Messed with Stock Recovery BAH-W09 - Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers

Hello, I have a MediaPad M3 (BAH-W09), I unlocked the bootloader through Huawei, i tried to flash a TWRP recovery and i got this
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 531628032 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24652 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.778s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.318s]
finished. total time: 1.102s
I think i messed the recovery because i cant boot into twrp and everytime i try to boot into the device go into a sort of bootloop and the only chance i have to go out is to boot into fastboot. So I can boot it in the normal way and into fastboot but i dont know how to flash the stock recovery or a stock flash through fastboot. I have EMUI 5.1 and android 7.0. I saw many model of Mediapad m3, my question is if the firmwares/recovery of the other models are compatible with mine. Thank you

Hello GiammyA7X,
Thank you very much for your PN.
I am new at the XDA forum and I hope I can help you with my small experience.
Is it possible for you to get into the factory reset menu (pressing VOL+, VOL- and POWER buttons together)? Maybe you can try to do a force update in this menu with downloading the factory firmware to delete the twrp?
I also found the MultiTool application: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
Maybe you can give it a try, too.
Which Build number do you have? I bought my BAH-W09 in China with the Build number BAH-W09C233B227 and I would like to get a European one. I found a BAH-W09C100B12 FullOTA firmware with FirmwareFinder (I am not sure if it is the European one). When I installed it with force update a error is occurred and the C233 firmware is booting again.
Best regards,
thm.

Hello, I'm glad that my PM helped you, by the way i fixed it: I downloaded stock firmware for my device through Firmware Finder and i extracted the Recovery.img and flashed in fastboot and after i made a Wipe Data/Format Factory. Now i have stock fw and stock recovery, the problem is i cant find anything about a custom recovery or root for BAH-W09 and no one seems to know about. I made several try flashing twrp and twrp m3 greatslon but nothing work. I have EMUI 5.1 and Android 7.0, my build number is BAH-W09C1000B022.

Me neither. Maybe the only possible way is to compile the TWRP by ourselves.

Thats a little bit diffcult for "regular" users I think.

Recovery not working

I`m having problems with booting into recovery on my OnePlus2.
This started after I did an update to OxygenOS 3.0 (beta) from my previously working TWRP.
OS itself is working, but I noticed that phone must be rerooted.. and here I found that Power + VolDown is not working anymore (phone is just stucked on 1+ logo).
OKay... I decided to reflash TWRP (who knows what may happened with it after update) but nothing helped. I tried different versions, even original OP2 recovery.. but result is always the same.
How I was trying to reflash:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (31700 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.702s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.248s]
finished. total time: 0.950s
but booting is always giving DTB error:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.713s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.781s
I saw in other posts that dtb means broken image/etc, but I tried several and all were with the same result.
What else I can try? Please note that regular booting is working with no problems. The only problem I have is booting into recovery (with buttons and with fastboot).
Posted in wrong section. Should be in Q&A.
However to answer your question.
This has the same bootloader as H2OS Marshmallow. So, please TWRP users flash the way as mentioned below. Else you won't be able to boot into old twrp.
DOWNLOADS :-
recovery.img :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297945
Step 1 :- Clean flash the ROM with new boootloader.
Step 2 :- From TWRP,go to Install Menu,click on Images button.
Step 3 :- Select the recovery.img you just downloaded.Select Recovery.Swipe to flash.
Step 4 :- From TWRP Home,reboot to recovery.
Step 5 :- Clean flash ROM with new bootloader again.
Step 6 :- Reboot into system !!!
Thanks and sorry for the wrong section.
Can you please give a bit more info on step 1 ? what rom to flash and how (current recovery is not working) ?

It seems you are flashing the wrong version of TWRP. The version you are flashing isn't going to work on OOS 3.0 Beta. You need specifically the H2-MM TWRP 3.0.0-1 version, which, like the previous posters listed can be downloaded here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297945
If you are flashing a version that you downloaded direct from TWRP's website, it won't work.
I tested different versions, including 3.0.x mentioned by you. all of them gave the same result.
Btw, the recovery tool in the link above already fixed my problem.

Could you describe exactly what did you do? At the link that you mention there is 3 methods and different recovery tools.
I followed "Method 1" from the link and then flashed TWRP recovery on top of it - this way it worked with no problems. Flashing TWRP (different versions) without this recovery tool was always unsuccessful.
Well, as long as you flash the chinese HydrogenOS version of TWRP you should get a bootable recover system.

I recently rooted my OnePlus 2.
The bootloader is unlocked.
The twrp recovery was working fine till I flashed to oxygen os 2.0.0
Now the OnePlus2 is not booting into recovery.
There is a oxygen os update (3.5.8) available which shows in the system updates section in settings.
Can I update to this without the recovery??!
Will that help to go back to twrp recovery?!
Please help

Flashing stock firmware will overwrite twrp, so always flash OOS and twrp after it in case you want to keep it, twrp can flash the twrp.img file, not only zips, I never used OOS2 but actually you should have stock recovery back by flashing OOS, it seems that something went wrong. Just flash twrp again, like the first time you did it, if you want to go back to stock including recovery flash OOS full zip again and reboot...
Only OOS will overwrite twrp, custom roms won't

P9 Lite cannot flash stock firmware

I have a Huawei P9 lite. (VNS-L31 dual sim) . I tried to install medrom 3 and after flashing, phone didn't boot up. So I flashed b161 firmware again using 3 button method and phone booted up. Then I realized I couldn't add my google account. After searching on xda I found a method to fix that.(flashing oem info ). But after doing that, when the phone boots up after the huawei logo the error message which says "your device has been unlocked" has become red.( Usually it's yellow). And in about phone my model number has been changed to something like hi6250 or hi650.( Can't remember the exact thing). Then I tried to reflash my b161 firmware using 3 button menu and voila. It says incompatible version. I can't flash it. Then I replaced my build prop with my friend's phone's build prop. But unfortunately it has the B151 version. Though I have B161 version installed, my about phone says it has B151 version. And I can't flash stock firmware using twrp or dload method od any how. Please help

That's normal if the message is red, it means that the bootloader Will be relocked.
Now for the build prop, download b161 version, use huawei firmware extractor , extract boot.img system.img and cust.img
And by fastboot type :
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
And voila, b161 is installed in your phone !

If fastboot say "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)", its because your bootlaoder is locked, reunlock it !

Unable to read/mount data says your encryption key got changed by something, whatever. You need to Wipe Internal storage and flash twrp again ( I recomment matic`s ) Reboot to recovery again, if you got one, flash a flashable fw via twrp. I Dont know if the stock recovery Accepts a fully wiped intern storage, i guess not and it declines the update.app method.
In the best case for sure you recover an older backup to get the Same enc. Key back

how to recover?

Since I lost everything from the boot to the recovery to the system part to anything, i haven't been able to boot the phone;
I can access erecovery but when I try to recover the phone it stops at downloading and then says couldn't connect to servers so that's dead;
I can access TWRP but when I try to flash MM, it returns errors saying that it couldn't mount partitions (Vendor, cust and other...)
I can access fastboot mode. Some people suggested that I should try recovering using dload but the transfert rate to the sd card is taking forever;
Now I extracted everything from update.app using huawei firmware extractor (see http://imgur.com/MWeCCXi ) what should I flash (via fastboot) and in what order?
I would really appreciate the help.

By Nougat I assume you mean the file that has been digged out somewhere in the web and that is floating around here in the forums?
Well we all don't really know what this build exactly is, which makes it very hard to reconstruct your errors and give you advice... I would never flash that but okay, that's why we are here
Do you have a TWRP backup that you can restore (and if no, maybe somebody can upload you a clean TWRP restore file)?
Have you tried flashing CM / AICP?

Hi there. Earlier I spent a few painful hours in the same boat you were in. I've managed to get back to a fresh install of the Nougat build from this thread, but can't seem the downgrade to MM using the (translated from Spanish) instructions found here (linked from that first thread). How did you manage to get back to MM?
(I should add that I tried to flash boot, system and recovery via fastboot without any success).

May god have mercy on your soul.
For the downgrade, I didn't use the b161 directly. I flashed some oeminfo provided in the same folder as the TWRP. Then used b150 ans the three boutons method. Worked like a charm.
Hope it will help you downgrade your phone.

Screwed up phone while rolling back Android 7 - help?

So for some background, I was on EMUI 4.1 and successfully flashed to EMUI 5.
Then, I wanted to rollback so I flashed recovery again and stock firmware. I tried flashing with fastboot and didn't work. I tried using Huawei recovery 3-button method, no luck either.

Click to collapse
When I was booting into Revolution recovery, I could not mount SD card and some other partitions so maybe that has something to do with the 3-button method problem... Furthermore, I don't know how to check which version exactly my phone is, all I know is that it was VNS-L31.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that is constantly rebooting so how do I proceed?
First of all...
Please tell me you have a backup of your Nougat ROM. If yes, restore it.
I have failed to go back to MM several times like you before.
It really is a question of using the right files.
First, flash the OEMInfo that is provided here in the forums.
Second, flash the right firmware. This one is tricky. For me, ONLY VNS-L31 Version C150 worked. No other.
Flashing with fastboot always never works. It always gives an error on system. So you need to find a firmware that works with 3-button method.
Your task now is the get back to working Nougat, since you did something wrong.
Unlock BL, flash Nougat recovery with fastboot.
Then,
easiest is like I said restoring a backup.
If you don't have one, try flashing the Revolution ROM by BadWolf.

Have just solved the problem with the steps from here.
From my understanding, it seems that I lost almost everything, device info, OEM info, recovery... So no technique was working.
The solution in brief was:
1. Go into bootloader to flash recovery (I used Revolution Recovery)
2. In recovery, flash OEM info.
3. Then used the 3-button method to install stock version for the appropriate model (which I could see from OEM info).
4. Unlocked bootloader, triggering a factory reset. (I was stuck in infinite boot before this point.)
As you say Schlengge, it is a matter of using the right files! Thanks. Problem solved.

Updating Huawei P9 Lite h3g/it to Nougat

Hi everyone. I've already rooted my Huawei P9 lite and now I'd like to update it to Android Nougat.
I tried to install different versions of firmware through OTA, but none of them worked out well. I'm starting to think that this is due to the firmware which are not compatible with my device, and considering that my build number is quite uncommon, that could also be the case. I read from some threads that I have to unroot and lock the bootloader again in order to perform the update, but honestly I'm too lazy right now and I'd prefer to keep my device rooted if it's possible.
Does anybody know what could I do in this case?
OEM Build Number: VNS-L31ITAC555B160
OEM Product Model: HUAWEI VNS-L31
Vendor Country: h3g/it

I read from some threads that I have to unroot and lock the bootloader again in order to perform the update, but honestly I'm too lazy right now and I'd prefer to keep my device rooted if it's possible.
Does anybody know what could I do in this case?
OEM Build Number: VNS-L31ITAC555B160
OEM Product Model: HUAWEI VNS-L31
Vendor Country: h3g/it

Hi,
you have to rebrand to the Global version (IMO) :
1. install TWRP 3.0.2.0 , Link
2. In TWRP flash C432 oeminfo.zip Link
3. Go back to TWRP's menu without reboot
4. Follow instructions (from step 3.).

Thanks for your help. Is the VNS-L31C432B370 firmware compatible with single sim?

No, that's why I gave you the link to oeminfo dual Sim. If that's a problem for you, try looking for the B371, I didn't find one.

It's not a problem for me. What problems could I encounter if I use a dual sim firmware?

It has no effect on the phone's functionality.
Btw, there's B371 Link ,but it may be password protected . For Single SIM firmware use this Oeminfo.zip

I tried to flash the C432 oeminfo, but after rebooting a black screen with red text appears and I can't unlock my phone because it's unable to decrypt the internal archive. Same thing with the singlesim oem info.
Also I can't mount the Internal Storage from TWRP because it results as 0 MB.
The only way I found to solve this issue is by restoring the original oeminfo from a previous backup.

I've installed the с432b370 update correctly, but I can't flash the data package (update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip).

it happens sometimes...
Just to be sure - reboot to fastboot mode and run command:
fastboot oem get-build-number
and post result.

Okay, now read carefully:
1. Download TWRP for Nougat Link
2. Flash it over eRecovery (!)
using command:
fastboot flash recovery2 twrp3102.img (recovery2 , not recovery!)
3. Flash stock Recovery Nougat
Link use:
fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img
4. Reboot, when yellow warning appears, press and hold Volume Up for 3-4 seconds, you should boot into TWRP
5. In TWRP select Wipe - Format data - yes - confirm. Go back - Reboot - System
6. And again, after yellow warning Volume Up and reboot TWRP. Now you can try install second .zip file hw_eu.
7. Reboot into Recovery and do factory reset.
Good luck!

Hey, I'm not doubting your instructions! Hahaha.
I'm just asking, what should I do now? I can't flash TWRP to recovery2 if it doesn't allow me to commit any command.

Restart your phone, if the BL is really unlocked, after restart appears on screen yellow warning. Fastboot sometimes lies...

Okay, finally I flashed TWRP. After restart, I pressed Volume Up key but it remains on the yellow warning screen with the text "Your device is booting now...".
Edit:
I solved this by installing Venus TWRP for P9 lite. Then, I followed all the instructions and updated to B416 through dlaod, and later to B418 through OTA. Additionally, I had to unlock the bootloader again and root.
Now I have a fully-functional P9 lite updated to Android Nougat

Hi everyone. I've already rooted my Huawei P9 lite and now I'd like to update it to Android Nougat.
