Hi ,
I'm a noob in this and i need help ... i searched some guides on this forum , but i dont understand much from them i get stuck at one point ... That's why im asking for help.
How do i install a custom recovery on my tablet to then get root access ??
Currently what i did is got the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Wifi IMG from TWRP , then went to the adb folder and opened command prompt using Shift + right click > Open a Command Prompt Here.
I then went to flashboot mode in my tablet ( i was holding volume up , then connected my tablet to the laptop) , a blue LED light showed up.
I typed "fastboot devices" in the command prompt , and it gave me a code so i knew the device was recognized . I then placed the TWRP img into the adb folder and renamed it "twrp" (because it was named twrp-3.0.2.0-scropion_windy.img) and typed in the command prompt "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
i got this in return :
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (12316 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.390s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.398s
no recovery tho , cant enter it i heard that you need to press a key when a purple led shows up , but there's no led and even if i try a button combination , it wont work.
Pleaseeee help me guys!!! i really want root access
btw im using the adb from the android studio file
EDIT:
I re-locked my bootloader and then UNLOCKED it again.... and now it says this :
target didn't report max-download-size

I updated to Project Spectrum 1.1 then tried to flash SuperSU from the stock recovery. No idea why I thought this was a good idea.
Now the phone gets stuck on the "Oppo - powered by android screen" and the recovery gets stuck on the charging screen, but indicates that it is not charging even when it is.
I can get it into fastboot, but can't actually do much with it...

I have tried fastboot from both Gentoo Linux (android-tools 5.1.1_p13) and Windows 10, using the ADB and Fastboot installer v1.4.3
It seems that phone is bricked.
I had the same situation with my R5 and the only way to get in life again is to use an unbrick tool provided by oppoforums .
You can ask Ricky at oppoforums.
Ricky is not replying after six days. Do you still have the tool?

Problem
Hello. I have the same problem and Ricky doesn't reply. Can i have this tool for unbrick my phone?
OnePlus X (Onyx) - Soft bricked
Boots into Fastboot mode, gets detected by PC.
No OS, No Recovery.
Problem: Recovery gets flashed successfully using adb and fastboot. But when trying to boot into recovery using commands, it says FAILED (remote:dtb not found); and when trying to boot into recovery using physical buttons, then it just stays on the OnePlus boot logo till eternity.
I tried using a flash tool as well(got from XDA), but the result is same.
Here is a look from cmd:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot reboot-bootloader

I tried flashing twrp 2.8.7.0(onyx) but still I got the same error. (remote:dtb not found). No matter what, but it just won't boot into recovery.
How it happened:
Long back, I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp recovery and also achieved root access. Then I flashed CM13. It was working quite fine. But then OOS 3(Official) came out for OnePlus X, so I decided to download it and flash it too. It was working all fine. But then I realised that I lost my root access and my recovery was changed back to stock OnePlus recovery. After that I tried for 2 days to flash twrp back, but I continued to get that (remote:dtb not found) error. It was quite desperate; then I thought to lock the bootloader back and unlocking it back again. But the moment I used the command "fastboot oem unlock", my phone didn't ask me for a yes or no, so I tried restarting it. But it was too late, my phone got soft-bricked till then. I am trying to fix this since days, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!

Hi all,
First of all, sorry for my english...
I've got a problem to root a phone.
I followed this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-ulefone-armor-2-easy-rooting-t3780055
But I just realized, it's for ulefone Armor 2, while I try to root a Armor 2S..
I followed instructions, but I've got a problem on the point 2.

After few test, who doesn't work at all, I've decide to reboot my phone.
Now, It's stuck on the main screen with this text :
Code:
Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your device will boot in 5 seconds.
And after 5 seconds, the screen go black for one second and return to the message.
And I can't go to recovery mode anymore. Volume+ and Power button don't do anythong but show this "Orange state" screen.
Please tell me there is a solution to unbrick this phone..
Thanks in advance
Try to relock again bootloader with command : fastboot oem lock maybe it can fix that issue but do at your own risk !!!
Thank you for your answer, but the phone is not recognized by the computer at this point.
I can not send command from the PC (adb or fastboot)
Try some key combination keys like :
hold Vol + and plug usb
hold Vol - and plug usb
hold Vol + ; Vol - and plug usb
If that doesn't work , let your battery to be completely empty 0% and repeat process . Good luck
I want to install lineageOS on my Xperia Z5C (I followed these instructions: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/suzuran/instal) . The problem is that my phone won't boot into recovery (bootloader is unlocked), after I flashed the recovery onto the phone (I downloaded the suggested recovery file from this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-3-1-0-z5-z5c-z5p-t3571050) .
Flashing the recovery file on the phone seems successful to me, because in the Terminal this is displayed:

I tried to boot into recovery with all 3 methods known to me: with key combination power on + volume down; via adb with adb reboot recovery and with the quick reboot app. Every time the phone is just booting into android again.
I tried to find people reporting the same problem but I was not really successful.
Hi guys.
New to the forums. I know that there are three threads that already detail what I am asking for. I just don't get it. I try to follow one of them and it says "run Qfil; install QPst." I would be happy to do that, but I just do not know where they are or how to run them.
Then one of the twrp files (whatever that is) has been taken down because of "gross violations." I cannot figure out how to do what the threads say to do.
Can someone please tell me how to root this thing? Step-by-step. With all the downloads. Thanks for your help.
Feel free to close this thread when a response appears.
Can someone please respond to this now that it is in the correct forum?

Thank you very much. I am starting there!
Help
I followed all instructions. I cannot get a twrp to load.
Good instructions, but I had these problems.
1. There is no link to a TWRP file. I use the link shown, and I get "Stock April Patch" from mediafire. None of the files here have TWRP in the filename.
2. I did go to https://rootmygalaxy.net/root-twrp-umx-u673c, a similar site. It did have a link to a TWRP file to use. Your instructions are identical.
So I turn off the device. I turn it on with power and volume-up button. The device goes to Mr. Android lying down with the message "No Command." I look at some other sites, and it tells me to hold power, and press power-up.
This takes me to Android Recovery menu. On Windows cmd line (ADB and Fastboot folder), I type adb reboot bootloader. The Windows screen responds no device/emulators found.
So I select option on the Android to Reboot to Bootloader. The device boots into FASTBOOT MODE with START at the top. I imagine that this is what the above command is intended to do. For fun, I type the same command above in Windows, and I get the same response. But when I type fastboot devices , I get the device serial number (as shown on the START screen) and the word fastboot.
I imagine the device is ready to install TWRP. I use the TWRP file that I downloaded from the other page (remember, yours and their instructions are identical). I type fastboot flash recovery twrpname.img in Windows, and I get this set of messages:
target reported max download size 26214400
sending 'recovery' (20220 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.650s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.668s
Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

IMO you didn't do anything wrong.
To me it seems that OEM/Carrier did not put the typical Fastboot commands into the boot-loader.
BTW:
To test the TWRP recovery without permanently flashing, run the following:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot boot twrpname.img
Follow up
Thanks. When I type that code, I get...

Does it matter that I have no SIM card in this device. on the START screen, I have this...
Press volume key to select, and press power key to select
FASTBOOT MODE (in red)
PRODUCT_NAME - MSM8909
VARIANT - QRD eMMC
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - a10b7526
SECURE BOOT - disabled
DEVICE STATE - unlocked (in red)
Is there anyone that can help me on this? Should I take a magnet to the back of the device? Would that help?
