Hi, I'm new to android rooting and flashing stuffs. I have Asus Zenfone 2 16gb version.
My frnd rooted my device and installed superSU (something like that) but the xmod app was not working, so my frnd gave me this Kingo root apk he told me that it will work. so I installed that kongo root..it says some files needed to be fix, so I presses ok..after the prosecco is done, I reboot my phone..but it stuck in loading. after that I'm finding solution to boot it back normally. I tried flashing new firmware which I downloaded from the asus website, but It failed in 48%, some one told me to flash TWRP recovery, so I flash TWRP recovery from adb sideload, after that I was not be able to go in recovery mode. I press for recovery mode...my phone restarts and again loads the fastboot or bootloader screen. after that I tried to flash other recovery image. but still I cant go in recovery mode. PLEASE HELP!!
You should not flash custom recovery with a lock bootloader. Unlock your bootloader first.
You dont sideload a recovery img. Go to bootloader, then enter this adb command
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery image) .img
PS. Xmod dont work on intel based android processor. Correct me if Im wrong, Ive read that a long time ago.
So im on V4.21.40.191 and no matter what recovery i flash it doesnt work, i cant get into recovery from bootloader it just reboots itself to bootloader. it goes in recovery only if android is running and i send it "adb reboot recovery" command but that goes to system recovery, i've tried flashing different recoveries but non worked, all recoveries were flashed fine, no errors, flashed them in bootloader through "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" command!
Please help, as im unable to root it, also if there is a non recovery way to root ZE550ML 6.0.1 then do tell me that too!
Thanks!
EDIT: i found out what i was doing wrong, my bootloader got locked during something nd i didnt knew, unlocked it again nd everything works fine now!
Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.
Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!
Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?
Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.
So my phone has been lagging a whole lot using the stock rom and I have decided that I'll try a custom rom to see if that changes anything. So I came here and saw this forum:
"https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1/development/half-gsi-oreo-8-1-t3902259"
I thought I'll try and so I unlocked my bootloader, only to have my phone be reset (not a problem, everything was backed up). It also boots with a warning "Device unlocked and can't be trusted".
Then I went on to download TWRP using this link in that post: "https://mega.nz/#!FQFXCYSY!DgxQRkaY1Eqq3B0fZLEQBNzUs0Zj80L6IzSHxdorQ3A" which is the TWRP 3.3.0.0 V2 IS FOR ALL USERS.
I didn't want to flash in the event it was the wrong recovery so I tried booting into it, fastboot boot recovery.img
It flashed, everything was ok and now the phone doesn't boot. It stayed in a boot loop. I went ahead and flashed recovery this time, no luck. Downloaded a recovery.img from another website and it didn't allow me to boot to android or recovery.
Is there a way to save my phone, I can't get another phone until August due to contract. It can still boot to fastboot and gets stuck when trying to boot to android. It being able to boot to fastboot makes me think theres a chance to flash a stock rom or any custom recovery and rom to get the phone working again. Any help? Thanks!

OK use the boot.img and recovery.img made by @janjan HERE. Under the heading ¨Downloads¨ see ¨Xperia XA1¨ and download the KERNEL + RECOVERY the boot.img and recovery.img are compatible with the G3121-G3112-G3125-G3116-G3123 devices on the applicable firmware.
Flash BOTH using fastboot. The boot.img is patched to allow TWRP to boot which it will never do using the stock boot.
If you wish to go back to stock then simply use FlashTool to flash the stock fotakernel.sin and boot.sin contained in the firmware for your device.
Does it works becouse I boot my g3116 from flashtool camand was
Fastboot boot boot.img and then also it's stuck into bootloader
hello there. I have htc desire 816 that runs on android kitkat. I wanted to flash custom rom and followed all the procedures. I rooted my phone using kingoroot and also unlocked the bootloader from htcdev site. I downloaded the twrp image specifically for this phone and flashed it using the official twrp android app. it indicated that flash was successful. i tried to boot into recovery but i could not find twrp . I tried flashing twrp using fastboot but no difference. I even tried flashing cwm . they all indicate that flashing was successful but i couldn't boot into recovery. When I click on Hboot then recovery, it spits me back again to recovery option. Can you please tell me what's wrong here?
