I just updated my swift 1 to Nougat
Now i can't flash twrp
After flash it successfully
It boot the stock recovery not twrp
Hold 'volume-down' and 'power' for the restart after flashing, if you reboot into system, it will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery again.
So how i can boot to twrp
Thanks

If you press VolDn and connect USB, TOS111B Nougat Swift 1 boots into fastboot which has menu to boot into recovery.
However the twrp-3.1.1-0 cannot not mount f2fs /system, so you can backup/restore all but system. Of course you can always fastboot flash Nougat system. As mentioned, if you do not prevent it, original recovery will overwrite custom one upon system reboot.
Hi I'm very thankful for your reply
But I am i little bit newbie at fastboot
Can you please show me how to do that in steps ?

I had a friend's Swift here yesterday. No longer today.
I recall:
Press VolUp and connect USB to computer -> boots into fastboot [-not- VolDn (my bad)]
inside fastboot is a menu to reboot (system or recovery or fastboot)
I think one should also reboot recovery with VolDn+Pwr
sorry to ask: Why do you need to boot into TWRP?
Also, system boot restores stock TWRP. You need to modify system to avoid it. Typically some
rc script copies the partition back so you need to find that script and/or rename the file.
Because i wanna to install linage because after updating to Nougat the touch is not working probably at portrait mode but on landscape it works fine
Example if i want to type hahahahaha
It type the letter between it "sdfsddf"
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
After successful installation:
Code:
fastboot reboot
and immediately press and hold 'Volume-down' and 'Power' until your Swift has restarted.
If you want go switch to Lineage, proceed as described here:

ok : initially you asked "boot to twrp"
but: it turns out now you want to "install twrp"
I was answering wrong question.
Or, did you already have twrp installed?
Note that even if you have on stock Nougat, it will be overwritten unless you prevent it.
Also note that even if it overwritten.
You may want to boot recovery from fastboot and it may end up in twrp.
I agree that's confusing but that's what I experienced yesterday.
Again I do not have the device here anymore.

perhaps try (assuming you already flashed stock nougat from fastboot):
reflash twrp from fastboot and reboot to it from fastboot menu (use volume button to change start to recovery)

fastboot reboot
Hello, I have sent my phone to warranty and after that I received a phone with NO RPMB and after many frustrations I found (with help of many users and forums) how to workaround this..
To start:
Download boot image from here
Download twrp from the official website
Change the name to boot.img and twrp.img and put it in the platform-tools folder
Open the terminal there
Download your favourite rom
Enter fastboot mode on your phone
!!!!After this you will loose all of your data!!!!
Paste this to the terminal
fastboot oem unlock
(select yes on your phone)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Reboot to recovery (if it doesn't enter at the first time enter download mode again and restart to recovery)
After that you have twrp and can flash every rom.. yay!!!
Wipe everything.
Copy the rom zip to your phone using MTP
Install your fancy new rom
If you want to install magisk:
Install the magisk manager.
On the app select install and select patch image file. (it will create a new boot image already patched)
After that install the new image (patched_boot.img) using twrp
Do a clean instalation of your ROM (recomended) or a Factory Reset first
Reboot to twrp
Select install
Click in install image
Select patched_boot.img
Select install to boot partition
Reboot.
Install magisk manager and do the sugested setup.
You now have magisk working
Thanks to all the users that helped me!!
I had real trouble getting twrp to work the last time I tried this a few months ago. Followed the steps here and am now on pixel experience with magisk. Thanks!
Hello, im in the same situation of NO RPMB. This procedure will permanently lets have bootloader unlocked?
About Magisk, i can install it in usual way once im in the recovery? (I mean download latest stable version for Bullhead and flash via TWRP).
Thanks.

My bootloader is still unlocked after following this guide
For Magisk:
-Install your custom ROM and boot it up (without root)
-Then extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and save it on your phone storage.
-Install the Magisk manager apk
-In Magisk manager, select install Magisk> choose the patch boot image option and -Select the boot.img you previously saved.
Once it's done, reboot into twrp and flash the patched boot.img. When you reboot Magisk will be working.
I've had no issues with my bootloader, even after an ota update for pixel experience.
Thank you, i will try it.
Another question. I never tried dowload mode before, as i read in other post i should Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb that's already connected to pc, right?
When in download mode i can fire up fastboot commands like im in bootloader mode?
So then after do last command fastboot format cache i can reboot to recovery from terminal using adb reboot recovery or i can / should do it from device?
About twrp it's ok to use the latest 3.2.3.0 official version or the 3.2.1 4core version from here as someone suggested from Reddit? https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-4-core-t3796656

The official twrp works for fine for me, haven't tried the 4 core version but it can't hurt to try if you need it.
Power off your phone then press and hold volume - and power to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc and follow the steps in the OP
So i have to enter in bootloader mode? At point 6 of OP there is written to enter in the download mode, this makes me confusing.
Can anyone explain me latest 2 commands why they are needed?
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

This thread is fairly comprehensive;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/moto-nexus-5x-sticky-roll-t3207487
Holding volume - and power takes you to fastboot mode (download mode essentially), theres also an option to reboot into recovery (selectable using the volume keys.)
Formatting user data and cache is necessary prior to installing a new rom (especially if moving from stock). You lose all data (back up first!) But a clean flash is the best place to start.

Thanks for the explanation but for installing a new ROM usually you can do factory reset directly in TWRP, plus doing all the wipes, this should be enough.
About fastboot mode and download mode, they are completely different, fastboot mode: vol down + power, download mode for LG: Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb.
My question is what i can do in download mode? As OP says after entering download mode open terminal and use fastboot commands.

You need to use vol- and power to go into fastboot mode then connect to the pc. As for userdata and cache, if you don't clean them when coming from stock you will have issues (your data will be encrypted if you're on stock?). As I said this guide worked for me. The op was talking about fastboot mode in the 6th option (also there is much more information in the thread I linked above)
sorry for the confusing i wanted to say fastboot mode..
i knew the thread that you are saying but most people doesn't want to search so I made a little thread only with the needed parts..
I use it myself so I have a place to remember all the steps when I need to change the rom to a new one or when I make experiments and brick my phone XD
If anyone know anything else that should be in here just say, I really want to improve the post

your device will always be locked this is a workaround to get twrp, new roms and magisk while it stays locked..
with twrp usable it won't matter if you are locked or not

Thanks for the answer. You mean that now I have twrp, I can flash custom Roms with my bootloader locked without any issue?
Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A3003 en utilisant Tapatalk
Yes if you have TWRP you can install custom ROMs, custom Kernel's, magisk, super su, etc..
the locked bootloader only prevents you from using fastboot commands like the one needed for installing custom recovery
Now that you have TWRP you can use it for everything
Hello everyone, I also have a nexus 5x with motherboard that has been replaced under warranty and unfortunately I can't keep the bootloader unlocked.
I tried the procedure you have indicated, but at this point there is the problem, because after inserting the boot.img and twrp.img inside the phone, then when I go to do the unlocking procedure with 'fastboot oem unlock (select yes on your phone) 'in practice the memory is deleted on the phone, so I lose the previously uploaded files, and therefore I can no longer continue with the flash procedure of boot.img and twrp.img because they are no longer present in memory.
I hope I made myself understood, maybe I am wrong, or is there a way to solve this problem?

fastboot is for the files on your PC not your phone
you need to put the files inside of platform-tools and then open cmd inside it and use the fastboot commands
fastboot will take the files of your PC
Hello, thank you for your information, since I haven't done modding on phones for a long time, I didn't remember exactly the procedure with fastboot and therefore I didn't understand where I had to put the files, but in the end I did it.
Thank you

Why is a custom boot image needed? I don't want to root.
I have managed till installing twrp, however it seems like all the downloaded rom files and decrypt.zip are encrypted. I tried to copy 'em to the internal storage again but as I boot to twrp it again goes to encrypted mode. In Twrp, I tried to enable the MTP and copy files directly but it always fails. How do I go from here?? Please help!
Phone : MI mix 2
bootloader : unlocked
Twrp : installed
Twrp variant: Dwight twrp
Rom : Pixel Experience/ RR/ HAVOC etc

orange twrp ? could you tell me where can I get it?
My 2 cents:
If you can still boot whatever OS you have right now, back up things you need (including internal storage), then format /data. Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want, optionally DecScript to switch to unencrypted data after next boot. OrangeFox recovery is not necessary but its UI could be seen as intuitive to some.

How do I install the rom is my problem. Shall I wipe data, cache? and then how?

So you're seeing the storage as encrypted (garbled content)? I never actually used encrypted data so I don't know for sure, but Wight's TWRP might not be able to decrypt MIUI's /data, so IMO you do need to format (not wipe) /data. You might also need to reboot to recovery once after that, so that the storage is recognized properly by PC.

Boot into TWRP and select Wipe and then Select the Format Data button.
Make sure you're not sliding to factory reset or advance wiping.
NOTE: This will erase all the information from the phone including internal storage. Make a backup prior this process.
After you're done, you can connect the phone to a PC while on TWRP to copy the rom zip files to internal storage and flash them. A backup from TWRP is highly recommended just in case.

1- There are multiples ways to reboot to recovery:
Buttons combination: Turn the phone off and press Power + Volume Down and it will boot to recovery.
Apps (root required): There are multiples apps that has a option to reboot to recovery directly. Search something like advance reboot on Play Store.
adb (USB debugging required): Running the command "adb reboot recovery" from terminal will reboot the phone into recovery.
2- To flash magisk, first flash the rom and gapps and reboot to system, finish the initial setup and then reboot to recovery and flash the magisk zip file. Next reboot will take a few minutes.
Edit: The universal decrypt file is not necessary since the data partition is no longer encrypted.

Yes i agree. The thing is Mi has its own recovery, thats preventing me from going to twrp directly, (even though) twrp is properly installed. if i press the button combination it will go to the "Miui inbuilt recovery" Not to twrp. so i go the fastboot mode and boot to Twrp recovery thru adb command. If only I could suppress inbuilt recovery and boot to twrp recovery it would be great. Apps like "boot to recovery" only initiate booting in recovery. It fails to choose Twrp because there are two recovery inside.
In my previous devices, honor 8pro n Samsung 8+ this wasnt an issue. But with Mi phone...
Does yours boots to Twrp directly with the button combination?

That's means that the TWRP recovery is not installed, there's is just one recovery partition and only one can be installed at the same time.
From fastboot mode run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
That will replace the stock recovery and you will be able to boot to twrp with the button combination and any other app running the reboot recovery command.

Just remove lockscreen protection before rebooting into recovery. You will be fine. Do this before everytime you want something done in TWRP. You won't have to format DATA partition everytime. TWRP will decrypt with default password and you'll be good. I have moved between MIUI 10 and pie roms without trouble this way.

You can just use power + volume up combo to get into TWRP recovery. You don't basically need to fastboot for recovery after it's installed.
All Praise and All Thanks To God
Things Required: Unlocked bootloader, TWRP file, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip file, External SD card, adb and fastboot drivers installed in pc
Steps to flash TWRP:
Note: This will erase all your data, so please backup important things like photos,contacts etc , before following this procedure
1. Unlock bootloader if not done yet.
see this guide to unlock:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-3/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-guide-realme-3-t3999463
2. Copy Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip in your External SD Card. Power off your phone by pressing power button, after your phone is powered off ,hold volume down + power button to boot into fastboot mode
3. Commands to execute:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot -w
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
4.Touch will not work for 40 seconds, just wait until touch starts to work.
5. Now very Important part, take full twrp backup in your external sdcard and keep it safe in your pc (This backup will be helpful in future incase you soft brick your device or have some issues in your phone such as network or volte or some other **** not working)
6. Install the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip using twrp
7 .Reboot, Done!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please Note:
1. There will be red blinking notification due to flashing Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip, you can just ignore it. If you don't like the red bliking notification, just restore your nvdata, vendor and system from twrp backup.
2. Don't relock bootloader after flashing twrp, it might brick your device. (Don't use fastboot flashing lock)
3. You cannot restore preloader_a and preloader_b partitions using twrp, only you can backup the two partitions, so always uncheck these two partitions before performing a twrp restore.
4. Please don't use minimal adb and fastboot tool, use Latest ADB and Fastboot Installer tool , link is provided below.
Features:
1. You can directly flash ota zip from twrp, but you have to decrypt it first using ozipdecrypt from here:
https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt
2. Fstab includes all the partitions to backup and restore

Device Tree: https://github.com/fawazahmed0/android_device_Realme3_RMX1821
How to boot to recovery:
A. From adb:
adb reboot recovery
adb shell reboot recovery
B. From fastboot mode:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
C. There is no way to boot to recovery using power + vol down button after unlocking your bootloader. Only above two methods will work. (Don't relock bootloader after flashing twrp, it might brick your device)
Warning: if you did not follow the steps properly, either the twrp will be blank or you will be in endless recovery mode bootloop or you will revert back to stock recovery next time you try to boot to twrp.

If it's soft brick or bootloop see this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-3/how-to/realme-3-recover-soft-brick-boot-loop-t3920401
if it's hard brick go to service center.
I am not sure how scatter file will help you recover from hard brick.
Here is the scatter file for mt6771 chipset:

Use adb platform tools..
I want to unlock the bootloader but in the application step I have waited more than 1 hour and the server has not shown success.
Can you share a link of video tutorial please.

Features:
1. You can directly flash ota zip from twrp, but you have to decrypt it first using ozipdecrypt from here:
https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt
2. Fstab includes all the partitions to backup and restore
Steps to flash TWRP:
Note: This will erase all your data, so please backup important things like photos,contacts etc , before following this procedure
1. Unlock bootloader if not done yet.
see this guide to unlock:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-3/how-to/bootloader-unlock-realme-3guide-t3920394
2. power off your phone by pressing power button, now hold volume down + power button to boot into fastboot mode
3. Commands to execute:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-RMX1821.img
fastboot -w
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
4.Touch will not work for 40 seconds, just wait until touch starts to work.
5. Now very Important part, take full twrp backup in your sdcard and keep it safe in your pc (This backup will be helpful in future incase you soft brick your device or have some issues in your phone such as network or volte or some other **** not working)
6a. Copy and install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip in your phone using:
adb push Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip /
adb shell twrp install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip
or
b. copy the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip in sdcard and install using twrp touch interface, then wipe dalvik, cache, data and format data.
6. Done!
There will be red blinking notification due to flashing Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip, you can just ignore it. If you don't like the red bliking notification, just restore your nvdata, vendor and system from twrp backup.
Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_Quota_.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117924278

Device Tree: https://github.com/fawazahmed0/android_device_Realme3_RMX1821
How to boot to recovery:
From adb:
adb reboot recovery
adb shell reboot recovery
From fastboot mode:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
If you want to boot to recovery using power + vol down button, then you have to lock the bootloader using:
fastboot flashing lock
Warning: if you did not follow the steps properly, either the twrp will be blank or you will be in endless recovery mode bootloop or you will revert back to stock recovery next time you try to boot to twrp.

ROM manager shows that TWRP is my current recovery but I can't boot into TWRP recovery, I don't understand the issue.
Basically I have rooted my old Redmi Note 4 but that was past guarantee so I did not care that much.
My current RN 8 Pro is still 1 year in guarantee so I literally do not have the balls to do it on my own.
Is there any good soul who would help me out with rooting it, pretty please? Thanks very much in advance
btw. I do know stuff about Unlocking Boot Loader, installing TWRP trough Command Window and Flashing Magisk...that should be potentially enough but as I said above no balls and do not want to F things up and brick it.

Not sure you need my help for that but yeah if ya run into any problems, ill be here to help ya
Ty for responding. I read that but Im still not sure about what TWRP use on my phone (im not sure if i have to use special one or just latest version) and because I want to only root my phone Im also not sure, if I need to get a different ROM or I can do that on this STOCK ONE I have.
I bought my RN 8 Pro in EU. Im gonna try to give you more information about my phone, if you would be able to link me TWRP what I need and other files to root it...that would be awesome (its not like i cant read or im lazy f**k, its more like i dont want to F things up).

Hello once again...I might need some help
I was following these steps but after flashing this TWRP I cant enter into the TWRP...so far Ive tried holding power button then pressing Volume +; holding power button and then holding Volume+; even holding them both but still without any result...any chance you might help me here, please?
*EDIT: Im flashing stock ROM
Go to the system then do
adb reboot recovery
I flashed TWRP recovery once again, then I went for "adb reboot recovery". This is what happened after I used "adb reboot recovery" (attached picture). There is no sign about TWRP. What am I doing wrong? I literally followed the guide the flash of the recovery TWRP is successful. Is there any chance that Im flashing wrong TWRP recovery? Or that Im doing it on stock ROM? Usually its problem between chair and keyboard but I dont know :-/.
So Ive tried to boot TWRP through after flashing it with "fastboot boot twrp.img". It went through but it booted like normal so I ended up in system like when you turn on your phone normally.
Anybody, anything please?

First: what version of miui?
If you're on miui 12.5 this method will cause reboot.
If your phone is < 12.0.X its okay.
It looks like flashing recovery worked.
Instead of trying to adb reboot recovery after flashing recovery try this:
- When it's done, Remove cable and Hold Power + Vol. Up when phone starts turning on leave the power button but keep pressing Vol. UP until TWRP splash Screen shows up.
Version of MIUI: MIUI Global 12.0.5; Stable 12.05.0(QGGEUXM)

I was already trying that, if I do it how you typed the screen is gonna keep blinking with MIUI logo.
I was looking for the answers and I found smth about "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" to disable android verified boot, but dunno if its my case on stock ROM or not.

First you need to enter recovery, i think you didn't flash boot.
Follow the method below exactly.
Original post and files can be found here.
If error occurs..
1. Go to Minimal ADB and Fastboot in C: of your PC. Open Fastboot folder and Press Shift+Right Click and Select Open Command Window Here at the CMD type fastboot devices and enter (check if it's recognized the device).
2. Enter the following commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img and Enter then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Enter. We have flashed clean boot and TWRP.
3. Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. The recovery_fromboot.p file is already deleted earlier.
5. Go to Mount in TWRP check data, system, vendor, nvdata and now you can decrypt DATA by formatting in TWRP Wipe-Fotmat Data, write yes and swipe.
6. Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. If Chinese language change to English. If TWRP will ask you the password (this means that there is DATA encryption)click on CANCEL and get to the main screen.
We go to the mount, put check on data, system, vendor, nvdata and MicroSD card (if the phone has a memory card).
Press home to return to the main screen Choose Advanced-File Manager item >system_root / system / folder at the bottom there is a recovery_fromboot.p file delete it.
Go back to Advanced and select Close AVB2.0 and flash the archive with a swipe to the right.
Again, we go along the Advanced-File Manager path in the root, look for the supersu folder in it, select the SuperSu_installer.zip fileand flash it with a swipe to the right. This is an archive from Magisk_19.4 it will patch boot. The firmware of this archive should go WITHOUT a single error, all lines should be white and at the end of DONE. If everything was done without errors in the TWRP select the Reboot-System. The first boot will be a little long and Don't Panic when boot up check the Magisk Manager>Settings>Update Settings>Stable Channel.
I dont have any boot.img in my folder so I cant flash the boot.img. Having stock ROM and I have no clue where to get it.
My current ROM is MIUI Global 12.0.5; Stable 12.05.0 (QGGEUXM) and I think I just found it here on this link:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/begonia/stable/V12.0.5.0.QGGEUXM/
Can anybody experience confirm that Im suppose to copy out the boot.img out of it and then copy&paste it into Minimal ADB and Fastboot in C: of my PC and then going for the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as the last msg from Donkyshot says?
Tyvm
Id appreciate any help
Everything I did try is above.

Thanks. I used the boot.img and I was following the guide which "donkyshot" sent. But I got stucked right after I did those commands in command Window. I disconnected the phone went for the power button hold and then when it was blank I stopped holding power button and I started holding the Volume+ button. The phone was bootlooped on Xiaomi logo...I was waiting several times but nothing. At the end I had to flash the phone with stock ROM I downloaded through MiFlash...I really dont know what I was doing wrong.
