i have a symphony roar a50 (Bangladesh). it was running everything stock and updated with twrp 2.8.7.0 without root. bootloader was unlocked.
i was trying to root the device with the AIO from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro.../android-one-toolkit-unlocks-relocks-t3294448
the phone suddenly rebooted in the middle of the process and was stuck in a bootloop. i tried to factory reset it but it still didn't work. was still on boot loop.
then i tried to flash the appropriate stock firmware but that didn't help it wont boot. stuck on the boot logo for 1.5 hrs. then tried CM13 nightlies and the cyanpop roms. still nothing.
i am currently in a state of shock as this is a fairly a new phone and i am to travel to Chittagong in ~11 hours.
please help
don't you take a backup ?
and don't you wipe every thing before flashing the cm13 ?

yes i had a nandroid backup. but twrp says it is corrupt or some reason. and yes i wiped everything before cm13
downgrade twrp2.8.7 to 2.8.4.... 2.8.7 has problem with backup and recovery
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24389512218018336 twrp 2.8.8.x beta 3
btw this thread is wrong section
I too Had the same Problem once as I Tried Rooting My Android One through the same method as u did, So for fixing it I prefer that U FLASH The Stock MM ROM for Ur Device through STOCK Recovery ( Remember to Wipe Cache and Data b4 Flashing ) AND then ur Device mst be Fixed ( This method worked for me ) And Dude if u want to root Ur Device Follow This Method : -
1) FLASH TWRP RECOVERY
2) Reboot into Recovery and FLASH Thunderzap 5.1 Kernel through Recovery
3) Then FLASH SUPERSU ZIP from Recovery
4) Reboot And Done ! Ur Device is Rooted ! ?

6) DONE ! STOCK RECOVERY IS FLASHED and Remember to keep Stock Recovery img file in the ADB AND FASTBOOT FOLDER
Thanks I'll try this asap currently on a train..
Okay.. I've shipped it to the customer care. They said I'll have to wait 3 days for it to get back. I'll report back then.
Thank you everyone for your input.
Closed as this has run its course.

Hello, I have a HTC One phone, and had cyanogenmod 11. I started having problems like not syncing and stuff so i decided to full swipe my phone and flash the Android Revolution HD 51 rom. Tried several times to install the twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, and for all my stupidity ended up flashing the rom using clockwork 6.x
Now, my phone isn't turning on, I cant get to the recovery and I really don't know what to do anymore
Thanks for your help in advance.

Download the twrp recovery and rename to recovery and place in mini-sdk Or platform tool folder
Then connect your phone in fastboot mode ( power + vol down --> fastboot )
open platform tool Or mini-sdk command line and Type :-
fastboot flash recovery recovery(name of the recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
This will flash your twrp recovery.
Now go to recovery from bootloader and flash the ARHD 51.

omfg... the explaned that whole sh*t quite difficult^^
You should be able to understand that here(But i assume that you already installed adb and fastboot):
- Enter the bootloader and do the following
Code:
fastboot erase cache
- Now enter the recovery.. if you don't have a custom recovery download this one:
TWRP Openrecovery for HTC One m7ul
- Flash the recovery with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\path_to_recovery\recoveryname.img"
- Now enter the recovery...
- Proceed a full wipe in the recovery(including /system but excluding sdcard(where your photos etc. are stored))
- Move your rom.zip to your phone by executing the following command:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom.zip" /data/media/0/rom.zip
- Now flash the rom with the recovery
- Reboot

You need also to download MINI-sdk, (you can google it) and open a command window there to execute those commands.
It's nothing difficult but i understand that it can be tricky the first time.
When i open what ever .exe in the sdk-mini or platform tools it just seems to blink some cmd lines and close immediately..Tried typing this in the windows cmd and didnt work either..
EDIT: Ok, got it to work, erased the cache, but now when i try to flash the recovery it says "error:cannot load 'recovery': Unknown error
What am i missing?..Now I'm stuck without a phone><
I really don't feel like spending money repairing it for something as easy as this
I bought a nexus 6 on google play and I am on verizon. It is currently running 5.0 LNX07M.
Could some nice fellow please tell if if this is correct?
1. download wugfresh
2. download drivers
3. tick usb debug, oem unlock
4. unlock bootloader
5. flash no force encrypt
6. root
7. Trwp
8. Get Chroma/ or any other 5.1.1 rom and flash with gapps?
I'm espeically concerned if it is ok to unlock and root a 5.0 nexus 6 and then use twrp to flash a 5.1.1 rom. Should I first update the phone to 5.1 or something?
1. download and install adb/fastboot
2. boot into the bootloader and plug in via USB to your computer. depending on what your computer is running, it could download and install the driver by itself or you would have to.
3. fastboot OEM unlock unlocks the bootloader.
4. reboot and back into your bootloader.
5. flash twrp recovery
6. flash your custom kernel and SuperSU for root via twrp recovery.
7. only if you want to decrypt, format your storage. if not, just reboot.

Should I update my phone or is 5.0 ok for flashing the latest 5.1.1 rom?

if updating the official way, go to 5.1 then 5.1.1. but if updating via custom ROM, it doesnt matter, you can flash 5.1.1 over 5.0
IMHO,
1) download Android SDK or minimal fastboot and ADB or 15 second ADB and fastboot installer
2) connect to PC and reboot to bootloader
3) from command prompt:
fastboot devices
(Serial number shows up)
4) From command:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
5) Download the latest TWRP recovery for shamu
6) Boot back to bootloader and from command (having placed the TWRP image somewhere where fastboot can find it i.e. in platform tools in SDK) also rename it to twrp.img
Issue the command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Be careful to not have it list the file ext. twice. Windows names the file ext. by default. Example: twrp.img.img
After recovery flashes, from bootloader, use the volume keys to select recovery mode and press power. Your device will boot to TWRP.
Make a backup!
Next, download SuperSU zip and flash with TWRP.
Congratulations, you are now stock rooted and you can choose any ROM you like and flash with TWRP. Follow the instructions carefully from the ROM OP and profit.
It may look complicated but trust me, it's not. The longest process will be after you unlock the bootloader. Your device will wipe completely so backup anything you'd rather not lose forever.
Remember, a 32gb Nexus will take 10 to 15 minutes to wipe and reboot. A 64gb will take 20 minutes or more.
The benefit of doing it this way is you know exactly what is happening to your device, unlike a toolkit. Also, you just learned something! Plus, if you get stuck somewhere and end up soft bricked, you'll understand what and how when someone here tells you how to fix it.
Thank you guys for your responses ! I think my laziness is going to win me out this round so im going to use the toolkit. But next time, I will do the correct way!
Warning don't try this if you are new to rooting.. wait for more confirmation
I've successfully rooted my phone using these steps:
Download the TWRP recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/recovery-t3311601 credit @jemmini
Download SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-beta
Enable Developer Options
Enable OEM unlock
Enable USB Debugging
Reboot phone bootloader (adb reboot bootloader or vol up + power)
fastboot oem unlock
vol up to confirm unlock
your phone will ask you to reboot but vol up and vol down doesn't do anything. (other were having issue with boot looping here because of this..)
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img (the file downloaded in step 1)
fastboot reboot
while the phone is rebooting, press and hold vol up (this will launch TWRP recovery)
Optional: do not enable write access (for backup purpose)
select wipe, format data, type in yes (this fixes the boot looping issue -- credit @acotto)
now make a backup of your phone
Copy supersu.zip to your phone
install supersu.zip
To make TWRP recovery permanent: rename or delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p
reboot
your phone will take awhile to boot up since it has to rebuild all of your applications for the first time.
Edit:
I haven't figured out how to make TWRP permanent yet. Blu is restoring the stock recovery on reboot.
Thanks for the write up, looks really promising.
For those who need fastboot, I used this All in One to get it set up on my PC. I am running Windows 10 and it installed and worked just fine.
Followed the instructions above and achieved root. Thanks to OP for the great instructions.

Don't unlock bootloader, it's not needed.
For now, use recovery restore to original ROM, clear data/cache in recovery, then you should be able to boot.

Click the link, the solution is there. Generally, install TWRP, then restore from the image given.

Why won't this work?! I can't even load TWRR once. It always boots and then re-boots to the original recovery. Pushing volume up after flashing the twrr recovery doesn't go into recovery mode.

Is it okay to change or delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p before loading the recovery.img of TWRR??

I had twrp installed previously. But after installing lineage os 14.1(yuga) TWRP got replaced by some weird recovery. I've done it in this way, but it needs a pc, just ask a friend, it doesn't take much time.
1. install required fastboot drivers in pc.
2. boot the device into fastboot mode , pressing vol- down button and connect it to usb port of PC. the red led will turn into blue. It means the phone is in fastboot mode.
3. Open cmd in the directory where twrp-2.87+ is. boot temporarily in the recovery issuing command-
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-2.87.img
4. the phone will boot into twrp recovery.
5. Extract boot.img from your ROM's zip(lineage os in this case) and place it in internal storage
6. Place twrp-2.87[recovery] you want to install in internal storage as well
7. from recovery select install->install images
8. select boot.img and select *boot partition in the following screen.
9. similarly select recovery.img and select *recovery partition.
Follow the steps 8,9 sequentially otherwise it may cause problem.
Ok thank u. Your instructions helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Hello,
I tried the latest V11.0.6.0.QFAEUXM ROM but I didn't like it and so I booted into my TWRP recovery and restored the latest fullbackup I made from 2 days ago, then rebooted.
Now I'm stuck in Fastboot loop.
$ fastboot reboot
and
$ fastboot reboot recovery
... have literally no effect, still the phone is stuck in fastboot mode uppon restart.
I read in another thread "just use MiFlash tool and revert to stock rom, do everything all over to rescue your phone".
OK, fine. I start MiFlash, it asks me to unlock my phone... I click unlock. Nothing happens, I click again "try unlock again", then "no need to repeat unlock" appears, nothing happens, the usual menu with the options to flash or install TWRP are missing.
:good: really good! Just as expected. Very user friendly.
Now what?
I had twrp-3.3.1-37-cepheus-mauronofrio.img (SHA-1: A3230E7918A9E3D3D939AA8619B40E47A54F645D) as recovery and my ROM was xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V11.0.4.0.QFACNXM_5e64190eb9_v11-10.zip (SHA-1: 714BD02A5D52720C2733E2FDA9730EECE441AE09) before I tried to flash miui_CEPHEUSEEAGlobal_V11.0.6.0.QFAEUXM_1647340073_10.0.zip (SHA-1: BAC6307DA99F766E35A6EDBB0B74D02F73AD2782) and everything went downhill from there.
MiFlash version: miflash_unlock-en-3.5.719.27.zip
Is there more info I can provide?
EDIT / UPDATE:
I've been following the instructions from a Youtube video (links below) by the letter and now at least I'm back in a sane / stock ROM state where I can (have to) redo everything fromm the beginning.
Sources:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuAHNFjK--o
Instructions:
https://highonandroid.com/android-s...rick-unroot-xiaomi-android-stuck-on-fastboot/
Download site:

I chose "clean all" as flash method in that XiaomiMiFlash Tool.
It will reboot into Stock ROM, in my case I chose the EU version.
From there you can activate Developer Options & USB-Debugging again and you're set to go customizing again.

I tried:
$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-37-cepheus-mauronofrio.img
$ fastboot reboot recovery
It boots straight into Fastboot again.
I don't even know what to say at this point. I literally only wanted to restore a fullbackup. How can this possibly happen in the first place?
I'm really close to smashing this phone in 1000 pieces...

What I suggest you to do is flash the latest TWRP from Mauronofrio which is 3.3.1-52.
After successfully flashing the recovery, immediately press vol up + power button until it reboots.
Do not reboot using the command line or turn off your phone.
In TWRP, flash the xiaomi.eu ROM version that your backup is based on.
Then perform a restore from the backup that you had made.

Thanks, but I fixed it already.
As I described / updated in the OP there is a tool with which you can use some firmware roms in tgz format to flash over the fastboot state to get a "stock rom-ish" state back.
Once in the stock rom you have to go through the basic setup routine and then activate USB Debugging, then you can install TWRP, other Roms as per usual.
