HI,
I inherited this phone. ( D6503 )
Fixed a few hardware problems, now looking at software improvements.
I have unlocked the bootloader , but for the life of me I cannot get a recovery on this phone??
I have previoiusly done flashing on nokia, motorola and Nexus, but I am having no luck with this sony
I am able to connect using ADB, and can get to fastboot, but it stops there.
Issuing '' fastboot boot twrp.img'' ( to try and boot temporarily to twrp ) gives me a blank screen.
issuing ''fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'' does the same.
I cannot get a bootloader screen at all, even using the key combinations.
I cannot boot any recovery at all.
Is there someone here who can put me out of my misery
I am not looking to perform anything fancy, I just want to flash the latest lineage to see how it performs
Many Thanks in advance.

Anybody???
I have rooted the z2 by dropping down to 5.11, installed the twrp app, then flashed recommended version of twrpl
Then when I power off the phone, and press the power and volume down buttons, instead of booting into twrp after 7 or so seconds, it just reboots after abour 2-3 seconds???
Can anybody help?-------please
I have even tried rooting , then installing twrp by either 1) fastboot or 2) twrp app.
I then installed NDR utils, to reboot to recovery - it still reboots to main system??
HEEELLPP !
I also tried flashing TWRP with 1) fastboot and 2)the twrp app,
I then installed NDR utils ( i have root ) , and it still wont boot into recovery, just straight into system???
HEELLPP!!

Hi all!!
I have a Lanix ilium x200, which is a legacy device running 4.4.4. I rooted it with iRoot, and I followed an online tutorial I found to try to get twrp. It told me to download an unofficial flashify by Christian Göllner and flash twrp.img as a boot image. I did that, but halfway, I realized that didn't make a lot of sense, so I stopped it, killed the app, then flashed it as a recovery. Then, I didn't think much about it until my phone ran out of battery.
I tried to boot system, and it flashes white for a second, then nothing. Same thing with recovery (If I press volume up + volume down + power button, it gives me the option to boot system of recovery). I tried executing fastboot commands in the vol up + vol down + pwr mode (I can't tell if it's bootloader or fastboot mode or even either of then), but it isn't listed in fastboot devices, and it quickly (attempts) to boot into system. I tried using SP flash tool to flash stock recovery and boot.img, but it won't detect the device either. The phone just shows the battery charging indicator (even if I try booting it, it just flashes white and goes back to the battery indicator), and SP flash tool doesn't detect a thing (yes, I tried installing the drivers). Does anyone have an idea on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!!
TL;DR rooted and flashed twrp.img as boot image and as recovery in flashify. Cannot boot system or recovery. Not detected by SP Flash tool

Got any advice to say?
[SOLVED]
Nevermind. I fixed it myself. Turns out I didn't install the correct drivers for SP Flash tool. This time, it detected my device and flashed to my phone perfectly. I'm now running stock 4.4.4 without any problems.
R3 Pro (3GB/32GB, 2015817 version) came with some chinese/sellers custom ROM (and locked bootloader). It was heavy and bloated, so I decided to update it. Tried latest global stable (fastboot) ROM via miflash, flash was successful but that's was a lie - it stuck on mi logo...
Then I tried various other ROMs, global and developers, latest and older, some xiaomi.eu, manhit, etc. (for locked bootloader) and all I've got was either just a mi logo or mi logo with "powered by android" animation beneth. I left it for hours after flash and still nothing.
Then I found some ways to flash twrp, did that successfully, booted into it, wonder around in terminal and file manager, tried some recovery ROMs - but the result is the same - just logo or logo + animation.
I can get into fastboot (but it doesn't realy matters since bootloader is locked), download (EDL) mode, that Xiaomi menu (with Power and Vol+, with "shortcuts" to all the modes, hardware tests - btw. everything works there, etc.), twrp, charge battery (with some ROMs phone just gets warm and I know it's charging, there are no LED and/or animation, but in some everything works just like it should), but just can't boot into OS.
And I'm going nuts!
Here are some logs from the last ROM (i don't even know anymore which one is it) - pastebin.com/qaKVzxue and pastebin.com/dM3nEVj0
I'm not so experienced in looking at that but seems like every other thing in there, like cpu, i2c (touch/sensor), sound, battery, etc. is broken/faulty which is not true - everything was fine before update, and everything IS still fine according to inbuilt (xiaomi) hardware tests.
So somehow it seems that all the ido ROMs I tried are wrong for this device? Or am I missing something (quite possibly, I'm tired and pissed off)
Last night I did a backup of efs/nvram and then wiped internal memory/partitions, flashed latest global ROM, restored efs/nvram - phone stuck, but this time not on MI logo but freakin' penguin logo (like here en.miui.com/thread-377870-1-1.html). Same logo is for fastboot mode, no more bunny. Then flashed twrp and phone now shows mi logo with "powered by android" animation beneath, like before...
I don't know how this works with Xiaomi phones, but looks like it worked with some factory/seller special combination of ROM and bootloader. Then I did update and something stuck, maybe differences between ROM and bootloader, or some inside/hidden security mechanism that stops boot process? And because I can't find original firmware and/or bootloader is locked (maybe even updated?) it's now stuck...
Either that or some HW fault, but it would be insane that official ROM update with official tools and in factory download mode with full battery can cause such problem!
Can you go to twrp recovery?
Yes, like I said in the first post. I can do anything but boot android/MIUI. It's either because of locked bootloader or somehow official ROM installed officialy (via MiFlash in EDL mode) bricked phone, which is catastrophic bug i.e. epic design/implementation fail by Xiaomi.
Try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/help/bootloop-bootloader-locked-options-t3331139
Sorry to intrude, I have pretty much the same problem.
Phone is stuck in bootloop and I can only access fastboot mode and EDL mode (but in EDL the phone does not connect to pc) and when I try to flash a stock ROM (since I know it is a software issue due to an unfortunate update) it says "locked device". So I tried to unlock it via MiUnlock... but phone cannot be verified 'cause "account not bound to this device" and obviously I cannot change any options since I cannot use my phone.
Please, help
it was happened to me about 3 days ago when i play around with the twrp & rooting thingy... tried everything from youtube to various forum solutions... just one link really works when you only have fastboot options and your phone bootloader is still unlocked. just follow the steps in the OP... key things here is downloading the tool to read your phone as mentioned in the OP i.e [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [1-6-17]
1) Download Tool -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2) Follow all the steps in the OP -> http://en.miui.com/thread-277276-1-1.html
3) Enjoy your phone from back from the dead.. LOL!
4) Remember here, the key is NEVER GIVE UP and PATIENT!
NOTE : The Device will start, wait till completion , it can take up to 10 Minutes. -> for me around 15-20 minutes for I have flashed the current beta rom of MIUI8 7.6.8
cheers, guys!
blx-
I had a similar situation.
Officially unlocked boot loader. Flashed TWRP using fastboot. Only got the mi logo and a boot loop on start up.
Could not turn on. Could not boot into TWRP.
When the phone was boot looping I could still get into fastboot mode by holding power+volume down.
I booted from fastboot mode into TWRP by opening the command prompts and using
"fastboot boot twrp2.img"
That got the phone available from windows explorer. I was able to move a new ROM image to the SD card and install from TWRP.
Currently running lineage 14.1 -20190112.
I lost a bunch of **** but my phone seems to turn on for the moment.
Note, I still cannot boot into TWRP using the phone only. I can only boot in from fast boot as above.
Hello,
I have a Wileyfox Spark since few months. At the beggining it was running with CM. Two weeks ago, I made the update from CM to Android Nougat, but after giving a try I dislike it. So I have tried (for the first time) to flash another ROM (CM or Lineage) but it is a pain.
As I was unable to root my device, I have used adb and fastboot to install twrp.
Here are the commands I enter :
Code:
adb reboot-recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Then I press to volume down button to display the recovery menu but, instead of displaying the menu, the device boot again and again until I'm tired and I release the button. Then the phone boot normaly on Android...
For information, if I apply all these actions except the fastboot flash I can enter the recovery menu.
Am I wrong or missing something ?
Thanks for your help.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same here,but try releasing the Power-Button once it starts, helped for me booting into TWRP anyways.
BTW, how'd you manage to root that thing before? I am not able to do jacksh**t.
thanks a lot!
I can help you to get back booting up that phone again as it was. Is it still with that problem? I suspect you entered fastboot, unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP on bootup the phone needed the stock recovery in order to factory reset due to the unlocking of bootloader. This way it boots to TWRP and runs the Open Recovery Script to decrypt and reset the device. This becomes impossible at certain progress and thus phone keeps on going to TWRP instead of booting. I shall address the issue well if you're still in need of this. I'm using the same phone also here

So this old thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/strange-problem-black-screen-redmi-note-t3716706
used to work for me. I downloaded the v17 twrp given by highwaystar_ru, and flashed it via adb, rebooting to bootloader, then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, then rebooting via power+vol up buttons.
However it is no longer working - there is no visual display.
adb devices detects the device in recovery mode
Touching my finger randomly on the screen, it vibrates. I verified that this actually still 'works' on the TWRP menu, so it's definitely the fault of TWRP just not displaying on my screen.
The official TWRP download does not seem to work either.
Any advice and experience is welcome, thanks
Hey can you try these TWRP and tell me if the problem persists:
Dark Recovery Project:

Redwolf Recovery Project:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...t/recovery-red-wolf-recovery-project-t3653704
Twrp Exclusive:

Twrp exclusive(this might work for your black screen its for ebbg display so try it as well):
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754473934
If the problem still persists then idk try restoring your phone to stock by Mi kdz files by following this guide if you dont know:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-revive-redmi-note-4x-codename-t3703365
It says bricked but you can use it aswell, and try repeating the proccess of unlocking bootloader(now you can unlock it whenever you want because xiaomi has already given you the permission) and flashing a twrp again.
Hopefully i helped
Flashing all four of those links with fastboot flash recovery, then leaving the phone plugged in and pressing key combination to get back to recovery, do not work.
I have since fixed it. Not sure why it wasn't working, but here were my steps:
Install MiFlash tool.
Go to bootloader/fastboot mode on phone.
Flash an 8.1.11 ROM.
Then everything works from there, and can reinstall the v17 ebbg TWRP as usual.
Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
