So I wanted to install a CM ver on my mother's Redmi 1s and first thing I have to do is root the device right?
<image>
I have tried downloading several SuperSU.zip from multiple sources, including here at xda forums and the miui forums, to no avail.
Every single attempt has been a failure using the Stock Recovery that comes with the phone.
Fine then, I'll just use a custom recovery. I then connected the phone to my laptop via USB and used the sdk I downloaded.
After typing this line >>adb reboot bootloader, the phone booted into a screen with the fastboot bunny, all normal yes?
Then I typed >>fastboot oem unlock, but the image below doesn't show up on the phone
<image>
Instead, the command prompt just shows a few lines of the process completing
<image>
I continued to enter>>fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img into cmd with the custom recovery image IN the platform-tools folder in sdk. Cmd again shows a few lines saying that the process completed.
<image>
However the phone still stays on the screen with the fastboot bunny, even after rebooting and then entering recovery mode, it is still the stock one. I have searched everywhere on how to root this phone but they just showed to install the SuperSU.zip using the stock recovery or the sdk method. If anyone could just help me solve this issue that would be great. If you need more information that I can provide regarding the issue feel free to ask. Thanks in advance !
P.s. Due to xda preventing me from posting outside links since I have not met the threshold, anyone who needs the pictures can message me privately.
Edit: Ah yes, I should also mention that I have tried using the stock Updater app to install the SuperSU.zip as well but that doesn't work. Also, I have tried using King Root and Kingo Root as the easy way, same thing.
Find the TWRP image for our device. I don't prefer the fastboot method; flashing TWRP and then the SuperSU zip is a whole lot more convenient as you don't need a computer.

But doesn't flashing TWRP without PC (with an app) requires the phone to be rooted to begin with? Or is there any workaround method?
Then use Philz recovery. There's a sticky in the general section that provides a link to such a guide using Philz. After rooting you can flash TWRP.

Nope, still doesn't work. Tried using the stock recovery to install update.zip and also flashing the .img via sdk, both doesn't work. I'm again out of options.
before do this backup your device
you can install custom recovery with official fastboot rom.
download any official fastboot rom for your device (stable or beta does not matter)
download twrp .img file for your device
rename your recovery image file to "recovery.img"
extract the fastboot rom
go to "images" folder in extracted fastboot rom
overwrite recovery.img file with your downloaded file
flash the fastboot rom with mi flash.
wait for the installation to complete
setup your device
turn off your device and go to custom twrp recovery.
after that you can install supersu or any custom rom via twrp.
I hope you have checked this post

For me..I started with a zip file containing the custom recovery (TWRP) it was named as Update.zip I got it from a tutorial I googled (noob, I know)...and I flashed it using stock recovery (Redmi 1s don't have locked bootloaders, I guess) and then I had Custom recovery installed..I made a backup of MIUI (it was unrooted, stock) and then flashed the CM 12.1( it was the latest then). Then there was no looking back.

I've used numerous guides and attempted to flash EITHER TWRP or CWM using fastboot. The process appears to work without any issue, but when I try to reboot to recovery, I get the lovely droid with the red icon.
For some reason, TWRP manager crashes immediately when I attempt to initiate an install of the recovery from within the app (I'm now on the rooted ROM from Bad Boyz).
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
I got the same problem.... solutions, tips ?...thank you

I had the same problem. What you need to do is download the TWRP image and use the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash it (or fastboot commands if you're familiar with them) . First launch Advanced Utilities and then select Recovery under Fastboot Flash. In Other... you select your downloaded TWRP image, making sure the option Also flash "perm-recovery-signed.zip" is activated.
Here's the deal. I unlocked the bootloader of my OnePlus 3, flashed TWRP Recovery with "Tool All In One" through my pc. Then I was able to root my phone, I did it and then, flashed the Open Beta 9 through TWRP.
Now the problem I have now is that I'm unable to flash TWRP from my computer and I don't know why. It doesn't display any error or anything else. But when I boot into recovery mode, it is not TWRP, it's the stock one. Help me out. I want root and Xposed lol!
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
into recovery Vol Plus and Power
flash SU
beta9 is Nougat so xposed is not working yet.

You need adb and Fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&page=95
On The Fastboot PATH
Same directory, Put twrp.img
Shift and Right Mouse.Open cmd and type
fastboot flash recovery "twrp file name.img"
You can get TWRP.
I recommend TWRP .28
After you can flash any Rom and Kernel , SU etc...
You need modified TWRP Recovery to Run Open Beta 9, official TWRP won't work
Here's the link for Modified TWRP

Thank you guys so much, I successfully flashed TWRP on my phone. First time, it didn't want to boot but when I rebooted it id did
... Well, update: Booted into system and when y tried to boot into recovery, this time unplugged from the pc, booted with stock recovery -_-
... Update of the update haha: I downloaded the root zip and then I flashed the TWRP, Installed root zip and made a backup of the whole system and now, the TWRP recovery is installed permanently. Thank you if you guys followed my thread.
I've got a rooted phone w/ an unlocked bootloader.
I've installed TWRP using ADB.
When I try to get into recovery (by using the physical buttons while booting) nothing happens. When I try to get into recovery via ADB, I get "no devices found"
What am I doing wrong?
Some background:
I flashed KK 4.4 using Flashtool.
Then I successfully installed and accessed TWRP. I tried and failed to install a custom ROM (AICP), but couldn't get it to sideload.
At that point, my device had no OS, so I re-flashed KK4.4, hoping that I could get the ADB sideload to work if I started from the beginning.
But now I'm back at the beginning, and I can't even get into recovery.
When I flash TWRP via fastboot, it successfully writes. But I can't boot into recovery.
Please help!
Disregard. I was able to access TWRP after I flashed the boot.img that came in the original platform tools.
It goes without saying that once I flash that boot.img, I'm unable to get into KK 4.4. I am, however, able to get back to TWRP, where hopefully I'll be able to flash a ROM.
Once again, however, I'm not able to flash AICP. It fails every single time.

You can try to pull boot img from aicp and flash it in two, then try to flash the rom, but not sure. You may have to flash LP first, just use a prf. Also, if you use Emma to update bootloader, (if you didn't already), then you can use real recovery, (twrp 3+), and it should work.

I just finished process myself, just to test, and works fine-
1. Download Emma
2. Download twrp3
3. Download Kingroot
4. Download Rashr
Plug phone into computer in flash mode after starting Emma, and you'll see option to flash newest fw. After flashing, restart and install Kingroot. After rooting, use Rashr to flash twrp3. Then power off, and hold power and volume down to enter recovery.

THANK YOU! I'm not sure what prf or Emma are, but I'll find out on my own.
Is there any way to do this that doesn't involve KingRoot? The whole "sends your info to a Chinese IP" aspect of KingRoot creeps me out.

two ways:
1) after you install the rom using EMMA connect the phone in fastboot mode and flash Advanced Kernel 18.1. it comes with its own twrp recovery. then boot to recovery and flash SuperSU zip.
2) after you install the rom using EMMA connect the phone in fastboot mode and flash TWRP recovery, then boot to recovery and flash SuperSU zip.

Is SuperSU zip secure? Do we know that it's not Chinese malware?

Haven't tried Lineage yet, but with CM, they had their own recovery which had to be overwritten after flash. Boot up, install Rashr, flash TWRP IMG with Rashr, then try again.
Also, real recovery is a good idea, if you don't have it yet. You need to flash stock with Sony Emma tool, then you have ta update, with real recovery capability.

Hey all,
i had an older version of twrp recovery, and tried to flash the new one from here:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
i opened poweshell from adb folder as usual while device is on fastboot mode, and used the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-dumpling.img
It said "wrting...finished" in powshelll, but when entered recovery - nada, black screen of death.
then i tried flashing older version of twrp in the same way - and still go the same outcome =\
I currenly dont have ROM as well - so practically the phone is uselss. please guys, i need you're help!
Flash stock recovery and stock FW via ADB. If that doesn't work, try one of the dozen recovery tools on this forum.
Tried to flash OrangeFox and BluSpark recoveries, same issue =\
im running out of ideas here guys =(
Just managed to install stock recovery, and downloaded latest 9.0.10 OTA from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-7-2-7-1-1-ota-t3709265
used LAA on adb.exe, and ran "adb sideload OOS.zip" while OTA zip is inside adb folder.
gives me "cannot read" error in powershell.
can someone tell me WTF is going on? how tf its even possible????
Hi all,
I have recently shifted from Samsung A52S to Onpelus 9 PRO.
I'm now a bit confused about flashing method....
I mean :
on Samsung devices, you have to use ODIN ( that is a Fastboot replacement tool ) in order to flash the TWRP and then, on TWRP, you can freely flash any new custom ROM or any other img files, by simply press "INSTALL" button instad of ADB sideload commands.
If I well understood, in order to flash this custom ROM, I have to do that through Fastboot commands before and through TWRP ADB sideload commands after......
My question is : may I flash boot.img / vendor_boot.img / dtbo.img and ROM zip directly through TWRP "INSTALL" button instead ???
If not, can someone kindly explain which is the reason why ?
Sorry for this noob question but I'm doing my first step into Oneplus and I don't want to do a mess.....
Many thanks for the help !
I personally been wanting to know why we no longer can simply flash custom roms via TWRP like we use to. I do believe its got to do with the way the A/B partition works however that does not really answers why we can't just flash via TWRP. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the answer so I am interested too on why we can't simply flash custom roms in TWRP and have to resort in sideloading or via fastboot. I would think flashing via a zip in TWRP will have less user errors compare to using a command line to do your flashing.
Saying that, I have been flashing via fastboot since I got this phone and even though its a longer process, it only takes a few more minutes.
twrp is not even fully adapted for android 12 or 13 (but who needs twrp anymore?)
I prefer to flash via fastbootd
(is less work for me)
best way is the magisk install

twrp is still the only way to backup the whole rom
it exist a non official version for 12/13
TWRP is the best tool to recover files when the OS does not boot. Since there is no ROM or kernel out there that recommend or uses TWRP for flashing. There is little reason to use TWRP unless is for file recovery. This is in respective to OP 9.
