I recently got a z3c and decided to try to get a slim rom on it.
I have done the following:
I unlocked the bootloader.
This was done successfully to the best of my knowledge
The next thing I did was flash a cwm image to by z3c using fastboot. The problem was that I flashed the z3 version on my z3c.
The device would boot but the screen would be blank.
Later I flashed the z3c boot loader named : Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105
After this the device goes in a boot loop. I am able to access CWM.
I have tried to root the phone as well as flash the slim rom in an attempt to fix it....
Wiping disk / cache doesn't help.
Also for some reason even though adb drivers are installed I cannot use it so I can't get the twrp install to work.
I have no idea what to do can someone please help?
Thanks,
stp
I have same issue....Phone is ib bootloop...i can still go to fastboot mode....
Anything can be done here????
Flash an factory image with flashtool then you will have original recovery. Then reinstall CWM, maybe smth went wrong.
Tried flashtool---Ended up with errors as attached pic
As i cant bootup my phone...USB Debugging option cant be ticked
I was running SlimLP (unofficial) while bricked my phone....
Anything on that please....
I managed to recover my phone. I don't think you need usb debugging for flash tool. What I did was turn the phone off (power and volume up seem to be the buttons that force shutdown and break the reboot loop).
flashtool will prompt you to connect when you flash the ftf file and you hold power up and volume down when you connect the usb cable. If you have issues flashing (it hanged on me on system.bin) try restarting your computer.
Resolution and Problem Exp
Right after flashing the device recovery through fastboot the USB cable is plugged and that seems to loop the boot loader, so you need to force shutdown while looping by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP, and after that unplug the USB cable. You will notice that on boot now the light is no longer red.

I have a relatively new Nexus 6. The last phone that I rooted was the old HTC Hero, and things have changed! I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone under 5.1.1 and when I flashed Marshmallow 6.0 yesterday I lost root.
So I decided that I would try to root the phone again. I had problems with the drivers... my PC would recognize the phone when it was powered up normally but as soon as I booted into fastboot I couldn't get ADB to find it.
Then I went to this link: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/marshmallow-root-for-nexus-5-6-7-9-and-player-by-chainfire-84862/
got my fastboot and adb set up and working, followed his instructions to get root, flashed the twrp image, and flashed the SuperSU file. Everything seemed to work properly. Made a complete backup using twerp and transferred it to my PC via USB.
After all this a tap on Reboot System was supposed to restart the phone. Didn't happen.
I'm stuck in a fastboot recovery loop. Whenever I power down and try to turn the phone on I come back to the fastboot screen. When I elect to go into "recovery" it opens the twrp screen on my phone which asks for my pin and then I have the twrp screen with the regular options.
This is new to me... I don't know if access to the twrp screen and its commands is a help or not, but I do realize that the adb and fastboot on my PC is necessary for about anything I need to do and it seems to be working. I believe that I've described my situation accurately...
Any help appreciated!

how about this, adb NEVER EVER works in fastboot mode. that is reserved exclusively for fastboot. you have to use fastboot to flash a recovery, then the recovery to flash supersu.

now it also seems as you have to fastboot flash a factory image as well.

I asked for help before searching thoroughly enough! I figured out that I needed to download another ROM, transfer it into the phone's storage, and install using TWRP. I really didn't understand the capabilities of this fabulous application and had simply flashed it because the thread instructed me to.
Tried rooting my phone today through this method
IBtimes method if you google search it you'll see it immediately
Booted in TWRP installed both Zeus Kernel and Super SU as linked but then when I reboot my phone its stuck in boot loop tried going to recovery mode and was stuck with no command error. Any ways I can recover my phone? I also can't go through adb reboot recovery command for some reasons.. I don't know what to do anymore.
If u can use fastboot to reboot on bootloader mode reflash twrp and then restore a backup if u have
Hello everyone, I am new to this forum so please forgive if I misplaced this thread
The problem is next:
I want to root my P8 Lite (and convert to dual sim but first things first). I have read some threads here, also that mega-thread, did everything step by step.
First I have requested unlock code from Huawei and successfully unlocked bootloader (fastboot shows it's unlocked and booting in bootloader shows Phone UNLOCKED).
Second, I installed ADB drivers, HiSuite recognizes my phone, adb devices shows it, everything runs smoothly. I downloaded and tried bat file that automatically roots it (the lazy way ) but not success so far. Then I rebooted completely and did everything step by step using cmd.
1. adb reboot bootloader (OK)
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (OK)
3. fastboot reboot (OK)
4. adb push UPDATE_SuperSU-v2.46.zip /su.zip (OK)
5. adb shell /sbin/recovery --update_package=/su.zip (SEGMENTATION FAULT)
I am stuck at step 5, clearly. Also I tried commands one by one:
adb shell
/sbin/recovery
But that returns Permission Denied.
Tried that again through Minimal and ADB Fastboot, through SDK, but no success so far. Thought that Windows 10 may be the problem, but the same was on laptop with Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help here.
I don't know. In my opinion, you can put the SuperSU flashable zip into your phone through USB, and boot into TWRP Recovery, mount /system, then flash it.I'm not sure about it. Maybe it can help.
P.S.: You can see https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...de-to-unlock-bootloader-t3150616/post61708277this post, find the UPDATE-2.

I can't boot into recovery, it shows nothing. There is a sound that usb is connected but screen remains black, I can't install twrp over stock recovery. Is sd card necessary or this can be done just with phone memory?

I had some problems installing TWRP and SU after my update to B588.
I used Xepeleato's TWRP edition with the 2 zip SU installation (I have so many files, that I cannot remember where I got them ).
So, flashed TWRP, then connected via usb (if I am not mistaken) and then via adb rebooted into recovery. Then flashed both of the files for the SU.
I will try doing that with install from sd card, from service menu, otherwise I can't install over stock recovery.
Also can't root it. I soft bricked my phone 3 times and then had to flash Cust, Boot and all the other images using a script I found on the Megathread and set it up all over again. I have an unlocked bootloader but can't root it and I am too scared to try again.
That's my problem, first time softbricked it, then I flashed stock recovery and fixed it, bootloader unlocked but can't root.
Just in case you are on B588: I had problem with the official recovery of the build (don't know for sure if it is different from the others) and flashed the one extracted from B584 and then flashed TWRP.
I'm on B585
if I were you, i'd flash twrp, through adb and then boot into recovery through adb also and flash the 2 zip SU files at once. clear cache and dalvik and reboot.

How did you flash the one from B584?
EDIT: Nevermind, I did it. I booted to recovery through adb and TWRP was working
Did it, found some chinese twrp that worked for me. Now other problem came up
I tried to downgrade to Lollipop and setup was successfull. When phone restarted display wasnt showing anything,just bars and flashes and pixels etc, startup sound is there but no preview. Fastboot system flash returns failed, also erase.

1) let your phone charge - in case you don't have enough battery.
2) Try to download your desired build.
3) download Huawei extractor and with this, extract boot, recovery, cust and system.
4) search a bit on the big thread (root, unbrick convert etc) on how to enter fastboot. I cannot remember the exact steps, but there is a way for sure.
5) initiate adb and flash all the 4 images you extracted.
This is in general what you have to do.
Wishing you good luck!
If I find something more I'll let you know.
PS : when I had mine bricked I entered bootloader by following these steps if I am not mistaken :
Connect phone to pc
Keep Pressing the power button and when the screen turns off, press and hold the volume up (while pressing the power button).
When the phone vibrates, release the power button.
Tried everything, boot, recovery and cust flashed successfully but sytem "cant load system.img" even with using -S 512M or 1G or 256M. I took it for a repair, hope they will sort it out.
The guy from service did not succeed, he told me that he tried everything that I have, and that the phone can't be repaired. But I did.
I downloaded the latest firmware for my country, formatted SD card as FAT32, put it in my phone and rebooted, so folders Android, LOST.DIR and System Volume Information were created. I put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my SD card. Then I let phone charge fully until LED indicator was green. Plugged out the charger, and pressed Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. When the phone restarted, on startup vibration I let go power button and kept holding Volume Up and Down for about 3s. Then when I let them, display went completely black and nothing happened. I put the charger but it wasn't charging so I hoped that it started forced upgrade. Left it on the table and about 15min later it vibrated again on restart and - success!! Huawei logo on screen, booting up, EMUI optimizing device. So happy I solved it. Also thanks for answering guys!
Hi,
I'll start by saying this is the first time i've tried putting a custom rom on a phone.
I unlocked the device, enabled usb debugging and installed twrp. I was able to get into recovery mode and wiped the correct partitions.
I was then unable to install pixel experience? I was unsure how to put the rom on the phone. It was not coming up on my pc when connected.
I then disabled MTP and rebooted the phone. It went straight to fastboot and no matter how many times i reflash twrp, or what button combinations i push, i'm stuck in fastboot.
Can anyone help?!
Thanks in advance!
A helpless noob
