I recently rolled back to the factory image to install the OTA 4.4 update (Sprint). I had an unlocked bootloader prior to the update and when I boot into recovery my device tells me I'm unlocked. I downloaded the TWRP image and used the following command from the boot loader:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
When I run that command (I also tried "fastboot" in addition to mfastboot), it looks like everything worked OK but when I choose the "recovery" option from the bootloader my device boots into Android instead of into the recovery rom. When I try:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
My device displays the "No Command" recovery screen, as if it were booted using the stock Android recovery image instead of TWRP.
Am I missing a step somewhere to get TWRP on my device?

So after flashing recovery did you try to access twrp prior to rebooting to the system?

Yes. I've tried accessing recovery directly from the fastboot menu immediately after flashing.

OK, you're going to hate this but you need to rsdlite your carriers kitkat sbf firmware, its happened to more than a few people including me, recovery just won't stick after taking an ota for some folks

Your suggestion worked. I didn't have easy access to a Windows machine so I couldn't use rsdlite. I had to manually reset to stock. For anyone who stumbles upon this thread, these are the steps I used which worked for me:
Make sure adb and fastboot from the Android SDK are already part of your PATH.
Download moto-fastboot for Mac OS X
Download the Kitkat 4.4 update for Sprint (Make sure to download the version that matches the build number from "Settings -> About Phone" in your device)
Download the Kitkat 4.4 version of TWRP
Extract the factory image .zip to a folder
Copy the moto-fastboot binary to the folder you extracted the factory image to and rename it to "mfastboot"
Copy the TWRP .img file to the folder with the factory image files
Create a file named "factoryreset.sh" and paste the following as its contents
Code:
#!/bin/sh
FASTBOOT=./mfastboot
$FASTBOOT getvar max-download-size
$FASTBOOT oem fb_mode_set
$FASTBOOT flash partition gpt.bin
$FASTBOOT flash motoboot motoboot.img
$FASTBOOT flash logo logo.bin
$FASTBOOT flash boot boot.img
$FASTBOOT flash recovery recovery.img
$FASTBOOT flash system system.img
$FASTBOOT flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$FASTBOOT erase modemst1
$FASTBOOT erase modemst2
$FASTBOOT flash fsg fsg.mbn
$FASTBOOT erase cache
$FASTBOOT erase userdata
$FASTBOOT erase customize
$FASTBOOT erase clogo
$FASTBOOT oem config carrier sprint
$FASTBOOT oem fb_mode_clear
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory you created
On your device, navigate to "Settings -> About Phone" and tap on the build number 7 times to enable developer mode
Go back to the main "Settings" screen, open "Developer Options", and enable USB Debugging
Connect your device to your computer. Go back to your device, make sure you choose to trust your computer to use ADB in the dialog that pops up, then run the following command from your terminal
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Once your device is in fastboot mode, run the command
Code:
sh factoryreset.sh
From the device choose to boot normally and wait for it to finish booting completely.
Run the command
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode again, run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
From your device, power up normally then reboot into the recovery. If everything went smoothly you'll boot into TWRP recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

well, you are doing it wrong for a nexus owner, you dont need a root toolkit. to root m you need to flash any custom kernel for m as well as the latest supersu(as well as the latest twrp recovery so you can flash a custom kernel and supersu).
Don't use Root kits and follow these steps. Start from step 1 if you already have your bootloader unlocked and if you have SDK tools installed (adb and fastboot). And you should be fine...
yes wont let me install recovery TWRP

thats because you dont use adb for this. you have to use fastboot while you are in your recovery. read that again, FASTBOOT instead of ADB. you always use fastboot to flash the factory image or any part of it, or twrp recovery.
simms, the command he posted that failed WAS fastboot.
HOWEVER, if adb is reporting devices, you are likely either booted to android or recovery... reboot to the bootloader
(turn off device, then hold volume down and while holding vol down press and hold power until the device boots to the bootloader mode.
Make sure that you have twrp in the same folder, and that you have renamed it to recovery.img (not .img.img as a lot of people accidently do) That last part isn't completely necessary, as its really just "fastboot flash recovery <file name>", and you can replace <file name> with the name of the recovery image it doesn't HAVE to be recovey.img, and it doesn't have to be in the same folder if you include path... but people find it easier to just rename it to recovery.img, copy it to their platform tools folder and use the command you ran.
ahh.. yea @scryan i didnt see that fastboot was used(later in the post). now i see hes uding adb devices instead of fastboot devices.
As far as I can see, you are trying to flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while not in bootloader (or you didn't copy everything you did).
You should:
1. adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot into bootloader)
2. now you can write "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is recognized
2. then if it's there: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
EDIT: If you still did everything correctly, quick google search said it could be problem with computer's USB port. Try another port...
I have tried every port on my pc some give unrecognized USB error while others work. If I am able to charge and transfer files along with send adb commands (restart phone,adb sees my phone) does that rule out the USB cable? I bought a pack of four on ebayhttp://m.ebay.com/itm/4x-6Ft-Micro-USB-Charger-Sync-Data-Cable-Nylon-Braided-for-Samsung-Galaxy-HTC-/221891441910?txnId=1650092351012
I no longer have the cable I used to flash marshmallow but I did use this to unlock the device.
Well I have tried to install MIUI ROM 6.5.26 after not processing updates for months (since november).
So I downloaded latest ROM and put it to the top of the partitions and then I wiped everything and that's where i might have done a mistake: I wiped internal storage (inside TWRP 2.8.7 i found there http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-...timizing-leo-miui-advanced-tweaks-to-t3286972) then I might have might done a second mistake: I have done the command fastboot 'flash boot boot.img' as I read on an old HTC forum.
Then I pushed the latest ROM to the phone (as it was not there after the wipes) and when I tried installing it, it gave E: unable to mount 'cache' .
Now it seems i cannot enter TWRP, only Fastboot or I am stuck with MI logo.
I just want to install latest ROM, as I have done Titanium Backup before all the mess.
I don't know where i should start.
I am on mac so cannot use Mi Flash

you wiped internal sd so you have nothing the only way to solve is

Extract it to the same directory you extracted ADB/Fastboot
Press "Windows key + X" -> "Command Prompt (administrator)
In command prompt, go to your folder where your ADB/Fastboot are, assuming they are in C:\Fastboot, you type
> cd C:\Fastboot
> C:
10. Once in the "C:\Fastboot" folder, you will need to issue a chain of commands to flash critical images, so type:
C:\Fastboot>fastboot devices
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash tz tz.mbn

Download the fastboot ROM for your Mi phone and place it on your desktop. Double-click on it and Archive Utility will extract the file on the desktop, so you'll get a folder,
now go to terminal an type
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
In order to use the fastboot scripts, you should go to the folder. For that purpose, execute the following command (the folder name may be different in your case, the example below is for cancro):
cd ~/Desktop/cancro_global_images_V7.0.5.0.KXDMICI_20151016.0000.3_4.4_global
Copy the Code
Quick tip: you don't need to write the whole folder name, just type cd ~/Desktop/cancro, then press the Tab key and Terminal will append the folder name automatically.
Once inside, you need to make the scripts (all the files with .sh extension) executable. Execute the following command:
chmod +x ./*.sh
Now, the scripts are ready to use. In order to start the process, issue one of the following commands:
./flash_all.sh
or
./flash_all_except_storage.sh
or
./flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
When you start any of the scripts, you'll see the fastboot messages, flowing through the Terminal window. Once the script has done its work, the phone will restart itself automatically.
When I change directory for the fastboot ROM directory, the fastboot screen on my phone disappears. I have done the steps after that but i see no message on the terminal or the phone screen. My phone screen is black.
Edit: In fact the fastboot screen on my phone disappears when I type fastboot oem edl in my terminal although i get the message OKAY in my terminal.

Another method for unbricking EMUI 9 devices. For advanced users (not mentioning links to TWRP, to FullOTA factory images... there are other threads dedicated to that). Tested on Mate 20 Pro.
This method should help when:
1. Device has bootloader unlocked (unusable for locked bootloaders)
2. System fails to boot. HiSuite (HSTool) restore method does not work (fails in stage "Install recovery") nor does DLOAD method work (after VolUp+VolDn+Pwr action system continues booting or ends in 5% Installation and bootloops).
3. Fastboot mode is working
The reason might be wiped/corrupted eRecovery paritition.
Huge credits and thanks to @OldDroid for having educated me about eRecovery and about flashing it.

1. Download FullOTA factory image
2. Extract UPDATE. APP file
3. Extract ERECOVERY_KERNE.img, ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img, ERECOVERY_VENDO.img, ERECOVERY_VBMET.img (guide:
OpenKirin - guide to extract partition images)
4. Boot into fastboot
5. Install and boot TWRP (
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
)
6. Copy (e.g. via MTP, while connected to the computer) the 4 previously extracted images to internal storage or SD
7. Enter TWRP shell and execute:
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/
8. Check partition names, in case of Mate 20 Pro they are:
Code:
erecovery_kernel /dev/block/sdd37
erecovery_ramdisk /dev/block/sdd38
erecovery_vbmeta /dev/block/sdd53
erecovery_vendor /dev/block/sdd39
9. Copy the extracted files into corresponding partitions:
Code:
dd if=./ERECOVERY_KERNE.img of=/dev/blck/sdd37
dd if=./ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img of=/dev/blck/sdd38
dd if=./ERECOVERY_VENDO.img of=/dev/blck/sdd39
dd if=./ERECOVERY_VBMET.img of=/dev/blck/sdd53
10. Reboot to fastboot and flash stock recovery via
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stock_recovery.img
Now you should be good to go for DLOAD (recommended for soft-brick recovery) and HSTool methods.
Would this be for Error mode?
func no : 11 (recovery image)
error no : 2 (load failed!)
This error is what happens when I try Dload.

Depends on what is actually broken. If the error is caused by a broken eRecovery image, than this could help. I can't tell, the error codes displayed tell me nothing. One can also update eRecovery if it is extracted from a more recent firmware - e.g. EMUI 9.1.
