Sir, I want to know that how to open custom recovery in micromax a27 by key combinations. I have successfully flashed cwm recovery in my device & also I can go to recovery mode by quickboot or rom manager, but can't able to go to recovery by key combinations. The power & vol+ is opening the stock recovery mode not the cwm recovery mode, so, I need a way to open cwm recovery when my mobile is bricked. I have searched the whole forum but can't find any solution. Pls help.

Don't believe anyone ever really figured that one out. I just read a bunch of threads about your issue and they all concluded the same way - no easy way to use button combos to boot directly to CWM. Something to do with the init.rc file that gets loaded from the boot.img. Can't just change it because it will get rewritten on reboot. So, a couple different people suggested that they were able to get into CWM while the phone was off or bootlooping by just plugging it into the computer and using : adb reboot recovery . That seems odd to me, but I am not as familiar with these kinds of devices because they don't sell / use them here in the US, but saw it on a couple of different threads, so hope it works for you!
How to boot my phone into recovery by adb command when my phone is switched off?

Hi
I am having some issues with my Xperia Z2 D6502. I am new to rooting, so please bear with me.
I rooted my device following these instructions. All things went smoothly. However next day I started having problems to boot into recovery mode. I have explained my problem here. I tried reinstalling Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer which I got from the above instructions. It installed successfully but still I couldnt boot into recovery mode. The phone even stopped detecting my SD card, I had to reinsert it each time I would reboot to make it work.
So I followed all the instructions from the scratch again except for the last one which involved flashing pre rooted 5.1.1 stock ROM(flashable_D6502_23.4.A.0.546.zip). I wanted to keep rooted kitkat 4.4.2(I initially,i ..e., before rooting, had 5.1.1 but according to the instructions I had to downgrade it to kitkat) which I obtained as a result of downgrading my Xperia Z2 from 5.1.1.
Now I am facing wifi problems with kitkat. I can connect to the network but internet works extremely slow while it works absolutely fine on other devices. I dont have access to the router as its a common router in my dorm. I tried several solutions which I found on internet involving changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and changing IP settings to static. None of them had any effect. Is there anything else I could do to resolve this issue?
The main reason I want to keep kikat is that I want to install Xposed on my device for imei changer and android id changer, and I read somewhere that for installing Xposed on kitkat you dont need to flash any zips and just install it like any other app. I didnt flash it on lollipop because of the warnings about getting stuck in bootloop in sony devices and I wasnt sure of how to flash it as the instructions were not very detailed and I am new to it. So do we flash it the same way I flashed 5.1.1 rom, i.e., booting into recovery mode and then selecting install and then selecting the zip I want to install?
I got this link to working modules on sony devices but I cant find imei changer in the list. So even if I installed Xposed, with your help of course, will I be unable to use imei and android id changer?
I read in several places that I should backup my device so that I can restore to the previous state in case I soft brick it or enter a bootloop. What kind of backup is this and how do I take it?(I googled and found Backup TA to take backup but I am not sure if that is the type of backup I am looking for and the instructions in the page are not detailed enough for me as I cant risk my device.)
I have one request, please provide me with detailed steps as I am doing all of it for the first time and am extremely nervous of screwing up my device as it is my only phone and quite expensive too.
Well, my device is rooted, on 5.1.1, and Xposed Works very well, without bootloops, and all Modules that I tried worked very well, by your description I can't figure out what is causing your problems...

I havent tried Xposed on my device yet. Have you tried imei changer and android id changer? If not can you confirm if it works?
Can you please provide me with detailed step on how to install Xposed?
If my device goes into bootloop, will I be able to flash it using stock ROM?
And can you please provide answers regarding taking backup?

If you got a boot loop, you can:
1: Force power off the device by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously, then, you will able to flash via flashtool a new ROM
2: if you have a custom recovery, you can follow the same method to power off, then, power on and access the recovery, where you will be able to flash a zip containing a new system, etc.

Well, again, using a custom recovery you can make a Backup, the interface is very intuitive and easy to understand.

Do we make custom recovery using the backup option we get when we boot into recovery menu?
And how to enter recovery menu without booting into the system? I access it using NDR utils app.
And do I need to flash any recovery zip from the recovery menu if I want to keep it?

If you have Dual recovery, you are already running a custom recovery.
to enter the recovery menu whitout boot the system, you should:
Power On the device, and at the FIRST SONY screen, when the LED flashes, press volume up to enter TWRP

Volume down for TWRP, volume up goes to the other one, CWM I think? I've never looked!
@berbatov93 you need a bit more patience and to read more things. Forums are awesome because you can get help from people all over the world but it rarely happens in real time.

The DRM keys are unlikely to affect your warranty claim but they do other things including allowing your device to get OTA upgrades.
To unlock your bootloader you have to get an unlock code from Sony, to do that you give them your device details. So if you send it back for warranty and they look it up, I have no idea if they do, they'll see that you have unlocked your bootloader. Or at least got the code to do so, I doubt anyone gets the code without planing on using it.
Those DRM keys play a role in the Sony image processing for both the camera and the Bravia Engine. That is what you lose by unlocking the bootloader, warranty is not the major factor.
Hey
I had the same problem.
So what I did to solve this?
I did a factory reset > flash again flashable_D6502_23.4.A.0.546.zip > wipe dalvik >
And the problem was fixed.
Good luck
Hello,
I own a lenovo a7000-a. Today I tried to root it with some one click apps like kingo, srs and iroot but all failed. After sometime I tried to access the recovery mode only to find out that it had been in 'meta' mode and now it won't allow me to access the recovery menu. The phone is operating normally though.
Is there any way I can disable that 'meta' mode? Thanks in advance
U don't need to go to meta mode.. U have to press vol+ vol- and power ... And u can't root it with cwm u have to flash twrp and then root
I have the same problem with my lenovo a916. After a failed try to install twrp since there is no version for my model available I flashed to stock rom and now I cannot enter recovery mode. Now when I press vol down and power up it entered meta mode. Can someone help?

Well I managed to flash twrp and a custom rom (resurrection remix) without any problem recently. If I remember correctly there are some unofficial twrp builds for Lenovo a916, you can try flashing it.

there is a twrp version and some useful other stuff.

Thank you both but I tried this one but i cannot seem to be able to make this TWRP Recovery work unless I root my phone and even then it only works when I access it by choosing reboot in recovery mode when the phone is running. When I try to access it when opening the phone with the require button combination the phone just freezes or enter in meta mode again.
It seems its messed up for good and I can't do anything about it :/
Thanks for your time anyway guys

Hi Bro,
i have sc7731c (karbonn titanium 3D Plex ) device too. and i have tried many available img but none of them worked this would be because these devices are new and there no suitable recovery available simply because people have not made any till now..
There is many programs that allows u to create a new custom recovery if there is no recovery is available for your device try to goggle it.
On windows, philz magic touch recovery tool, android kitchen recovery image unpacker and so on.
Can i make you custom recovery using your stock image if you're too lazy
as i said above i have been trying to flash online available recoveries and accidentally flashed my stock u could help me out this
can u provide me you stock recovery image file ?
@Maucurezo
Hey dude! Im a pinoy. Im running with my STARMOBILE PLAY CLICK. As same as yours. Im running on the same Spreadtrum SC7731C and I flashed a Custom Recovery but it would only bring me to bootload. I kept finding solutions to get my Stock recovery but failed. We have the same Problem. I need the Custom recovery too. Help us admins
You can try and do it yourself. Porting TWRP and CWM to a new device. You'll need the stock rom for your device or simply make an image "dump" of the system files (boot.img, etc) via adb. Goodluck.
TWRP for sc7731c hope it helps
hi all a have a sc7731c phone on android 6.0 and i was able to install twrp on my device
it all started when i found a stock rom on the web (Google your device for stock - rom or - firmware)
once i had the rom i started searching for a way to extract the stock recovery from the rom
and i found this tool SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001 using this tool i extracted my stock
recovery from the ROM ( recovery.img ) , first stage complete i had a stock recovery
taken from a rom for my phone - brand and model must be right on the stock
firmware/rom or you risk damaging you phone (DO NOT CHEAT PLZ)
ps:wen you unpack the firmware/rom you should get a .pac file
ps:finding my stock rom took me several days of search.
now for STAGE 2 i had a stock recovery a needed to change it
for twrp another few days of search i came across a site
called hovatek here i found a tool to port (change) the
stock recovery to boot the twrp recovery the tool name is
[Hovatek] Spreadtrum (SPD) Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.0 by Team Hovatek (x86)
i run my stock recovery with this tool the tool creates a modified recovery on the
output folder( a few kb bigger ) stage 2 done.
STAGE 3
1- a fully working ADB, for this your best option is android-studio
2-turn on USB debuging and OEM unlock in DEV options
3-name the new recovery file recovery.img
4-your device has to be in USB MTP mode
5-if ADB is properly installed and Windows has the correct android device
driver you should be able to use these commands using android-studio's ADB
command-adb devices
-if the device is detected a serial number apears
command-adb reboot bootloader
-the device reboots to a black screen with small white letters saying FASTBOOT mode
command-fastboot devices
-the device displays the serial number again
command-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- if all went well it will say successful
command-fastboot reboot
-dont remenber if it booted straight to twrp or if i had to use power + volume up
-by the way on my phone to get in the default recover its 1 second hold power
and then with the power pressed for 1 sec add volume up 3 sec and let go of both
any way it worked i hope it helps ppl with these sc7731c phones
i have twrp 3.0.0 fully working
tips: youtube vídeos on how to use SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001
the hovatek site has a great tutorial on how to use the recovery porter tool
the last part the ADB commands was a ***** as Windows did not install my device
correctly and this is crucial -install phone driver manualy/Google device/Google android device. good luck
ps: all merit goes to the developers of these tool, a great ty to them :highfive:
ps: at the start i did NOT have root, the success flashing the ported twrp recovery
was followed bi the installation of the magisk15.3.zip and voila twrp+root
any one help me i port twrp using adb but after i flash my twrp upside down on sc7731ceb it works fine but the twrp upside down any help me

humm,.. as far as i now adb does not port recovery image´s you mean you found an image for sc7731?? phone and there are at least 4 or 5 variations of the sc7731 board and you
flashed it on your phone, by shear luck you did not soft-brick or brick your phone and it actualy Works, :cyclops:
you need to search Google/xda/hovatek site for your brand and model´s stock recovery or even better your custom recovery
or as an alternative your stock ROM/FIRMWARE and then extract the stock recovery from ROM/FIRM port it and flash it
im prety shure someone out there has a phone like your´s and you can , when you find it download the stock recovery - the custom recovery - or the ROM/FIRMWARE file
the hovatek site has a great auto port tool all you need is your stock recovery follow the vídeo simple steps and flash it now that you have root just use
twrp oficial app to flash it ,se my tutorial above it will be easy once you have the stock recovery or rom/firmware
i have a 50 buck cheap phone wierd brand,it took me several days to find the stock rom/firmware once i did all worked just fine no strange stuff
hovetek site also has a lot of rom´s/firmware files for many brands and model´s , again search Google/xda/hovatek for your model + stock recovery or recovery.img, custom recovery.
good luck

Hi guys, need a bit of help. I followed the following guide and seems like a new recovery has been installed on my note 2 but no root or twrp. Any ideas ?
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-root-and-unroot-redmi-note-2/
Phone is fine but i do need to root and have twrp installed on it. Alternatively, do you have a link where I can achieve this easily as I want to put a a new rom on my phone. Sorry for the amateurish questions, its been a while since i have installed custom roms
Many thanks
This guide is old.
When I received my RN2 I installed TWRP from the Updated app, but now this is not possible anymore.
You have to flash TWRP image via fastboot.
Look at Fastboot Install Method here: https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomiredminote2.html
The image could be downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.0.2-0-hermes.img
Remember to keep vol+ pressed when you'll restart using fastboot reboot until it enter TWRP to prevent original recovery from restoring.
Once you are done, you'll be able to flash SuperSU.
Ok, ill try that. Thing is that I have lost fastboot, when i do power + volume up, i get to the TWRP 2.8.7 screen. Is this a problem ?

power + volume up is to enter recovery
To enter fastboot use power + volume down.
EDIT:
if with power + volume up you are entering TWRP, there is not need to do other than install supersu (unless you want to update TWRP).
Many thanks. Got this sorted. Running cm at the mo, cool. What is the best rom in ur opinion by the way? Any oxygen based roms?
I don't know the current status of CM on RN2, but generally speaking, IMHO ported ROM are not better then official ROM because there is always something not working.
Unfortunately there are no sources for RN2.
First of all, Thank you for read this post.
Second, Please watch my video on the link below:
To be honest, I have change a few handset before but never seen problem like this before.
So, I'm actually have difficulty to boot into recovery again everytime I like to reboot recovery from TWRP itself.
Not just reboot recovery, but also bootloader. So, the one that normal only reboot system option. Even when I try to clicked the reboot recovery or bootloader, it straight goes to system when it start to booting.
I also already try to install the default recovery (the one that only show phone and USB cable) from my phone in order to erase the previous recovery.img, and after that reinstall the TWRP recovery mode. But the problem is never dismiss. Its back, I still cannot access the recovery mode from the TWRP itself.
So, what should I do if I want my TWRP normal again? The only installation method that I still haven't to try yet is fastboot method from PC because I'm using macintosh and didn't have windows PC at my home.
So, if there anyone here know what should I do to fix it, please let me know. If u can't download the video, please also have a look to this picture...maybe it will help you to understand what I mean

Of course I can enter to TWRP by pressing the hard key. That's never be a problem for me.
My problem is, when I'm in TWRP, i never can booting into recovery again. Instead of go to recovery. It always booting to the system. Is that a common?
Before no but after 7.3.9 ROM and until now for me yes.
