It is possible to flash a ROM with the original recovery system if the ROM you want is a FLASHABLE zip. However, the original recovery utility doesn't have the function of backup/restore, that means u won't be able to make a Nandroid (backup) of your current ROM. If something goes wrong during the flashing of new ROM, your phone might be soft-bricked.
Think twice before you do that. My recommendation is to use the CWM recovery by acro68. That's the safest way.

Unlock the bootloader, go to adb/fastboot folder and store your ROM's boot.img there. Shift + Right Click within that folder and Open command window (be in fastboot mode on your phone in the meantime) :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Go to recovery, wipe all except SD (you can if you don't need your files) and flash a fresh ROM. Also, lock the bootloader and never ever flash any custom ROM again if you're going to call it crap whenever you fail.
edit: it isn't that easy to brick the device, and finally, your topic doesn't belong in this subforum.

The rom is crap because it didn't work or because you don't have a clue what your doing? It's not nice to say the roms crap when so many people have used without problem and without a doubt the problem will be down to you. People put a lot of time and effort into roms for free so try to be more respectful.

Agree
As previously said - These guys are all doing soooo much work for us (the community) and it's NOT paid - anyone who makes a ROM, ANYONE - needs to be applauded even for trying, but I'm sure that most ROM chefs test their roms to a point before releasing them and that you've probably missed a step or flashed incompatible zips or something...
Did you extract the boot.img from the roms zip file and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" it? It sounds like you might have been playing with ROMS which all worked on the same kernel and now you've flashed one which uses a different one, resulting in a bootloop like you say - I'm a noob and have done this a few times. Boot into bootloader, fastboot flash your boot.img, then boot into recovery and flash the rom (factory reset / wipe all data / cache / dalvik) and you might be lucky enough to boot into the rom!
These steps MAY not fix your problem if it is something else - but from my experience they are not steps which will brick your device, if you don't think you've flashed the boot.img - then I'd start there.
With our HOX's you ALWAYS need to remember (ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS) to flash (in fastboot mode) your boot.img (which is 99% of the time, included inside the roms ZIP file...
Hope I've helped!
(Hit thanks if I did! )
Before saying those "crappy" words to the rom. Read alot first. All the answers are in the forum. Rom chefs dedicate time to cook a good rom.

Guys......its not the rom, its not the boot.img.........surprise ! Its his hboot (1.12)
Get that updated otherwise it will never run.
And please loose the attitude towards roms that don't boot. They all boot but check the requirements first
Its your phone/hboot that does not support it
AW: HTC One X brick? Help me

I have hard reset my phone and want to flash DN4 ROM just wondering do I need to root before I instal TWRP and can this process be done without an sd cars
thank you
YES u need root and cwm/twrp recovery to install any custom rom
Ok will saferoot be ok for this.
Cwd and twrp am i correct in thinking these are both the same sort of program and i just need one of them?
No. You don't need root. Just install twrp via Odin and flash away
No need root. TWRP and CWM have same aim but they have different features, looks etc. This section for Android development so please be careful before you open a topic.

Sure you need root for that ,, if you install it without root you just can see 3 buttons reboot system , download and recovery
but with root you can do every thing like backup , clear data , install custom roms and more :good:
And you need just one of these Recovery's
hope i helped you
Peace !
Hello everyone,
after many hours of research I couldn't find anyone with the same problem or any solution for this.
Recently (yesterday) magisk brought out a new update 20.0 and I got a notification so I opened magisk manager and clicked on update magisk auto (recommended). After it updated successfuly, a reboot button appeared on right bottom corner and I clicked it. After it turned off and on it went directly to download mode and of top of the screen there was this error:
"partition vbmeta
Reason vbmeta: Error verifying vbmeta image:
0_0_INDIVLDVMT_EDRHS_IMTHSGAUEMSAC"
Screenshots:
https://prnt.sc/pigzsh
https://prnt.sc/pih0ax
And after like 3-5 times I hardreset (VOL DOWN + POWER) then immediately press VOL UP + POWER to come into magisk root mode again, the device boot but I have no root anymore. And there is no auto update choice anymore at magisk. I tried also patching the official firmware again and flash it but didn't work, I'm still not rooted and I get always many times to download mode with this error if I reboot the device.
Did anything go wrong during magisk auto update?
If yes, why it said "update success"?
Do I have to update magisk? I used the auto update method the first time and I am deep in trouble.
What should I do to fix this and getting rooted again?
If possible without losing my files/wipe data.
My device: Galaxy A70 (SM-A705FN/DS)
Android 9
Thanks in advance
HH
Hello !
Dont worry, same here. Just install the unofficial twrp from step 4 (flashing vbmeta)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a70-t3955984
Now your phone will be able to boot to twrp then to system
Follow step 5 for root.
I do that and my phone boot again and magisk updated.
You will lose nothing, easy and fast
Good luck !
PS : dont know Why we have this problem. But this solution work for me.

I tried to relock the bootloader when flashing a modified vbmeta, now its stuck and will only continue if i flash the stock vbmeta i assume. yes its the exact same screen and message and this phone won't let me flash anything :/ nor exit the screen with any key commands, just flashes a70 and immediately goes back to the said screen

I think you need custom recovery if you're stuck on this screen.
its a good news your phone boot in download mode and is detected by odin.
dont relock bootloader. (maybe... if you know what you do forget that ^^)
if you want stock vbmeta try to download all the stock rom from samfirm.
then flash all the stock rom ( if possible, verify the requirements)
hope this help.
ps : cant post link to samfirm because the forum lock me to post external link....(because im a new user)
and you need to have unlock your bootloader to flash, bad things can happens with a lock bootloader. like brick.

to update magisk you have to patch a recovery.img with magisk then install it with TWRP/odin.
just like the first time you get root with magsik ?

But step 4 says after flashing vbmeta.tar you need to go to recovery mode and wipe data. And this will make me lose all data. Do I need to flash vbmeta if I flash twrp?

If you already unlocked your bootloader, start with step 3.
If you are already rooted, start with step 4.
4 - Time to flash recovery. Download (link is at the end of this post) the latest version as zip and extract it. You should end up with one single file named recovery.img. Pack it as tar with 7zip or any other compression tool you prefer. This packed tar file should only contain recovery.img and nothing else, also make sure the name is still recovery.img, otherwise Odin will refuse to flash it. In Odin put the tar file in AP and simply hit start. Congrats you now have TWRP installed!
You begin from step 4. step 4 no need to wipe.
wipe is for step 3.
you are already unlock and rooted your phone if you have tried to update magisk and get stuck on vbmeta error.
ps : just do step 4. flashing recovery. then step 5 for root access ^^
good luck !

just connect your device to computer with cable and boot it with volume buttons
my plan was to install pixel experience, i had the bootloader unlocked, and after installing twrp; i wasnt able to boot.
long story short i wiped literally everything in the advanced wipe section of twrp, including system, thinking ill be able to boot my phone.
what i need help with, is there a custom rom which doesnt require an existing boot or os to run? or i can install stock rom from sammobile through odin and will it work that way?
i saw this on yt comments, wanted to know if it is correct, "When I inquired a bit about GSI ROMS, I saw that these ROMs doesn't flash over the boot partition, they use the currently installed one. Because of that you probably have a broken boot partition causes bootloop."
i am able to enter twrp and download mode from there.
thank you.
did you flash patched vbmeta?

Vbmeta verifies if any partitions was changed.
If it was, then it causes a bootloop if bootloader is locked.
