Xperia SP - TWRP Recovery problem

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway, to the point. I rooted a Xperia SP with towelroot, checked with rootchecker and it was okay, after that I installed CWM and then flashed a ROM and probably CWM changed to TWRP with the ROM. Then I ran some debloater script the ROM maker had done and forgot to flash gapps (lol), or more like debloater script made the phone to reboot, so I let my phone to reboot and try to go back to TWRP and it just doesn't work... Touches won't get recognized. Also I just noticed that the root is gone. Looking for some help here now. Not so used to this stuff.
Things I've tried:
root again with towelroot, didn't work
flash gapps, didn't work
try to install recovery.img again with adb, didn't work(I just may aswell not know how to use adb anyway)
Ask if more information is needed. Thanks! Hope someone could help me.

1.You should have posted this in Q&A section
2.Never use towel root on lollipop because all ROMs are rooted by default.
To enable root Settings->Developer options->Root access->Apps and ADB
3.Dont try debloater script just yet. Use it when you are settled with ROM working.
4.Now what you need to do is
a.Boot into recovery and flash the latest TWRP zip.
b.Reboot into TWRP and wipe everything(data,cache,system but not external)
c.Flash ROM zip and gapps.
Hope this works:good:

I can boot into recovery but it won't recognize touches so I cannot navigate to anywhere in TWRP. Also where to find latest TWRP zip for Xperia SP, since I am looking at TWRP homepage and there is no 2.8.7.0 for Xperia SP. Otherwise it sounds like I learned something new

Here, use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp-f2fs-support-xperia-sp-huashan-t3150230
Please remove the previous TWRP beforehand. If you are not sure on how to do so, can you attach me a link of where you followed the methods?

Since you said TWRP does not recognize touches. Here I present you 2 solutions:
1.Flash stock ftf and start over.
2.Flash FOTA and then flash tangerine kernel with TWRP recovery support via fastboot (v6.3 because newer versions cant be flashed using Fastboot)

6.6 is the last version that contains the elf AFAIK, they should have kept one on cubeserver.eu

Doogee X5 - TWRP install

Hi,
I'm having a problem installing TWRP on my doogee X5, in order to root the device. I have tried to flash the recovery with sp flash tool, and every time I try, I can boot to the boot mode menu, select "recovery" and see the doogee logo for a while, then a black screen, then the doogee logo again, following into a normal boot.
This is the X5, not the X5 pro.
firmware on phone: "DOOGEE-X5-B-Android5.1-2016.03.18"
Any help?
PS: I don't want to use kingroot to root the phone, as I also want xposed.

I'm looking for a solution to that very problem too. Let's see if someone comes to help!

Exactly the same goes here too. Probably there's not an updated TWRP for V18 which I am using. I have not the slightest idea who could help us.

Rooting Doogee X5 / TWRP install
Here's what worked for me, thought I'd share this.
Out of the box was on version 18 and wanted to root , so i blindly installed King Root which did work, i then installed Supeer SU me which changed the king root to super user. After that over a week i read that TWRP 3.0.2 worked for one person so using Flashify i flashed the recovery image , after changing it to recovery.img and it worked . Such luck right, i went on to read the forums as im in love with this device , Wakefield helpful was NEEDROM.com , you need to register but there are many roms and tools for mediatek 6580soc . Out of curiosity i downloaded some rar. File roms ACS different fish tools. The best to use if you've only got oneX5 is SP flash tool. Also look for mediatek vcom drivers which auto installs the correct drivers. There are easy to follow you tube videos fur flashing using SP Flash tool. The latest version had been updated for simplicity. the process basically is ( load .bin file in its respective area,( from Flash tool) and load scatter.txt in its box ( from rar. File) the whole interface will polemist populate plug go to format hit start plug in turned off phone without battery, it'll give red then yellow bar and a check, then unplug hi to firmware screen and choose to start dload only except bootloader, start , plug wait for coloured bars and check your done. i even had gotten errors due to a faulty dload and repeated the process till i got it. I understand that not all have the patience for this, therefore i suggest using flash tool of king root messes up though that's rare.
An alternative to supersu me is to root with king root then install twrp with flashify then you can uninstall / repack king root and flash Updateroot.Script available by someone on needrom. That includes super user and busy box. Then installxposed. Etc.
* Each process in the above proven tuturial has been obtained online from other sites not just xda. I've chosen 5.1 as an idealOS for me, I can't say the route to take fur Marshmallow.
This is for -b and non b only version 18, and 19. All others take your own chances but it's resilient chip so have fun.

(SOLVED just flash DOOGEE-X5-HOT2-6.0.zip and the twrp from the rom is installed and works after rebooting in recovery mode.) after flashing CWM recovery
Listed: 10/28/2016 11:16 pm
ROM Version: 6.0 / 5.1 to my doogeex5 (flashing succeed) i got an green android logo with an error sighn(see picture)and some chinese letters...
in normal boot no problem,also upgrading to android 6 (flashed) gave no problem...
how to get new recovery(flashing other recovery`s gave same output exept the chinese sighns disapeard)
kingroot V4.80 couldnt root my doogeex5 after 27%rooting it says cant root device
also doesnt the system update in `my device` recognice the memory card ...no sd card inserted...
any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Unlocking the boot loader works fine, but i can't seem to find a working twrp file for my phone.
I have an X5 pro (x5pro-android5.1-r17-2015.07.01). I tried different twrp recoverys from needrom and i can flash them to the device, but if i try to boot into recovery i only get the robot with the red warning triangle. Rest of the phone works fine, but i'd like to get a working custom recovery.
Can anyone help me?

So i rooted my phone with kingroot and i wanted to install a custom recovery without breaking the device how should i move next ? My X5 is an old motherboard version android 5.1 V15-2015.11.02 and that was the last official fota update for me. Is there any ofgicial upgrade suitable for my model like android 6.0 ? Two more things. My battery goes down rapidly and i dont know if its battery or chargers problem what should i do ?

http://www.needrom.com/category/doogee/serial-x-doogee/x5-doogee/
even without rooted phone you can flash a lot of roms from above link and read how to

Yeah i noticed this site man but says you need to register first. And one more thing spft always detects scatter files as invalid or maybe not legal even from the official site of doogee. I use the spft from doogeemobile site.

I am using SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Linux_v5.1520.00.100 with ubuntu(linux) maybe try an other flashtool edition,registering needrom is simple just making username and make a password when you are registered take the inifix hot 2.6.0 for the x5 flash it and you have got also a TWRP from wich you can root or install also the .zip roms etc.
I mentioned the inifix hot2.6.0 because that was the one i had succes even with a bricked recovery caused by flashing a cwm recovery without rooting first.

Well i just want for sure make a backup of my current rom without wiping it. I guess the infinit will delete all. Plus i also want to install recovery having rooted it 1st which is easy i think on 5.1. I have the one with the old motherboard not the -b. To sum up i want to install the official updated rom V20 via sd (which i tried and didnt work) luckily it didnt brick or via spft which doesnt load scatter file says is not valid no matter if i use latest or older version of spft in order to flash it manually. Its risky to root and install a recovery by an apk without having my rom backed up 1st. And even with the spft i cant do that. I just want to fix my battery status. Thats all. I use xp pro os.

indeed it is hard to install android 5.1 roms on the doogee x5with a twrp,al the 5.1 roms i could flash,but then i bricked the recovery,wich made no differend for the installed 5.1 roms,they just work.i can only install a working twrp by flashing Infinix Hot 2 6.0,wich is a 6.0 rom,but as far as i know you cant install a 5.1 rom with a 6.0 twrp... error 7.

Thats why we will end this discussion for now and wait for future solutions. Thx for your concern man. I just dont want to brick it since it runs smoothly with 5.1. As i said before i wanted to install the latest (official stock) V20 rom recently released. But i cant do it even from the tutorial that exists on their forum. It's a use of spft but i cant manage to do it. Scatter file always invalid.V20 Rom fixes some bugs and displays your interface like on 6.0 android version. We talk mate.

Hello !

Help?

Having tried to install TWRP it is rejected
Having downloaded twrp_x5max.img from needrom and used the adp method of installing the TWRP.img (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/). I get the following error message. "writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed".
So How do I get the TWRP img loaded into the Doogee X5Max (not pro) android with marshmallow?
I have tried using SP FlashTool and it says installed successfully, but I still get the default recovery program, after the dead robot with triangle and a exclamation mark inside, when booting into recovery using keys or adb command.
Is there another way of getting this image file loaded into the recovery partition?
I have followed all the set up steps in developers mode, so why cannot I use adb?

Flash Custom Recovery & Root

I saw so many videos and tutorials and guides that i'm getting stupid.
But i didn't understand much for this device owned by GF.
I'm using my Nexus 6 as daily use and mod it is so simple that is like drink a water glass. But it was the same for my old S3, my Moto G, Moto X+1, HTC One mini, and Asus Zenfone 2. For this Xperia Z i don't understand many things like:
1) Unlock the Bootloader: ok i found the code con Sony Mobile and i know how to use it with cmd prompt terminal (more or less same way as my Nexus 6)
2) Flash TWRP: HOW CAN I FLASH IT?? There are more or less 5/6 guides, all different from the others. Anyone that can EXPLAIN the RIGHT way to flash the last version of TWRP? Can't i just use the cmd after the unlocking process like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" as all the other smartphone i ever had in my life?
3) It is so necessary have the root before the custom recovery? Because i just want to flash a custom ROM and like i did with my N6 after flash the recovery i neither rebooted the phone.
4) Flashtool is really important to do things? Can't i just use the cmd?
Why these Xperia Z thread are so confusing?
Anyone with really clear ideas to help me,
thanks

Forgot to mention that she is all stock with Android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.228. IDK if it is helpful

It is supposed to work. Never mind. Did you try other supersu.zip files? Coz sometimes these packages may also be corrupt.
In case if you are not successful try this tool called lenovo k3 note manager..

Just want to share whoever got problem flashing s433 on A7000-a, make sure download correct file on the thread and carefully read the instruction. If your platform are marshmallow, do flash boot image via twrp (flash image, not flash zip). My step from dead A7000-a to K50a40 :-
1. Use SP Flash (v5.1540.00.000) to flash K50a40_S422_160315_ROW( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/C9th/nvAqozUua )
2. Follow this step ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66229157&postcount=4187 )
When the procedure done/finish( OK GREEN TICK ). Turn on ypur device normally, put this file on SD Card ( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CNTk/6..._ROW_TO_K50a40_S424_160328_ROW_WC655382B6.zip ) to update s422 to s424 or do it OTA.
Now you should get K50a440 s424 on your device.
Done all this step...... will have notification to update s424 to s427... then s427 to s433, all this i done through OTA( or you can search for update.zip and put in SD )
TO ROOTED s433
1. Follow this step ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-...3-note-k50-t3158522/post66156802#post66156802 ), make sure all necessary file are downloaded and place on SD Card( read carefully the step )

Option for XL3 Plus - Install TWRP w locked bootloader

I've been searching and searching for a way to root my l Vivo XL3Plu and so far have only come up with instructions to install TWRP With qualcom flash software - the instructions replace the recovery.img in the Stock ROM file with the TWRP.img and the flash the phone. We don't have the stock ROM but I think I found a clone that might work (wiko XL plus) I've downloaded all the required files to test this. As I only have one phone to try it on I can't afford to fail. So I'm asking if anyone who has already bricked their phone would want to try this method of restoring functionality back to their phone and have TWRP installed..as wel as maybe be able to install Magisk and root it too. Pease contact me and I will upload and send link to so you can give it a go. (all files,drivers,software, and instructions zipped - 1.99 Gb)
