hi all, I am a beginner in android.
I was trying to flash a custom kernel and rom for my Mini pro by following the tutorial thread. I rooted my Mini pro and unlock the bootloader. Busybox and cwm-auto installer were also installed.
However, when I tried to install kernel by fastboot and result said the device is not rooted. I tried again with flashtool but result was just the same. I had already rooted my device several times and therefore I dont understand where the problem is.
Please help. Thanks for your answers first:victory:
Did you place your phone in fastboot mode(blue LED)?
Which way did you unlock your bootloader?
Rooting can't affect the kernel installation at all. Doesn't matter if you are rooted or not, it should work anyways.
For use flashtools to update kernel you must open your boot loader and flash it easy, kernel update no need to root your device. Because you try update in fastboot or flash mood .
I think your problem is other things example boot loader not opened or ...

my problem is that I cannot get into flash mode with flashtool (USB debugging problems) and I have android v2.3.4 & Kernel 2.6.32.9, root acces, but bootloader is not unlocked.
from what I read I need stock firmware in order to install CMW. so what other possibilities do I have apart from flashtool?
EDIT: sorry wrong forum, move to general please. thanks!
edit²: solved, flashtool works now
May be you can try THIS to install CMW. But i'm not you will be able to flash roms with it without unlocking bootloader. Try at your own risk. I could install CMW on my ST15i but i needed it only to apply zipped UOT themes and it worked.
Hello!
I own a XPeria Ray now and already managed to Root and unlock Bootloader.
I installed X-Parts from Google play.
I entered Recovery and did clean Data/Cache/System. I installed OptiMax 3.0 Rom.
But now my Recovery is gone?!?
In XParts it says its only in System, so it sure is gone. But how can I get a permanent Recovery like on my old HTC Evo3D?
I need some Security if Flashing goes wrong.
Please Help!!
And I'm Sorry, i did search in the Forums but couldn't find a Solution for this.

Flash any custom kernel for Ray in your development forum. The custom kernel has cwm integrated in the ramdisk (permanent), and will not be removed unless you flash a new kernel. Download the kernel, and flash it either with Flashtool ot fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
Try flykernel for stock ics. It is very good.:victory:

For locked bootloader you must install cwm again when you do a full wipe.
If you want permanent recovery, then unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel.

He has already specified that he unlocked the bootloader...
Try installing a custom kernel
Because the CWM (which is installed with xParts on unlocked bootloader) is not in the kernel so if something happens to your System partition, CWM will be gone.
You can install it by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom kernel such as mesa. MESA 3.3 will give you dual recoveries (CWM & TWRP).

Can I install a custom ROM on a device with unlocked bootloader
I use an application for work which checks for rooted roms and one of the checks is if bootloader is locked.
I cant unroot as ALL (including rootcloak plus) has proved to be unsuccessful with the application

Unlocking is not the same as rooting and vice versa. If your bootloader is unlocked use flash tool (with drivers installed for your device) to flash a custom kernel to your phone. Most kernels add root access. (Check by using a root check app after flashing). With a custom kernel installed, then flash a custom rom via the recovery menu, most likely CWM.

Fully understand bootloader and rooting. My point is that the application I need to use will check if device has unlocked boot loader
Other thing it checks for is
1) SU
2) number of superuser apps
3) bootloader status
4) busybox files
5) root status
6) if RUM is custom ROM by checking signature
7) build.prop entries to determine if its custom ROM (e.g. releasekeys and testkeys)

Have you even installed a custom kernel or did you root the phone? If not, root it or simply flash a custom kernel (which automatically roots the device)
Hello guys,
I am stucked in very vizar situation. Actually i have my phone with no recovery installed & locked bootloader. But good thing is that i have working ROM and it is also rooted.
I want to install new Oxygen OS update but whenever i tried to unlock bootloader , its just failing as there is not recovery installed on my phone.
I there any way to get out of this problem... pls help
delete.
I'm not as knowledgeable as the devs here, but you could try unrooting and then unlocking the bootloader?
Unrooting has nothing to do with it. Have you tried this?

Hello. I am a newbie in regards with the rooting.
I have never successfully rooted any of my devices before.
Details:
*I have a Sony XPERIA M4 Aqua Model E2353 With Bootloader Unlocked.
*I am currently using a Windows 10 ASUS Laptop (I have no access to Win7 laptops)
I have successfully made (idk how I even did it, I just followed some forum here and installed Flashtool) made my phone boot in recovery mode to TWRP but after connecting it to the laptop, my laptop cant detect my phone so I transfered the zip SUPERSU in my phone and after installing it in recovery mode my phone literally went **** and stucked in bootloop for 3+ hours.
Eventually with some help. I installed ftf. stock rom of my Sony M4 E2353 and flashed it with the flashtool and successfully got my phone back--BUT IN Stock Rom only and ofc UNROOTED.
It's May 2020 now and I need the best ROM to flash in my Sony and I also desperately need help for ROOTING my E2353, Idk how to do the TWRP thing tbh, it just made a newbie like me bleed in my brain --but is there someone who could help me in rooting my phone first? (
Thank you so much.

Install magisk app from website then get your stock boot img and patch it using magisk then go to twrp and click on install then change to flash boot img (find it after clicking install) and flash the patched boot img as a boot image and you will be rooted, if you still have problem I will reply you
