Help!!
Hey friends I downloaded the spice dream uno stock firmware from a thread in the android dev section when I downloaded the zip file it was not opening..... I've downloaded the file about 3 times and it doesn't open... pls help me ....

You can just use the following commands...
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
You'll be out of boot loop. No need to flash another firmware.

u need to hav unlocked boot loader to flash ROM .
as the above guy said , u need to untick logo nd OEM ..and after unlocking boot loader type this command
fastboot -w
it formats user data

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that. You can do that by using the below command.
fastboot oem unlock
Then you have to press volume button to confirm. BTW I faced the same issue when I flashed to pure android one ROM. It makes the device more generic. Like a nexus with Google boot logo and bloatwares removed. You can try that. Links available in thebroodle.com post.

Did you find anything working?

Didn't get what you are saying

Ok
So anyone wanna try this
1. make a patched boot image using "twrp" apk
2. Sign it using
https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...ng-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606/amp/
3. Then flash it

You can use dd to flash first gain temp root using mtk su and then use
Code:
dd if=<your path to file> of=<destination>i
in this case your destination is mmcblk0p20 which is lk.bin and mmcblk0p21 which is lk2 and I m completely noob in this.this was my knowledge which I obtained while flashing twrp to my vibe k5 note it didn't work and I got red state warning so I extracted my lk.bin using
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/lk.bin
and replaced warning with zeros using hex editor then I flashed it using
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/lk.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20
And when I rebooted to recovery I got a useless brick in my hand and when I tried to flash firmware using sp flash tool it gave me some error Brom cmd start cmd fail but it was not 2005 that error was something else so forcibly I used formatall+download and lost IMEI and everything else and I recovered only IMEI,mac using meta tolls but not anything else because I don't know how to do it my fingerprint is also not working any solutions please and can you please say me where I was wrong and got my device bricked hope you find anything helpful in this and please help me

Problem in booting recovery
Hi
I have a Lenovo vive K5 note and I have installed TWRP custom recovery on it.
the installation was successful.
But after installing I am unable to boot in the TWRP recovery.
when I tried to boot using Power + volume up, the device took me to a Chinese version of the recovery.
there it started to do anything automatically. Like it makes a beep sound. (I think it checks the hardware )
Also when it tried to boot using PC, it took me to the stock recovery mode and not in the Twrp recovery.
NEED HELP ASAP!

Hello sir I think you were in meta mode or factory mode which makes beep, to go to that mode you need a usb did you plugged in your phone to usb not charging usb. And one more thing after turning off your device how did you manage to turn on it using pc and if you have properly replaced recovery the stock recovery would have got erased and you would not get it back

I flashed the recovery using this command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" . After the execution, I unplugged the device. Then I restarted it by Pressing the volumeup+Power keys. at that time the meta mode started. So, I pressed the power button for some seconds. Then my device turned on. (I didn't turned it on using PC)
I referred this website - extracatchy.net it has a page that has instructions for rooting lenovo vibe k5 note. I Only the section of flashing the recovery because I am not rooting the device. I would have pasted the link, but XDA forum is not allowing me to do so.
This is my first time doing this. I might have done something wrong. I followed the steps written in the website, exactly.

Ok but but the reason for meta mode was you didn't unplugg usb ,and you can't flash twrp or any other images unless you have unlocked bootloader and Lenovo Vibe k5 note has no bootloader unlock it gives an error unsupported project for unlock,so try to unlock bootloader first I know that it's not possible to do it using commands try editing modding lk.bin if you don't know that don't do it I have bricked my vibe k5 note once if your aim is to root using twrp then you can try mtksu bootless root using init.d method I m also using same method

You can flash twrp after gaining temp root using mtksu, and do you want that method,but it will not work because that lk bin will not leave you as it has verification I tried both twrp and patched magisk kernel

Maybe this could help you. BUT IS VERY RISKY

It's risky because if the ROM is not right it will mess up your phone completly.
Did you download it from the XDA thread, right?

I faced something like this...stock rom was not flashing...some error shows up... someone told me to change the fastboot rom file directory...i copied the rom to my desktop...thn it worked...i don't know if it would help...but why not give it a try

Thanks to everybody who gave their advice here. For me, it was a PC problem (or adb driver problem). I factory reset my PC cause I have cloud backup, and started the process clean. From there, I only downloaded Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Then I tried MiFlash, and the flashing process went through without any errors this time.

Hello,
I have the same problem, screen stuck on Fastboot.
It happened after having cleared up too much with TWRP.
I can't figure out how to flash back the original rom.
I see lot of tutorials and roms but nothing really clear.
I downloaded Mi Flash Pro.
Questions:
- Where can I find the last official rom for Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro / Redmi K20 Pro? (for European Union)
- How can I use Mi Flash Pro to re-install it back?
Thanks a lot for your help

So sp flash tool will lock your phone to engineer mode if it turns off follow this instruction:
prepare sp flash tools to only flash recovery (the one you want to boot into)
then click the download button to start flash
then wait for phone to get to boot( when image appears, before it gets to reboot plugin your phone to pc)
sp flash tools will flash then when done make sure you reboot to the custom recovery
then if you can access your system from recovery , look next to build.rop for recovery or rebootfromrecovery.p
copy the file somewhere
edit in notepad to clear everything, save it then use the edited one to overwrite

I am going to try the mtk bypass tool, is that going to work? if not i am going to try your instructions, however it did not boot into the recovery even after reflashing , i have tried that before with the twrp app
It cannot detect the device, it isnt in device manager either, i am getting scared
edit: actually it gets detected in device manager as "usb serial device (com4)" when i hold the power button, volume up and volume down at the same time, when i do that, the device stays with a black screen
SP flash tool still does not detect it
it seems to be disconnecting while in this state
Please help, i cant turn the device off

Certainly, mixing files from different miui versions, bricked your device.
You need to flash the correct miui version to fix the partition table.
And then, you can flash another miui version using fastboot.
