I tried to make a custom rom from stock recovery using classy kitchen. i wanted to see if it would work so i didn't change anything.i only removed the vendor folder.i flashed the zip but it wouldn't boot. So why does this happen? Is it the classy kitchen? Is it i have to change smth? On samsung oreo and nougat i had no problems.what is different in this case?

When I try to install a rom it wont install system files it skips over them only to extract some apps which means no bootup.
Any suggestions?
I've tried to install stock and then wipe and then install a rom and i still get same result however sometimes when i flash stock with odin i get fail at the very end whether it be for HLOS file or modem...
I think i can fix this if i wipe my partitions and get them partitioned again.. or maybe one of Odin's tick marks could help??
:crying:
please help
I'll probably sell this phone
More information is needed. What version of stock are you running? Are you rooting your phone? Are you installing a custom recovery? Which custom recovery are you using? Name at least one rom other then stock you've tried to install and how you tried to install it. I would guess no one has responded because they don't have the information needed to give you the help you are asking for.

Im having the same problem too I cant seem to install no rom other then the backup of my Stouck MDL...I tired installing wicked rom and of course it got stuck at the Samsung screen and i did everything when it came to wiping it ....sooo the i tried insane KItKat and that to as well got stuck on boot and im on the latest TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery running MDL stock
I've tried to install with CWM Recovery by OUDSH and TWRP and no luck I've tried installing WickedRom Hyperdrive and GE by Kot49H I can only install stock with Odin and the reason its not installing is because its avoiding the extraction of system files to the phone.
The recovery images all over this site seem really sketchy, but roms often come with great recovery and updates. I can flash the rom's boot.img during the update, but I also see that fastboot has a flash to recovery option. Is it OK to flash the boot.img to recovery or do I have to somehow extract recovery out of the boot.img? If I do a flash to recovery does that make TWRP permanent or can it still be overwritten by flashing new roms?

Get twrp from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/twrp-3-0-1-amami-t3350827 and flash with Rash for non-stock roms. For stock roms, net's xzdr is best - http://nut.xperia-files.com/
If a rom has a recovery included, it will probably overwrite your recovery. For best staying power, make sure you use real recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ral/bootloader-devices-real-recovery-t3117568 but even then you might still have to reflash your img, depending on the rom you install.

Thank you so much. I had the latest TWRP from the AICP rom but it was within the boot image and I couldn't seem to find a plain TWRP image that wasn't on some sketchy thread.
Also I was unaware that my firmware was out of date. When I was installing a rom I saw a number that related to the latest firmware so I assumed I had it. I was confused why using flashboot to flash to recovery wasn't working. It looks like the recovery image was always within the boot image and was getting wiped out with roms that didn't include a recovery image in there (AH HEM PARANOID ANDROID). It seems that I was able to flash the img to the special recovery now and I don't think it's getting wiped out. Thanks very much.
Hello -
My Pixel 2 XL is still running stock but is rooted with Magisk. I have been looking at some custom ROMs. Stock is working fine for me, but the dorm in me REALLY wants to waste time flashing ROMs...
I was looking at the thread for AquariOS and a few others, and they each mention flashing TWRP after installing the ROM.
At present, I have the .img file for TWRP and I boot to it from my computer using fastboot. Is there a reason why ROMs installation instructions have the line to install TWRP? Is there any reason not to just fastboot to it as needed? My concern is how difficult is it to return to the factory recovery mode, and is there any downside to having TWRP on this model instead of the factory. Is it possible to return to the stock ROM and recovery after installing a custom ROM?
Thanks

If you only want to use TWRP when you have a fastboot-ready PC available, there is no need to install it. The reason why that is there is because since TWRP is embedded in the kernel (not flashed to a recovery partition like older devices), it will be overwritten whenever you flash a custom rom that includes a kernel, and I'm fairly certain they all do.
Returning the stock recovery menu is as easy as flashing the stock boot.img. There are no downsides that I know of of having TWRP on your device. And yes, returning to the stock rom and recovery is as easy as fastboot flashing the factory image.

I dont install it anymore.
I run rooted stock and have no need really for a nand backup.
When I need it I just fastboot it and honestly I cant recall the last time I needed to do that.
On other deivces I have it installed for ease of updates for LineageOS.
My Pixel XL 2 swings both ways! I use TWRP on board and Fastboot!
I run stock rooted with flash kernel. I use my Nexus 6p terminal to fastboot boot TWRP on my Pixel when flash kernel pushes an update. I don't really see any reason to run a custom rom on this device as it runs great as is and there is an app for pretty much any custom rom feature you'd want.
Short question, I'd like to know if flashing the stock rom of the xperia S deletes the custom recovery ? I had installed twrp recovery but after flashing will I still have it?
Hi guys, my question is, when I flash TWRP, how can I keep it from being replaced without flashing custom ROM or kernel? Orangefox says to flash their recovery, then in orange fox you must install the 'orangefox.zip'. Is this a fix for it being replaced? Or is it just impossible on stock ROM? My data is not encrypted. Thankyou for all help and advice
In order for the custom recovery to stick you must either flash magisk or a custom kernel or both if you choose, let me know if you have any issues and I'll be happy to help you with the issue more.
Edit: ElementalX is a great custom recovery I recommend paying for their app to go along with the free kernel has a lot of features.
I must be missing something then, I am not new to the custom ROM scene with many old devices. So not a full noob.
I flash TWRP, then magisk, but after a reboot root is disabled and custom recovery gone.
This is the first device I am fully happy with how it comes out the box, don't want to make any kernel or ROM changes, just the ability to fully root so I can have viper ect.
