Hi everyone,
My Xperia V LT25i cannot enter TWRP recovery mode.
I tried (VolDwn + Pwr) and (VolUp + Pwr) when it's off.
I also tried (adb reboot recovery) and (Boot to Recovery option in QuickReboot App) when it's on.
No luck entering TWRP.
The LED blinked in white for an instance then the phone just went on a normal booting.
This looks like a simple silly question but I have seriously dug into all the similar threads I can find and still no solutions.
Current status of my phone:
Model: LT25i
Android Ver.: 4.3
Firmware: 9.2.A.0.295
Bootloader unlocked: YES (checked by *#*#7378423#*#*)
Rooted: YES (rooted by towelroot and checked by Root Checker Basic)
TWRP installed: YES (flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-tsubasa.img into my phone using App Install Method)
The status of TWRP is not checked since I am not sure whether there's a way to do so.
I opened the app, made a recovery.img and saw it there under my sdcard folder (this means that TWRP is normally functioning right?).
My phone is in extremely good health, not bricked.
I just wanted to try the fantastic ROM StryFlex™ Marshmallow for Xperia V,
following the instructions step by step and got stuck at TWRP.
Please help and thanks for your time reading this thread
if it works like my Xperia Z you can try to put your Xperia T on fastboot. Then rename the TWRP.img to boot.img.
Then in plat-form tools folder open the terminal and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". After that "fastboot reboot". After that the phone reboots automatically into TWRP

Hello,
Thanks for replying.
This method works perfectly. The device booted into TWRP.
But now I am facing the question that it wouldn't boot back to system @@.
Am I suppose to do the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command again and flash back normal boot.img? (If yes, where can I find one?)
Or did I mess something up while flashing StryFlex™ ROM in TWRP?
Thanks for your time reading this thread!
It seems the default bootloader of this phone doesn't support entering recovery by press volumn button. Pressing volumn buttons on powering up is only functional when the phone is connected to PC, moreover, vol up+power will boot into fastboot mode, vol down+power will boot into flashmode which works with flashtool.

if you are using stock rom, you should do the following steps to enter twrp:
1. Get flashtool ready on PC, and the drivers for your phone;
2. Connect your phone to PC;
3. Power up your phone by pressing vol up+power button to enter into fastboot mode;
4. In flashtool, flash twrp.img with fastboot flash mode;
5. reboot your phone, and it will boot into twrp;
6. when you want to get back to android, pull the kernel.sin out from FTF corresponds to your rom, and flash it in the same way while flashing twrp.img;
7. reboot your phone.

Be sure to download the right type of TWRP that supports booting system after you flash your custom ROM. Mine for example lets me flash Stryflex and after is automatically replaced by the standard one but nothing affects the stability of the ROM.
So you should check on TWRP official site the recovery, rename it into "boot.img", flash it though cmd and then restart in recovery. Do a clean flash (check also the repartition of data), flash ROM + Gapps and then reboot.
It works on my Xperia Z and also another Xperia T from a friend

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 ?

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 ! ?

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.
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.

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.

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?

You have flashed a recovery image to your boot partition, so it always boots to recovery. You need to flash a boot image to the boot partition.
But why do you want recovery if you won't flash anything to your phone?
By flashing recovery, you are doing exactly that anyway.
You have an unlocked bootloader, so you may as well flash an advanced stock kernel. It is stock kernel with twrp built into the boot.img. Check android development section.
thank you
since i know that i can't boot recovery without flashing, i have no other option as to flash.
can't i flash it to FOTA partition?
i have 10.7.A.0.222 firmware and need root access but like to do it manually
You can't boot directly to FOTA on XZ. Need modified boot.img or flash twrp to boot (like you did before). Then while in TWRP, flash Supersu.zip to get root. Afterwards flash kernel only in flashtool to get stock boot back

Is your bootloader unlocked?
Hey Guys,
I just decided to install Twrp 3.0.2-2 and root my XT1092,
I have been facing issue right after flashing twrp, i select Recovery option in bootloader. Which just shuts down my phone.
After that i try to access recovery by booting into fastboot mode which again gives me a shutdown.
Later i discovered i could access stock recovery when my device is booted into the official mm rom. "adb reboot recovery"
Please help me guys. I tried fxz'ing and retrying the whole process. with different methods to no avail.
i even tried just rooting by only booting recovery "fastboot boot recovery.img" which again gives me a blank screen.
Any help would be really appreciated.

So you put the phone in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img
Then you use only the volume rocker to select recovery (not the power button).
If the phone boots into stock Android, TWRP will be overwritten with stock recovery (which is useless), in which case you'll have to repeat the above.
same issue
on Verizon. Bootloader unlocked with code from Moto. Trying to use Windroid to finish up twrp install and root. I got a message in bootloader about mismatched partition size. tried ADB commands and said it installed. still won't work. no idea what to do next. was thinking of relocking and starting over but I would rather not. any suggestions? Thanks!
I have tried that as well. Used the volume rocker buttons to select recovery. I end up with a blank screen.
Tried fastboot flash recovery.img and I even tried mfastboot flash recovery as well.
Device just doesn't go to recovery after flashed through fastboot and selecting recovery.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Maybe you should try reflashing the full stock firmware, and trying again.

Thanks a lot mate,
I had gone back to stock again. Finished with the recovery process.
I have been using the power button to select the highlighted option :silly: my bad.
Thanks for stressing that out.
hey guys!
I've done something stupid with my ZR and not the vibra call just vibrates twice and the red LED is flashing when i wan't to turn on the phone.
But step by step: the phone has XZDualrecovery 2.8.26 with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the "lastest official stockrom which is 5.1.1 and root.
I tried to update to TWRP 3.0 in the TWRP menu, but i've done something wrong i guess. there was only one option to choose, i cant remember exactly -perhaps it was something with boot partition?! And now it stucks at the red led right after pressing the power button.
is there any chance to bring it back to life again? is it possible to flash just the boot partion again? Which files should i include/exclude in flashtool?
flashtool can detect the phone in flashmode and also in fastboot mode!
flashed the ftf again, but excludes the wipe of user data and apps! -problem solved! :good:
a mod can delete this post.
Is that your phone bootloader unlocked?It will be easy if your phone UB so only by command shell you can flash the recovery img and flash rom from the recovery.What you have tried is wrong.You should install the recovery to recovery partition.Or if you want to flash stock rom from the flashtool do nothing and flash directly.
well,remember the first line to get job easily done.
