Heres the deal.
I got my hands on the walkman and whole android thing is pretty new to me,but i heard a lot of good responses about cyanogen and was wanting to instal it,but i faced some issues:
What I did: I unlocked the bootloader by following thread from sony site,loader was set to allow unlock,so this went succesfully i think.
Next a root was needed,tried several methods and nothing,then helped the one at talk.sonymobile
Hooray,SU app is in,allowed tiatnium and CWM installed sucessfully,phone is rooted.
Now I followed the tutorial from Cyanogen site.
Placed the rom and gapps in sd card,extracted the .img file to fastboot folder,everything is set,now I open the CMD promt in the fastboot folder,fastboot found the device,I hit the : ''fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img'' tried also '' fastboot flash boot boot.img'' but the cmd throws FAILED(the device must be rooted first).
What went wrong?the device is rooted already...I'm confused.Any suggestions?
and I wondered,is that cmd boot flash necessary,maybe i can install the cyanogen.zip and gapps.zip from cwm recovery console where it is said install from zip,cause the zip contains the boot.img and i was thinking,maybe it is possible to do it without the cmd thing.

Install the drivers from flashtool and try it with flashtool
No, on our xperia devices we have to flash the kernel first, we can't flash it via cwm

Without CMD Flash Tool would not have been able to even flash a custom kernel as fastboot.exe requires CMD. As for your problem, dial this in your phone pad - *#*#7378423#*#*
If you have successfully unlocked your bootloader, then 'Rooting Status" will show "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" else you have not done the process properly. Make sure that you have typed the unlocked code properly. The 'o' may look like in the unlock code '0'. It is safer to copy and paste the unlock code. Also, try running CMD as administrator.
check again if u already unlocked bootloader, if bootloader unlocked:yes, u have unlocked bootloader, if bootloader unlock allowed:yes, means that ur phone can unlocked bootloader n need to unlocked
Thx

thank you,the first attempt for unlocking bootloader was un sucessfull.Running CMD as administrator and typing unlock code in CAPS did it.
Now im on Cyan 9.1
thx all
So,its not possible to flash a kernel using cwm? I ve been told that in cyanogenmod you already have rom and kernel in one zip and there is no need for use of flashtool...i guess i was told wrong?

I think it can be done on newer phones, but on 2011 models, it can't be done, u have to flash kernel using fast boot in pc. But u do Ave the kernel in the same zip

Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader officially through the unlock tool and wanted to flash a custom recovery and also root my device (Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon).
I was on Global Dev (6.5.19) before I even started to unlock my bootloader.
After unlock, I was succesffuly able to flash Cofface TWRP recovery through fastboot (well the command prompt didn't throw up any errors and had a success message).
However, when i reboot into recovery (either through button combination or "adb reboot recovery", I just get a screen that shows an image of a phone and USB cable" (similar to the image on the official bootloader unlock tool.
I checked whether the bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem device-info) and it was indeed unlocked.
I have factory reset and reflashed 6.5.19 (Global dev rom) with MiFlash and this hasn't made any difference.
I also relocked the bootloader with MiFlash Beta and then unlocked successfully with the official unlock tool.
All of these steps still haven't made a difference.
Can someone please advise on the next step to do (as unlocked bootloader is pretty useless if I can't install a custom recovery).
P.S. I also get the same phone and usb cable image when booting into stock recovery
find it weird problem
if you dont,then first just boot the recovery
code:- fastboot boot xxxrecovery.img where xxxrecovery replace your own recovery img name in fastboot folder.
you must success and see twrp recovery
then again transfer img to sdcard and to flash from recovery.
then flash it from recovery and when you reboot ,just swipe to diseable rom to replace it with stock one.
find it really weird ,i did it hundredths of time in my offi unlocked and every time goes fine flashing recovery from fastboot
Hit thanks if i helped
please follow this... it does help for me.

I have the same problem .How u solved your problem?
You can easily flash this one ZCX Twrp. Is the best i didn`t encountered any issue until now. I`ve flashed custom roms and miui roms as well.. The install process is very simple, follow this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448
Hello!
Today i was trying to return to factory conditions on my mido (recovery, ROM, bootloader, etc) but i locked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" instead of doing it with miunlock.
Now i am unable to flash anything, from fastboot roms, to custom recoveries, to anything.
Is there any way i can try and revive my device? I tried using miflash, unlocking again with miunlock, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo
Try this
Boot into bootloader and then connect to pc install mi flash tool and then after downloading rom click on clean and lock
Solved by using miunlock version at this link http<colon><slash><slash>en<dot>miui<dot>com<slash>forum<dot>php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=204866&pid=
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully (amazingly!), flashed the fastboot rom with miflash and phone revived!
Hope this can be helpful to people with my same problem!
root: for A.87 stock rom
Unlock bootloader and place the mentioned two files to Platform tools folder on your pc.
Download "vbmeta.img" and "Magisk_patched.img"

Can't root rui 2.0 (Android 11), and can't install custom recovery except "los recovery" but can't do any thing with it just wiping cache and data partition.
do not try to flash custom recovery on realme ui 2.0 , it will brick your device
I need to ask, this guide will work with A88/A89 update?
sorry for noob question - I'm not familiar with mediatek devices and rooting/flashing stuff. Currently I'm running crdroid. What steps are neccessary to get rooted stock? is it:
- flash original firmware (how? SPTool?)
- issue all the commands from OP?
Or do I need anything else?

Yes. Just flash the original firmware using SP Flash-Tools. However, youmust make sure it is the full 7-8 GB ROM, and not an OTA file. Also, ensure that you are flashing the correct ROM for your model. If your model is an RMX2155, you'll need to follow this guide steps 1-through-to-10 (inclusive):
[GUIDE] REALME 7 RMX2155 GLOBAL BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
WELCOME, ALL. After a very tiring process of swapping between ROMs and changing regions, APKs, et cetera, we have finally been able to perfect the method for unlocking the bootloader of the RMX2155! This is a detailed guide aimed to give you an...
forum.xda-developers.com
If it is any other model, just do what is said to work. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the other versions.
thanks the explanation.
I've found a 2155 ROM or at least a file that's said to be - ie. I've found a file 'RMX2155export_11_C.09_2021070809260000', extracted that, there was a huge file 'RMX2155export_11_C.09_2021070809260000.ofp' inside; using oppo-decrypt from github I've got bunch of files with names that seem to be SPFlashTool ROM.
Assuming it's a proper ROM: if I have already unlocked the bootloader, do I have to flash the rom and do the 10 steps from the tutorial or could I replace recovery.img and magisk-patched boot.img and flash rooted rom immediately? Sorry if it sound noobish, but I don't want to brick the phone.
I'm curious to try to go back to stock ROM for a while, because of call quality (I believe changing it to Vietnam needed for unlock made the call quality worse) and to check the camera and it's libraries - I'm running crdroid, photo quality is disappointing no matter what GCam/settings/tweaks I use and there are only imx682/imx471 libs on the phone there are samsung libs, but diagnose apps like aida show the main sensor is imx682, but the EU version of realme 7 is said to have different back camera sensor (GM1). Not sure if RMX2151 ROMs would include proper GM1 libs if that's true about sensor differences between RMX2151 and 2155.
Hi, so several months ago i installed MIUI 12 weekly to my Xiaomi Mi A3, and now I wanted to upgrade to the stable release. When i was flashing a boot image file, after restart, my twrp dissapear. I tried to flash the rom using Mi Flash on PC, but i touched the cable and the phone disconnected, locking the bootloader in the process. I have no OS, my bootloader is locked. Is my phone truly dead?
I also forgot to uninstall Magisk root from my phone, so it's my full mistake. adb doesn't recognize my phone. I can only turn on the phone, leave it on boot until the battery drains, or the fastboot. Is there any chances that I can save my phone?
did you tray loading twrp when you are in fastboot mode?

I can't. It says i cannot flash while in Lock State. Basically i can't do anything without unlocked bootloader.
well unlock it, you have 2 comands to put.
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device) after i used the commands you told me.
What should I do next?
And Mi Unlock tool can't unlock the device, because I need to change some settings in Developer Options, and I have no rom.
did you try switching slots?
fastboot getvar current-slot
Getvar Variable not found
f###,
then only some recovery option with
mi tools.
Download mi a3 platform tool file then download fastboot and fastboot unlock critical file paste these both in platform tool folder then plug device through fastboot to pc then first click on fastboot unlock and then fastboot unlocking critical it will be unlocked then install the rom through mi flash
