Hi everyone,
I flashed the OTA update for the AOSB rom earlier today. Upon doing so I realised that my Gapps weren't functioning properly: so, I went to go into my recovery to re-flash them but wait. My recovery seems to have disappeared. I have tried manually flashing the boot.img and I have also tried adb reboot recovery; I have also tried flashing Philz CWMR but to no avail. The LED does not turn on during boot to indicate that there is a recovery option and I am unable to find any way to get into recovery to reflash Gapps.
So, I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know how to get my recovery back, or, if all else fails, just to flash gapps some other way.
Thanks in advance!

Try to restart to recovery from power menu (from ROM), that wilk work if you still have recovery..
Couldn't you just go to fastboot mod and flash boot.img with recovery?
I'm not 100% sure there is kernel with recovery to fastboot for Z1 but I know that was the easiest way on XS...
If that fails, download Goomanager from market and install recovery with it...

Use fastboot to flash the boot.img and please post the output here
Will give it a shot

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I've tried getting into recovery that way as well (already had it in my power menu) but to no avail either: I think it might be gone.
If by that you mean extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash that then yes I have tried it.
And as for your third suggestion I'll take a look at that and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!
All looks fine to me

I've fixed it!
Thanks for all of your help but I worked out how to fix it
For future reference, if anyone has the same issue download the Z1 multirecovery package and run that.
Sorry, I can't post the link
Should solve the problem
Thanks for all of your help anyway!
I wonder if its just a wronf sequence of button pressing
Maybe the boot.img for that rom has not implemented the LED notification, and maybe you need to press volume up or volume down......
But there should be a recovery in that kernel
I made a mistake and did not turn on the debug mode. So when trying to unlock the bootloader using the tool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/ultimate-moto-g-2014-toolkit-t2979862
it dint work. Now I keep getting "UTAG "flashfail" configured as fastboot" error. I have searched the forums and it seems I need to reflash the motorola boot img to get it to work.
Someone please help me out with it. I am on the latest 5.0.2 update for XT1068 - Indian version.

heres a flashable zip if you have custom recovery, or just use the boot.img (5.0.2) from unzipped file
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
That worked. But now having another issue
I have rooted a lot of phones but this is the first I am stumbling my way through it. I unlocked the bootloader by going to Motorola's site and then went ahead and tried to root the phone using the tool mentioned in original post.
So the tool pushes the boot.img and reboots the phone. Then even when the phones boots in TWRP, the computer keeps saying waiting for device.
Now when I try to do a normal boot, I get the warning from Motorola but then phone wont bootup. No matter how much I wait or even try to re-flash the above image.

Please don't use mfastboot. It is known for having problems with latest Android versions. You can use Minimal adb and fastboot or the the latest Android SDK.
Next make sure you have flashed the latest TWRP 2.8.4.0.
Wipe everything in twrp. Cache, dalvik and data.
MTP is a bit messed up (not just on our devices). Go to mount, disable mtp, unmount everything, connect usb and enable MTP. Now your device should appear on your computers file manager.
One last thing. Unless you flash the latest SuperSU 2.4.5, stock Lollipop will automatically remove twrp and reinstall stock recovery on the next boot (Actually there is another way. But why would you want to install TWRP without rooting the phone).

Oh. After many tries now I am stuck in a bootloop. The phones goes to the "warning" then reboots for 5-6 times before it actually starts up. So I am wondering what will be the correct way to go about rooting and clearing this mess. And I see only SuperSu 2.4.0 in play store. has there been a latest version?

So I went this way. I installed the recovery using the tool mentioned in the op. Installed SuperSU latest. Still when I go to bootloader and try recovery, nothing happens. I booted up the phone to see if SuperSU is installed and it appears fine in the apps. But the recovery wont load no matter what.
Another strange thing even when I am connected on 3G, I am not getting the icon.

I got in the first time using the tool mentioned in the op. I checked and it uses the command:
fastboot.exe boot twrp.img
This causes the phone to boot into twrp and I can copy the SuperSU to install. But the recovery still doesn't work.

Ok so this is what has happened:
1. I use the tool mentioned which uses the command:
fastboot.exe boot twrp.img
2. This causes the phone to boot into TWRP recovery. Then I installed SuperSU.
3. Rebooted the phone completely and checked the version of SuperSU.
4. Again went to the bootloader menu, selected TWRP. Nothing happens at this setup. phone doesn't boot at all. on clicking the power button it goes into normal boot
5. I tried going to the bootloader menu and running.
fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img
still no luck. Again trying to go from the bootloader menu to recoery yields no boot up.

Ok. Let's try this.
Can you boot normally into android? If so, please look if SuperSU is installed. If so, go to play store and install Android Terminal Emulator.
Open it and type
Code:
su
Supersu should pop up. Allow root.
Next type
Code:
reboot recovery
The device should boot into recovery. ( some people have this problem)

Nice. Until you can go directly to the recovery, be very carefull not to leave the recovery without having flashed a rom and SuperSU. Also make sure that you grant adb access by accepting the RSA key when connecting the device with your computer. Just in case.

I am actually fine with a stock ROM on Motorola for now. They have lesser fluff than samsung et al. The major reason for trying to root the phone was to get TitanBackup working, I have been preserving some apps at a particular version in my last phone. The only way I found to restore the app and data was to use TitanBackup. The whole unlock the bootloader was because of Motorola adding a step to do this.
Adding recovery was an addition just in case Motorola forgets about us 1 year down the line. Then might flash to CM or something
Good day! Anyone care to tell me how can I apply an official update through the updater while being rooted? I just know there is a way, but really can't find one. Thanks in advance folks! Cheers! ?
AFAIK you have to flash original recovery... And if your CUST is the same.aa the update you want to flash by DLOAD or by OTA should work..You'll lose your root when flashing ... There a lot of posts and info... Search

I have searched the internet with no luck on this detail:

What do I do after this? When I try to boot into TWRP I either get stuck forever at Device is booting now... or otherwise I boot into original Huawei eRecovery... I have read somewhere that original EMUI ROM maybe rewrites custom recovery if OS(ROM) boots before you entered recovery?
What is the correct way to boot into TWRP, what key combo? Since I get phone bootloader unlocked warning! right after powering on the phone, do I press the combination right away or after the warning shows up? I've been trying to boot custom recovery for hours, this is silly...
This is not the first I'm rooting a phone, but I simply can't seem to get into TWRP I just flashed so I can install SuperSU from SD card...
I have tried older TWRP version too, didn't help.

You don't need TWRP to root, just fastboot flash the modified boot.img
He doesn't want to root... He wants to get official updates so he needs to change CUST.
1st open BL
2nd flash TWRP
3rd put oemcust432. Zip on internal storage
4th boot TWRP and flash that zip
5th flash with Dload method the full c432b136... And enjoy the updates...
Note: if you already are at nougat... Not sure if you need you follow the steps I did when I was under an operator MM release

Hey man, I got a problem just like you and this is the way I fixed it.
Download the Huawei update extractor:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
And use this to open your Update.app you already downloaded.
Extract the 'boot.img' and the 'system.img'.
Now you need fastboot, follow this tutorial:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-...tall-adb-and-fastboot-system-wide-in-windows/
Now open terminal/cmd/powershell and open the folder the boot.img and system.img you extracted are in.
Connect your phone in fastboot and run the following commands:
fastboot flash system [Extracted_System.Img]
fastboot flash boot [Extracted_Boot.img]
fastboot reboot
This resolved the issue for me, I hope also for you!

How did he brick it? What was he specifically doing (nougat update etc.)? Do you get the same error when you try and flash a boot image, stock recovery or other partitions?
Can you install twrp? If so, try wiping the system & boot partitions in twrp, then try flashing boot & system again in fastboot. If he'd updated to nougat, then you'll need to try and flash the rollback package first then dload a Marshmallow rom and go from there
I would suggest using this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/huawei-p9-eva-l09-eva-l19-eva-l29-tool-t3591358
to install this tool to unlock bootloader and install twrp.
After unlocking your bootloader everything on your phone is gone though.
Then in twrp you can try to repair your your partitians by going to wipe->advanced wipe->repair or change...
And thereafter continue with the steps is provided earlier or install a new rom, this is up to you.
I hope it fixes it for you.

I think im using the wrong files. Can anyone please share the link for a full stock rom nougat , or a roll back from nougat to mm (i flashed this VNS-L21C185B360 latest)
or maybe i need to do write the oeminfo or something. Read it somewhere. not clear on what it is

Putting the puzzle back again:
I think the genius removed the oeminfo along with everything else he could see in the twrp wipe menu.
I tried to put multiple firmwares on the device nougat ( as he updated) but the boot still showed blank.
As soon as i flashed the oeminfo --> then MM firmware, the device booted up.
Thank you so much everyone for your help. Really appreciate it :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Excellent! :good::good:
And I'm sure your friend is glad to have a working phone again!
Explains why dload wouldn't work as well. As far as I'm aware the update.app checks oeminfo to make sure the firmware is compatible. Hence if you want to debrand a phone to C432, you have to flash a C432 oeminfo before the C432 update.app will flash successfully. No oeminfo=no compatibility for anything!!!

Hello,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 5C (it seems to work) and now I wanted to flash it with TWRP.

Already got this screen when I had first unlocked the bootloader but I had choices to continue which I no longer have.
Any idea? Did I forgot something?
I can still access the fastboot mode by holding power+volume down.
Any idea?
Thanks
Update: I succeed to boot into eRocovery when holding volume up+power during boot. However, how can I go to ROM now?
Ok, I can try that
Where can I find these images? I have the NEM-L51 C432B355 version.
I am using Linux
Oh sorry, you mean the OS on the phone or on my PC? I can access a Windows PC if needed.
I have the stock ROM on the phone, EMUI 5 which is Android 7.0 Nougat I believe.

Try what? Sorry but I am noy sure how to flash stock recovery.
Could you guide?
Thank you. I have found a link to the stock image NEM-L51C10B355 (google).
Then, using the software Huawei Update Extractor (still using google) on a Windows PC. I was able to extract the recovery.img and boot.img files.
I have flashed both using fastboot
Code:
$ fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
$ fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
$ fasboot reboot
recovery.img B355
boot.img B355
and it worked.
I guess I will retry TWRP later
I guess it should not be very different, you just need a different image.
I have given the steps I made to resolve it in my previous message, I hope it helps.

Do you mean the stock recovery or the TWRP ?
For the TWRP, I used the official website with the honor 5c page but it seems it does not work as I got stuck in a recovery loop (so maybe there is a better image somewhere else). I have tried both 3.1.1 and 3.1.0 version.
To restore, I used the stock ROM NEM-L51 C432B355 I have found here and I extracted the stock recovery using Huawei Update Extractor.

Geeze, no need to be rude. I gave you above the link where I got the image. If you have better source, you can just give the link.

You won't be able to use these twrp on twrp.me bro, if you on N, you need a special unofficial TWRP:

Cool! Did not know the twrp.me did not work for Nougat.
It looks like this is the image for the P9. Did you used it successfully on a 5C ?

You can try this twrp : https://github.com/OpenKirin/android....1-0-venus.img . You need to press vol up + power,keep pressing them until the twrp logo shows up. I`m using the same twrp on my NEM-L21 .
