Hi guys,
I would really appreciate any help getting out of this pickle (my first time trying to install a ROM).
Here's the situation:
- Running a Huawei P6-C00 Chinese phone
- Was interested in trying a custom ROM (e.g. CleanRom by @surdu_petru) in order to enable Google Apps
- Updated normally to B120 CN as instructed
- Rooted (using Root Wizard)
- Installed customer recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3)
- Started flash process including advanced wipe in TWRP... wiped system, cache, davlik, etc... :crying:
- Realized that I didn't have the ROM .zip copied to the phone yet
Currently, I'm able to boot into TWRP but cannot connect using adb for sideload (TWRP just says starting sideload but never connects). What do you guys recommend? I don't have a backup of any working ROM or the stock image.
Is there a way to initiate a "standard" restore since I wiped all the caches? ...
Are there some tricks to getting ADB running so I can try to sideload the ROM again? ...
P6-C00 does not have an SD card, but is it possible to load the ROM onto a USB and read it from TWRP?
Thanks for any help!
Did u try connecting to adb?

Hi Taaeem,
Thanks for the hint. I read some posts on fastboot and tried the following, but could not get into fastboot mode.
Methods I tried
- Power off phone and then power on while holding vol-down button
- Select Reboot -> System option from TWRP, while holding volume down
- Select Reboot -> Bootloader option from TWRP
From what I understand, fastboot mode should be run from the /boot partition, which I didn't wipe. So any ideas how I can get into fastboot mode?
Thanks again!
Okay, I confirmed that I have at least some kind of fastboot access because I tried "fastboot reboot-bootloader" from command prompt on my PC, and it rebooted the phone (but the phone stayed on boot logo).
- Next time I get fastboot, should I run "fastboot flash [partition] [ROM-file.zip]"?
- If so, what partition should I specify? I'm confused about where this command will send the ROM file, and if so how do I find it from TWRP later on in order to install it?
Thank you!
One more update:
- Even though I'm stuck at boot logo when I try to enter fastboot mode, it looks like there is a somewhat working fastboot connection. I tried running "fastboot flash [partition] ROM.zip" but it fails after 16s ("remote: flash write failure" or "remote: partition does not exist"). I tried flashing to cache / data / system
Should I try @N!ELS huawei p6 suggestion of accessing by Linux? (I don't have one nearby) or am I using fastboot wrong?
Thanks!!
Also:
- I noticed that when I boot into TWRP the device shows as "..." in my system tray USB devices list.
- When I try to boot into fastboot mode, the device shows as "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" (but phone is still stuck on boot logo)
- However I'm still not able to connect using ADB .. shows "error: device not found" in all cases)
- Finally, after powering off the phone does show the stock charging animation, which gives me hope that this can still be saved :crying:

fastboot mode on the P6 doesn't have any kind of ui for fastboot, so it stays on the boot logo, fastboot should work fine.
You could always find an USB OTG cable and connect a FAT32 partitioned mem stick with the .zip on it, TWRP allows flashing from USB memory as far as I know
You are definetely not out of hope, but im not sure about the compability of P6-U06 roms with the C00 variant.

Obviously you can't flash the whole zip file to every partition, infact you can't flash a .zip at all, atleast not in fastboot mode, .img extension is used. So don't try flashing the rom manually via fastboot, since you have a high risk of actually bricking the device, if not in the right hands.
Also when booted into TWRP, try "adb devices" in the cmd see if anything shows up.

Okay that's good when you are stuck at the logo and you can see your device at your PC you are in fastboot mode, from here you can work with fastboot commands NOT with ADB that will not work. Anyway isn't there a option in TWRP where you can mount your device to USB when that work you can just copy the files on your phone without to go with fastboot. When that don't work you must try to extract the .zip from the ROM you want to install and flash every image with fastboot I think that should work.

Okay so now I'm a bit paranoid about hard-bricking the device, and would rather not try my luck on a ROM that isn't approved for the P6-C00, haha...
At this point I just want to get a working OS installed (restore to the default for P6-C00 phone, even), and then maybe try to safely enable Google Apps. Any suggestions on how I can get this restored?
- I think the device came with a USB cable that is OTG.
- Seems like fastboot is also working, even though "fastboot getvar xxx" returns nothing useful
- ADB does not work while booted into TWRP (can't run shell, sideload, or list devices)

Download this rom for example https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=bhDlIAc5AqKh4RAB2IdatPdEfYVI9FH/Zky/UTGcH3M=
Extract the .z7 and run the flash_all.bat, this scripts flashes the rom via fastboot and you should get your device back up and running again. And from there you can update to a newer firmware version without problems.
If the bat doesn't work try this:
boot to fastboot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik cache in twrp

Thanks, tauio111! That worked and I now have a working phone again :victory:
I'm going to be a bit more careful about how to enable Google Apps... this is too much stress during the workweek haha.
Later on what do you think my best option would be?
- Wait for a confirmed easy to install ROM for P6-C00 that supports Google Apps
- Some other way to enable Google Apps with the standard firmware, since I am rooted?
Thanks :laugh:

Heya Tauio111, I'm having the same problem as onetree and I've been frying my mind over this for the past 4 days before I came across your solution. I found that your link is no longer working, may I ask what that ROM is and where else I may find it? Thanks!

A way that may help (i've done it with boot&recovery images). Using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 , might give you the *.img files necesary for flashing the stock rom through fast boot. All you need is to follow the instructions on the tool and have a stock rom (update.app file type), and some knowledge on how to use the fastboot.
Hi Guys,
I kinda did the same thing here.
I accidently wiped my system with TWRP v2.6.3.7
I also have a huawei ascend p6 u06
I didn't realize i never copied a rom to my device so i don't know how to install.
I can't seem to be able to use adb or fastboot and my device is not picked up by windows (8.1), it just says removable disk in my computer.
and under device manager it says P6-U06 under unknown devices.
I have tried to install a bunch of different drivers to attempt something but no luck.
Please help me.

If you are able to boot into fastboot, search the latest TWRP and flash it via adb. Connect your device while in fastboot mode and see if it recognize it.
If it does put the recovery file you have downloaded on your desktop and open a command window, press shift and right click at the same time and click on Open command window here.
Type adb devices, if you see a serial number go on and type adb reboot bootloader, then type fastboot flash recovery [ the name of the recovery file you have just downloaded ]
You can do this just by powering on your phone, no need to be already in fastboot mode, just follow the commands.
Press shift and right click : open command window here : adb devices : adb reboot bootloader : fastboot flash recovery [ the name of the recovery file you have just downloaded, do not forget the .img extension ]
fastboot reboot
Once you have a working TWRP you can flash your corresponding backup and go back to stock. The backup will be flashed from TWRP, search for instructions.

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 and click on the upper right Get TWRP for your device.
Choose your device recovery and download the adb version. That is the .img
Once you have downloaded TWRP put it on your desktop.
Connect your device with your laptop/pc with the unknown sources checked also the usb debugging checked.
Move your mouse over a free space on your desktop, click once just to be sure there is no app or file clicked.
Then press shift and keep it pressed while you right click your mouse.
Press open command window here
in that command window type : adb devices
if you see a serial number type : adb reboot bootloader
then type : fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
fastboot reboot
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8 : This is an example, you will write the name of your recovery but it should be pretty much the same.
Good luck.
Are you familiar with
adb/fastboot commands?

You say "pushing a ROM" with what?
You don't push a ROM with TWRP you just flash it.
Or are you talking about pushing the ROM with fastboot?
If you have TWRP than download a stock backup and flash it.
Take a long look at my profile man and if you look just right you will see I've done and asked some stupid things in my travels here on XDA.I can tell you I remember every phone and ridiculous thing I've done to each of them,I still feel crunchy when I think of the mistakes.
We really need more info about the full process.please I'm not trying to offend you and I'm trying to help

If you can't remember what you did, or at least even try to list in detail the steps you did as best you can remember; it makes it very hard for anyone to help.
Saying you followed some tutorials on an entire website (3 websites actually) doesn't tell us jack, and isn't any better than telling us nothing.
Its not even clear the current condition of the phone. Your OP says TWRP doesn't work, then a later post says you are trying things with TWRP, so presumably you have TWRP. But since you never stated that, we can only guess.
What happens when you try to adb push or sideload? What error messages, does it make the phone reboot, stuck on boot screen, etc?
TWRP working? Bootloader is unlocked? If yes to both of those, you should be able to just adb push a ROM, or put one on removable SD with a card reader attached to your computer. Than flash the ROM in TWRP.

Your device is M8 dual SIM .. mm-su-boot is for M8 single SIM, won't work on your device.
Install custom ROM with support for Dual SIM or restore your stock ROM backup
please can you provide any link of the rom for dual sim addition

I recently decided to root and install a custom rom on my old stock sprint HTC one m8. I unlocked the boot loader via HTC Dev website. I then flashed the TWRP recovery. Since doing the latter step, it's been booting into fast boot all the time! Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your phone?

You only flashed TWRP onto the phone? Or did you root also?
Not nearly enough info to provide the proper help.
Please do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
What version TWRP?
What version SuperSU did you flash (if you got that far)?
I have a Redmi note 5 pro, I was using a custom rom, but was experiencing some bugs so I decided to put another ROM in it, I already did this lots and lots of times and I always followed this procedure:
Reboot into recovery(TWRP), Transfer the ROM, GAPPS and MAGISK to the phone > wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and System. > Install ROM, GAPPS > WIPE DATA > FLASH MAGISK > WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE > DONE.
Never had a problem, but this time idiot me was doing this at 5am, dying to go to sleep, and I started by wiping everything, without moving the files to the phone beforehand.
Well, apparently once you wipe the system the phone internal storage doesn't show up in the computer anymore, I didn't know that. I always thought that since TWRP was MTP compatible, it would always be a thing, welp.
I then thought of 2 solutions to this: I remember ADB sideload was a thing, and I also could buy a memory card, put the files there, and just load into the phone, bam.
Since it was 5am the memory card would have to wait, and I couldn't get ADB sideload to work, it would't recognize my device for some reason.
I then remembered fastboot existed, and weirdly enough my phone was recognized as a fastboot device on my pc. So I went, downloaded the correct fastboot rom from xiaomi website and tried flashing it using a official tool that they provide, and then tried again using a third party tool that also does something similar.
I was getting a few errors, and then in one of my restarts the phone just stopped showing stuff. It would still turn on, but it's just a black screen, no icons, no recovery, no fastboot, nothing. The battery icon when I put the charge in is the only thing that still shows up.
I already know the answer to this, but hope is the last thing to die, so, is it irreparably ****ed up ? Is there anything I can do? Is it even worth it sending it to repair services? (It wouldn't be Xiaomi, they don't have stores here in my country)
EDL
i´m pretty sure that at least EDL Method works, many tutorials on youtube. Search for "redmi note 5 edl method"
Try to find something about edl mode as mentioned above. It might be your last chance to revive this phone, but you need to take the back cover to be able to find the edl pins and short them. There are many guides on the internet as well as on youtube. But before you try to do that, first try to enter the fastboot mode somehow, you may succeed, so tinker with it for couple of minutes.
As you are able to boot it into Fastboot mode,
1. boot into fastboot mode
2. boot into recovery using "fastboot boot twrp-name.img"
You should be able to see your device in PC after booting in TWRP
3. format data.
(If you are not able to see Internal storage of your RN5 in PC then,
1.boot in fastboot from twrp.
2. boot in twrp again using command above)
4. then copy your files and flash them.
5. wipe cache/dalvik
6. reboot

I can't boot into fastboot. Right now my only chance seem to be EDL mode, I'll give it a try as soon as I can.

Hello. I decided today to clean install the Pixel Experience 10 rom. I previously had a Pixel Experience 9.0 Pie. I did the following:
1. Booted into TWRP and selected Format Data
2. Everything is deleted, so it's time to flash a new rom. The guide says to go Advanced/ADB sideload and enter a command.
3. Command is not working. My phone is connected to the computer but it's not recognized. I can't even manually transfer it to the phone so i can install it via TWRP.
So i enter fastboot. Phone is recognized. When i type fastboot devices i get this:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
42abad9b fastboot
If i try to flash again a TWRP, my phone disconnects and it asks to reboot the phone by pressing a volume button. And i am stuck here. Nothing i can do. Any suggestions? I haven't done anything unusual. I am truly desperate. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi !
Did you bypass ARB with dummy.img before you flashed TWRP?
Do you use win 10, if you are change usb or use usb hub. If that doesn't help use win 7.
follow the link for details

Good luck and stay safe.

I already had TWRP from long ago. And i didn't even try to flash a new ROM. I just formatted Data. I have the TWRP version 3.3.1-0. But as i said, PC does not recognize phone in TWRP and i can't adb sideload any ROM because of it.

Go back to previous version of TWRP(latest is buggy) or use OrangeFox recovery.
But still if you lose custom recovery you need again start over and bypass ARB.
And check if your bootloader is still unlock.

I can't go to a previous version of TWRP. I can't flash any recovery via fastboot because of the problem i said at the first post. I somehow managed to boot into some previous versions of TWRP via a tool called TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE, but nothing changed. I had the same exact problems.
How will i check in my current status if bootloader is still unlocked?

Use this and post the result...
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
So you managed to get TWRP via TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE, ... when you are in TWRP flash TWRP again via TWRP or better flash OrangeFox Recovery(use SD CARD or adb push - for more info google it for adb commands), than reboot it directly into recovery again by TWRP option reboot to recovery... and now you can flash your ROM.
So make it simple
1st time you'll boot in TWRP by TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE,
than you'll flash recovery via TWRP and make it permanent,
Than you'll directly reboot to recovery via TWRP,
now you can wipe and flash your ROM.
Happy ending :highfive:
The problem was that i couldn't use ADB sideload because the phone wasn't recognized by the computer. And i fixed it in a very weird way, by connecting the phone to the PC monitor's USB hub and that way the phone was discovered by the computer. So i fastbootted the latest TWRP and then easily transferred the ROM i wanted to flash via TWRP. It's crazy that i spent all day just to connect the phone to a USB hub so it could work...

Hello,
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I've been using a Note 8 Pro with zero issues until one week ago when I accidentally dropped the phone in the water.
After a few seconds submerged the display turned off and I felt an intense heat coming from the zone of the battery.
Having no chance to recover the phone (tried with Isopropyl Alcohol too) I decided to open it and manually dry/clean each component, having seen the situation inside gave me the phone is dead but I still want to recover some pictures/data from it.
Before opening the open Minitool was not detecting any device on my Windows Laptop, after cleaning each component Minitool is instead detecting the phone via USB, but I still can't extract any data because the "Usb debugging" option is not tuned on (and no the device is not rooted).
Is there any option to extract data from the phone? There's a way to turn on USB Debugging via ADB on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks,
Andrea.
how about trying your luck with a service ? most of the time they do have access to special programs, which have a better functionality than adb.
Thanks for the hint, but I am not happy with the idea of someone playing with my data
1. Try reboot phone to recovery
2. Connect it to your computer (download Platform-tools)
3. In the folder with Platform-tools open cmd
4. In cmd - adb shell
5. cd storage/emulated/0
6. ls
7. Now, using the commands, drag files from your phone to your PC
Thanks for your hint.
No luck so far, I think because the phone is not in recovery mode.
I can hear the phone starting up several times (hear the jingle) so I think it's in a reboot loop and I don't know how to boot it into recovery mode wo a working display (tried with power/volume up combination with no luck).
From the windows taskbar I can see that the phone is recognized for a few seconds before it restarts.
EDIT: trying to switch the phone on with the combination "power/volume down" brings to a kind of stable state and I can now see the phone in the windows taskbar recognized as a generic "android device". Still no luck when trying to access the phone as there's no device in windows and no device obtained through "adb devices" command.
EDIT1: I think that the phone is in "FASTBOOT" mode. If I type "fastboot devices" I can see it detected but still can't access it.
Any idea? Should I give up?
If it's popping up and down you need something to keep track.
You can try my UsbLog.exe (in the sig), it just sits there and shows what devices appear (if they have a driver) and disappear.
Try these to see if anything is working:
Code:
C:\>fastboot devices
C:\>fastboot getvar all
C:\>fastboot oem device-info
Yes it's popping up and down when it's booted in recovery mode whilst is stably connected when in fastboot mode but in this case I can't access the internal memory of the device.
I didn't get the purpose of logging the devices connecting to the USB as I can see the device connected for a while and correctly recognized as Redmi Note 8 pro but as it keeps popping out windows have no time to show it's folder.
As for the code you wrote: i will try asap but already tried with "fastboot devices" and I get the phone correctly listed but still can't access its memory as told.

After rebooting the phone in fastboot mode I can see it recognized as a generic android device from windows (still can't access the storage folder of the device).
fastboot devices----> I get the device listed with a series of numbers/letters
fastboot getvar all---> I get a list of information on token/token version/partition type and size/baseband/bootloader etc.
fastboot oem device-info----> FAILED (remote: unknown command)
So I think it's clear that the device is in Fastboot mode and instead is in a boot loop when started in revocery mode.
Is there a way to extract data from fastboot mode?
Thanks,
Andrea.
If you put a custom recovery on it in the first place you can try reflashing recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot doesn't allow you to read anything.
oem device-info is obviously an oem command that might not be on any device.
You've got a Mediatek processor. That has some low level equivalent to Qualcomm EDL, but I have no experience with that.
If you can get there you can download the user data partition, but it's probably encrypted. Also no experience with that.
The easiest is if you can get the system to mount/decrypt the partition.
You've tried the normal system too?
Is this A/B? Have you tried changing slots?
How much time does it stay up in recovery? Do you have ADB? Maybe try:
Code:
# stop recovery
Does that prevent it from looping?
So I should try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP for example?
What you mean with "normal system too"?
Changing slots you mean changing usb port?
It stays in recovery less than one second so I can't give any command via ADB.
EDIT: cant' flash any custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.
If I Try to unlock the bootloader via MiUnlock I get a warning saying that all data will be erased.
Any idea on how to unlock the bootloader wo wiping all the data?

My bootloader is unlocked!
Thank you very much.
Now I am going to try to flash a custom recovery mode via fastboot in order to access the internal memory of the phone.
EDIT: I've just flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-begonia.img but still can't boot into recovery mode.
Any hint on how to extract data from the system now?
You really want to boot the normal system because that's the best way to get decrypted data.
I realized that you don't have ADB enabled there.
You should look at B. Kerler's https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/
If you can pull the boot image off your device then I might be able to fix it so that you have ADB.
You'd have to flash it back in fastboot or mtkclient.
You can also pull a copy of userdata off the device with mtkclient.
As far as booting into recovery, there's a way.
Here's how, if you don't have A/B (that is you flashed TWRP into recovery and not recovery_a or recovery_b)
then you can fastboot flash a special file into the misc partition and it wil boot into recovery next reboot.
To return things to normal you have to flash the empty file to the misc partition.
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash misc misc-rec.img
C:\>fastboot reboot
Only do this if you don't have partitions that end in _a or _b
I really don't know if I have partitions A and B as you mentioned and I think there's no way to check actually.
I confirm I don't have "USB Debugging" active on the phone.
So if I understand correctly I should do the following:
- Flash misc-reg.img via Fastboot
- Boot into recovery just rebooting the system after flashing the above file;
- use MTKclient to dump userdata or boot image to enable ADB on (I will need help with mtkclient I suppose).
Is it correct?
EDIT: flashed TWRP first and misc-rec then rebooted via Fastboot/Reboot but nothing happens.

1/Yeah it's official. You "flashed correct TWRP." Downgrade to Miui Android 9 (_9 in it's name) to boot into that TWRP and lose your data.
2/In unlock bootloader video above, search other video in his channel playlist and find TWRP video suitable for your Miui version.

Can't find the right video, can you kindly send me a link (I am on the latest Miui version and I am in Europe)?
In all the videos I've seen on his page he is using the device to install TWRP etc.
I think I just need the correct TWRP version for my MIUI release and then I'll flash TWRP and misc-reg.img. Is it right?
