Anyone care to post a noob guide? (Plz!)

Place the twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img in the same directory as your fastboot.
Open a command prompt window and make sure you change the directory to your fastboot folder. Mine is C:\Atrix so the commands I used (in bold) are:
Code:
$[B]fastboot devices[/B]
TA2070AKYL fastboot
$ [B]fastboot erase recovery[/B]
erasing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.734s]
finished. total time: 0.734s
$ [B]fastboot flash recovery twrp-olympus-2.0.0RC0.img[/B]
sending 'recovery' (4172 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.266s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.719s]
finished. total time: 1.000s
$ [B]fastboot reboot[/B]
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.000s
If you haven't installed any other custom recoveries you may need to delete or backup the following file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

You are doing it wrong.
The file you are mentioning is a backup that must be restored using TWRP recovery (the version you are using seems to be correct).
You can't flash this as a custom rom nor using fastboot (with fast boot you must flash only firmware.zip file, according to the thread you linked).
Cheers.
Hey guys, newbie to installing custom ROMs so be gentle with me.
Someone gave me a rooted Xperia Z Ultra at Android 4.3.1. I previously wiped the device back to factory settings because the previous user didn't want their old data on it.
I wanted to install the latest ROM for it, so I found this thread and decided to give it a go:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...elopment/rom-marshmallow-6-0-z-ultra-t3224321
I downloaded the image files and booted into fastboot mode.
ran the fastboot commands to install each img file and reboot the device. See below:
=====================================================
fastboot flash boot boot.img"
sending 'boot' (9856 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.318s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.654s]
finished. total time: 0.979s
fastboot flash cache cache.img"
sending 'cache' (5800 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.191s]
writing 'cache'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.204s
fastboot flash system system.img"
sending 'system' (601241 KB)...
OKAY [ 18.878s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [ 43.825s]

sending 'userdata' (137490 KB)...
OKAY [ 4.346s]
writing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 9.231s]
finished. total time: 13.583s
=========================================================
Once it rebooted it never came back up again. I waited about 30 minutes just to be sure. The computer still recognizes it and I can boot into fastboot mode, but the phone never boots back into regular boot mode anymore.
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Bump!

If the ZU had 4.3 on it, its possible you have to flash the latest stock rom. I think I recall reading something about needing to flash the latest stock at least once before flashing any mm or nougat rom.
Flash the 4.4.4 ftf with flashtool. Then install xzu dual recovery by nut. After that install whatever ROM/mod you like.
EDIT: I followed this thread > https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/guide-idiots-guide-to-root-twrp-t3534647
And it worked perfectly. This thread is solved
So I got a hold of a z2 running MM and I'm trying to install twrp using linux shell.
So first I got this apparently installed right.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.1-0.img
sending 'recovery' (11558 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.365s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.774s]
finished. total time: 1.139s
But then when I try to get to the recovery, this happens...
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.1-0.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.365s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.417s
Does anyone know what the fix is for this? It's probably something simple that I'm just unaware of.
Thanks for your replies.
The cruel irony about it all, is that right after I got everything set to switch it over to being my main phone, as I inserted the sim card, the sim card slot broke inside
Hello,
Im trying to flash TWRP on my LG G5.
The installation is successful but i cant boot into it.
I already unlocked my Bootloader.
It keeps telling me this:
PS C:\adb> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

sending 'recovery' (19132 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.443s]
writing 'recovery'...

PS C:\adb> fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.418s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.449s
When i try to get into recovery with the button method i get the stock recovery.
Pls help...
That means that the bootloader is unlocked right?

Hello xda.
I am having a big problem with trying to flash a recovery image for my LG Aristo 2.
Whenever I execute the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", it comes up with this.
Code:
target reported max download size of 262144000 bytes sending 'recovery' (16954 KB)... OKAY [ 0.539s] writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: unknown command) finished. total time: 0.543s
I tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" and it gave me this.
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 0.538s] booting... FAILED (remote: unknown command) finished. total time: 0.542s
Why does it say this? Please help. I just want to root my phone.
Sidenote: This is my first time actually being able to root.
