Hi all,
I want to install TWRP but everytime I try to reboot to bootloader ("adb reboot bootloader" command), it's only restarting the phone just like a normal restart. Is there any other way or steps to take before reboot?
I'm on F600L20e (MM), OEM unlock and USD debugging are active on setting.
Thank you
Are you on lollipop or marshmallow?

Try the command 'adb reboot recovery'

I also had trouble rebooting into bootloader. Adb reboot bootloader didn't work for me, even though I have the European H960A variant.
I used the instructions from this thread.
The hardware method where you have to use POWER + VOL DOWN buttons worked for me after a few tries. The crucial thing was to release the button in between I think.

I'll try those if I have a chance, can't do that at the moment.
I think I can help with that . There is thread already how to do it here on xda but its not that clear . Few things are overlooked and not explained thoroughly .

I got stuck little on beginning and after reboot bootloader command . So I'll explain with more details My way = Easy way .
Step 1. You have to have ADB fastboot Installed and lg Driver installed . Follow this link and install adb bootloader . https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 Follow this link to install LG Driver http://lgusbdriver.com/windows/lg-usb-driver-v4-1-1-0 After you install adb there will be folder in your " My Computer / Local **** C " called adb .
Step 2. Unlock bootloader . This link will help you http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0702 Follow all instructions and ignore adb install instructions ( You done that already )
Step 3. Download recovery from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/recovery-twrp-v3-0-2-0-unofficial-t3387783 and save this recovery in adb folder that was created when you installed adb and unzip it there into root folder of adb . Also Download super su and put it on sd card of your phone .
On your phone in developer options make sure your adb debugging is activated . And OEM unlock is enabled .
Step 4. Connect your phone and make sure it is set as file transfer and not battery charge or anything . If the phone asks you to allow pc to connect confirm it .
Step 5 . Open your adb folder in c and Holding SHIFT Right-click anywhere ( blank space ) inside that folder , when menu pops up click on Open Command prompt here ( or open power shell window here ) . When it opens go in it and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and hit enter . Your phone will reboot leave the command window open ..... Now THIS is where some people get stuck ! Some pc's don't recognize the phone anymore and they can't flash recovery . This is what you do . Go to DEVICE MANAGER and you will see your phone connected with yellow exclamation mark . It will be either android device or unknown device or usb device , I don't remember . Right click on it and choose update driver , menu pops up go to Browse my pc for software , go to Let me pick from a list of available drivers , go to adb interface ( I think android adb will work too ) click install . When it's done your LG will be recognized by pc once more . go back to command window and type in ( Or copy Paste )
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img
and hit enter . When it's finished , you have to pull battery out .
Now put the battery back in and PUSH AND HOLD POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons together . When you see LG logo release the POWER button for one second while STILL HOLDING VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then push POWER button again . When your phone comes back on again release buttons .Your phone will have white screen asking you if you want to factory reset your phone . ( If you got confirmation on your command prompt on your pc that your recovery was installed it will NOT wipe your phone ) Push YES It will ask you if you are sure push YES again and your LG will restart in TWRP . There you find settings , change storage to sd card and go to main menu , install zip , choose SUpERSU , reboot you are done . Works on Lollipop and Nougat same . I hope I helped .

Dear Community,
I got my Note 3 Pro Snapdragon Version today and I tried unlocking the bootloader, installing root and TWRP.
Unfortunately after I installed TWRP, WiFi didnt work anymore so I wanted to go back to where I was before.
i tried flashing the GlobalRom with the MiFlash Tool but somehow I'm now stuck with a bootloop.
The phone starts up and shows the MI Logo but doesnt go on. I tried booting TWRP temporarily via fastboot commands so that I can try to flash flashable zip files
but it doesnt let me execute "fastboot boot xyz.img" anymore because my device is locked.
I would really love to hear any solutions or ideas. I dont want any root or something anymore. If someone has an idea Im very happy!!!
thanks a lot in advance and tell me if you need any more infos

1. keep vol + and vol - pressed while connecting USB to enter adb mode
2. check if phone is connected with "adb devices" in command line, if phone shows up, enter "adb reboot edl"
3. now you can flash via MiFlash

First of all, HUGE thanks for your fast answer!
Unfortunately I couldnt get this to work. Since I am stuck at the Logog screen here is what I tried:
Pressing both volume buttons while Logo Screen and plugging USB.
Pressing both colume buttons while fastboot screen is up.
These two didnt enter adb mode, I guess because of the bootloop I'm in
I also tried antering recovery mode with volume up + power button. Pressing both volume buttons didnt help either but when I am in recovery like that it shows my device in adb as "sideload" device.
Maybe that helps ? Can you give further advice or am I doomed?
My idea would be: Is it possible to reflash the device completely only usinf fastboot? The only thing I seem to be able to enter is fastboot...
Is there a way from fastboot to "working phone" ?
or maybe through the "adb sideload" state?
thanks a lot in advance!
Paul
EDIT
tried installing via "adb sideload xyz.zip" command but after shortly showing a status bar on phone screen it aborted and said "Total xfer: 0.00x" on PC screen .
Also: I read "adb reboot edl" brings you to download mode so you can flash something. Tried it but the phone just rebooted the normal system, so it stuck on Logo again...
search miui forum for unbrick, there is 2 or 3 method without opening your device
exp: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=257227
Unfortunately they all do not work because they always require either a phone in download mode, and i only get to fastboot and adb sideboard or they require flashing something via fastboot but I can't do that either because it says my device is locked if I try...
Any suggestions how to flash a ROM with fastboot only or with adb sideload?

I Had The Same Issue Brother ! There are only 2 Things which you can do now .
1. Test Point Method to enter EDL
2.Give it to Service Center . I Gave Mine to Service Center ,They Fixed it in 30 mins or less and it was free

I've been facing the same (or a similar?) problem about a week ago but managed to get out. Knowing me for having a head like a sieve I made some notes, sadly quite rudimentary
Did you try to flash with MiFlash after "adb reboot edl"? If I remember rightly after "adb reboot edl" you got the logo like booting another way, but the light is blinking red. Then I could flash via MiFlash.
I'm quite sure that if you get a "reboot" after entering "adb reboot edl", your phone will be in edl mode.
I will try that this evening when I am at home again and report. Thanks

Do you have another idea? :/
How did you unlock the bootloader, via official permission or that unofficial hack?

I didnt use the official way :/ Im so hoping my phone isnt broken. I wish i owuld have been more patient

Only options you have right now are:
1) using test points method which is a but cumbersome and voids warranty if you care about that.
2) go to a xiaomi service center of you have any nearby.
It is hard bricked.
So there is absolutely no option to unlock bootlader via adb sideload or fastboot ?

Apparently, no! Whenever using unofficial methods, read precautions carefully and you missed all as I can see. Wait if someone can help you out.
apply official unlock. then unlock your device from fastboot mode.

That sounds nice and easy. I already applied for official unlock.
But: do you know if u can use the official unlock now? I can only access fastboot and adb sideload mode. Is it possible to activate official unlock from there? Or do I need a working ROM rather?
I would have thought that official unlock doesn't work from fastboot /adb sideload...

I have the same problem. I made the same mistakes as shisaya24. I have followed every procedure for unbricking and nothing works. I even applied for an unlock code and got it from Xiomi. I used their mi-unlock app which requires fastboot (pwr/vol-) but it gets to 50% and bombs out. It states it can't verify the phone. Can anyone please help me??

out of sheer desperation I tried MiPhone again and after a few tries, MiPhone started updating the OS. My phone now works again and I have an unlock code as well.
I was messing with my old tracfone and trying to install a custom ROM on it. I pressed wipe on TWRP and selected advance wipe and selected everything for factory defaults. After this, I restarted and my phone is stuck on the LG logo and won't go past it. I can't even get back into TWRP by spamming the volume up button. I also have a backup image, but what's the point if I can't access TWRP? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Wipe doesn't restore factory defaults, it removes everything. If you wiped system partition there's no Android on your phone, thus no system to boot. If that's the case, you can try to reflash twrp or install original firmware

If so, you need a PC, if it's Windows then download this tool - it's a system-wide fastboot that lets you flash software on your phone. It should also download drivers.
If everything goes OK, boot your phone into bootloader (you need to find the right key combination to do that, could be (phone off) power button+ volume down held for about 5-10 seconds, but I don't really know how it's like with this particular phone).
Go to the folder where you've got your TWRP, hold shift and press right mouse button. From context menu choose "open command window here"
In command window enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it returns your phones serial number it's OK, if it doesn't - you probably don't have proper drivers so look for them
If everything is OK enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your-twrp-image-name.img
If this step is OK you can reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
In the bootloader there should be an option to enter recovery mode which is now TWRP. From there you can flash some ROM.
Alternatively you can get ffactory firmware and flash it with fastboot (that's actually a better option to start with).
I hope that helps

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately, I think that the phone is junk. My phone can't get into boot-loader for whatever reason, and I heard some people post that the phone was designed to make the boot-loader non-accessible. I already tried to flash it with ADB while it starts up, but no device is detected (no USB debugging I guess). So unless I can flash the phone while It's on the LG logo, I can't do nothing.
hi Guys,
3days ago, I decided to unlock my boot loader and root my phone via following the steps from www*youtube*com/watch?v=R4c0fO8Kr_Q[/url]
when i tried to flash TWRP - i was stuck in the boot loader warning screen. i am still able to got recovery but it is not being detected can you help me with this?
Normal TWRP has known problems...
You can try flashing Squid TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...wrp-squid-twrp-recovery-moto-e-lte-t3137649): is a unbloated and optimized twrp for our device.
This situation has appened to me and i resolved by installing that TWRP.

From the video you posted before i assuming you have already installed motorola driver and fastboot or mfastboot.
Here are the steps:
0- Download SQUID TWRP and place it in e.g. C:\ (last version is twrp-surnia-3.2.1-r1.img);
1- Shut down your phone;
2- Press Power Button + Vol Up until you see bootloader screen;
3- Now connect your phone to PC;
4- On PC, open a commad window pront (Start -> "cmd" on research bar, then enter);
5- Cmd prompt;
6- Type "fastboot devices". It should show a serial number: PC has recognized your device;
8- Then type "fastboot flash recovery C:\twrp-surnia-3.2.1-r1.img" last parameter is the path where you placed recovery so change it if you have choosen another path;
9- Wait for 3-4 seconds until the prompt shows something similar to "complete" or "success";
10- Type "fastboot poweroff" and your device shuts down.
Now you have installed Twrp Recovery, if you want access it, repeat steps 1-2 and select recovery from bootloader menu.
If you want install a custom rom i suggest SlimRoms : follow the instructions to download and install this rom.

What process do you follow?
I happened to do it, by copying the recovery file inside the platform tools folder.
Then inside the folder hold shift and right click. It will show an option to open command prompt window or open powershell window here. From there i wrote the commands, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img , and then manually booted to twrp by holding the vol up and power

I followed that process and it did not work, try two different versions of Twrp and it still did not work. I resigne myself, and try to install the RedWolf recovery with the same process, and this time it works! :fingers-crossed: I could finally install another rom. Thanks for the help
Same problem here, really strange. First time I've this kind of problem.
Edit : Ok, problem solved. There is 2 things to do in addition of the main installation process (found here : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/mido/install#installing-a-custom-recovery-using-fastboot )
Firstly, you have to enable OEM Unlocking in Developer option menu. And not only enable USB Debugging. To enable it, click twice on the button "OEM Unlock" (if you click once, it will disable automatically when exiting Dev' menu).
Secondly, once you ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img
, you also have to ran
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img
in order to reboot in recovery mode. Otherwise default recovery will automatically erase and replace TWRP.
These 2 steps are quite never documented, but are mandatory for Mido (Redmi Note 4) !!

So I want access the TWRP through fastboot command( since volume up + power botton wont work) but it's not reconizing the device.
I have USB debug on and I don't know if i have OEM unlock mode on because I can't find it in the developer tab.
I only want to root the device so I can install the google cam.
Any suggestions ?

RR should also have advanced reboot in developer options. You can than simply reboot into recovery.

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is that I have no way of reaching TWRP , If I do the Power+ volume up I will go to the MI-recovery 3.0.
What I do is, I restart the phone and only hold down the volume up button after the screen goes black. That always gets me into TWRP. But I usually use the advanced power menu because that's way easier.
Fixed the fastboot not get recognized on my computer.
I had to disable driver signature verification. Then I installed the proper TWRP version. Now the Volume up + power goes strait to the TWRP.
I am just posting here someone might find useful.
ty all for the help.

Did you forget to boot into your recovery.img after flashing TWRP via fastboot? "fastboot boot recovery.img". A lot of guides stupidly leave that out.

No my problem was that I could not even call fastboot through console because my computer wont recognize the device. If i called "fastboot devices" on the console it would not show any answer. Disabling driver signature verification made my computer recognize the smartphone usb , so all the fastboot commands worked as intended again .
You have driver problems, donwload the latest adb or install a virtual machine with Ubuntu or Debian, after that install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot. Then connect your phone to the virtual machine and access adb from there.
