hello i have recently rooted my sony xperia sp via towelroot. ive download twrp via playstore and flashed the appropriate file. but i cant seem to enter recovery mode. can someone give me a buttong combo i googled and tried all option.maybe someone has a diff alternative thanks.
Did you unlock bootloader in your Xperia sp?
i have a c5303. also use towelrootto root, then install twrp app to flash twrp.img. it is not working.
The step of twrp installation
1) unlock bootloader
2) root device
3) flash twrp with app
then i follow the sony's website official way to unlock bootloader.
To unlock bootloader, device have open fastboot mode. Press and holding volume up, connect the usb to pc(still hold volume up, until the blue light is on). I am using windows 10. if you didn't update the driver to "adb interface devices" fast enough, the phone will power off and exit fastboot mode. i only have a few second to update the driver in my pc(if Xperia sp in fastboot mode, the blue light is on). i read so many page about adb, fastboot, google usb driver install.

Before installing a rom zip from twrp recovery, as soon as i got the successful message i proceeded to format my internal storage. Now the rom is stuck with bootloop , i have a twrp recovery installed which is fairly (not too much) old though, also adb sideload does not work (the recovery always tells that adb sideload is starting). Also that i do not have usb-debugging on. Also, though the recovery has the option to mount otg, it doesnt seem to work. Also i am not able to access the fastboot and flashmode by just pressing the volume up/down while inserting the usb cable. To enter into the recovery i need to switch on the device and hold power for 12 secs and then press the volume down. This leads me to the bootloader using which i can reach the recovery. Any help or advise is appreciated. Thank You
You didn't say if you tried to RUU. At this point, I'd download the RUU from here and run it. It's the first link in the OP. If you are s-on, make sure to lock your bootloader first.
Thanks for the reply coal686.
How can i lock my bootloader ?
Coz i do not have access via fastboot or adb.
Neither i can connect an otg.
even adb sideload doesnt seem to work.
Added later :
Also that though my bootloader shows fastboot, my device isnt detected and it always stays in <waiting for device> stage.
Finally, adb sideload started working... Htc one restored
Thanks for the RUU suggestion though...
May be usefull next time :laugh:
Hey there. I'm having a bit of an issue regarding the recovery on my phone. I rooted it quite some time ago but now I'd like to upgrade it to Kitkat 4.4.4 but when I try to enter recovery mode, it just boots normally. I have installed ROM Manager some time ago and I believe I may have changed my recovery, but it was either CWM or TWRP so there's nothing else. I tried using the "Boot into recovery" option but the phone won't go into recovery. I tried many different combinations upon boot but none have worked. Can someone help me, I'm running 4.3 9.2.A.1.210. I have USB Debugging enabled.
Cheers.
Most (or even all) of the custom roms have built-in recovery. So, if you want to flash some custom rom, you extract the "boot.img" from the zip and flash it via FlashTool using fastboot mode (to put Xperia V into fastboot mode hold volume up button while connecting the phone to tbe pc and the led should turn blue. If it turns green then try holding the other volume button.). And then you just select the lightning icon in FlashTool, choose fastboot mode, on the right side in the middle is an option to flash kernel and just find the boot.img you extracted and select it. Keep in mind that your bootloader must be UNLOCKED and you must install fastboot drivers before doing this.
Btw...your phone will stay in the fastboot mode only for a couple of seconds so you have to be quick...I always find the boot.img first, then put my phone into fastboot mode and then just select the image to flash it.

You have to unlock your bootloader first and then install the recovery (cwm, twrp) either by flashtool or by adb. Then on restart pressing the vol keys will lead you into the recovery.
There is no way to go into recovery mode in xperia devices.

no need to unlock bootloader to install recovery
once you have rooted, you can install dualrecovery by [NUT]
search on the forum and you know how to do it.
Hi, this is my first post on this forum.
At the beginning I'm sorry for bad English, I am using the translator.
I have a lenovo k3 note and everything worked as it should have, until it returned from China (I sent it there, then I received a reply that the screen is damaged, do I decided to fix it here, in Poland).
Currently, I cannot install CWM or TWRP. I tried to do it in many different ways. When the phone turned off, I hold volume buttons and power, but then it showed me a message at the bottom of the screen: fastboot mode.
I tried to install twrp or CWM using adb commands. I was just trying to run recovery using commands. I also tried different versions of recovery using flashtool and the result was the same. Three buttons and a message about fastboot mode.
I can install new rom using only flashtoola and I did it. I currently have K50a40_S427_160518_ROW, android 6.0.
I read somewhere that I can have a locked bootloader. I tried the command fastboot oem unlock by adb but it did not work.
Please give me a hint or tell me what to do step by step, and I will still try to properly install twrp.
Thank you in advance.

Ok, I get down to work. What is the decryption key to mega.nz to the link you provided?
Hi, Im kinda new to this bootloader thingy. What happen is, i updated the razer phone 2 to Pie, but notice wifi and sim card cant be detect. Even factory reset fails. So i thought of flashing new image on it. KINDA easy on my oneplus, but im not sure where I gone wrong on this razer phone 2, i accidentally unlock the bootloader. NOW the problem is HOW to relock it back? i been follow all youtube and guides all over the place but still fails.
The state of device atm, cannot be boot into Download Mode. Everytime I plug in usb c from Windows, it will boot into unlock bootloader warning page, and continue boot into the homescreen. testing the adbtools, fastboot also to no avail. Can anyone help and guide me how to relocking it back? Maybe i type wrongly on cmd or maybe other android steps not similar to razer one etc....:crying:help much appreciated.
Hold volume down while turning on. Then fastboot flashing lock.
the stock usb doesnt send things correctly in BL mode, https://www.amazon.com/Blackweb-3-Foot-Charge-Cable-Connector/dp/B07SG7P3KZ/ worked for me. with the correct usb cable you should be able to perform the lock commands correctly. can you give us more detail of what you tried on this phone so we know if we need to provide you additional information?

"Locking the Bootloader
Locking the bootloader is recommended for security reasons. Some applications will not work with an unlocked bootloader.
Start the Phone in Download Mode with one of the following methods:
Using the adb tool: With the Phone powered on, execute: adb reboot bootloader Enter Download Mode:
Plug in a USB cable to connect your Razer Phone to your computer, Power Off the Phone, then turn it on and immediately press and hold the Volume Down button until “Download Mode” appears on screen.
Lock the critical partitions of the Bootloader first by running this command: fastboot flashing lock_critical
Your Razer Phone will show you a confirmation screen. Use the Volume Up/Volume Down buttons for navigation, and press the Power button to select. Your Phone will reboot."
I can't seem to enter download mode. All I have is fastboot mode and the option to either reboot, close the phone or enter recovery mode. I would really like to lock the bootloader, but I can't seem to be able to detect my phone on my PC even though I installed the fastboot driver.

You must use a USB 2.0 port. The RP2 isn't detected by fastboot when connected to a 3/3.1 port.

I tried this, but to no avail. I tried with 2 cables I had and it keeps telling me < waiting for device > when I enter this command; fastboot flashing lock_critical

You need to go into your device manager and select [ android bootloader interface ] while in fastboot
