[Sola] How to enter recovery mode? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

How can I enter on the recovery mode?
The only thing I installed on the phone was the root, everything is official, dunno If I have a unlocked bootloader or any recovery installed.
But I tried to turn the phone on with volume up and no luck, does not work.
I'm trying to flash the custom boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029
Already tried using the Flashtool (flashtool-0.9.8.0-windows.exe) and the fastboot command on cmd, no luck on both.
Any tips?
Thanks

You dont have recovery with stock rooted ROM mate, you must fastboot the boot image from the link in your post.
First place this boot.img in flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder and then:
CMD program. Run it and type:
cd \
cd flashtool
cd x10flasher_lib
NOW connect phone when you hold Vol UP and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
WARNING: To do this you need to have your bootloader unlocked.

Thank you very much for your answers...
So, I will start unlocking my Bootloader.
One small question, unlocking the bootloader and installing a new boot.img will change anything on the rom? It will create any bugs? Or it will faster and better?
Thanks.

Thank you very much. It worked. I unlocked the bootloader and installed the recovery
Thanks

RECOVERY IMG won't push to device

None of the existing tutorials or threads have accurate information on how to push the twrp recovery.
Following the very VAGUE instructions results in the fastboot cmd just listing the instructions instead of doing it's job.
Anyone have the correct commands to flash any working recovery or is there one?
Sure would like to flash a recovery of some sort. Anyone know how? Posting the existing methods is fail since they fail.
completely incorrect, followed instrucions precisely, albeit sounds like he skipped a hundred steps, so it's no wonder this method fails

anyone else actually flash a recovery?
This is what I did:
First I renamed the recovery to avoid typos to TWRP.img
Second I made sure Fastboot.exe and the twrp.img file were in the same directory as the adb files.
Third, I booted my phone to the hboot and selected fastboot.
Fourth, I opened a command prompt in that directory and typed: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Then hit enter and bam!!! You have a custom recovery. Make sure you do a nand backup before you play with your phone.

The link you posted is step by step. Is there any particular question you have that wasn't covered in the post? Not trying to be a ****, I just need to know exactly where you need help. And yes, I have s-off, recovery, and root access.
I figured it out - it's not clear that you have to acutally TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND RESTART IN FASTBOOT MODE.
I found another thread that was clear. Now...
How do I boot into TWRP? lol jesus.
Make sure fastboot is off in settings>>>power, then turn phone off and power back on holding power and volume down.

What directory do I put fastboot.exe and recovery.img in?
Any. But in order for the commands from this thread to work it should be in the same as your fastboot command. Usually /androidsdk/tools or possibly /platform-tools. Which ever has the fastboot, put it there.
Otherwise make sure you declare the path in the fastboot execution command.
Thanks got it. SO how do you boot into twrp, without booting to bootloader first?

[Q] how to boot into recovery?

hi,
I can not boot into recovery. I can only boot into fastboot, can flash twrp-1.0.3 or 1.1.1 or cwm-1.0.4.1,but when I choose recovery from fastboot mode, I just reboot and stuck at splash screen and reboot after about 10s and looping.
BTW, I have hboot 1.5 and s-on, and accepted 2.08 OTA, and followed the HTC method to unlock the bootloader.
Any idea? thanks in advance!

when you're at the splash screen and then it reboots .. usually means there is an issue with the kernel/recovery.
have you tried fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recover.img ? with the hboot 1.5, this method is preferred as it will grant the recovery write access to the kernel.
if you still have your heart set on loading the custom recovery thru booting normal recovery mode, have you tried using the PG86IMG.zip files to flash the recovery.img?
hope that helps!

Stuck in bootloop and need help fast

Ok so
Rooted
S-off
hboot 1.12.2222
was running Mean-rom 4.4
Then tried to install the new apk fix for ringtones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900629
Phone rebooted then then continues to be stuck in boot loop.
What I have tried:
Factory reset in bootloader
clear storage in bootloader
reinstall TWRP to get in recovery as if I choose recover in bootloader it just boot loops.
Tried to install the RUU but it can not connect during boot loops and errors out.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Try fastboot wipe recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, if recovery loops back to bootloader then it's corrupt. Make sure you flash the latest twrp

All I see in fastboot option on bootloader is
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
powerdown
am I missing something?
Those are fastboot commands, you use the terminal
fastboot wipe recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should be able to boot into recovery afterwards
What terminal? I'm a bit lost here
Do you have adb tools or Android SDK?
C:\android-sdk-windows
Open cmd prompt by opening SDK folder and then hold shift and right click, it will say open cmd prompt or something similar I don't recall if adb is in separate folder but I don't think so. From there you can plug in the phone in fastboot and type fastboot devices, it will tell you if you are connected or not. Download twrp and place it in the same folder. Then you can use the commands I listed earlier

Now that I am in fasboot usb on the bootloader the RUU can connect to phone via USB.
If I just flashed that and started all over would that work and do I need to unroot and relock before doing the RUU?
Still not having any luck on terminal so far.
Sorry I was busy arguing with gf, it seems you aren't where you need to be if fastboot isn't recognized, I haven't had access to my own pc in quite a while so I'm having trouble remembering if there is another directory

got fastboot working but get this with your first command
That's because I haven't used wipe in fastboot in quite a while, I'm sure I'm just confused on wipe and erase but you shouldn't need it, the first command should be fastboot erase recovery but like I said you shouldn't really have to, it's just like formatting before flashing the recovery, just fastboot flash recovery openrecovery.img or what ever the name is for the twrp file
Ran
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7356 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.112s]

Thanks recovery just loops, could never get in.
Ok this is where I am at (see OP)
We tried flashing TWRP and original recovery via ADB
We tried running RUU
I'm still stuck in a boot loop....
I am having a similar problem stuck in bootloader. I relocked to go to the new firmware and now am stuck in the bootloader. I can access adb but can't access recovery. I am now relocked. Can I unlock again with a fastboot command?
If you unlocked manually, HTC sends the unlock code code just use fastboot to flash, if you used regawmod, just run it again. I don't know if regawmod will recognize the phone in boot loader though

[HELP][CRITICAL] stuck with no recovery, no root and locked bootloader on Sultan CM13

Hello Guys,
I was trying to install OxygenOS 3.1.0 when I was on Sultanxda's CM13 but instead bricked the device.
What I did:-
1. Rebooted to TWRP and flashed stock OOS recovery and then clicked reboot into recovery.
2. Instead of rebooting in recovery my phone got stuck at the OnePlus logo.
3. I booted into fastboot to flash twrp.img but it says 'writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)'
4. I repeated the same with stock recovery but no success and was not even able to boot to CM13 now.
Hence I was stuck on the OnePlus logo without any booting ROM or recovery and a locked bootloader (according to fastboot)
What I have already tried but failed:-
1. Tried to root with kingroot etc. (Before bricking)
2. Tried to unlock bootloader but failed because it has no recovery.
3. Tried to flash stock OOS 2.1.3-x
4. For now I used fastboot continue to boot back into CM13
Please help, I'm now stuck with cm13 without root and without any recovery installed.
P.S. I'm not even sure that if I clicked reboot then the phone will boot.
Thanks.
Okay, calm down.
Go to developer options and see if "OEM Unlocking" is enabled. If not, enable it.
Cool. Now enable USB Debugging, connect the phone to PC, open CMD and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Download TWRP from the official website, rename it to recovery.img and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you have a recovery and an unlocked bootloader. Profit?
I hope this helps.

But if you read my post then you'll understand that due to absence of a recovery I can't unlock the bootloader and hence cannot flash twrp

You don't need recovery to unlock bootloader, you need fastboot.

But in OnePlus devices the phone asks a confirmation through recovery recovery to wipe data and unlock

Any news with solution?

stuck at boot - but why

hi there,
i have got a redmi note 3 pro that keeps stuck in bootloop.
Tried:
- boot to fastboot
- fired up miflash
- rebooted phone to edl
-miflash recognized phone
- flashed "kenzo" fastboot rom (tried global stable + kenzo_global_images_V7.1.8.0.LHOMICL_20160129.0000.14_5.1_global + chinese stable)
phone remains stuck in bootloop after restart.
Is there something I am missing? Please help me out.
(I guess bootloader is locked, not my phone)
when in fastboot mode, check the state of your device (make sure you have fastboot installed):
-connect device to pc
-open cmd
-type "fastboot oem device-info"
once you know the bootloader is unlocked, open miflash tool and flash the stock ROM. I don't see you need to go to EDL mode. Miflash is for fastboot mode!
how did you not knowing the condition of your bootloader? you should know it in the first place before you do such things.
oh, and make sure the directory of your rom image doesn't have spaces in it (example: C:/Users/Ivan Kurnia/...) (be safe, move it to like C:/Desktop) otherwise it will only take 1 second to flash the rom (which flashing didn't happen)
Thank you for your ideas, I still dont know if bootloader is locked or not, because it is not my phone, I was just asked to help.
However I managed to flash TWRP, now everything is good.
