Root Tutorial

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.

As bad as I wanna root this, I'll be waiting for a backup stock rom just in case thanks for the info!!
Never mind I guess there is a stock rom but its too early for me.

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.

I have already given a big warning about this unlock bootloader, why didn't you read ?
Click the link, the solution is there. Generally, install TWRP, then restore from the image given.

Had tried kingroot,kingoroot and other root tools.

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??

What version of android is this working on? I'm on the latest

How do I get out of this bootloop?

was able to flash the twrp by renaming to recovery.img. but after fastboot reboot, even holding volume up it just reboots like normal?

what version of android should I have installed for this tutorial to work?

Can't access to TWRP anymore

Hello everyone,
so here is my configuration:
-latest TWRP (3.0.2) with F2S support
-bootloader unlocked
-the N6 is rooted
-ROM: AICP MM
2 days ago I tried to reboot to recovery to flash a more recent version of my AICP ROM. I just had the time to see the TWRP boot logo and then the phone rebooted to load the system. I can't access anymore to my recovery. I tried to rename the twrp directory on the internal SD but it does not change anything.
I reflashed TWRP with ADB and fastboot, but it didn't resolve the problem.
The only change I made recently was to flash a new radio to try to improve my connectivity.
I flashed 5.34 with the new bootloader in fastboot. Then I tried 5.32 without changing the bootloader and finally the 5.36 with the latest bootloader. So I don't know when the problem occured but now my phone even reboots randomly !
So if anyone has a solution you're welcome !

What happens when you connect the N6 to the PC and issue the fastboot boot recovery command?
Check your volume controls. They may be stuck.

Had this Problem on an other device . No recovery flash with fastboot . Dont no how , but Trwp manager APP from playstore did it .

you have to flash twrp right.. if you use a toolkit or flash the recovery with fastboot boot(instead of fastboot flash) then it will only boot into twrp 1 time, then you will need to flash it again if you want to use it again.

If I'm using "adb reboot recovery", the N6 is rebooting and load the recovery but I only see the TWRP boot logo. Then it's rebooting from the Google logo...
I've flashed the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but I've also tried with flashify and still the same problem !
In fact I think that's a problem which is related to the upgrade of the bootloader or the radio. I'm with the 71.21 bootloader which came with the latest radio (from the Android N images). Even with the previous bootloader the problem occured. So until which bootloader can I downgrade without bricking my phone ?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions !

yea, you can downgrade, but why? and why are you doing adb reboot recovery? you know that you can use a terminal emulator app on your phone and then reboot recovery using it? every custom rom should also have a reboot recovery option when pressing the power button as well.

I want to try to downgrade the bootloader because this problem occured just after changing it. I've not modified anything else.
I've tried with a terminal emulator, same symptoms.
If I'm using the reboot menu of AICP it's exactly the same behaviour. And that's the usual function I'm using to reboot to recovery. In fact all the commands are working, the N6 is rebooting to recovery but I just see the TWRP logo, then it reboots the phone to the google logo, then it starts the system...
Even if I'm launching recovery from the bootloader, I'm getting the same result.

sounds like you need to clear the recovery partition, then flash twrp again.

honestly, i dont remember how.

So here are my last attempts:
-I've tried to clean the cache with "fastboot erase cache", I thought it could be corrupted. BIG MISTAKE ! This time the phone is bootlooping when lauching the ROM...
And of course, I'm making some backups but they are on the "internal sd"... So I can't access my files anymore !
-I've also tried "fastboot erase recovery" and reflashed recovery. No improvement.
-I've downgraded the bootloader from 71.21 to 71.18. Nothing changed.
-I was asking myself if last time I didn't enter a wrong command in typing "fastboot flash boot bootloader.img" instead of "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img". So even if I've added benzocore on my AICP ROM, I decided to flash the boot.img from AICP zipfile on the boot partition (+ erase boot). So this time no more bootlooping of the ROM, because I'm stuck on the google logo :crying:...
I've never encounter such a desperate situation ! I don't even understand why I can't boot in recovery...
I could reflash a factory image on my phone, but this would erase all my datas !
Do you think I could reflash a factory image (except the data partition), just to be able to get a valid recovery, and access my files from the computer ? Then I could erase data partition, and reflash a new ROM ?
I don't want to precipitate the next actions because I don't have any joker... and with this stupid idea of not putting any µSD slot in most phones nowadays we're captive of the situation when the phone is bricked ! We can't recover data easily, even with adb pull (which does not work in my case of course).
So please share your ideas, they'll be welcome ! I've read A LOT of posts on XDA and others, but no solution until now....

TIBU to back up your data and then move the data on to PC. Use NRT WUG Fresh tool to flash MOB30M (stock, unroot) and then root/recovery and then start over. If you don't want encrypt then "format data" once in TWRP and then flash custom kernel like HellsCore to not force encrypt.

Don't use FlashAll, it's usually broken, anyway. But rather unpack the zip, flash boot and system. And either flash cache or erase it. It does the same.

TIBU for Titanium Backup ? How do you want I use this app since I don't have access to android, only to the bootloader ? You want me to install MOB30M without wiping the datas from my current rom, export the result and then wipe everything to make a clean install ?

If you can't backup your data via an app, then you're stuck to flash back to stock losing your info. You can move stuff from your "internal sd" and "data" partitions to your laptop by using fastboot command but I don't remember the exact command

Just looked it up. You can't backup your data via fastboot but you can using "adb" command. The problem is getting "adb" to work requires "USB Debugging" to be on and android working Thus, you're likely stuck losing your data.

Yeah unfortunately we can do it with adb (like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8650407/how-to-copy-selected-files-from-android-with-adb-pull) but not with fastboot. Tomorrow I'll try to flash each *.img from MOB30M separately and see if I can recover a working recovery to access to my datas ! Thanks for your answer btw.

Hello everyone !
So here are the last news...
I've tried an older TWRP like 2.8.x.x same problem.
I've flashed all the *.img from MOB30M except data, but my recovery was still not accessible !!!
So I was resigned to format my data and flash the *.img on it.
This time it worked, my N6 was coming back to life !!! Then I had to root it, flash the recovery, remove encryption and format data with F2FS !
I still don't understand how a corrupted (?) data partition could block the running of recovery, that's strange !
So now I have to restore the data from a TWRP image dated 04-16 I had on my NAS...I can tell you that in the future I won't let my recent backups only on internal storage !

Will you believe me if I tell you that the same problem is occuring again :crying: ?
Several days ago, it started when the impossibility to enter the recovery but this time it does not reboot in bootloader, just stuck... Now I got random reboots and stange behaviour from applications !
I NEVER had a serious problem like that with my N6 before. So I don't understand how can I get data corruption like this ? Last time I was using Benzo kernel, now DeYuS kernel but with no exceptional settings, no overclocking.
I've just disabled "forceencrypt" and convert data to F2FS (no problem before).
So does anyone have a clue about this problem ?

Trying to install TWRP on my Nexus 6 - keeps reverting back to stock recover

I have tried a number of times to install TWRP (unrooted) on my Nexus 6. I am following the instructions from here
https://twrp.me/devices/motorolanexus6.html
I am noting the warnings here
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
Once I issue the fastboot reboot command before the Nexus 6 shows anything on the display I press power and vol down and get into TWRP. It seems to what it's supposed to do (presumably patch the stock ROM) and then I reboot to Android.
But the next time I boot to recovery I end up with stock recovery again. I have tried this a number of times and while I can get TWRP installed it always reverts to stock recovery after the next restart.
Is there something else I have missed here in the instructions? They seem fairly clear.
Not that I think it matters but I am running 7.1.1 (flashed with the OTA image since I was not getting OTA updates)
Thanks

Instead of using the fastboot command to reboot to recovery after you have flashed TWRP do it manually. Been a while but I believe that should work.

Dont use the fastboot reboot command, use the volume keys to enter twrp recovery after flashing twrp in fastboot mode
Once you are in twrp swipe to allow changes and if needed change twrp settings, after that reboot into rom.

I have done that several times. This is the screen I see when TWRP is loading for the first time.
Not sure if those red messages are fatal or not
When I am in TWRP I can reboot to recovery and it gets back to TWRP but if I reboot to system and then try to enter TWRP on a reboot (holding power and volume up/down it boots into the Fastboot and when I choose Recovery mode I send up with stock recovery again.

Am running 7.1.1 myself and flashed the latest TWRP 3.1.1-0
Were did you download the twrp img from? I download mine from https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/ Once i downloaaded it i rename it to recovery.img
I use cmd on laptop andhook up the phone, then run adb reboot bootloader followed by fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then i use the volume keys to get into twrp, swipe to allow changes and make changes to settings. Then reboot into rom.

That is pretty much what I have been doing. The only difference is, the first time I did this (before I realised it wasn't working), I rebooted from adb and I did see the swipe to allow changes. But since then if I boot from abd or boot from the bootloader, I don't see the TWRP option to swipe to allow changes anymore.
I wonder if it's because the data is encrypted (standard on a N6?)

I checked the box to not show the swipe to allow modification. I have never decrypted my phone and twrp sticks. So not sure why yours isnt sticking.

Well the first time I did it I saw that message about allow modification and I agreed. Never seen it again.
The point of installing TWRP was to install a custom ROM. I wonder if I load the ROM image into the phone first, install TWRP and get into the first time, which I can, then install the ROM would that work?

After using fastboot to flash TWRP, use the volume and power buttons​ to boot into TWRP, and allow modifications, then make a backup and reboot system. Go back to recovery and if all is well, then flash your ROM. Make sure you've got your TWRP issue fixed first though.

The same thing keeps happening to me. I can't seem to make twrp stick. I'd really appreciate some help.

Depending on what your doing, typically you have to manually boot into recovery after flashing twrp (from fastboot), don't use fastboot reboot xxxx. Use the power/volume key combo to reboot. Then accept either system modification or flash a systemless root solution. This will enable custom recovery to "stick". Otherwise, stock android will overwrite recovery on boot.
The TWRP thread has discussions about this. Starting at post 1044 should help.

Is your device encrypted before you flash TWRP?

Yes it is encrypted.
Anyway, I tried all the various methods and combinations but ended up going back to stock recovery. What worked was flashing SU after TWRP.
I'm running pure nexus now and enjoying it.

Redmi 4X bootloop after installing TWRP?

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hii
I just have been reading about this bootloop
Go over here and read all of the 6 pages..will not take much time but could help you out much
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/official-twrp-3-2-1-0-xiaomi-redmi-4x-t3718217

Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.

I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.

Question How do i get Stock recovery to not replace TWRP when rebooting???

Tried a bunch of things to make the TWRP installation persistent, but it just goes back to MIUI recovery when i reboot from the system.
I'm using TWRP 3.5.2 by Nebrassy.
USB debugging turned on
Correct drivers installed
fastboot devices work Using minimal ADB and fastboot
I have the file renamed as TWRP.img.
Steps i followed:
fastboot boot "TWRP.img" - Correctly boots into TWRP
install the TWRP image to the recovery partition - Happens with no errors
Reboot to system - No errors there as well
Reboot to recovery - Goes back to MIUI recovery.
Can someone please tell me what i should do?
PS: Tried with TWRP 3.6.0 as well just now. Same issue.

Try again to flash TWRP dirty and if it's started don't boot with software. You have to boot TWRP again by pressing volume + and power button until you'll get vibration , afterwards you'll be in TWRP again, clear dalvik and cache and restart system via TWRP menu

Sorry mate that didn't work. Still going back to stock recovery...

Since i didn't find a solution to make the installation presistant, i went ahead and flashed Elixir with the temporarily booted TWRP. Then wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the TWRP image, formatted data and then rebooted. Now it works.
Edit: This method did something to my recovery. I can boot to system and recovery fine but TWRP isn't able to mount the data partition. So i'm not able to flash anything or root the device anymore.
I tried formatting data, no luck.
Then tried repairing the data partition. No luck.
Changed the file system to EX2 and then EX4... Nothing.
Anyone know a solution for this?

Would that re-lock the bootloader? And if so do i have to wait 7 more days for it to be unlocked?

I used the Disable-Dm-Verity-Zip directly in TWRP after installation. Worked without a problem.

I read that somewhere too but that didn't help me at all... Maybe i have a bad zip file..
Can you share the zip you flashed?
Also, any idea how i could get this fixed:

1. With MiFlash there is an option at the bottom of the screen to lock bootloader. Just make sure it is NOT checked, and you will be safe to use MiFlash without relocking bootloader.
2. When installing TWRP for first time, it is essential that your first reboot is straight back to TWRP - then it becomes persistent, and future reboots to recovery will be to TWRP. If you do not do the first reboot back to TWRP, the stock MIUI ROM recovery reinstalls itself.

The first ever twrp install i did, i rebooted to system by mistake but i reflashed twrp and made sure to reboot to recovery.... That was the second try. I think i may have tried at least two dozen times since that but it just kept booting back to stock recovery...
I think I'll run with this until the end of Jan and then redo everything from scratch...
