I'm trying to build TWRP for the P6S with no luck until now. Any help will be really appreciated. I have a P6S to experiment on it by the way
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] macpherson123:
soft brick, please help me!

Hi all, I am worried i have soft bricked my p6.

running stock 4.2.2, rooted using eroot with busybox installed.

i installed twrp using flashify (i realize this is not optimal, and should not have been attempted this way so please don't lecture me on this). have now attempted to boot into recovery, cannot get passed the splash screen no matter what i try. pc will not recognize the device whatsoever. i have a magnitude of experience with android, rooting, roms, and app development. this is a rookie mistake i know.... im freaking out.... any advice?

thanks :eek:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hi !

You should try to put stock recovery for JB back, and flash Stock Huawei JB Rom by external sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP method.

Also you have all info ( about how to flash stock recovery, or how to boot in bootloader ) on TWRP threads.

Good luck !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] scaglio:
Hi! I have a "small" problem: I am in B125 and have tried to install TWRP on my P6 in this thread, but then I flashed back the Stock recovery (the B118 one, because I couldn't find the B125). I thought everything was ok, but then I decided to install the official KitKat release. To do so, I wanted to update to B132 and then update to KK.

The problem is that, when I try to update to B132 (via local update, using the Update app), the phone starts vibrating on the Ascend logo and then the installation goes to FAIL. Also the VolumeUP+VolumeDOWN+Power method makes the phone vibrating.... the volume buttons don't work and I can only reboot the phone (pressing, not holding, the power button).

Do you have any solutions? At least I can keep the B125...

Thank you! :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] macpherson123:
Thanks for your response! As I was unable to access the phone via adb, to access boot loader I was sure the phone had had it. After a wee bit more searching online I did find out that the boot loader was not only accessible via 'adb reboot bootloader' buy also by holding the VOL- button and inserting the USB cable. Silly me. The stock recovery on the TWRP thread is not suitable for my phone, I managed to find a working one within the 'p6 toolbox'. Again, thanks for your response. I knew I'd sort it myself eventually, I was just panacking. I've been out of the game for 6 months or so. This was my first attempt at the p6, and my first worrying problem in many years on Android dev. Crisis averted.

Whenever i try to boot into fastboot mode it just gets stuck at the huawei logo. I tried with TWRP-Reboot-Fastboot, by cmd line adb reboot bootloader and by using advanced power menu-reboot-bootloader.

I need to flash stock recovery and there is no way to do so.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
When you are stuck in the Huawei logo you are in the fastboot mode and you can use fastboot commands.

Hi guys, i now this isnt the right threat, but no one has help me in the last 4 weeks with this, so i hope some one of you can, i have a P6, on B119, i want to update to kitkat, and then install paranoid 4.4.4....i have download the B511 update....i unlock the bootloader via ADB, then i copy the update.zip to dload and try to flash it but it doesn work, later i read that i need to be on B132....so my questions:

1) so i have to download B132, then flash it, then B511, then TWRP and root for PA?

If no:

2)if i install TWRP for JB B119, can i get into recovery and flash the rom and gapps?

Thanks a lot
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wavelabmusic:
Hi Joshua, have you tried to ooen the .zip file to see what include?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] polykoma:
ok i need to get the new 2.6.3.3.

usb debug on / device on

->plug usb->use adb to reboot in fastboot-> it reboots then->

->stuck at ascend logo ? not huawei logo....

-> try to flash 2.6.3.3. -> adb says waiting for device. nothing happens.

any tips ?!

thanks in advance !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
When you see the huawei ascend logo after the reboot and its stuck on it, that means that you are in fastboot mode now and adb commands will not work, instead you need the fastboot commands. Its only with them that you actually flash the twrp and reboot the phone in normal (recovery) mode.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Dmitry Budnikov:
It seems my problem has the next reason...

After flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 I detected that BusyBox came back to 1.17.1 version. Before it was 1.21.1. Of course, I updated the BB up to 1.21.1 again and I didn't see both green and red lights after that. The TWRP works normally (I see both green and red lights) if I don't update the BB. Maybe I am not correct but I have it.

Hi!

If you try to boot in CWM recovery after already installed TWRP , ( you can do this only by CWM installer apk ) - you will not be able to boot then in TWRP recovery !

I'll make an update.zip once flashed in TWRP Recovery will removed CWM Installer.apk and also CWM Recovery ( touch & non touch ) !

is it removing the stock recovery ? or just CWM ?

Reboot your phone, when the boot screen comes on, press Volume DOWN button repeatedly, the green led will go on, but keep pressing until you see the red led.

I think there might be a bug with flashing MIUI with TWRP.

A few days ago I tried flashing MIUI with TWRP, but I got stuck on the boot logo. I tried it a few times, with the same result.

What I first did was, I flashed the wipe.zip, then the MIUI zip file, which flashed successfully, but when it booted, it was still the stock rom, but wiped. I tried a few times, same result.

Then, I reinstalled the stock rom, booted into TWRP, mounted system, flashed ONLY MIUI again,and it flashed successfully, but then it got stuck on the MIUI bootlogo.

When I flashed MIUI with CWM, it booted into MIUI successfully.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hmm, there may be several reasons, first do not try to wipe data as mentioned on MIUI installation and also do not need to mount system !

TWRP has more active functions than CWM, and I think MIUI was adapted to work with CWM , but I need a MIUI rom to see what was modified ! I'm not a fan of this Rom , and also I can not installed cause I need about 4 hours for download !

If there is a mirror with a decent download, let me to know, and I will take a look around , thanks !

System partition cannot be accessed before being mounted, but no matter, and I want to think they omitted this :D !

hi sir

after installing this recovery , when the phone is off , by pressing volumes and power button phone goes to twrp recovery , so how can we flash the stock rom that is in dload folder ??

pressin volumes and power buttons take phone to stock recovery and the flashing process statrted automatically , but now there is a custom recovery ...

Cool. I downloaded this and running it on my computer, just to get an idea on how it works. There are basically three options install twrp, install stock recovery and exit. So if i just choose install, it would do the rest of the steps right ? No need for debugging mode or anything of that sort ?

Also could someone explain what advantages a recovery has besides installing custom rom ? And why is not possible to create a custom rom that can be installed using the local update method, the same way huawei firmwares are upgraded ?

the custom recovery have ability to backup & restore NAND partition, wipe data/system, cache, dalvik. and many features more.

Stock recovery has designed to be use with stock ROM/stock Firmware, stock ROM have different file structure than custom ROM. in case we need to flash custom ROM, obviously we need custom recovery.

Please copy CleanRom and Enable_USB on your external sdcard, go to TWRP recovery -> wipe -> advanced wipe -> check : dalvik cache, system, cache , custom storage & data -> swipe to wipe -> Install -> check Storage : External Storage -> ok -> navigate & select : CleanRom.zip -> Add More Zips -> navigate & select : Enable_USB.zip -> Swipe to Confirm Flash !
