[Q] No stock recovery after back to stock ROM

First of all, I would like to thank ClydeB1 for his amazing guide.
I followed his guide to getting back to stock after flashing a custom ROM.
I downloaded 3.14.401.27 ruu and the related stock recovery as pointed in his guide.
I followed the procedures and everything went smooth (the device is back to stock and is working very well) except for this little thing:
when I boot in bootloader mode and try to go in recovery mode I get the red triangle signal.
I tried to flash the stock recovery in unlocked mode several times but still I get the same signal.
My HTC ONE X has 1.36 boot and the main version is the one mentioned above.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my horrible english

the red triangle warning sign with the phone is normal. Don't worry, if you see his sign you can press vol - and power (or just the power button, can't remember) and you will enter the stock recovery !

to enter stock recovery, u have to press (vol up+ power) after u select recovery option from bootloader menu. Do this ONLY after u have selected the recovery option from the bootloader menu, if done on any other screen u may brick ur device.
Flash stock recovery n Do what I said above.

How to root the g510-200

to root your g510-200
Step 1: download and install Huawei drivers on your pc
Step 2: unlock your bootloader at this site http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/servicePolicy.do?method=preUnlock you will have to wait a day or so for your code. follow instructions on that website to unlock your bootloader.
Step 3: download
installTWRPg510.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OR
installCWMg510.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and extract to desktop.
Step 4: go to settings on your phone, enable usb debugging and turn fast boot off. Now connect you phone to your pc in fastboot mode (start phone while holding volume down to enter fastboot mode. phone will stay on boot animation) go to the folder on your desktop and click the install-windows batch file. press any key to reboot. you now have cwm or twrp recovery installed.
Step 5: copy UPDATE-superSU.zip to your sd card and reboot phone into recovery by starting the phone while holding down the volume up button. choose install zip from sd card and flash
UPDATE-superSU.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
your phone is now rooted. keep this file in your sd card because some custom roms don't have root and you will need to re-flash this file. if superSU doesnt show up in your apps just download it from marketplace its free.
Step 6: make a back up of your stock rooted rom before you start flashing any custom roms.

I have tested this myself!
I have a g510-0200 with b189 optus firmware and i rooted my phone this way. Then restored it to stock factory b173 rom then rooted it again. So it works very well on both firmwares. :good:

ROMS!!!!
There are plenty of roms to try here! http://www.modaco.com/topic/365268-all-custom-roms-for-huawei-ascend-y300g510/ you can flash y300 (u8833) roms on your g510 too. you can flash custom g510-0100 roms on your g510-0200 phone and visa versa as long as your flashing them in a custom recovery. However if you are downloading factory stock firmware from huawei and installing it via the dload method on your sd card you MUST have the correct firmware eg: g510-0200 on a g510-0200 phone. This is only what ive read and im not willing to brick my phone. correct me if im wrong?

Not able to get into TWRP or CWM
Hey there sonyachin!
I too have the same phone model as yours... Huawei Ascend G510-0200
I have rooted it using another method
But I can't seem to get it in CWM or TWRP...
Will I still able to use your method of getting TWRP or CWM without Unrooting and Re-Rooting again???
It will be really a great help if you can reply fast!!!
Im new to rooting so... Yeah...

[Q] Before flashing.

This is my first post:silly:
I would like to ask do I need a stock 4.1 android before flashing CM11. No website says such a thing but the original thread says yes.
Also how to install CWM on Xperia m because I am lost...:silly:
Please help and thanks if anyone does :angel:
Oh and also how to get back to stock 4.1.2 then

Not necessary, but if something goes wrong while flashing custom ROM, you will need that stock ROM to flash.
It is always good to have stock firmware..
for the CWM, first of all you need to unlock your bootloader.(i assume that you unlocked it.) and download cwm file and extract it on desktop then go to flashtool and conect your mobile in fastboot (use volume + key) blue light will appear.
click on flash button- fastboot- flash kernel.after finish start your mobile and start pressing volume + key..you will boot in recovery mode.
Thanks if helped

Finally got round to rooting my xperia s and unlocking bootloader with view to installing 4.4.4
Everything has gone fine to the point i tried to install a recvoery
First tried to install TWRP recovery which install went fine but i couldnt get phone in to recvoery so i then installed clockwork mod recovery and still cant get phone in to recvoery.
I installed ROM manager and it shows under recvoery already installed clockworkmod recvoery & TWRP recovery but even when i select boot in to recovery from that phone just turns on as normal.
Have tried holding volume up/down button on sony flash but no good
Have tapped screen when sony logo showing and phone just seems to lock

Which ROM are You trying to flash? If it is a Kitkat ROM as You mentioned, then first copy the ROM and gapps to phone for flashing purposes .
Now, on PC, extract the boot.img from rom zip and flash it via fastboot. Then flash the ROM via twrp which would be installed from that boot.img!

Well did that and phone will now only boot to Sony image and just sits on it.
Still cant get in to recovery but can get in to flash mode so tried reflashing this and original firmware but no matter what it just sticks on Sony and wont boot any further than that.
Looks like i got a brick :crying:

You must have not flashed the rom after flashing the boot.img. That's why it used to get stuck on boot logo of Sony. The kernel(boot.img) of any Kitkat ROM won't with JB ROM as far as I know.
Don't worry, there is still hope since You can at least get it to boot up halfway.
That flashing the original ftf is weird. Are You sure the ftf file is proper? Try downloading a new one. or if You were able to successfully able to flash the original firmware according to flashtool, try flashing it again using Sony Update Service(SUS). Can't guarantee the SUS will work or not.

Hello.
I'm trying to get this **** working as well, but even though it seems like you gave some crystal clear instructions I still manage to not understand it. I unlocked the bootloader on my S and downloaded. All I really wanted to do was get a good 4.4 ROM running, any chance you could toss an idiot some help?
From what I understand:
1. copy the ROM zip-file over to phone
2. connect phone to pc and fastboot it
3. flash the boot.img from the rom zip-file
4. flash the ROM (how?)
I did a quick google on twrp but don't quite understand what I need it for or if I need it.
EDIT: After a bit of looking, apparently the ROM I'm looking to flash (Paranoid Android) installs twrp when you flash the boot.img. Just in case that changes anything.

Brick?
Hi. So I just tried to flash the boot.img from the latest Paranoid Android, got 0 errors or bad blocks, succesful flash according to cmd. I did fastboot reboot as the guide here says: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866
LED notification goes pink for a few seconds, I get the Sony logo then just an infinite black screen. Left it on for about 15 minutes with no success. I tried force rebooting/shutting it down with volup+power for 5/10 seconds, but both of them just result in the phone getting instantly turned back on and going pink LED->Sony logo->black screen. This means I can't (from what I can tell anyway) boot into fastboot (vol-up+connect to USB does nothing, vol-down+connect to USB gets me a green LED for a few seconds but then goes over to pink LED, Sony logo and then black screen).
I would really appreciate any kind of help right now, even just advice on how to turn this phone off would be fantastic, because right now that also seems impossible.

No worries! If You were able to perform upto step no.3 properly, then when You boot into twrp(Press volume up button 2-3 times while booting up), there is an option there called as "Install". In that You select the zip file of the ROM and slide the bar to install it!

Holy **** this might have just done it! It wasn't actually twrp but CWM I believe, but I did manage to successfully flash the ROM. Seems to be working as of right now so fingers crossed and a massive thank you!

Hello Vatsalbh9, follow the steps in video to root your phone.
1. Yes you need to root your device to use custom recovery.
2 & 3. You need to use odin first to get cwm recovery installed in your phone. Follow video steps.
4. When you have installed cwm recovery mode with odin, just go to recovery mode (keep holding vol up+power+home button until samsung galaxy grand gt i9082 logo appears on screen). Der you will see backup option. So make a nandroid backup in your external sd card and transfer that backup (clockworkmod folder in your ext sd card) in your laptop or pc for future use.
Download the files given in the description of the video.

Also I would suggest you to make efs backup. Go to the following thread for making efs backup

No need of downloading stock rom, just make a nandroid backup for future use if you want to go back to stock rom. Download any of the custom rom given in the development thread.

Follow these steps for nandroid backup :-
1. Enter into recovery mode(vol up+power+home button)
2. U will see many options like - reboot system, install from zip, wipe data... Bla bla bla... And BACKUP AND RESTORE
3. Select Backup & Restore option.
4. Once u select it, again many options will come but choose backup on ext sd card/sdcard01
5. Nandroid backup will take around 5-10 mins depending upon your data size.
6. Once the process is complete, you will see a text written on bottom of screen 'Backup is complete'.... Go back to previous menu and reboot your phone.
7. You will find "clockworkmode" folder in your ext sd card. This folder contains your nandroid backup. Transfer this folder to another safe location like pc or laptop.
Note.. While in cwm recovery mode, use vol up and down key for navigation and power key for selecting any particular option.
Also dont increase comments for saying thanks, just press the thanks button
For installing any custom rom, download and save the rom, GApps in your ext sd card and flash them in cwm recovery mode.
Steps for installing rom will be given in respective rom threads but generally these steps are to be performed :-
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Install rom(zip)
Once installation is complete, install GApps
5. Wipe cache partition
6. Wipe delvik cache
7. Reboot your phone.
First boot of every custom rom will take a longer time to boot.. Varying from 3-10 mins, so dont panic.
Also some custom roms require latest version of cwm recovery, so before installing custom rom, download the recovery and flash it..
1. In cwm( if it is a zip file)
Or
2. In odin( if it is a. Img or. Tar file)

Redo the process.... I think cwm is not installed on ur phone yet. When you see pass in odin.. Just remove the battery manually... Wait for 5-6 seconds.. Den reboot your phone.. Once a normal reboot is completed... Den go to recovery mode....
Hope u get it this time.

Ok...
Is the CWM provided in the YouTube link is latest ?
Cz if I want to install latest rom will it support ?
And is it necessary to flash supersu via CWM for installing custom rom ? Or only CWM is enough ?

No it isnt the latest version, but it will help you to proceed further. Once you get this cwm recovery mode, you can easily flash latest version as well.. And there will be a link given for recommend recovery in rom thread.
No it isnt necessary to flash super su as all cm11 based roms have inbuilt super su with them.

Seems like you dont have usb drivers installed properly in your pc. Does the ID:Com turns into blue color when you connect your phone to pc? If not then install samsung kies first on ur pc.
See d screenshot... The portion circled should be blue... Before hitting start.

Yes sir it turns blue...it says about ID:COM(3) something...

1. Use this recovery by pawitp
2. Untick Auto reboot checkbox in Odin.
3. Once Odin shows pass, remove battery, wait 10-15 secs, re-insert and enter Recovery mode (by pressing Vol up +. Power button + Home keys at once until u see boot loader screen and release immediately).

Before you start odin kill kies at background using task manager else it will fail

I didnt immediately took off the battery... I let the fon boot after flashing... I think im making a mistake there... cz I had checked auto reboot in my attempts...

Now im gonna try by unchecking auto reboot option...
When Odin will display Pass, I will disconnect fon from usb and then take off the battery...
Will wait for 15 secs and then will try to boot into recovery mode...
Hope its all done... Fingers crossed...
And I have to release all three buttons(up+home+power)when galaxy grand logo appears... is it right ?
