how many you've been tried??
i'm 10 times maybe more.... :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: until i cant remember... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

@ Adista :HV tried twrp cactus from v3.3 to 3.2 all. what version of rom and twrp ar you using. @Ryu--X using adb fastboot methods:
"C:\adb>adb devices

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.

You don't need this, install the TWRP-3.0.3.0 OMFG mod or the LR-Team one and then use the "Sign Boot" patch...

I had a problem of recovery replacement, it happened to me after installing TWRP and rebooting the phone. This is what I was doing:
- Installed TWRP.
- Reboot phone.
- Keep volume up + power booting while rebooting.
- Recovery overwritten automatically.
My mistake was to keep the power button pressed after the first vibration. Therefore, while rebooting when you feel the vibration release the power button and wait for TWRP to start. Just in case, in my phone after releasing the power button it kept in black screen, if you have this, just press once the power button.

Where did you find LR Team for 6a? Or the omfg mod, can't find anywhere.

How to fix?

Hey, if you updated MIUI to Android Pie, install this recovery (includes the batch install file), 100% no bootloops.
Just reboot into fastboot, run the batch file and that's it.

fixed it by re rooting, maybe it didn't like that i did a factory reset between my rooting and attempt to flash recovery.
Working - Confirmed !
Flashed as instructed - worked 1st time.
Thanks !

I did a backup from recovery mode and chose to backup to the sd card. Where is the location of this backup? I think it may be /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup but I wanted to make sure. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

what would "factory reset" in the recovrey menu do to the device? will it void the root and recovery?
and what about hard-reset (buttons combo)?
i'm having crashes for a while and i'm considering theas steps, but i'm a bit scared of the consequences.
Thanks for the hard work on this one, will download and give it a go!

I have another problem. I managed to flash the recovery.img sucessfully (as described) and I can start TWRP. It functions properly, however every time I do a backup (not recovery!) after reboot the TWRP is gone.
How is that possible? Why the recovery partition gets overwriten or damaged by a simple backup?
How do I permanently flash the recovery partition with TWRP without need to reflash it every time?

flash a .zip file (magisk or a custom rom) to fix it
ur backup gets the original recovery of stock rom.. then, if u recovery u lost the twrp, but, if u recovery and reinstall twrp from twrp for .img, u dont lose him..

Thanks, it worked! So the recovery partition won't really (permanently) flash unless you root the device, right? Do I always need to root to permanently flash any other partition, too?

Sorry, I had difficulties to understand you :/
if you make a backup, the backup will also add the recovery stock, so when restoring, it will also restore the backup of the recovery stock, it would be better to install the stock and before the first boot, install the twrp via .img

About Team win recovery project
TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

Hi,
First thanks for your great work.
But I have a problem.
After doing a full backup and doing some testing, I restored my whole backup. The process succeeded. But I am stuck in a bootloop,my phone boots to the point, where I can see the LOS 17.1 Logo, But does not continue. Have waited for 30 minutes a few times now.
I tried the built in bootloop fix, But it does not fix my problem.
Thanks in advance
Good day every one

Hi! I'd like to install TWRP on my Nokia6.1 2018 however whenever I reboot to download mode for whatever reason the device isn't found anymore through ADB and because of that I can't do fastboot devices as it yields nothing and when I skipped it, it just waited for a device forever. What's weird is that it is connected, even windows says that.

While phone is in fastboot mode, open device manager. Locate the unknown device and update its driver. Choose fastboot driver from existing drivers. It will install the driver and will work

Thanks, I had same problem and this is working. Anyway the problem is, I have to do this every time I want to TWRP. Is there any way how to fix this and be able to avoid `flash recovery` part?
edit: removed
Looks like can't decrypt with Android 11. I'm 100 % sure that password is correct. With Android 10 it worked fine.
Are there any plans for updates? Thanks.

Also when I try to boot the recocery I am stuck in the loading screen of TWRP.
any suggestion to fix that ?

The device has 2 boot slots. Try switching with fastboot --set-active: https://www.techmesto.com/possible-fix-nokia-smartphone-stuck-on-download-mode-after-ota-update/
I cannot file the download link for the twrp installer.zip file. I have the image file but cannot find the zip file on the github download site.

How to fix - cannot boot into system after /vendor changed file system (ext2, ext4)

Hi there,
The phone data was somehow disabled for no reason, I tried to enable mobile data and roaming, but it did not work.
In addition,
- "Developer options" was also disabled -- the options in "Developer options" disappeared within second after I entered it and the screen went blank, except "Developer options" remaining on the top;
- centre (homescreen) and right (opened apps) buttons in the navigation on the bottom of the phone were stuck, but left button (return) was still working.
To fix this issue, I booted into recovery mode and tried
- wiping cache and dalvik cache;
- repairing and resizing system, vendor, userdata, cache, dalvik cache partitions;
- (re)mounting the above 5 partitions,
but to no avail.
I checked the debloater and made sure that no system apps were removed via debloater.
I changed vendor partition to "ext2" and back to "ext4". And I rebooted the device to system, which subsequently booted into fastboot mode instead.
How to fix it?
Recovery is still usable.
Thanks in advance.
May you need any further information, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,

Unfortunately, I do not have vendor backup of this OS...
Would it be possible to flash / reinstall
- vendor.new.dat.br;
- vendor.patch.dat;
- vendor.transfer.list;
from the rom
or other ways to fix it?
Why do you have TWRP in first place? Next time backup beforehand, thats the purpose of TWRP
you need to convert into raw vendor.img first
https://github.com/xpirt/sdat2img
Code:
brotli --decompress vendor.new.dat.br -o vendor.new.dat
python sdat2img.py vendor.transfer.list vendor.new.dat vendor.img
then you can flash from fastboot or adb
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
or flash the whole ROM from stock recovery and start from scratch.
python sdat2img.py vendor.transfer.list vendor.new.dat vendor.img
produced an error
Code:
File "sdat2img.py", line 1

maybe wrong line encoding, or that python is too new? can't tell you why it failed. probably not your fault. ask in support thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-7-o-unpack-re-pack-android-dat-files.2978952
meanwhile you can send me link to firmware so I can convert for you.
Following hours of work, I was finally able to reboot into system after flashing vendor.img created by sdat2img.
Thank you very much for your help.

Finished. Total time: 78.368s
But the issues remained in the system newly accessible
- I cannot use data network;
- two buttons (centre and right) at the bottom are not usable either.
I used the same method to restore system.img.
adb push failed
Code:
adb: error: failed to copy 'system.img' to '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system': remote write failed: No space left on device

But even after system.img was restored back, data and navigation bar problems were not solved.
the adb error 'No space left on device' is strange. I guess it tried to copy a file into a dir (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system/system.img) instead of writing partition. maybe some bug in adb. I have never tested. but it seems bootloader is unlocked so you can just flash from fastboot, as you finally did.
you can try to flash other partitions from stock firmware, like apdp, bluetooth, dpo, fsc, fsg, hypod, modem, msadp. exist there some txt or xml file with mapping, partition label = file name?
if that doesn't help, maybe it is related to bootloader unlocking?

In the stock rom, it seems that there were not many flashable files, like apdp, bluetooth, dpo, fsc, fsg, hypod, modem, msad...

that is only update ROM. what you need is full firmware for blank flash.
I re-downloaded and extracted the rom and it seems it is just the same.
yes, that's the difference between update ROM and full firmware. crystal ball says, you want firmware for OnePlus2?
https://www.full-repair-firmware.com/p/oneplus-2.html
or Xiaomi maybe?
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui
there is always two files. smaller one is OTA update ROM (tag: recovery)
bigger file is full ROM/firmware bundle (tag: fastboot)

It looks like what you're showing is a custom ROM, you may need to flash a stock ROM, that contains a stock vendor image too, to fix things.
yeah we might able to provide link, but OP won't tell us what device brand/model he's talking about...

P20 Lite bricked, no eRecovery

Hi,
Yesterday while I was browsing normally, the phone suddenly froze and I couldn't do anything, not even turn off the screen. Then after like 3 mins the screen went blank. (it was turned on, but blank)
Some background,
this problem with the screen happened a few times before, at first it would happen randomly when trying to turn on the screen, it would turn on, be blank, flash a few times and turn off again, but a reboot would fix it. This happened like once a month.
Then it stopped happening when trying to turn on the screen, instead it started happening everytime I try to reboot. The Huawei logo and animation would show, but instead of showing the lockscreen it would again be blank, flash and turn off. It would be back to normal after a few hrs and/or after a reboot or two.
THEN the only thing that changed is that it would be blank even when booting up. The Huawei logo wouldn't show up.
However, the phone worked, sometimes the screen, instead of flashing, would stay turned on then dim down and turn off like it would normally do on the lockscreen. The touchscreen also worked because I managed one time to shut the phone down. I would also hear that startup sound after rebooting. At this point I thought it's a hardware issue, something with the display.
Now back to what happened yesterday, I think I rebooted the phone some time after it went blank, but now I couldn't hear the startup sound anymore, and I still couldn't turn off the screen.
I left it like that until the battery died, then when I plugged the charger the red led turned on, I waited for it to charge a bit, then when I tried to turn it on the red led started flashing. And maybe I'm paranoid but the flashing was a bit off, it wasn't the normal flashing you get when you have a notification for example.
I was tired so I went to sleep and left it like that overnight.
In the morning the screen was still blank, the red led was still flashing, and after I rebooted the screen went back to normal and I finally saw that the phone is stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(image taken from a yt video)
I tried Power + Volume Up to try to go into recovery, it didn't work. It just reboots and stays stuck on that screen. Actually the only thing that worked was going into fastboot. (with Power + Volume Down)
The bootloader and FRP are both locked.
Some info from fastboot:

I was thinking maybe I can unlock the bootloader using the hardware testpoint method, with PotatoNV, then install TWRP and try to backup the data at least. (I never used TWRP, I just saw there's a Backup button, idk how/if it works)
But since it can't go into recovery, I wonder if I would be stuck on some screen again.
What should I do?

Yes, it's possible, using build-in File manager (Advanced > File manager > sdcard ) .

Good question...
Have you made any software modifications? (build.prop editing etc.)
Edit.:I mean, wrongly editing build.prop or systemUI can also cause similar screen issues.

No, I don't think so.
I forgot to mention, I tried this command at one point: fastboot getvar rescue_enter_recovery
And it gave me this error: FAILED (remote: 'FAIL:need all image flashed!')
Does this help with anything?
Edit: Also when I held the Power + Volume Up buttons, the logo would take slightly longer to appear. Not a big difference, but it seemed like it was longer compared to just holding the power button.

It is normal, it's not related to your problem.
If you want to try to save data from the phone, in your case you have only one chance - the mentioned method with TWRP.
Any method of restoring the software in your case means the loss of your data.
Personally, I would try replacing the battery first. If nothing else, you will have your phone ready for the test point .

Why's that?
I have some questions about the testpoint method..
How do I glue the back cover after taking it off?
And on PotatoNV's readme it says I need some conductive tweezers, but I don't think I have any. Can I use something else?
Edit: To be more clear. Do you think the battery might've caused the issue? Recently I started seeing this type of notification, which I didn't see before:
Edit2: Ok, I'm sorry but I keep having questions..
I saw that fastboot has an option to boot from an image file, do I have more chances with this if flashing doesn't work?
And what if do the other way around, try the TWRP method first then replace the battery if that doesn't work?

Well, I don't know, but logic tells me that if there is a problem with the battery, it is not certain that the TWRP method will work. Or other processes.
The battery thing is just a theory, you can ignore it. I'm not a specialist, I'm just a hobbyist.

that command doesn't work on Kirin devices.
Your priority is to save data, right? The methods of reviving the phone will come later.
For example this one
(of course, assuming TWRP is successfully installed and if there really is a software problem).
Hi @-Alf-
I unlocked the bootloader, but FRP is still locked. FB lock is disabled.

Flashing TWRP fails:

Is it because of the FRP lock? What should I do from here?
On this video, the pinned comment says:
if you want to unlock the bootloader without wiping data, just check the "DISABLE FBLOCK (not recommended)" option, then no command needs to be used "fastboot oem unlock".

I don't understand if I'm supposed to not use any command (I didn't) or if I'm supposed to use fastboot oem unlock without the unlock code.
Also wanna note that now the "You device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen shows up and it's stuck on "Your device is booting now..."

No, FRP is locked, in green. Phone is unlocked, in red.
That's why I asked about the commands, I didn't wanna use any and mess up something.

As far as I know, there are two types of bootloader blocking:
User lock:
This lock is managed using the "fastboot oem unlock <bootloader code>" command.
With such an unlock, it becomes possible to flash part of the partitions from fastboot. But not all. And of course, this procedure automatically triggers a factory reset on A7 and above.
FB Lock:
This lock is controlled using the "fastboot oem hwdog certify set <0 or 1>" command . For this command to work, FB Lock must already be disabled. In fastboot, which is launched through a testpoint!
With this unlock, it becomes possible to flash almost all partitions from fastboot, without wiping data.
When FB Lock is unlocked, the User Lock state is ignored. The phone behaves like it is completely unlocked.
As for this problem:
Warning: skip copying recovery_ramdisk image avb footer (recovery_ramdisk partition size: 0
- I saw the same one on another forum with the Honor 9lite, there was the cause locked BL, I don't know how it turned out in the end...
I personally have no experience with potatonv. And I don't want to give you any advice that would cause data loss.

If that were the cause, you would get the "command not allowed" error, imo.
