Another Firmware update issue.

Hey all,
Noobie question time! Did the firmware update (or so I think) and now I do have adb connection but not fastboot? or mounted sd card. (Did re-format and now it seems to be available). I messed something up along the way obviously, it looked very much finished after both adb and the phone were inactive for a minute or so.
Currently in what seems to be factory recovery?

What's next guys? I need twp and Venom update. *** Sideload option available didn't want twrp, because of not having fastboot?
Also showing:FILE/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip
File not found.
Thanks for all the help, I'd be useless with out you!

I found out that:
1. Android sdk must be installed.
2. Htc sync must be uninstalled but keep its drivers. (install then uninstall it, keep drivers option!).
3. Use twrp 2.9.0.1 (reboot recovery will not appear until you use this twrp) and supersu 2.65.
4. Do not sideload. Use Fastboot and adb. No matter what!.
Download mode is Fastboot commands. Recovery is adb commands.
When you get to the reboot to recovery bit, boot to bootloader with hold vol+& press power. "reboot recovery" should be halfway down the list in bright lime green font. Read carefully. I missed it first time and panicked.

Shivadow, do you have a link for that twrp I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for the info!

Update:
Got twrp 2.8 on. Won't take newer versions of venom, assuming they need 3.0.
I noticed that the error on the bottom of the device - 0PJAIMG.zip file not found on sd path is RUU related? If so should I try the ruu again as I might have a partial install??

0pjaimg is for flashing but in your case it'll do more damage than good.
You can get twrp 2.9.0.1 from the repo or various sites. Google is your friend.

Redmi N8P bootloop suggestions?

Hey all, so I'm desperate for some help, i was stupid enough to unlock my bootloader for my begonia redmi N8P (Miui 12.0.4.0_QGGEUXM), it went successful until I tried to install TWRP, I flashed TWRP.img and ever since I've been bootlooping, I searched the net everywhere to try and resolve this, flashed the same rom with MiFlash and it's either saying mismatched image/ device or fails on something else. Flashing any rom is failing. I have no recovery, just a flashing battery now but still able to get into fastboot.
I'm out of ideas but anyone who's experienced this issue and is willing to help would be much appreciated

Pixel 2XL, adb devices show no devices, no OS, TWRP installed

I've got myself into a bit of a pickle:
trying to install LineageOS on a Pixel 2XL.
I managed to delete the operating system
TWRP is installed and working
When I go to ADB sideload, and try to sideload Lineage, it fails with:
adb: sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found
adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...
adb: pre-KitKat sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
adb devices also doesn't show any devices connected
fastboot seems to work OK.
when in TWRP, Windows Device Manager doesn't show any device (including when ADB Sideload is active) and adb devices shows nothing connected
when rebooted into Bootloader, Windows Device Manager acknowledges the device as Android Device / Android Bootloader Interface
Is there any way to get this phone back up and running or did I bork it? Ideally with Lineage, but the stock Google ROM is fine too.

ADB isn't necessary to install a Custom ROM like LOS: this is done by means of Fastboot what TWRP ( you confirmed it's actually working ) internally runs - what of course requires that device's bootloader got unlocked beforehand.
1. Within the TWRP screen, head over to the Wipe section. Then tap on Advanced Wipe and select Dalvik/ART Cache, System, and Data from the menu. Do not select Internal Storage.

2. Then go back to the TWRP home screen, navigate to the downloaded custom ROM and perform a right swipe to flash it.
3. You may now finally reboot your device to the newly installed ROM. For that, head over to Reboot from TWRP and select System.

Thanks for your help. I wasn't able to do that because I didn't have the image on the device and there's no SD card for it.
I did manage to flash it back to stock ROM. In case it's useful to anyone, I did it via flash.android.com

I am having the same problem. I was able to install ProtonAOSP but it is not quite right. Android flash sight is awesome. I use it over and over.

Hello. I want to ask about entering the SkyHawk recovery, because the key combination, that You supplied only applies to injecting the Magisk to standard Android boot sequence. Pressing the "Power" + "Volume+" key yields the same results every time, leading to replaced "Stock" recovery. Can You explain this? Thank You.

To enter the SkyHawk, You have to do two steps
1- Press Power + Vol+
Then
2- on the yellow warning screen....... press vol+ for 2 sec and release and repeat this for 6 times

I just write here to thank you for this recovery so much!!! You saved me a lot of headache, got a TWRP bootloop after whatever stuff I did with the phone - been already prepared to go through all the long process of reinstalling Lineage from starting with going back to stock rom etc...

1 question: there is magisk, 25.2, I updated to 26.1, but I'm unable to root with patching the boot.img
.... but Just got to know what Ramdisk: NO does mean from this article:
How to root your Android smartphone: Google, OnePlus, Samsung, Xiaomi, and more
Rooting your phone is still possible — and fun — these days. Here's how to do it on your Android device.

-could you help me with getting root? I guess your guide might include it, but I'm a noob

Bugs
1. TWRP cannot decrypt userdata if you set lockscreen. (someone said it works, other it doesn't, so I'll just leave it here, YMMV)
2. Flashing anything shows many "unlock" red lines. (They are currently harmless by our knowledge).
3.USB-OTG
4. Saving settings​
Installation Instructions
Code:
If you have TWRP or any custom recovery installed and bootable, you can upgrade instead; Look below.
<!> the installation will require WIPING DATA. You will also lose access to all Knox-based solutions like Secure Folder.
Backup every precious data you have on your phone.
<!> PC is required. Windows is preferred. (You probably know what you are doing when using Linux/Heimdall. We don't talk about Macs)
Unlock Bootloader:
1. Go to Settings > About Phone > About Software. Tap build number (10 times) until "you are now a developer" toast shows up.
2. Go back, go to Developer Settings.
3. Turn on OEM unlock toggle.
4. Turn off your phone, hold vol-up + vol-down, then plug in charging cable (please don't use 3rd-party charging-only cable, it must have data transfer capability).
5. Your device will boot into download mode with a warning. Accept it.
6. Hold volume-up until the phone shows the bootloader unlock panel "Unlock Bootloader?".
Press volume-up again. Now your phone bootloader is unlocked.
<!> It will now begin the process of wiping data. Let it do its job.
7. When it reboots to OS, finish setting up your device.
8. Double check to make sure OEM Unlock is still ON.
 
Preparing for the installation:
1. Download everything above onto your PC.
2. Rename PBRP recovery img file to recovery.img and add it to archive using any archiver and select gnu tar.
3. Install Samsung USB Driver.
4. Open Odin.
5. Connect your phone to your PC. There should be a COM entry on the top.
6. Make sure your phone is in Download Mode. (see step 4 of section Unlock Bootloader)
7. Make sure that OEM LOCK and REACTIVATION LOCK on your screen show "OFF". If it's not off, DO NOT PROCEED ANY FURTHER.
<!> For those with lock ON, use your device for 7 days without rebooting once. Then check the locks above again.
‎  
 
Installing:
1. Ensure phone is in Download mode.
In Odin:
Load in Userdata: VBMeta_disabler.tar file.
Load in AP: PBRP TAR file.
2. Prepare yourself. keep your hand on Volume-up and Power button (don't press yet).
3. In Odin, press Start. It will flash, then reboot. When the screen turned off, quickly press Vol-up and Power button to boot to recovery (this should take about 20~30 seconds).
<!> You should have PBRP up and running now.  
 
Post-Installation:
MUST: Trigger Multi-disabler.
1. In PBRP, go to Terminal.
2. Type multidisabler, then enter. If it fails with something about vendor free space, run it again.
3. Run multidisabler again.
4. Go to main screen. go to Wipe > Format Data, type yes then swipe.
5. Reboot to Recovery. Now you can do other stuff.
 
Should: Backup all vital partitions:
1. In PBRP, go to Backup
2. Backup: EFS, Modem, NVRAM.
Enjoy: Reboot your phone to have a rooted stock, install custom stuff or do whatever you want.
Upgrade:
<!> Use when you already have any custom recovery installed (TWRP, SHRP, Ofox and the likes)
1. Download the recovery image.
2. Copy it to phone, then reboot to PBRP (Combo is Power + Volume-up)
3. Go: Install > select recovery.img file > select Recovery
4. Swipe to confirm flashing.
5. If success, reboot to recovery.
<!> You can also use Odin to upgrade, the steps similar to the Install section. All Post-installation, if already done, is unnecessary to do again.

For people wondering why this recovery takes a long time to boot.. its because our phone only has 32mb for recovery partition. So its impossible. The original builds were around 35MB. I had to resort to lzma compression which is slower. but hey atleast it boots
