hi,
My phone is soft bricked and stuck at boot logo. I am trying to flash stock recovery/kdz file using flash tool but getting stuck at"low battery" error.
Could you please help how i can bypass this error? I have spend a lot of time online and tried few methods but always getting stuck at this error. I dont have any alternative phone and this is really disappointing.
I am using E988 India model.
CLICK HERE MATE. LET ME KNOW IF IT HELPS. IF NOT USE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
I'm using same phone and have the same problem. I still can't flash stock with the tool but I can tell you how to get out of soft brick. Download madmacks e980 lokified TWRP recovery and also CM 11 latest version. Get in to recovery mode and go to install file (sideload) and flash the recovery first then reboot in to recovery again and sideload CM 11. When I get a definitive solution to flash stock I will let you know mate. If you have problems or don't know what I'm talking about then reply here. You well need adb installed on computer and open a new command window by holding shift and click right noise button at the same time. Make sure you perform this from the same directory as where there files are that your flashing. Once your phone prompts you to sideload type in to the command window adb sideload (the exact file name of the file you want to flash.zip) but without the brackets

Thank you very much for this help. I have never tried adb. Probably I shall now learn it and then try to do as you suggested. I am not particular about stock ROM. In fact I will be happy if there is stable cm ROM for this phone.
I juts bought this phone two days back. There are too many model numbers n am little scared now about choosing the right ROM. Do you mind sharing link for correct cm11 ROM please?,
Thanks again for your help!

I have looked all over and see some threads overlapping other threads, however I am not finding anything for the D5316 Model. I am running Android 4.4.2 Build Number 19.1.A.0.486 The kernel version is from Thu Jul 17 10:07:21 2014. I would like to root and get recovery on it to try a faster rom and get rid of the Sony bloatware. If you have been successful or I missed a link on how to do that please point me in the correct direction...... Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Apparently, it's working now. All I had to do was reflash the ftf file in flashtool and it was able to keep the custom recovery and boot the phone past it....go figure.
Thanks for posting this, I am having some trouble myself and it's really frustrating. I am able to flash both CWM and TWRP. I am even able to boot into these recoveries but I cannot get the damn thing to boot past it. Pretty sure it's the kernel but I cannot find a place that will tell me step by step as to getting custom recovery on the model of this phone. I am still on 4.4.2. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Yes,
Basically what you have to do is download Dual Recovery and put it on your SD card or internal storage on the phone. Download Supersu 2.40 and do the same thing. Then go to the CWM recovery thread and download that. Follow the instructions there. Once you finish following the instructions just boot into CWM recovery, then flash Dual Recovery. Reboot the phone and wait until you see the green light. Press the down key once you see the green light. It should take you into TWRP. After that flash Super Su and then you reboot and let it boot all the way, done. Make sure you are bootloader unlocked and have working ADB AND FASTBOOT on your PC

Let's back up for a second.....
Give me a breakdown one more time from the very beginning.
1.unlock the bootloader
2. Download "dual recovery"and place on sd card
3. Download superuser and place on sd card
4. Install cwm recovery
5. Flash the dual recovery.....why? Is there something wrong with cwm?
6.Flash superuser
At what point is the phone rooted? Does flashing SU do that? I have used tools in the past on other phones. This is my first Sony phone.
If you care to, or the time to...could you please paste the links to each step (assuming I have them all correct or I am not missing something)
I really appreciate you helping this much I was ready to give up on this phone, cause I couldn't get any help! :what::banghead:
just the topic I was looking for!
mind if I follow this? I just bought this phone yesterday. Looking for a way to get Lollipop on it.
I was hoping to get a reply by now. Which model# do you have
I just flashed FXP ASOP 2/23 after I was able to get 2/08 running on the device and now the device won't boot past the android logo. I can get it flashboot mode and rewrite the 3 imgs (boot, system, and user data) however it still won't boot.
Any Ideas?

I am just trying to get root and recovery
I was able to get root by doing the following.
Flash the cwm boot.img. You will not be able to boot android but you will be able to boot to recovery.
Flash the dual recovery from cwm. Go ahead and flash supersu zip as well.
Reboot. Wait till you see the green light (not pink) flash and press the volume down button to boot to twrp or volume up to boot phils recovery.
I used twrp. Once in TWRP, I flashed the rooted stock firmware (mainly to restore a fully working boot.img), and reflashed dual recovery from twrp. Also flash the newest supersu zip.
Maybe a easier way, but worked for me.
EDIT: Resolved by following Naman Bhalla's Unbrick Guide.
I'm on latest Freedom OS community build right now. I have this problem where my OP3 won't boot into recovery at all. Trying to do it just kills it and only a very long power button press is able to revive it.
I have tried flashing the recovery via fastboot but that also doesn't work. Is there a way out of it? I can't flash zips. Are there factory images I can flash via fastboot that can replace everything? I don't care about the data. Any help would be appreciated.
flash modified recovery via fastboot

I have tried Garak's TWRP and the other TWRP. It doesn't change anything. Are there factory images like Google provides which can be flashed using fastboot?
i have the same problem, flashed the previouse version of Oxygen OS. But now i can't get in to recovery.. when i flash it trough fastboot everything goes ok, but when i want to go into recovery the screen is blank and the device does nothing.
Maybe read the OP of FreedomOS rom.

You need the modified twrp version, the only way to recognize it, it has a mouse cursor in the middle of your screen.

Yea, I used exactly the same thing to get back my device working correctly again. I missed the crucial information that modified TWRP was required.
Hi all,
*I've unlocked bootloader
* Have tried fastboot boot TWRP.img, as well as tried flashing TWRP RC1 via the Skipsoft toolkit.
Every way I've tried the phone just sits at the TWRP boot screen and doesn't allow me to go any further..
Any help here would be truly appreciated!
Cheers,
I've been having the same issue tonight. Re-flash the stock image, go through the whole setup process and make sure you add a lockscreen pin, then flash TWRP. That is what worked for me. I still can't flash a Rom though for some reason. It's driving me insane.

You're braver than me. I haven't had my Pixel XL long but this is the first phone I've ever owned where I am afraid to try and install a custom recovery and ROM. With the dual partitions and what I hear about TWRP still being buggy it just seems like Google didn't want people to run anything but pure Android on the Pixels.

Same issue here, but no solution. Adding a lockscreen pin didn't change anything for me. I just get a teamwin image but it just sits there & doesn't actually open TWRP. My bootlocker is unlocked but thats as far as I can get 7.1.2 with May security. I have tried reloading everything and followed commonly recommended steps.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I would love to get this thing rooted and get some ROM flexibility - even to just get rid of the Nav Bar ....

I have never had a problem. Make sure your using the rc1 fast boot TWRP. Should be fastboot boot twrp.img. I change file name to this or copy and paste. Then you install rc1 or rc2 zip.
I know you will have problems if you try to install the wrong file.

That strange. I just flash a factory image from Google
Set up a security pattern
Enable adb debugging
Fastboot boot twrp 3.0.2-0 rc1 IMG
Make sure it asks for your security pattern if it doesn't reboot to bootloader and fastboot twrp again, and keep repeating until it does
Install twrp 3.1.0.0 rc2 or rc1 zip
If your using may bootloader's fish VBS 6 zip
And it should stick, if you flash. Anything else that messes with boot flash that VBS zip at the end again

If you download the offiial april firmware, you can manually extract it from the .zip then you would do this command in fastboot :--------- fastboot flash bootloader PUTFILEHERE.img

Hmm, maybe this is where I've gone wrong.. I thought the need to create a security pin/pattern was only if coming from a previously rooted state, or from a custom ROM. I will try this as well and report back.. thanks!

You keep stating that you just flash the image. Are you flashing it from the bootloader then trying to boot to recovery?
You have to boot TWRP from your PC first. Then from TWRP you can then "flash" TWRP.
Just wanted to make sure that was a step you were taking!
Just wait. It will take little longer

Yes, I have tried fastboot to flash the TWRP img, as well as skipsofts toolkit. I guess I've been using the term "flash" for fastboot, as I haven't been able to use twrp yet.. I understand that you need to flash the TWRP img via pc and then flash the TWRP zip, then SuperSU or magisk, whatever your poison may be !
Hi, I manually updated my honor 7x (BND AL10 INDIAN) to EMUI 8 following the other post in this forum and after that I went on to flash TWRP recovery again from another post "complete_twrp_ramdisk.img" so that I could take full Nand backups and what not. But Here's the problem, When I try to flash the stock recovery back "BND_RECOVERY_NOcheck" which I flashed during upgrading to EMUI 8, it says "size of image is large than target device"
I tried this using boot fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" and also using the TWRP. It doesn't work either way. So I'm basically stuck with TWRP. The reason I want stock recovery is because
1. I can install OTA UPDATES on EMUI 8 (I actually got one)
2. I may want to just be on complete stock like locked bootloader, sock recovery etc...
Could any one help?? Maybe I need the right stock recovery file ?
BTW It's my first post ever so please go easy if I did any mistakes.
Could you share your twrp? Thanks!

"BND_RECOVERY_NOcheck" is nouget stock recovery.
Oreo update replaces all the partitions, including the recovery that you flashed in order to install the update.
The stock recovery can be extracted from "update.app" , the one inside the oreo "updateL22.zip"

Hi, I'm downloading that UPDATEL22.ZIP right now and Can I extract this with any unzip/unrar program? What will be the name of that recovery? is it going to be "recovery"? The thing is I've never extracted anything from a ROM so I have not idea.

you should already have the update.zip.
use same one you "manualy" installed.
winrar did not work for me but 7-zip did.
there is also rom extractor built into "multi-tool" and stand alone extractor around here some where.
I found it here
the name is just like the twrp you flashed and just like the partition that you flashed. (recovery_ramdisk.img)

Hi, Thanks for all your replies. After doing a bit of search, I managed to get it extracted on my android using zarchiver app and I copied the recovery_ramdisk.img from that BNDL22.ZIP and when I tried flashing it using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" It went ok and It got installed but when I tried to boot into recovery, I got this screen "ERROR MODE" ATTENTION ETC..

I dont know.
The new way to boot to recovery was written in other thread as "hold both volume buttons & power button"
not sure if it was a problem with extraction or not, but attached is the recovery I extracted. do not have it installed. I dont even have oreo installed., I'm still pulling files together and reading the update-scripts and trying to convince myself if it is worth trying it.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=262391
I have now jumped on board and did oreo conversion on L24, then flashed RR. I went and installed the oreo recovery, then back to this stock recovery. It worked fine for me.

Hey bro thefe are too many files there will it flash through fastboot or twrp and how to flash one by one pls help me
Hello all,
thanks for all the info in this thread.
I bricked my Honox 7x (BND-LC21) by trying to go Oreo.
The installation went halfway through, but now I can't complete (missing info howto flash bootloader / kernel) and I also can't go back as the partition layout has already changed to oreo style.
Steps done so far:
- unlocked boot loader
- installed twrp
- extract system image and recovery image from oreo update zip
getting the phone in fastboot mode i can successfully run
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img (i can also flash old recoveries this way, but none of them will successfully boot into recovery mode)
fastboot flash system system.img
either way, the system will not boot afterwards.
how do I manually flash bootloader / kernel on the oreo partition layout?
erecovery and hisuite won't recover my phone either...
Any hints appreciated

not sure if it was a problem with extraction or not, but attached is the recovery I extracted. do not have it installed. I dont even have oreo installed., I'm still pulling files together and reading the update-scripts and trying to convince myself if it is worth trying it.

I have now jumped on board and did oreo conversion on L24, then flashed RR. I went and installed the oreo recovery, then back to this stock recovery. It worked fine for me.

Can I flash just the stock recovery to my phone and if so is it the recover_ramdis.img, or do I need to flash them all. I'm on mostly stock bnd-l24. Unlocked bootloader TWRP and magisk for root. There's a new update and i wanted to flash stock recovery so I could update.

Yes that is the recovery.
But if you have root, update not going to work

Will uninstalling magisk fix that or does the boot image have to be reflashed. Thank you for the quick response

From magisk manager app should be a restore images option

Hello all,
thanks for all the info in this thread.
I bricked my Honox 7x (BND-LC21) by trying to go Oreo.
The installation went halfway through, but now I can't complete (missing info howto flash bootloader / kernel) and I also can't go back as the partition layout has already changed to oreo style.
Steps done so far:
- unlocked boot loader
- installed twrp
- extract system image and recovery image from oreo update zip
getting the phone in fastboot mode i can successfully run
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img (i can also flash old recoveries this way, but none of them will successfully boot into recovery mode)
fastboot flash system system.img
either way, the system will not boot afterwards.
how do I manually flash bootloader / kernel on the oreo partition layout?
erecovery and hisuite won't recover my phone either...
Any hints appreciated
Aibiman
