Thanks in advanced

It seems you have stock recovery how did you flash it did you use toolkit by anil293 or did flash using fastboot and look for unlock boot loader option in toolkit or did you unlock boot loader if you didn't unlock try unlocking first an then flash recovery happy to help and also don't write THANKS HIT the thanks button IT would mean a lot to us developers

You can boot to recovery by the command >> fastboot boot recovery.img

I tried both. First I did with adb. It worked fine till I installed lollipop of India.
Didn't work after that, then I used the all in one kit as well, still no luck. I used their rotund option, it opened philz somehow. Please help

How did you install lollipop by restoring or flashable zip and which device are you using and my device is canvas a1 at first i installed lollipop using philz backup and then it got to stock recovery and i lost root and this is what i did then I installed official drivers and use minimal adb and fastboot tool and downloaded the official twrp and placed the img file in c/minimal adb directory and rename the file to twrp.img and NOT twrp.img.img and connected device in fastboot mode and typed (fastboot devices) a serial number displayed and typed fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and voila I got the twrp up and running from then I've been using twrp and also download the material theme IF you got any errors post here

[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 ?

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 ! ?

So......to do that Follow these Steps :-
Download Stock Recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/android-one-general/stockrecoveryandroid-one-t2917457
1) Make sure u have Installed ADB drivers ( If Already did, Skip Step 2)
2) To install ADB drivers first Unable USB debugging From the developer Options in the Setting ( If there is No Developer Options Goto-Setting-About Phone-Tap Build Number 7 Times and go back to settings and Open Developer Options and Unable USB debugging) And then Connect Your Phone to PC and Open ADB DRIVER executable File And Install Drivers.
3) Once Drivers are installed Download ADB AND FASTBOOT from here http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1nu6Ydzrmi-dWdmS00tWjE1WHM
4)Extract the zip and open the folder and then HOLD SHIFT+Right Click and then click on Open Command Window here
5)And then boot your phone to Fastboot Mode, To do that Power Off the Device and HOLD POWER AND VOLUME UP key at the same time and then navigate to the Fastboot Mode by Volume UP button and and Click Volume Down button to select. Once you are in Fastboot Mode connect your Device to PC and go back to PC
6)Once Command Window is opened type following Command :-
Code:

Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Code:

Code:
fastboot flash recovery <Name of the Recovery in ur PC>
Code:
fastboot boot <Name of the Recovery in ur PC>
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.

Hi,
you can try this:
Copy the downloaded recovery image (.img file) to the folder where you have placed your ADB and Fastboot.
Launch terminal (or command prompt on Windows).
Navigate to the directory where you have placed the ADB, Fastboot and .img file together.
Shut down your phone and reboot into boot loader. For nexus devices, simply hold volume down + power to start up the phone.
Connect your phone to your computer.
On terminal (or command prompt) window, write fastboot boot <img file name>, e.g. fastboot boot twrp.img.
Your phone will restart and will boot into the recovery mode.
Hint:
use adb reboot bootloader in CM13 to reboot into fastboot bootloader

Boot to recovery with volume down button not working

Hello, My volume down button is broken and i can only access the bootloader via ADB using (adb reboot bootloader).
But when i flash a custom recovery and reboot normal then (adb reboot recovery), it stills the original recovery. I've read a topic in reddit, that if you restart normally after installing recovery, it is not "installed".
You guys know any command on fastboot to boot into recovery after installation? i've tried to use (fastboot help) to search possible commands and i've find nothing.

You can flash recovery via an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
It worked for me just reboot recovery from app.

Twrp issues

Hi,
When i try to install TWRP on my mi 8 it works first time but after i restart my device and press volume up and power button it brings me back to the standard xiaomi recovery for some reason. i thought i had installed TWRP.img correctly but i cannot figure out what i have done wrong

are you sure you flash the twrp? or you just boot to twrp?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or, you go to developer options, untick automatic system updates.
try and see
