Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this, and I was told before I start getting into ROMS that I need to run this software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
So I followed each and every step, and my phone rebooted and it said "Unlocked" like it was supposed to. BUT, when it booted into the OS, it booted into the stock OS as if I had just bought it off the shelf. Additionally, I am seeing a little exclamation point and android character when I go to the Android Recovery option under fastboot (also installed via linked software)
What happened!?
Congratulations, you have just successfully unlocked the bootloader. Obviously you had higher hopes and were expecting bells and whistles, sorry to disappoint but that's it for this step. Next, flash a custom recovery via fastboot (I recommend the RomRacer's version of CWM), and then use that recovery to flash whatever ROM you choose. Instructions for all these steps are available in other threads. Good luck!

I thought when the phone rebooted after unlocking bootloader, it would boot back into the system I had before unlocking it? I flashed the "Tenfar recovery" that was in the automated script. However, when I flashboot into "Android Recovery," this is when I get to the exclamation point/ android character. Is this normal?
EDIT: I just reran the script to install recovery, and it seems to have worked the second time. I ran a backup and saved it on my external SD card, but is this backup of MY system, or of whatever its now booting into after being unlocked?
Ok guys, apparently I've somehow managed to screw this up. I swear I am following instructions completely!
I decided to try MIUI first, and so I made the backup, wiped all the data/cache/etc, and flashed the ROM. Upon reboot I discovered I couldnt get past the Dual Core screen. So, I rebooted into recovery and flash my backup, and have now found out that I cant get past the "Rethink Possible" screen.
Since at that point you haven't flashed anything else yet, the backup you made couldn't be anything else but your "normal" system.
No idea what (if anything) might've gone wrong, but here's something that you maybe didn't know - after flashing a new ROM, the following boot will always take MUCH longer than usual. After that the phone should boot at "normal" speed again. So have patience and give it time.
Also, not sure how come you're stuck at "rethink" screen. As far as I know that's the very end of the boot process, it is shown just before the launcher starts. Still, give it more time. If nothing happens after, say, 5 mins, try booting into recovery and wipe data and cache, then try booting normally again.
I think I may have found the problem. When I go to restore, it runs for a while, and then says "Error formatting /data"
What should I do?
Alright, im at a loss here. I've done everything I can think of. I've tried every restore setting possible, I've wiped everything MANY times, I've flashed a few diff ROMS to try to get ANYTHING to work.
I am utterly confused about why none of this is working. I've read so much info on the forums that my head is just swimming. I never thought this would be that hard.
At this point I'd just like to get ANYTHING working so that I have a usable phone tomorrow.
sounds like you're having lots of fun :laugh: try not to worry... we've all been there to varying degrees
If this was me I wouldn't go down the 'fastboot' method but just stick to accessing android recovery by the 'power off/on, hold volume down when powering on, and then selecting android recovery'
After this you should be into the phone's recovery mode with the menu in front of you? scroll down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and select (by pressing the power button) after this select 'wipe cache partition' and repeat the process.
Then go to 'install zip from sd card' and select this... if you have installed the ROM's correctly you should have a list at the bottom of the 'sd card' list? Select the rom you want and install by pressing power button ect.
Once this has been installed you then need to 'go back' to the main recovery page and then select 'reboot system'
Let us know if this helps... and good luck!
i would add wipe all (data & cache) again after installing!
I would try this:
Power down your phone, go to fastboot mode (Power + Vol-, then find Fastboot with Vol- and confirm with Vol+), connect to computer, then on the computer run these commands:
Code:
moto-fastboot erase -w
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then in the same menu as before, select Android recovery (and confirm with Vol+). When in recovery, try doing restore again.
If that doesn't work either, here's an alternative method to wipe /data from recovery using adb.
When in recovery, connect the phone to the computer and run this:
Code:
adb shell
That should place you in the phone's shell. Now in recovery go to Mounts and storage > Mount /data.
Then in the phone shell (on the computer) run this:
Code:
mount | grep /data
It should print something like:
Code:
[color=red]/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B][/color] on /data type ext3 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
Note the first value printed. For me it's /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 but I'm not sure if that goes for all Atrixes out there, so better safe than sorry.
Now go back to recovery and select Mounts and storage > Unmount /data.
Now back to the computer - run this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B]
Where XX is obviously what you got from the previous command.
When it's done (you get your prompt back), type exit and go back to recovery on the phone. Now you can try restoring your backup or flashing a ROM or whatever.
Solved

This is EXACTLY the process I had been using. I just tried this again with MIUI, and again I got the screen that said MIUI was successfully installed from the sdcard. I rebooted, and now I've been stuck at the "Dual Core" unlocked screen.

As you don't know about fastboot I would suggest you to download automatic bootloader unlock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871, unzip it, you will find img file named " recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4" replace it with romracer recovery you downloaded and rename the romracer recovery as " recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4". Just to be safe even replace the "recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029" with rom racer recovery and rename it as "recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029". Open main and select option 6 and follow the on screen instructions.

Okay, so I did this and then went in and reflashed MIUI and it worked! Of course, now that I think about it, I should've created a new backup or something, but I guess its too late now.
On a side note, where can I find that google apps package?

You will find the link for gapps from thread you downloaded the rom, I would suggest youto flash CWM touch recovery as it will make future flashing easy. Download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475444, and flash it the way you flashed the rom. Try out neutrino Rom if you are looking for fast and battery efficient rom
There are fruitcakes if you want to go back to stock rom.

Hi,
I have the ATT One X+ with ViperXL+ installed on it and TWRP as my recovery. I rooted it using hasoon's toolkit and followed his stpes. Now I would like to switch to Elegancia, just to try it out. Would I do this by simply loading it onto my phone, going into TWRP, and selecting flash ROM? Or is there a longer set of steps to follow? Do I have to flash another boot.img? Additionally, do I have to reinstall all my apps and redownload all my music?
Thank you for answering
Hi Killfire,
Switching between ROM is not that hard, but as for your apps and data you will need a third application like Titanium Backup or My Backup to transfer all your personal stuff from one to another. If you don't have that much application and personal data to restore it's not hard to do it manually.
Yes you have to flash the correspondent boot.img to the ROM you selected. They practically all have something different, so do flash the one recommended in the changelog.
As for your music, that should be safe if you don't wipe your SD card, if your music was transfer from your computer as well.
If you want to change from ROM A to ROM B
Put the ROM you wanna try to your virtual SD card
Reboot in Recovery
Do a full backup of your actual (excluding cache and recovery)
!! The following instruction are with TWRP Recovery installed !!
Select Wipe menu, then select Factory reset (swipe), select System (swipe)
Go back to the Install menu and select it.
Locate your ROM.zip and select it.
Swipe to confirm.
Probably Aroma installer will start, simply follow the on-screen instructions and complete the installation.
Complete installation
Reboot in bootloader mode.
Make sure the FASTBOOT USB is highlighted.
Use the provided tool to flash the appropriate kernel. Or simply do it like this throught SDK/ADB
At the prompt type >fastboot flash boot insert_your_boot_image_name_here.img (Enter)
If Success is achieved, type again at the prompt >fastboot erase cache (Enter)
You now have a customized boot.img installed.
Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time.
Select Reboot with your Volume rocker.
Hit Power button one time.
Your phone should reboot.
So I was on my TWRP recovery and I wiped Dalvik cache and all the other things that I was able to wipe while I was on the TWRP recovery and now my phone won't boot up. It is stuck on the white screen that says, "htc powered by android"
I assume that I probably wiped the os and everything. I can't get access to the TWRP recovery now what do I do?
Hold power, vol up, and vol down. Try that, if that does not work try holding the power button down till the phone shuts off, they hold power button and vol down this should get you into recovery.

Power button + vol down is the button combo for bootloader, not recovery. Bootloader and recovery completely different things, so its important not the confuse them.
Power + vol up will restart the phone (similar to a battery pull on phones with a use accessible battery).
Power+ vol up and vol down is not any button combination for this phone I am familiar with.
Its not clear whether the OP is having trouble accessing bootloader; or if he can access bootloader but not recovery. Again, these are 2 very different issues. You are right, in that failure to access bootloader is almost always a matter of user error in not performing the button combo correctly. If the phone is stuck on the boot splash (which is what it sounds like) the correct sequence would be:
1) Hold power + vol up until the phone reboots.
2) The moment the screen goes black, but before the boot splash screen, let go of the vol up, and press vol down
3) Do not let go of vol down until the bootloader screen appears
Failure to get into bootloader is usually because either the user started pressing vol down to late; or let go of it too early. As long as the screen comes on, bootloader is virtually always accessible.

Of course the phone won't boot. If you wiped /system, the OS is wiped.
If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't be wiping it.
Some folks like to wipe /system before they flash a new ROM for the sake of being thorough, but technically this is not necessary. Flashing a ROM always wipes /system.
But it doesn't sound like you were flashing a ROM. What were you trying to do, and why were you wiping things?
My advice would be to access bootloader as described above, then select recovery. Alternately, use adb to reboot into recovery:
adb reboot recovery
If you still can't get into recovery with either the adb command or from bootloader, its likely that recovery was somehow damaged or otherwise not accessible. Use fastboot to flash it again (boot into bootloader, select fastboot mode):
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(where "filename.img" is the actual name of the desired the recovery file with no quotes, placed in your fastboot folder on your computer)
Once recovery is working again, either restore your nandroid or flash the stock rooted or custom ROM of your choice.

I appreciate your response I'm not even sure what it is that I did wrong. I was just kind of messing around and clicking things. I've learned my lesson the hard way. lol Anyways, I managed to flash the viper one rom somehow lol and now everything is ok.
I am having the same issues. but wiping the recovery cache and all that is mentioned does not work. I flash newest and or oldest twrp via fastboot commands and nothing works. It gets stuck on the white screen with the pink letters for rebooting to recovery, then after a while it just reboots the phone into the OS.

You're talking about a completely different issue now, and not enough details and specifics.
Are you on AT&T?
How long is "a while", is it a year, a month, a week?
Did you change anything (new ROM, etc.) that may have stopped cell service from working; or did it just start happening spontaneously?
Does the SIM work properly on another phone (if available)? Did you try a different SIM (your provider's store might be able to help with that).
No service at all, not even emergency calls possible?
Hello Guys,
I have an issue with TWRP recovery. I can't enter in TWRP from bootloader. I have installed ViperOneM8 5.0.1. and used now for more then one year. I also notice that my battery last just for 8 hours and I think it should help to clean my phone. When I decide to clean my phone I try to enter in recovery and when I chose an option recovery in bootloader it is trying to enter but then it goes back to bootloader. I also try to install new TWRP recovery via usb cable (ADB) and issue stay the same. In the past I enter in TWRP recovery with out any problems. Can somebody help regarding this issue?
Thank you and BR...

What are the specific results when you flash TWRP? Any error messages? Or does it say successful?
What version TWRP did you try? Saying "new" is not enough. I've often seen folks say they used "new" or "latest" and when prompted for a version number, it turns out the version is 2 years old.
What firmware (OS number on bootloader screen)?
Also, try fastboot erase cache, and try to flash TWRP again.

I try to fastboot erase cache, but when I select fastboot I have no option erase cache in bootloader. Only Hboot, Ramdump, reboot, reboot fastboot & power down.

I'd stick with flashing by fastboot command. Apps like TWRP Manager just add a layer of needless complication. Something more to go wrong.
Both those TWRP versions should be okay, I think. But for your OS number, I'd be inclined to stick with 2.8.7.0

Its not a bootloader option on the phone, its a fastboot command you issue on your computer, like the one you used to flash TWRP. Connect the phone to PC, boot phone to bootloader-fastboot mode. Then in command prompt:
fastboot erase cache
Then try to flash TWRP 2.8.7 again, and see if you can them boot into TWRP.
Hi Redpoint,
I try to erase cache via usb cable like I would flash recovery. In cmd cache was erased successfully. I also flash recovery successfully in cmd, but then I can't enter in recovery from bootloader. When I chose option recovery I go back to bootloader. The same as before. Do you have any other hint for this problem?

Hmm, not sure what the problem might be. All I can think of is relock the bootloader (not needed if s-off) and RUU back to full stock image (basically, "start from scratch"), then try to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP again.
For that matter, you can RUU up to Marshmallow (MM) firmware, to get everything up to date. Although you will need to flash the MM firmware first, then MM RUU as described in the red text under RUUs section of my Index thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, keep in mind that RUU will wipe all data on the phone.
What hope for an XT1505?
I have an XT1505 that I bought direct from Motorola as a GSM-only phone in April, I just got my bootloader unlock code but I'm a little confused about what next. I want it rooted, but mostly so I can put Debian Linux on it.
I have UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip but I'm not sure which branch of it, IE what CPU type to use. Spec Device says: Processor: 4 cores; Qualcomm MSM8212 msm8610; Max: 1190.4 MHz; Min: 300.0 MHz. OK, I guess the update-binary script is supposed to handle that. Do I need to install a recovery image? Which one?
I've been following threads about it here for a few months, glad to see the camera bug has been fixed. I'm not a huge Linux fan, started playing with it 20 years or so ago, I've used mostly OpenBSD for 15 years, it's much more stable and reliable. I've built kernels under Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD by configuring and compiling. Mostly I write C these days, know several other languages that I can write with reference book in hand. I'm a retired network administrator from chasing viruses on Windows machines. I view Android phones as just the neatest little pocket computers, don't care much about talking on them. I tether from my phone as my main internet connection, there isn't much else available where I live.
What is wrong with this web site? I've had to close Firefox and reopen it 3 times because it was using 400+ megs of RAM and 70% CPU just on this site alone.
I would flash the recovery first. XT1505 is a global model, which doesn't have LTE, so you need to download the recovery for "otus". I'd recommend TWRP recovery. Flash it via fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_file.img" command and once it's done, boot the phone into recovery and flash the zip with SuperSU.

OK, thanks, I also wasn't sure what the scope of the otus name was, whether it included all the Moto E2 models or not. I see it in "about phone" but here on XDA I only see it applied to other models. I guess nobody in their right mind would own one of these, but I bought it to ship to Africa then ended up keeping it. I've got the LTE version ordered.

Getting to the recovery menu?
I flashed the recovery with TWRP, did it twice and it looked successful each time, at least it says OKAY twice. I think next I'm supposed to go into recovery mode and load the supersu zip. I can get to where the android is laying on his back and there's a triangle with an exclamation mark, but I can't make a menu come up. The only thing that seems to happen is that if I hold down the power switch long enough it turns off, then it boots normally. I've done that 3 times, it seems reproducible, but I haven't found a menu. I've got copies of my supersu zip on both the external and internal SD but no way to use one.
When you get to the Android laying on his back, hold down the power button for about 3-5 seconds. Then while still holding the power button, press and release the up volume button.
The menu should pop up then.

I don't think TWRP installed despite the messages that said it was OK. I'm trying to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and it goes through the motions but always says the full-file signature verification failed. Looking on here I find that TWRP has an option to disable the verification, but I don't see it, that's why I think it's the stock recovery. It looks like this:
Android system recovery <3e>
LXC22.99-13.3
Volume up/down to move highlight;
Press and release power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
----------------------
I'd never seen it before so I don't know if it changed. I did some looking at an FAQ but I don't see anything that helps. I've tried fastboot reboot after flashing TWRP and somewhere else somebody wrote that you have to "press power + vol down immediatly after you 'fastboot reboot'" so I tried that, also wiped the cache.
Got it
I followed a slightly different set of instructions for flashing the recovery. I don't think I can post links yet but it was at androidmtk.com. I had originally renamed my twrp file to twrp.img in case I had to type it, this time I renamed it to recovery.img and it went right in. Same cable, Linux adb and fastboot.
This site has a screenshot of TWRP and it's GUI, not text. What I posted above is stock. You should see 8 buttons if it's working.

OK, rooted, installing Debian Kit. Just wondering, if I relock the bootloader will I need the unlock code forever to unlock it or was that a one-time thing?

Just looked up these instructions in 2018 and used them again on my XT1527, thanks again.

I would flash the recovery first. XT1505 is a global model, which doesn't have LTE, so you need to download the recovery for "otus". I'd recommend TWRP recovery. Flash it via fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_file.img" command and once it's done, boot the phone into recovery and flash the zip with SuperSU.

I need help, My phone was unlocked officially, and I have ZCX TWRP build 28081016 before. Then I flash Nougat ROM (Pure Nexus) from MIUI 8 8.2.3.0 without Wipe Internal Storage. Then it works normally. But since I go back to TWRP, I got Decrypt Data with password there. So I cancel it and then I got 0 Internal Storage. And it back while i text some **** in the decrypt password.
While reboot to system, It also asking password too.
Then I reflashing ROM with Clean Install method (wipe anything) but its still asking goddamn passwords.
Then I go Reboot Recovery again and text any **** password but it works! I got my Internal Storage back.
Then I try to flash zcx recovery build 30122016 (latest version) from recovery. Now I got my recoveries gone. There's only phone with usb cable images. Anything goes wrong (corrupted boot.img or something) here? Is it save if I reflash from PC? How to don't get decrypt sdcard?
I got other problem too. I have changed my splash logo (boot logo) using Google Pixels boot logo here. But I have never come back to Mi splash logo while clean installing MIUI ROM from recovery. Where is my problem here?
And this is my big problem (maybe) (cause I still don't get problems here). Anyone of you facing your Fastboot Logo with tiny Linux Penguin images? I can't go "adb reboot fastboot" here. And I can go to fastboot mode with volume- + power button only. It's not working too with reboot bootloader in TWRP. I guess my fastboot isn't working with Miflash or some ****. But works with adb. How can I get Mi Bunny Fastboot again?
Please help me. and tell me what should I do. Thankyou.

You got your device encryption so remove it
Boot to fast boot volume - plus power button combo then connect to PC
Then use fast boot modified in order to boot into edl
Then flash latest miui fast boot ROM through miflash
Then reboot
Then unlock bootloader flash zcx twrp the hen format data from twrp under wipe option
