[SOLVED] Could not install TWRP

Hi,
I want to enable dualsim on my singlesim device and for that the TWRP has to be installed. After checking many threads, which less or more describe the same steps, I managed to unlock the bootloader and downloaded an "unofficial" twrp image for the Moto Z Play. But on the last step while trying to flash it I got the error "Image not signed or corrupt" and the image is not installed. Here is the output by flashing:
Code:
D:\Programs\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found

OKAY [ 0.255s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.246s]
finished. total time: 0.510s
Is there a way to avoid this error ?

Use: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" no quotes. I change the filename to just "twrp.img" less chance of typing something wrong.
and no the .exe you did.

I think it is flashed. After flashing the twrp via fastboot and u see that error then just ignore it, instead directly boot your phone in recovery mode using the volume buttons and look for the word "recovery" then press on power button then it booted there.

I've changed the filename to "twrp.img" and used the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The output is exactly the same as before.

unfortunatly not, after entering the recovery mode I see the message "no command" and I have to hold the power button and press volume up to enter into the Android Recovery menu.

I've tried with the following images:
twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img
twrp-3.1.0-0-addison.img
twrp-3.0.2-0-addison.img
which were downloaded from the url: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=126925
The result is the same by all of them.
Just to be sure, the image should be copied within the "ADB/Fastboot" folder on my PC and not on the device storage/SD card, isn't it ?

Yes, I did unlock it with the unlock key received from motorola:

After that a message is displayed at each start:
your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted

your device will boot in 5 seconds

After flashing twrp do not boot the phone otherwise the stock recovery will over write twrp,
After twrp is flashed while still in fastboot mode, use the volume buttons and select recovery on the menu.

This is not an error. If your bootloader is unlocked this message will display at every boot.

As Fandroid mentioned, it's not an error. My device also diplays it at startup.
I've added to this post a zip file that contains adb, fastboot and twrp version used to configure my device.

I wanted twrp just to create a backup and configure my device to support dualsim. Therefore and as mentioned in a previous post, TWRP is installed only momentarly and after a reboot it would be overwritten.
My OS is the Moto Android 7.0.
What is the issue that you have now ?

As I told earlier I am not able to install twrp due to which I am not able to install custom rom. I tried many times to install twrp, everytime it showed "image is not found" as you guys said I tried going recovery but again it shows you already unlocked boot loader, your device can't be trusted then says " your device will reboot in 5 seconds" this is what my issue is.

It makes no sense then to flash it. Why don't you just use
fastboot boot twrp.img
when you want to start it? Then no flash will be involved, and twrp will be just booted for this single usage. You can repeat this whenever you need it.

[BRICKED] Stuck in android 8.1 bootloop

I just bricked my phone :crying: :crying:
I wanna get back to the official rom, after trying android P (without make it work).
(the rom is from http://en.miui.com/download-354.html)
But I run the wrong script and take the flash_all_lock.img
And my device is stuck on android 8.1 bootloop (It boot, but i get an animated line loop ...)
Any ideas or tricks before i get it back to warranty ?
Thanks

Unlock bootloader and flash again. You can find a guide to unlock bootloader at the beginning of this guide.

Have you tried to switch the active slot?
Try if it boots using
fastboot set_active a
or
fastboot set_active b
If not working, can you enter recovery (power on with Volume up button pressed)?
If you can enter recovery, hold down the power button for 3-5 seconds and then press and release the Volume up button, to make commands appear. Then your only hope is to install the OTA update zip from there (copy the OTA in a microSD card, there is a thread where you can find the link to the OTA zip).
In my opinion, "OEM unlocking" in developer options MUST be always keep active, because incidents like this could happen, and because even without modding, an OTA could go wrong resulting in your same situation.
I was in your same situation (OEM unlocking disabled and then I locked bootloader with a custom ROM installed) with a Nexus 5X.
I don't remember well how I fixed it, but I remember entering in Qualcomm download mode (should be the same EDL mode) and loading a file found after many hours of research in strange forums and sites.

I have to enter EDL mode, but don't know how to do it since modified fastboot executables does not activate it it just reboot the phone...
Deep flash cable may help but not shure if it works, or I may have to disassemble the device to find EDL pins...

Have you sideloaded the zip? I think it's better to copy the OTA zip to microSD than ADB sideload.

There should be only two methods for entering EDL:
1- request authorization in en.miui.com forum. Sometimes the admins accept requests to give an account one EDL flash permission (but I don't know if it works with AndroidOne devices).
2- finding the test point in the phone's motherboard.

How to unbrick?
Hey guys. I bricked my Mi2 Lite as well. Is there any step by step way to unbrick?

had the same problem, was stuck in the bootloop even after I flashed img with MiFlash! NOTE: MY BOOTLOADER WAS UNLOCKED!!! (LUCKLY I DID NOT TRIED FLASH ALL AND UNLOCK!)
headed to this thread
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
did not work, I get error saying FAILED
but after i used
Code:
fastboot oem edl
I went to MiFlash and used "Clean all" option (again note DON'T use "Clean all and lock"!!!). It took around 5 minutes to flash and my notif. light blinked whole the time. After it say "Success" I was able to normaly boot the phone again

Find "Mi A2 Lite toolkit V 1.0.4.2" and use it to flash stock 8.1, it will do all the magic with a few clicks, just don't interrupt it until your phone restarts and you get the "Welcome" screen. After you can do the upgrade to Pie via OTA.

Hi, where i can find MI A2 Lite Tool Kit? i open my device and i can put in EDL mode., my computer detect my pone in EDL mode, but i can not know do.
I like bypass FRP, can anybody help me
Thanks.

Hi all,
I also had same problem and I just resolve it.
My phone was in bootloop mode after stock rom flashing...
You don't need apply "fastboot oem edl" !
Just be sure your device is unlocked.
Download first stock rom (V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF Firmware for Mi A2 Lite). If you flash last ROM, it don't work.
Flash it with XiaoMiFlash tool (don't forget to enable "Clean All") in bottom of the tool.
After reboot, you can apply OTA updates.
Enjoy !

Please help... My unlocked bl whyred stuck at logo... Please help

Hi guys.. my whyred stucked at Mi Logo with Unlocked Text Signed below.
Sorry, i need to create a new thread because i can't find any solutions from related thread that can help me.
The Problem start when i was using my phone (with 10% free space storage i think) then it got hang (stop respond), then i push and hold the power button to restart my whyred and then my phone stuck at Mi Logo as i told above;
Condition now :
1. Type : Whyred; Global Stable Rom; ARB 4; No Recovery (such as TWRP etc)
2. It can still get into fastboot mode
3. Unlocked Bootloader
4. Unable to get into recovery mode.
5. Unable to get into EDL Mode
6. Status fastboot oem device-info :
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
I have done some trial, and it always ends with error, such as :
1. Get the phone into fastboot mode and flash the latest Rom (Global & China) using Mi Flash, the result is some kind "error : write protected"
2. Get the phone into fastboot mode and using adb fastboot do :
- flash any recovery (TWRP) using adb (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img), the result is "error : write protected"
- flash boot.img from Latest Firmware partition using adb (fastboot flash boot boot.img), the result is "error : write protected"
3. Get the phone into the EDL Mode using Test Point (with battery been connected), it has been detected as qloader 9008 and Mi Flash can detect it as a COM Port, but when i flashed it with the latest ROM (Global and China), it ends with error too.
4. Get the phone into recovery mode using "fastboot boot twrp.img" and the result is the twrp just appear as a start screen without any button, so i can't operate the twrp.
5. Get the phone into recovery mode using "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img from Stock Firmware) and the result is the the phone success got into recovery, i did wipe data, the indicator showed the progress but it stuck without success sign, so i restart the phone using power button and the problem still persist.
Please, any suggestion will help much, i just dont know what to do anymore, i don't plan to bring it to service center because it will make an expensive price.
i am so sorry i am unable post any picture because i dont have any other phone.
Please any help guys..

Tryon orangefox recovery

Did you use the dummy.img to bypass arb protection?
You can try orange fox recovery.
Download it, then flash dummy with command "fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img" , after that try to boot orange fox recovery with "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Result is the same, flash antirbpass dummy.img done but flash recovery (even orangefox) got error : remote : error flashing partition : write protected.
When try boot with flash boot orangefox, the result is only the logo orangefox screen appear.

I don't know why, but I have tried this 2 things :

It finished successfully
But when I tried
"Fastboot flash recovery xxx.img"
It failed because error write partition.
That's why I think that there must be a solution to pass the write protected error..

Try clean flashing and locking bootloader in mi flash tool, then unlock bootloader and booting into recovery. I recommend getting latest version of MIUI in your device before booting into recovery. If you want, before this, try pitchblack recovery also. If it works, no need to install MIUI.

Yes, I tried all standard procedure...TWRP RECOVERY, FLASH ROM etc...
The finally msg it's same "write protected".
Any IDEA ?
I think it's a "commercial lock" applied by XIAOMI. .... for change a phone.

If you try to flash using MI flash tool, i.e, use clean all and flash option in mi flash tool. It will succeed. If it doesn't, you may have to use other method.
Here link contains all details.

Me also faced this issue on my whyred last week. I read through the comments and find me faced exactly the same bricking. 'write protected' message on fastboot flasing, twrp and orangefox booting only to its logo, able to boot into stock recovery but wiping data stuck on 99.99 %. etc..
I also tried the recovery method by using miflas pro , Edl flash (not worked due to the authentication or device storage emmc corrupted) but no luck. Finally i give up on flashing and went to the service center. They tried to flash the software but no luck. They said the internal memory emmc got currupted , so need to replace it. Now i am waiting for the device for one week. I will let you know whether it will working or not.
I would like to know one thing..
Which Rom and Kernel are you using when the phone was bricked. My phone also bricked like the same way as you said in the OP.

Try Flashing zip recovery from recovery mode.

This happen to me 2 day ago.same like the user mention.screen freeze and then when restart it stuck forever on splash image.twrp also stuck on start image.read from 1 user from indonesia.he also have this symtom and the mi technician said ic cpu got damage.so guys.whether u have to change motherbod or buy new phone its up to you.but i suggesting buy a new phone.move on..changing mother price is u can get new phone with better chipset.hope this will known to other user that have this problem.i also don know what to call this phone symtom.. hardbricked faker?.fyi i already oder note 9s.but i really love reno5 huhu.so sad it cant be fix.

Same happened to me last week, tried all methods like OP but no luck so gave up and ordered redmi note 9 pro (64mp). But i miss my rn5 pro so much ?
Probably emmc or cpu got corrupted for no reason, shame on you xiaomi but i couldnt give you up ?

Unbrick realme x

Hi it's me again
i've bicked my phone last week, it only shows the image of realme and then a text that says the boot/recovery image have been destroyed, the problem with this brick its THE BOOTLOADER ITS BLOCKED AND THE PHONE CANT START THE RECOVERY, so the options are pretty limited, plus my device is china version.
The things and tools that i've been trying are:
*ADB FASTBOOT (i know i already said that the bootloader it's blocked but i had to try)
*Qualcomm snapdragon flash tool QIFL
*Qualcomm premium tool
*XTM Inferno tool
*OPPO download tool
*MSMDownload tool
Yeah, i've tried a few things already (not too much to be honest), but with everyone theres a problem.
Adb dont recognice because its not in fastboot, QIFL needs a xml file but the roms don't have it, and i dont know how to program it, XTM inferno tool dont recognice the device, and oppo and msm download tool needs an account, if anyone knows what can i do now, please let me know, i'm a little bit sad cause i haven't made it to unbrick

So sad that you can't enter fastboot. It seems that means you can't send commands to your phone.
Recently, I saved my "soft brick" China version RMX. I also get "boot/recovery image have been destroyed" notification, but I can enter fastboot mode (power+Volume-), and my fastboot is unlocked. I used "fastboot flash recovery" cammand to flash TWRP and another command for vbmeta (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...very-unofficial-twrp-realme-x-stable-t3959556). However, the response in "Windows Command Prompt" is "Failed unknown error".
So I decided to power off and charge my phone. After power off, there is thunder icon, a symbol for charging in powe off state, on the screen. Sunddenly, the phone boot into TWRP automaticly. I connected it to my laptop at once and find TWRP MTP service works which means I can copy the 2.6 GB stock Color OS zip (RMX1901CN_flashable_A17.zip, https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x/how-to/guide-to-stock-rom-stock-recovery-t3974607
, https://sourceforge.net/projects/rmx1901/files/custom_recovery_StockROM_flashable_files/) to internal storage (/sdcard), and I installed it successfully, though there was "Unmount to mount storage" error when I wiped Data in TWRP.
Reboot to system succesfully and showed Color OS setting guide, which showed at the first time you turn on the phone. Recovery changed to oppo stock Recovery, but the unlocked fastboot mode didn't change.
I am not sure wether the link is useful for cracked MSMDownload tool :https://www.techoxygen.com/msm-download-tool/

Thank you very much, i will keep looking, and will see the tool u shared, any step forward i make i will post it, and thanks again

Flash official ofp format stock ROM in EDL mode might be helpful. The links offer ofp ROM, guide & password for download tool. An XDA post also mentioned this link. But I'm still confused about the difference between RMX1901 and RMX1901EX model. Some custom ROM is universal for India and China variant on XDA .

Hi dude, at this time I have not found a way to do it without realme tech support, or remote flash tool.
This device needs a “permission” of realme servers to get flashed. If your device is India version you can ask to boy cracker staff, if your device is China version maybe combine file staff can help.
If you have the option of send it to realme tech support, you should take it
