The L90/F90/G2 mini are all very similar phones. In case you guys haven't noticed, we at the volt community have successfully booted a working copy of cwm. I would post a link if I could but you guys can find our active forum at android forums.

Could you please provide a link.
Thank you.
BTW if you have a look in the dev sections you'll find:
The L90 section here at XDA have booting CWM, TWRP and CM11.
Here in G2 mini we have working CWM, TWRP and Philz touch.
Custom kernel and CM11 or/and Omni Rom to follow.

I'm sorry. I hadn't realized there was working recovery and Roms already. I was only following the general forum not the development forum.

At this moment we have working recovery but are having trouble flashing it. It will run if loaded via fastboot, but if we flash it in any way we get an error.

Your phone seams to have a locked boot loader.
This is the reason why you get the security error.
Read the thread about unlocking boot loader in dev section, it may help you to, as it works for some other LG phones.
You can find a hacked bootloader for LG F90 - LS740 here:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/a682b8a7b7f2/Hacked boot
I'm the reason that "hacked" bootloader is there, but it doesn't work, also I've already booted into fastboot and unlocked the bootloader. I can boot an image via "fastboot boot" but flashing doesn't work. If I boot to recovery via vol- + power it will boot to a black screen and when you plug it in will show multiple drives. If I boot to recovery via adb "reboot recovery" it will momentarily show the boot certification verify error then go to that same black screen. We can however successfully backup and restore nandroids via cwm through fastboot boot and flash other files, flashing recovery from cwm will throw a bunch of errors and reboot cwm.

Yes, your bootloader is still locked. 'fastboot oem unlock' doesn't do the full job.
On my LG G2 mini it changes the bootloader slightly but has no effect.

Hi All,
I have a HTC ONE X+ on O2 UK, it has HBOOT 1.72, S-ON, Radio-3.1204.171.33
I tried being clever and Rooted the phone following hasoon2000 instructions. It was so simple and worked so well i got cocky.
Successfully rooted and installed TWRP 2.6 recovery, used the phone for the whole of 5 minutes before deciding if that was so easy i may as well try flashing a ROM....
I tried CM11 snapshot 15/09/2014, it failed so i restored my back up and all was fine. On the CM wiki i read this bit ..
This device, if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel flashed via fastboot. Extract boot.img from the CyanogenMod .zip package and flash it from the bootloader with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i did that, and now i am stuck in boot loop of the HTC quietly Brilliant screen.
I can get into recovery restore my backup but i am still stuck in a boot loop. I assume i need a boot.img with certain information to allow it to go any further. I tried the
RUU RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_O2_UK_1.14.206.13_Radio_3.1204.167.31_release_289474_signed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but assume the problem is my HBOOT and Radio are more up to date. (Shows error on screen saying incompatible)
My ideal would be to have a working CM11 Snapshot or CM10.2 on the device, i would settle for stock and back to 4.2.2 and working.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510836
it tells you to use clockworkmod recovery and not twrp. atm you can't use twrp for kitkat based roms
hold power button until phone turns off. then turn on holding VOL-DOWN to enter bootloader.
now you can flash cwm recovery and boot.img extracted rom.zip
You can only flash a new kernel by booting in the bootloader.... Therefore, whenever you switch rom you'll have to flash kernel compatible to that particular rom.
So, enter bootloader, connect your phone and use command "fastboot flash boot <kernel path>"

Seemingly it was as simple as not being able to use twrp with the latest CM11. Thanks so much, happily on 4.4.4 now.
The thread was from 2012 and the twrp site seemed to indicate otherwise, but soon as i switched recovery it was sorted.

Fixing TWRP is on my list of things to do...by the looks of it I need to get to it sooner rather than later
I have the castor windy version 16gb SGP511. I was previously rooted but not unlocked. I unlocked the boot loader. Installed the twrp image on the pac man thread which i think was dual recovery cause Philz,Cwm came out, so I can install lollipop version of the rom. Made a backup of the stock rom. Followed this instructions - Install the Lollipop ROM + GApps+SuperSU using whatever Recovery you have.
- Turn off device completely.
- Press <Volume Up> and plug USB cable.
- LED should turn blue.
- Send command: "fastboot erase recovery"
- Send command for Castor_Windy: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor_Windy.img"
- Send command for Castor: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor.img"
- Unplug USB cable.
- Device will reboot.
- When LED turns pink press <Volume Up> and <Volume Down> several times.
- You should now see TWRP
I wasnt fast enough so stock rom booted. I used Adb reboot recovery to access recovery and did as the above mentioned. Wiped i tried to install the rom which failed. Rebooted back to system and got stuck in Sony boot up screen. I can access fastboot. Read though the forums I have to find a ftf or a system image file and use a flash tool. What ftf file or system image my I use use which will let me root my device again.
Thanks Steve

Try this Xperia downloader tool. Should let you see which versions are which. If you want an easy root, then stay away from the KitKat builds, unless you want to unlock bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Use Flashtool to flash your downloaded ftf file. Just make sure your device is charged.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335555
I believe flashtool will even install the drivers for your 511
Thanks for the reply. Flashed ftf file and my tablet is up an running. Do I have to unlock my bootloader again or is it unlocked already?

Well, now this depends.
If you previously had KK running, and flashed a original version JellyBean ROM, then it probably locked the bootloader again.
If you flashed the same version as you had previously installed, then it didn't lock it again.

Thanks. Yes i was unlocked already, went through the process again to verify. Trying to upgrade my firmware which is 17...........402. to a kk build firmware. I have the old cwm recovery 6.0.4.6. being trying to upgrade or even change recovery to any recovery except dual recovery. Through fastboot which none of them stick. Fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img all of them(CWM,TWRP,PHILZ). The process goes smoothly but when I access recovery the old recovery comes up. What seems to be problem? I cant change my recovery or even upgrade it. I never have had this problem before some insight needed before i take a wrong turn. LOL.

You mean the "factory" recovery comes up.
Well, just for info, you don't need to run the fastboot "erase" command when installing a recovery. Not necessary as the new image file will overwrite the existing.
Also, you don't exactly need to flash a recovery either. You can connect via USB, boot to bootloader, and run the "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever you named it) as long as your custom recovery is in the same folder as the fastboot.exe. This will just the custom recovery without installing it, thus allowing you to flash stuff.
As to why your fastboot flash isn't sticking, I'm new to the Sony tab, so haven't learned all the quirks yet as compared to Acer tabs.

Well, here's what I think is going on.
1. You installed Doomlords kernel. Note that this is a foto-kernel, which means the kernel itself has a partition that contains a recovery. What this means, is that as long a the fota-kernel was not replaced, then that specific recovery will be there.
2. You flashed a normal recovery. Now, I think this is there, but because of the fota-kernel, the fota-kernel is taking precedence.
Like I said, I don't know a lot about this Sony tab and the different partitions,as they are different from other tablets I am familiar with.
What puzzles me, is that if you flash a new "ftf" without changing any options in Flashtool, it "should" rewrite "every" partition on the tab, and install Stock recovery.
Now, based on my experience with Acer A500x and A700x tablets, I can say there are times when your issue happens. Rare, but it does happen. Things say they flash ok, but the old stuff still remains. The only option at that point, was to go back to a totally original version of the firmware.
Not sure I'm helping you on this. But the good thing, is that you can Fastboot Boot Recovery.

I started from zero again flashed ftf Firmware SGP511_17.1.1.A.0.402. Verfied that i was bootloader unlocked I still was. Used fastboot to flash Dooms Kernel, without a problem used cwm revovery to flash Supersu. Tried to upgrade my firmware with the prerooted rooms in thread flashed with out a problem but no difference was provided. Verified in settings and initial firmware stands (SGP511_17.1.1.A.0.402). Tried to flash CM12 got stuck on a bootloop. Fastboot flashed the boot img provided didn't work for me so I flahed Teslas rom Followed instructions provided
1. Make sure you have CWM installed and a working nandroid backup
2. Download the ROM.
3. Place the ROM on your SD-Card.
4.Extract boot.img included in zip and fastboot flash it via Flashtool or CMD
5. Reboot to recovery.
6. Wipe data-factory reset/cache partition/dalvik cache
7. Flash the ROM.
Flash went through but when I try to access recovery through the rom or adb recovery doesnt come up. The tablet just stays black on recovery screen and the tablets led turns yellow. I have adb access so went to access fastboot flashed different recoverys. None of them (flashed without a problem), work but if a flashed Dooms I have access to recovery again, but loose functionality of the rom it gets stuck on sony screen. I have to do the steps all over again without a working recovery. This has being a learning experience I am HTC guy so the process with sony products is new to me as well. So where do you think I should go on from here; flash a newer ftf or lock and unlock my bootloader again to see if something happens or just move on jajajajj . Anyways thanks a lot for your help.

Well, I'm not sure which route to take.
However, I will tell you what I have learned the other day.
I have the 521 with unlocked bootloader. Rooted with my own boot.img, flashed SuperSU using "flashboot boot recovery.img" (yeah, sometimes it doesn't show on the display, so it takes a few times).
Now, other day I was going to check out the new LyPop pre-rooted. Fastboot flash recovery recovery,img, and it won't boot it to recovery like it should. Like it's not flashed. Tried it a couple times. Now, I didn't install the dual recovery as I'm not sure how that kernel (boot.img) will interact with my current tabs OS. Not to mention I need it for my work until tomorrow. But strangely it sounds like the same issue you have.
This weekend I will investigate it. As for me, I will probably flash the Stock ftf lyPop build, and just root it using a modified boot.img.
One thing I do know, is flashing a custom recovery to the "recovery" partition, doesn't seem to work like it used to work on other devices. It seems the flashing to the "Fota kernel" partition seems to be the only method that works. This is what happens when you flash that dual recovery, or any recovery that has a boot image using "Fota". Probably explains why you can't get rid of it using "fastboot erase recovery". because it's erasing the wrong partition. Only flashing a full ftf gets rid of it, because the ftf has a new FotaKernel it flashes.
Eh, something like that. Will look at it this weekend.
I followed the instructions here: https://theunlockr.com/2015/09/19/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-z4-tablet/
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the new boot.img, then rebooted.
It now keeps going to the sony logo then restarting over and over.
Please help!
I got out of the boot loop by installing version 43 from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0j3VJ1Xp5N8cnhQamtxRWVtRmc

AndroPlus kernel is not up to date anymore.
AndroPlus kernel is NOT rooted.
You need to flash SuperSu or Magisk (did not try M.) after flashing a custom kernel.
The flawed documentation also left out the installation of a recovery necessary for this.
Im able to flash TWRP and boot into it but then I have to re-flash the boot.img to get back into android.
It seems I cant have TWRP and boot.img working at the same time.
I just looked at the guide in your footer, I'm guessing I lost my TA partion
There was no mention of that on sonys bootloader unlock info page.
I finally got it.
To get into recovery I had to use the command: fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-lineageos-karin-20170520.img
I was then able to install superSU

I really do not know why they do not mention and link my [Guide].
And the guide I read on flashing the recovery said to use this command: fastboot flash boot TWRP-3.1.1-lineageos-karin-20170520.img
That was flashing the recovery to the boot partition!
The same guide said to hold both vol+ and vol- to boot into recovery, that's why I was having such a hard time.
I'm trying to flash twrp.I have gone step by step I can't think of anything that I forgot to do, I did everything that was mentioned here and other places even my device is detected in both adb & fastboot.but I can't flash twrp
I tried these:
1-adb devices
returned a serial number
2-rebooted to bootloader using:
adb reboot bootloader
3-fastboot devices
returned device id(I think)
4-fastboot flash recovery.img
returned error
5-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
returned error either "command not allowed" or "Operation is not permited"
6-Different combinations of above commands plus flashing command
What is flashing .... in fastboot.It doesn't work. It acts like an unknown command. Does anyone know how to use it correctly? Help of fastboot didn't help
(Attached screenshots=CMD:Command Line in Windows,SCL-U31:My phone screen in fastboot mode)
See it for yourself in screenshot please
Thanks in advance!
P.S I read a lot of other threads,I Couldn't Find anything that helped me solving the problem,So,Any further idea?
No luck still
Guys I'm tryings to flash an stupid twrp recovery or at least get back to original recovery(All firmware packages are in UPDATE.app format and I can't flash it since It says "recovery image verification failed) . System needs its original recovery to do factory reset,right?

I might be a junior member in xda but it's been years that I worked with a lot of phones and now I'm pretty experienced. Bad luck of mine I damaged my note 3 and got this stupid Y6. It was hard to root unlocking bootloader and now I can't flash twrp in fastboot or whatever. Wishing there was a proper tool like odin for devices like this so it was easy to flash twrp. Anyway.

Of course I did. And also device is being detected in both adb and fastboot.
As I already mentioned I used flash recovery recovery.img(or twrp.img I have two versions of recovery that I can flash)
The error is=remote operation is not allowed or sometimes operation is not permitted(which seems to have same meaning )

OK then.
You can root your device with kingroot/kingoroot, it worked in the past for Huawei Y6, after you rooted your device install flashify and press on "Recovery image" after you granted root access to the app.After that click on select file, download this recovery for y6: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754472815 and flash the recovery with Flashify.
Done!
I am not responsible for Bricked devices!
After you done all of that you can flash an custom ROM and I recommend to root with magisk. Always make an backup when flashing a ROM!
If I helped a Thanks is appreciated

Not nice to hear that.
What you could try to do is:
Factory reset/Install an update.app made for SCL-U31 from recovery
Enable Usb debugging again
Reinstall usb drivers (HiSuite)
Lock&Unlock your bootloader again
Try to flash TWRP
Im happy if this worked and i am sorry if i wasted your time, sometimes this happens if you don't have HiSuite installed.
You could try this too:
adb reboot bootloader
adb kill-server
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Attention, install HiSuite to your PC, Connect the Phone to the PC with the cable, make sure You have usb debbuing is enabled and accept any dialogs that show in your home screen(They do not show on lockscreen) wait so HiSuite installs on the phone(An dialog should show up on the PC) and try flashing TWRP again.
Good luck

Is your boatloader unlocked?
You can find about by typing
fastboot oem devices-info
I recently bought an unlocked Moto G Play 2021 with the intent of learning how to flash custom rom's etc. The steps I've done so far are below.
Went to Motorola's site and got the code to unlock the bootloader
Waited for the "OEM Unlock" button to be available in the Developer Options menu.
Followed the directions Here to try to get an unofficial version of TWRP installed.
when I type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img Using the vbmeta.img from the link above, I get some kind of anti-rollback error and can't boot to recovery.img
So far, what I've found says I need to be on Android 10 for this to work but I can't find a stock rom of Android 10 for this device. Electimon posts AOSP builds for this phone Here so I assume there's a way to get this to work, I just don't know what it is and I've gone through these threads a few times now and can't piece it together. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, thanks Electimon for doing those AOSP builds.

Thank you for the response!
I made sure my phone was on wi-fi and checked for updates. I then rebooted to fastboot and flashed recovery to the MotoGuamnaFixed2.img. I still got a blank screen when I tried to reboot to recovery. I then rebooted to fastboot manually and did
fastboot flash recovery_a MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
fastboot flash recovery_b MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
It said ok both times, and when I try to reboot to recovery, I get a blank screen that I can't interact with. Pressing the power and volume buttons does nothing. Rebooting and letting the phone go through the boot process, to include waiting for the warning about the unlocked bootloader to go away results in a blank screen.
I also tried booting to fastboot and selecting "Recovery Mode" from the fastboot menu. Same result. That being said, I followed the instructions in the second link anyway, which are
fastboot -w
fastboot update (filename).zip
Now my phone has a blank screen I cannot interact with, but when I type "adb devices" I see the phone. Typing "adb shell ls -l" shows there is definitely a file structure there.
Just download the rom for the version that your device is unzip it and manual flash each one to the correct spot except recovery flash the twrp and then reboot and let me know look at flash file.xml to see where to flash each IMG and bin to make shur you download your rom and not another one for the same device but different carrier what it sounds like to me is happening is you downloaded the wrong ROM when you tried to do a force update
Send me a screenshot of your about device screen please I might need to make a change to a few things to get it working
I'm stuck in a boot loop right now. WIll the output from fastboot getvar work?
What carrier do you have
Download your rom first then follow my last post to get it back out of a bootloop

It's an unlocked phone, no carrier, no SIM. I did the factory reset with the Lenovo rescue tool and sent you the screen shot of the device info page.
Update - svoc has spent a crap ton of his personal time trying to help me with this. I've learned a bunch and wanted to publicly acknowledge his willingness to go way above and beyond trying to get this working.
I don't understand why I can't get twrp to boot I'm not for shut what the problem is if any one has any idea please let me and I will try
Big thanks to svoc for all the phone calls and troubleshooting my device, that is apparently possessed by at least 3 demons and a donkey. There are two links below. The first is the link to the intstructions that worked.
The second is to the compressed file that gave me a degoogled android. It's really, really basic and you'll have to side load the app store of your choice onto the device but it works.
*NOTE* I have not used a sim card or tested the cellular capability. If you do the things below and it doesn't work, reboot to bootloader and flash the radio.img with the one from your stock rom, which can be obtained from lolinet.
Any custom ROMs out there for Moto g play 2021 (guamna)?
Can't find any custom ROMs for this device. I guess it is too early. I'll probably have to get another phone. Can't even find a twrp for it. New to this. Any suggestions?
