This is my gf's kindle fire and she wanted it rooted to have the google play store. This is completely untouched Kindle and on windows 7 pc. So I downloaded the KFU latest release 0.9.6 and proceeded w/ option 2 to install permanent root. Let it sit for about an hour with the please wait and waiting for device messages at the bottom of the screen. I wasnt sure how much longer this would be so i just let it sit. Couple minutes later my gf comes and let me know that she unplugged it accidentally while vacuuming. Im now stuck on the TWRP screen and will not reboot at all. If it try to reboot i get a message saying " E: System in not installed - preventing reboot! " which makes me think that the OS got wiped somehow. All I can do is let it run out of battery. Now in the KFU abd status: Offline and boot status: Unknown. Although that Windows will recognize the device as its showing up in device manager under Adroid Phone: Android ADB interface. What can I do?
not showing up.
Letting your battery run out would be one of the worst things you can do. I don't know where people get the idea that running the battery out of a device is a miracle cure, but it's ridiculous.
First, use the "Mount" function that comes with TWRP and mount your sdcard. Choose a ROM and transfer it to your sdcard to be flashed in TWRP. Once you have a ROM installed, select Reboot > Reboot System.
If you want the stock based software, install MoDaCo. No need to root or install Google Play Store.

Mount function not working either. I hit the button and never shows up on my comp as a storage device.
Yep, that's a problem. In order to fix it, you'll need the command line. To use the command line, you can either fix the Windows driver problem that is causing the "adb offline" error, which could be a very painful process, or set up a LiveUSB to run Linux (recommended).

Could I just remove and reinstall the driver? Weird thing is that its still showing up on the device manager Adroid ADB interface.
In a perfect world, yes, that would work every single time.

Well i managed to get the driver working and got to flash the latest update from amazon on and renamed it update.zip to get it to flash. Now it seems like its in a bootloop just showing kindle fire in the orange letters. Connecting it to KFU it shows ADB status: online , but still showing bootstatus as unknown.
You need to fix your drivers again.
Now i cant get into anything other than the kindle fire screen. I just made a Factory cable but not sure as to what that is supposed to do as i dont notice anything different when i plug it in other than it powers up by itself instead of having to press the power button. I cant get into twrp anymore. Trying a few other things i keep getting a - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) error message.

You're in fastboot so adb commands won't work. You can only use fastboot commands in fastboot mode. As for installing TWRP, go to the TWRP website and download the actual TWRP.img file. The file that comes with KFU is nothing more than a broken link (2kb I think?) and it doesn't work. Put the file you downloaded into your KFU folder and rename it twrp.img, just to make things easier. Then "Shift" + "right-click" on the folder containing the newly downloaded twrp.img and select "Open command window here". In the window that opens up enter the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
then hold the power button until the device shuts off and start it up again. It will then boot into recovery.

Awesome thanks for the help Soupmangnet!! I got it in twrp recovery now. I would like to just have it back to stock at this point and have the latest update downloaded from amazon on the sd card. Im just worried that this will put me back into the same problem as before. Do need to download or fix something else?
Make sure you change the file's extension to .zip as before, and above all else, wipe System and "Factory Reset". Everything should go well for you.
You sir are awesome! Everything works great! Now to get play store.
You could have simply just flashed modaco instead of going through all he hassle of flashing update.zip and wiping out fff and twrp...
hi all
I have a problem on getting TWRP to work properly.
I initially used BreakDroid to install TWRP, everything worked fine.
I tried to install the cm-11-20140512.1655-SKANKY-otter.zip OS but I first got the "error 7", fixed that, and then it was stuck at "updating package" (or similar)....
then I saw an updated version of TWRP, without realizing that it was for an asys TF101 tablet (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434422)...I installed that and now twrp doesn't work because the screen is the wrong size and I can't get to various buttons including flash/wipe etc..
I can still mount it tho so I thought about using adb/flashboot...but I can't seem to override that version of TWRP.
...best part...i cannot restore the original amazon OS since I didn't do a backup (...i know...:angel
does anyone have any idea about how I can fix that and install a kitkat rom?
I have nandroid backup of stock in my list.

thanks for the reply.
I did look at it but my problem is that I don't need to backup the system, I need to be able to install a recovery tool (twrp or cwmr) that will allow me to flash a rom on my kindle.
my problem now is that I can't seem to be able to do that since the recovery I have is for a different tablet and the screen won't allow me to get to the right buttons...I can only turn the kindle on and off .

I did try to do that but
1)

i did the "./android update adb" with "adb kill-server" and "adb start-server" but nothing changed..
2) I installed the img file anyway through
fastboot flash recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the img file but i still cannot get the twrp with the view for kindle...see attached image. i have NO ACCESS to some of the buttons, therefore I can't do much with it.
I would REALLY like to be able to install a CWM...i tried the one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454241 using
fastboot flash recovery cwm-file-here.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it gets to the boot page, I select "recovery" and then it's stuck with the kindle logo and the small "booting..." at the bottom of the screen...so I re-installed twrp even tho i still have that damn "build for Asus TF101 Series Tablets" (see attachment) warning on top!!
any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!
also, using "adb devices" I still can't see it.
Run this command from your computer with your kindle connected when you turn it on:
fastboot getvar product
The FFF bootloader temporarily enables fastboot as the device boots up. When you issue this command, it puts the device into permanent fastboot mode. Just flash the correct recovery after that:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery your-recovery.img
fastboot reboot

When I launch the fastboot flash in fastboot mode I do get nothing but the blank cursor on a new line, although I see the device with "fastboot devices". After a few min that was stuck then I turned it off and the first part came up saying " sending file" but then it gave me an error saying that the connection was lost...which makes sense cause i turned it off..
If instead I launch the command and THEN turn the kindle on it does show me the correct output in a couple of secs as your showed. But then even if I do fastboot reboot, it does reboot it but no correct recovery is loaded...still the wrong screen size... Very very frustrating...
And btw...thanks for bearing with me through this!!!
---edit---
Now that I think about it...the twrp screen, although the wring size, actually reflects the VERSION of twrp that I'm installing through fastboot...it's as if the twrp I got from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434422) controls the size of the screen while I'm able to change the version of twrp...I think that that is a recovery GUI for the Asus tablet, any idea if I can install another GUI?...hopefully this helps...

Your guess is right, installing another TWRP version doesn't affect the theme you are using, unless it has a theme of its own. You could delete the ui.zip from the TWRP folder and that would solve it. The folder should be in sdcard.

so..the problem with that is that I could not access the sdcard since adb doesn't work...however...as of now I've been able to fix the layout problem by using
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery twrp.2.7.0.1.img
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
once rebooting I had to re-wipe (advance wipe) sdcard/cache/data since when I tried to mount them I could not check the boxes.
now i STILL cannot mount it and adb does not recognize it.
I'm using mac and I tried
android update adb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but still adb can't see the kindle and I can't mount it through twrp
...however, I'm still able to reboot in bootloader and use fastboot
I don't think I can flash a .zip rom from fastboot tho...and I'm not sure how to transfer files on the kindle to flash them from twrp...any idea?
thanks a ton!!
-- edit --
i already modified the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file adding 0×1949 and then running
adb kill-server
adb devices
but what I get is just
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
and nothing to it...the "adb shell" still gives me "device not found"!!

dunno why twrp was the problem! the new recovery that you linked worked like magic, adb worked perfectly, I already flashed a rom and it works!!
so...why wouldn't twrp allow me to use adb or mount disks through usb?!
thanks so much for the help!!
Guessing it doesn't use the twrp theme, that was causing trouble.

You could have been frustrated with all the features that’s supposed to be in your New Huawei Watch is nowhere to be found. Like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Language Selection are all hidden in the China Stable Rom of the Huawei Watch.
I have talked to the CSR of Huawei in China, they honestly told me that the Wi-Fi certificate for the watch is not yet certified that’s why they cannot unleash it yet but it is embedded inside the watch should future updates allows the Wi-Fi to be used. Regarding the language selection, local China release is locked to Simplified Chinese, whether you like it or not.
If you happen to buy from China or received a gift with a China local release Huawei Watch, here is the guide on how to flash with an English Rom which I have already tested mine on.
Here is the complete guide:
Step 1: Put the Watch to Fastboot Mode
1) Hold down the power button
2) The screen will go black for about 2 seconds and then boot into the Huawei logo. Keep holding down the power button.
3) Wait for the first vibration, release the power button and then immediately give the power button one short press.
Note: If you feel the second vibration, you waited too long to do the release and press. Start over again with Step 1.
Another alternative for Step 1:
1.) Install ADB SETUP V1.3
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1zjuazXSqbQ0p6NWtvRk9OMzA/edit
2.) Enable ADB and connect to computer
How to Enable ADB:
- Go to About
- Click 5 times on Build Number to access Developer Mode
- Go to Developer Options
- Enable ADB Debugging
3.) Go into command prompt mode
4.) Reboot watch into Fastboot mode using this code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Step 2: Unlock the Bootloader
1.) On command prompt mode, type this command: Fastboot Oem Unlock
2.) accept the prompt on the watch.
Note: If successful, command prompt will say your bootloader is already unlocked.
Step 3: Flashing
Download first the three files before proceeding:
Boot Img: https://mega.nz/#!rgRQHRrb!lgQCvqH-qkuqitPRRXfCad29MdmJ6ynaUHJDr0hjeLM
Recovery Img: https://mega.nz/#!ahgjxA4R!y8Hb0CBVBRwUr0tA3HeFrrqh0ALAiMyqJu0pLsBsAD8
System Img: https://mega.nz/#!2pYVBDpA!wQJT8LDcffk7uxEmrsqna6MKWIODD-FqBO_k4Poml7g
After downloading the three files, lets proceed:
1.) While on Fastboot mode, type this on the command prompt one at a time:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
2.) and then go to recovery and do a wipe data / factory reset.
Congrats! Your done!
Further Reading if you are stuck on flashing System.img
There are some reason beyond my explanation why the system.img cannot be flashed to the watch, here is the workaround:
1.) First of all download the TWRP and fastboot boot it:
TWRP download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3505656&d=1444766757
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.0-Sturgeon.img
2.) Now your watch is in TWRP and you can no longer use ADB commands, go to your watch and select Advanced, then select ADB Side Load
3.) Going back to command prompt, push the system.img in the sdcard so:
Code:
adb push system.img /sdcard/
4.) Now flash it:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system
5.) Reboot.
Now you may encounter bootloop after flashing which I did, go back to Step 1 Fastboot mode and select Reboot Recovery, then wipe data and then clear cache, then you are good to go!
This is the most complete guide I can come up with based on my own explorations. Hope this helps.
Where can i find the drivers for this watch.
When i plug this watch into my computer Windows doesn't detect the drivers. I've tried looking on the HuaWei website but there are no downloadable drivers. Any help?

Look here : https://m.reddit.com/r/hwatch/comments/3n9ckp/how_to_get_adb_access_over_usb/
"Fastboot Oem Unlock" should be "fastboot oem unlock" otherwise it won't work. Also make sure to have ADB 1.0.32 at least for watches!
hello!
i do all step and complete flash with twrp mode . but when reboot and will go to reboot recovery the watch restart and restart!
sry for weak english!

Hi, first of all thanks for this awesome guide.
This is the first thing I am looking for after bought a Chinese watch from China.
Manage to go through ONLY I tried key in "fastboot oem unlock' all in small letters.
Then follow the guide instruction to goto recovery to wipe data after successfully go through the other flashing steps smoothly.
This is where I got stuck in infinite looping in Android lying and screen flashing every few seconds. I got panicked after trying multiple times failed to recover from this symptoms for a while.
Until finally manage to pull back to fastboot menu by keep press holding onto the power button. The steps of holding till first vibration then do a quick short press doesnt work.
I am glad that now I am back to normal with the English screen.
Next I will proceed to flash the TWRP and 1.4 update.
Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Thank you for the guide once again and wish everyone success in updating and Enjoy!
Update: (9:29am)
Did a system update. Before was something like LBC49A, after system update it becomes LBC43B. I suppose this is 1.4 update as the name is the same.
Hence decided not to flash the TWRP recovery for the time being if it can continue auto system update.
Update (9/3/2016):
Sorry, nvr read through all the posts. Was thinking that (LBC43B) was the latest update.
So proceed to flash TWRP recovery then try to update to MEC23L (latest update) but failed to run "adb sideload update.zip"
Every time once enter into Recovery mode, the connection dropped. Then tried to do OTA update by factory reset as suggested but failed (confirmed my location can OTA as one use from same location didi it.)
This morning went back to PC flash back the original Stock Recovery from here.
Restart the watch and goto System Update, receive message "Charge the watch to update to MEC23L"
My thot - OTA only allow with Stock Recovery?
Update done but still cannot sms. ??
Btw, for LBC43B, many functions cannot work properly like sms, call and no sound at all. Thx n Enjoy.
P.S. Using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, PDAnet driver(for watch USB driver), running on Win7, connect via watch USB charge docking station.
help me please
No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?
This is my problem, I can´t install it-
I send you a private message Richboy234, can you help me please?

Hi, I have a problem, when I do this :

but not this "adb shell dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system"
Any idea please, thank you.

Then follow the guide instruction to goto recovery to wipe data after successfully go through the other flashing steps smoothly.
This is where I got stuck in infinite looping in Android lying and screen flashing every few seconds. I got panicked after trying multiple times failed to recover from this symptoms for a while.
Until finally manage to pull back to fastboot menu by keep press holding onto the power button. The steps of holding till first vibration then do a quick short press doesnt work.
I am glad that now I am back to normal with the English screen.
Next I will proceed to flash the TWRP and 1.4 update.
Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Thank you for the guide once again and wish everyone success in updating and Enjoy!
Update: (9:29am)
Did a system update. Before was something like LBC49A, after system update it becomes LBC43B. I suppose this is 1.4 update as the name is the same.
Hence decided not to flash the TWRP recovery for the time being if it can continue auto system update.
Update (9/3/2016):
Sorry, nvr read through all the posts. Was thinking that (LBC43B) was the latest update.
So proceed to flash TWRP recovery then try to update to MEC23L (latest update) but failed to run "adb sideload update.zip"
Every time once enter into Recovery mode, the connection dropped. Then tried to do OTA update by factory reset as suggested but failed (confirmed my location can OTA as one use from same location didi it.)
This morning went back to PC flash back the original Stock Recovery from here.
Restart the watch and goto System Update, receive message "Charge the watch to update to MEC23L"
My thot - OTA only allow with Stock Recovery?
Update done but still cannot sms. ??
Btw, for LBC43B, many functions cannot work properly like sms, call and no sound at all. Thx n Enjoy.
P.S. Using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, PDAnet driver(for watch USB driver), running on Win7, connect via watch USB charge docking station.

Hi there
All i know is you can flash the stock rom then update via OTA
mine is running marshmallow already now MEC23L
This is the safer way coz i never tried to flash in the MEC23L
Cheers!

Hi, I have a problem, when I do this :
"select Advanced, then select ADB Side Load" after 4 or 5 minutes processing it saids "failed"
and then I can do this step "adb push system.img /sdcard/"
but not this "adb shell dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system"
Any idea please, thank you.

hi there
i think you need to do a further reading on the one after step three
there are chances that you will get stuck in flashing the system image file
there is a workaround.
try it again
hope it helps.

Hello,
I'm also encountering this error. I did try the first method, and I'm getting stuck on activating ADB Side Load. Any tips?
Hi, there's a problem and i can't mount partition /data and /cache
plz help
Thanks a lot man you are a gem
I in hurry formatted system from twrp and was without OS. very detailed tutorial for beginners with adb. I am back with watch booting fine now
Just a note. I tried doing this while in China without vpn access for my phone. This made it so I couldn't sync up or pair because it kept trying to access google which was blocked. Once I got back to Canada I was able to do everything and update to newest OTA. If you leave it on chinese rom you can use in china and pair with the Android Wear China version app.

Not sure if he got back to you. I had the same problem, and it involved the system.img that I downloaded from the link above. It wasn't complete for some reason. On this thread attached, it has a zip that has it all. My watch works fine now. I want to thank the OP here for showing me the steps to take. You all ROCK!
Working TWRP custom recovery for infocus m430 bingo 21.
To do this, you would require:
data cable if not rooted phone
stock marshmallow running infocus m430 bingo 21
if not rooted, you need adb and fastboot installed on your computer-> google this if never heard of.
download attachments of this post(twrp_recoveryimg)
Problems:
Before you do this, you need to know the temporary problems you would encounter and their solutions
TWRP is in other language but you can use this link to bring it back to english, 1 time thing
http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/04/30/change-twrp-recovery-language-english/
if the above link does not work out, there are lot of youtube videos to enable english in twrp. google out.
once mobile boots into recovery, it will not come back to normal. There is a bit being set by infocus on some partition to reboot to recovery always. Until i find it, you would have to use following the process below to come back to normal boot.
Steps to come back to normal boot
1. in recovery, select option advanced
2. select adb sideload option
3. swipe to start sideload(this will start adb in recovery mode)
4. cancel
5. in your computer type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
6. After mobile shows fastboot mode: in top of the screen with infocus logo type the below command
Code:
fastboot continue
7. This should boot your device back to normal android boot.
8. You have to do this every time you boot to recovery.
Now follow the below procedures to get a custom recovery on your mobile.
Procedure 1 : (does not require root)
unlock developer options -> google this if you never knew this until now.
unlock oem. Do this by going to developer options -> oem unlocking(enable).
unzip the recovery image attachment
enter fastboot by typing following command.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader.
flash twrp_recovery.img in the attachement. Do this by using following commands.(place your twrp_recovery.img in the current directory of terminal / cmd)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
Procedure 2 : (requires root) I have not tried this but it would work. Try it on your own risk.
Download the attachments
send them to your mobile sdcard
install mobile uncle tools or similar app from play store which would flash recovery images
select install recovery and point to the twrp_recovery.img in your sdcard.
Message me in case of questions or reply this thread.
Sir,where to type the code 'adb reboot bootloader' and other codes?
Want your contact number, for the purpose of custom recovery.
I tried that steps many times on my phone via pc. So help me for the custom recovery. I want your contact number to do this process correctly without worrying any problem occurs on my phone.
You should be able to find youtube video on how to install adb and fastboot online. After that, you should type those commands in command prompt in windows computer if you have or in terminal if you have linux or mac.

Problem while using adb fastboot method in In focus M425

Problem: Stuck in unlocked Bootloader
Hi all,
i am stuck on bootloader and cant get out.
On my PC I have "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"(v. 1.4.2.) installed and after i open a command prompt(admin) and type
- "fastboot devices" my phone is listed as <NR> fastboot
so that works as the only positive thing i can say
- "adb reboot", *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
error: no devices/ emulators found
- "adb reconnect", error: no devices/ emulators found
i am not into the adb commands at all, i am a dummy and i would be so glad if someone could lead me out of my problem.
Maybe a word how i got into there:
1) i installed the minimal adb and fastboot(v1.4.2.)
2) i unlocked the bootloader by doing that over the Motorola UNLOCK Bootloader site
3) then i rooted & Flash Twrp Recovery (twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric)
with "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric.img"
4) first time entered into twrp recovery and i did the following:
A) a factory wipe-> reboot back to recovery mode->
B) install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1-> reboot and let system start before i turn off phone and enter bootloader(vol down+start) again
C) after entering recovery mode again, i install Magisk-v11.6 -> reboot->
D) now everything seemed to work, the system started properly rooted.
E) but then i decided to flash once again the Magisk-v11.6 followed by wipe data/ factory reset cause i wanted to completly do the flashing all over.
(dont ask me why i did it.. i could explain and tell you my intention but well it happened anyway and brought me to where i am stuck now)
but that was on this move not all yet: i also wipe dalvik cache
so after wipedalvik/ cache , since that moment i couldnt access to my SD Card anymore as it simply didnt show up anymore.
after a restart i was my first time in an endless bootloop of that Screen with "Erasing"(, the letters sourrounded by a spectral colored circle)
i had to disconnect the phone from power . also i tried to remove the battery for a day. but it would only get me back into that bootloop and only get me out by removing the battery...
i dont know anymore what happened then when the phone now got stuck in the bootloader instead of the bootloop. But yea, now i am stuck here, appreciating any help :highfive:

...shows up but i cant get any adb commands to work tho ofc i am a dummy at it...
oh my, i just helped myself by reading my first poste here on the forum from 2016.
i made it now to start twrp by downloading the twrp_cedric_3.1.1-0 once again putting the recovery in my adb folder and type
<fastboot flash recovery twrp.img>
followed by <fastboot reboot-bootloader>
i am curious if i can get going now and if my SD card will be read and if i can get a new flash going...
now back in twrp i go first again to wipe/ factory reset.
now going to reboot, and reboot back into recovery. only gets me back to bootloader from where i can enter twrp manually now(but there is already an indication of the problem i have?)
also before the reboot, it doesnt ask me to install the twrp app anymore where i usually choose "do not install".
now i go to install the <no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1>, flashing it successfully as it says at the end of the process but there is also some error message in the log before the ...done:
Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
now i thought i should be able to boot the system again but i only get back into the bootloader...
can someone help me how to proceed correctly?
did i miss something to flash?

For failed mount data goto wipe & select format data (option on the right)
Reboot to recovery
For always going into recovery either you don't have a rom installed or read the faq section on my twrp thread as the answer is there
First of all thanks TheFixItMan, that you are behind it and your thread looks really cool and i will immediatly read and try to understand it!
For now i am stuck in the following:

You have to select recovery from the bootloader menu to enter recovery
You can also type in a terminal window whilst phone connected to pc in fastboot
fastboot erase userdata
This will erase all internal data (the same as format data in twrp)
Important Notes For Stock Rom Users
When you first start TWRP it will ask you to swipe to allow modifications - If you do this your stock rom will no longer boot unless you disable dm-verity.
This can be done either by flashing a disable dm-verity zip or by flashing SuperSu zip which will disable it for you
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok, stock rom didnt boot so i flashed the "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" .zip
and voila, i could boot the stock again finally! yipie!
but three things i noticed:
1) the boot progress is suspicous / wrong/ stuck at a moment:
"hello" and "moto" i still see and before the letters of moto start spinning around, the screen freezes for like 2-3 seconds and the next ting i see is the red mouth and cameleon and so on
2) i tried to test camera real quick and it says camera is busy
camera unable to start. if this repeats please power off your phone and restart.
(i did already 5 restarts now and still same problem)
anyway, i wanted to install a ROM now, something like Cyanogenmod.
in this context i wonder what the Magisk-v11.6 does? Does it just give superuser permission and is it always required?
3) system only gives me option to Power Off System(no reboot possible)
and that power off and turn on always gets me first into bootloader tho i dont press vol down+start
Edit:
ok, i have here 3 issues still but it goes offtopic already. i throw a thanks first of all at TheFixItMan and then i think thread cna be closed.
I will soon try to install a ROM, like LineageOS 15.1 , and hope that my previous 3 issues will be solved in the process. . .

Cyanogenmod is now lineageos
Use the latest version of magisk to root (see official magisk thread on xda)
You can run modules to mod phone without tripping integrity or dm-verity which if false will stop apps that check if you are rooted from working
Magisk hide can hide apps from detecting you are rooted on a per app selected basis

Phone should power off normally
If it can't be started normally without going in bootloader and selecting normal startup see my faqs in twrp thread & follow guide to wiping the misc partition
Note if flashing lineageos 15.1 you will require the 64bit version of TWRP available on the lineageos thread - I did not compile this & don't support it
It also doesn't support encryption as far as I know so if you are encrypted you will need to format data & remove it else the rom will get stuck at the decryption screen

that was not exactly the problem. my problem is that either i press restart system from system or from recovery, i first get a stop at the bootloader. from there i can just toggle to START and confirm. then my system boots. its just that i first need to confirm in bootloader the Start, always!
at this point i tried now anyways from your Official TWRP For Moto G5 Cedric- Thread |||||| your solution from your faq. But yea, it obviously doesnt fit my problem cause putting the lines in cmd prompt gave me that result and boot still does a stop at bootloader.. before i can start system or recovery..
So yea, after the first codeline didnt trigger for an unknown reason for me...
i hadnt the courage to even try the second more relevant codeline!

That error means your phone is not connected to your pc
Make sure you have enabled adb debugging in phones dev settings before booting into recovery
If you type
adb devices
It will list all devices attached
Once your device is listed the commands will work

and you think that your commands fromyour solution here helps me with my issue that i can start straight to everywhere i want? Cause atm I just always have to go over the bootloader -"stop". From there i have then to manually "START" in order to start system (now: LineageOS 15.1:victory or where i have to manually toggle down to "RECOVERY MODE" and start TWRP.
Well, i would give it a try, but yea dunno what i am doing wrong here atm. i just realized that the command "adb devices" never worked for me yet, cause i got in conflict with the command fastboot adb devices which effectivly works for me. Cause before i installed lineageOS 15.1 i had to flash the twrp cedric 3.2.1-0 x64. i did that over the adb command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and in that process i even let my phone restart to bootloader with
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
.
now i went to tab build nummer 7 times-> dev options "on" -> android debugging enabled.
when i go to bootloader now or to recovery, and connect my device, for a strange reason in command prompt "adb devices" shows that:
... i dont know why the cmd "adb devices" doesnt show my device. maybe there is a twrp setting i need to change?

Does it display a device when the phone is fully booted
If yes than the recovery you are using doesn't support adb (my official recovery does)
If no I recommend downloading the full android sdk and using the adb that comes with that (you will find it in the platform tools folder where you installed it)
Hello, thx for your support.
I linked the wrong picture. This Screeny shows the related cmd (when dev enabled, booted to recovery, connected via usb to pc and typed adb devices).

it shows the same like linked above and when in recovery mode
so no , the 64bit version of twrp cedric 3.2.1-0 prolly isnt the problem.

would you deinstall minimal ADB and fastboot before installing full android sdk?

i use win7 and cd'ing to the path was almost getting annoying
as screenshot shows, it still doesnt work
in my desperation i deinstalled now all adb drivers(minimal+ sdk)
ran a ccleaner and cleaned registry and reinstalled minimal adb again (btw, there was a new version by now out, 1.4.3)
so the episodes still goes on and i could figure out some new details
because i bought the same phone again for a relative who needed a phone..
in the process of setting it up correctly( thankfully xda is around ) i enabled dev options and the adb debugging
here is the result for the new phone
that shows now that executing as admin or standard user wasnt the problem. i just did it as standard user..
then i thought "hey cool, wait, i connect now my own G5 and see if i can get the phones' Nr displayed there and make sure my phone can communicate with my pc over adb( dunno if the sentence just made sense- greetz from a dummy)"
what happened is shown in this screenshot .. same picture as before! :crying:
(dont get irritated by the screeny because i used the same command prompt for
first, the new phone and
second, my "old" phone which doesnt boot properly, if you look at the command and the result
i am lost!
is it possible to reinstall a bootloader? or how come my phone doesnt communicate with the pc anymore?
and how come that effects the booting process so that i always get this "stop" at the bootloader although i pressed for a restart?
can i do any more tests that indicates what problem i have here?
