Hello
A newbie here ...
My new phone "Lenovo Vibe C (A2020)" does not allow me to install any kind of custom recovery on it, I tried the following methods ...
1- SP Flash Tool: doesn't detect my phone at all, even after installing all drivers (Qualcomm, MTK, Etc ,,, ).
2- Adb and fastboot: whenever I try to flash a recovery, it only shows (waiting for a device) command, even after being detected by "adb devices" command, and showing device ID.
3- flashing apps: I used flashify and thrasher, at the beginning they both show a successful flashing process, up until rebooting to recovery, then only shows "Lenovo" logo for a second right before turning the phone off.
that's what i did, any help would be appreciated.
Note: the phone isn't even indexed in the site's database ... I wonder why!
You should unlock the bootloader first after rooting your device
Hello there. I do hope that you can still boot your device normally. If you can, please do make a backup of your rom.
(a) Download and install the latest driver for your device
(b) Download the latest adb and fastboot tool (I recommend Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
(c) Download the custom recovery image. Save/copy it on the root directory of your ADB and Fastboot folder.
(d) In your device, go to settings > developer > enable oem unlocking and usb debugging (which is I guess you already did).
(e) Now open your terminal/cmd: adb reboot bootloader (this will boot your device in fastboot)
(f) In terminal/cmd: fastboot oem unlock (or fastboot oem unlock-go)
(g) Now flash the custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
***I suggest you try first if the custom recovery image works: fastboot boot recovery.img
(h) Reboot into recovery and check if it works.

But how about a person WITHOUT PC? Including me.
I am having a REAL BUGGER of a time with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)!
1. It is not recognized by ADB in Fastboot mode.
2. I suspect it shipped wit a vendor ROM, and I'm trying to flash latest Official MIUI Global Dev (Marshmallow) ROM, but I keep getting errors in MI Flash (screenshot attached).
3. I want to Flash TWRP, BUT ADB isn't working, AND I cannot get to the download page for the cracked bootloader.
4. Seriously considering Resurrection Remix ROM, instead, but most of the above issues still apply.
I am NOT new to custom recoveries, flashing ROMS, ADB etc, BUT I am dealing with a new PC (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, like my old (dead) laptop), and I'm new to this device.
PLEASE HELP. (Quite frustrated)
Fastboot won't recognize adb commands you have to use fastboot.
What you can try is booting into emergency download mode and using my flash to flash it from there. I think it's " adb reboot edl" while the device is on with USB debugging or using the mi updater app ( tap the three dots I think).
I think that this is not the correct section for your question, and i dont know the procedure that you follow but try to follow this procedure:
-Connect the phone at pc with USB cable
-Make sure that debug mode and OEM unlock was abilitate in dev settings
-Copy twrp.img in adb folder
-Shut down the phone and press power botton and - vol buttons for enter in fastboot mode
-Run this commands by terminal open in adb folder
fastboot devices
-If fastboot recognize correctly the device run this command
fastboot fash recovery nameoftwrp.img
-After reboot the device with this command
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboot press immediatily vol + for enter in twrp
Good luck
GOT IT! FINALLY!
-I finally got ADB to connect, and was able to enter EDL through ADB.
-Re-downloaded ROM from web.
-Re-extracted.
-FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY!
-SETUP COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!
-YAY!
(I think the original download was corrupted, somehow.)
Elephone M3 quickest way to UNLOCK Bootloader, ROOT and TWRP (no SP FlashTool) Windows/ Linux.
This is only provided as a guide and/ or an alternative, in case some people find the process of flashing with SP FlashTool for the Elephone M3 complicated (either installing the correct drivers, or correctly using the tool without accidentally wiping Vram, or anything else important).

Windows:
Things you will need:
1. adb and fastboot
2. usb driver for Elephone M3
3. a copy of a correct version of TWRP for the device, copied in the adb and fastboot folder. Rename your TWRP.img file to recovery.img
4. latest flashable supersu.zip (V2.82 and above) and the recovery.img on external SD card.
Process:
1. Install the above.
2. Boot your phone normally, and enable developer options.
3. From developer options enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. Connect the device to computer and enable MTP transfer.
4. On your phone's screen you should see a message with a "key" or "fingerprint", accept the connection.
5. Navigate to the folder you have installed adb and fast boot and copied pre-mentioned file.
6. Open a command prompt navigate to the adb folder (not powershell prompt if you are on windows 10 1703) and type: adb devices
If all is well you should get a number on the left and "device" next to it.
7. type "adb reboot to bootloader". You are now in fastboot.
8. type "fastboot oem unlock". Carefully look the really small letters on the elephone' s screen and confirm. Reboot the device. Really important as after unlocking the bootloader, a factory reset is triggered.
9. Once the factory reset is done, once again enable developer otions and usb debugging.
10. Open a command prompt again and once again get into fastboot mode (as previously described).
11. Type "fastboot boot recovery.img". You should now see TWRP.
12. From TWRP select install and install supersu. Wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.
13. Once boot-up completes and you make sure you have root access (you should), for the last time reboot to bootlader.
14. Again "fastboot boot recovery.img". From TWRP select install, install image, select recovery.img from your extenral SD and flash it to recovery.
If all went well, you should by now have unlocked the bootloader, have your device rooted, and also have a functional TWRP recovery! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Hello everybody
I have already unlocked the bootloader on my Honor 9. That worked. But what does not work is the installation of the current TWRP. I go directly after the instructions and have inserted the Recover.img in the ADB folder and open the execution command with Shift and right mouse button. But under Windows 10 x64 bit the following error occurs after entering "adb reboot bootloader" or "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
"fastboot: The name" fastboot "was not used as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
recognized executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if the path is correct (provided
contain) and repeat the process.
In line: 1 character: 1
+ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
+~~~~~~~
****+ CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (fastboot: String) [], CommandNotFoundException
****+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: CommandNotFoundException
I did it exactly according to the instructions:
2.) Download “adb-fastboot-tool-2016.zip” unzip it Download TWRP recovery.
3.) Rename TWRP recovery IMG file “twrp-3.1.1-0-stf.img” to “recovery.img” and copy to adb-fastboot-tool-2016 Folder.
4.) Open cmd windows in adb-fastboot-tool-2016 folder by Shift + Mouse Right click.
adb fastboot cmd - Install TWRP 3.1.1 Recovery and Root Honor 9 EMUI 5.1
5.) Connect your phone to PC.
6.) Now paste this command on command window and hit enter to reboot your phone into bootloader (FASTBOOT) mode.
adb reboot bootloader
7.) Flash TWRP recovery by this command.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8.) Reboot the device.
fastboot reboot
It just does not work. Can someone help me ?
P.S.
It is only Windows PowerShell in blue. No black input request
Thank you
I suggest you to try with a windows 7 PC
I am new to rooting and never rooted a device before. Need step by step guide to root Redmi note 3 pro. Please help.
What's the variant of your device? Mediatek or Snapdragon?
Snapdragon forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development
Mediatek forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ek-roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development
You need to install TWRP:
Snapdragon variant: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote3.html
Mediatek variant: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote3mtk.html
Download the Android SDK (ADB drivers) from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Quoting twrp.me:
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the simple FWUL adb/fastboot ISO or the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Then root through magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 (Just flash the Magisk-v16.0.zip through the installed TWRP)
Reboot your device afterwards.
