Hello! First of all sorry for my explanations but i'm not English. I'm S-off and tried to flash a new recovery through Android Flasher but since I can't acces the recovery anymore ! Please help me I would be grateful
Try it via fastboot.
1.Download the desired recovery .img file from the site.
2. Download android SDK from official site, and run SDK Manager. When it is running, then install the platform-tools (revision 3 ATM), too.
3. Copy the file (.img) you downloaded into the android SDK folder, where fastboot.exe is located.
4. Reboot your phone into fastboot (holding down BACK+POWER keys when the phone is switched off) - it should show FASTBOOT USB.
4a. Make sure you have the USB drivers installed (for me HTC sync is not needed, i used the UNREVOKED USB drivers instead)
5. Fastboot flash. navigate to your android SDK directory in Command Promt (CMD.EXE) then run these commands:
a, fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod2518.img (or whatever is the name of the file)
b, fastboot reboot-bootloader
c, fastboot erase cache
6. You have now the recovery installed.
You don't have to have access to the recovery to flash anything that uses fastboot. For fastboot do what davebugyi said, if you want to use the Android Flasher, just boot into the rom or even better, boot into the bootloader. It works a charm. Fastboot has never worked for me for some weird reason, never have gotten it to work but the Android Flasher works.
1.) Install Android SDK,
2.) Get the Recovery.IMG file of the Clockworkmod version you want to flash. (I linked the thread above, where you can get it)
3.) Place this in the SDK's Tools folder.
4.) Reboot your phone in the bootloader mode. (Power Down. Press Vol Down + Power Key together)
5.) Enter Fastboot mode (Press Power button on Fastboot).
6.) Open Command Prompt on Windows.
7.) cd (browse) to the SDK's tools folder.
8.) Type the following command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". (Without quotes.)
I done that, it
comes up cannot load 'recovery.img'
If you have installed the complete Android SDK, be sure to paste the Recovery file in the "Tools" subfolder of the SDK.
Also make sure the recovery file's name is recovery.img. If the name is different, the command will change appropriately.
Cannot load recovery.img says that everything is ok. Otherwise it would have said no such file or directory. I think the file is the problem. Try to download the file again and do it. Maybe it works.

Just place the downloaded firmware (UL-xxx.zip) into root folder on your internal storage or external sdcard. The system will automatically recognize it and asking do you want to flash it.
Just make sure you had the correct regional firmware (mine was WW)

Rename your downloaded firmware to K012_sdupdate.zip then copy to your MICROSD. Now you just have to go into droidboot mode.
Follow the step below to go into droidboot. (Start by turn off your device).
1. If you had never update to kitkat before, go into droidboot by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until droidboot menu is present.
2. If you have update to kitkat before (or currently on kitkat), boot into droidboot by holding VOL UP + POWER until menu is present.
Next step depend on menu that appear on your droidboot menu:
1. If you had SD UPDATE option presented on the MOST BELOW option, go on and select it. (Beware, you should choose SD UPDATE not SD DOWNLOAD)
2. If your menu doesnt show SD UPDATE, then you had to choose RECOVERY.
I think thats all to do, your device must have start the update process by now.

But there is no recovery mode in this device like cwm or twrp..............
have a look.....
in the video below i have started in recovery without puting the firmware archieve in sdcard....will it surely work...
and one thing more is there ant way to install cwm or twrp or any other recovery on this device......
Flash fonepad firmware
It's very easy. Just put the downloaded zip file in the root of you internal memory and you will see a notification which says it has detected a new update file. Tap on it and install.
Good luck

Then you need to use ADB tools and fastboot. Before anything you need to download the attached files which contains ADB tools and intel usb drivers. Download the files and extract it somewhere . Go to "intelandroiddrvsetup1.1.5.zip" and install the drivers. Then Power off your tablet. Hold down the Volume + and Power and rlease at the Asus logo comes up. Now you will see the fastboot menu.
Connect your tablet to your PC. Now go to the folder you extracted the zip file. Press the Shift key and Right click somewhere in the folder. Choose "open command window here".
Then type this commands one by one and press Enter:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img). Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
The last step is that you should put the firmware zip file on your external SD card. Rename it to k012_sdupdate.zip
Now use the volume keys on you tablet to choose the Recovery (if you have updated to 4.4.2) or SD Update (if your android version was 4.3). Press the Power to choose it. The tablet will reboot and flash the firmware.

I bricked my phone after flahing EMUI 9.0 and subsequently First Ever ROM build 10/12/2018 as well. My phone was booting in to stock eRecovery only. Ofcourse I was able to boot in to bootloader / fastboot mode. I booked appointment with Huawei recommended service centre. I wanted to give one last try and finally gave life to my phone. Here is the steps that took through.
Note: These steps works for downgrading to EMUI 8.1 as well
For downgrading, skip all the steps and go to step 10 after flashing custom recovery explained in Step 7
Getting the device ready:
1. Download EMUI 9.0 from here https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=CLT-L29C432&firmware_page=0//
2. Unzip the file UPDATE.APP from Update.zip
3. Using EMUI extraction tool extract following image files (see step 4 below) from UPDATE.APP. Download tool from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603873616
4. Extract, CUST.img, KERNEL.img, RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and System.img and copy these files in the same folder where you have ADB tools. Download ADB tools from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603873622 Unzip files. You will find a file cmd-here.exe. Run this file to get to open command prompt in your PC to the same folder where you have this ADB tools extracted.
5. Put your phone in to Fastboot mode (Switch off your phone, Press and hold volumn down button and connect USB with PC)
6. Flash the image files in the same order with fastboot commands as below,
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash system system.img
7. Now flash custom recovery. Download custom recovery from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603866808
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.2.1-0-charlotte-mod.img
8. Now restart your device with command below,
fastboot reboot
As soon issued this command, pull out of USB cable and keep holding volume up button until HUAWEI logo comes up disappear. It will now boot in to TWRP recovery.
9. Check file names in TWRP (Advanced > File Manager) are readable under folder sdcard. If file names are appearing as a junk, it means that you need to decrypt your data partition. Follow the steps below,
>> Wipe > Format data
>> Hit home button and Reboot > Recovery
>> Download and copy RemoveEncryption-P20Pro.zip file in to sdcard folder (Internal storage). This file can be downloaded from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603866806
>> Flash RemoveEncryption-P20Pro.zip
>> Hit home button and Reboot > Recovery
>> Wipe > Format data
>> Hit home button and Reboot > Recovery
NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLASH OFFICIAL EMUI 8.1 OR 9.0 (as you like). You have no root exploit available for 9.0 at the moment and also Google Pay will see the device as rooted because of unlocked bootloader.
10. Follow the steps below,
## Download the EMUI version that you need from the link https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=CLT-L29C432&firmware_page=0/
## Rename the file update_full_CLT-L29_hw_eu.zip in to update_all_hw.zip
## Create a folder ZIPS-HERE in the same folder where you have ADB tools (as explained in the section above) and put both update.zip and update_all_hw.zip in this ZIP-HERE folder.
## Download update_data_public.zip for EMUI 8.1 from this LINK and copy to the same ZIPS-HERE folder. You do not require update_data_public.zip for EMUI 9.0
## Download this nocheck.img file and copy it in to the same folder ZIPS-HERE. link here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603873636
## Issue following commands (you can copy and paste in the command window)
adb shell twrp decrypt
adb push ZIPS-HERE/update.zip /data/update/HWOTA/update.zip
adb push ZIPS-HERE/update_all_hw.zip /data/update/HWOTA/update_all_hw.zip
adb push ZIPS-HERE/update_data_public.zip /data/update/HWOTA/update_data_public.zip (this command line is not required for EMUI 8.1)
adb push ZIPS-HERE/nocheck.img /data/update/nocheck.img
adb shell "echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell dd if=/data/update/nocheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
adb reboot recovery
WAIT AND WATCH THE FLASHING HAPPENING VIA HUAWEI eRecovery. Once done, restart your phone. Your phone is back to life.
So far I have soft bricked several times in the past few days and brought back to life. As long as Bootloader (fastboot) partition is not disturbed, we are good to recover our device.
..
Thank you very useful when needed

I bricked my phone after flahing EMUI 9.0 and subsequently First Ever ROM build 10/12/2018 as well. My phone was booting in to stock eRecovery only. Ofcourse I was able to boot in to bootloader / fastboot mode. I booked appointment with Huawei recommended service centre. I wanted to give one last try and finally gave life to my phone. Here is the steps that took through.
Note: These steps works for downgrading to EMUI 8.1 as well.
Getting the device ready:
1. Download EMUI 9.0 from here https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=CLT-L29C432&firmware_page=0//
2. Unzip the file UPDATE.APP from Update.zip
3. Using EMUI extraction tool extract following image files (see step 4 below) from UPDATE.APP. Download tool from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603873616
4. Extract, CUST.img, KERNEL.img, RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and System.img and copy these files in the same folder where you have ADB tools. Download ADB tools from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603873622 Unzip files. You will find a file cmd-here.exe. Run this file to get to open command prompt in your PC to the same folder where you have this ADB tools extracted.
5. Put your phone in to Fastboot mode (Switch off your phone, Press and hold volumn down button and connect USB with PC)
6. Flash the image files in the same order with fastboot commands as below,
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash system system.img
7. Now flash custom recovery. Download custom recovery from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603866808
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.2.1-0-charlotte-mod.img
8. Now restart your device with command below,
fastboot reboot
As soon issued this command, pull out of USB cable and keep holding volume up button until HUAWEI logo comes up disappear. It will now boot in to TWRP recovery.
9. Check file names in TWRP (Advanced > File Manager) are readable under folder sdcard. If file names are appearing as a junk, it means that you need to decrypt your data partition. Follow the steps below,
>> Wipe > Format data
>> Hit home button and Reboot > Recovery
>> Download and copy RemoveEncryption-P20Pro.zip file in to sdcard folder (Internal storage). This file can be downloaded from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603866806
>> Flash RemoveEncryption-P20Pro.zip
>> Hit home button and Reboot > Recovery
>> Wipe > Format data
>> Hit home button and Reboot > Recovery
NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLASH OFFICIAL EMUI 8.1 OR 9.0 (as you like). You have no root exploit available for 9.0 at the moment and also Google Pay will see the device as rooted because of unlocked bootloader.
Follow the steps below,
## Download the EMUI version that you need from the link https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=CLT-L29C432&firmware_page=0/
## Rename the file update_full_CLT-L29_hw_eu.zip in to update_all_hw.zip
## Create a folder ZIPS-HERE in the same folder where you have ADB tools (as explained in the section above) and put both update.zip and update_all_hw.zip in this ZIP-HERE folder.
## Download update_data_public.zip from this link and copy to the same ZIPS-HERE folder
## Download this nocheck.img file and copy it in to the same folder ZIPS-HERE. link here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603873636
## Issue following commands (you can copy and paste in the command window)
adb shell twrp decrypt
adb push ZIPS-HERE/update.zip /data/update/HWOTA/update.zip
adb push ZIPS-HERE/update_all_hw.zip /data/update/HWOTA/update_all_hw.zip
adb push ZIPS-HERE/update_data_public.zip /data/update/HWOTA/update_data_public.zip
adb push ZIPS-HERE/nocheck.img /data/update/nocheck.img
adb shell "echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell dd if=/data/update/nocheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
adb reboot recovery
WAIT AND WATCH THE FLASHING HAPPENING VIA HUAWEI eRecovery. Once done, restart your phone. Your phone is back to life.
So far I have soft bricked several times in the past few days and brought back to life. As long as Bootloader (fastboot) partition is not disturbed, we are good to recover our device.

Hi all,
I think i have bricked my phone, i can boot on fastboot but not in TWRP... Any help ?
2015 16gb Nvidia Shield 7.2.3 Upgrade and Root Walkthrough, it worked on both of mine!!!
*NOTE: MUST BE UNLOCKED PRIOR!!!
I downloaded the following:
1. Android SDK Platform-Tools
https://developer.android.com/studio...platform-tools
2. 2015 16gb Developer OS image from the NVIDIA Developers site
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images
3. Canary Magisk Manager
https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...-edge-t3839337
I unpacked the Android SDK Platform-Tools and placed it on my C:\ in a folder named ADB. After that I unpacked the Dev OS image for the 2015 Shield TV into my ADB folder and also placed the Canary Magisk Manager .apk into the ADB folder as well.
First I installed the 7.2.3 update by doing the following:
Plug your mini usb to usb cable into your terminal port on your shield and the other end to your computers usb port. Then navigate to c:\ADB on your computer. Hold shift and right click in the folder and select open PowerShell Window here. Once in powershell type "adb reboot bootloader". Once in fastboot mode copy and paste the following:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 50M flash system system.img
fastboot -S 50M flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
It will hang at fastboot reboot, just hit enter and it will roboot.
Once booted install the Canary Magisk Manager by typing the following in powershell:
adb install app-release.apk
Note: ensure Magisk is installed on your internal storage(mine defaulted to the micro SD card), this must be changed after install. On your shield go to:
settings\apps\Magisk Manager\Storage Used
change to internal shared storage.
Now on your PC push the boot.img from your adb folder to your download folder so magisk can patch it. In adb type "adb push boot.img /storage/emulated/0/Download/"
Back to your shield and open magisk in:
settings\apps
Use your right stick on the controller to use as a mouse. Expand advanced settings and check "preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verify.
Then open the hamburger in the top left and click settings. Scroll down and change your Update Channel to Canary. Go back to the main Magisk screen via the hamburger in the top left. Select install where it says Magisk is not installed. Press "Select and Patch a File". I had to use the Nvidia Remote app on my phone to select my download folder and then the boot.img I pushed to the shield. It will now generate a "magisk_patched.img" in your download folder on your shield. When it's done select close and go pack to your pc.
In adb type "adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched.img"
Here's where the magic happens.
Type "adb reboot bootloader" wait for your shield to go into bootloader type:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img"
fastboot reboot
It will hang at fastboot reboot, just hit enter and it will roboot.
Once your shield reboots, open magisk in:
settings\apps
and BOOM... YOU HAVE ROOT!!!!
ENJOY!!!!

rooted my shield tv pro 500GB after the 7.2.3 upgrade with Magisk 19 using auto-start up tool kit.
Post a walkthrough for the 2015 16gb
No link for the auto-start up tool kit in the video and shows the pro model which has a different boot.img than the 16gb one. Have you tried this method on the 16gb 2015 model? If so can you post a walkthrough.

sorry i have no 16gb 2015 model, what i have is the 500gb 2017 but this script usually works even on an android phone. you just need to get the boot.img from the nvidia developers site or anyone who have the same model.
set adb="%~dp0\adb.exe"
set fastboot="%~dp0\fastboot.exe"
for /f %%i in ('%fastboot% devices') do set dev=%%i
adb remount
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot twrp-foster-*.img
pause
Dude... your being crazy vague. What you posted doesn't make any sense, someone's gonna brick their device listening to you. I posted this here to help the community. No one posted a walkthrough for my device so I took the chance of a brick and documented it to help. Go start another thread somewhere else!!!
