hi, both volume keys (up + down) are broken
i an now running stock 4.3
is there any way to root my phone without them ?
i have adb drivers installed and i can boot into bootloader mode but cannot select to go into recovery from there
Search the forum for toolkits from wugfresh or mskip. That is automatic rooting and flashing. Just plug your phone to the computer using the cable.

Adb doesnt work in fastboot. If I remember it correctly it will boot into the recovery right after flashing. If it doesnt just flash it first and then type: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

There are some toolkits that you can use that bypasses having to do really anything on the boot up.
check out wugfresh nexus root toolkit
thank you for your help, but all options in this toll kit reboots my device into fastboot mode from there in need to change the selection using volume keys
that do not work
if i can only root my phone in order to install recovery from there i can continue to install a costume rom ......

your problem begins with unlocking bootloader in order to flash via fastboot.... you need volume key to select "yes"
I don't believe the OMAP flash method of unlocking the bootloader requires volume keys. You could then use adb to reboot into the bootloader and boot into a custom recovery.
That said, I highly recommend against unlocking and rooting unless you get your volume keys fixed. If something goes wrong and sends you for a bootloop, you may have a hard time recovering without functional volume keys.

Upgraded to 4.4.2. Re rooted. I was able to do a twrp recovery to my laptop.
When I went to do a routine back up via twrp I get a supine android with an exclamation point in a triangle coming out of his chest.
booting into recovery takes me to the recovery/bootloader menu. Choosing either takes me back to the recovery screen.
I replied with the nexus tool kit,; maybe it isn't compatible with 4.4.2?
Advice?
Just trying to be 100% clear here...can you get into both bootloader AND recovery without any problems? Can you reboot directly into recovery (power + vol up)? And do your partitions load up correctly in TWRP? Have you tried flashing a new Rom from any version?

you could use fastboot to flash the recovery again. the red triangle android thing is probably stock recovery. when you are on it try pressing power then vol up. if a menu pops up then it's stock recovery. you may have just erased your twrp.

Yes, it sounds like the first reboot after you installed 4.4.2 automatically flashed stock recovery. Just reflash TWRP in your bootloader.

yup. in CWM there is a prompt that the OTA will try to restore stock recovery and it asks if you want to prevent this. i'm guess TWRP doesnt have this or OP didnt do it.
Hello everyone,
Tonight I finally took up the task of rooting my Nexus 7 (2013). After I unlocked the bootloader I went to flash twrp as a custom recovery. After I did that the tablet is now stuck on the teamwin logo. The logo appears for 5 seconds, the screen flashes, and then it does it again. The tablet won't accept any commands from the computer and I'm just super worried that I messed up big and that it might be bricked. I followed the video XDA put up and downloaded the files linked. This is my first root and I have no idea what to do. Thanks everyone

I have now found that the tablet is in a recovery boot loop because I likely installed the wrong recovery for the device. It is running Android 5.0.2

Sorry I forgot one more thing. When I connect the device to the computer it doesn't show up so I can't give it commands through command prompt. All I can do is be in the main bootloader screen and if I try to go into Recovery Mode or Start the tablet enters the loop with the teamwin logo flashing over and over again.

If you can go into the Bootloader, did you try to flash the correct recovery or your stock recovery?
and what happens if you boot the tablet to the system (not recovery)?
@AbyssBreak Sorry, I forgot to put an update out last night. I did download the stock files from google which contained the boot loader and recovery image. I used the command "adb devices" in command prompt and it showed up blank. I decided to just try to flash the stock recovery so I placed the recovery image in the the platform-tools folder of android SDK and it managed to flash it to the device. Turned the tablet off and it started up like normal again. Quite a relief :laugh: Left the boot loader unlocked in case some time I do want to try again.

Okay. I will be rooting it once I come back from a road trip. Thanks for the tip! Are you sure that The Nexus Toolkit supports Android 5.0.2? I haven't found anything that does. Chainfire's CF Auto Root doesn't support anything above Android 5.0. Same with Towelroot from geohot. @11_SHOOTER_11

A definite yes on Nexus Root Toolkit supporting Android 5.0.2, at least in the latest version (2.0.4) - I used it today to get the latest TWRP installed on my own Nexus 7 (2013).

When did you try adb devices? While in the bootloader? Or in recovery? Trying adb devices while in bootloader will not work, much like fastboot devices won't work when in recovery or in the Android system.

Okay. Good to know. Once I root my Nexus 7 one of the things I wanted to do was overclock the CPU. Would you know if that is safe with this device and if so what should I set the maximum frequency to?

Adb devices will never work in bootloader. Try fastboot devices in bootloader.
Ok so I've had the fone a while now and finally unlocked the bootloader but as I'm knew to all this on lg can someone point me to a simple root method for marshmallow 20a I think if one exists or some other method of flashing TWRP onto my phone.
Thanks in advance

I've unlock my bootloader, and successfully flashed TWRP like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O64GfQORCaE
But I can't get in recovery mode.
I'm trying to root like so http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/kernel-t3232651 because I've already have 6.0 and I'm stuck....
Anyone can help please??
Edit: You don't actually need to use fastboot commands... it's just annoyingly counter intuitive.
Here's what works to boot into recovery after it's been flashed:
Turn phone off
Hold power and volume down
Release power for a half second when the LG logo appears then press and hold again
Unit will boot to white LG recovery asking if you want to wipe all data
Confirm yes twice
Unit will boot to TWRP recovery
-----------------
I had this problem earlier. You have to use fastboot commands to boot into it.
Change twrp-2.8.7.0-h815 to match your twrp file name
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img
Fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img

rooted!
but it doesn't read my sdcard and bluetooth...
When I was installing twrp and CM13 on my G4, I tought that I can't access twrp either. When pressing vol down+power I got to the default screen with only option to factory reset. So I used the above command to access it. But I noticed, that if I go through that factory reset thingy, it will go to twrp without factory reset. So after you get to factory reset recovery, answer yes to the first question and then yes to the second one and you'll get to twrp.
So to get this straight
1 adb reboot bootloader
2 fastboot flash recovery.....
3 fastboot boot TWRP......
Then I can backup my current setup and then flash any Rom from there just like with my Samsung using TWRP after that then I can enter recovery via the power and volume down buttons?

Even after installing CM13 I still got default recovery with vol down+power, but was able to enter twrp when rebooting from CM13 using something like twrp manager.
But as I said above, you get to twrp by going through "factory reset" from default recovery. It will not do factory reset.
I personally went with Genisys 3.6 ROM after trying CM13 for a few days. Picture quality suffered too much for my liking, and miracast support was also lost with CM13. With Genisys ROM everything works well.
Hi all. Yesterday I rooted my ze551ml and tried to flash twrp onto my device. It was not successful and now I have no stock recovery. When I try to enter recovery by pushing the power button, it just returns to normal boot. I unlocked my bootloader with a file I found in the zenfone general section. How do I go about flashing the stock recovery. I downloaded a stock firmware from Asus and extracted it. But the recovery does not show up as a recovery.img. can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I have tried flashing twrp with twrp manager and it says successful. But when I try to enter recovery, it goes back to normal boot. No dead android. I have downloaded the firmware package for my phone and extracted the files. I found the recovery, but it does not appear to be a recovery.img file. I believe I need and image file to flash through ADB.

I don't know then I have no time today , all stuff is in that link re flashing recovery , stock or custom , full firmware etc etc ..you have minimal fastboot and adb installed ? Drivers etc , your fone is recognised in adb ? eg, adb devices ?
What I would do , is fastboot flash recovery.img (twrp) and be done with it .Although if you have damaged other stuff ..flash full firmware , all info is in the link ..
@quicksilver53 Are you saying that you wiped your Bootloader? Otherwise, if you've unlocked your Bootloader, go into Fast boot and flash the latest TWRP IMG with adb tools using the command "fast boot flash recovery TWRP.img"

I have tried to flash the latest TWRP recovery with those commands. It fails to flash. My bootloader has been unlocked with the unlock and relock program I found in the General section. I also have root. I have used root checker to verify. When I try to enter recovery, it goes right back to normal boot. I get no dead Android nor bootloader menu. I think when I tried to flash TWRP, it deleted my stock recovery. I am at a loss here. I never had this happen when flashing on my HTC one x or M7.

I don't think your Bootloader is unlocked properly. Try unlocking again, as I myself have wiped my recovery partition more than once. The fast boot flash never fails me.

2) do you know the commands to flash a recovery in fastboot ?
3) and that you know how to get into fastboot ?
4) have you adb debugging enabled
Things to try, install 'reboot recovery' app from playstore and give it su rights then ..reboot bootloader ..then press the vol + once ...then try flash twrp in windroid toolkit ..the one for zen 2.

Thank you for your efforts timbernot. I am on .174. I did download the stock recovery but for my build, but was unable to flash it. It showed up as recovery in my download folder. It is my understanding that I have to ad .img to it when I flash" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". I will leave it for this evening as I am terribly frustrated at the moment. I'll try again on the weekend.
