I am not sure about OTA yet, maybe for OTA it will overwrite recovery and must do the process again.
Well before the android one rom you could not boot into recovery by holding vol + and power.
Unfortunately during the bootloader unlock process you cannot use the volume button.

[NEED HELP] I need help. and will deletehis asap

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 ?

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 ! ?

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.

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.

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?

[Q] Xperia V LT25i cannot enter TWRP recovery mode

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.
---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------
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

Question RECOVERY BOOTLOOP

Hello guys!
I am having a problem updating my current TWRP (version 3.52 came from one youtuber) to TWRP 3.6/OrangeFox.
I carefully follow steps. Even extracting my own rom boot.img just to flash it in accordance to said step. I successfully flash the said recovery but when i reboot to system or power off. It just keeps booting to recovery. Hoping for some enlightenment. Thank you!

1) you did not say what steps you did, or which tutorial you followed
2) what do you need twrp for?
