so u did root. u unlocked bootloader. u flashed a recovery and u installed a new rom. one day u start "digging" things to see if u can delete all the unwanted files so u make the phone faster and accidentally u deleted an important file and now it cant boot and it cant go into recovery. you are wondering what you CAN do now ! The answer is : Everything !
You can either go back to stock rom or
you can re-flash the recovery and then reinstall the rom.
1. Download the platform tools for your machine ( windows , linux or mac-os ). Here i have the adb fastboot for you.
2. Copy the recovery image to a location on your computer thats easier for you. The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it before proceeding.
3. Connect the phone to the pc and open cmd inside the fastboot folder you downloaded ( windows ). The others not on windows must use cd [path to their desktop,inside the platform tools where they see the adb file].
** If you are on a boot loop but the pc gets to recognize the phone even for a second then
4. Type
i) adb reboot-bootloader
ii) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( the command is: fastboot flash recovery [recovery image path/filename] )
5. When its done , reboot. Hold Volume down and power button to see if u get in recovery mode. :highfive:
Install the rom now the way you already know. There are many guides for that so i won't make a new.
cheers :good:
**Windows users can use this fastboot to unlock bootloader too. Lite fastboot commands guide provided here
**Linux users don't even need to download it , they can just directly download it from their terminal
I hope this thread helps a little those that dont know what to do when they delete an important file. *Pictures coming soon*

its working 100% thanks for ur guide
NOTE: This post was firstly added to the Xperia Z2 Forum and I decided to post it here as well thinking it might help someone else.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/magisk-stock-xperia-z2-d6503-safety-net-t3700786
Firstly, I do not take any responsability in case anything happens to your device or your files. You decided to follow this guide at your own risk.
THIS WORKED FOR ME FOR MAGISK v14.3
ALSO WORKS ON MAGISK v14.5
I highly not recommend to use this guide for a different device other than the Xperia Z2 D6503.
All that aside, I managed to install magisk on my Stock Xperia Z2 and still keep ctsProfile and basicIntegrity: true.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO BACK EVERYTHING UP BEFORE PROCEEDING
You will need:
(OPTIONAL)Marshmallow FTF Firmware Here
(OPTIONAL)Flashtool Here
Magisk Manager Here
Rootkernel_v4.31_Windows_Linux.zip Here
ADB and Fastboot Here
Advanced Stock Kernel Here
TWRP Sirius Here
(OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) Use flashtool to flash the modified version of the stock ROM from above. It worked on this version but I can't really guarantee it will work on others. Can't really guarantee it will work on this either.(after you select the file there are 2 versions. pick the modified one).
1) Extract the Rootkernel_v4.31_Windows_Linux.zip and extract from the advanced stock kernel the boot.img (Rename it from boot.img to Old_boot.img)
2) Open cmd and use cd to reach the folder in which you extracted rootkernel.
Use the command "rootkernel Old_boot.img New_boot.img"
Say Yes to everything except installing TWRP.
3) Install Magisk Manager on your phone and copy "New_boot.img" to the phone.
4) Go to Magisk Manager settings , scroll to Update Channel and select Beta
5) Select install Magisk and select modify boot image. Select "New_boot.img" from the folder you copied it to
6) Extract adb to a folder
7) After patching the boot image at step 6, copy "patched_boot.img" from internal storage/MagiskManager to the folder in which you extracted adb
8) Copy TWRP to the adb folder and rename it to TWRP.img
9) Open cmd and use cd to navigate to the folder in which you copied adb. Type in the console "fastboot flash boot New_boot.img". Turn off your phone and then hold Volume Up whil plugging it into your pc(booting it into fastboot).
10) While still in fastboot, type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img"
11) Disconnect your phone from the pc. Wait a few seconds and then boot into TWRP (hold power button and Volume Down). A notification will pop up and select to "Keep System Readonly" (I think something like that). Reboot into system.
If everything worked as intended, a safetynet check will reveal everything in green, allowing you to both have root access and also run apps like Netflix and Android Pay
NOTE: Magisk Modules should be flashed via TWRP. For some reason, Magisk Manager is unable to install them.
EDIT: I tried to install xposed systemlessly but Safetynet was triggered. Don't think I can figure this out.
This worked for me but I can't guarantee it will work for you. (Photos at the end)
Did this guide help you? If you need any help, I will do my best to answer your questions.
I am not a developer and I do not really understand why or how everything works. I came across this method that worked for me and I thought I'd share it since I couldn't find a guide for my xperia phone when I needed it.
IN CASE SAFETY NET IS TRIGGERED, the only way to restore to everything in green is to reflash the stock rom (you don't have to format everything).
Did it work out for you? Just leave a reply saying that so I can figure out if everything works.

hi
Does it work for Magisk18?
Hello,
I have a mi A2 device that I unlocked it and flashed TWRP on it. I flashed TWRP on both slots and everything was ok.
After that, my USB board or charging board damaged for unknown reasons and the repairman could not fix it, Also, its charging board is very rare in my area and I can't find it.
So, my phone is never detected by PC but it can be charged, and I can't use fastboot commands.
A few days ago without knowing that DotOS has dedicated recovery, I flashed it with TWRP on slot A, and now I can't use TWRP on slot A anymore. But I think the TWRP is still installed on the slot B.
I really need root my device, so please help me.
1- Is there anyway to change slots without fastboot?
2- Can I install TWRP from anyway other than fastboot?
I tried to install TWRP zip file from DotOS recovery but it does not accept any file except DotOs official updates.
I can use adb commands with wireless debugging feature in android 11.
DotOS recovery options (Advanced option Does not include a useful option, just include reboot options and view logs)

1. Download dotos offical update
2. Download the twrp in .img form
3. Rename twrp to recovery.img
4. Put the recovery.img into the dotos zip. If it asks to replace file, just replace it
5. Flash

DotOS not include recovery.img in zip file, but it installed recovery too.
Does this solution still works?
DotOS zip file:
Oh no the dotos recovery and system is compressed in the payload bin file
What will happen if you delete the payload.bin and replace it with the twrp recovery.img

Not works, can't flash
So can you boot into system
And did you adb sideload?

I can't use adb sideload in recovery, because of damaged usb, I can boot system but can't use sideload command in system
If you are going from MIUI 12 (or later) Weekly ROM to MIUI 12 Stable ROM, you are doing a downgrade, so format data is mandatory!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
First of all unlock bootloader of your device . Search net for more info.
After this install adb drivers from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...reborn-v2-0-adb-fastboot-and-drivers.3854109/

Connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc.
Go into device manager , right click on unrecognized android device , choose update drivers , let me pick from a list of drivers , select adb drivers, android bootloader interface and click install.
