Is there a way to flash a recovery with access to only the bootloader/fastboot?

if your recovery is a zip file, unzip it and it will contain a img file (maybe recovery.img). You can flash that using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Remember the img must be in the directory with the fastboot.exe and that the correct drivers are installed for it to work. Also it may not be called recovery.img so use the name of the file depending on what it was, then you can use fastboot reboot to reboot afterwards.
Fastboot boot recovery.img is a temp recovery flash I think?

Stock rom

Can anyone pls tell me where I can download stock rom for (lenovo) p2 preferable in zip format . And is there any unbricking tutorial .

I want this too...? if anyone can help...

I have found the stock ROM, I bricked my device in the rooting process, and am unable to flash the complete stock image, because the device reports "unable to flash bootloader on unlocked device"

Hi, because you should not flash bootloader.
you can try those 2 solutions:
the fast one, it should work. The flashall command flash every.img files he find in the fastboot directory. So try to remove the bootlader.img and execute the flashall command.
the manual one (longer one):
Put only the recovery.img, boot.img, and the system.img files ( you should have something like 13 , named "systemchunk0/12.img") in your fastboot directory and flash with fastboot ( the command is always the same: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img, and for every single part of system.img you should flash like "fastboot flash systemchunk0(until 12).img " so you flash flash 13 times the system with avery 13 parts .
Sorry for my english i hope you solved that

I did try this, but I still have no signal because the modem file is part of the bootloader, and no modem means no mobile signal

Ah ok i didnt understand that you have this modem issue. I don't kno how to help you...you phone is bricked so you can test few solutions without more risks .
before flash the original recovery , boot and system by fastboot, you can try to install TWRP again and flash only the bootloader from TWRP (should support .zip and .img files). Then you turn the phone in fastboot mode and flash other stuff .

Factory Images & Systemless Mode
Q: I messed up help me?!
So you screwed up and didn't follow Rule Number One in the IT-Handbook?
Which is: Always create a backup before working on a system?
Download the Factory State Images. Which are all flashable with fastboot: https://goo.gl/JTCwKj
Place the files you want replaced into the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" installation directory and start it's shell:
If you want to flash back the stock image. Simply run:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flashall
You can also replace all partitions if required.

Is there an alternative download link? What is Mega? I want to avoid these third party download utility if I can...

I put the following into a BAT file and placed it into ADB / Fastboot directory:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk1.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk2.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk3.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk4.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk5.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk6.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk7.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk8.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk9.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk10.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk11.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk12.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
pause
Extract all the files listed in the BAT file or simply extract the entire archive to ADB / Fastboot and launch the BAT file.

Does this work?? @Undesirable
the above post

Oh yeah, it unbricked me and put me back to stock so I could get OTA updates for Nougat. You need the archive posted earlier in the thread though.

@Undesirable Nice and elegant solution man! Typing all this stuff was so annoying.

For those who need an alternative download source, I offer this magnet link:
Code:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef05ea3af4da8a0cbb137c10621942f3ae16d46f&dn=P2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z
It's slow unless lots of people help to seed it.

Is it possible to flash this firmware 2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z on the P2c72 with firmware build number: V3.5_1652_5.1342.1_ST_p2c72 ???
I bought this phone 4GB Ram/64GB from china, but I want to put the international firmware on it.
Thanks!

how can I replace my data partition? It's not getting formatted due to an encryption error

If fastboot erase userdata doesn't work, then use TWRP to change user data file system to EXT4 then change it back to F2FS again.

Need help...
I flashed back the stock ROM (due to encryption error in custom 7.0 ROM) using fastboot commands, but my SIGNAL WON'T WORK after I started d phone . I've tried reflashing the stock firmware (and also custom ROMs) but my phone won't detect the signal. "About phone" settings show unknown baseband and IMEI... how to get it back

I've flashed 'ROW' variant of stock ROM. Is there a different version for Indian variant?

In other Treble (a/b slots) based phones, the recovery is built into the boot rom. Likely you will need to re-flash the boot.img. That's what I would try first.

What TWRP did you install? Make sure you're downloading a TWRP that's available for this device. So far, to my knowledge, there isn't a TWRP recovery for this device yet.

Hello there, how did u just unlock bootloader by fastboot command? didn't use OEM unlock option on dev setting?
Btw can you share me your twrp that you used?
I need it so badly my rom bugged stuck at google account setup
