I'm attempting to upgrade from 4.0.3 5a (Recovery 3e)
1. Root successfully done with AiO Tool
2. Signed custom_prerooted_doubleFLASH_R5A_nbx03_001-ota-121116036.zip
3. Installed Rescue Backdoor
4. Flash Custom Rom (Signed)
5. Stuck with "assert failed" error as shown in the images here
6. I see this problem discussed here with no clear solution
The AiO Tool says the failure is OK. I'm confused how should i proceed if this failure is expected
Can someone help ?
**UPDATE**
Sony Tablet S once OTA updated to Firmware 4.0.3 5a can be rooted with Condi's AIO Tool (v6.4 onwards) but no ROM cannot be flashed over it as Recovery 3e prevents it. There's no active development interest on XDA for this device so such users are stuck on ICS for good.

This is the first time I tried to install a custom rom. Please be gentle.
Device: Huawei Y300 (Bootloader unlocked and rooted)
TWRP Version: 2.5.0.1
Custom rom: cm-11-20140510-NIGHTLY-u8833.zip (found here)
I mindlessly tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 (kitkat) on my Huawei Y300. Here was the last steps I did:
copied rom and gapps zip files on phone root
restarted phone in fastboot mode
on ADB, ran
Code:
fastboot flash boot path\to\boot.img
(everything seem to be working fine)
ran
Code:
fastboot reboot
(phone rebooted in TWRP)
Tried to install cm-11-20140510-NIGHTLY-u8833.zip rom file (installation failed)
From what I read, the version of my twrp is not compatible with kitkat? Now i believe I bricked my phone because I forgot to create a backup of the stock rom.
Questions:
Is the stock rom still somehow there, hiding in my phone memory?
Is it possible to "undo"
Code:
fastboot flash boot path\to\boot.img
so that the "original" boot.img is used by my phone when I try to reboot it?
I am currently downloading Android SDK with a plan to upgrade my twrp for kitkat compatibility. I hope this will let me install cyanogenmod kitkat on my huawei. But I am not sure if I will succeed. If I still fail, can you guys tell me what other options I have to save my phone?
Thanks
Edit: problem solved.
I learned how to properly flash/upgrade twrp via fastboot.. Retried installing rom with twrp 2.7 and it was successful.
Hi everybody,
I have tried to root my Tablet S but it doesn'T work. I am on the 5a Firmware and I am using the AiO Tool v6.5. When trying to root it begins rooting, says it is rooted and then the restartes the device. When I check for root there is none. I cannot do any of the other options of the tool as they all need root and the tool tells me "su binary not found". SuperSu isn't installed either. Any way to downgrade and root or force root? I cannot flash any other ROM via recovery as it gives me an error when I try. Am I stuck with unrooted 5a now!
UPDATE: No I cannot even get a ROM installed. I can get into recovery and thats it. Any update fails because of "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku". ADB doesn't recognize the tablet so my only option is some flashing over SD Card but how?!
Please help:crying:
Cheers!
So, I kind of rooted my device using Kingo Root and it wasn't successful (I guess). So, in fastboot mode, I tried OEM unlock and it didn't work too; but anyway, I flashed TWRP recovery into my phone and through that I tried to install CM 13,14 custom ROMs which was completely unsuccessful. It doesn't allow me to install any ROM. And says that root privilege is lost. And now, all that I have access to is a phone stuck in bootloop and TWRP which doesn't allow me anything to do because apparently root access is lost. :crying:
I tried every method of flashing via YGDP tool and it is stuck at 'entering download mode'. I have installed different drivers over and again to fix as suggested by different threads but still, it's the same. [Windows 8.1] . And is there any other tool to flash this same stock ROM or better, can I get root access again in a bricked device and install a custom ROM any way?:fingers-crossed:
I also have access to ADB sideload via TWRP, so can I get stock ROM in .zip format. So far, I can only find it in .CPB format; maybe I can use .zip stock ROM via ADB sideload to flash it. Please help if any of this is possible.
*Apology for such a long question but I think you guys must know everything in order to provide me with a fix*
It's fixed.

Its fixed now, I assume it was because of the ROM file being downloaded through chrome in phone, I downloaded ROM and GApps in PC and flashed through TWRP and bam! Its back on:laugh:
TWRP - 2.4.4
ROM - Resurrection Remix 5.7.2
Thanks anyways!
i have a problem while flashing Android 7.12 ROMs for HTC Desire 620g (stock 4.4.2). My problem started with recovery flashing issues. Fastboot mode for this particular model doesn't support recovery flashing. I've dig up other way of flashing recovery - via MTK Droid Tools and MTK SP Flash Tool. It worked like a charm.
Then I started with ROM flashing - I couldn't flash any of 7.12 ROMs I've found for this model (XOSP, LineageOS, ResurrectionOS, ViperOS). All of them crashes with this same error :
Code:
ApplyParsedPerms : lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
I've made some digging, and found out that this error is due to incompatibility recovery with android 7.12. I've also found the information that update CWM to newer version would resolve this issue. Although, due to recovery being flashed via MTK SP Flash Tool, I'm now stuck on CWM 5.5.0.4. I can't update it via Rom manager - CWM is not event detected by app, and thus I can't update it via APP. I can't replace it with fastboot (due to fastboot not supporting flashing recovery), and I can't install TWRP via app TWRP - installation bricked recovery mode, so I had to restore it from original files through SP Flash Tool.
So now is the main question - does anybody know how to update CWM or install TWRP via SP Flash Tool? Is there any way to replace default CWM used by MTK Droid Tool, so I can generate the recovery image for SP Flash Tool with newer CWM or TWRP?
Or maybe there's other way to replace recovery or make it working in fastboot? I've read that the main cause with flashing recovery is not doing it in download mode. But I CANT run FASTBOOT in download mode with VOL DOWN + POWER sequence, because it runs chineese test menu and not FASTBOOT. The only way I can run fastboot is "reboot to fastboot" via adb, and this one doesn't work with flashing recovery.
Also tried to flash recovery via Mobileuncle Tools app. Still nothing. Every recovery image I've found doesn't work. Only one that works (and I've found on this forum) is 5.5.0.4 (the same MTK Droid Root & Tools generates). I've also tried to search recovery in original thread on 4pda forum, but all recovery images posted there are already deleted.
Or maybe if anyone have the same model with alredy flashed newer CWM recovery and could share it, I would be greatly appriciated.
Dear all,
When I rooted my phone i followed the guide with the patching of the stock boot.img via magisk and flashing via fastboot.
Because I was facing random restarts I tried to restock the phone by flashing back the stock boot.img and now I stacked in bootloop
Please help me revert to stock firmware.

Same happened to me, I had to open the phone and short the pins to get it out of boot loop. I did buy the special cable but didn't need to use it in the end.
