Recently, i was on bootloop ... i tried to flash my original recovery and fastboot. But, i accidentally execute the wrong command... Now there's no way i cant get to bootloader or flash something again, any other ways?
A lot more info needed, what device, what was command, etc
The more info the more accurate the help
Tell us more info about the device.
Can you flash anything through ADB or using fastboot?

i flash, fastboot flash boot recovery.img , it should be flash recovery recovery.img
You changed you kernel to a recovery.IMG, try and find a flashable.zip of your boot.IMG and flash via twrp
Although I'm not familiar with this particular device it should allow you to boot to bootloader regardless of kernel, at least any device I have used does this
Is the recovery a custom recovery? If so does it have an option to reboot to bootloader?
Otherwise try
adb reboot bootloader

So, i flashed the recovery*TWRP) to bootloader that made the bootloader changed to recovey, i tried to REboot to bootloader but it always came to TWRP, i boot to recovery it came to asus recovery
.
Boot is the kernel, so there is a chance you are still OK
Try flashing original firmware through factory recovery
http://support.asus.com/download.as...ne 5&p=39&s=1&os=32&hashedid=96nqlxHp1VKV4Rdz
I tried to flash the same firmware via ADB sideload, but it said " Only with android 4.4.2 that you can updrage to android 5.0. E:Erron in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7).
It looks like there are downgrade instructions in each firmware download, try this method out

Hi Guys ..
I screwed up while flashing the unofficial slim rom on my htc one x. The device was already rooted and on twrp custom recovery.
I forgot to flash boot .img and directly tried flashing the rom , which failed. After that I can't access the previous rom nor recovery. The device only goes into bootloader and if I try to get into recovery I get a black screen . I've tried flashing both cwm and twrp via fastboot but can't get into them.
The device is stuck in the htc screen only . I tried flashing an ruu but it says there is an error due to incorrect ruu id . I guess it will be as my one x is s-on . Is there a way to get to s off via fastboot ?
Any help on getting my phone working again will be very much appreciated . I've attached a screen shot of the boot loader which has some details.
Please help! !
Thanks

So do you have a X or X+ device?
You can't enter recovery anymore? What recovery.img did you use and where did you download it? We need some more detailed information on what you did exactly.
And yes, RUU most probably doesn't work because of incorrect CID (can't change CID without S-OFF) and/or because your HBOOT version is too high (not allowed to downgrad without S-OFF).
I have an x+ device . I used twrp initially and later tried flashing both twrp and cwm via fastboot.
I can't enter recovery anymore . All I get when I select recovery from the boot loader screen is a black screen .
So now I need to flash a rom via fastboot only .. As I can't access recovery. Is there any other recovery image that I can try ?
Also is there any other option besides an ruu at this point?
Thanks

Try "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing recovery again. Also make sure you've got the right recovery.img for HOX+.

We can't mount internal memory while in recovery. You need to use "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0" when in recovery or "adb sideload rom.zip" (you must enter sideload mode in recovery first).
So I am stuck on TWRP 2.7.1.0 and i am running slimrom 4.4.4 on a c6833 and the reason for this is because it's the only thing that will boot on my phone. There was some intense trial and error a few months ago and a few days with a bricked phone but I finally got it running again, and I am nervous about messing things up again.
I am wanting to move to a more up to date ROM either scrubber port 5.1 or remix 5.1.1, but they both ask for updated TWRP to install. And I can't update TWRP using the TWRP tool from the store. It downloads but when it tries to install it says there is a problem. Previously, trying to update TWRP would result in SONY bootloops. I was about to try the dd method but just wanted to make sure it was safe.
I am a bit of an idiot (I got rid of my encrypted keys on day 2 of owning the phone) so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The easiest way is to use Rashr. It should set everything up automatically. You may then reboot to recovery from the ROM, or by holding Vol- when the LED turns purple on boot-up.
If that doesn't work, for whatever reason, try dd or Flashtool. Using Flashtool, you can flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img with the phone in Fastboot mode.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Used Rashr...and now I can't get into recovery. I can still boot into my phone, but booting into recovery just fails with a yellow LED?
So Rashr still says I have 2.7.1.0 installed. :/

Alright, you likely need a newer kernel first. Using Flashtool, you can flash this boot.img (newest AICP kernel) to the boot partition using the Fastboot mode (or use fastboot manually from the Flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"). At this moment, you'll no longer be able to boot into the ROM, so make sure you've done all necessary backups and are ready to install a newer ROM. Then use Flashtool/Fastboot to flash the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img file to your recovery/FOTAKernel partition ("fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img"). You should be able to enter recovery now.
Awesome thanks! Will I need to do this each time I flash a ROM? Or can I just jump from something like scrubber to something else?
I know this is an old thread but is that the boot image I need to run TWRP 3? If so, can I do this via dd?

Don't use install img option on twrp it may not work always
Instead of that you can flash recovery using fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery (the name of recovery).img) command

I solved it, I first must install Repack boot with "fastboot flash boot ...img"
After install recovery with "Fastboot flash recovery ...img"
My error Because I should read this first...

Note that the Z2, like most other Sony devices does not have a proper bootable recovery. As such you have to install a kernel that includes a recovery with it. For a time I will try to continue to supply updated stock kernels repacked with TWRP in them. If you are running one of my kernels or have a custom ROM like OmniROM installed, you can install TWRP in the FOTAKernel partition to stay on the latest version of TWRP.

Mirror 1
Mirror 2
To install a stock kernel, boot the device into fastboot mode and then from your computer: fastboot flash boot path/to/filename.img

However is it true? With latest updates there was bootloader update which brings (or at least should as Sony said) /recovery partition (or more gives access to it, coz partitions was probably always there).
However how it exactly works? I always thought that onee flashed update with newest bootloader will leave new bootloader and this partition forever. But I got Z2 with .291, downgraded it to 4.4.2 for Root and TA backup and than tried to flash recovery to recovery partition, but got error: FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)).
Does it mean that only on latest update(s) there is possibility to use this partition?
Never tried it on my ZU before. I just started form latest 5.1.1.
EDIT: OK, so what i assumed was right - on 6.0.1 I was able to flash the recovery to it's partition.
Now the problem is with booting into it. How? With Power + Vol- it still stright to boots to OS...
EDIT2: adb reboot recovery boots to different bootloader screen (Power+Vol- gives SONY screen and adb gives SONY + XPERIA screen.
However it still boots strght to Android...
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have 23.5.A.1.291 + unlocked bootloader + TWRP 3.0.2-0 (official) flashed with fastboot flash recovery img.
I'm 100% sure that SONY screen (w/o XPERIA) is the right one as I have identical one on my ZU when booting into bootloader-recovery mode. But why here it don't boot TWRP, but OS?
HELPPPP
Pleaseeeee tell me how did you flash twrp 3.0? I have tried almost everything it now seems impossible for me... Pleaseee helpp me T_T ... Thankk youuu
Hello
I recently bought a new device (lollipop version) and I've rooted it successfully so I decided to flash a custom recovery because I want to back up my OS before I start flashing xposed framework.
So I searched the net for a custom recovery for my device (Infinix hot 3 x554) and I found one, then I flashed the custom recovery using mobileuncle root and I reboot into recovery and nothing changed my stock recovery was still there, then after booting my device I flashed the custom recovery again using flashify and I reboot into recovery my phone just booted normally instead if taking me to recovery mode, now my stock recovery isn't there anymore, please I need assistant on how to fix this.
My device: Infinix Hot 3 x554
Version: 5.1
Kernel Version: 3.10.72+
Build Number: x554-W90918-A2-L-20160607
I used kingroot to root the device.
Thank you
It seems your recovery partition restores itself or there are specific scripts in your boot.img which restores stock recovery when detects modified recovery. You must install it via fastboot.
Obtain fastboot and run this command (You can have it with Android SDK or you can find it in Google too.).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *filename*.img
But you have to be sure you have proper drivers for your device.
Okay, but I did some little research about how to flash recovery and I saw something about unlocking bootloader, so could it be because I haven't unlocked my bootloader that's why it didn't work?

Yes. You need to unlock bootloader before flashing custom recovery. Locked bootloader prevents modify stock partition.

So after I unlock the bootloader, should I use flashify to flash the custom recovery or I should just use PC to flash it

Hi everyone,
I tried to install Lineage OS on my Xperia Tablet Z Wifi and followed the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pollux_windy/install
I am on Ubuntu and I did unlock the bootloader successfully. Then I tried to flash twrp but this is where things went wrong.
After entering
Code:
fastboot flash boot ./twrp-3.5.2_9-0-pollux_windy.img
the device did not start anymore. I can still enter fastboot mode and the device is recognized on the PC but else the only thing that happens is the LED blinking red.
Any ideas where to go from here are appreciated.

you flashed recovery to boot. So only recovery exists in boot section.
Of course tablet won't boot afterwards, as there is not kernel.
Download custom rom you want to install, unpack boot.img from roms zip files and flash via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards enter recovery and flash custom rom zip, gapps or whatever you need.

I tried this but flashing the boot.img does not change anything unfortunately.

You can reflash stock ROM via Flashtool v.0.9.18.6. or flash another boot.img to check if it boots or not.
Thank you, this worked for me.
Should have used the right twrp form the beginning. flash to boot works if it is the right version in my case scorpion_windy
