I have used windroid htc one x+ toolkit to unlock bootloader.
It shows a dialogue saying bootloader is unlocked . But in the phone it still shows a locked screen and also showing as s-off
I have root and i am able to use titanium backup.
I have also tried to flash twrp recovery.. but not able to do so.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction..

Thank you ..
I was able to flash twrp using Rom toolbox.

I tried to install a custom Rom but failed because of my own mistake.. today I will try once more to flash a Rom.

Sure I will try it in the evening.
You can definitely Unlock it using the HTCDEV process , I have a done this. Any ways if you are able to flash a ROM then there is no reason to get it Unlocked, more over S-OFF gives you full control over the device but again it also increases the risk of getting your phone bricked so make sure you use it wisely (knowing what you flash) , so I will say why to beg HTC for some thing they have already provided.
One more thing S-OFF device means you dont need to flash boot.img separately so you dont need to use your PC to flash roms no more.
Waiting to know about your progress on flashing the ROM ..

I have now successfully flashed a Rom..initially I tried it without flashing the boot.img and it entered a boot loop.
Then I installed flashify and flashed boot.img that came with the Rom. Then the Rom is working now.
The boot loader is still locked. Has twrp .

so you mean to say you failed to install the boot.img from the custom recovery ? well that is weird, one more thing since you were in boot loop how did you manage to install flashiffy !
if you may please include the complete flashing steps , will be helpful for my experiments.

Initially I flashed the Rom alone and it went into bootloop and all buttons became unresponsive .so I waited till the battery ran out and the phone switched off. Then I recharged , entered recovery by vol down + power button.. I had the backup there . So I restored back up.. then phone rebooted normally.. and I flashed boot.img by flashify just because I didn't know any other method... Then from recovery I wiped dalvik cache and system .. flashed the new Rom.. reeboot and fine..
Feel free to ask for any more clarification..
(Because you try to install TWRP RECOVERY)
What you can do or can not do anything about it?
Device is lost?
Through Flashify
I clicked img TWRP
It worked entered RECOVERY
I did not know what to do where I could not find an installation file rom
I pressed WIPI think that was registered
I made a device Reset
Get stuck LG logo:crying:

I believe you can flash stock recovery though adb. Do a little research. Stock files are in G2 Mini General Android Developement (D620, right?).

Hi all,
trying to track down a TWRP recovery for Ulefone Gemini Pro? I've tried using the Umidigi Pro Z but it won't "stick", i.e. it is installing however it boots back to normal system & reinstalls the stock recovery.
I realise it is a newish phone so a custom recovery may not have been created as yet?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have created a recovery for Ulefone gemini pro. You can try this and see how it goes:
https://mega.nz/#!8f43VYLa!o-elPp74o35tm3AdtcW1wVbFnBHIGi_dUP7skWWGmOM
The problem is that touch is not working. The issue is not with the Recovery image, but the device itself. If I flash the image to boot partition, touch works. I have tried flashing the boot image to recovery partition and it booted to the OS, but touch was not working. So it looks like kernel booting from recovery partition cannot iniialize the touch sensor. Kernel logs also shows that touch sensor failed to initialize. Will create a new thread to discuss this.
You also need a modified boot image for the recovery image not to be re-written. You can use this modified boot image here:

Hi,
thanks for this however neither seem to be working? I installed both, lost touch completely & couldn't boot into recovery? I then had to restart the phone & everything was back to normal.
Looks like more work has to be done in this area however I'm not the one that can do it! Nice try though!

Thanks for trying it out. Actually, if you install the recovery.img to boot partition, touch works. So looks like the device has disabled touch hardware when booting from recovery. I have started a separate thread asking for help

maybe this is kinda obvious for you, but you can use a mouse to use the twrp. took me days to realize this "genius" solution

Hello!!! Is this true? Can you handle TWRP recovery with a mouse ??? I need to do root because I have lost the IMEIs.
Could a non-tactile recovery work like the CWM Recovery from Clockworkmod ???
could a non-tactile recovery work?
Regars from Spain
So we can root only if we have a :
- OTG cable
- A mouse
Can you guys do a instructive tutorial ? Like step by step and just not dropping the files and good luck ?
Because it's just not about me but the others that will come and they want to root their phones too
Ps : i know that i can use adb to flash my images etc .. i'm just not too sure about it , and for now i don't have a OTG cable so any of you have any news why the touch isn't working with twrp ?
Thank you , have a nice day !

Found this on Russian 4PDA forum TWRP 3.1.1 I am not sure if it's touch is working or not as google does not translate it very well.
I do not own this device so I am unable to test it.

Hey man , nice found !
from what google translate translated in french this root work :
AVERTISSEMENT !! Après avoir installé rekaveri, sous réserve deautorisation des changements dans le système,installation obligatoire SuperSU, sinon le système ne démarre pas.
ATTENTION : After you install rekavery ( WTF is that ?? ) you need to accept modifications on the system , and you HAVE to install SuperSU otherwise the system will not boot
Russian language is like black magic xD
If someone tris it can you confirm this work ?
Thanks
Hi. I repeat again that it does not matter that the touch does not work ... the Recovery works with a mouse and an OTG adapter. Recovery is only for root or to install some zip. Anyway, this Recovery YES works with a mouse.

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.
My mi unlock tool says can't get info. I using Indian version miui 12

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
