I was trying to flash the Ozip to restore the stock rom using TWRP and after that boom
damaged boot/recovery that msg
i still can go inside twrp and the fastboot mode
what i did notice is that the file folder name changed to system_root and it was just system bevor
is there any fix for it i am using the CN Version
(how-to unbrick your realme device) fastboot needed fix inside.
I Went totally nuts last night when i bricked my phone so i did figure out my self how to unblock the phone.
First you need to BE ABLE TO ENTER FASTBOOT it won't work without it and you need working TWRP.
First you need to go to TWRP and go to mount and unmount everything and disable MTP.
Then go to Advanced and select Terminal
type in LS make sure there is 2 Folders one called system and one called system_root
make sure that the system folder is empty if empty type in rm -r system
and rename the system_root folder to system using mv system_root system
after that boot into Fastboot mode and Flash your Rom for your Device using the Fastboot Tool
Hope that works for you guys.
System wiped/corrupted. Flash the chinese fastboot rom to fix it via fastboot
The real mistake is when your device brick with locked bootloader, all the other cases are solvable.

That's interesting, i thought it works only if you relock bootloader and then update fw

Thanks,I fixed it but not with your steps,it turns out using the Chinese twrp fixed everything for me
Solved.! (For me) CN
I unlocked the bootloader according to the guide [Guide] Guides for x2 Pro[Locking/unlocking bootloader, tweaks and more]. And flashed TWRP successfully. MY MAIN MISTAKE -> DIDN'T MAKE A BACKUP AT THIS POINT.
Then I flash canary debug magisk and open gapps micro (culprit for brick). Then tried to reboot but stuck in yellow Realme screen. Then went back to recovery tried "Facrory reset", "Format data", flash latest CN ozip, even fastboot flash and guide by natedogg20050 with no luck. But Lineage OS unofficial by karthick mostwanted worked with magisk 20.3. :good:
For one final time I tried to get back the stock(since Lineage is still in alpha ATM), after seeing this post by exadeci. Did a "format data" following fastboot flash with chinese images, SUCCESS...!!! :victory: And even updated with ozips from CN site worked.. Finger print works too.
Still in update process to latest .15 . Plan to install magisk.(hopefully canary debug).
Will update this after latest upgrade + magisk install.
don't worry we can
first reboot to recovery
then go to wipe
and wipe sytem,catche,davik catche and data
then download the stock os for realme software
download link(please select your mobile) in realme software website
and flash the recovery
wipe catche and data
and you are back to stock os
enjoy

after do that my phone boot only in TWRP but i can't see anything.
if I connect the phone to the computer it is empty and if I want to transfer something on it gives me an error.
can you help me ?
SOLVED: i formatted by TWRP.
When I type LS in terminal it gives a long list. There is a "system" and a "system_root".
When I try to open "system" with cd system command, it says, no such file or directory. When I enter "cd system_root" it goes into this Folder. But using "ls" command within this Folder it just shows nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
Any idea?
P.S. Yes I can enter fastboot, and TWRP is working.

Thanks for asking! Yes, I did, but in a different way. It was a long way, running from stuck in yellow realme boot logo to bootloops already on the white realme start logo. Finally I got back a running system, which I don't trust anymore now. My configuration is:
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.3.1.13
- Magisk canary debug 8ca5a048 (20405)
- Magis Manager 72f6770d (278)
- Andorid 10, C24
I was already at this point 2 days ago. Then Magisk Manager announced an update. Stupid as I am, I just klicked install, and arrived at the same point. Stuck in yellow boot logo, and the whole operation started from beginning. Now I am at the same point again as above, and Magisk Manager announces again an update for itself. But I don't trust it anymore, and I don't know what to do. Just leave it? Or making a nandroid backup first? But will it be sufficiant to backup boot partition, system image and data when the crash comes again? I don't know what to do.

If you have unlocked bootloader you could go in fastboot mode and flash twrp, then format data

Disclaimer: If you are not comfortable with using Fastboot and ADB and editing system files than this guide might not be for you. At this point this is what I have to offer.
Click here for the unofficial twrp image - Latest version as of 12/27/14
So getting right into it.
1. Turn on ADB mode on the watch by going to about and tapping the build info 7 times.
2. Download ADB and Fastboot utilties
3. Plug the watch into the computer and your phone should vibrate and ask you to accept the computers fingerprint, tick the check box to always allow and hit ok
4. Open up a command prompt or terminal inside of where the ADB utilities are located and enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This next step will wipe your data!
5. Now you should be in fastboot, go ahead and on the terminal use the next code and follow prompts to unlock
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
6. Now after you re-set up your watch again you will need to do step 1 and 3 again.
Please do not skip step 6!
7. Go ahead and issue
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Flash unofficial twrp, make sure the recovery image file is in the same location as fastboot than issue
Code:
fastboot flash recovery YOURIMGNAMEHERE.img
9. Upon successfully doing that you should have twrp installed
10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB use the proper name of what you downloaded. Issue
Code:
adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
11. Issue
Code:
adb reboot recovery
12. than using the very tiny TWRP and somewhat messed up go ahead and use it to install the supersu.zip under the folder /sdcard
13. Enjoy root and twrp.
I will make this guide into a much easier Java program in the very near future to make it easier to use.
This was typed up pretty fast and it is kinda hacky, I will work on a bat script and a shell script if we have enough osx users here. I'm sure someone will come along and make this better if I don't get around to it.

Q: ADB complains there is no device listed.
A: Install universal ADB drivers and then go to device manager and under the device with a yellow warning icon go to update driver, Browse my computer, let me pick from list of device drivers, than Google ADB interface. If it still complains turn off debugging, than turn it back on, revoke authorization, then disable and re-enable again.
One more just in case.
Great work!!
Just got the watch today and couldn't be happier. Custom kernel, TWRP and root (well sort of) all within 6 hours of having this watch.
I say root (sort of) because SU is force closing when running su in adb shell. First time it crashed adb on PC and had to reboot watch. Now it just force closes on my watch and adb exits on PC. What is the most current version of SuperSU? I have 1.94 from Chainfire's site.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Do you or your team have a paypal?

The latest supersu is version 2.36 dated 11.27.2014. 1.94 is well over a year old, you need to update for sure that is why you are force closing.
I figured that's what it was. Feeel real dumb for not finding the newest version the first time. Also most current is now 2.37 XD
Edit: That got it! Thanks tonu!

10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB. Issue "adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
When I do this it is saying permission denied. Also, should the watch be in recovery or fully booted when I run this command?

Disregard I did it again and for some reason it worked. Maybe I need to reboot first.
Recovery
I went through your command and everything worked until I ran:
fastboot flash recovery UNOFFICIAL-openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-lenok.img
Now the device just boots into the recovery and not into the system. The system/data partitions keep saying:
E:Unable to mount /data
E:Unable to mount /system
I am very comfortable with fastboot and adb so I do not know what I did wrong here.
Any ideas?

The dump is extracted from the system.img, you won't be able to flash it in any way. None of this guide touches system files besides the root stuff which shouldn't affect boot. Try flashing the stock recovery.img instead.

installed stock recovery
booted into the watch system
enabled adb debugging
reboot to bootloader
install your recovery image
rebooted
pushed supersu
rebooted to twrp
installed supersu
rebooted to system
adb shell - verified root!
You are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help me!
HYPE for 5.0.1
'm Hype! can't wait to flash the first 5.0.1 system dump on this as stated by +Darek Ross we MAY be receiving update as early as today!
I did this yesterday, and run into the same problem - TWRP spitting out errors when flashing
It was caused by NOT rebooting after unlocking bootloader, but proceeding with the flash rightaway - this apparently leaves the watch in an empty state (no /sdcard or /system contents) and it needs to boot up at least once before you flash anything
So the correct procedure is like this
1) enable development options
2) enable usb debugging
3) adb reboot-bootloader
4) fastboot oem unlock
5) let the watch boot normally, pair with your phone, enable development options and usb debugging again
6) adb reboot-bootloader
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot reboot
9) adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
10) adb reboot recovery
11) flash supersu.zip
Apparently, there is a problem when the original kernel is not present after "fastboot oem unlock" - the watch will be left empty, while on the original kernel it "reinstalls"
I typed this from memory, but I think you should know how these things work anyway, as there's not much for a "normal" user to do anyway... yet...

My guide is setup like the one you put there. In order to get adb working again you need to re setup the watch step 6. Read the instructions carefully. I'll post a batch script later to simplify this.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Step 6 doesn't really say "you need to do this, OR ELSE", it seems like you just rehash the factory reset thing
And you should put step 10 before step 6, it can't really be done in that order...
but again, I guess the people trying this should now how it works, so no biggie, but since a few of us got hit by that "no initial boot" issue, it would be better to put a note in there

By default debugging is disabled, I'm not sure how you were able to issue an ADB command on step 7 with out first performing step 6.
Aaah, sorry, should have been "after step 6"
another option is to do adb push with recovery loaded
I guess that's why I got that error before, because I combined 5+8 and flashed the recovery, but TWRP was unable to revive the watch from factory reset state (which makes me think it should not be on the watch unless needed...)

Google has no answer for me.
Every time I enter into the recovery and push the message button I get this ERROR: 2.
Everything works fine, its latest TWRP 3.0.2.
Could you tell me something about this error message 2?
What is 'postrecoveryboot.sh'?
How can I get this red message off / without error?

No, unfortunately not.
If XDA has no solution, who else?
I have the same problem, this is inside the file
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Include device-specific vars
source /sbin/bootrec-device
# Turn the LED off
echo 0 > ${BOOTREC_LED_RED}
echo 0 > ${BOOTREC_LED_GREEN}
echo 0 > ${BOOTREC_LED_BLUE}
that error is because this file bootrec-device located at sbin folder always missing when reboot system or recovery
I have try many way
-flash stock rom with flashtool
-flash rom via recovery
-wipe via adb and fastboot
-chmod this file bootrec-device to read only
-remove this file postrecoveryboot.sh just come back after reboot recovery
all that way doesn't work
my Xperia unable to boot right know :crying:
maybe i'll try search what's file that create this??? postrecoveryboot.sh

A possible 'emergency solution' so that your device reboots again could be attached link.
What really surprised me, no one else has this ERROR: 2, and if not, why not?
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can fix this 'postrecoveryboot.sh' Error 2 with a lower version twrp
I use twrp 2.8.7 which has been uploaded by someone from here androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811669
flash with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" only if you UB, on LB try downgrade your twrp version
and then via file manager, just chmod the file bootrec-device located at sbin folder with read only access
my phone can only be booted only with rom existenz, and it was frequently rebooted and my battery status is unclear, sometimes 65% during the initial boot, and then only a 5% reboot afterwards
I have flash using flashtool with many based rom from 10.5.1.A, 10.6.1.A, 10.7.1.A latest, but it still does not make my phone work just to show sony screen flickered and died with the indicator is still red
all the problems occurred after I had this problem 'postrecoveryboot.sh' Error 2
I still do not know how to turn off the script, when I delete the file after reboot definitely go back there
hoping my phone can be normal again sometime

Could the cause for the error be a kind of provider branding?
So deeper implemented than the usual firmware.
My device was delivered via German Telekom.

Dont ask why, both recoverys, the new one into the FOTA partition from attached link und the older, normal one 3.0.2.0 are error-free! :good:

but after this error, i can boot into recovery and install rom then reboot got bootloop, charger just show blip screen logo
just wanna try your idea with the Multirom v33 non modified

Download latest recovery 'twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga.img' from link 1.
Put it to your Phone, turn of, push volume + and insert USB-cable for flashmode.
Blue LED-light appears.
Type -fastboot flash boot boot.img
-fastboot reboot
in ADB-connection CMD on your PC --> thats all.
Optional you can use the Tool in link 2.

I wa sure to copy the .img file in "platform-tools" folder in my PC and with cmd type "-fastboot flash boot boot.img" and not to have the file inside the internal memory of my Xperia Z. Obviously i think to rename "Twrp-3.0.blablabla" into boot.img

Yes, very correct, copy and rename the file into 'boot.img' to your ADB-folder and flash it. :angel:
Finally with some free time i unlocked and flash the latest TWRP on my old Xperia Z. And yes i've got the same error "ERROR: 2". But everything works from backup to restore and flash Custom ROM. So i think we can nevermind about that
I have the same.
Sometimes my phone randomly reboot, and seems to be some app cause this reboots.
It was happend more and more often. And suddenly couple days ago my phone start to bootloop (just endlesly booting at xperia logo).
I have F5121 stock 8.0 Oreo and done all like in this manual https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...els-latest-34-4-a-2-118-25-sept-2018.3594502/
So I was have rooted kenrnel twrp 3.2.3.0+DRM-Fix +magisk +FCS_1.3 +debloat script.
Almost 2 years of no problems and this surprise.
When I load to twrp and press menu button i see this:
Updating partition details...
...done
Unable to mount storage
So I was trying do backup of all partitions and after that I go in in wipe menu => advanced wipe => checkbox cache partition => fix patition
than I try to fix all patitions - it doesn't help.
So I do this:
wipe menu => advanced wipe => checkbox data partition => change to exFAT filesystem then => change back to EXT4 filesystem and restore data from backup. And do system/data partitions
and try to restore my backup - and it don't work.
EVEN my older backups don't works - I always become bootloop on xperia logo.
When I download twrp backup to PC and unpack cache.ext4.win\recovery I see file with name last_log.

I would like to hear some ideas why that may happen (Unable to mount storage). Coz i lost part of my data and don't wanna have the same experience again and again in future.
Okay so I got my oneplus 3t today and I updated it to Nougat via the ota file all good so far. I then decided that I wanted to install a custom rom so I downloaded twrp supersu etc everything needed to root and install the rom. Here's where it went wrong in knowingly I downloaded the wrong twrp flashed it and it would just hang at the flash screen for twrp. Anyway after hours of trying to install a recovery I managed to get a stock one to semi work, now it turns out I don't know how I did it but my phone won't even boot it just turns on and goes straight to fastboot mode. I managed to get a stock recovery semi working but it won't let me install the stock rom from internal storage and I've tried updating through adb and it will hang at a random percentage for a good 20 mins and then just fail. Really need some help here it would be great, thanks
Hi,
If you can get into fastboot mode then the best recourse is through there. Hope you properly OEM unlocked your device.
First of all, you MUST have the latest adb/fastboot binaries and FOR SURE have the correct drivers.
Follow the links on this XDA article to download the latest adb and fastboot binaries: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads
This is the link for the Windows binary: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Extract all the contents of the zip file in a folder on your PC.
Then, also make sure to have THE CORRECT twrp, 3.0.2.0 or 3.0.3.0. This is the link but currently it is down: https://twrp.me/devices/oneplus3t.html
Download THE IMAGE, NOT FLASHABLE ZIP and put it in the same folder as the android platform tools above.
Finally, download the latest complete 3T firmware from OnePlus from this link: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/
I STRONGLY recommend not to use an update zip, even a full ROM update zip as that one might not include certain firmware images.
Put THE ZIP on the same folder as the others, DO NOT EXTRACT ANYTHING.
On your PC, open a command prompt in the folder where you extracted the android platform tools and run the following: fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-oneplus3t.img (assuming you downloaded the 3.0.3 version of twrp).
Your phone will TEMPORARILY accept the twrp recovery as a boot image and boot from there. NOTHING IS BEING PERMANENTLY WRITTEN AT THIS TIME.
After that, enter TWRP's Wipe menu and wipe system, data and cache.
Finally, use TWRP's Advanced menu and enter adb sideload mode. Once there slide that slider to the right to enable adb mode and return to your PC and enter the following command in the command prompt:
adb sideload OnePlus3TOxygen_28_OTA_029_all_1612131737_17e7161d2b234949.zip (assuming you downloaded the 3.5.4 binary from OnePlus).
TWRP should properly flash the OnePlus ROM and hopefully, return you to proper function. You can then update back to Nougat.
Hope that helped!
Yeah that sorted it thanks a lot
Use the emergency tool for OP3T and start from scratch:

Once I do "fastboot boot twrp" and get a success, then what?
Do I need to somehow reboot the phone into TWRP - because that didn't happen on its own.
If so, how do I do this?
Thanks,

My instructions while detailed are not step-by-step. I expect the person reading them to have their PC configured correctly and at least a vague idea of what they're doing.
So, assuming you put the correct TWRP image (my command uses the name of the image for TWRP 3.0.3.0, you MUST alter it to reflect the actual image's filename if it's not that) on the same folder as the fastboot binary then yeah, the command
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-oneplus3t.img
should have made your phone reboot and enter into the TWRP image that you had on your PC.
If it didn't then you did sth else wrong before that.
Either you didn't OEM unlock your phone when you still could or you didn't use the android platform tools that I linked or you don't have the correct ADB drivers installed on your PC.
Start from there.
Hope that helped!
Thanks for your help @KeyperOS - I know where I went wrong...
To save some time, when I tried to reboot into TWRP, I typed "fastboot boot " then I dragged and dropped the TWRP img file onto that line in the cmd window (rather than typing the filename manually) - when you do that, it appears to include the full path to the img - it was that that was causing the problem.
When I typed the TWRP filename manually, it worked.
The only thing that caught me out was after I'd installed the ROM (via adb sideload) I tried to reboot the device from TWRP recovery - this seemed to just hang. In the end I just powered off the phone using the power key, then powered it back up as per usual.
Checked that the phone booted to the first of the setup screens, then powered off/booted into fastboot mode, relocked the bootloader and it seems to be OK.
I'm now back on 3.5.4 again, which was what I was trying to do...
4.0.0/1 had felt a bit laggy, and I'd sensed some issues with wifi and BT, I can now run 3.5.4 and see how it compares - was I just imagining it?
Thanks again for the guide and your help - I really appreciated it
@PugRallye
Windows' command prompt has an autocomplete feature. If you want it to add the name of a file, type a couple letters and then present TAB, it's gonna complete the filename itself and if it's the wrong file you can keep tapping tab to cycle through all the options.
Really glad it worked out Btw [emoji4]
In my experience, 3.5.4 was great but 4.0 is a step up in both battery life, which IME is amazing and features, with it I almost didn't need root and certainly don't need xposed which was a first.
Hi all. Phone is rooted and unlocked. Have twrp installed. Made a twrp backup, downloaded a new ROM (aosp). Wiped phone as in op, flashed new ROM & gapps. Upon restating, phone asked for password. I'd made sure that I'd got rid of security seetings before making backup. Tried to reinstall backup, phone boots into startup screen, then again, asks for "to start android device, enter your password". Please help.
Try deleting this file in twrp using the file manager.
/data/system/locksettings.db

Hi many thanks....but when I go into file manager, there is no file for data????
I think I've killed the phone. Any way of completely wiping and starting again?
The 3 buttons at bottom of screen. When I press the right button, message I get is:
Failed to decrypt data.
Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a format data.

Glad you came here, it is simple to solve this.
1. put your device into bootloader mode
2. connect your device to pc via usb
3. install minimal adb and open command prompt in that minimal adb folder.
4. enter command - fastboot erase userdata
5. solved. but sorry, it will wipe your internal memory too.
you can even try wiping data with twrp, but it'll usually won't work at this stage. so follow the command. cheers.

Hi,
is anybody able to get encryption working on MI8 under xiaomi.eu Rom?
I tried several times with "old" Android O and new Android P Roms from Xiaomi.eu, but after "encryption" my data partition was useless and I've to format my phone completely.
I'm on the newest 'unofficial' recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0918-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150.zip and on xiaomi.eu 8.9.20.
Thanks
hi!
you need to edit vendor/etc/fstab.com
in the file there is "encryptable=ice", you need to change that to "fileencryption=ice"
but you need to format data after that, i dont think it will work if you dont

Hi t0mas,
I don't have ventor on the phone but I've found vendor, can you confirm whether it was a typo or not?
As for the file itselft, I found a resemblence named fstab.qcom in /vendor/etc/.
Fyi I'm on Mi 8 8.9.24 Xiaomi.eu ROM. In order to search for the file mentioned in your post, I went through TWRP and mounted Data, Cache, System, Vendor and Persist.
Thanks for your assistance
Hi
Does it work this way?

So in TWRP, I've renamed the fstab.qcom to old_fstab.qcom_old and copied the modified file to /vendor/etc and did a data wipe. I've rebooted the phone to system but it goes to TWRP splash screen and stays there. If I reboot the phone again, it just reboots to TWRP splash screen so my phone is pretty much stuck.
did you set correct permissions? another thing I did is flash magisk. other than that it should work as far as I know...

try starting with that. format, not wipe. you have to type in "yes" to confirm. internal sd will be wiped.
flash rom again. adb pull the file, edit it, insert it it attached zip and flash that. download latest magisk and flash that. if that doesnt work, i have no idea, sorry
I can't do any of that because the phone doesn't go in the TWRP menus, it stays at the splash screen.
I've managed to access the phone via adb but I can't access /vendor/etc/. I'm trying to put back the original file in place but when I do adb shell ls /vendor/, the only thing I see is compatibility_matrix.xml, lib64 and manifest.xml.
I'm also looking at the option of flashing the vendor partition with an image file but I can't seem to find the chinese ROM for v8.9.24

now you lost me a bit. twrp splash or xiaomi splash screen?
if twrp, you are accessing twrp system from adb, which is separate from phone. you can try to boot in fastboot and format cache. still you did you format or wipe data before that happened? that is important.
edit: you can also format userdata from fastboot

Yes, TWRP and that's where I'm accessing adb.
Not sure how to format cache in fastboot, I'll look it up
Here are the steps that I did:
1-Copy the file fstab.qcom
2-Modify the copy
3-Boot in TWRP
4-Renamed original fstab.qcom in /vendor/etc to old_fstab.qcom_old
5-Copied the modified fstab.qcom file to /vendor/etc
6-Wipe Data
7-Reboot to system
Since then, I can only reboot to TWRP splash screen or fastboot

as far as i can tell, you did 2 things wrong
1 is you didnt format data
2 didnt set permissions
maybe 3 that backup file.
do this
fastboot format cache
try to reboot into twrp, be sure it doesnt get to booting into system
if this works, backup your sd and format userdata
if that doesnt work, boot into bootloader again
format cache again just to be shure
fastboot format userdata
this should get you to twrp. there you can flash eu again and try to boot. as far as i know eu contains vendor, so you should be fine.
if this doesnt work, the next thing i would try is to fastboot flash stock rom. be sure not to lock bootloader! in this case you might end up with a hard brick.
I'm editing my answer because it crossed your response.
So I'm guessing that Wipe Data isn't the same as format data... As for the permissions, I don't see anything regarding this, can you give me more details?
So I did a format cache and then rebooted and went directly to TWRP but it remains on the splash screen so can't access the menu.
Next step, I'll try to format the userdata as suggested and flash eu rom
maybe reflashing twrp would also help

no problem, im glad you got it working.
Ok so ROM installation is done and I've pulled the fstab.qcom from vendor/etc and it's back with the encryptable variable. Phone reboots in system without any problems, just need to reconfigure everything, good thing I backed up.
I'll still need to encrypt the phone. You've mentioned the steps that I did wrong. Could we go through the proper steps for this?

dont restore the phone yet
edit file
put it in the zip i posted on prevoius page
go in recovery
format userdata->confirm with typing in yes
flash zip
i allways flashed magisk also, not sure if this is necesarry
if you just flash without formatting, you will probably break stuff again
