1 week ago i bought in china the watch .i dont know Chinese and i was just there for business so i thought that when i will connect to my phone it will automatically change to English but that never happend . So i tried several threads in xda to understand how it is working and what can i do . And i followed the thread that says to flash another system img recovery and boot . So i first unlocked the bootloader and booted on it and i flash the images and tried to reboot to recovery but already the recovey option in the bootloader is missing i get only shutdown , reboot , reboot bootloader , so i thought that i haven't correct flash the recovery.img so i flash it again but still the same . I also tried twrp recoveries and other recoveries that i found in other threads but still the same i can only boot to bootloader and nothing else . Has any one had the same problem and fixed it ? And if not were can i find the stock chinese firmware to try to flash it maybe it will come back to life .. thanks in advance
Have you tried using adb and fastboot commands?
Ex::
adb reboot-bootloader (for bootloader)
adb push xxxxxxx.img or xxxxxxx.zip /sdcard/ (for transfer files to sdcard)
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/ (for transfer yours custom recovery - i recommend the latest 3.1.1.0 because the others have some bugs)
after that boot to recovery: fastboot boot recovery.img (personally i never tried to flash the recovery but just boot it, baut it works)
from recovery just install the files that you have transferred earlier to sdcard (oh, and prior that erase everything except internal memory, or that toot but you have to transfer your files again)
ex: install zip (i recommend negalite) after that install kernel (negalite too) and install performance or battery booster .
Oh, after kernel install, it will automatically reboot, so you have to repeat the process to install the booster.
Reboot.
p.s. - the reboot process take LOOONG, so wait patiently.
Hope i could help you.

If you want to enter the bootloader, to choose, where u want to reboot and you are stuck:
Hold the button on your watch...hold it, till you feel the first vibration after the restart at the HUAWEI-Logo. Then, press the button once again (Its just timing).
It should show you your bootloader and you can restart into recovery or wherever you want.
Hope I could help :highfive:

Go to Original Android developement. It's in the pre-rooted thread, these are the ONLY img files for roms available unless you push the zip file using ADB...
Flash the system zip file rather than trying to flash simply the .img. The zip files are in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/asus-zenfone-2-rom-t3054956) and might help because you're also flashing default recovery... could be CWM.
Also try flashing using fastboot.
your phone model?

1. download the latest recovery from here https://dl.twrp.me/Z00A/ and firmware from here http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.97-user.zip
2. download and install adb and fastboot driver from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and intel usb drivers from here https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
3.the adb driver should have installed in your pc OS drive [ which is C: ] put the downloaded recovery and firmware in that folder [where adb is installed] then in that folder, open command window by pressing shift and right click and a dialogue box will appear then open the command window from there and enter this command fastboot flash recovery {name of the recovery twrp something}.img then connect your phone to your pc and enter bootloader in your phone and press enter in command window.
4.after that put the downloaded firmware in any sdcard and put it in your phone then open recovery mode in your phone and go to reboot>recovery [yeah you have to reboot the recovery] then when recovery open again then go to wipe>advanced wipe> and select system,data,cache,dalvik and internal storage [internal storage is optional but if you choose it then it will wipe all your data in your phone] then wipe it and go to install section then choose the extsdcard [it should be written internal storage click on that then you can choose your external storage] then in the extstorage choose the firmware you downloaded and just swipe to flash.
5.patience ..because it would take time and maybe get stuck at 52% or 59% ..so just let it take time for installation [btw connect your phone to thr charger in this process]
6.after it done then reboot your phone and ALL DONE. [the first boot will take some mins to boot up]

I used this https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3.img.html recovery to flash but after reboot to system and then to recovery it shows the stock recovery. Any help ?
That's quite normal. If you flash a stock rom without reinstalling twrp before rebooting system, you will lose twrp because stock rom will install stock recovery too . So, you have to install TWRP from adb by Fastboot again.

Honestly its not that urgent to be honest before you flashed the stock rom you should of read up on what was going to happen. Being knowledgeable about what you are doing is your biggest asset. Also its not that big of a deal reflash TWRP as mentioned and going forward do some reading before making moves
Also make sure the right stuff is checked off in your settings so that the stock recovery does not come back
if u can still boot into ur OS just download flashify and flash twrp via flashify, u can download twrp via flashify too
this is normal it happens from time to time

did you follow these steps or did you just reboot directly into the OS
2. Flashing TWRP
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power.
Rename the recovery file that you downloaded above to recovery.img. *Make sure that you rename it to recovery.img NOT recovery.img.img* ,Make sure that this file is placed on the desktop.
Open a new command prompt on desktop and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed.
In TWRP, select Reboot and then select System. Now your phone will boot into System and you have cleared Steps 2/3 . Grats.

Hi,
Got my answers regarding recovering the swift after some more digging.
But how to root the swift without any issues in now the question !!
Cheers
Steve
which issues do you expect?
Soo find the root zip file from chainfire which in it has boot patcher and put it on sdcard. Then, you need to unlock the bootloader thru fastboot with some commands wich u can find on the internet. Flash the custom recovery lije. Twrp, and flash root zip file! Thats it! WARNING! ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE ERASED SO BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!

Hi thanks for the reply, from fastboot I installed TWRP which worked fine but only if i prevent it rebooting by pulling the battery, i then used TWRP to flash it with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.. Im still waiting at a boot screen to see if it worked - to clarify.
1. set 'allow bootloader to be unlocked' in developer menu options
2. loaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550 to sd card via PC
3. installed TWRP 3.0.1-0 via fastboot -
fastboot -i 0x2970 erase recovery
fastboot -i 0x2970 flash recovery recovery.img
Then pull battery out without it re-booting.
4. Replace battery and reboot into TWRP, installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550 via TWRP.
Back to square one non-booting phone.
Root, wipe and repeat !!
Ground hog day ?

After a few mins of boot screen I pulled the battery and turned it on again .. it booted.
But do I have root ?? Nothing seems to say I do.
Use the latest SuperSU "BETA-SuperSU-v2.77-20160827190633.zip".
Using twrp flash the file.....
Then ur phone will boot 2-3 times ....and it will boot properly with no issues.
Sorry ....I cant put links ......Google this file and Download it.

Thanks Joshua, as it turned out it just took as you said about 3 boots to sort itself out but seems fine now ...
I'm on fw Global 9.6.6.0.
(Bought the phone 'bogus' unlocked with "fake" 9.6.4.0, bricked it while trying to restore chinese fw and re-lock bootloader using miflash - I'm not doing that again
brought it back to life using the steps from Omer919's thread - thanks Omer919 and Nijel8)
I deleted install-recovery.sh from system/bin using TWRP's file manager before first boot, but it still overwrites MIUI recovery.
It's not a huge deal because I guess I can always fastboot flash twrp before flashing any new ROM, but does anyone have a solution? Much appreciated!
You have to boot to twrp right after flashing.
Go to twrp official site, choose your device and follow exactly instruction to the end.
It wouldnt harm your device if you reboot it to twrp twice.
Thanks, I tried but it reverts to stock recovery. After flashing TWRP in fastboot, I either try Fastboot boot twrp.img or disconnect the cable and hold power and vol+.
Either way, it goes into TWRP, and I make it boot back into TWRP several times with no problem.
But as soon as I boot to System, it reverts to stock.
TWRP site gives me this info (but it didn't work):
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
OMG I found it - Google really is a friend. All I had to do was install Magisk before booting to System.
Below are my exact steps, if that helps someone.
Preliminary:
Download Magisk 17.1 zip, place it on a USB flashdrive.
Install latest magiskmanager apk from Play store (or sideload it if not on the store)
1- In Fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img (If all goes well, this boots to TWRP; if prompted for a code, hit cancel)
2- Disconnect the cable.
Reboot to recovery once more (just to make sure, this is probably redundant; hit cancel if prompted for a code)
3- Mount USB-OTG, connect your flashdrive.
Install Magisk.
During the installation, you'll see some red fail lines, but Magisk seems to work around the encryption, just be patient.
4-Reboot System. You're done! Launch MagiskManager. Device is rooted in the process, too. (Verify with a root checker app).
Power Off. Hit Power + volume Up - You should boot to TWRP.
thanks a million McNoob. I was lost, but due to your hints I managed to install Magisk
Hi i cant boot to twrp and it keeps reverting to stock recover..

Hi.
So I was messing around with the twrp custom recovery and (without thinking much of it) wiped everything in the advanced wipe menu :crying: (System, data, EVERYTHING)
I knew I had removed my OS and that I could just use the twrp recovery to install a new rom onto my phone BUT little did I know, when I tried to boot into the custom recovery, it would just loop the screen with the redmi logo
I am still able to boot into fastboot mode, and I have tried to flash the same twrp recovery but with no avail (It still loops the redmi logo screen)
So now I'm here to ask if there is any advice that you could give me to try and fix this problem that I have gotten myself in (I am not worried about deleting any of my personal files. I would just like to get twrp to boot so that I can install another rom)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem :highfive:
Hi, which rom are you trying to install? for android 9 use this recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-recovery-redmi-t4002397, for android 10 this one... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82062075&postcount=7...

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
The stock android I had before I wiped everything was android 9, MIUI 11. I tried againt to flash the recovery through fast boot but (like before) when I try to boot into the recovery (by holding the volume up button as it reboots), the redmi logo keeps appearing and disappearing and doesn't go to the twrp recovery. At the current moment I don't have any OS installed (since it got deleted when I wiped everything)
Any other leads I could try?

I'm not sure how I can flash the stock ROM without the twrp recovery. I had the impression that you needed twrp recovery in order to install ROMs in the first place.
If there is a method to flash a ROM using fastboot, please explain since my unexperienced self has no idea how to do this. :laugh:
Thanks for the fast reply too

MiFlash works through fastboot mode. It's also safer to flash with MiFlash, just make sure you have the correct ROM.

Yes, this is the method I used to flash the twrp recovery.
My problem was that even after installing it (using this method), i would still not be able to boot into the recovery.
However, it is fixed now. I used the Mi Flash tool in order to install the stock rom and then installed twrp after that. :good:

I tried this method and IT WORKED!!
After installing Mi flash I was able to download the stock rom and install it through the program without any errors.
I was then able to finally boot into the OS and install twrp recovery, then install the custom rom! :laugh:
Thanks for this method. I would probably still be stuck on the Redmi logo if it weren't for this
