Restore Note 2 to Recovery and Stock ROM - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Note 2 with TWRP and CM 12.1.
How can I restore my phone to normal Recovery (Mi-Recovery 2.0.1) and the stock ROM (7.5.1.0)?
I was able to remove the TWRP and restore the Mi-Recovery 2.0.1, but now on PC I don't see the device to add content to it.
Using MiPCSuite in Mi-Recovery mode give me "Reading device information failed"
Using MiPCSuite in FastBoot mode give me the chance to update, but I receive the message "Couldn't flash device"
Some help will be appreciated,
Thanks!

Reinstall TWRP recovery, and flash stock rom via it and then just restore MI-recovery.

Couldn't get root access error on miui 8 china developer beta 6.63

getting the following error 'Couldn't get root access-root rom isn't ready,please wait a moment', when trying to use the allow root access tab in security>permissions>allow root access . Is this normal for everyone? Is there another alternate way to enable root?
Yes, you need twrp recovery and BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
If you don't want to flash the custom recovery permanently you can use:
fastboot boot recovery.img
And the twrp recovery will appear. After installing of the zip file and reboot, the stock recovery will take its place.

This version is 2.74. I can't find 2.71, but it may do the job
tried it, after flashing the zip ,the phone got struck in the mi icon during boot. had to flash my backup.

With 2.71 there is no problem with this.
Obviously not every version works with every phone.
For example mi 4 is rootable only with 2.65
hmm everytime i try to enter twrp, even if i dont do anything and reboot it will boot struck at mi logo......maybe the dev rom beta just dont work well with twrp.....
Check to see if the bootloader is locked again.

[CM13 post-MM] Flashing in TWRP auto-reboots phone into recovery - help!

I was running the 8/3 update of Cyanogenmod 13 just fine on my L24. I downloaded the 8/13 nightly from the CM website and tried to flash it, but for some reason it returned error 7, which shouldn't happen because I already updated to EMUI4/MM firmware two weeks ago (as evidenced by me running the 8/3 version with no problems). However, when I then tried to boot back into system, the phone instead booted back into TWRP. Trying to boot into system in any way (from TWRP menu, through bootloader --> fastboot reboot, et cetera) just reboots the phone right into TWRP again. -_-
Now, I can access only TWRP and bootloader, but whenever I try to flash a .zip in TWRP it immediately reboots back into TWRP. I've tried reflashing TWRP (newest version and older versions), flashing the Cyanogenmod recovery for kiwi, factory resetting, and even reflashing the stock recovery and trying to return to stock EMUI. None of these have worked. (And yes, of course I've tried clearing cache/dalvik.)
At this point I'm just looking to actually boot into system...If anyone has any idea how I might be able to fix this, it would be great.
EDIT: to clarify, when I try to flash the ROM in TWRP, I get the following:
updating partition details
full selinux support is present
MTP enabled
and then an immediate reboot. This is very fast - I had to take a video of it and then freeze the frame to see what the message was.
Boot in fastboot and install your crap? Turn phone off connect to your PC hold Power and volume down until it boots.
Thanks for responding!
Could you explain what you mean? I can easily get into fastboot, but I'm not sure what I should be installing. Trying to install the ROM gives me the android-info.txt/android-product.txt missing error, which makes sense because it's not a fastboot ROM. What file should I be installing through fastboot?

Again, the issue is that I can't install any ROM through TWRP, because trying to instantly reboots the phone and brings me back into TWRP. I've tried reflashing TWRP, but it doesn't do anything.
Update: I fixed it! For some reason TWRP was recognizing my SD card up until I started flashing. I just put the ROM in my internal storage instead of the SD card, and then the ROM was flashed with no problems. Thanks to those who tried to help me out!

The phone is known to be finicky about sd cards. Try formatting it with TWRP

Issue - Flashing stock recovery & bypassing FRP

Obtained phone with buggy touchscreen. Flashed CM to see if it fixed it. Didn't. Trying to go back to full stock for return
Recovered stock device via TWRP then installed what I thought was a stock recovery.img, except it wasn't - it was a CM recovery
The CM recovery only lets me boot to recovery or the bootloader - no other options are functional
In the bootloader the FRP is locked and doesn't let me flash TWRP or stock recovery
What should I do to replace the CM recovery with TWRP or stock when the FRP is locked?
THanks

I have just now read your post thoroughly you said that the touchscreenis buggy,is it twrp or in the system
If it's twrp don't worry I too have the same problem in the version I tried eg. 3.0.2.0,3.0.1.0,3.0.0.0
But if it's in system try factory resetting
And change smart power saving mode to performance
But to unlock frp(i suppose you have already unlocked your bootloader) just go into developer options and enable OEM unlocking option
Ok I got the stock recovery back:
I booted into the bootloader and used the local command window to fastboot boot a twrp image from my computer
With TWRP booted (but not installed) on my phone I put in a sd card with a stock recovery image, and used the booted TWRP to install the stock recovery
Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to relock the boot loader, but hopefully they overlook/don't care about that for a return - I did not root the phone
U can relock bootloader in honor5x
I think I have a similar problem. I bought new KIW-L24, I unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp to go to RR Nougat ROM. When I started Twrp to install ROM it said "Comparing tarz 2.2 to 2.5" so I read that I had update to MM.
I went to settings>updater and started update to M331 EMUI 4.0 ROM on the twrp recovery instead of stock recovery. I have M331 ROM now but I can't fastboot the TWRP recovery anymore. It sat twrp installed successful but the EMUI Stock recovery opens up when hitting Vol. + and Power instead of Twrp.
I noticed fastboot menu shows Phone unlocked but it does not say FRP Unlocked anymore. Does that prevent me from installing custom recovery now? Please...any help is appreciated.

Can the frp relocking stop me from flahing twrp? Or is it this stock rom I am on? Do you know if other people have problems flashing twrp on L24 B311 MM update? Could I have caused my issue when I updated to the official rom using the twrp? I didn't think the update would work without stock recovery but it did. I did factory resets but I still can't install install any custom recovery. Can I go back to earlier stock rom?
I followed your instructions and deleted Google accounts and factory restored. I go to bootloader and it says Phone Unlocked but does not say FRP unlocked anywhere. I flshed twrp anyways and although cmd window shows it flashed OK when I reboot the stock EMUI Recovery opens again.
Edit: Now I use adb and mfastboot.exe to open twrp and do a backup. I don't know if I install a different rom if I will able to finally install twrp. I wonder if this 331 stock rom is the problem or FRP is issue here. Never had this problem with my Gold Honor 5X.

Ok. Ive never done this this way. When installing Twrp image it asks where to install? Select Partition to Flash image: Boot, OEMinfo, or Recovery. Do I just press Recovery only?

Select only recovery
ok I installed image, chose recovery, and installed superSU_2.46.zip but it still only boots up EMUI Stock recovery. Unfortunately its stuck in bootloop now so now I cant even adb/fastboot into twrp anymore. Now my only option is holding vol +- and Power to install update from sd card (dload folder). I just dont kmow what FW file to use.

I ended up trying everything. I held volume - and Power to force Fastboot&Rescue Mode. I did fastboot boot twrp_kiwi.IMG. When in Twrp I install twrp_kiwi.IMG (For permanent Install) but EMUi recovery still stays.
I believe the custom recovery is installing but NOT where it needs to install.(Probably a different partition). I noticed a erecovery when I extracted an update file with HuaweiExtractor with does program. I DID get out of Bootloop by applying update from SD card (Force Update Volume - and Plug in USB cable). I rolled the FW back to B130 Emui 3.1 Firmware. I still need to fash Twrp and update this phone now.

[TWRP][montana] Squid TWRP for Moto G5S

This is my version of TWRP built for the 2017 Moto G5S. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.
Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:
My original green theme
No SuperSU
No TWRP app
No HTC Dumlock cruft
Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)
To temporarily boot this recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
To permanently flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The download is available on the downloads tab.

Hi,
i just flashed your TWRP. The flash was successful, after booting to recovery twrp came up just fine. I wiped /data to decrypt, then rebooted the phone... Now it seems either bootlooping or bricked.
(Of course i unlocked the bootloader before flashing)
The phone just shows the bootloader-screen (blue background, red M-Logo, white letters "powered by android") with a small text in the middle "bad key).
Nothing happens. I cant even shut it down. Holding the power button for 10 seconds seems to start a reboot (screen goes black) but the bootloader-screen immediately shows back up and stays. Theres nothing i can do, no adb/fastboot access either...
Any suggestions?
Edit1:
AH! Pressing VolDown + Power gets me to fastboot/recovery... Phew. Guess i flash the stock rom first before proceeding any further.
Edit2:
Succeeded, nice!
Hi,
I flashed this TWRP. After flashing I went to recovery mode. Format Data failed as /data unknown. Flashed stock ROM. Again flashed TWRP. This time it just bootloops into TWRP recovery. When I power off and ON again, it bootloops and goes into TWRP recovery again and again. Any idea what could be wrong? My guess is I screwed up partition table. But not sure.
Thanks
KS
I went through flashing stock ROM, TWRP once again. After flashing TWRP, I went to recovery repeatedly and did 'Format Data' every time. I flashed Magisk. System booted fine. I verified by power off/on several times. Seems to be working fine.
Thanks
KS
Thanks for your hard work at bringing TWRP to the MOTO G5s.
It took me a while to install it on my XT1797, as there was some strange message during boot which said
ID: Bad key
But after many many times bricking and unbricking, I am now finally rooted using Magisk.
Hope that we can see some custom Roms for this great device soon.
I tried it with XT1797, but I can not boot and flash twrp.
Is this twrp compatible with XT1797?
hello, your bootloader and unlock it?
did you enable USB debugging?
that you put the fastboot cmd?
Hi . Thx for You job . My phone stil a live But I have a question .
how about this one ? At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda

What is the question? For me it worked without such vertiy disable stuff. Simply unlock the bootloader, boot and/or flash TWRP, root your phone or do anything else. When TWRP asks to change /system, answer yes.
Root and TWRP. And a great phone.
Just need some Roms, pray that they will come!
Thank you!
