This recovery is carried from Coolapk user named 残芯。
More features can be seen there.
Please use fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img instead of fastboot boot !!!!
Temporary boot is not supported is this device.

The link does not lead to anything useful but I was able to do my own googling using the username you provided and I did find some weibo page of a guy claiming to be a unofficial twrp creator for multiple phones. I dont speak chinese but google translate gave me enough info.
I also found a page by the same user with screenshots showing a legion pro 2
Sina Visitor System
So this might be a legit twrp after all but I will let a braver soul try it out first.

In fact,the weibo link that you provide leads to a download-able zip file with a password.But,you must pay money to get the password.
I bought it.BUT I leak this file withont the writher's agreement.
That is why I created a all new account to post.

Ok. so i did
fastboot flash boot xxx.img
as it was written (probably, i used a translator) in the original post. It was successful but my phone wouldn't boot (no matter whether it was fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot reboot, the logo flashed and the phone went back to bootloader) so i later downloaded the ROM it had before, version 12.5.062 ST and extracted the boot.img from it, did fastboot flash boot boot.img and the whole thing booted up as it would normally and is fully functioning including wifi and fingerprint. i have the 18/512GB version so i guess it should be the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro

In the weibo post the guy suggested to quote "Use the (Stump or Residual) tool to brush into the boot section, and use the method to skip to twrp"
but i don't know what those thing mean

Any help would be appreciated as i want to maybe change the rom to cn and root it

Did you boot into TWRP? You have to hold the volume down button and then power on the device. When the bootloader menu prompts, tap volume down or up and select recovery and see if it boots into TWRP. Also, I believe you can flash it to recovery instead of boot - try and post results.

There is no recovery partition and i could power it off only after unplugging the side usb port, if not, the logo would blink and the phone would go back to fastboot mode after selecting START / POWER OFF / REBOOT RECOVERY / REBOOT BOOTLOADER (all available options). After that i could not get it into anything other than bootloader or power off state. The post says to jump to twrp after flashing boot.img but as i said the phone didn't boot up to anything other than the bootloader, even after using a ton of key combinations. From fastboot mode it won't boot to recovery as there is no place for one, after flashing stock boot.img and using adb reboot recovery it shows the usual No command sleeping robot. Holding Volume Up or Down and Power keys didn't bring the usual options.

Maybe the secure boot prevents from booting anything other than bootloader after flashing non compatible boot.img

so i succefully rooted the phone by just flashing patched boot.img but while tinkering in fastboot, i switched the active slot from a to b and now my phone is stuck in EDL mode and i have no idea which firmware is compatible as i already tried flashing the cn, row and ee roms via QFIL and nothing worked.

Uh oh, do you know if it is a Duel 2 or Pro 2? Try the .188 firmware from lolinet and then flash it through QFIL with the instructions by Shadow27Jirka ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/ )
Open QFIL
Select Meta Build
Select Programmer path as "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" from extracted ROM files
Load Content.xml from ROM files ("contents.xml")
Press Download
Switch phone to Download mode (press and hold all volume and power buttons for a while and the plug a cable to side USB port)
Download will start automatically and it´ll flash whole OS
If step 5 will not be enabled, use step 6 and press Download right after phone is detected by QFIL

It's Lenovo Legion 2 Pro. China Aliexpress version with global ROM flashed. I tried the .188 You mentioned but it returned the same result as before, when my phone was working and I was trying to change the ROM back to CN.

Try powering down the device fully by holding the power key for 30 seconds or both the volume up and power key for 30 seconds. When you plug it in, hold both volume keys and the power button and click download right away. Since you have the AliExpress version use .188 with QFIL. Make sure you have your com port selected.

Tried to power it off while having the usb cable connected to the side port, after around 15-16 seconds of holding POWER / POWER + VOLUME the COM port in Qfil blinks and is again displayed as QDLoader 9008. Then I tried with the phone unplugged and the results were the same. After that I just tried to get Partition Manager working but to no avail, the same as with normal .188 flash.

Nothing works. I tried different Qfil configurations and multiple CN Roms but this POS just won't budge. Damned Sahara error drives me crazy.

What version of QPST are you using? Have you used QFIL before? You may be missing libraries. Have you tried full power down and then hold both volume keys and power button followed by plugging it in (official way to flash)?

I was using the latest Qfilfrom the latest QPST package, don't remember the exact version, then Qfil 2.0.1.0 because it was used in the Z6 Pro guide and was mentioned on the CN forum. There was even a nice gif showing everything step-by-step. Done exactly that but the outcome was the same- Sahara error. Tomorrow I'm gonna try reinstall everything and do it once again and if it doesn't help, switch to linux and Windows 7.

I'm a nobb in those things and need to read more, but it can be that I unlocked the slot a bootloader, and then switched to slot b with it locked, so the bl may be preventing qfil from flashing

Brick after update in Honor with TWRP?

Hey guys, I think I just bricked my Honor.
My device is unlocked and has TWRP. After I rooted I received the update to B151, I downloaded it, the phone rebooted to TWRP, installed the update by itself and now it doesn't boot . It's stucked at the first Honor screen, I can shut it down but after that the phone boots up after 10secs. When I keep pressed any key the phone doesn't boot, but when I release them I tries to boot, being stucked at the Honor screen.
I tried putting it to charge, connecting it to the PC and rebooting to recovery via adb (I couldn't) and no signal of life. Is this a bootloop? A complete brick? Any ideas? Thanks for the help
it's normal
you can not install official updates with TWRP
install recovery stock for fastboot, do factory reset, if not boot
re-install the whole firmware b130 from DLOAD....

Hello
first thing don't panic. If you can get in TWRP it's easy to fix
hold volup+voldown+power to get back to TWRP
hook the phone to your PC and copy this stock recovery to your sdcard
Now in TWRP choose Install / Image choose the recovery.img the tick the recovery box / then swipe to flash. You now have stock recovery.
now download the update.zip here > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636004244
and copy that file to a folder on your ext_sdcard called dload once its copied in TWRP choose
Reboot / Recovery. the update should flash upon entering recovery.
If it doesn't hold the volup+voldown+power again and let it reboot now it should flash and your phone will be fixed and updated to b151

There's the problem, at the moment I can't, when I keep pressed any button when the phone is off it won't boot, but when I release them the phone tries to boot up normally. Last night the phone ran out of battery, I put it to charge and gave me a signal of life. I'll try to access to TWRP when the phone ends it's charge

unplug the phone from the charger before trying the volup+voldown+power
sometimes I let it reboot once and then let go power and hold just the volume keys and it will go into recovery. other time just volume up + power takes you to recovery
the phone is pretty strange like that

Nothing happened. Rebooted and it's stuck again at the first Honor screen. I can still access to the EMUI download mode but I can't access to the TWRP (or at least I don't know how)
EDIT: adb recognizes that the phone it's connected when it's at the Honor screen but it's unauthorized

download the Full update from my file depot and put it in your ext_sdcard / dload
then boot to this download mode you call it

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

Try this.
1. Open up Odin in your PC, make sure you got the USB drivers installed too.
2. Connect your phone with the cable.
3. Hold Vol Down + Power, to cold reboot.
4. As soon as it reboots, QUICKLU HOLD Vol Down + Bixby + Power button.
I've locked myself on the Kernel issue when changing CSC, and found out that this was the only way i could get in to Download Mode. It wont go inside if the cable is not connected to the PC and Odin isn't up.
It can be tricky to find that perfect moment for pressing the buttons, so dont give up easily.
If you notice no luck, Repeat the same process, but make the cable ready but dont connect it, cold-reboot and as soon as it reboots, connect the cable and do the download mode button layout.

Can't you just flash official rom from the screen you show in the first post? It doesn't necessarily need to boot into proper download mode to flash official rom. I mean your phone cannot boot into download mode, so just try to flash the rom from the screen.
hello everyone, i have a technical question. is it possible to root lineage 18.1 (android 11) only by operating on a working system ?? (something like kingoroot) ... after gaining root, you can access the partition and load recovery again ....
I am probably the first victim of uploading this fake software, after analyzing the rom on the telegram (exynos 9810), wise heads said that after uploading the software, the lack of recovery and the download mode is a deliberate action of the perpetrator. so I think root can help, I remember that I performed a similar operation when I could not connect the tablet galaxy tab 2 to the pc, then root and upload the recovery from a working android ....

[HELP] Hardbricked phone

Hello, i need help, i tried everything but nothing seems to work. I tried to crossflash a TM version but i believe that i did something wrong and deleted a partition. When i tried to go from EDL to download mode it simple became unresponsive, the screen doesn't show anything but it can be connected to 9008 and is detected by qfil. On qfil when i try to open the partition manager, it never opens, just says that is working. I cannot hard or soft reset it. and when i try to flash it wit lgup isnt detected and is telling that there is no handset connected
Please help, i dont know what to do now.
Edit:
I'll try to explain me better.
The phone doesn't turn on but is detected on QFIL.
Buttons doesn't seem to work,i mean, they work but i cannot turn it on or go to the recovery mode.
When im in QFIL and i try to use the partition manager the partition manager window never pop up.

i managet to be able to open the partition manager, but i don't know what to do now ): i loaded the img of the files that i backed but still nothing
It seems as, if you not only deleted a partition, but possibly the entire flash. this has happened to a few here, because the corresponding command is placed in the wrong place in Partition Manager (when opening a single partition).
Which partiton should it have been that you supposedly deleted?
If that was really the case, then without an existing full backup you have a bigger problem...
you can restore full backup but you will have problem with imei its hard to fix
You should wait until your phone is complete discharged. Then try again to initialize the EDL-Mode and to get in Partition-Manager. If you don't become Partition-Infos, then you can be sure, your Partition-Table is defect (or deleted).

Have you extracted partitions from kdz by your Hand, to Flash them in Partition Manager?
Attention: Before you Flash partitions, make Backups from then (Read Data Partition)!
And, don't Flash FTM
That seems good, what i now see...
You should now try to reach Dl-Mode again

i hold power and vol- , when i hear the sound of disconnection i stop and disconnect the usb, then immediately i press vol+ and connect again the usb and nothing happens.
I think we need some files from a full backup now.
Do you have a cloud somewhere where I could possibly store a few files?
**UPDATE**
For future references this is the status right now.
@kingilein Have been helping me all this time with my phone.
What we tried?
We tried flashing some boot partitions to try to make the phone able to enter download mode.
After the flash the phone disconnected from edl mode and died (no response) no edl mode, no boot, nothing is super bricked now.
The phone battery was almost full so now we are waiting to let it drain to try to enter edl mode again.
What i'm doing now?
Every hour or so i try to turn it on holding power button for a minute or so.
2 mins later i take the phone and hold power + vol- for a minute or so.
Sometimes i pick the phone and hold power + vol- while i fast tap vol+ for 5 minutes.
Every 3-4 hours i do the same with the phone connected to the pc.
i tried different ports, and different cables.
i don't know if the phone battery is drained atm.
but i tried putting it in a wireless charger and the wireless charger is showing that the phone is charging so it can be charged.

Boot loop - Can't power off, no recovery, won't boot

Hello,
I've got a Realme 7. Tried to update a ROM, something happened, lost recovery, not it's boot looping.
I understand what I need to do - Reflash stock rom and recovery.
However, I can't get my phone to power off, I can't get the USB filters installed, I can't do anything...
Holding power does nothing, holding vol + and power does nothing...It just keeps looping back to the realme logo.
I assume, if I can get it powered off, I can then hold volume up and down to get libusb to recognize it and then go from there. However, I'm at a loss...
Thanks.

Open the USB filters wizard, and pay attention when the device is trying to boot, you could install it, see which item is added. To completely power off the device, you just have to press the three buttons simultaneously.
Yeah, can't get it to the point where

The 3 buttons doesn't seem to work either. Just black screen, then Realme logo - Orange state - Your device will boot in 5 seconds.
It just goes black again, and back to the realme logo.

In the short time it is going to blank screen it is power off, then immediately it is trying to boot, I faced the same a lot of times. A variant, pressing vol up + PWR also device gets off, when device is trying to boot, tap on the item newly added and install it, open firstly the libUSB wizard and keep it open, and visible to you.
Yeah, I can't get it. Doesn't seem to detect that the phone is connected to my computer at all. Nothing shows up in the USB filters...Doesn't seem to matter when I press volume up and down throughout the process...
Can't seem to do anything. Just looping...Ugh - I guess I'm out of luck?

Install all the previous drivers needed.
Also you have this tool to flash recovery and see from there https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
To get it work you don´t need the LibUSB32, you have to find the short time device is trying to reboot to press the volume buttons to connect to the tool.

OK, phone is dead now...Hah - Time to do some more research.
I assume that once I get it loaded up in MTK Client I can just flash recovery.img from the stock rom?
Or do I need to flash something else completely?

No, it's not dead, I had bricked my device even in a state of no signal of life at all, but I have completely working now, just I lost IMEI cause a bad flashing and back up gone.
You should start by flashing only the stock recovery, so you can try to flash an ozip from there, be sure your device has some charge now and check all the drivers you have installed.
Open device manager in Windows, and connect your PC while you are pressing buttons and so, and check how it is listed there.
This is preloader mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

hold volume + and power button for while, as soon as the screen turns off leave the button. your phone will successfully turn off. and to solve the problem. you need to download the official firmware which have scatter file and Remember to backup your NV data OR any NV RAM before flashing or you will loose IMEI number because of which many people are facing IMEI problem including me.. So after backup Flash the firmware with format all or re-partition and will successfully boot up. remember to restore NV DATA/NV RAM. you can use unlock tool to flash the firmware.
Same problem here... I change my Chinese GT2 Pro to Global, everythings fine, but when I tried to lock the bootloader a message apears saying the flash was broken or something and now it keeps flashing the "realme Powered by android" for 0,5 a sec and rebooting again and again and again... can't do absolute nothing...

hey, tazz, have you solved the problem yet? i'm currently on the same predicament as you are, just on a C12 instead of a 7.
Any one could recovery the phone after this problem? Seems that this problem is common, but I do not find any one that tells that fixed it and how did it...

Recover from what? There are many users including me that recovered the 99% of its functionalities. If you are referring to the IMEI, then, yes, and not, it´s not possible by any tools that available for end users, but it can be done through specialized hardware tools.

Recover that:
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot.exe flash recovery corrupted_recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash vbmeta corrupted_vbmeta.img
fastboot.exe boot corrupted_recovery.img
After this, the phone is on boot looping, and because the looping, the usb is reconfiguring all the time (I was unable to get time enough to connect using adb or fastboot)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the physical buttons does not respond after this procedure. I'm unable to use power; power+down; power+up...

Just search in the forum, there is not a guide all-in-one, but everything you need is here.
From unlock the bootloader, either officially or unofficially, using mtk-client, updating the drivers through Lib-USB, device filter, flashing every partition using the same tool or SP Flash tool.
Just a side note, Physical button don´t have to do with software issues, device not entering to a specific mode, is not because physical buttons are supposedly, not responding, but this stage is missing or unavailable. There are many posts and guides about unbricking this device, just search thoroughly through the forum.

Question Boot loop/no response to recovery menu

Hi
My G9 Power is stock ROM and is just over 2 years old, It's running fairly standard stuff and isn't rooted. . Last night I was responding to a message when it shut down. It had plenty of charge, at least 60%.
Rebooting it just results in the boot looping - splash screen for a few minutes, then blank, then restart. I deliberately left it doing that all night to exhaust the battery, which happened earlier.
It is recognising a cable is plugged in but my memory tells me that a light comes on the say it's charging, which isn't happening now - but that may be because of the stage it's in in booting (though it doesn't come on when the phone is off either). There is no haptic feedback when I plug in the cable, or sound.
So while I'm no expert I have previously replaced ROMs on an old phone, so I thought of Recovery. I can get to the menu which includes recovery, which is headed (in red bold) AP Fastboot Flash mode (Secure). The options are Restart, Bootloader, Barcodes, Recovery and Start. Barcode shows me barcodes and start goes back into the loop but Recovery doesn't do anything at all.
How can I get round this as I can't use ADP unless it's in the recovery menu can I?
Or is it dead, terminally?
Any ideas appreciated...)

Your best bet might be to follow Post #3 in this thread. You will likely lose anything that wasn't backed up. But it might be useful in salvaging your phone.
Instead of the link in that thread, you probably need the newest firmware from this: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/cebu/official/RETGB/ (I'm guessing you're in the UK, based on your username and the spelling of "recognising"). Extract the file and then run the commands from the first link.
You will need to have platform-tools installed.
Hope it helps.

no, always take the flash commands out of flashfile.xml from insode the firmware zip.
@GeoffUK That would be my advice, too. Download the firmware and flash it. A bootloop is mostly related to a corrupt /data partition and flaahing the firmware will erase /data.
If you have any questions about it just ask.
or try this tool

Thanks for this important correction.
Thanks for the prompt and useful reply.
I'd have quite happily tried the suggestion but I can't identify the correct file in the link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/borneo/
Also, when I plug the phone into the PC there is not a glimmer of recognition on the PC (though the phone knows it's been connected) so I don't think it is sufficiently connected to do anything with - don't forget I cant boot to any menu, recovery or otherwise. I've tried different cables etc.
Lastly, I ran it down to zero battery yesterday. I don't think it is even charging as it was plugged in overnight and on the occasion I can get a display the battery state is showing 0% (i,e, when I first plug in the cable).
I'm not about to spend a lot of time or money trying to fix it but I have just ordered a new charging port dock as that was cheap enough and seems reasonably easy to replace.
I'll report back once that is done, meantime would appreciate any more thoughts people may have.
Thanks again.

But you can see a screen like this?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Yes (sometimes)
This is the 'bootloader screen' or 'fastboot mode'. To open that screen:
device is powered off: hold Power+Vol- to boot into fastboot mode
device is powered on (but bootloops): hold Power+Vol- for 10-15 sec. to boot into fastboot mode
In that mode you can use the LMSA to flash a new firmware. In case it won't work you have the option to flash the firmware manually (with my help).
Hi, thanks for your patience.
I can get it to boot to the exact screen you show but it won't go any further, on any button press on the phone. I can scroll up and down from Start and see the other options but selecting any of them doesn't look like it does much. The PC doesn't seem to see the phone.
But I'd be happy trying anything!! I realise the phone contents are probably lost.

Once you're getting to that screen, that's a good sign. You need to leave it at that screen and then use Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) on your Windows computer to reinstall the firmware on your phone.
In fastboot mode you are able to flash a new firmware. Download the tool linked above and install it. You get instructions by the tool. Try it and for any questions write a post here.
RSA is running and I am logged in but it needs the IMEI which I don't have.
It does say if you know your phone supports Fastboot you can connect directly via Fastboot mode but it doesn't explain how.
Will the tool also link me to the right firmware?
OK, I found the original box which has the IMEI on.
I'm now downloading the firmware.
Well that completed successfully but I'm afraid it didn't fix the problem....
I don't think the phone is holding charge. It was still looping at the boot screen though it has now stopped doing that and is just blank. I'll leave it on charge overnight but I'm not expecting much!
I have the charge port part arriving in the next few days so I guess that's the next step.
Thanks for your help, I'm really grateful!
Still looping?
No, it's just dead. I think if I plugged it in it'd still be looping
sounds like a hardware issue...
Yep, new phone. I'll try this part I've ordered before giving up.
Thanks for all your help though.
no problem! I hope you will manage to fix the issue.
