Hi there! I need some help, I am trying to root my device and need a boot.img, but I cannot find a Rom for the x9 anywhere online.
This is my first time doing this, I got this phone just to mess around with rooting. But maybe I bought a bad phone for it.
If there are no Flash Roms online, what are the next steps? Can I use a Rom for the e9 which released alongside this phone? Sounds like it wouldnt work.. but IDK.
Looking for help from the experts ^^
Any help is appreciated.
Finally found one! Took over 2 hours to download a 2gb file O,O but it's finally done.
Now I am having problems getting into bootloader mode.
In developer mode with both OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Used the correct cmd prompt (adb reboot bootloader) but the phone just restarts.
I've tried restarting while holding the volume buttons.
VOL Down = Factory Test Mode, nothing works as expected there.
VOL UP = A boot menu letting me select from ~10 options, one of them is Boot to Bootloader. Selecting that simply boots normal, nothing special.
I have followed three guides:
How TO Root Vodafone Smart X9 Magisk without TWRP Recovery
If your Smart X9 is rooted using Magisk without TWRP Recovery. You can control a lot of features such as you can remove unwanted software.
www.getdroidpro.com
Vodafone Smart E9 Unlock Bootloader with Fastboot Method
How to unlock bootloader on your Vodafone with Fastboot Method. You can install custom ROM, custom recovery, kernel, flash all data
www.mobilewithdrivers.com
All seem logical enough, many similarities between them. I just cannot get into fastboot mode.
I've seen LOADS of threads with this same problem on this forum. And none of them have any solutions. So I think this is the end of the road. If nobody has figured it out .. then I am just out of luck I guess?

Hi @joke19 !
I havnt seen any of the guides mentioning needing a certain amount of buttons :O
How does that factor in - does that mean it cannot be rooted for some reason?
Still having this problem, and I have followed a lot of guides to the letter. I cant see what I am doing wrong. Here's where I am:
Phone is visible on device manager and the drivers are up-to-date.

I'm using USB2.0 with the correct wires.
The phone is in developer mode with USB Debugging and OEM unlocking enabled.
I'm using the correct command lines. adb devices & adb reboot bootloader work as expected.
But none of these will work: fastboot devices, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock.
I just get < waiting for any device >
Can anyone help figure this out? I must be doing sooomething wrong. Everything online says its a driver issue, but then again, all the guides on how to fix that driver issue have been followed and completed. The first bullet with the image should also sort of verify that.
Praying some wizard out there has the knowledge I need to get this working! ^^

OK, so i am really lost at this point. I have been trying for the past couple of days with no luck.
I used Minimal adb and fastboot, downloaded Lg drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.3), sdk google drivers and looked at many comments to figure this out.
i type adb device and my phone shows, I type fastboot device and last couple of my phone shows. I used Mininimal adb and fasboot to unclock the the bootloader and i followed all the commands but when i get to fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, it tells me cannot load twrpxxxx.img. Also, when i type in adb reboot bootloader in brings me the an LG screen with powered by android at the bottom instead of the correct screen.
So, i tried the other way. Power phone off, hold down the volume down button and plug in usb and bootloader/fastboot opens up ( the screen with the line in the top left, with a blank page). it shows unlocked, few lines in white, and then few lines in red. I type fasboot devices and my phone shows up displaying last couple of the phone sn#. but when i go to type fasboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, i get the same message cannot load twrpxxxx.img. and on the phone is shows fastboot getvar partition recovery.
Any idea on what this is and how can i solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Rename it to recovery.img and try again.
I renamed it and I still get the same error. Cannot load recovery.img

Make sure the image is in the same folder that you are running adb from; it doesnt scan your whole computer for the file. ��

It is in the same folder.
Does it make any difference that my phone is unlocked from T-Mobile via unlocked code? That should not have anything to do with it thought. I am just tying to figure it out.
Figured it out.

I suggest you remove and reinstall sdk or install nexus root tools and run a cmd within the updated tools. Make sure you installed the right drivers, delete all others, reinstall, although your error seems more a problem with the tools, permissions perhaps, did you run cmd as admin?
Unable to load tells me it can't find your file.. Perhaps it has a hidden extension? Recovery.img.txt
Whats the complete exact command you're typing?
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

When your phone is turned on and plugged in, type command adb devices, Does it show?
Put phone in fastboot mode, type command fastboot devices, does it show?
I figured it out. I had to install motorola and g4 drivers to get fast boot to read when I only had one or the other it was only reading adb when I had both on pc it read and adb & fastboot and worked. Thank you.
Hi sir I am facing a problem I rooted my v10 first I unlocked bootloader and then I rooted it by using fwul I hard reset it but when I turned it on a twrp recovery menu appeared please help that how it fix
Hello, I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school. This is the first time I have modified the android os. The community on xda has been really helpful and knowledgeable. I have created an account to see if anyone else has done the same thing I have. Anyway read below for my post.
I am trying to change the recovery on my phone to twrp. Let me start out by saying I rooted my phone before on build number 130 (KIW-L24,Android 5.1,EMUI 3.1,C567B130,United States, Channel-Others). I used the instructions here and it worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190.
I then decided to update through the huawei updater to build number 151 (KIW-L24, Android 5.1, EMUI 3.1, C567B151, United States, Channel-Others). It eventually got to a black EMUI menu with installing 0%. So I powered it off even though it warned against it. So my phone was bricked so I followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/bricked-honor-5x-t3328308 and my phone worked again.
Okay so now I want to root my phone so I follow the instructions for rooting. Problem is that I can not replace the EMUI recovery with twrp recovery. I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update.
I use these commands on adb with the twrp_kiwi.img in my adb folder(named .android by default)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
So I wanted to see if I could put the old firmware back so I followed the instructions for bricked device. But the fastboot commands don't seem to do anything with the .img files.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
Yea so I am lost as to why fastboot commands arent working as it says finished and any advice would be appreciated.
Also is it possible to format the phone similar to a pc and use adb to flash the firmware back on.
I want to eventually backup my phone and put cyanogenmod on it.
... I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash what you want.
Have you tried reinstalling the Android device drivers on your PC?

Just one tip and advice : read up your own post carefully and you should find out what you've done wrong...

That was just background information unrelated to my post. I am currently trying to see if I can put the old firmware back to see if it fixes the problem.

TWRP works just fine on B151
plug in usb / Shut down the phone
boot to the bootloader (power + vol down)
open command prompt on PC
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
hold volume up + volume down + power till you see TWRP (about 14 seconds)
In TWRP choose reboot / recovery
Say yes to Root
recovery will reload / flash your rom
If you want to return to Stock use this >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995315154

Hi all,
think i bricked/ defected my Pace today. The idea was a mod with german language so i began to read here at xda for info. I'm on iOS now but modding on Android is nothing new for me, i modded some mobiles before, everthing workedtill today. I unlocked the bootloader and installed the mod, something went wrong i think, maybe i tried an incorrect image or something else, i don't know. After installing the watch wanted to update via OTA an after that it was shown as a Stratos in the Huami Amazfit Tool, sn was NULL an so on. The watch booted to os but the app was not able to read the QS Code for connection, touch doesn't work...
I can't say which ways i tried the last 6 to 8 hours to repair it and now i'm sure there is no bootloader/ software anymore on the watch. It starts with Amazfit Logo and stops with "No Command" & and the triangle. The only way to connect is in Fastboot, which shows chinese signs at the bottom of the display. There is no connection possible on ADB or otherwise.
Is there any way to get back the software on my watch? Maybe download mode which starts from my pc or something else? I'm on win 10 here, there is no linux machine or something else.
Thanks for reading
If you can get to fastboot and recovery, you have not deleted the bootloader.

Hi,
i tried this yesterday for about 10 to 15 attempts, but after step 4 there is no adb connection for step 5 and adb commands doesn't work. Getting the watch in fastboot is no problem anymore for me after last night
You have flashed Stratos firmware on your Pace, that's why touch didn't work. If the unbrick tutorial didn't work for you, then you should check your drivers: both drivers for adb and fastboot (they are different) should be installed and working properly. Sometimes you must re-connect the watch for the computer to detect it when the mode change, I usually keep Device Manager when I am using Windows to check this.
Or try AmazeROM installer, it has an option to start flashing from fastboot and it will guide you through the process.
Hi all,
sorry for my later post but under week i have no time for doing things like this here.
I checked adb and fastboot on the pc, installed system wide and works, fastboot drivers seems to be ok, but i have no idea how to check adb drivers. It's all the same, if i try this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...azfit-t3547300 or if i install amazeos with installer. The watch is recognized in fastboot but afterwards switching to adb there is no new connection, it's still in fastboot and does not switch to anything, i can restart it when amazeos installer script runs but nothing happens and if i let it run for about three hours the watch is still in fastboot and nothing happens there. In the device manager i see only an ADB Testing Device when in fastboot connected, on adb nothing happens there.
I tried everything on a clean win 7 machine, in this case the watch won't even recognize, so i could't run an installer or try to use the unbrick guide.
Just for information, it was Stratosfied which killed my watch in my mistake, but after that i think i deleted all with Amazfit Tools for doing the worst case for me here an unplugged it before reinstalling something else.
I attached some pics of the watch, first is after starting and directly after Amazfit logo, second is in fastboot with this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...tches/amazfit-boot-fastboot-directly-t3546829, Point two there is not reachable, only point one fastboot, but in it i can't do anything though.

I have an Oppo A51w (Oppo Mirror 5) that I just reset to factory settings, out of nowhere when I restared the phone after that it shows encryption unsuccessful, and a reset phone button, which I couldn't press.
Going into ColorOS recovery mode, I tried wiping data and cache, but wiping data doesn't work because it says I have no space it needs at least 250mb, but I remember the phone does have plenty of space, more than 7gbs, so I don't get why it shows that.
As for fastboot mode it doesn't really do anything other than show its starting logo and text and it turns off? Is there anything else I'm supposed to do I'm not sure?
Anything I could do to get past the encryption screen? I don't mind having to fully reset the phone or flash it but I might need a guide.
There is also an install from sd option in the recovery mode, if somehow it can be fixed from there then please help me with that.
The android version is 5.1.1 and ColorOS 2.1.0i
The version that shows on the ColorOS recovery is 1.2
Android 5.1 is too old. I am not sure which fastboot commands are supported for this version but you can try this even if Fastboot works for few seconds.
fastboot -w
fastboot erase userdata
If the fastboot method does not work then you need to find a MSM Download tool and correct firmware for your device model and flash it.

Does this need USB debugging? I don't have it enabled and can't enable it because I can't get past the encryption screen.
I tried using MSM download tool but for some reason it won't detect my phone and I'm not sure which usb driver to use and how to install it.
The phone also isn't rooted.
Update:
The phone is now stuck on boot loop. I tried to flash it from sd card using stock rom from the official website, without wiping data first because it wasn't possible (needs 250mb of storage space even though there IS enough free space). It said it was successful, but after rebooting it just gets stuck on boot loop.
- for adb I'd need usb debugging? Which can't be enabled
- the phone isn't rooted, so no cwm
- msm download tool I tried, v4 and v5 doesn't work it says "Packed image not exist" but v1.6.7 does? except even it won't detect the phone, and the rom that i downloaded for that from a different source had different phone model options which i do not recognize (oppo15008.bin etc and rawprogram0_MSM_15070.xml) so I'm not sure which one to choose. Maybe I haven't installed the driver but I don't know which to install and how to.
I really have no experience with this and just tried different guides on the internet to get the phone working. For now I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.
Your device seems to have Qualcomm chipset so it can be repaired in the EDL mode (9008). Search google "unbrick oppo a51w". It will give you all info you need to fix this.
If your device is not detected even after installing correct drivers, then you need to use Test Point method (shorting JTAG pins) to access EDL mode. This step needs expertise to short correct pins, if your attempts fail then your best option is the Oppo service center.

Hello. I recently brought back my x820 to life. I need a phone.
It had TWRP and a custom rom. I tried to wipe and I actually wiped too much. So I had to install stock rom again because for some reason, lineage gave me an error at install (like it wasn't the right rom but it really was since I found it here https://download.lineageos.org/x2).
So I try to install TWRP again: twrp-3.7.0_9-0-x2.img found here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/x2/
I launch ADB on a cmd prompt
- adb devices (List of devices attached e816a730 device). Super it's working and recognized
- adb reboot bootloader (phone miraculousely reboots in fastboot mode - YAY)
- fastboot devices ....... goes back to c:\ADB .... no devices found
So I reinstall ADB (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/). Y to all, reinstall drivers and everything. Reboot PC. Do everything again.....still the same weird fastboot < waiting for devices >.
Devloper options are enabled.
OEM is unlocked.
USB debugging is ON.
Cable has been changed.
Cables have been plugged on USB 2.0 ports (in the back), on 2 different computers.....still the same thing.
*#*#76937#*#* typed in and AT ports enabled.
Could someone have the kindness to help me figure out what's wrong with what I'm doing? I'm usually pretty comfortable with rooting, flashing etc....but I'm clueless here.
Thanks for any help or input.
First off, please install the Android SDK Platform Tools [instead of 15 seconds ADB installer]
Once done, install the Fastboot Drivers on your PC.
The ADB Tools [Platform Tools, 15 seconds installer, etc] don't have Fastboot binaries, so you will only be able to execute ADB-related commands and not the Fastboot ones.
Thanks.
I downloaded the fastboot drivers. But I can't seem to install them. In fastboot mode, I see this in my device manager:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
I follow instructions from here: https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-install-fastboot-drivers-in-windows-11/ (your link). Although I'm on windows 10.
When I try to update driver, whatever I do, I get this error:
Which means "the folder doesn't contain any compatible driver for your device. If it contains a driver, make sure it can work for x64 computers".
So I'm pretty sure it's a driver problem. Is there a way to completely uninstall previous drivers and go from scratch again? Or any cleverer solution?
Try removing the faulty device then disable driver signature enforcement and install drivers.
https://avalonsciences.com/wp-conte...Signature-Verification-on-Windows-8-or-10.pdf
Thanks to both of you. Especially to you binary who pointed me on the right tutorial. I was doing something wrong when updating drivers in fastboot mode. I chose a device before locating the .inf file.
YES
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The bottom screen was taken from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
"Show all devices" MUST be selected before going a step further apparently. All 3 drivers were installed flawlessly. TWRP was flashed successfully. I just need to figure out why it's still the old stock recovery showing up when I VOL+ and POWER start.
Cheers guys.

Glad that you were able to rectify the driver issue. As far as TWRP is concerned, as soon as you flash it, boot straight to it [without booting to the system] and then check out the result.
In some instances, the device tends to replace TWRP with stock recovery upon boot. So avoid booting to the OS and use fastboot reboot recovery to straightaway boot to TWRP after flashing it.
Thanks. Working great
