Hello everyone, i am pretty bad at english so dont judge me becouse of this, and i am also noob here
So, i have problem. Why i cannot enter into recovery mode? I want to flash custom rom in my phone, i already have succesfully rooted with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873 and now i want custom rom, but i cant flash it becouse i cant enter in recovery mode, whats the problem? And another question, did i need unlocked bootloader for custom roms? What if i need it but i have already rooted? Did its big risk to unlock bootloader for already rooted phone? Sorry guys i am noob here, thanks for help!
First, did you install any recovery like CWM or TWRP or Phil...
on the page it talks about XZDualRecovery: you may choose any other if you prefer
if not there is no GUI based recovery in Sony Software and you need to install them separately.
Since you have already Rooted the Phone..
1. Start with This, go to the below link and backup your TA partition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
This backup is very important if you want to revert back to factory image so keep it safe. WITHOUT THIS BACKUP DO NOT UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
2. Only on successful backup of TA, think about unlocking your bootloader. from your dialer dial *#*#7378423#*#*, and check if you have "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes"
Unlocking the bootloader means you can install any of the ROM's available for your phone. If you don't want to unlock or cannot unlock then you may be restricted ROM's with Sony Kernels only.

I would love to be able to root, install clockwork and flash a custom ROM on this thing, but I see no mention of it in the development thread. Does any one have any idea's on modding this phone?
bootloader is not locked, its very easy to install recovery
you just have to paste new recovery in download mode (static rom partition, then you can root with any custom rom

Hello my friends i just want to ask you about an application that i just install to my HTC One m7.It's called Rasrh.
I'm thinking about to flash from this app TWRP touch recovery.
Should i do it?
If i do it i will lose all my data from my phone?
I don't want to use pc to flash custom recovery and I'm trying to find another solution.
Sorry for bad English.
I don't want to advertise anything.
Thanks for every help.
I use flashify, and it works great
Will it erase everything in my device of i install custom recovery with this program? Also I'm S-ON will i have a problem?
Flashing a custom recovery doesn't wipe any data, unlocking the bootloader will. Is your bootloader unlocked? It must be unlocked to flash a custom recovery, even if flashing from an app.
Oh i understand now.Now my bootloader is Tampered-Relocked so i will have to unlock it and erase everything.Thanks my friend.
suppose I unlock my bootloader, install custom recovery like TWRP and now, If I wish to RE LOCK my bootloader ( dont ask why), is it necessary to have the STOCK recovery installed before relocking or custom recovery will be fine?
Thanks.
Relocking the bootloader is NOT recommended. That said, you can and should keep TWRP if you choose to lock it.
Oh okay. I read somewhere that if you choose to re lock your bootloader you have to go FULL STOCK ( ROM + Recovery). I guess that might not be the case for nexus devices?
Relocking the bootloader will wipe your data, but it doesn't play cop and make sure everything is stock. All the bootloader does is pass off control of the device from the low level firmware that we cannot access to either the recovery or Android itself. Locking the bootloader only ensures that the possessor of the device cannot change the contents of the partitions from outside the device using ADB. A device with TWRP and a locked bootloader can still install custom ROMs, and possibly even root.
However, there is practically zero reason to ever lock the bootloader once unlocked, leaving people to wonder why you would want to.
I would like to install a custom ROM. But I really hate that screen when you first boot saying you have unlocked your phone blah blah. I would like to install a custom ROM with my boot loader unlocked. After it's up and running I want to re lock it so that message does not appear on boot. Also is it possible to disable the DM- verity check message as well when booting with a custom ROM? The goal is to have a custom ROM on the phone with no warning messages at all about anything.
That's not possible. To be able to re-lock you need a kernel that is signed for the locked bootloader which effectively makes it impossible to run any ROMs using any other kernel and recovery than stock OOS and also makes it quite a mess to update ROMs as you would have to unlock bootloader everyone to run TWRP and also unlocking and relocking also factory restores the phone everytime so you would lose all your data all the time. ?
It's possible to remove the DM message at boot. Look in the stickied Q&A thread for details.
Hi guys. I have few questions for you and would be happy and very grateful if you could answer and help me. First of all i have huawei P10 lite which i have bootloader unlocked it, installed twrp and also rooted. I also made backup of the stock rom with twrp. Now i want to restore my phone as new, i mean i want to get back to the stock rom which i made it with recovering but now how can i delete twrp and then lock bootloader? I saw that i have to use img file to delete twrp recovery - The model number is WAS-LX1 and the build number is WAS-LX1C432B124. I wasn't able to find this firmware and i am stuck now. Can i use other firmware for the model number WAS-LX1 or i will brick my phone? How to resolve this issue? I want to get back to stock.. Please help me..
Also is there any way to turn off the warning that says that the bootloader is unlocked and the device can not be trusted or just hide it? I tried to flash logo.bin file but it didn't work for me.
Thanks a lot guys.
Install recovery image from another firmware for WAS-LX1C432.
You can relock bootloader via fastboot using your code and the proper comand. This would get rid-off warning screen. All the info of firmware and oem info must coincide. Otherwise system won't boot unless you unlock the bootloader again.
