[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] mike0921:
And after backing up in TRWP, I just checked the SD card's contents for the backup and saw the SuperSU zip file neatly placed on it as well. Just to be clear!??! :cowboy:

Okay, I somehow screwed this up I think. I was a little distracted by a friend dropping by. After telling her to give me a minute, I looked back at the phone after following Step 6:

Step 6: Confirm phone goes to FASTBOOT & RESCUE mode.

a) fastboot devices (to make sure your device is recognized)

b) fastboot boot TWRP.img (boots TWRP.img from Step 3)

c) The phone will boot into TWRP. Always select Keep Read Only from the first screen every time you go into TWRP.

Peek around a bit if you want to, then use TWRP to backup your stock recovery to external micro SD.

d) Reboot bootloader from inside TWRP to flash this custom recovery image (no adb command this time, you are rebooting to the bootloader from TWRP, you will see this option under "reboot" in TWRP).

e) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (now flashes TWRP recovery to the phone)

I then went to Step 7:

Step 7: After phone reboots, get into TWRP recovery repeating Step 6, a and b or hold the power button and volume up button from power-off state, then release when you see Huawei logo.

But now, the phone isn't being recognized again. And when I shut it off, hold Volume Up and Power buttons, I get a screen that asks if I want to: Reboot system now; Wipe data/factory reset; Wipe cache partition. Not the Recovery Screen with the options I got used to seeing in little green characters.

I tried the Reboot system now option and I'm back into the Huawei EMUI with everything appearing unchanged. Powered off, did the Vol Up + Power buttons and am back with the screen offering the three options I mentioned above. And the phone not being recognized after the "Devices" command.

Can you clarify my confusion? What am I doing wrong? Or not doing?

Thanks.
