How to install a rom only by recovery mode?? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, first of all i want to say that i'm new here and i am not sure i'm posting in the right place, if not i'm sorry.
I was trying to fix a problem with my camera app in my Idol X+ (s960), i installed a new one and reboot. The problem is that my phone bocked at the boot image and didn't want to reboot normally. I got into the recovery mode pressing the key buttons. I now want to reset to swipe to factory reset but nothing is working, i cant even install a new rom because there's none in my phone memory (it doesnt allow sd cards). is there a way to tranfere files to my phone without turning it on? because it is impossible i only can access recovery mode...
Thank you very much

Can you access fastboot mode or does your recovery allow for an ADB sideload command?
Sent from my Nexus 4, want to know my current project? Check http://team-fun.eu

I'm sorry, I'm a real noob but can you explain what is fastboot mode and how can I know about the "ADB sideload command"?
I want to say thnk you for your reply!:laugh:
I found out my recovery allows ADB Sideload and when I choose Bootloader the screen goes black with written at the botttom fastboot. Is it what you were talking about? Nothing happens then ...

the only thing u need to do is,, to flash your phone using spflash tools,,

Have you tried holding volume down and power until it boots?

Yah....Nothing!!
Try all methods:

I think you may need to use ADB commands to force it to reboot into download.
You may need to do method #4.
You may want to keep adb up and keep typing 'adb devices' to see if it sees the device when you try these different methods. If so - reboot into recovery from that.
You should be able to get into DL mode. Do you have ADB on your computer? If not, get it. Put it on the root of your C:\ and than make sure you get the drivers installed on your PC. Get ODIN and have it open. When that is done, connect your phone to your PC and boot it up. Open a cmd prompt (if you are in windows 7 you may need to open as admin) and navigate to C:\ (or where ever you decided to put ADB). At the command prompt type this exactly minus the parenthesis: "adb reboot download" Should shoot you right into DL mode. At that point you will need to flash a new ROM via ODIN, so make sure you read up.
Hope this works/helps.
I tried all that but cant get into recovery or download mode, my phone is not stuked on vibrant logo it just go to the second logo and then blank screen. Fabrication date is 08-10.

[Q] Recovery on Galaxy 10.1

Anyone know of a way to get into recovery mode (botton combo, one-click, etc.) on the 10.1 tab without having android sdk and adb installed on my PC? I am not new at flashing files in recovery mode, but going through help files/instructions on adk is a bit overwhelming.
I have the root zip file on my tab, I just need to get into recovery mode to flash it.
Thanks in advance...
It isn't possible without adb on a non-rooted device. You can attempt to boot into recovery mode by holding power and volume down on start up and selecting the android guy with "downloading" but it will say: "waiting for usb" and hang there. I was attempting to do this the other night.
Getting into recovery is dead simple though once you have adb going. Go to the android development section and go to rooting your tablet. Download the drivers > connect to the computer > run adb in command prompt once you have your sdk installed > then if you have your drivers fully installed and usb debugging mode is on just type in command prompt "adb reboot recovery" and it will send you directly to recovery mode to flash any zip file you please.
Thx, Really wish someone had a one-click option, I guess i'll just have to jump in
I've been trying to boot into recovery for a while now, but with no luck. I installed the full SDK platform, and the Manager app downloaded and installed all the available packages (took forever). The 'push' command seemed to work fine, and when I do "adb reboot recovery" the tablet reboots, but just goes into the battery charging screen. Any idea why this might be happening, and what I can do to get into recovery?

The mode that says "downloading" is not recovery mode. Just select the one on the left and you will get into stock recovery mode (unless you already have Clockwork installed).

I managed to do that, but it wouldn't show anything on my '/sdcard' directory, even when I renamed the root package to "update.zip"
In red, it says "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" Not sure if I'm getting into real, stock recovery, or what - seems crazy that stock wouldn't be able to access its own sdcard directory.
Battery not recovery mode
I am in a similar situation, when I use adb to run recovery mode it sends me to teh battery charging screen. With the exception of that they only other things I can do are to hold power and vol to get option of using Fastboot or ODIN. I do not have any options ever to chose to go into recovery mode. Anyone know why this may be? I am running 3.1 IO version.
Thanks
You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.
Installing the sdk works best, as drivers needed are acquired from the process! ELse there are extracted contents available on net including just the drivers, adb (and fastboot!)

I don't think the stock retail recovery is capable of flashing off SD storage. That's why the current rooting methods have you first flash either I/O recovery or a custom recovery.

The manual says to press the power and UP VOL button to get into recovery mode for update flash or wipe data ..
Pressing power and DOWN VOL enters fastboot mode

Go ahead and let know if you are able to enter recovery with the keys combination and wipe or factory reset the device, according to manual. Did not work for me, am on 3.1 honeycomb i/o galaxy tab 10.1 and many others.

Use the quick boot app. Works well for me. Supports power off, recovery, and normal reboot for the free version. Oh yeah but that requires root.

[Q] how to flash without fastboot? Brick phone first?

Hi,
my phone hard resets every boot and the command:
adb reboot bootloader
only restarts the phone , which then runs recovery, resets and then boots android.
The only thing I can think of is to use a root file manager to wipe everything in sight (and with it whatever it continually sending the phone into recovery) and then hopefully it will be able to enter fastboot.
I'm an IT pro but linux and phones are out of my depth. Please help.
where is the recovery files located... can I delete them and hopefully brick the phone to be able to get it in fastboot?

DOOGEE T6 Pro - Root ?

Hey there,
i was wondering if anyone got an idea how to get root access / TWRP working on a Doogee T6 Pro ?
I don't really find anything online that seems to be working and of course most one-click root tools dont work for China phones.
Anyone got any idea ? The official forums look empty as well.
It looks good

Some useful tips for rooting MAZE Alpha, perhaps will help you : MAZE Alpha root
Use the method I to patch your boot.img with Magisk-v14 and flash the result image, it must works
Here is the HowTo, have done it 3 times yet:
First, get the correct TWRP Version for Doogee T6Pro ( i dont remember where i got it, i can upload it somewhere if someone have a good location) and the SuperSu Zip.
Then, activate the Developer Options in the Device Settings and Activate the OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in there.
The next Step is to Boot the Device in Fastboot mode. you can either do it by USB with the Terminal Command: "adb reboot bootloader" or you can turn the device of and then reboot it by pressing the Volume Up Button and the Power Button simultanously (quite difficult, didnt Work every Time). You will get to a menue with 3 options: Boot to Recovery, Fastboot and Normal. Switch through these Options with the Volume Up Button and Select it with the Volume Down. Go To the Fastboot Option and Select it.
In Fastboot Mode, plug in the device to an computer and type the terminal command "fastboot oem unlock" (in windows, you have to install the fastboot tools. i dont remember that i had to install them in ubuntu... im not sure). this will wipe the whole data of the device. its important to reboot the device afterwards normaly. otherwise it could happen that you get stuck in an bootloop later ( happend twice to me ) this normal system boot will last much longer then normal, so get a coffee or tea
the next step is do get to fastboot mode again and then send from your computer the command: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-filename.img". this will flash the recovery.img on the recovery partition.
than go to the bootloadermenue and this time you dont choose fastboot but the recovery option. this will start TWRP
while TWRP is running, you can copy the SuperSU zip to the device with Nautilus or in windows systems with windows explorer. then select "Install" in TWRP and select the SuperSU.zip.
After the installation, reboot to normal system and you are ready with rooting!
if something goes wrong, it can happen that booting to normal system will get you stuck in an bootloop. the last time i could repair the system by booting into recovery (TWRP) and select the Wipe menue and there the Format option. the other time i downloaded the original system from Doogee and flashed all partitions. im not sure if that was necessary.... but who knows :fingers-crossed:

Help Brick/bootloop

Hi guys, my redmi 5 plus is stuck on logo loading screen and i can only go for fastboot. Cannot neither turn off phone.
I tried with Mi Flash tool but program fail with "Can not find flash_all.bat". I tried different version of roms and Mitool, but still have this error. How can i repair my device? Thnak you all for the future responsed
Ps: sorry for my really bad english
I dont´know what you tried to do before to get this status or if you have an unlocked bootloader to perform some operation in fastboot mode. If you are in stock rom you can try enter to recovery and use MiAssistant feature is a kind of adb sideload in-built that you can use to reinstall again the rom onto your device. Here you will find some guide lines about this behind the concept http://www.xiaomitool.com/adb

You right sorry. I have Bootloader unlocked. My brick come becose of me trying to root the phone with "1clickrooter" for redmi5 plus. When phone rebooted on recovery he ask me for a password. No pin works on this pass requesto so i try to wipe cash, phone automatically reboot and stuck in logo screen. Cannot turn of or go to recovery, only action i can make is to go on fastboot mode.
So, i have news, i can go on recovery mode (recovery i have is called "Team Win Recovery Project 3.2.1.0"), but in order to make write action (now i can only read) request me a password, obviously neither 1 of my pass (sim pin/screen unlock) work.

If you can reboot now to recovery twrp then just cancel when it prompts for a password and you have to format data in order to can reboot to system again

Yes, you can reflash again the rom, put the rom zip in your adb folder and short the name as you can, and flash it using adb sideload, to do this tap on "advanced option" and then "adb sideload" in recovery menu and in adb terminal in your pc type adb sideload nameofrom.zip where nameofrom is te name of the rom, don´t forget the extension .zip as I wrote. TWRP will load the zip and flash it again and then you can flash Magisk to root device.
If you can´t see storage of device in your pc is cause it´s encrypted but you can perform adb sideload anyway

Look at the error you got every time "Can not find flash_all.bat" its mean that you are selecting invalid path, okay so here is correct method to flash via fast-boot method:
Download the latest fast boot rom zip one option is http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.5.12.0....FA_20180525.0000.00_7.1_global_343bc5aaef.tgz
Unzip .tgz using winrar and the zip will be extracted in folder named as vince_global_images_V9.5.12.0.NEGMIFA_20180525.0000.00_7 inside this folder there will be another folder named same.
Open Mi Flash tool and click to select direct to folder vince_global_images_V9.5.12.0.NEGMIFA_20180525.0000.00_7 open the folder and then open the other folder click Ok (don't open the the images folder)
Connect your redmi 5 plus in fast boot mode and click refresh, then choose clean all and click Flash
