CWM does not detect my device - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, I'm kinda desperate on installing recoveries on my phone
I'm following this guide over here
USB debugging mode is turned on, but it is not detected on the shell/command window
when I checked my device manager, my device driver is not found, I tried installing flash tool drivers, but I dunno where to search for these drivers, so I followed the way in this thread
and I found 4 drivers in the list:
- Android ADB interface
- Sony ADB interface
- Sony Composite ADB interface
- Sony Fastboot Interface
tried all the ADB interface but still give same result so I uninstalled the driver back to the way it was
Please help me as I'm really newbie at this and I wanna try Stryflex ROM, thanks
Note:
1. I already unlocked my bootloader, but someone in here said to unlock bootloader first so I assume that it will end the same way as LB
2. The error I received from the command window is "device not found"
3. Phone version C3502
4. currently still using stock ROM with 12.1.A.1.207 firmware, rooted with towelroot
5. I unlock the bootloader using the step on sony site

Bump, pls help anyone?

I strongly advise for you to START with another way and also use TWRP as a default recovery. CWM (and inherently PhilZ) are very old unsupported recoveries.
If you insist, you might want to install DoomLord's driver pack and try again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830

Nope, this is my only device
Like i said, i cant install recoveries like what the tutorial above said because it's not detected
Hence i cannot proceed to other thing because of the fear of me failing to install cusrom
If i can install recoveries, i can backup (CMIIW) and it's at least reassuring me to do other things, this is my first time doing this so knowing nothing makes me confused and a bit terrified of I fail

the fastboot tools stated is the same fastboot tool used for unlocking the bootloader, am I right?
also do I need to put the img file on the same folder as the fastboot tools?

yes, and yes.
You can also point to the absolute path of the img file, but that would be complicated so copying would be easier. (welcome to the world of consoles (not the game consoles (command prompt)))

I need to sleep right now, hopefully i would able to reply to you in the next morning when i got enough information
Also, in the "hide" section of your previous post, there is nothing from inside..

firstly I do install TWRP according to your guide over there using fastboot tools
the one with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
then it shows message like this
http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=ivkcgknl.fyl.png
I then restart my device normally and it boots into recovery mode, in which then I make backup by selecting all the option to my external card, and proceed to reboot after it's done
it returns me to TWRP once again, and I reboot using "reboot system", it shows sony logo and then black screen for a few minutes, and I got sent back to TWRP once more, I've tried "reboot bootloader" menu too and the same result, I've repeat this for a lot of times and still same result pops out
sorry to bother you this late night and have a nice sleep

Oh i thought you were ready for flashing Stryflex!
Anyway the reason why it booted to the TWRP repeatedly is because of the reason that you flashed a recovery into the boot partition. Please re-read carefully the page that I linked you to
Anyway to boot back to your stock ROM, get yourself a "boot" stock component from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62447987&postcount=3
Flash it in the TWRP
sorry for the trouble.

Make sure you're booted into android... All it does is adb push the supersu.zip And walk you through the rest.
to be fair
I realized I sounded a little snide.. that wasn't my intention... The red triangle goes away by itself once you unplug the cable.. not sure why but it isnt a brick. one thing I realized on the github solution is you have to put those rootmaster files in the file where you keep your adb files.. (it doesn't mention that) I should also mention that your 1 click did install a recovery as it was supposed to.. thanks again

If you still have issues, copy and paste the file and go from there
sigh...YES BOOTLOADER.. after I got red triangle I redid root with the github solution and all went well. I'm rooted all is well.. I wasn't trying to point fingers I just posted what happened to me. I'm sure no one will get the red triangle just me...Good luck in your endeavors

In reality it should not matter IF the Shield is already in bootloader mode or not. the only thing it does by already being in android is make it a little easier for people by not needing to enter bootloader mode by hand. There are alot of good reason to know how to do just that. as far a writing a batch script to automate the process there are options that can be used to check if the device is in fastboot or booted to android. I don't have them memorized, and don't have time to look them up right now.

IF you are referring to the supersu.zip it does even need to be on the device to be installed. You can also use "adb push" in recovery, the catch here is if the device you push to is not mounted when pushing the file, the file will not be useable after it is mounted.
That is what the command "adb sideload" is for.
From the CWM main menu you go to install zip>install zip from sideload.
the command would be written in a batch file like this assuming the zip will be in the same folder as the batch script. "adb sideload supersu.zip"
If you are talking about the recovery is a better idea IMO to flash that from recovery.

hmm... Never thought of that. I'll just stick with my method, IMO it is simpler and I have already plastered ALL OVER to start booted into android, thanks so much for the feedback!
If you have any other suggestions don't hesitate to let me know
hmmm never been accused of being a troll. i realize I should have never posted this. Just to be clear. I wasn't in bootloader when it happened.I was in android. I did step 4..(install su.) when it was finished I went into recovery to check and got the red triangle I stated that it reverted and restarted by itself and I just went and rooted via a different method.( github joshdew vid ) I tried to say that I didn't blame the Op or his 1 click... that I was posting just what happened to ME and that it probably wouldn't happen to anyone else. I even apologized if I was snide in my first post. I have had many smartphones and have never had an issue rooting. Shield was my only hiccup and I started all of this asking for help.
Let me know how the kit is working!!!
PM me any suggestions you have, for new features or for a new Supported device!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

[Q] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Unresponsive

Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

you can flash twrp 2.6.3.3
download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?

no just flash the rom from twrp recovery then you can root it if you want.

I backed myself into a brick corner and need some guidance

New issue: Live support team helped me flash my device back to stock. And I resume my day.
Eventually notification notified me of an update downloaded and I agree to install, and then it bootlooped on me.
What luck. Anyway what should I do now, technically my system wasn't wiped like before so I should have more options right?
boot into fastboot and flash all the .img files (except persist and recovery) found here https://build.nethunter.com/misc/oneplus3T/partitions/
make sure the files are in the same folder adb is in

fastboot flash system system.img

Even if I had USB debugging turned off and no OS?

if you are in fastboot usb debugging is null. do boot and then system, don't worry about system sparse. boot and then system is the flashing order.

Do I assume dsp.img is another one I should ignore?
And: error: cannot load 'system.img'
Boot worked fine tho
Flash the stock recovery.img from that link. Then reboot into recovery. Select English, then Install from ADB. This will put you in ADB sideload. Then flash the full OTA zip by using the command adb sideload *name of the file*.

That sounds helpful but I'm not familiar with the commands.
But before I do, how sure are you will that work before I go for that? What I knew about flashing a new rom didn't help me due to an error, what nicksmizzle told me to do with flashing system in fastboot didn't work, what if tossing TWRP out the window and going back to stock just digs me even deeper in my hole?

It won't. The OTA's are made to be installed in stock recovery. You can check the OnePlus 3 community forums if you would like for more information. But installing the OTA on stock recovery is safe. And BTW, I have done it so I'm not just guessing or anything.

Here's a video to kind of give you an idea of what to do. It's not the greatest but it's short. You will have to fastboot flash the stock recovery image first as the video doesn't cover that.

I went ahead and did that, but when I went to ADB sideload, my computer wouldn't recognize the device

What OS are you on ?
The command "adb devices" should give a device number as return, if not you may need to install an adb-driver on Win-Systems.

Windows 7, but don't I already have the drivers if I was able to install twrp or reflash stock recovery?
Also I did a google search but all im getting are adb drivers for nexus. Is there a generic one I can use somewhere?

Well, when you are in adb sideload mode and the device is plugged in you should be able to see that in the Windows device manager. AFAIK the download mode (fastboot flashing) is different than adb mode and you may indeed need an adb-driver (just google it, its available quite easily on the web).
But before you do so: does "adb devices" return a device number ?

Nope, thats what I implied in the 1st post without saying so, I said I ad no adb, as in no adb communication between my device and pc. I didnt think adb worked without usb debugging turned on because before I even created the thread I did over the flashing guide I used to install TWRP. devices didn't give me the serial like it did yesterday when I flashed twrp.
and I searched adb sideload opeplus 3 drivers and its just giving me oneplus i isntalled that came with the phone. Unless theres something specific I need, then im probably going to google the wrong thing

Hmm, strange. Maybe you have a corrupt download ? Can you open the ZIP you downloaded in your first post with 7Zip or something alike ?
If the ZIP file seems fine (BTW, the one I downloaded has a MD5 checksum 0e2b4f9c7e7a1edf533f0d436ba48d95 - opens up OK for me but could not check flashing due to lack of OP3T ) it may help to follow along the instructions on factory resetting that can be found here. Just be careful, this is for OP3. #1 is already covered (given your downloaded ZIP is fine), #2 can be gotten from the link given in Post #2 in this thread.
Then you should hopefully have a clean basis to start from....
Cheers, Axel

Edit: Way to solve Problem:
Stive very thanks to my friend after a long time I fixed the phone. In order to do UNBRICK phone download this from link and than put phone into charge than connect phone to computer with usb and open "Flash tool" program than add “MT6757_Android_scatterr.txt” file than put it “Frimware Upgrade” than download and wait until it finished.

Became interested in this phone since I found a 6/128 model for 160$. If fastboot is failing (maybe because of the different partition size?) I'd go with SPFlashTool: if I remember well phone only need to be swithed off when you start downloading the image, therefore it goes well with bootloping if you choose the right moment

That's exactly what I'm saying: SPFlashTool doesn't require your phone to be in fastboot mode, only to be switched of when you plug it in. I had the same problem with an Archos Sense 55S after treying to root it. I wasn't able to enter neither fastboot or recovery mode, therefore I flashed the stock rom with SPFT

Which model are you using, the 6/64 or the 6/128?
For the former you can use a TWRP Backup done by @dreambo in order to restore at least the boot and and recovery partition
https://forum.xda-developers.com/maze-alpha/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-maze-alpha-x-t3740575
while for the latter a link in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/maze-alpha/development/original-rom-t3720714) is given ( eventually as soon as my phone arrives I can dump the image):

Hi ttl1982, before giving an answer I should know what are we talking about. Is it the same phone? And which version? What is the current situation (bootlooping into TWRP, bootlooping into Android)? Even assuming we're still talking about the Maze Alpha X, there are still too much variables!

I have Maze Alpha X 6/64 model. If “bootloader mode” doesnt open how can i install ‘twrp’ ? About Thread article i read everything but my only problem is my phone dont open “bootloader mode”. And only solution is stock rom i think than you need SPFlashTool to install it. Maybe you know better than me how can i install “twrp” without opening “bootloader mode” ? I wrote above why this happened.
I click Power and Vol+ buttons as i show in the video phone turn of but doesn’t open “bootloader mode”

No, even in the case you just want to boot into TWRP (and be able to use one of the backups provided in that post) you need to access fastboot mode. during bootlooping does your PC find the device with the "adb devices" command (namely, as soon as your phone boots up you'd spam this command via terminal)?

Hi, Thanks for your quick response. I will share some more info like you asked.
- Phone: Maze Alpha X
- Version: 6GB RAM/128GB Storage
- Current situation: It won't start at all (when connected to Windows PC i get the 'USB device not recognized' error, so it does see something)
My idea is the following:
- Install recovery with SPK flashtool
- Restore with backup (i have this from another thread) or the system dump.
The above does not work because i do not have the correct preloader file (so SPK flash tool does recognize the phone?).
ADB is not recognizing the phone, so it can't be done that way (as far as my knowledge goes).
I asked Maze several times to provide me the original rom but i get zero response, no matter on what channel i ask them.

Yes I was thinking the same. Eventually you do not need to install the recovery, restoring the bootloader should be enough: if the bootloader is already unlocked you can just boot into TWRP and from there restoring the backup previously copied into a SD card.

I'd suggest looking at this thread. Also, the screen telling you the bootloader is unlocked is normal, when you have a device that has it unlocked, you *always* see it when you boot up.

Follow this post. (Don't speak Spanish so have no idea what the above video is doing, can't help there).
Essentially, when you flash an image to a partition it doesn't belong in, you run the risk of overwriting into nearby partitions (because image is bigger than partition size). If you do that, then the only solution is what's in the post above. It basically restores the entire device using qfil. Because when you start overwriting partitions (and possibly the partition table), there's no way of knowing what is messed up and what isn't.

Follow this post. (Don't speak Spanish so have no idea what the above video is doing, can't help there).
Essentially, when you flash an image to a partition it doesn't belong in, you run the risk of overwriting into nearby partitions (because image is bigger than partition size). If you do that, then the only solution is what's in the post above. It basically restores the entire device using qfil. Because when you start overwriting partitions (and possibly the partition table), there's no way of knowing what is messed up and what isn't.

good that it worked. Follow this link and in the folder find boot_20n_magisk.img and use it (assuming you're on kor 20n), use qfil to flash it to boot_a and b.
It has both magisk and twrp in it. Remember, after flashing it in qfil (save original first of course), you need to hold vol - and pwr for a few seconds (until u hear windows chime meaning disconnect), to exit qfil.
But! and this is important, we don't want the device to boot, we want to go directly to recovery. So keep both buttons pressed but when LG logo appears, release pwr and then re-apply it, which then goes to recovery.
in recovery, u have to format data, then reboot recovery and flash dm_verity.

Thank you very much for your follow-up.
I succeeded in entering the twrp.
But I got screen asking password, there's default password or something?

There's no password, you just cancel out of that but be sure to do the 'swipe' to make it modifiable. The key after that is to format data, then reboot recovery and flash dm_verity, then encryption won't exist and no longer asked for pw.

Thank you so much for your help.
