[Q] Factory reset and flashed a new rom. I have no google apps, recovery won't load.

I have google apps in a .zip, but no way to access them. My recovery won't load. It's stuck on "checking SD card update..."
How do I fix this or have I turned my phone into a paperweight?

I've been running CM for several months, I've never had Sense 5. I installed the new CM Nightly, and it wouldn't boot, so I had to factory reset my phone and flash an old version of CM. It booted, but the Gapps didn't install. Now when I go back into my recovery (Clockwork), it won't load properly.

Ok. Does it matter that I'm using a different computer than the one I used originally?
How exactly do I do this, does my phone need to be on or off or what's the story?
Thanks very much.

phone must be in bootloader and you need fastboot files. how come your phone is on CM10 yet you don't know this fastboot thing?

I had great trouble doing it the last time. It took me several hours and I came close to bricking it a few times. I'm pretty technologically incapable. It's my bootloader thing that won't load anyway, so that's no use to me.
Is there any chance you could be a saint and compile together detailed instructions for me? If not, no worries, but I'm a bit of an idiot.

If you hold shift and right click in side the fastboot folder, it will open a cmd window in that location.
To navigate in cmd you use the CD command
E.g
CD C:\\ will take you to the root of C drive.
CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

Ok, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I had my phone plugged into the USB while trying to load the bootloader, and of course that wouldn't work. All is well now, thanks very much.

[20.2.2015][Root and stay with stock recovery]

Hello Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

Thanks, will check. Although I downloaded the drivers just today, so not sure, how it is not up to date. Anyway, will check it once I am home in 3 hours.

tried resintalling the drivers. didn't help. command prompt still keeps on waiting for device forever, while phone is in fastboot mode.
Edit:
If I cancel the third command, and check the list again, phone is not listed. Somehow, after rebooting into bootloader, phone stops the adb connection.

i am on twrp recovery can i flash this recovery on that and update the new ota?
please help

TWRP installed but no OS. Udev problem?

Hi guys!
After years playing around with android roms and devices it looks that i probably brick a device for first time.
I'll try to be brief, but if you need more info it will be a pleasure give it to you.
Now my MI6 have recovery cofface 3.1.1.-0 installed but no os. I can reboot on bootload with keys. The problem is that im unable to push a zip into the device. Commands "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" return no devices founded.
a) OTG: Recovery doesnt allow me to mount USB-OTG. I enter in Mount and when i click over USB-OTG it highlighted but the checkbox still empty.
b)Plug into pc: The phone appears and disappears each second. Tried multiples wires.
Udev not found warning shows up when I click in the device before it disappears.
c) ADB sideload: not working, cause i cant reach MI6 from PC.
I add some stuff i see in logs and could be interesting:
When i use sideload:
Code:
I: cannot find file /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct
I: cannot find file /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor
When is in appear/disappear loop:
Code:
I:[MTP]Mtpserver::run fd: 20
E:[MTP] request read returned -1, errno: 5 , exiting MtpServer::run loop
I tried to recover it from Windows and Linux even from FWUL liveiso but all same results.
Any idea is appreciated, thanks a lot!
PD: Excuse my English Besides not having a good level, I'm tired of being all day trying things

That recovery is ancient. Just use fastboot to flash a stock rom with miflash. Then flash latest twrp.

This is the first roadblock for him.
if fastboot devices can't detect his device, then any fastboot command to flash a partition is also invalid.
Have you tried different machine to do adb devices/ fastboot devices?

Yes, linux and windows. And drivers are OK cause it worked before.
I think when i wiped system the device got corrupted someway. Now if i plug it into debian machine the computer detect the phone one sec., then dissapear other second, appear again... and so on.
My idea was to flash new recovery from otg but recovery didnt mount the device. Im researching for some way to mount it manually but at the moment not success.

I'm assuming it's a driver error. Few years ago i had a mtk smartphone and somehow i managed to hard brick it, PC recognize it just for 2 or 3 seconds and that was because fastboot drivers didn't installed so i had to install it manually from device manager, for mtk drivers name was preload 89xx (driver must be for specific motherboard model number), i opened device manager, boot phone in fastboot mode, connect it to pc and on the short time wen the PC recognize the phone i hited right click and choose update driver manually, i believe it could be possible to do the same thing with mi 6, i don't know if there are separate drivers for fastboot mode to be able to install them.

Oppo A83 [CPH1729] TWRP RECOVERY

⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials​
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)​
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode​
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode​4. Flash​
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly​*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.​*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.​
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps
