Realme RMX1991 CHINA - Realme X2 Questions & Answers

I'm currently on RMX1991_11_C.26_2c31f9ba build number, I was able to unlock my bootloader and flash orange fox recovery. But I got stuck on recovery since I can't flash any roms at all because it keeps saying there's a problem with the cache, so it always fails even though the zip file is not corrupted. I have no idea how will I be able to flash any rom especially the evolution x rom. Is there anybody who has the same problem as me?

I'm on RMX1993, but I had several occasions where OrangeFox destroyed my installation (it did not boot and in some cases I even wasn't able to start the recovery).
When I did the same installation with TWRP, it worked. So I guess OrangeFox does something different.
It's kind of sad, because I love some of the functionality of OrangeFox and the UI is great.
But for the time being, I am back to TWRP.
I also wonder why I don't read something about that, is it only me?

No reaction after flashing CustomROM and Rebooting

Hello,
I flashed a CustomROM and gapps, tried to reboot into system, but my phone does not react anymore since that attempt. The screen is black.
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-cm13-unoficial-2016-06-14-universal-t3473016
Gapps: core package from 07-16-16 (arm)
Is there a way to recover it?

You have hydrogen or helium?
Which TWRP image did you install exactly?
My device is a Helium 64-3GB bought in China (June/16)
Recovery was flashed using Flasher Toolkit from "en.miui.com" -> /thread-301971-1-1.html
(Link not allowed)
file name: "twrp-3.0.2-2-hydrogen"
I remember that I might have seen Hydrogen in the text box during installation, if you aim on the detection during the installation.

Yeah... Wrong recovery and the install detected your helium as hydrogen leaving you a brick.
My bad... I just added the warning about that in the thread after seeing your question... Should of thought about this scenario but since we have helium twrp for a long time now I I assumed nobody is isuing hidrogen... I knew what you did just wanted to make sure.
Never been in a brick myself but read this thread and you should be back booting in no time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594
And install proper twrp, please... or you won't be able to install any helium rom.
The device gets recognized in MiFlash, but after flashing the twrp and the stock rom, the device still does not boot.
Any proposes on my mistake?
EDIT: I just started the procedure again, unplugged the battery, connected the "jumper" and the phone booted properly.
After some failed reboots, it randomly booted into TWRP (now the right one, at least i hope so. gonna check this later) and I installed the latest RR (love the design).
So now, its just the ugly 3G-bug left and a little OC would be nice

Stuck on team win recovery project please help

I have no idea how to root or anything like that, I bought this oneplus 3 and had a update a week later.. so when I did the software update it took me into teamwin recovery mode and now I don't know how to get back into my phone please help....
Did you buy the phone second hand or did you try to flash TWRP yourself? It shouldn't have TWRP installed by default.
Regardless, you can use TWRP to flash the latest update.
Given that you have TWRP, I'm assuming that you have an unlocked bootloader. Did you notice a warning pop up everytime you reboot your phone before? It should say something along the lines of "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". If not, you'll have to unlock it (it wipes your phone in the process).
If the bootloader is unlocked, you can simply download and flash the latest zip for OOS 4.0.3 in TWRP. This will update you phone and replace TWRP with the stock recovery (so you don't run into this problem again in the future when installing an OTA). If you don't intend to modify your phone in any way, then this is all you need to do, your phone should be functional.
There are plenty of threads with detailed guides on how to do all of this.
I'm also stuck on TWRP after stupidly downloading the latest OTA and I don't know what to do!
Phone won't boot normal, just goes off.
Situation:
- Bootloader, Fastboot and TWRP wil load.
- Device seen by windows
- Zip install in TWRP gets stuck at 'patching zip unconditiontally'
- Another zip flashes, but gets stuck at the end, no reboot option (manually but that's not the way)
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, just want my phone back!

Saying i'm a dipsh-t I know, I know, I will do better in the future, for now, help a brother out please

Simple, check the OnePlus D/L sites for this one http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img and flash it by TWRP or fastboot to RECOVERY. Boot once with the official Recovery and all ist fine again.
This is issue of using a faulty twrp so for that when ur phone us booting up go to fastboot and flash twrp 3.0.4-1 and everything will work

Similar Problem here:
just wanted to flash latest OOS 4.0.3, so I flashed back stock recovery with flashify and rebooted into recovery mode to flash the already downloaded OOS 4.0.3. zip. That's when it began to go poop! After rebooting it just went dark with no Chance to power it on again! No dice with power button, Volume up/down + power button, nothing! Not even the LED's are blinking when plugged in. So this one seems to be basically dead!
I got it once booting again after randomly pushing the buttons (after x minutes!?), but everytime I reboot the phone it just shuts off without beeing able to power it on again. At the Moment it's dead!
Any ideas what might happened? If I get it on again, should I immediately reset it to factory Settings?
I am kinda lost here! Any help/ideas would be much appreciated!
Flashify? Never used it and never trusted apps which flash stuff on a running system. Use fastboot and reflash the recovery partition. Link to recovery is in my former post.
fastboot flash recovery PATHTOIMGFILE
Thank you for your advice! Still a lot to learn! Got it up again, will try as you suggested!
It appeared that my stock recovery file was corrupted , but all is fine again! Thank you very much!

I may have been the person you traded with to get the OnePlus 3, but I took the phone back and after 5 hours I got it up and running.
The phone would boot to TWRP, but even after wiping the entire system and dragging a ROM zip to the internal storage, reinstalling did nothing. It just kept booting back to recovery.
The solution entailed the following.
Download stock recovery IMG. Flashed through TWRP. Rebooted recovery and now was back to stock recovery.
Download the official OxygenOS ROM zip from the OnePlus website and changed the name to update.zip
Next I downloaded Android studio for access to ADB. I had never used ADB before, but I knew this was needed to push a file to the phone.
Needless to say, ADB kept freezing my computer when I would type in the commands to side load.
I deleted Android studio and installed a minimal ADB/Fastboot I found online. I opened my command prompt, typed the command for sideloading, and immediately got my installation starting. It took about 10 minutes to fully install. When it was finished, I rebooted and had a fully functioning OnePlus 3

Hi Everyone,
I would gladly accept any help that is being offered. Thanks in Advance.
So I am not new to flashing my phones but Xiaomi has been one of the most frustrating experiences that I've ever had. So I flashed my phone with the Pixel Experience Rom but I wasn't getting 4G with it and I couldn't recall if I was getting 4G with the original MUI so i decided to flash MUI firmware .
So, Not really sure what I did wrong because i believe I could flash the firmware without any problems but guess not. So it flashed successfully and my phone rebooted into Fastboot and will not load into the phone. So booted into recovery and Red Wolf TWRP is asking for the encryption password which I normally enter and I do it again and behold it's telling me that the password is wrong which is am sure it isn't.
So I am unable to use Red Wolf TWRP to flash anything since i can't mount the storage section because of the encryption and tried flashing the phone with MiFlash but doesn't seem to work. It is telling me that the image and device is a mismatch which I don't believe since I've flashed those ROMS before.
So any helpful advice would be appreciated.
I guess you need to flash stock firmware in fastboot mode. Download fastboot rom from mi website. Power on your phone while pressing volume down keep pressing power button for some seconds to enter fastboot mode. Connect it with your pc and upon connection you will heard plugin sound from pc. Extract downloaded fastboot image and double click on flashall. Wait for process to complete. Your device will auto reboot upon completion

So just format storage, it will be no longer encrypted. Then mount storage in twrp, paste your rom of choice from pc and flash it. Unless im missing something here
A mismatch you say? hmm I have had this before and I managed to flash the rom without issues deleting some lines in a rom package. It's quite simple, just follow this little tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-178314-1-1.html
Thanks for the responses. I followed this guide here to resolve the issue.

G4 only boots to TWRP

I recently dug out my old G4 to see if I can repurpose it for anything or just have it as a back up.
It's an H815 European variant with unlocked bootloader. When I last used it I had it running a custom ROM but when I got a new phone I wiped it somehow with TWRP (this is a few years ago so I can't remember).
Now whenever I turn it on, it boots into TWRP. If from TWRP I choose reboot to system, it boots to TWRP.
I tried to install a ROM but it wouldn't, giving the error "this ROM is for P1,G4,H815 (or something like that), your device is .".
So, I edited the ROM metadata and took out the device requirements and it installed fine, as did GAPPs & SuperSU, but still it only boots to TWRP. I've flashed bootloaders, kernels, god knows what else, but it only boots to TWRP. That's it.
I also tried to return it to stock using these: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848 but it had errors connecting to servers and never installed anything.
I'm aware that I won't be able to recover anything on the device and that's fine! I just want to boot it with ANY ROM, and I'd be grateful for any help! Thanks!

TWRP for Sony XZ2c instead of Lineage Recovery?

Hi everyone
After some research, I can't find a succeful way to install TWRP recovery instead of Lineage stock recovery.
It's really embarasing because I'm currently setting up my brand new XZ2c compact to run the way I want it to on Lineage OS 17.1 with Magisk and Xposed modules, and I experienced 3 or 4 endless bootloop that led me to fully format my phone after bunch of hours setting it and tailoring it up... Huge waste of time, frustration overload, as you could expect. So, I really miss tremendous TWRP backup fonctionnality I used to run frequently on my old Z5c... :crying:
Does anyone here as figured out how to replace Lineage stock recovery on this device? Is so, I'd really to hear him out
Have a good week-end!

Thanks for your (minimalist) advice. Literally just lost 1 hour fixing the bootloop it just caused by following it, I'm delighted.
Behind my post, I was hoping to find someone who could explain a bit more the process of replacing/flashing/booting/(wateveryouwanti'mnotanexpert) a recovery, and at the same time avoiding me wasting more hours in bootlooping/formating/reinstalling. Hopefully, this time I succeed to came out of the bootloop without formating and reseting eveything, but I almost lost my nerves.
All of this is a bit cloudy for me, could you (or someone else that would give me a little of his time to) be pedagogue and explain clearly the whole proccess (and especially what you should avoid if you don't want to get stuck in a bootloop/getting scarying corrupted device message) ?
No one?

Wrong forum. Search in you device section.
Hi guys!
Today I tried again to install TWRP on my Sonyh Xperia XZ2C because LineageOS Recovery doesn't provide Nandroid backup, which is a shame.
I tried many ways described over the web, none of those worked, and I ended up with a boot loop at startup with that naughty message "your device is corrupted it cannot be trusted and will not boot". I can't boot to Lineage, neither to recovery. I'm stuck.
With device turned off, I can eventually press volume down, plug it to computer, access fastboot mode (blue led), flash+boot the LineageOSrecovery.img, then the device restart, Sony logo appears... and that's all, I'm stuck with logo in boot loop, and I can't go anywhere further.
I tried to change boot slot (without knowing if it could help with this problem at all) but I alway get "unknown option".
I'm panicking right now, I can't find any way out to this bootloop, if someone could help it will be sooo appreciated!
I tried hard to find a solution for 4 hours now, I'm completly stuck and I can't even sleep. That's why I finally reached out here.

In fastboot mode you should be able to flash stock rom
Is there any way to make the device boot on the Lineage partition without wiping everything?
For an unknown reason, I succed to boot on Lineage Recovery (not TWRP) this morning. I flashed LineageOs rom.zip using adb sideload. After rebooting, the recovery tolds me that I had to wipe everything because the system partition seems to be corrupted, so I did.
I'm a bit tired to lost everything since I made all of this to do Nandroid backups with TWRP........ but I have a fresh new install, my phone works again so it's fine.
But I still need to make Nandroid backups.
Kurtn, you seem to have skills and knowledge. As you can see, I didn't succeed to boot Twrp since october 2020. I don't see why it would be impossible with my device, I'm probably messing something somewhere.
Would you share your knowledge and help me booting/flashing TWRP without bricking everything again?

Btw.
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
DOES install the recovery, since it's permanently flashed. Don't know why they (lineage) didn't change that.

However @tomboudiboudi , you could boot twrp manually using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
With that, twrp should appear and ask for a password to decrypt your userdata partition.
If that works, you could try to flash boot this very same twrp.img. Maybe you need an additional twrp.zip too which will be sideloaded within twrp itself.
A note for you which might help: I wanted to update my lineage recovery manually using fastboot (older lineage recovery to newer one) and found that nothing (except fastboot) was booting at all after flashing this.
However, after dirty flashing lineageOS.zip, everything worked fine again.
Keep in mind that flashing a recovery will modify your boot.img. If this one doesn't work / is corrupt etc., your os won't boot up.

I fear you still haven't realized, what a/b means. The classic concept of having a recovery partition, where you can boot twrp at any time - doesn't apply.

You're right, there is no recovery partition.
As I said: Flashing a recovery.img will modify the boot.img.
