HI All,
My CLT-L09 (UK Model with 128GB of Memory and 6GB of Ram) is in a bootloop after I screwed up. I've got access to Fastboot and eRecovery, but eRecovery is refusing to download a fresh image. It always complains of a server error, even though I can see a good connection going out to Huawei in my firewall logs. The two are talking to each other. I suspect Huawei doesn't like my phone!
Anyone have a copy of the STANDARD recovery ramdisk they could share? I've tried the CLT-L29 standard ramdisk, the "recovery_ramdisk_nocheckP20.img", the "recovery_ramdisk_BKL-L04_nocheck.img" and none of them coax eRecovery into downloading a fresh image and fixing my phone.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Mich

eRecovery and Recovery Ramdisk are separate partitions. Flashing different recoveries won't affect how eRecovery works. Is your bootloader unlocked? How did you get into bootloop state?

Thanks for your fast reply!
So, you may have figured that I am merely a follower of instructions, when it comes to flashing phones.... Unfortunately I screwed up and neglected a small but very important details when I followed this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/rebrand-huawei-p20-eml-l29-eml-l09-t3779283
My phone is the CLT-L09. But for some bizarre reason I thought I had the CLT-L29. No idea how I got that idea! I was on build 110, like a lot of unfortunate people, and I was sick and tired of not getting timely security updates. So I took matters into my own hands (which I regret now....)
I followed the above thread and managed to get my phone onto CLT-L29C432B131A. And it worked! At first I was quite happy, but then I found some issues.
I found was that the build number was showing up as "Chipset-boston 8.1.0.001(01V2)". And I was having issues with a bunch of apps not wanting to show up in Google Play for my phone, which I have had on this phone before flashing it. For example Netflix and Amazon! I knew then that I couldn't stay on this build and had to find a way back onto the legit L09 release.
I followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/rebrand-huawei-p20-eml-l29-eml-l09-t3779283 again trying to apply a L09 release, but it didn't work. I could get proper root anymore, no matter what I tried. I also tried the HuRu updater, and that didn't make any difference. The CLT-L29C432B131A image I managed to get myself on just didn't want to budge from the phone.
In my desperation (and lack of understanding!) I started playing with different ramdisk images, trying to get eRecovery to allow me to re-image the phone.
So, long story short; I am now at the point where all I have is two things:
1 - eRecovery boots, but refuses to re-image my phone with a "Getting package info failed" error. I suppose my L29/L09 image mix is confusing the sh!t out of it!
2 - Fastboot works and allows me to flash ramdisk images
3 - TWRP 3.2.0 *was* working until this morning, but has now quit. Not sure how I broke that.
Is there any way back from this?

Run this command in fastboot:
fastboot oem get-product-model
This will help you figure out what model your phone thinks it is.
And this command:
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
Will help you figure out what region it's currently on. Let me know.

Would you recommend using the Huawei Update Extractor tool to flash the individual partitions manually, with the correct (original) image? My device is a CLT-L09C782. And was on b110. I have the update here, and I can extract the various images. But I have never done this kind of low level flashing. If you reckon it'll fix it, would you be happy to give me some quick tips?
This is the process I have found on the subject, but I am not sure whether it is correct or still up to date: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/extract-huawei-firmware-update-app/

Well it's returning 'hw/eu' so your device is still C432 but looks like oeminfo is damaged, I think.
I wouldn't try the low level flashing business - could result in a brick.
I'm on CLT-L09C432. I'll link you to a TWRP backup of my oeminfo you should be able to restore it from that then hopefully eRecovery will be able to get the right package info for you then.
Flash the unofficial TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400
Make sure you follow the step to boot straight to recovery after flashing. Then make a backup of your oeminfo via TWRP, then adb pull the backup to your PC (instructions here: https://www.howtogeek.com/240655/how-to-copy-twrp-android-backups-to-your-pc-for-safe-keeping/ )
Now download these 2 files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hv2HjIEo3bUoveceZWtH8b8uWTB5cuAJ/view?usp=drivesdk
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EXrnTkbAdI6qaKvo6Du3LwuN6XIuayNb/view?usp=drivesdk
and replace the backup files on your PC with the downloaded ones.
Using the file manager in TWRP, delete the TWRP folder from internal memory then ADB push the backup folder from your PC back to the phone. (Instructions on howtogeek post earlier)
Use TWRP to restore the backup then reboot to fastboot and try
fastboot oem get-product-model
If it returns CLT-L09 them you're good to try eRecovery again.
Hope this helps!
Afternoon Sir!
Tried to follow the above instructions but hit a snag; I cannot boot into TWRP when the cable is plugged into the phone, so I cannot pull the files from it!
If no cable is plugged in, TWRP boots fine and everything works. But as soon as I plug the cable in, the phone reboots automagically and boots into eRecovery. F**DN£(D annoying!
I've flashed TWRP again, just in case it hadn't copied properly, but it made no difference. Had a look on the tintertubes, but couldn't find any references to anybody else experiencing this issue. In fact, my TWRP was working fine with the cable a couple of days ago. I distinctly remember being able to mount the sdcard via USB, to copy files to/from it. No idea how this broke!
So, back to the original idea of flashing the IMG files?

That's odd. Did TWRP successfully do a backup of your oeminfo? I thought it might fail as your oeminfo seems corrupted.
Have you been able to use ADB before now? It could be a drivers issue...
Try booting to TWRP with cable unplugged, then in your command dialogue type 'adb devices' wait for the daemon to start and then plug in the cable when it says 'waiting for device's or something.
I've never heard of TWRP randomly rebooting when a cable is plugged in.

Yup, TWRP has successfully backed up oeminfo. I can see the files in the TWRP file browser.

Yeah, ADB works a treat. Not had any problems with it.

Tried that, unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
This is such a weird problem. I have TWRP, and I have the oeminfo files. I just can't get stuff on or off the phone! (if it had an SD card, it would be easy, but it doesn't have one!)
Is it possible to pull files via fastboot?
OK, found the problem with the reboot when plugging in the cable! It was a dodgy USB-C cable!! OMG!
I'll run through the process on howtogeek now and will let you know what happens!
So, I'm all up and running again!! !! !!!!!! :laugh:
Replacing the oeminfo files did the trick and the phone then identified itself as CLT-L09 in Fastboot.
I then ran eRecovery and it too was happy to finally download the stock recovery and re-image the phone to CLT-L09 8.1.0.128(C432).
I really cannot thank you enough mate. Honestly. I had been fighting with this phone for over 5 days, and running in circles without getting anywhere., and you pulled me out of the quagmire!

If you wanna root, I recommend Magisk 16.4 and latest magisk manager. I've had issues with later magisk versions.
I guess your phone got factory reset after the recovery? Bit of a bummer if so.
You can update with HuRUpdater now to build 152 if you're feeling brave. You're on C432 now too, so no more slow updates ?
Just don't forget to uninstall Magisk with the Uninstall feature in Magisk Manager before using HuRUpdater or you'll bootloop again ?

You were trying to update firmware using twrp?
First, I would suggest plugging your phone into a wall outlet and charging it until it's fully charged. You can get to the bootloader with the phone off by pressing power + volume down. Afterwards, I suggest running the latest RUU, not simply a FUU. This is done from the bootloader, not TWRP.

To unbrick your phone the fastest way is to unlock bootloader which takes you 10-15 mins, and fastboot flash any rom. Easy peasy.

To flash a firmware you must use Fastboot commands NOT adb. ADB commands are for when android is already booted. First flash boot.img, recovery.img... etc and then reboot your phone. Its should be working or at least booting. You should check out the mega-thread recently posted in the general section. It might help you.

i have try with many firmware(extract files from update.app)but,none was work,every time the same error,I think it might be a problem with the partition,or maybe if i can find someone with version c113b130 and try to flash boot an recovery i will have a chance

it goes the same way.
as i told you try installing twrp first wipe everything and then flash it but do it in the order i gave you.
first boot.img
second recovery.img
third cust.img
fourth system.img
this problem occured before. (cant find the thread anymore) but it should work.
and the way is see it you have nothing to lose at this point so
I also told him that. Usually when I flash a rom I also flash recovery before custom, but for no reason at all haha didnt know it could cause a bootloop if done cust before recovery :/

If you are sure bootloader is unlocked and using Linux OS, run fastboot commands as root/admin (as sudo).

the reason for this case, that you should not apply updates while you are rooted.
(assuming that you are in lollipop stock )I suggest you check for the driver .. try to run adb (when your phone is in the active state, not powered off)
now, reboot to bootloader and try any other fastboot commands, like fastboot reboot (just to check that fastboot is responding to the device drivers..)
if it does respond, then I'm afraid you have a serious problem, if it doesn't respond, then you have to deal with the drivers, or you have to double check if your phone is unlocked

erase cache command is blocked by huawei in fastboot irrespective of locked or unlocked state. somewhere i read unlock lost permissions after update. if you have not tried unlock after update try it. driver can also be an issue, install hisuite it comes with drivers.

okay. are you sure the bootloader is unlocked? no harm done. just hold vol down + power up. and you get that green android with white background and the text in RED that says UNLOCKED. if its LOCKED, get the UNLOCK CODE first. just a reminder, you can only fastboot flash those *.imgs if you are UNLOCKED. and there are only some files will be flashed properly (recovery.img, recovery2.img, boot.img, you can try). yes, you can use Huawei Update Extractor to get those files, even in Marshmellow files. but for reviving the phone, use B067 Kitkat or any Kitkat you can get from Huawei Downloads.
1. Get into bootloader mode. I guess you already know how to do that. Plug the phone to wall charger. Yes, leave it charged with white screen showing. Leave it until you finished preparing the PC.
2. Make sure you can use fastboot. You can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe found somewhere in XDA. And make sure that it can detect the phone when you write fastboot devices. It will show up if set up properly.
3. Huawei Update Extractor + Any Kitkat firmware. Extract everything. Note the tags beside each .img inside that Update Extractor. Youre gonna need those tags in order to flash properly.
4. Copy all those *.imgs that extracted into Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Check program files (x86).
5. Now ready the pc by launching that minimal adb and fastboot.exe as admin. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
6. fastboot devices. pull the phone from wall charger. plug it to pc. listen to usb connecting sound and driver installation. hit enter and the device should show up.
7. This is where its getting interesting. remember the tags? use that tags like this.
RECOVERY.img = fastboot flash RECOVERY RECOVERY.img
BOOT.img = fastboot flash BOOT BOOT.img
CHECK THE TAGS BEFORE FLASHING!!! and yes, just 5 or less files will be flashed successfully. Ignore it. fastboot reboot it. Yes, its stuck, plug it to the wall again while we prepare the microsd.
8. update.app file. Put that update.app file inside /microsd/dload/update.app folder. Put the microsd inside the phone. Yes, its stuck.
9. Now do the force update. when you see the emui logo, immediately plug it back to wall charger. wait until 100% and it rebooted itself, and you can see the language selection screen again.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK. Ive already done it, I hope it worked for you too.

First...many thanks for your interest!
Look, about bootloader, on boot mode is in red PHONE UNLOCKED, i try this command in fastboot:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s

(bootloader) FB LockState: LOCKED
(bootloader) USER LockState: UNLOCKED
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
so what is FB Lockstate??Is my bootloader unlocked or locked??
Here is another command which i try....
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w
wiping userdata...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
Can't determine partition type.
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
erasing 'userdata'...

finished. total time: 0.000s
Cant derermine partition type - is this problem?
I also try this....

It seems that fastboot write recovery (with your help i need use admin rights now this work) but i still cant boot to recovery no matter how...
I can also flash and backup boot and recovery via Flashify or Rashr and when i open backup with HEX editor it seems that i succesfully upload TWRP but still cannot acess TWRP recovery....
This is all what i try in this time, of course i read your help words about Huawei extractor etc. but not try at this time, i hope i explain more detailed my problem. Look im not a newbie, i allready flash etc. my Lenovo and P9 lite what i have here but not understand where can be problem in this Honor 4x, it seems like corrupted recovery partition or can be problem in read only/write partition - i play with this option before....
anyway - run as admin - this help me a lot i think, THX and wait your answer.
EDIT: one thing, you think that when i try flash stock recovery (i can, no problem of course) it will be work?
Update: Big success, i just try flash stock recovery B064b and now im in stock recovery menu, im surprised but what now? I want update to Marshmallow 6.0....?
But in stock recovery is: phone and the data cannot be recovered. Continue?
Oh sorry, this is about "not sd card inserted" problem
What will now progress? I have inside B130 firmware and want Marshmallow, also TWRP recovery must i flash now especially for B130 firmware for work?
Update: Yes, all working now, factory reset, recovery etc. you help me a lot, only if you can tell me what number of firmware must i upload for Marshmallow, thx
Last update: So finally, coz im too hurry and dont want wait for your answer :angel:, i just upload from local update first Android 5.1.1. after this 6.0 and all is perfect and working!
My big thanks and kisses goes to you zzztidurvirus, im lucky and still cant beleive that all works, again thx!!
I did once on Win to revert back to Stock from CM12.1 by using img from update.app file. For my case, it's the MM update.app not working, I couldn't flash img files into phone, then I tried to flash files from LP, it worked. I boot into LP ROM and update from there to MM.
Hey hey people.
I was trying to upgrade my friend's Honor X4 Che2-L11 variant to 6.0 age from it's lollipop and ****ed up - big time. It seems to have a recovery, and it bootloops. I can't get it to install any update.app though, it either errors or gets stuck/crashes at 5%.
Now I am trying to flash a individual stock recovery with fastboot. Like the guide by zzztidurvirus there, but whenever I try to issue flash command this is what I get:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'RECOVERY' (9304 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.258s]
writing 'RECOVERY'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.261s
- so basically any flash command sends OKAY, Writing Fails with Command not allowed. Bootloader is unlocked, "PHONE unlocked" on screen and same status messages from fastboot as Lulu up there when making queries.
What gives, what could I try still?

Sadly not, as I tried both running ADB fastboot as admin from administrator command line and I tried three different recovery images from huawei, 6.0 (because the flash went bad during attempt to flash a 4.1EMUI with 6.0 B506 ROM for CHE2-L11) - And it keeps denying the write attempt with the same message. More info on the flash: I tried to TWRP flash from 5.1 rom to the EMUI4.1 6.0 ROM following guide someone made with updateappflasher.zip or something, during the flash the phone just crashed 60% in the bar and after that the phone is boot looping into recovery but it can't do anything. Like said any attempt to flash a stock rom even if a recovery seems to exist when booting VOL+ & POWER at the same time, but it will fail if attempting to do wipe data/factory reset in 40% mark. Forced updater can also be accessed but again, thanks to the firmware situation the phone is in it does not flash anything beyond 5% without crashing and being stuck or just giving an error message outright.
Only thing I might have not have is the right kind of ADB drivers but googling about CHE2-L11 I really cannot find a ADB drivers for this phone for life of me and dealing with windows 10 these days makes it worse. At least it used to be that I was with windows 7, back when I myself unlocked the bootloader of the phone and rooted it myself, I have some memory of that being harsh to deal with too, as I had hard time getting drivers that worked right with the phone etc.
I will check into this... At this point my friend bought a new phone already but I still will try to fix the phone for him since I feel personally pretty bad for pretty big mess I made.
I will also try this with a windows XP machine I have still, it is meant entirely for different things but at times like these it is somewhat nice to have a XP around. At least the darn driver problems are not a problem.
UPDATES:
I unbricked the phone. The stock recovery was intact enough for just a normal dload install of a update.app from huawei - why it did not initially work was probably the USB connection to computer and/or 64gig microSD card my friend had, not being compatible with Huawei's recovery updater. I myself had a 8gig card around which worked and I restored the phone ultimately to a 6.0 official ROM. I also went ahead to root it - and final find really was that the reason why recovery etc. would not flash, was because I wrote "fastboot flash RECOVERY twrp.img" - instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - the latter works, and the all caps for "RECOVERY" results in illegal command error - and it was no bigger than that.
Meanwhile even after sorting this all out my friend already ended up buying a new phone so it hurts but I hope some other people find some info here useful.
Hi there!
Let me explain the complicated situation:
Fist some data: P20Pro - CLT-L09 C432 - 9.0.0.163. - Bootloader unlocked - Rooted.
The device was running Oreo and I've managed to rooted it (with TWRP) and updated it through HuRUpdater. The problem began when I updated the phone to Pie, using the same method with a newer version of HuRUpdater. It worked, kind of, but now I can't update it nor do a factory reset. Everything shows an error. The only way to connect the phone to a PC is only through HiSuite, otherwise the PC shows a "CD Drive" instead an external drive.
At first I wanted to downgrade the phone back to Oreo which I thought I might need FunkyHuawei, I contacted and send them the required information:
fastboot oem get-product-model:
(bootloader) CLT-L09
fastboot getvar vendorcountry:
vendorcountry: hw/eu
fastboot oem get-build-number:
(bootloader) :CLT-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.163
fastboot getvar rescue_enter_recovery:
getvar:rescue_enter_recovery FAILED (remote: 'FAIL:need all image flashed!')
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION:
(bootloader) :CLT-L09 8.1.0.161(C432)
They suggested some tutorials but they didn't guarantee me that it could work.
So I really don't know what to do any more. I would really like to flash the device completely deleting absolutely everything, like factory reset not but through eRecovery because it doesn't work.
May be there is someone out there with a possible solution?
Thanks in advance.

I've posted in the thread you suggested me. Till now, after rebooting in TWRP and with the phone connected to the PC, the tool shows "< waiting for any device >" and nothing happens from there.
Do you know a method where I can flash everything through fastboot mode? And I mean EVERYTHING, I don't care if I have to delete the whole internal storage.
Never mind, after I played a little too much with the phone and bricked it... :silly:
THIS post saved my life... to say it better, saved the phone's life.
Bootloader is now relocked, but I don't care, at least I have a working phone.
Thanks.
has anyone solved this problem by unlocking the bootloader? with error: Failed: Command did not succeed
I tried the following bulds:
52.0.A.3.202
52.0.A.8.14
52.0.A.8.25
52.0.A.8.50
Thanks
Bibi
small update:
after updating to 52.0.A.8.50, I made "factory settings" to reset it to the old version.
But when I restart without wifi, I find build 52.0.A.8.50 again
And now the OEM unlock option, which was usable before, has turned gray !! Mystery for me.
Obviously he wants me to update to 52.0.A.8.85 !!!
SOLVED INFORMATION:
I was wrong in writing IMEI of my device, and I put a wrong IMEI in SONY's selector, on its official page, which happens to have given its unlock code all quiet.
then the problem FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
can be translated as "I don't have the exact unlock code for your phone"
I did this to version 52.0.A.8.131 that I had installed before.

Try .131 vor wait for September
For wait for Q, maybe Sony will remove more DRM TA protection like it did with P
if it was for 2 or 3 days it is not a problem.
but I can't wait until late September.
Let's say that I bought it to be root .. and if I can't do it .. maybe I'll send it back.
Sorry, but are you telling me that they haven't solved even after almost a year?
nobody rooted?
The 3.131 where I can find it and flash arla.
if I find it on XFIRM, what program do I use to put it in my phone?
among other things to set it to factory settings he left me at 52.0.A.8.50, even without wifi.
And nice surprise .. OEM unlock is now deactivated !!!!
it leaves me very mulble

OEM unlock needs internet via a simcard and a phone restart
There ate many unlocked users using magisk and twrp.
I would recommend to follow the Sony unlocking instructions

Then:
if I do a factory reboot and I don't put the wifi in the first cellphone settings, the OEM unlock option remains gray.
If I do it and I put the wifi in the meantime that is imposed then OEM unlock is usable and therefore can be activated. Correct?
(not that it makes much sense)
However I am installing updates one after the other, and for every update I try the command. (what's also coming to 52.0.A.8.131 which has been expanding in August 2019 (practically these days) and text as MartinX3 advised.

It's forced by the mobile providers to check if the simcard allows unlocking
Sony isn't alone here
Unlocking factory resets the phone, too
I did check the unlock box and followed only the Sony instructions and used my generated IMEI code.

wait MartinX3,
aren't you saying that you need a simcard inserted in the cell to unlock it right? just the wifi I hope to activate the option.
Look, I followed Sony's directions (which are basically 4 things on the cross)
But it gives me that error: FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
LIST OF WHAT I DID:
-I do All the appropriate procedures:
-I received the unlock code from the official Sony site
- Platform-tool download and driver
-on the phone sets it basic, active developer commands
- USB DEBUG and UNLOCK OEM tip on the mobile phone menu
- I turn off the phone
-Attack the mobile in fastboot mode (blue light)
-then in the devices and printers, which appears in new one when I plug in the cel in fastboot mode, I update the driver of the device appeared, android studio).
-I do the ADB command -> fastboot devices
**and ai read the model serial
- Then enter the code to unlock the phone: fastboot oem unlock 0xCODESEIAL
**and I get this: FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I tried the .107, now I try with .131 as you recommended me)
UPDATE:
badly wrong, even with the 52.0.A.8.131 DOES NOT, same identical error.
Sony in his guide makes it so easy, but neither does he make the possible mistakes.
And that I can't find an explanation for this specific error.

Sadly I'm out of ideas
Hoping here or at https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...er-Failed-Command-did-not-succeed/m-p/1387453 someone will answer you

I found out!
then:
turn and turn, and check IMEI of the cell I used.
I was wrong in writing IMEI, and I put the wrong IMEI in SONY's selector, on its official page, which happens to have given its unlock code all quiet.
then the problem FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
can be translated as "I don't have the exact unlock code for your phone"
I did this to version 52.0.A.8.131 that I had installed before.
well OTHER PROBLEM!
it doesn't flash me twrp
with this error:
Sending 'recovery' (34192 KB) OKAY [0.737s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
I'm looking at guides.

Nice that it worked
Oh, the error is easy
It indicates "you didn't read the instructions' [emoji14]

Leave me pending? this is the command they say they use.
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I know you can flash even with androxyed flash, but when you do ... it doesn't start anymore (the white sony script remained) ...
and I went a bit panicked !!!!
doing the Flash of the original firware it has been restored, but returned to the point of before. Install twrp.twp or superSU in short, activate the ROOT
the writing that says that the bootloader is corrupt, at start each time the cell terrifies me every time I see it. BRRRR

If you corrupted the firmware, please use xperifirm & newflasher from XDA to reflash the firmware
Instructions are in the ROM section of the xz3 on XDA

yes yes, I know that with the flash mode they can reinstall the official system.
there is also the official sony flastool called EMMA. which I have to say is not bad.
Now the system is ok, official.
I'm looking for ways to install root or twrp from a phone

Should be impossible without a computer for initial installation

yes, it's like you say.
Looking at the guides, I think the right solution for me is an official firmware kernel that has both twrp and magikic inside.
I found a guide of 2017, but the official firmware files have changed, I do not find myself in the guide.
Can't you recommend something to me, or the keywords to look for on this theme?
I wanted to learn to change the firmware for future root myself.

I have sadly no time to do it and can only recommend the ROM section for the XZ3 in XDA (twrp)

Each has its own spaces. do not worry. Meanwhile, I've made progress !!!
You know that after unblock I had problems installing TWRP.Practically the command gave error.
I found the solution around.
The guides say:
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
but I have this error:
HTML:
FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
basically in the version of android 9 they created 2 partitions and practically the recovery was divided into recovery ramdisck, recovery ...
They explain it HERE
In practice some new systems (I did not understand if the kelner or just the boot), do not have the active recovery partition and then flash the recovery, it is like doing it on a folder that does not exist.
So they recommend starting the mini twrp operating system via adb.
And through this active twrp (but not installed), install twrp itself, and then the apps for the root.
So, I use the new command that starts twrp without installing it:
HTML:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then it takes 3 minutes with the word sony and then I see twrp
I make a twrp backup for security
then from there I install .img used for the command and moved to the phone while twrp is active and I do install, install img and select partition recovery ramdisck.
I tried to install also in the boot partition, which shows in the list.
and apparently the cell works correctly anyway.
In the guides they never say in which partition to put.
Meanwhile there are install magisk 18.1 (and a zip called permissive; I don't know what it is but from the name it seems useful).
Well, everything is smooth and without errors.
Restart, I use the twrp access commands (which in the case of xz3 are volume DOWN + prower simultaneously while the phone is still off).
And the recovery is there, but it has the usual tuoch problem that doesn't work.
I see the twrp main screen, which seems to work correctly, but the touch ...
I then checked the root, via the app downloadable on the cell from the magisk manager repository and marks the correct root.
Obviously I don't update anything about 19.3, which you wrote in other places that is corrupt.
: Sciocco: NOW! I just have to fix twrp and my epic quest will be over.
(although I'm worried about flashing a hypothetical Q that's coming out)
can you give me some inspiration for the touch that doesn't work twrp?
