[Q] Please help, I cannot flash CWM.

I've rooted using D00MLord's method, fine. But no matter how I try, I cannot flash CWM. Can anybody talk me through it step by step please?
I've come from a GSII and it was so simple, and now this.

you need adb drivers, usb 2.0 port...uknown sources and usb debug must be enabled and you need to grant SU permissions when asked. After that you can enter CWM by pressing vol - button several times after you turn it on

I cannot get it on my phone, I've followed the instructions perfectly yet it won't flash in flash mode. Doesn't flash in fastboot like it suggests either. When I try to flash in fastboot it says I need to be rooted first. I am.

To install cwm you don't put phone-in flash mode.
You need phone switched on,connect phone to PC,run the bat file on PC,follow on screen prompts,grant root/su permission,reboot phone cwm installed.

I assume you have unlocked your bootlader?
You can either go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2979149 or download it directly at http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/275. Choose the fastboot method at the bottom of the twrp website.

Thanks for your reply. I wanted to install cm12 to get a taste of lollipop. But i installed the ota that was captured for the xt1068 without root or unlocking my my bl. Ill wait for a while before trying this out. Maybe until the devs make cm12 more stable for our devices.

That would be my recommendation too, at least cm12 related. But you definitely should install twrp so you can make a full nandroid-backup of your device. Never underestimate the usefulness of a backup. You make a backup of stock-recovery and install twrp with Flashify. So you can go back to stock recovery if a new ota arrives.

Will surely have a look into it. Do you know if we could get a double tap to wake feature? I hope cm12 gets that.

No. It's a feature that has to be integrated into the kernel. You can read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57601888

anyways to backup everything? coz im not on a custom recovery already?

You can try the app Helium from playstore or you can make a backup with ADB,code would be:
adb backup -all -system
To restore the backup, connect your device via ADB and:
Code:
adb restore <filename.ab>

The path where your fastboot.exe resides

i seem to be doing something wrong over here.
I placed the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-titan in the folder where fastboot.exe and adb.exe reside.
my phone was in fastboot mode then i opened a cmd window in the folder where fastboot.exe is and typed "fastboot flash recovery" and i dragged openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-titan into the cmd window and hit enter. I got
getvar : partition-type:recovery
getvar : max-download-size
download : 00978000
flash : recovery
Then i scroll to recovery and all i get it bootloader unlocked warning and a blank screen. wonder what im missing.

also got a problem.
i got twrp flashed, but i can not make a backup. after that disappointment i checked the app and it says "it seems we cant write to sd card properly …"
they want to patch this. but i am afraid that i can not get ota after that. is there a disadvantage ?
i always thought flashing recovery through fastboot would make the job... so why can i not do a backup.
either to internal nor sd card
edit sorry .. i found the QA

Nexus 6 stuck on bootup

My nexus 6 is soft bricked I'm assuming, I can't get past the 6.0.1 boot up screen it just keeps on booting . The device is unlocked with TWRP recovery but not rooted as far as I know it's not rooted. The only way I can check MTP is through twrp but it's showing an exclmation point in device mgr. I'm in wugs toolkit now under Advanced Utilities, before I got the boot logo it had the you're device is corrupt. I fixed the corrupt message by putting my device in boot loader mode and in Advanced Utilities under fastboot flash then I clicked Boot [Kernel] I flashed the stock kernel and that got rid of the corrupt device warning screen. I'm gonna try flashing a modified boot img next but I'm having trouble. I just need someone to stick with me for awhile and help me fix this thing because I gotta return it and I don't have long.

If TWRP is installed there's no problem. Just a matter of the pc let recognize the device. Quit the toolkits though!
Do you have google drivers installed? Once they are installed your device should be recognized and you can copy any of the fine roms that can be found here.

Sent from my HTC6600LVW using Tapatalk

the corrupt device message is only there because you have twrp and a stock kernel. flash a custom kernel.

It's fixed, everything is running as it should no boot loops or corrupt screen, now I gotta check to see if recovery is gone. I used wugs to flash stock 6.0.1
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using Tapatalk

I used to have the corrupt message also, but it would go away and boot just fine. Started when I had TWRP. As someone mentioned, if this is a really annoyance, just flash a custom kernel . Though mine went away when I rooted with SuperSU (which patches the kernel I think)

I used wugs toolkit to flash back to complete stock it worked my device is running as normal, but when I power of the device and power it back on the corrupt message then disappears and boots right up. When I boot into boot loader mode and boot recovery it shows the green android robot laying down. After I flashed back to stock 6.0.1 it got rid of twrp and root but I'm still unlocked . The unlocked part I'm not worried about. In order to fix this do I have to 're root and flash twrp all over again or is there an easier way. I need step by step, on how to get rid of the corrupt message. Example, like when someone says flash img to me that's about as clear as mud.....

i believe that your bootloader is unlocked, thats why its showing up on a non rooted n6. you can lock your bootloader(i wouldnt, you can have problems later) or you can flash twrp recovery, then a custom kernel, and you dont need to root it for that.

a stock twrp flashable, then theres no zip version of it available. BUT twrp can also flash .img kernels as well. if you have the factory image available, you can unzip it and just flash the boot.img in twrp(or fastboot). but why the stock kernel?? if you just want stock, id recommend just fastboot flashing the boot.img from the factory image. boot.img is the kernel.

Unable to Unbrick phone

Hey guys,
My younger brother had TWRP installed on his OP3. Yesterday he applied OTA and his phone got bricked. I unbricked it from MSMtool method (Qualcom Driver). It got unbricked and i have stock rom now however phone is stuck at android is upgrading (45 minutes). I tried restarting it and now it is in boot loop. i tried to flash latest OxygenOS from adb sideload and it got bricked again. Can anyone tell me what to do now or what is wrong with the device.

You have TWRP installed? Use Method 2 of the unbrick guide. Now you want to wipe every partition then adb push your rom (not sideload) and manually flash it. Make sure you are on the latest Bluspark twrp.

Blu_spark twrp isn't decrypting data now

Well I knew TWRP couldn't decrypt so I installed blu_spark and everything was working just fine. Now I'm trying to restore back to OOS to get the newest open beta but of course I booted into recovery and it's locked again. Idk what to do, don't wanna reset because I don't have my computer with me to get anything back or use command prompt to do anything. Am I stuck?

If you're rooted then you can use terminal commands in the phone to flash recovery.
For example, if the recovery .img file is on the root of the internal storage (/sdcard) and its the latest official TWRP the commands would be:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.2.2-0-oneplus3.img of=/dev/block/sde21
Partition sde21 is the recovery partition.

Really think I might try that, just hope I don't brick lol

If you can still boot your os which I assume, and if you are root, you can just download twrp app from play store, flash your old recovery file (bluspark).
It worked as a charm for me

I've had issues like this in the past. The *fix* was a bit troublesome because it wiped all my data and there was no way around it, fortunately I backup my stuff on a computer regularly so that wasn't a problem for me.
Anyway, if you're still having trouble here is what worked for me.
1. Download stock recovery for the OP3T (http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3t.img)
2. Boot into fastboot
3. Flash the stock recovery img
4. reboot into recovery
5. Format your phone to factory
6. Download custom TWRP (This is what I use with Oreo and it works perfectly) - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595792
7. reboot phone into fastboot again
8. Flash the custom TWRP recovery
9. Reboot into recovery
You should be back in business. Hope this helps.

The latest version of TWRP (3.2.3-0) seems to have fixed decryption problems: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post77270858
