[solved] TWRP install ends with a black screen - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

I want to install a Custom Rom to my A2 Lite. I did all the prerequisites and tried to install in fastboot on Windows the TWRP-Img to my A2-lite.
C:\Users\marcel\platform-tools>fastboot boot "C:\Users\marcel\platform-tools\twrp-3.5.2_9-2-daisy-unofficial.img"
Sending 'boot.img' (28724 KB) OKAY [ 0.614s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.170s]

After image was copied and the phone reboots, it doesn't start to TWRP. The display is on, but stay black.
I booted in fastboot and tried it again, but the same issue. I used the "format usedata and format cache" before.
I can start in the stock rom, but not in TWRP.
What can I do?

"download mode" means fastboot-mode, so volume-down and power button, right?
I do this, but same issue. After sending the image file with fastboot command (above) the phone reboots and stucks.

yes sorry, i meant fastboot mode, turn off phone and then boot with up or down wolume (cant remember wich one) + power
thats a long time i didnt use but i remember that booting on boot.img didint work when i entered the mode with pluging the cable,
i always need to turn off phone, then turn on into fastboot mode, and then plug it
also it worked with adb reboot bootloader command
found my previous message about it, it helped the person asking, hope you too :

[Q] boot into fastboot

When I start my P6 the Huawei Logo shows up shortly, but then the screen turns black. (The phone is still on)
When I try to shut it down, it always restarting and stucking at the same point.
Is there a way to force the p6 into fastboot? (I want to flash the orginal recovery)
Holding the VolumeDownButton and connecting the wire may should work, but therefor the P6 has to be off.
Can anybody help me?
Infos about my BRICK:
My phone had the Chinese B120 Firmware and was rooted.
I booted into Recovery over TouchRecoveryInstaller-v1_01.apk
There I flashed:
1. TWRP_Recovery_R03.1.zip,
2. EMUI2.3V100R001C00B014EDGE-U00-Beta.zip (Created out of UPDATE.APP)
I thought that the firmware may has overwritten TWRP, so I flashed TWRP again.
At this moment my P6 froze.

Try rebooting holding Vol up + Vol down + Power for 10+ seconds. This should send you to the stock recovery to flash the dload/UPDATE.APP

I tried this, but the recovery seems to be destroyed too.
The phone switched off over night.
I tried to connect it to my pc while holding VolDown.
I'm not sure if it worked. Now my phone shows the "Huawei Ascend"-logo all the time and the LED is blinking red.
My pc recognized my phone as "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface",
but I can't find it using ADB:
C:\Users\Mixer\Desktop\android_tools\adb>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Then you are already in fastboot mode...
From there use:
fastboot devices - You should see your device strangely named with a lot of signs.. Don't worry, it means your phone is there and recognized...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - this will flash stock recovery to the phone and after completed do:
fastboot reboot
Make sure you have fastboot.exe and stock "recovery.img" in the same folder as adb.exe
If you need stock 4.2 recovery you can get it here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973876
Just unpack and extract recovery.img...
Once the recovery is installed you can get into it by the 3 button combo...

So anyone have a solution for my problem. please I really need your help!
Sorry for my bad english
Hi,
I had this when I went to wipe my system cache and it failed. Your best bet, especially if you can't get into recovery is to fastboot flash the recovery again if you have an unlocked bootloader.
If you don't you'll want to unlcok the bootloader and follow the instructions for using ADB if you're new to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596

If you hold volume down and power, it should go to bootloader first, then you have your choices for recovery....Get it to the bootloader screen, then run the commands to unlock it...
Could you please tell me everything step by step on how to cure my phone?
I'm very noob.
okay thank you.
I can start it now
THANKS!!!!!!!
p.s. i use fastboot erase cache code

Glad you have it working...It seems that wiping the system cache can be problematic at times - Perhaps it's a bug.

Hey I'm having the same problem, how'd you get the computer to recognize that the phone was plugged in? My computer does not recognize that the phone is on when I have the flashing error screen, so ADB doesn't recognize that there is a device connected.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem, and I managed to boot up again thanks to you!
What I did :
Install ADB and Drivers
Boot my phone into Fastboot (Power+Volume Up at boot, keeping VolumeUp button pressed while booting). Don't go into any menu (do not select recovery or so). At this point your computer should recognize your Android phone when you plug it in through USB.
Open up a cmd with admin rights, navigate to adb install path by typing : cd C:\adb
Then type : fastboot erase cache
It should trigger an action on your device, and the prompt should display sth like "Cache successfully erased" (I don't remember exactly)
Finally type : fastboot reboot, press volume up while booting again, and access Recovery like usual!
Now you can try wiping your partition cache again.
Worked like a charm for me! Thanks a lot

Stuck on "erasing" during factory reset, can't boot into recovery.

So I decided to do a factory reset, erase all data. During the process, it got stuck on "erasing". Left it overnight, for NINE HOURS, still stuck.
I can boot into fastboot mode, but I CAN'T GO INTO RECOVERY MODE. When I select "recovery mode" (by choosing the option with volume keys and then selecting with power button), it just boots back into the "erasing" dialog.
I've installed the driver from Intel, but I can't get ADB to recognize my device. Does it have to be in recovery mode to recognize the device, or should it recognize in just fastboot mode?
Kind of at a loss here. Honestly, this kind of sounds like the dreaded Nexus 7 brick problem from earlier this year.
P.S. am I using the correct vocabulary here? Fastboot is the menu where you choose the boot method, and recovery mode is where you can choose to restore to factory settings or flash a new image?
EDIT: IT FIXED ITSELF. I just had to let it sit for like 15 hours. It's ridiculous that it took that long.

Haha whaaaat? 14? That's crazy. I might try it though, I'm running out of options. I'm trying to clear the bootloader cache and reflash the firmware via fastboot, but I keep getting "FAILED" messages that say I don't have permission. I can't do **** with this phone right now.

The same happened to me. In htcmania (an Spanish web like xda) there's a tutorial that worked for me:
ht tp://w ww.htcmania. com/showthread. php?t=1028393 (erase the spaces)
You don't have to follow all the steps. Just run the indicated cwm bat, wipe cache and reboot. It worked for me and without losing any data. I hope it helps you. If you have any question about the language, send me a message.
The solution for the OP and me was to simply wait it out. As LiquidPlacidity said, it can take over 12 hours for this to complete, it seems to take longer the more data you have on the device. OP messaged me saying it took them 12 hours, as LiquidPlacidity said it took them 14 hours, and for me it took a total of 22 hours to complete. My device was nearly full, but this is unforgivable on the part of Asus, they really need to fix this.
This happened to me I flashed recovery.img stock firmware recovery I downgraded to unlock bootloader then tried it again and it done it in 10mins
Just an update for anybody that finds this thread: I just had to let it sit for a stupidly long time. Like, maybe fifteen hours. I found somebody else that had to let it sit for 22 hours.
Any update to this problem !

I bought an Asus phone same like you and the same problem is happening ! USB debugging < I satule you
Solution found !
I've found a solution for this problem
All you need to find is a same device which is normal or BUY a new one ! OR BEG,Borrow, or steal from a friend
Find a asus zenfone 2 from a friend and enable usb debugging
Download intel driver
Just google it
Download Abd driver installer from the link bellow
Just google it
Just enable the usb debugging mode from the phone which you found
Open the adb driver intaller and fetch the abd driver directly from the installer for your asus phone
After that, download the following adb interface
Google it like " Abd interface for asus fastboot"
Then, extract the file , hold shift and right click the folder you will see a option in cmd option
Click that and a cmd window will be opened
Turn off your phone
Hold volume up and power button
After the phone vibrates realease from power button and keep holding volume up button
Boot loader will open and press volume up until you see "continue in fastboot mode"
Keep it the mode and connect your device to pc
It will directly intstall usb driver and adb driver after that
Just go back to your pc and type "fastboot format cache" and the process will continue
You will know when the process is over from the cmd in your pc
After that reboot your phone and you will still see the error
Click power and volume up button and the recovery mode will apear
Just wipe your data and every thing is going to be ALRIGHT
It is turning off after 10 minutes, how can I make it to 15 hours if it is turning off.. ?
have the same problem with my device too... i removed my battery once because i couldnt boot into recovery mode without turning it off...but its still in the erasing screen...will removing the battery cause any problem?
It's actually helps

Same happened to me, but i found the way to fix it quickly. First of all i have find out that to properly wipe zenfone 2 , you have to firs wipe it from android software by going to Settings - Backup & reset - Factory data reset, and then wipe it from recovery menu and it will wipe it with normal speed it still will take 10-15 minutes but it's not 22 damn hours!!!
SO, The thing is that you still can get in fastboot mode and if you'll connect device to PC it will detect it. To get in fastboot you have to turn off your device(to do that you need to hold button "volume up" + "power" button, hold them untill phone is turned off,while you doing that the phone must be disconnectet from PC or it woun't turn off) then you press and hold "volume up" button and press and hold "power" button untill you feel the double vibrating and then you gonna let go the "power" button but still hold "volume up" button and then the menu will apear on the screen, you are in fastboot mode.
At this moment i'm sure that you have all Android (and official asus)drivers installed and all platfom-tools installed so i'm not gonna tell how to install it and i'm expecting that you know how to use platform-tools.
So... you go to cmd and from there to adb(usualy you do it by typing: cd c:\adb ) make sure that fastboot.exe is in adb folder, if not then download fastboot.exe and copy it in adb folder, then you type : ' fastboot devices' to see if PC deteced device you'll get 'F4AZFG04X560 fastboot' and it means that device is detected, then you type :
- ' fastboot format cache' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase userdata -w' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase system' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase recovery' wait till it's done
By doing all of these commands you're kind of doing factory reset by yourself.
Then you put recovery.img(recovery.img from OTA "older" than you had... if you had 165 then you take 164 or 139, or even OTA 97, it worked for me fine) and last firmware, for zenfone2 (from official asus site) in folder with adb and rename firware to 'update.zip' then run cmd from this folder and you can check if PC detected your device, by using command ' fastboot devices' and you'll see something like 'F4AZFG04X560 fastdoot' than you type command: ' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' than you'll see :
" C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16384 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.684s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.506s]
finished. total time: 1.193s'
then you choose recovery menu, by pressing "volume down" button, then phone boots it recovery mode and you see little droidbot "error", then you press and hold "power" button and press "volume up" button apears recovery menu, choose "apply update from adb", device is still connected to PC(if not, connect it), type in adb : ' adb sideload update.zip' wait till it's done(about 20-30 mitutes you'll see load in cmd)when it's done choose reboot in recovery menu... that's all.
P.S. sorry for my English it's not my native language.

Now what should i do to make it quick?

Turn off device and follow by steps o described
what i do when the phone stuck on erasing :
1. At least wait for 30 minutes and make sure you have 60%+ battery before resetting or erasing the phone.
2. Turn off by pressing power till the phone turn off
3. Go to recovery mode by pressing volume + and power button together, and then select recovery by pressing volume + or volume -, the press power button to confirm it.
4. Done. It will continue erasing, but it just take 1-2 minutes then the phone will reboot.
I'm just sharing what i have done when this happen. If something happen to your phone, don't blame me

Hi, im having different issue than what was originally posted, but thought to give it a try the steps you described.
my problem is that my son forgot his pin code on the phone and has not a secondary method to unlock it, so i knew that i can just do a hard reset thru recovery mode and will be ok. but when i access to recovery mode only shows 3 options -reboot system -update via adb and -update via sd card. and is not showing the wipe/erase data option.
so i tried to follow your steps here all was good until writing on command
'fastboot erase recovery'
this is what i get back :
erasing 'recovery' ...
FAILED (remote: unable to format)
finished. total time : 0.891s
what can i do? either to continue with your steps or to do the hard reset on the phone?
thanks for any response

Somebody else said it took 22 hours. So as ridiculous as it sounds, I think you should keep waiting. Try not to interrupt the process by restarting, we're not sure if it picks up where it left off.
If you don't have a backup phone or can't stand waiting, I would check to see if it's still under warranty and maybe do an RMA. You could just buy a phone with a 30 day return policy and just return it if this phone finally starts working again.
Hi
I have the same problem. It has been 28 Hours!

Then you put recovery.img(recovery.img from OTA "older" than you had... if you had 165 then you take 164 or 139, or even OTA 97, it worked for me fine) and last firmware, for zenfone2 (from official asus site) in folder with adb and rename firware to 'update.zip' then run cmd from this folder and you can check if PC detected your device, by using command ' fastboot devices' and you'll see something like 'F4AZFG04X560 fastdoot' than you type command: ' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' than you'll see :
" C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then you choose recovery menu, by pressing "volume down" button, then phone boots it recovery mode and you see little droidbot "error", then you press and hold "power" button and press "volume up" button apears recovery menu, choose "apply update from adb", device is still connected to PC(if not, connect it), type in adb : ' adb sideload update.zip' wait till it's done(about 20-30 mitutes you'll see load in cmd)when it's done choose reboot in recovery menu... that's all.
P.S. sorry for my English it's not my native language.

Oppo Find 7 V1.2.8i Won't boot into TWRP recovery after booting into stock recovery

long story short, incase any of these are the reason why my phone can't get twrp recovery.
History:
Around 3-4 months ago I updated my phone to Color os 2.0.8i(if not mistaken). Not sure if I did root my phone or not. My phone screen broke, and touch screen spoiled, not using it until I repaired it few days ago. After repair decided to use CM13 and took me awhile to figure out how to flash TWRP and took me quite sometime to root my phone. After successfully rooting my phone, I started to install CM13 snapshot bcos i tot the nightly is not stable. But it failed. My phone can't turn on and can't go to recovery. Keeps boot to fastboot. Figured out i need to use some code like fastboot oem unlock(can't really rmb if this was the code I used) then flash my recovery again and my recovery works. But my phone still can't turn on. I use TWRP recovery to flash the same rom again to see if it works this time, but no it doesn't. i think i did try the CM13 nightly rom but it doesn't work too so i searched a lot about how to install CM13 on Find7. This link(http://forum.xda-developers.com/fin...0-marshmallow-unofficial-cm13-oppo-7-t3227311) said that Color OS 2 &2.1 needs to flash Color OS 1.2.8 and i did it. I did not flash the stock recovery. I use fastboot boot stockrecovery.img. Then, I install the stock rom using the stock recovery. The link says let it boot, and after that reboot back to TWRP recovery. After successfully booting into Color OS 1.2.8i, I switch off my phone and press down button + power button but the stock recovery came out. From that onwards i keep trying to flash TWRP recovery to my phone but it failed. I used fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and press volume down button + power button, fastboot boot twrp.img, fastboot erase recovery and fasboot flash recovery twrp.img and fastboot boot twrp.img all that doesn't work even the cmd said okay twice. All it does just either boot up the oppo logo and turn back off and turn on again with the logo and turn on the phone normally. OR it just boot up the stock recovery. I have read it some where that some stock rom will overwrite the custom recovery with its stock recovery so needs to delete some recovery file and edit the updater script. I did it and try to install the rom again after editing, but it failed. I tried installing another 1.2 color os(without editing the inside hoping this rom doesn't have the ability to overwrite the custom recovery) it did tried to install but up to about 40% of the loading bar, it says fail. I tried many times, I even factory reset my phone and try installing again but TWRP just can't be booted.
Problem:
- I can't get to TWRP recovery.
- Without TWRP I can't install custom rom or root my phone
Please help me. I have wasted about 4 days time just to install the CM13...

You forgot fastboot oem unlock. Also not all twrp versions work. Try and see. Recap: fastboot erase cache, fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flash recovery followed by twrp. img. After that press and hold power and volume down simultaneously and you should be in twrp.

Okay. Last one. Since you have unlocked bootloader i. e. Fastboot oem unlock, try using flashify from play to install twrp and see if that works. Try a few versions of twrp.
Edit. Go back to stock recovery first and start again. Good luck.

Yes, so you have a working recovery. Check that it is installed first. Then fastboot erase cache and fastboot oem unlock. Reboot, download flashify and flash twrp. img and then try to enter recovery.

Oh, and by the way, CM 13 not compatible with our LCD screen. Omni supports new screen. Read before flashing rom. If not you'll have more problems.
There's a snapshot CM 13 for new LCD in oppo forum. The links are dead but if you ask someone there, they might upload. I've erased mine. Again, there's some requirements there, so read up.

LG G7 - Fastboot bootloop [SOLVED]

After trying to flash Pie my G7 stuck in fastboot mode. Download mode is unavailable so I not can reset the stock ROM.
After it reboots it boots into only to fastboot mode and is stuck in a loop now.
An even bigger problem is that now the bootloader is locked and the unlock.bin file can not unlock the bootloader.
ADB mode is not working!
DOWNLOAD mode is not working!
SYSTEM mod does not work!
There is only FASTBOOT mode that is in the loop
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had the very same problem as OP. I tried to install pie with LGUP (G710EM20b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0508.kdz) but ended in fastboot loop.
After whole night of trying different things (being a noob means less sleep) I managed to run the phone in download mode. Starting from there I was able to install my previous rom. Both failed update and rescue operations were done on Win 10.

- Solutions for G6 for going into download mode. The download mode icon was displayed for a second and then going to fastboot again.
- LG Flash Tool 2014 - I just followed a guide for older phones but it didn't work. Didn't try again.

Quoting the post
At first, you'll need a working fastboot environment, you'll find out how to set it up on your own. Then you'll need the laf.img, I can upload mine if you want or I could help you extracting one out of a kdz file. Put the laf.img in the same folder like your fastboot.exe, then hold shift and right click, then click on "open command panel here" or however it's called in English. Type "fastboot flash laf laf.img" (Edit: It would probably better to use "fastboot boot laf.img" instead because of the bootloader lock). If that works, you at least have a working download mode.

2. I used LG_Firmware_Extract_v1.2.6.1 and extracted dz file from aforementioned pie file. The I extracted two laf files for the kz file. In my case they were: laf.img_180534 and laf.img_81990.
3. I took one of these files (sry, don't remember which one, but they have the same size - didn't check if they're the same) renamed it to laf.img and put a folder where fastboot.exe is.
4. I did
Code:
fastboot boot laf.img
and voila: the phone was in download mode!
5. After that LGUP the previous rom and the phone is working again. Here I needed few tries. At first the were some problems, then I tried different combinations (1.14, 1.15, w/ and w/o uppercut). I think LGUP 1.15 (1.14 with patch) did the work. I was able to "refurbish" the phone.
Hope it's useful for others. If anyone could prepare a guide from this description or/and tell why it worked - please feel free to do so.
I think I will wait some time before trying pie again

I recall I also had some error msg, it could've been the same. Now I don't remember what I exactly did next as most my actions were more or less random. Either I tried the same command but with other laf.img file (from the rom I used before), or I tried to restart the phone into download mode (vol- and power together and then vol+ after screen goes black) or tried the same file again.
Hope it helps.

Check if the phone is recognized in LG Bridge. If so, then choose update error recovery from software update tab. Again, I don't remember if it worked immediately or did I need to reinstall drivers and/or choose a proper driver in device manager (generic ADB vs LG...) and/or restart the phone.

Based on other threads, e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903 and https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/axd17d/lg_g6_eu_glh870_bricked_after_update_your_device/
try:
install the LG Bridge updater software on a computer, go to updates, click the "correct update errors" button. Then plug in your turned-off phone while holding down the volume up button. It should switch to download mode and reinstall all software from the PC. Yes, this will erase all data but it should unbrick your phone (unless the hardware's broken I guess)
