  • Hold the shift key and right-click on any empty space inside the ADB folder.
  • A new window will open and you should choose “open a command prompt window”.
  • On the command prompt window that is opened, type the following code: adb reboot booloader. The phone will boot into bootloader mode.
  • Type this command line: fastboot flash recovery recovery.im
  • It will flash the TWRP Recovery on Huawei Y6.
  • Once it is flashed type this command: fastboot reboot
  • When the phone begins to reboot use the key combination to boot into recovery.

It is recommended to boot into the recovery during the first-time boot so the stock recovery doesn’t wipe over the custom recovery you just flashed. Once you boot into TWRP recovery you can boot back to normal mode.

    Hi,i try it but it didn’t work! This came instead of: “PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
    target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
    sending ‘recovery’ (16544 KB)…
    OKAY [ 0.641s]
    writing ‘recovery’…
    FAILED (remote: partition table doesn’t exist)
    finished. total time: 0.672s”

    So what can i do?
    regards Karl
