Yes it is possibe. From the root prompt on a terminal you could "dd"the correct images to the correct partitions.
However I would recommend you try to find an other PC (windows 7? ) where the usb does work, and where the correct APX driver can be installed if the phone is in the invisible recovery mode. (you will have to have a plan B if the dd fails anyway).

My pc USB ports works, my phone port doesn't, thats why i need a secure guide to going back to the oldbootloader without connecting to the PC
micro-sdcard
Try with a micro sdcard. You can see the slot if you remove the back cover.
It has saved me a couple of times
Wut?

Wait,wat? i don't get it, i don't know what are you talking about, butl i went back to the old bootloader, had to buy a new part for my phone, i think this is solved. thanks for your reply!
When I plug my phone into my computer and run RSD Lite, no phone appears. The operating system of the phone is completely shot, so I need to flash an image of a fresh operating system. I can't do this without being able to use RSD Lite. Motorola Device Manager doesn't seem to be recognizing any available drivers for the device. I really need this phone unbricked. Any answer would be great.
I guess you should leave your phone in bootloader mode.
In order for RSD lite to work, you have to put your device into bootloader mode by holding vol down while you power on. Also, you need to make sure that you have a version of RSD lite that supports it. I've used 6.2.4 successfully.

If that's the case, and your phone is still not recognized, there is either a driver problem or a physical connection problem. Assuming you're on Windows, open the device manager. When you plug in the phone, does a new device appear? If so, your problem is likely driver related. If not, there is a problem with the physical connection, which you can troubleshoot by using a different USB port and/or USB cable.

Okay. So if it's in bootloader mode, and absolutely nothing happens in the windows device manager when you plug in the phone (no connected device sound, no unknown device, no known device, no nothing), and you're positive that that USB cable/ports on your PC are working, then it sounds like the USB port on your phone has stopped working, in which case there isn't much you can do. If there is no obvious physical damage, and the phone was never exposed to water, I would try getting Motorola (not Verizon) to replace it. It's free.

Hmm. Well then it is set up correctly. If you can't get RSDlite to work, you could always flash your images manually, since basically all RSDlite does is automate the Fastboot commands that are necessary to do this.
1. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot (or get Fastboot set up in the way of your choice).
2. Unzip the contents of the firmware that you're trying to flash to the same directory as Fastboot.exe.
3. Look for the .bat file that came in the firmware zip and edit it. You should see all of the fastboot commands necessary to flash the firmware.
4. Start fastboot and perform those commands (in the order that they appear) while the phone is in bootloader mode and plugged into the computer.

I have tried flashing multiple images with ADB and fastboot, but neither of them work. Sometimes it will flash and it doesn't work, and sometimes the sparsechunks just don't get accepted into the OS. I do not know why this is happening, but I have gotten fastboot to do something to the phone, it just didn't produce any results.
Well...that's bizarre. The only reasons I can think of for a sparsechunk not successfully flashing is that it's not the right image for your model of phone, you're trying to flash an OTA update zip instead of a full firmware zip or you're trying to flash an image that is a lower version than your bootloader's version. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that it sometimes flashes successfully and sometimes does not. However, if flashing all of the images in the full firmware zip does not help you, using RSDlite won't help you either since it does the exact same thing. If I were you, I'd try to get Motorola to replace it. It's really easy to do. You pretty much just fill out a form and they send you a new one. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks, I am already in the process of having Motorola replace the phone as I figured that would be the most logical option. Thanks for all the help! I will leave this thread open as a mystery to the community that hopefully someone will solve and in the process help someone else.
Hi. I decided to flash my Honor 3c with Cyanogenmod 12.1. My problem is that i need TWRP (now I have CWM) but i can't flash it to my device. I try to do it by SP Flash Tool, but after i connect my turned off device, I get this error:
BROM ERROR : S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)
[H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
[HINT]: 1. There's an cable communication problem between FlashTool and BootROM. 2. Target might be shutdown unexpectedly or target lost power supply.
[ACTION] 1. Try again. 2. Proceed H/W checking in download cable and target side com port. 3. Monitor if power-drop occured in target side.

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

When I do it, my phone just turns on normally.
How can I check if I have unlocked bootloader? I have unlocked it about 1 year ago, but I did full wipe yesterday.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.
edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.
My bad. I assumed you would have drivers already installed

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.
May have to manually install dribers if nothing works.

I installed Hisuite and connected my phone. Windows have downloaded drivers automatically. And still the same...
But I forgot to tell you that when I connecting my switched off phone, my pc says "USB Device Not Recognized" (or something like that, I dont have english version of windows). Everything is ok when my phone is switched on...
This phone is cursed. I try to give up and stay on my current ROM, so I installed Nova Launcher, but setting it as default doesn't work :/
Thanks for trying to help me anyway.

I was awake just for your post. I think I got the problem. You need fastboot drivers imo but I would have to read a bit before I can suggest how to go about it.
Am busy tomorrow but will try to get back to you in the evening (GMT+5 time zone).
Can never be 100% sure but still I am confident, your problem has a solution. Just bear with me a day or two

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

Anyone with the same issue ? I am stuck at the bootloader since I wiped out my system image I can get to the recovery but I don't have a way to transfer new ROM since phone wont detect USB (MTP).
I didn't have any image backed to restore to. Tried OTG cable/USB nothing worked
What are my options ?

Hi... Is data mounted and MTP enabled in TWRP?
Is your phone detected while in bootloader?
Try: fastboot devices
If phone is recognized, download stock firmware of your choice and flash it...

What operating system is installed on your computer?
Did you already install adb/fastboot drivers?
In device manager, while being in bootloader, is your phone detected when you plug your USB cable?
Did you try different cables, USB ports?

Might be a driver problem.
Connect it your windows pc and check the Device Manager if it is detected as "Android" device. If so uninstall it and disconnect and reconnect it to the pc. Let windows install the MTP drivers.

Hi all,
I have OP3T that just not recognized by my PC. I also have another OP3 that connects just fine to this PC. I tried dev menu and USB debug+ MTP, tried to wipe cache, install a new stock ROM downloaded from OP website, also installed the drivers in the PC.
device manager not shown anything when I connect the phone (no MTP device or Android device) and tried several cables and also another PC.
the phone was rooted until the last update (last December) and now I want to install custom ROM and I can't!
I think you want to fastboot flash a recovery?
What OS? Fastboot devices returns null?
yes, so I can install custom ROM eventually. my PC runs win 10 64X and right now my phone has stock android 8.0 (OOS).
what happens that when I connect my phone to the computer there is nothing going on- no now device in device manager and not a new driver pops, so I just can't flash recovery.
is there's an option to flash recovery without using the PC?

No generic MTP or Android device at all? On either PC, trying different ports (I know you said you tried multiple cables - which is good trouble shooting)? And no pop-up on the phone, allowing you to select MTP (move files, or whatever it says)?
If that I the case, I tend to think the USB port is damaged.

I've seen some folks package TWRP into a bootloader-flashable zip on other devices, but haven't seen anything like that on the 3T.
More importantly, I'd say it's very risky modding the phone with custom recovery and flashing a ROM, without having fastboot and adb tools available. You can get stuck in a real bad jam doing this, with tools to recover the device. I don't recommend it.
Yes I tried it all but there is no indication besides the device is charging while connected to the USB port.
OP support say that this might be the case, but I don't know if I want to replace it since my screen is cracked and it will brake it as soon as I open the phone
