Cannot enter into recovery; Suppressed ROM problem - no help given by its cook

Dear Xda'ers,
I am really desperate on the situation and need your help.
I tried every solution to get into recovery mod including SFT and others available, no luck in getting there.
The rom is working, so no bricked phone situation, problem is gapps terminates itself making email and other functions unreachable.
So I want to switch to either the official rom or another one which is in the forum.
Phone is roooted by the way.
Any suggestions?
PS. As put in the title, this roms cook told me that he cannot help me.

Hello.
If you just want to get into recovery mode, open terminal emulator.
Type
'su'
Allow it and type
'Reboot recovery'
Without '.
Works under cwm.
If this doesn't work.
Use smart flash tool.
(Quoted) ⬇
After flashing your phone should Boot into recovery.
Dont forget to do always a factory reset. If not -> bootloop

SmartFlash Tool completly erases device memory during flashing.
Phone will make Factory Reset at first boot after flashing!
You can upgrade and downgrade. You can downgrade from V20N too!
This also will remove phone lock if you forget unlock code or pattern. (phone lock, NOT simlock or network lock...)
This method doesn't need internet connection.
If you want to flash an LG P970H download correct ROM from link below.​
With this solution you can unbrick LG Optimus Black P970.
It fixes bootloop, "ERROR LG Security Team", and BSOD - blue screen with green writings (untested).
Only requirement is ability to enter in to S/W Update mode and not broken hardware.
Tested on: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, x64 and Windows XP Pro SP3.

You need to install LG Mobile drivers. They are located HERE. [CRC MD5: e4614071e72c0292d3a8238908b5c7ba]
1. Unpack SFT.rar that contains SmartFlash Tool program.
2. Unpack, preffered C: drive, firmware pack BIN_LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011_0.zip

5) choose COM port.

Used ALL mentioned so far, brought it three different service centres, they couldn't manage to get into recovery as well
Any creative ideas?

power up your phone, then press and hold vol down + home key and then also press and hold the power button until the phone restarts. then it should boot into recovery.

ok it seems there is also an other way to enter recovery:
on switched off phone (and only then!) press and hold G-key + volume up and then press power key.
it should boot straight into recovery.

Cant you push recovery through adb/fastboot?

Do you still have cwm and the custom ROM on your phone? If yes, simply download quickboot or rommanager from playstore and hit reboot recovery.

Hi guys,
Tried the two methods from DuffBoon and wash beer - no luck.
I think there is something wrong with gapps as it gives an error when I try to download smth from Google Play- so no option to load any new app.
I go into terminal emulator, input 'su' and have superuser rights, than punch 'reboot recovery', it reboots but no recovery at all.
My diagnosis is CWM and gapps is broken somewhat; SFT or another method is not working for that reason.

But your system is still working? There is an adb flashable cwm recovery from redy06 somewhere here. Google:
Xda cwm touch redy06
And youll probably find it. You can flash it with the device on. There also is a reboot recovery script in the pack, so you can check if it works or not.

Thanks, seems interesting - I will try it and see whether it works or not (currently on Mac)

[GUIDE]Rooting, Flashing Recovery, unlocking bootloader

This guide will teach you on how to unlock the bootloader, root the phone, and flash the recovery.
If you follow my steps no problem will occur.
Latest versions:
Single
D2004: 20.1.A.2.19
D2005: 20.1.A.2.19
Dual
D2104: 20.1.B.2.29
D2105: 20.1.B.2.29
TV
D2114: 20.1.B.2.30
All Latest Flashable Stock ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/development/rom-flashable-stock-roms-d200x-d210x-t3563358
1. Unlocking the bootloader
Now this one will be tricky. Some phones are force-locked which means It can't be unlocked.
However, If the phone's bootloader is simply locked, It can be unlocked easily.
Go to http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
And select Xperiaâ„¢ E1.
After that, enter a VALID E-mail address, this is where Sony will send you a link, which will look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click on "Click here to proceed"
Now something will look like this:
You need to enter your IMEI here, you can find the IMEI on Xperia E1's box, or in the Settings (Settings->About phone->Status)
Or simply typing *#06# on the phone keypad.
THERE'S NO TURNING BACK, YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY DOING THIS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
After 1-2 minutes a mail will appear in your E-mail, with a verification code.
Yay, we have a code! Now what's next?
We need to download Flashtool. (It's roughly 170mb)
Are you kidding me?!
Flashtool: (uploaded.to)
http://ul.to/7zmty1iv
Flashtool: (.torrent)
http://www.flashtool.net/torrents/flashtool-0.9.19.8-windows.exe.torrent
After It's downloaded, we need to install it. It will take about 4-5 minutes, depending on the PC.
Great! Now we have Flashtool installed. Now we need to unlock the bootloader.
Find and run Flashtool (Flashtool64 If you have a 64-bit OS)
It's great, isn't it?
Connect your phone to the PC, in flashmode mode.
How to do Fastboot mode? Turn off your Phone completely, while the cable is still on.
Wait for the phone, 'till It displays the battery progress.
Now hold the following buttons on the phone: POWER+VOLUME DOWN
Do this until the LED turns GREEN.
Great, the phone is now in Flashmode!
Now, click on the 2nd Icon on Flashtool "BLU"
After that
Paste the unlock code which Sony sent to you, and click on unlock.
You'll get bunch of errors but just ignore that.
Voila! Your phone's bootloader is now unlocked. Which means you can now flash recovery.
If you want to relock the Phone, the steps is the exact same, just click on relock.
2. Rooting the phone
Every phone can be rooted, but since the new updates It is hard to find a working root method. I'll show you both methods to root the phone.
1. Towelroot method
The following method only works on these Firmwares: 20.0.A.1.21(Jelly Bean 4.3), 20.1.A.0.47 (KitKat, 4.4.2)
Please check the firmware to make sure you have the correct Firmware (Settings/about phone)
If not SKIP this and check 3. Flashing Recovery tutorial on this topic!
First go to https://towelroot.com/ and tap on the Lambda logo, and install it!
Open towelroot and tap on "Make it ra1r"
If It says it is successful, go to Google Play and search & install SuperSU
Open the app and update It, If the app asks for It.
If you have Recovery installed choose TWRP, But If you don't have Recovery installed choose the other one.
The phone will restart now, and voila, your phone is rooted!
But wait a sec, what about those people who don't have those specific Firmwares?
Check 3. Flashing Recovery, It's mentioned there.
3. Flashing Recovery
With Recovery you can re-root your phone. This is good for newer Firmwares, which are no longer function with Towelroot.
Or you can backup your entire phone, just in case you are flashing other ROMs, or tweaking Android.
To flash Recovery, you need an unlocked bootloader.
You will need ADB, and the boot.img file for your Device. Make sure you download the correct kernel, or otherwise your phone won't boot! (It will boot, but bugs would occur)
ADB: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itVVFWRC02Q0VBQnc/view
PhilZ Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/general/philz-touch-recovery-xperia-e1-t2941831
TWRP Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/orig-development/kernel-falconss-custom-kernel-t3318209
Open up the Command Prompt (type CMD in Windows, and hit enter)
Navigate to the ADB folder, in this case, I copied the adb files to c:/, which the command would be cd c:/adb
Now, copy the boot.img you downloaded, and paste It to the adb folder
Turn off your Phone, connect your USB cable to the phone and PC, and turn on the phone with Fastboot mode (Power + Volume Up)
If the LED is BLUE then It is in fastboot mode
Now type in:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And voila, It's Done!
To enter the Recovery, Power + Volume Down, or just tap the WALKMAN button multiple times, when you feel a vibration you can stop pushing the buttons.
The recovery is the most useful utillity in Android, you can re-root your phone, backup your entire Android system, and so on!
Rooting the Phone with Recovery:
with PhilZ recovery:
Advanced->Re-Root System (SuperSU)
Restart your phone, and download SuperSU, and install It, when It asks for the update, just tap on TWRP, It will restart the phone in Recovery mode, and the root will be finally finished.
with TWRP recovery:
Download SuperSU on Google Play, and update Binary
When asked how to update the binary, just tap on TWRP
You will get root the next boot.
Modes on the Xperia E1:
With Cable (PC):
POWER + VOLUME UP (BLUE) (fastboot)
POWER + VOLUME DOWN (GREEN) (flash mode)
Without Cable:
POWER + VOLUME DOWN | PhilZ/TWRP Recovery (GREEN/ CYAN)
WALKMAN | PhilZ/TWRP Recovery (GREEN/ CYAN)
On newer CM/LineageOS builds you'll have to use POWER + VOLUME UP, as tapping the Walkman button no longer works!
Pictures for the tutorials will be included soon, It is for people who can't understand English (Or people who are not familiar with android), hope this will make things much easier.
If I helped you, please hit the THANKS button, It is free!

It might be that Flashtool does not support E1 100%. I never had any issues with re-unlocking the Bootloader, as I never tried it before.

Is this recovery more limited than original with unlocked BL ?

No, but you can't flash a custom kernel with this cwm on locked BL.

Suggestion on how to fix bootloader unlock problem after relocking with flashtool
NOTE: THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE DONE A TA BACKUP. ALWAYS DO A TA BACKUP BEFORE UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
In this case you should try to restore your TA Backup and you should be able to re-unlock the bootloader. The TA Partition is one of the parts that control the unlocking of the bootloader and the other being aboot, rpm, sbl1, tz, dbi.

Well, i already solved this issue by flashing this Relock bootloader with flashtool.
check your status now "Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status" If it says No("No" doesn't mean to stop you), you can try to unlock your bootloader again by flashtool refer to the first page, and check your rooting status again.

Firstly, install mediatek vcom drivers, don't use the add hardware option in device manager. Right click proper .inf file in explorer and click install, click continue with the installation on the warning prompt. If you are on Windows 8/8.1/10 search for how to install unsigned drivers and do the same. Then download the twrp package from this forum. It should have boot.img and recovery.img . Install with sp flash tool, select the scatter file from the folder and make sure both boot and recovery are ticked. Go to options ->download and make sure both checksums are ticked. SP flash tool dropdown menu should show download only. Click download/start/whatever and connect powered off phone with a good data cable. Flash should start and it'll finish soon. Now disconnect data cable, press both volume buttons firmly and press power button. Don't let go unless you see a Lenovo logo. It should boot into TWRP. You custom ROM may not boot but now you have TWRP.
Edit: Here is the TWRP link http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a7000/development/twrp-recovery-lenovo-a7000-mm-t3358436. Do NOT untick boot.img. If you can't get to recovery you must flash boot.img as well

Firstly, install mediatek vcom drivers, don't use the add hardware option in device manager. Right click proper .inf file in explorer and click install, click continue with the installation on the warning prompt. If you are on Windows 8/8.1/10 search for how to install unsigned drivers and do the same. Then download the twrp package from this forum. It should have boot.img and recovery.img . Install with sp flash tool, select the scatter file from the folder and make sure both boot and recovery are ticked. Go to options ->download and make sure both checksums are ticked. SP flash tool dropdown menu should show download only. Click download/start/whatever and connect powered off phone with a good data cable. Flash should start and it'll finish soon. Now disconnect data cable, press both volume buttons firmly and press power button. Don't let go unless you see a Lenovo logo. It should boot into TWRP. You custom ROM may not boot but now you have TWRP.

Hi i tried your way, but i got error error.
here is how i proceeded:
where i made a mistake?

There are two possibilities here,
1. Your phone is not really A7000, rather it is A7000 plus or turbo
2. The installed partitions are different enough that SP Flash tool refuses to flash it.
You can try to flash the stock rom S228 if you are sure it is lenovo A7000. If it again throws out same error and you are perfectly SURE it is lenovo a7000, you can try to format first and then flash the rom, although it is not recommended.

1.) I have lenovo a7000-a
2.) I also tried a7000-a stock firmware, but when i downloaded it via SPFlashTool, downloading stuck at Download DA 100% and then i get timeout.
EDIT:
it seems that, mobile is soft-bricked, without recovery.
But i can enter to META mode & FACTORY mode. I can Flash (via SPFlashTool) but it stucks at Download DA 100% (on red line).
Downloading stuck on this screen and then i get Timeout.

I also have Lenovo a7000-a. Tried flashing stocks roms (as per other thread) as stock ROM but still gets grey screen and white lines.
What ROM build number are you using. Can you share the link?
I just want to revert back to original (stock) ROM and make it work again.

Mi5 softbricked after removing default launcher. File recovery possible?

Hi,
I have removed default-launcher by accident, then i tried to install Mi Launcher from store, and everything was meh. After rebooting my phone, it stuck at recovery menu. After that, i updated the firmware using Mi Assistant, and nothing changed. I just want to backup my photos and files. I wasn't able to get any success with fastboot and adb either. Bootloader is locked, device is not rooted. Could you please help me?

Hi, so are you able to boot into recovery? In recovery, your computer could recognize the phone (in TWRP it does).

Yes it boots into stock recovery menu. I don't have a custom recovery installed, and i cannot install either because phone's bootloader is locked (which will wipe the all data including my images etc. if i do that). My USB-Debugging was enabled while the phone was on, but right now, I am unable performa any adb commands.

Ok, I see two possible solutions:
1. When you boot to stock recovery and connect your phone via USB, does it open on your PC as a drive? Could you extract files this way?
2. Are you able to install updates via stock recovery? (I had to ask, I didn't use stock recovery for years) If yes, you could theoretically flash an original Xiaomi ROM. Please see this article: https://bit.ly/39wTVmj

1. Yes it connects to pc but not as a media or drive, in sideload mode in adb. There is no way that i can make it force use that.
2. I am not able to install updates via stock recovery. It doesn't have option nor file explorer like the one that you posted. There are 3 options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Reboot (Regular reboot)
- Wipe (I would like to wipe cache partition but it doesn't give any information. The info on the net suggests that it factory resets the phone. So my data/photos will be gone)
- Connect with MiAssistant (In this mode PC detects the device in adb sideload)
The problem with MiAssistant is that it's no longer continued to be developed in English. So the latest version they provide on their website is not even recognising the device. However after some search I found some unofficial translations of Chinese Beta versions of this software. I have found v3.0.3301.134 and v4.0 versions. v4 crashed during installing stock rom (recovery.exe stopped working), however I was able to "Update" to the stock rom with v3 version using this guide.
After that nothing happened. It installed till 100%, and keeps rebooting. I am not even sure if it's installed correctly anymore. All i can think of is wiping cache, but that doesn't seem possible either.

In this case, I don't know. Maybe someone else will find solution.

I don't know if my solution will work or not, just try it if you don't have any other option.
Try it at your own risk, IT MIGHT HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
1: Download Miracle Box crack.
2: Install Mi 5 and Mi 5's fastboot driver.
3: Open Miracle Box and follow the screenshot I uploaded.
https://2.pik.vn/2020c57cbe0d-5f8e-4fae-b73b-7332da16e2b2.png
4: Tap the "Start button" and wait for miracle. Reboot to your phone, if it shows "unlocked" then it means the bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP. Launch TWRP then connect your phone to the PC and get the files back.
