[Help] can't install custom recovery on Lenovo Vibe C at all! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
A newbie here ...
My new phone "Lenovo Vibe C (A2020)" does not allow me to install any kind of custom recovery on it, I tried the following methods ...
1- SP Flash Tool: doesn't detect my phone at all, even after installing all drivers (Qualcomm, MTK, Etc ,,, ).
2- Adb and fastboot: whenever I try to flash a recovery, it only shows (waiting for a device) command, even after being detected by "adb devices" command, and showing device ID.
3- flashing apps: I used flashify and thrasher, at the beginning they both show a successful flashing process, up until rebooting to recovery, then only shows "Lenovo" logo for a second right before turning the phone off.
that's what i did, any help would be appreciated.
Note: the phone isn't even indexed in the site's database ... I wonder why!

You should unlock the bootloader first after rooting your device

Hello there. I do hope that you can still boot your device normally. If you can, please do make a backup of your rom.
(a) Download and install the latest driver for your device
(b) Download the latest adb and fastboot tool (I recommend Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
(c) Download the custom recovery image. Save/copy it on the root directory of your ADB and Fastboot folder.
(d) In your device, go to settings > developer > enable oem unlocking and usb debugging (which is I guess you already did).
(e) Now open your terminal/cmd: adb reboot bootloader (this will boot your device in fastboot)
(f) In terminal/cmd: fastboot oem unlock (or fastboot oem unlock-go)
(g) Now flash the custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
***I suggest you try first if the custom recovery image works: fastboot boot recovery.img
(h) Reboot into recovery and check if it works.

is it possible to flash recovery via fastboot?

hi
I have sony ericsson neo v(MT15i) with unlocked bootloader
my phone is locked with password and I do not know the password.(I need my contacts and other data) , adb debug is not active
I want to install cwm via fastboot , then I will be able to install aroma file manager and I will be able to delete "password.key' and "gesture.key"
if you have adb and fastboot in your pc the only way i can help is this:unzip recoveryneo.zip and get recoveryneo.img.put it in androidsdk/tools.(you must have fastboot there too).then in terminal type:
Code:
fastboot devices (you must see the SN of your device)
fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img
after finish
fastboot reboot
this will not install cwm on your phone.this will just boot in recovery without install it.after you reboot there is no recovery.

Please help

I am having a REAL BUGGER of a time with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)!
1. It is not recognized by ADB in Fastboot mode.
2. I suspect it shipped wit a vendor ROM, and I'm trying to flash latest Official MIUI Global Dev (Marshmallow) ROM, but I keep getting errors in MI Flash (screenshot attached).
3. I want to Flash TWRP, BUT ADB isn't working, AND I cannot get to the download page for the cracked bootloader.
4. Seriously considering Resurrection Remix ROM, instead, but most of the above issues still apply.
I am NOT new to custom recoveries, flashing ROMS, ADB etc, BUT I am dealing with a new PC (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, like my old (dead) laptop), and I'm new to this device.
PLEASE HELP. (Quite frustrated)
Fastboot won't recognize adb commands you have to use fastboot.
What you can try is booting into emergency download mode and using my flash to flash it from there. I think it's " adb reboot edl" while the device is on with USB debugging or using the mi updater app ( tap the three dots I think).
I think that this is not the correct section for your question, and i dont know the procedure that you follow but try to follow this procedure:
-Connect the phone at pc with USB cable
-Make sure that debug mode and OEM unlock was abilitate in dev settings
-Copy twrp.img in adb folder
-Shut down the phone and press power botton and - vol buttons for enter in fastboot mode
-Run this commands by terminal open in adb folder
fastboot devices
-If fastboot recognize correctly the device run this command
fastboot fash recovery nameoftwrp.img
-After reboot the device with this command
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboot press immediatily vol + for enter in twrp
Good luck
GOT IT! FINALLY!
-I finally got ADB to connect, and was able to enter EDL through ADB.
-Re-downloaded ROM from web.
-Re-extracted.
-FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY!
-SETUP COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!
-YAY!
(I think the original download was corrupted, somehow.)

Oneplus X brick

Hello guys,
i have a bricked rooted oneplus x
I had issues with the rooted rom so i flashed the newest stock rom via twrp
The phone boots up and showed the usual otimizing apps message. After the proccess is done it just the usual "let me helpt set up your phone page" and then restarts
I cant acces twrp anymore and when i try to acces the stock recovery it just shows a oneplus logo
I do have access to fastboot though (i hope that leaves some hope)
I have tried the MegaUnbrickGuide here in the forum but i wasn't able to install the drivers i need for that method
One more thing whenever i try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
i get the "remote dtb not found" message
Does that have to do with developer options not being unlocked?
Any ideas on how to just get some form of working os installed on the device
(i dont care wheter rooted or not at this point have been trying stuff for hours now)
regards
Jan
First download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it.
Go into fastboot mode.
1. Re-unlock your bootloader using the command - fastboot oem unlock
2. After doing that, download the latest version of TWRP(which at the time of writing this is 3.1.0) and rename it to 'recovery.img'
3. Open a command window in the place you have downloaded the recovery by pressing the shift key and right clicking and then choosing the option Open Command WIndow Here... Flash the recovery using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot into it using the command fastboot boot recovery.img
5. If it still gives 'remote dtb not found' then follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/help/opx-remote-dtb-solution-t3480274
6. If it boots into recovery, your phone is now fine and go ahead and flash whatever ROM you want.
Cheers!

I am sorry to say that but I guess nothing could be done to fix your tablet. I would be happy to proven wrong and see some solutions in this thread.
@XX_MRBEAN_XX
The mostly overlooked command
Code:
adb sideload <ROM / MOD>
may help: Get device's Stock ROM and flash it this way.

When I do recovery --> apply update from adb it's say "E: failed to open driver control: Permission denied"

1. Looks to me that the ADB-driver you use isn't suitable: Download and install the correct driver for your Lenovo. tab:
https://devsjournal.com/download-lenovo-usb-drivers-adb.html
2. Wondering why then you didn't flash this Stock ROM by means of Fastboot ?
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flashall <STOCK-ROM-IMG>
fastboot reboot

Oh man
become familiar with Fastboot-driver and its subcommands available!!!
Anyway, unlock tab's boot-loader by means of Fastboot before you carry out the commands previously shown
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot OEM unlock
FYI: I no longer participate with this thread.

To rescue a bricked Lenovo device, download their LMSA tool to a Windows PC. Use the Rescue option.
Have a look on the TWRP thread for the unlock commands. They will only work if you had already enabled Developer Options and OEM unlocking before the device bricked.
