I've been trying to flash TWRP recovery to my rooted LG G3 D855 (running 4.4.2 KitKat). I used the "Bump" method (thread) since I don't have an unlocked bootloader.
I tried the ADB method in that thread, I tried the Flashify method, and I tried the Official TWRP App. Each time, the recovery flashed correctly. But when I attempted to reboot into recovery (using the method in the linked thread, or in the case of the apps, they prompted me to reboot into recovery), my phone didn't bring up TWRP recovery or even the stock recovery. It just brings up "fastboot mode started". It's not stuck though, it boots normally when I pull the battery and power on.
I also separately tried rebooting it into fastboot mode with it plugged into my computer. When I entered "adb devices" into the command prompt, the device came up. Then I rebooted it into fastboot mode and entered "fastboot devices" - then nothing came up. I entered some other fastboot commands and it said "< waiting for device >". So it appears I can't issue normal fastboot commands either.
Any thoughts on how I can succesfully flash TWRP? Thanks.
i have installed my TWRP via this app -- https://ulozto.sk/!lisJevpDG1oS/recovery-d722l-apk

Well, somehow you failed to install it. Upgrade to LP (preferably v21C) and try this

Hey. I was using a 5.0.1 GPE Rom on my M8 and decided to update both the firmware and the rom to 5.1
I Backed everything up and decided to, as usual, use adb to sideload the firmware to the phone. I did and everything went as expected. After I finished I rebooted to android. I get NFC service stopped working, System UI stopped working and I can't interact with the phone. My thought, well let's go to the recovery and flash a rom I have in my external SD card. No recovery to be found just a android guy belly up with a red ! sign on his belly.
So I thought, I lost my recovery due to the firmware flash, I had happened before, So i went online found a TWRP recovery and went to flash it. Reboot to fastboot USB mode, but then in adb I cannot see the device at all. "adb devices" shows and empty list. I tried my windows 7 laptop to the same result.
Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me, I'm kinda freaking out at this point and am running out of options

When in fastboot mode - run command fastboot devices
No adb when in fastboot mode
To flash a recovery (unlocked bootloader)
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Sometimes some outside thought can be just ridiculasly helpfull when you are stuck in a tiny issue.
Thank you so much Kind sir, my heart rate thanks you aswell.
What a silly mistake
I think I bricked my G3 :/
I tried usual methods but couldn't get into recovery or download mode, then a few days ago I realized I could get it into this fastboot mode by holding volume up and plugging into USB as you would normally do to get into download mode but you have to hold up for a minute or so (it shows the download mode icon for a few seconds and then goes to fastboot) when in fastboot it connects to the computer and shows in device manager as "android device" and the phone says "processing commands" So I tried to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 to return it to stock, but I couldn't get it to show up in the LG software.
I read some forum posts about fastboot mode and found that by using the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" (the recovery image I downloaded) in command prompt it would send it to the phone and the phone would display some info and then reboot into TWRP, from here I tried to install a correct rom but the installation starts and there are some errors and then it hangs. I also tried the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but it fails. This is as far as I have got with it.
It came to me in this condition but the previous owner said he was running Cyanogen and it was working fine until he tried to update it with a nightly build. I suspect he might've tried to install the wrong rom for the phone or the rom was corrupt.
ou could try to revive the phone doing a testpoint and then use boarddiag tools (look in xda thread).
Here is how to make a testpoint: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65002893&postcount=17
Hi everyone,
I´ve been trying to install twrp recovery in my Huawei Ascend P6 via fastboot. I followed this "techglen adb and fastboot guide"
I already installed everything needed for adb conection.
So I connect my phone in MTP mode and use "adb devices" and my device appears normally, but the problem happens when I reboot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode and use "Fastboot devices" it appears a device conected but with a bunch of "?????" and a smiley face at the end like this:
C:\Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
123456789 device --------> bunch of numbers appear normally
C:\Fastboot>adb reboot bootloader --------> Phone restarts into bootloader mode (shows huawei ascend logo)
C:\Fastboot>fastboot devices
????????_?_???_?<??????? fastboot ----------> WTF (this is exactly what appears)
I would like to know if there's something wrong with my phone
Should I proceed and flash the custom recovery?
I have stock android 4.4.2 (rooted with kingroot) and stock recovery.
I am a total noob at this so I need your help :crying: I dont want to do anything stupid. (If already did let me know lol)
I have the same issue. Problem is that phone is bricked, so I can only enter in recovery (official, unrooted, unlocked) and fastboot mode.
Have you managed to solve or have some hint?
I have experienced a inconsistency while using minimal adb and fastboot. While device not showing i could send command and the phone would respond. After going into bootloader and while my device wasn't shown in the list i could flash twrp without much trouble, helped me go back from being stuck on bootanimation. used the command fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img (where xxx is the name recovery name). If you can get into boot loader try fastboot reboot bootloader and if the phone responds you might be in the same situation i was.
Always remember: Messing with recoveries bootloaders and boot images might make your phone unusable so do it at your own risk
Have you actually tried to flash twrp? Did you put the img file of twrp to the minimal adb and fastboot folder? If so, try the commands 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img(<-- use the name of twrp file here, so not the exact name wrote here) and reboot. My phone is a bunch of question marks as well and it flashed twrp just perfectly (I got it frome here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632542)
Hello everyone,
i think my OP3 is bricked, cuz after i wanted to install new custom ROM with TWRP it went south. When I swiped to install the ROM it showed, it´s corrupt so i wanted so i wanted to push some other .zip to the phone through adb, but no device showed after adb devices or fastboot devices in fastboot. So I tried restore phone from backup i had via TWRP and the phone just wouldnt boot. Oneplus logo showed for a few seconds then it disappears and phone goes dark. Have to hold start button for 10 sec for hard restart phone and then i can go only to fastboot (now it will show fastboot devices in command line). Recovery won´t boot. Tried flashing stock recovery, some versions of TWRP and still just OP logo and dark.
Thanks for every help.
I think for:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery_of_ur_choice.img
on flashboot mode obviously ^^
With that, u must have access to twrp
Hi guys,
I tried to flash TWRP on my Wiko Lenny 4 earlier.
I used adb and fastboot to flash it, however the touchscreen wouldn't work and I was stuck at the "swipe to allow kernel modifications" screen in TWRP. No problem, I reboot in recovery mode, and switched to fastboot mode.
I found another TWRP image and, after flashing with
-> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I typed another command,
- >fastboot boot twrp.img.
Since then I am stuck at the Wiko boot screen, saying:
Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted (initially I unlocked OEM)
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
Whatever combination of power+vol up/down I try to use, it only reboots to this screen.
adb won't reconize any device, as well as fastboot. And both are up-to-date.
Perhaps there exists a recovery image that I can put on my sd card, and hopefully it will automatically boot on the sd card as I don't have any control right now.
If someone has an idea, please tell me.
thanks
[EDIT] Solved
Using this link https://aiomobilestuff.com/how-to-unbrick-wiko-stock-firmware-via-wiko-official-site/
I was able to download Wiko's recovery tool from https://customer-world.wikomobile.com/
After unzipping and starting the software, it automatically installed drivers (I guess, if it does not, mediatek usb wiko drivers can be used instead) and downloaded the software into the phone which works now.
