TX5 PRO S905X2 stuck in Recovery Mode - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Hello folks, so my TX5 PRO with the S905X2 boots into Recovery mode automatically everytime you reboot it, no way out.
Can't leave, rebooting only results in re-entering the recovery mode. No error messages, only "supported api: 3" is shown.
Generally, you can boot, but it's like a 1:100 chance to boot it, it randomly boots, and when it does - it works just fine as usually, but next reboot results in going to recovery mode again.
Tried re-flashing the firmware with the factory original system, with amlogic USB burning tool, installation went fine, without any errors. But still can't boot into the system.
The rom is found here: https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-8-1-stock-firmware-for-tanix-tx5-pro-tv-box.html and looking at the CPUID CPU-Z program, the ROMs are 100% the same, from name, to build time and last update date etc. so it should be fine
Amlogic usb burning settings were: Erase flash (normal erase) and Erase bootloader were selected.
Anything I can do? Thanks in advance!

Automatically jump into recovery mode

This was a thing from 2 years ago. On one night, my screen suddenly went dark during the use of the phone (I remember the last button I touched was about “image”.And the phone should have root permission). I tried to start it but It did not respond. After waiting for an hour, it was still the same. I can't wait anymore,so I removed the battery. Then the phone restarted automatically entered the recovery mode. then I restarted the phone, but it stopped at the first boot screen ... And then I decided to try to flash the machine, here is a list of all the things I've done:
1.Double wipe (/ data, / cache)
2. Use adb sidelode or update from sdcard to try to restore the entire os (always fails, explained below)
3. Use "fastboot boot boot.img" to test the boot.img in each OS released from the official website (also unable to boot, stuck in fastboot mode)
4. Use fastboot flash to Flash with all the OS , failed,too
4.5. Try to wipe all partitions I know with fastboot (boot,...)
5.Press all possible combination for more than 10 seconds. In factory mode, only clear test result and shutdown are available.
In list 2, I got the os from the official website of acer, and checked the model, but every time it said "assert failed" (I have tested every os on the official website, I even deleted all first line in the update-script [assert()], and the result still are failed.
Plz help if anyone know anyway to make my phone rework again, thanks
Note 1: Before the problem occurred, the TOOL DL Image fail! The problem sometimes appeared, but it was resolved after rebooting (yes, I haven't tried the sp flash tool, and I swear I didn't modify anything at the time ... Because I did n’t understand the system at the time)
Note 2: Below are my device information
Model Name: Z130
Part Number: HM.HD4ST.001
CPU(Maybe): MediaTek MT6572M 1 GHz - Dual Band
Storage: 4 GB
Memory: 0.5 GB

Btw English is not my native language... so there's might be some grammar fault, sorry here:silly:

How can I repair semibrick on Realme x3 Superzoom (RMX2086)? - Only works Fastboot Mode

Hi, I have a semibrick on my X3 Superzoom (Global), and I can't seem to restore the original firmware. When it was working properly, I think the phone was updated to the latest version available in Europe (RMX2081EU_11.A.50), hence Realme UI 1.0.
I do not remember very well what I did, it's been a few weeks since my "screw up", I must have flashed an untrusted firmware, the thing is that when rebooting the screen looks black and goes into a continuous bootloop, but allows to enter fastboot mode with power + Vol down (I know because I can launch fastboot commands). Curiously, when it goes into bootloop you don't see the Realme logo, I discovered that the logo is there but with the screen illumination at minimum, and you can only glimpse a little if you put it under a lamp. Very strange.
Since it can go into fastboot mode I have tried flashing several firmwares for my phone, RMX2086 and none of them repair brik. I have tried always by command line because with MsmDownloadTool I don't have login access and with Realme Flash Tool always shows error "cannot find central directory", I have tried also with QFil and I can't get it to stay stable on the port.
I flash with command line with "fastboot flash" all .img files of super, recovery, boot, boot, dtbo, vbmeta (in that order) but it does nothing. Furthermore, I have tried with several ofp files like for example the following file from realmefirmware.com, which seems to be the last released full version of Realme UI 2.0 (I have tried also with Realme UI 1.0 versions):
RMX2086GDPR_11_C.11_2022011318270168.zip (I decrypt the ofp file inside to extract the .img files.).
Interestingly, I can flash TWRP Recovery (it works, and you see the screen with normal TWRP recovery) and from the recovery I can flash a Custom Recovery like PixelPlusUI. The phone boots (no logo visible) in CustomROM normally, but after a while of use the screen turns off but working ROM.
What should I do? Although I have some flashing experience, I'm pretty much stuck. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Sorry with making it so long, but I wanted to explain this as best as possible so it is well understood.
When you already upgrades to Android 11, you can not flash custom rom, otherwise it bricks, because all the custom roms required android 10 ROM system, you may downgrade using flash tool (I tried but failed to flash any stock rom using any tool, only able to flash using fastboot commands)

It's been over a year since it happened, I didn't find a solution on my own, and since it was still under warranty, I sent it to the official technical service and a couple of weeks later I received it back with the firmware working.

PixelExperience Stuck in Bootloop

Hey community,
I have been running Poco F1 with twrp and PixelExperience for the last 2 years. Considering the past record of the OS and my experience with the OS, I decided recently to upgrade to the newer PE12 for Poco F1 (maintained by Lakshay Garg). It went smooth initially and after the last OTA update, the phone started behaving weirdly.
Long story short,
This morning the phone went into an automatic restart and is now stuck in a boot loop. It boots and reaches the "G" logo and reboots. However, the weird part is,
Code:
fastboot flash
and
Code:
fastboot boot
are not available, throwing errors. The device is visible in
Code:
adb devices
and
Code:
fastboot devices
. This problem occurs when the phone is not plugged in. Once plugged in, the phone runs fine and everything just works. TWRP is not accessible, as if it is not there anymore and the only recovery that I can reach is the pixel recovery which has no option to flash any custom recovery (newbie, so not sure if something like this should exists or not).
I've tried various threads here and wasn't able to find any solution. Let me know what commands/outputs you guys might need from the device to help me in this.
Thanks in advance. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Seems to be a battery problem. How old is it? You may need to replace it.
However make sure you followed the clean install method before you come on a conclusion. Also try to not use any Magisk modules.
Best Clean Install method:
Backup all your data. All your data into Internal Storage will be lost during this process.
Download latest Official TWRP Recovery, Pixel Experience build.
Create one Folder and move all the files you downloaded there.
Reboot to Fastboot Mode
Connect your device to PC and Boot into to TWRP via ADB or Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img
Example:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-3.6.1_9-0-beryllium.img
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe -> Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe.
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes
While you are in TWRP, transfer the Folder with the files you downloaded above.
Flash Pixel Experience ROM.
Flashing the ROM will replace TWRP with PE Recovery so OTA updates can be installed without problems since TWRP currently doesn't support decryption on A12 encypted ROMs - If you need in future to change ROM just fastboot boot to twrp via adb and flash img of twrp to recovery partition.
Done! Reboot to system.
Thanks, turns out that it was a battery problem after all. After battery replacement everything is working just fine. I also installed Awaken OS as Pixel Experience was removing the TWRP recovery each time I flashed it. Now as for my fastboot, initially it was not working; it was showing this error whenever I tried to flash TWRP recovery or any stock recovery:
Sending 'boot.img' (38640 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown)) fastboot: error: Command failed
After this, the fastboot mode was diconnected and my phone was showing this Error:
Press any Key to Shut Down
It was resolved by running this bat file (as admin) :
https://bit.ly/31T2LcB
After running this file, there was no error and I was able to flash the twrp Recovery smoothly. So thanks for all the help really appreciate it.

Did you face the problem again?
I am using PE11 since last 2 years but suddenly i started facing the same problem. When plugged in, works fine. When I unplug it, works until screen is on and when I use power button to lock or unlock, phone goes into bootloop. I opend it in twrp where it can work as long as battery lasts, that's why I am not sure if it's a battery problem or something else

Lenovo 1050F doesn't run anything else other than DNX mode - help!

Hi all,
Well, operator error is definitely at fault here... I made a series of mistakes that got me to where I am now. All I intended on doing was repairing my dad's tablet which was running atrociously slowly. I tried to follow some steps, but improvised as I was getting errors and obviously ended up making things a lot worse...
Now tuning on the tablet will directly go to a command line interface with a long series of errors and these are the last 2 lines:
Rich (BB code):
blkD :HardDisk - Alias (null)
PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x17,0x0) Ctrl (0x0) /HD(14,GPT,80868086-8086-8086-8086-000000000008,0x646828,0x16D47D8)
blkE :BlockDevice - Alias (null)
PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x17,0x0) Ctrl (0x0)
Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue.
Shell> _
In this state it cannot be interacted with and won't be detected by my PC over USB.
This happens for normal, recovery and bootloader modes. The only mode that I can access is DNX mode but attempting to boot droidboot will result in the same command line UI described above, including when trying to restore the BIOS using the PC executable (which I assume needs to enter fastboot mode, which it can't do...).
What can I do now? Any way to get anything working in the above screen or through DNX?
I'm thinking that a partition was corrupt in addition to me wiping the ESP is causing this. Maybe it's possible to completely format and setup all the partitions and start from scratch again? How can I flash esp.img when all I have access to on the tablet is DNX mode?
Detailed history below...:
HISTORY
1)
The tablet is a Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 1050F. It was running very slowly to the point where my dad just didn't bother to use it. I thought it would be wise to factory reset it as a first step. There is no option to do so within the Lenovo skin of Android so I started by going into recovery mode and performed a factory reset from there.
After it rebooted, the Android UI would loop back to the language selection after connecting to a WiFi network and I would get "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped." error message. It would just loop through the Language Selection > Connect to WiFi network pages over and over.
2)
Having installed CM on my old S3 back in the day, I thought I could go about the same process and flash a gapps ZIP file in recovery mode. That didn't work, I got an error because the zip was unsigned.
I thought I could install TWRP to flash unsigned zips, reinstall Gapps and get the tablet passed the Android UI loop.
3)
I followed this guide on XDA to install an unofficial TWRP (which involved unlocking the bootloader). It didn't work because I couldn't flash over ADB (because the tablet couldn't allow Developer Mode since it was stuck in the Android UI loop). So I flashed as many files as I could in fastboot.
I eventually flashed the TWRP recovery.img but that didn't work : when turning on to Recovery mode it would just go back to the bootloader screen.
4)
I thought I must have screwed up something up so I tried to restore the BIOS using an executable I found but I realized the tablet was already upgraded to Lollipop and the only BIOS restoration exe was for Kitkat. Sure enough it got even worse and I could no longer boot Android.
5)
I still had bootloader and fastboot though so I followed a guide to restore the tablet to the original OS (which ironically I already downloaded before trying to get TWRP but forgot about and didn't unpack). I set up Intel Platform Tools but the flash process didn't work because it went to droidboot and then lost USB connection. On the Intel program it would just stay stuck at 20% Wiping ESP. It would time out twice and then give me a final error message.
6)
So I thought to explore the flash.xml file provided to see if I could do the steps manually. I knew it was stuck at wipe ESP because in droidboot it couldn't get commands from PC. So I went into fastboot and wiped ESP manually myself! Little did I know how foolish this was to do because I was simply unable to flash the provided ESP.img again. Following this I lost access to the bootloader.
7)
I found a guide to restore a bricked 1050F here on XDA but it needs droidboot which now goes to the command line UI described at the top of this post. When attempting to restore the kitkat BIOS again, droidboot is also needed which results in the same cmd UI.
8)
Which leads me to where I am now which is that the tablet doesn't boot to: normal, recovery, bootloader/fastboot or droidboot. Which is why I am now asking for help. What can I do?
I'm thinking that a partition was corrupt in addition to me wiping the ESP is causing this. Maybe it's possible to completely format and setup all the partitions and start from scratch again? How can I flash esp when all I can get access to is DNX mode?
Thanks for reading this far and if you have any more ideas, please let me know, thanks in advance.
Hi, would anyone like to weigh in on this issue?

Can't boot to fastbootd mode

Hi, I am using a oneplus 7t pro mclaren edition. I have soft-bricked the device. I tried to change the filesystem in twrp to f2fs when i was in stock rom (I know it was a stupid mistake). Now the boot and recovery partitions are destroyed. I can boot to actual fastboot mode. Tried to use payload dumper but whenever it tries to boot fastbootd it says
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
Tried erase everything I got the following error using "fastboot -w"
Erasing 'userdata' OKAY [ 0.229s]
/home/abhijith/Documents/op7t/output/make_f2fs failed with status 1
fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata
I have heard of MSM unbrick tool but as far as i know it only works in windows , before installing VM with windows , I want to know if there is any other way i can recover my device. I have a11 fastboot rom and a12 stock rom. Please help
I have exactly the same problem, same errors etc. if I find any solution I'll post it here. Can't use my phone until then I guess. It all happened after my phone was bricked after trying to install TWRP (previously used LineageOS Recovery).
I followed this guide which resulted in the same errors as for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ock-fastboot-roms-for-oneplus-7t-pro.3991189/
Okay, I managed to unbrick my phone, but you won't like the (probably only) solution:
- You NEED Windows (7-10) for this, as the tools are only available on this platform, sadly
- There is this one Indian Guy that will save you:
- Includes how to install all drivers and how to get your phone into COM Mode
- This uses the MSM tool. For 1+ 7T Pro, get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4002909/
- This is going to STOCK RESET you phone 100%, meaning that your bootloader will be locked etc.
- If you get into any Chinese menu after the phone reboots, you can use Google Lens for translation
I can't believe this worked because it just feels so hacky, but trust me, it's a good last resort as you can always put your phone into COM Mode, regardless of how hard you messed up the system [citation needed].

Follow the video. When all drivers are installed and you hold both volume buttons while the device is off, it will show up as a COM/serial device for a few seconds before booting.
Important: Only connect the cable while already pressing the buttons or it won't work.
I was able to get to edl mode and msm tool was detecting but now i am facing sahara communication error i dont have official cable so maybe that might be the reason will try that also
@Colin_T Thanks for the help. I was able to install stock rom to my oneplus 7t pro. I really want to install pixel experience, in the instructions it is saying flash oos 12 firmware. But in the official website i am only seeing 11. What to do?
