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.
Code:
C:\Users\greg\Downloads\root\platform-tools>fastboot.exe flashing unlock
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
OKAY [ 5.301s]

booting FAILED (remote: 'invalid ramdisk address: overlap with the download image')
Finished. Total time: 0.417s
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

Hi all, I have an ATT m9 and received my bootloader bin file for unlocking. I flashed the unlock code just fine and the unlock bootloader confirmation popped up and froze.
There is a green loading bar on top of the message completely full, however i cannot accept the unlock or power cycle my device at all. I have tried holding the power button for more than a minute, fastboot commands, nothing works. Fastboot shows the device when i connect it, but it does not respond to any command.
Here is the terminal output when i flashed the unlock.
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
< waiting for device >
target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes

Now I am just waiting for my FULLY CHARGED battery to die....
What should I do?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried pressing the power and volume up buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds or better?

That worked! Thanks! rebooted, but boot loader still says locked. Should I try again?
Edit: I figured it out. You have to be in download mode to unlock and NOT RUU mode.
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

But i still dont have the bootloader.... no led light , no button combination works :/
Hi, I'm new and I have a question regarding twrp,
i.e. I can enter to TWRP only from the command line when tel is connected to a PC. so it has to be?
on videos on YT I've seen that people go to TWRP when they are in fastboot by the vol + and power keys combination, in my case
when the phone is disconnected from the PC and off I can only enter the fastboot mode (Vol- and power), when I am in fastboot and I click whether it is vol- and power or vol + and power, the phone reboots and enters in eui.
I did everything like this:
Code:
C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

the twrp file has copied it to the main phone folder where there are movies, android etc.
It also created a TWRP folder to which I made a system backup.
By PC, the phone is detected once as x2 when it is in TWRP and once as normal le max2 when it is not in TWRP
I also installed a SUper SU.
I did something wrong?
-------------
ok, I've done it right now, I do not know if it's something that gave me or just went wrong but it works.
I went to TWRP via PC without re-uploading it only with the command Fastboot boot twrp.img and I did it as I read on one of the forums.
When you flash twrp you, do not boot your phone as the system as it will overwrite the recovery. You have to boot first to TWRP and after that you can boot the OS
and now I am entering normally.
My fault could also be based on the fact that I tried enter from the bootloader (power + Vol-) directly to twrp, and then only the combination (power + Vol +) to TWRP and therefore it did not come.
Now with the power off the Power + Vol + immediately off and enters elegantly
Heyyo, yeah pretty much from bootloader you always do..
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
And then use volume up with power button and keep holding that button combination until the phone reboots and shows the word "recovery" on the screen. Then it will Boot to TWRP. :good:

Hey guys,
I have an European LG G5 H850 with an unlocked bootloader. It is my first time rooting, and after unlocking the bootloader, I wanted to boot TWRP once, but I didn't want to install it, but instead keep the stock recovery untouched. So I booted into the bootloader, entered "fastboot boot twrp.img" and I got this message:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.462s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.482s
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. I made sure twrp.img is referring to the correct file, and I tried both the Android SDK platform tools and the 15 seconds ADB installer, but none of them worked. When I try flashing the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", it seems to work because this appears:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (20900 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.471s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.198s]
finished. total time: 0.670s
But when I try to boot into the bootloader again, it just gives me the option to do a factory reset, nothing else. So I assume that something went wrong. I have absolutely no idea what it could be, so please help me. I also asked on reddit, but didn't get any answers so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The "fastboot boot twrp.img" command didn't work for me either, but the keystroke to do a "factory reset" -- which is really a keystroke to enter recovery -- did work. Specifically, I
powered down the LG G5 completely (nothing attached to the USB-C port, or battery pull)
with the power off (preferably via battery pulled), held down the Volume Down and Power/Fingerprint buttons
As soon as the LG logo appeared, released and re-pressed the Power/Fingerprint button, all the while continuing to hold down Volume Down
Held down both while the LG logo showed, releasing them after the white screen appeared asking whether you want to do a full erase. Answer yes (Press and release Volume Down until the Yes is grey, then press Power/Fingerprint button)
It prompts you once again. Answer yes again the same way.
At this point after a few seconds, TWRP starts. It hasn't actually done an erase.
This is important: after fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, you need to pull the battery to power down, and then follow the instructions above to enter TWRP. Do not boot into system with the stock ROM after fastboot. It will replace TWRP with the stock recovery at boot time, and in that scenario, the full erase mentioned above actually does erase data and internal storage.
TWRP will on first start change the system image (once you "allow modification") so that the stock ROM stops replacing it at boot time.
If you did boot up the stock ROM after fastboot, you will need to re-enter fastboot and flash TWRP again (power down with USB-C port clear, hold down Volume Up, insert USB-C cable, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Then pull the battery with fastboot still running, then boot into TWRP as above.
Unfortunately most writeups aren't crystal clear about the correct sequence of steps. Most cover some steps and gloss over others.
You aren't doing anything wrong.
LG did not put the typical Fastboot commands into the bootloader.
Fastboot flash does not work either.
You need to follow the other methods available on xda to get TWRP on your device.
Edit: woops. That's only with H830. Follow the instructions in the H850 TWRP thread.

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

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

VARIANT - QRD eMMC
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - a10b7526
SECURE BOOT - disabled

Is there anyone that can help me on this? Should I take a magnet to the back of the device? Would that help?
