Want to root Bootloader unlocked what next - Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have unlocked bootloader of my desire 820u Indian version running on lollipop 5.0.2. Now I want to root it, I have twrp and su file also don't know how to proceed further. When I click on recovery a command window opens with Chinese language I don't know what to do next. I m having S-ON in fastboot mode and. Is it safe to flash custom recovery with S-ON? Plz help ?

Which custom recovery you have? Is it TWRP 2.8.7.0 with exe file format?
Then switch on your phone an turn on usb debugging mode and then go to security and turn on the "Unknown Sources" mode. Place SuperSU.zip file in sd card.
Switch off your phone and go to fastboot mode. Connect your phone with PC. And open command window and type "fastboot devices" -> It should be having some code like HT******** and device should be listed there. If it's showing waiting for devices, then you need to install the drivers for mobile and check it again. Now close the command box.
NOW
if you're having recovery.exe then just open the file and press any key while mobile is connected with PC. It'll flash the recovery automatically. When it'll end switch off the phone and go to recovery mode. then select install and find the supersu zip file and swipe it to flash.
And if you're having recovery.img then you need to download the fastboot folder (find it in other threads) and then place the recovery.img to the same folder. Now open the folder and press shift+right click-> open command window here. Then connect the phone in fastboot mode and check for fastboot device is connected or not. then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
*Recovery file must be named as recovery and extension should be img. It should not be like recovery.img.img *
CONGRATULATIONS This will help you to root your phone.

@coolmmk07 Thanks a lot mate for such a detailed reply ? just one more question, in fastboot mode it shows S-ON is it safe to flash custom recovery with S-ON? Does it make any difference?

S-on AND Root

I've been posting here and there around here lately but thought I'd get a cleaner, more focused thread going for those of us who used HTC's unlock tool and want root.
I managed to get the bootloader unlocked with HTC's tool and installed SU and clockwork onto my Inc2 but I think I'm having problems because I'm still S-On instead of S-Off.
So, what do we do next after unlocking the bootloader? I'm under the impression that because I'm S-On still, I can flash a custom ROM, but not only the ones with the stock kernel intact. This would be why Sabotage was able to install, but Mik wouldn't. Still only a theory, though.
ANY HELP PLEASE!!!

There are 2 options to flash a custom ROM that has a custom kernel on an unlocked bootloader.
1. Instead of booting to recovery mode directly, you need to boot in Fastboot mode and issue the command:
Fastboot boot [path to custom recovery.img]
This will boot you into recovery mode using the custom recovery image. Then you can flash a custom ROM with a custom kernel correctly.
2. Extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and copy it to your SDK tool directory.
Then boot into recovery mode and flash the custom ROM. Next you must reboot into bootloader mode and enter Fastboot mode. Enter the following command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file].
Try either option 1 or option 2. You do not need to do both.
Hope this helps.

Tried option 1 and when I go to select install zip from sd card after booting to cwm the phone restarts. Trying option 2 now...
Option #2 won't work since I get stuck at the HTC screen when trying to load a custom ROM.

How did you try to reboot into bootloader from recovery once the ROM was flashed. Once I get into recovery I connect the phone with a USB cable and then type
Adb reboot bootloader
This will boot you into HBOOT straight from recovery and should prevent the hang at the HTC.
Ok. Let's start fresh and complete:
1- Plug phone into computer.
2- select HTC sync on phone
3- open cmd and get to sdk
4- type "adb reboot bootloader"
5- phone should reboot to HTC's recovery thing
now what?
I have cwm installed already.

Just select Charge Only, not HTC Sync.
Once you type adb reboot bootloader you should get the HBOOT screen and it should show FASTBOOT USB.
At this point you should enter Fastboot commands from you PC command prompt.
So you said you tried fastboot boot [path to recovery.img file] and it did boot you into recovery, right? Then you should be able to flash the custom ROM and reboot normally when the install is complete.
For option 2 once you are in recovery mode flash the custom ROM and then when it is finished connect the phone with the USB cable and at the command prompt you should be able to type adb devices and it will respond with your device id.
If it does, then type adb reboot bootloader and it will take you back to the HBOOT screen. From there you would then enter the following Fastboot command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img file]
Then Fastboot reboot

You determine what the path is when you download the recovery image to your PC. The best place to download or copy it to is the same folder you run adb.exe and fastboot.exe from.

OK maybe I am missing something here. Do you actually have full root? If you do, how did you get it? I don't know how to get the su binary and busybox installed. I have unlocked my bootloader using the htc supertool and I don't have root, which is keeping me from installing CWM or anything root related for that matter. I have not seen any instructions on how to root this thing since the unlock tool became compatible 3 days ago. But maybe I have missed something.
Thanks for any help.
Still cant get rom to boot... however, i have been able to fastboot into custom recovery and complete the flashing process...
Now i am just stuck at the HTC screen after reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all so far. You have been most helpful.
***** update ***** I finally got it after fast booting into recovery, flashing rom, and then extracting boot.img from that rom and flashing it via fastboot.

After you have an unlocked HBOOT, you need to flash CWM recovery image in FASTBOOT mode. Once you have CWM installed, you can install the latest SU-3.0.xx.zip to root your current ROM and then you can installl and use root programs like ROM Manager, Busybox, Titianium Backup, etc. or you can install a rooted custom ROM.

[Q] How to receive OTA after root?

Hello everyone,
I bought an used HTC One M8 and I realized it is rooted and with a TWRP recovery.
Recently I've been waiting for the auto update for Android 4.4.3 and I believe I haven't received it because of the issue I referred earlier.
Is there anyway to receive OTA's now? Since I don't value root that much I'm considering every options.
By the way, it's the international unlocked version of the device.
Thanks for the support.

Root will not prevent notification and download of the OTA, only its installation. But if a custom ROM is installed, that may prevent you from getting the notification.
If you don't want to mess with this stuff, I'd complain to the seller and ask for refund/exchange if they sold it to you without telling you it was modded. Unless you got a really good deal, or something.
It was actually a good deal.
If it prevents me from installing the OTA it's still bad.
Being the unlocked international version shouldn't I have the 4.4.3 KK available by now?

Not sure (not my version) but as that version has been deployed to a good number of countries/regions, it might take some time to roll out to all users.

The described process is the best way to get to stock ROM and recovery, and therefore receive OTAs.
I couldn't understand the process completely.
Is this what i'm supposed to do?

I tried to translate it to my main language and I believe it is this (sorry for being so insisting, it's just that i bricked one samsung once and i can't risk anything on this one lol)
1. Install drivers HTC from htc transfer tool (can't figure out how, should i install sync is that it?)
2. Download and extract "fastboot.zip"
3. Enable USB debugging on the phone
4. Open the file i extracted from "fastboot.zip"
5. Press+Hold Shift e Right Click (should do this on the file i opened right?)
6. Open command prompt here
7. Unlock the phone
8. Type: "adb devices" (on the exe in the PC?)
9. Press Agree on the phone and "trust" the PC
10. Command: "adb reboot bootloader" (again, this is on the .exe in the PC right?)
11. On the phone press "Power" to choose fast boot
12. Put recovery philz on the folder where are the adb/fastboot files
13. Use command: "fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img"
14. Download the recovery that matches my CID
15. Turn on the phone
16. Search for the clockwork folder
17. If it has a "backup" folder good, if not, create a folder named "backup"
18. Copy "recovery.img" i just downloaded to the "fastboot/adb files" folder
19. Put philz recovery in "clockworkmod>backup>2014-07-22.01.52.47_KOT4xxx_release-keys" (something like that) on the phone
20. Turn off phone and go into bootloade (power+vol. down) -> go to recovery
21. (In philz recovery) do "restore" and choose the file i placed in the phone
22. Put the phone in fastboot
23. Type command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
24. Type command (on fastboot): "oem lock"
25. Do a factory reset.
Mostly the driver part is messing me up, if i could make sure how to install the right drivers i could explore through the following steps.

There are a couple guides if you use the XDA "Search" function called "adb minimal drivers" "5 minute adb install" etc. that I've seen other folks recommend. Probably your best bet, although I personally can't recommend any particular thread, as I did it the hard way (Android SDK)!
HTC Sync can cause more issues than it solves, so I would try minimal drivers over HTC official ones. Or even uninstall drivers and let Windows find generic drivers for the device.
Yes, this is a lot of rather esoteric phone modding stuff (for someone that has never tried this type of thing before) to get your phone back to "stock". But if you case, possibly worth it for a "free" device upgrade. You're going to end up learning a lot more about Android than you ever wanted to know!

[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:

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

Help I bricked my Oneplus 3

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))
have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

And how do you say I do that? I have tried using the "tool all in one", where you han flash both stock and twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything, when i press them (and the device is in bootloader)

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

When im in fastboot mode in the bootloader, i can only find it in "device manager" as "marshall london device -> marshall london bootloader interface"

Might seem a silly question but what phone are you using? If it is a OnePlus3 have you installed the correct drivers?

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you, but i have not enabled "allow oem unlocking" in the developer settings when the phone worked, so i get a error message "FAILED (remote: oem unloc is not allowed)
What to do to unlock it then?
Bro, download 3.2.4 oos rom zip file from official link. Its around 1.3 GB. Just connect ur OP3 to computer. It will detect as MTP device.Im my computer it was in the name of RAIN Transfer the zip file to internal storage. Wipe cache. And select install option in TWRP and select the zip file u pushed and flash it. Best of luck..

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.
can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!

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
