Hello,
I'm trying to install TWRP on my m4 aqua. I already unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Now im trying to install TWRP without success. With a command prompt, my devices won't be detected. And with a install.bat file nothing happens on my phone. The normal adb and fastboot drivers were successfully installed but i can't install the flashtool drivers to start the fastboot mode. Also with the Volume - button the phone boots normaly. So im now trying it with this TWRP app from the teamw.in (can't post the link) website with the modell xperia m but im not sure if it works. Can someone help me ?

Lollipop or Marshmallow? Why can't you intall the drivers from flashtool? It boots normally probably because of missing the drivers. And to enter fastboot, you need to hold Volume UP and then connect the USB. If your BL is unlocked, then you can easily flash the TWRP through fastboot mode. In Command p. Fastboot flash recovery "recovery name".img usually it's recovery.img . But without the correct drivers, your phone will not be recognized properly.

I'm using Lollipop 5.0 on my phone. When i'm trying to install the drivers i always get that error: installation failed. Ahhh Thanks its Volume UP. But after this the led lights blue and then comes the charge indicator. Is it normal ?
I now installed TWRP with a bat file. But with Volume UP and usb cable I don't come in the Menu. And with Volume UP and Power the phone just vibrate a few times.
Hi:
My unlocked bootloader SS2 phone got stucked in Download Mode after successfully installed/flashed AICP ROM
It booted once and when i rebooted to enter recovery got stucked. Tried pushing buttons combos but still stucked in Dmode.

I also have problem after flashing to AICP and sometimes phone (after power off) stuck in Download mode.
Just enter:
fastboot --set-active=a reboot

I have the same problem. I tried to follow your advice, but fastboot in my PC doesn't recognize the parameter (all I get is fastboot help page).
Regards.
EDIT: reinstalled treble v3.1 via OST and it fixed the download mode issue.
thanks!

Code:
fastboot continue

Maybe use other fastboot.
Sometimes you must enter:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=_a reboot
("_a" instead of "a")
BTW. My Aquos sometimes stuck in download mode after installing AICP.
I fixed this by entering:
Code:
adb shell
bootctl mark-boot-successful
Hello, i have the same exact problem. I tried to use adb program to fix this problem, but my laptop couldn't recognize my device. Any other solutions would be helpful. Thanks for your attention! (I'm a beginner in technology, so please forgive me)
What has happend with fastboot? I have a rooted phone with twrp 3.3.1.0.
I have used fastboot commands to flash boot.img and recovery.img for years.
Suddenly out of the blue i can´t connect with the phone in fastboot mode. I have tried everything, all kind of different windows drivers, emma, flashtool, drivers from sony, latest driver form google. but i cant get my phone to show up as a device in fastboot mode using fastboot commands. Are there something that has changed lately?
I can connect in flash mode and adb commands works normal.
Usb debugging are on, and I have tried to boot pc without driver signature check.
I have read topics for several days googling and I simply cant get it to work in fastboot.
Please help.

Hi! I would like to mod my AC2003 upgraded to oxygenos 12.1 (android 12) version AC2003_11_F.13
Could you please tell me the steps to proceed? I can't find a guide that answers all my questions ... Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? Then the recovery and the rom? I would be oriented towards the pixel experience, can it be a good choice? Does it support 2 sims? How to do with the root for the bank's applications? Many questions, and nowhere to start ... Thanks in advance
Copy all important phone data, it will be wiped!
- Download adb platform tools here
- Download adb drivers here
- Enable developer settings -> Enable OEM unlock.
- Reboot into Fastbot mode: Turn off the phone, hold down vol+ and vol-, then power on the phone.
- Connect the phone to the computer, run "fastboot devices". If not recognized, ensure driver is installed in the device manager, install from downloaded adb drivers.
- Run "fastboot oem unlock", accept in the phone prompt, the phone will be wiped!
- Boot again in fastboot, flash the recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery_file".
- Unplug the USB, I found the recovery to not work properly if the usb was already plugged in before booting.
- Boot into recovery mode: Hold Vol+ and turn on the phone.
- Go to Update... Install from ADB, connect the USB.
- In the computer, run "adb sideload rom_file"
- I'd recommend issuing a factory reset after this, just in case.
- NEVER run "fastboot oem lock" with modded system, it'll brick your phone! (Can be fixed, but just don't do it)
- Enjoy
Ex. for Pixel rom:
- Recovery file: PixelExperience_avicii-12.1-20220718-0624-OFFICIAL.img
- ROM file: PixelExperience_avicii-12.1-20220718-0624-OFFICIAL.zip
I wasn't happy with custom roms. Too many bugs. So I also post how to return to factory:
- Download fastboot ROM from here, unzip file.
- Boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect the USB, run "flash-all.bat", it'll take a while, it'll reboot afterwards
- You're now with stock system. You can upgrade to OOS11/12 using the zips from here, also check F.13, copying them to the phone, going to the updater and selecting "Local update".
- Better do OOS10->OOS11->OOS12, just in case! I'd stay with OOS 11.1.11.11, OOS12 is a battery drainer!
- Ensure to make a factory reset when done with updating.
- Now you're stock, you can also relock the bootloader by booting into fastboot and running "fastboot oem lock".
Be aware that you will miss some camera features with any custom rom... Full camera features are only available with the stock rom..
Thats why I moved back to stock rom and debloated all unuseable stuff...
But a custom rom offers many other opportunities that the stock rom doesn't have...

Wow! You wrote the bible for the beginner ... I don't know how to thank you for your patience, now I have a great starting point
I've a problem, fastboot can't see my device... I've installed the oneplus drivers, but windows continues to use Microsoft's drivers. I tried to update the drivers from the device manager indicating as drivers those installed in the Oneplus folder, but windows keeps telling me not to find drivers compatible with an x64 system in that folder. I also tried to disable the digital signature check, without success. This is on both windows 11 and windows 10 PCs. I've also enabled debug usb...
There's no problem using Windows drivers.
Isn't the phone recognized as fastboot device?
Attach device manager screenshot.

After flash recovery, when i go to the recovery mode, i see this mex:
"The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroted and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix"
Fortunately i have solved with msm....
It's a known thing that you can flash on any custom ROM only if you're on oxygenOS 10 or 11 version. Respectively, if you are on android 12, then you first need to flash with unbrick tool (msmtool) anroid 10 (EU/Global/India) or android 11 (India).

Hi,
I am on OS12 stock currently.
At which stage of the guide posted above I need to use the unbrick tool ?
Many thanks
Hi bro.
If you want to flash any custom ROM, then you need to go to unbrick tools thread, download drivers and MSM tool firmware and step by step flash it.
After that flash custom rom you need also with it instruction in the thread.
