[SOLVED]Boot loop after flashing bad image with fastboot / No fastboot/adb/recovery - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

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.

Stuck on TWRP logo

Hello, my problem here is whenever I wanted to boot to recovery, it got stuck at the TWRP logo and cannot enter the recovery. Can anybody help? I already tried to flash it manually with the latest image and it still brings the same problem.

Did you follow the instructions to flash TWRP step-by-step?
*(Before starting, rename your TWRP image to twrp-recovery.img for convenience)
*This step is optional
Put your device into fastboot
Connect it to your PC
Open an adb command window
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
Then once it's done, you can disconnect your device and turn it off.
Once it's off, you can boot into recovery mode, and you should be able to access the recovery menu.
Cheers!

My OP3 won´t boot into recovery even after flashing stock image via fastboot

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

ROOT Elephone S7 4gb on Windows 10x64 at last!

For those that, like me, could not get driver recognition on the latest Win 10 x64 no matter what you tried. And ,yes, using every tutorial I could find on this and two "other Forums". Odin failed to see my device (still can't) Cydia impactor allows rebooting into fastboot and D/L but doesn't connect in either alt. mode. Yes, drivers all removed and replaced in varying states (usbdeview, etc.).
But ADB/Fastboot works!
Make sure you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed universally (Check this Fabulous Forum)
Download device-specific TWRP - I used this one for the 4gb version - https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7u3k1mgpppxlyx/recovery.img?dl=0
L.Shift-R. click in the folder you downloaded to (Open Command Window Here) - "adb devices" (to make sure device registers) then - "adb reboot bootloader" gets you into fastboot. - "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
I got a fully functional TOUCH CAPABLE TWRP. Which I proceeded to load this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1owqv7mjkdpo75/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?dl=0 - and, VOILA! ROOT!!
I had similar issues with my laptop and drivers. Used a friend laptop in the end to "see" the phone and install twrp.

When I try to boot the recovery.img with fastboot it says that my OEM is locked. I check OEM unlock in developer options, then I do: adb reboot bootloader, then fastboot oem unlock. A warning appears saying to press VOLUME UP button to continue, voiding the warranty or VOLUME DOWN to go back. I try to press VOLUME UP and nothing happens... how did you do it?

Hi there, I have the same issue. No success
I found a way, instead of volume up, use the home button this worked for me.. however after I unlocked the OEM and flashed TWRP the phone didn't want to boot anymore. It was stuck on Elephone logo with warning: "Orange State: The phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5s", however it didn't boot and stayed like that for almost an hour. Had to flash back the stock firmware to boot. Tried 1 more time the procedure to root but again the same. Maybe I do something wrong?
stock fw flash back
Hi, please can you help me with how you flashed back the stock firmware?
I get an error message with twrp : invalid zip file format.
Thank you in advance!

I read somewhere the is a zip inside the update.zip & is that one that is flash able with twrp.
Have a look
During the main time I managed to flash the 0218 stock rom.
I still got the orange message but the phone finally boot. Then I just called the twrp recovery img via atb. I did nothing only touch the reboot in the twrp screen and since then "Orange status...." again.
May be the twrp recovery img is not the right one...
Bad command "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
after OEM alow (informacion phone/compilacion number touch fast 9 times/access/alow oem)
fastboot oem unlock
"fastboot boot {your-recovery-name}.img" for me is fastboot boot recovery.img and all OK
bat still not working (phone not thrust unlocked bootloader cleaning data in 5..4..3..2..1.. and rebot)

Unable to Install any TWRP Image on my Nokia 6.1 (2018) - Getting Stuck on Splash Screen

Hi Team,
I have an spare Nokia 6.1 (2018) smartphone (Model # - TA -1089)) at my home which I wasn't using since 2-3 years.
Today, I got hands on it, and tried to use it for my development needs.
To begin with, I unlocked its boot-loader using this guide to unlock Nokia 6.1 (2018)
and within "Developer Options", I can see that the "OEM Unlocking" option reads - "Bootloader is already unlocked."
Now, as a next step, I am trying to install TWRP recovery, but nothing seems to be working. No matter which image I try, I get stuck on the TWRP splash screen.
I have tried TWRP Images from the following websites and many more:
TWRP.me
Get Droid Tips - Here when I click on the "Download" option, I get redirected to the "TWRP.me" website only, whose images are not working.
In addition, I have ensured that "ADB and Fastboot" + "Nokia USB Drivers" & other contingencies are properly installed on my system & are not the underlying issue.
I tried running the code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and my phone got stuck on the TWRP splash screen. Ultimately, I had to use OSA tool and flash the STOCK ROM to get my device working again.
Many websites suggested to simply boot the TWRP and so I used this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
in the "Download" mode and then again, nothing happened and I got stuck on the TWRP splash screen.
Note: The only difference between above two commands being - my stock recovery worked fine after executing the 2nd command, and I could boot into my device without much trouble.
Here's my Device Overview:
Device Name - Nokia 6.1
Model & hardware = TA-1089
OS version - Android 10
Security Patch Level - May 1, 2020
Build Number - 00WW_4_15c
Can someone now please suggest where I could be going wrong?
What's my goal:
Root Nokia 6.1 & to be able to install Custom ROM's on Nokia 6.1 and use that device for development purposes
and in case anything goes wrong,
Flash the STOCK ROM again using OSA Tool and bring the device back to its current state.

Hi @White_devil_04200
Thank you for redirecting me to this Telegram channel.
However, let me share that - On the channel, I found "twrp-3.3.1-1-PL2.img" listed as the TWRP image that works.
The conflict is that - I downloaded this version only from multiple sites & after flashing it, got stuck on TWRP splash screen. I had to use OSA tool to reflash Android OS & restore the stock recovery.
And, when I ran the code -
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
, then also I got stuck on the splash screen, but was able to reboot into the OS successfully.
Note: Also, I tried switching the slots too (from 'a' to 'b' or vice versa') but then also, nothing worked for me.
I hope you get my problem, and would now assist me accordingly.
this is how i use twrp on nokia 6 2018 (since i unlocked it):
1. connect my phone with download mode to my pc:
2. run 2 code lines:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
3. and done.
The only disadvantage of this way is that every time I go to twrp, I have to run those 2 code lines with my pc. Still, it worked (at least for me).
You can try my twrp version.

Thanks @Bảo Dora for sharing your TWRP file and for the instructions.
I was finally able to boot into TWRP (used another file, of course), and then successfully get "root" access on my device.
Also, I read that if you execute the command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you shall permanently install TWRP on your device, which may or may not be the first preference of many users.
Having said that, am glad that it worked out for you. However, I still prefer to use just the "boot" command to avoid changing my stock recovery.
Thanks for your help again.
Cheers,
Manu
For potential readers of this thread, I would like to explain one thing here.
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" does NOT change your stock recovery on Nokia 6.1. Because this phone has "A/B system updates" and due to that the recovery RAM disk is now contained in the boot.img file. So Nokia 6.1 has not recovery partition so if you execute the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command it only shows an error message and nothing is changed on your device.
Common issue on Nokia 6.1 is that when you execute only this one command "fastboot boot twrp.img" then it stucks on androidone logo.
But for some special reason, if you execute "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img" it successfully boots into TWRP recovery.
Really there is nothing to worry about. This procedure is safe and really works.

Let me try and find that file link again bro. It's been time I performed the root process, so I will have to search for it.
Will share it with you at the earliest.

Recovering data on a DEAD Redmi Note 8 PRO

Hello,
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I've been using a Note 8 Pro with zero issues until one week ago when I accidentally dropped the phone in the water.
After a few seconds submerged the display turned off and I felt an intense heat coming from the zone of the battery.
Having no chance to recover the phone (tried with Isopropyl Alcohol too) I decided to open it and manually dry/clean each component, having seen the situation inside gave me the phone is dead but I still want to recover some pictures/data from it.
Before opening the open Minitool was not detecting any device on my Windows Laptop, after cleaning each component Minitool is instead detecting the phone via USB, but I still can't extract any data because the "Usb debugging" option is not tuned on (and no the device is not rooted).
Is there any option to extract data from the phone? There's a way to turn on USB Debugging via ADB on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks,
Andrea.
how about trying your luck with a service ? most of the time they do have access to special programs, which have a better functionality than adb.
Thanks for the hint, but I am not happy with the idea of someone playing with my data
1. Try reboot phone to recovery
2. Connect it to your computer (download Platform-tools)
3. In the folder with Platform-tools open cmd
4. In cmd - adb shell
5. cd storage/emulated/0
6. ls
7. Now, using the commands, drag files from your phone to your PC
Thanks for your hint.
No luck so far, I think because the phone is not in recovery mode.
I can hear the phone starting up several times (hear the jingle) so I think it's in a reboot loop and I don't know how to boot it into recovery mode wo a working display (tried with power/volume up combination with no luck).
From the windows taskbar I can see that the phone is recognized for a few seconds before it restarts.
EDIT: trying to switch the phone on with the combination "power/volume down" brings to a kind of stable state and I can now see the phone in the windows taskbar recognized as a generic "android device". Still no luck when trying to access the phone as there's no device in windows and no device obtained through "adb devices" command.
EDIT1: I think that the phone is in "FASTBOOT" mode. If I type "fastboot devices" I can see it detected but still can't access it.
Any idea? Should I give up?
If it's popping up and down you need something to keep track.
You can try my UsbLog.exe (in the sig), it just sits there and shows what devices appear (if they have a driver) and disappear.
Try these to see if anything is working:
Code:
C:\>fastboot devices
C:\>fastboot getvar all
C:\>fastboot oem device-info
Yes it's popping up and down when it's booted in recovery mode whilst is stably connected when in fastboot mode but in this case I can't access the internal memory of the device.
I didn't get the purpose of logging the devices connecting to the USB as I can see the device connected for a while and correctly recognized as Redmi Note 8 pro but as it keeps popping out windows have no time to show it's folder.
As for the code you wrote: i will try asap but already tried with "fastboot devices" and I get the phone correctly listed but still can't access its memory as told.

After rebooting the phone in fastboot mode I can see it recognized as a generic android device from windows (still can't access the storage folder of the device).
fastboot devices----> I get the device listed with a series of numbers/letters
fastboot getvar all---> I get a list of information on token/token version/partition type and size/baseband/bootloader etc.
fastboot oem device-info----> FAILED (remote: unknown command)
So I think it's clear that the device is in Fastboot mode and instead is in a boot loop when started in revocery mode.
Is there a way to extract data from fastboot mode?
Thanks,
Andrea.
If you put a custom recovery on it in the first place you can try reflashing recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot doesn't allow you to read anything.
oem device-info is obviously an oem command that might not be on any device.
You've got a Mediatek processor. That has some low level equivalent to Qualcomm EDL, but I have no experience with that.
If you can get there you can download the user data partition, but it's probably encrypted. Also no experience with that.
The easiest is if you can get the system to mount/decrypt the partition.
You've tried the normal system too?
Is this A/B? Have you tried changing slots?
How much time does it stay up in recovery? Do you have ADB? Maybe try:
Code:
# stop recovery
Does that prevent it from looping?
So I should try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP for example?
What you mean with "normal system too"?
Changing slots you mean changing usb port?
It stays in recovery less than one second so I can't give any command via ADB.
EDIT: cant' flash any custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.
If I Try to unlock the bootloader via MiUnlock I get a warning saying that all data will be erased.
Any idea on how to unlock the bootloader wo wiping all the data?

Thank you very much.
Now I am going to try to flash a custom recovery mode via fastboot in order to access the internal memory of the phone.
EDIT: I've just flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-begonia.img but still can't boot into recovery mode.
Any hint on how to extract data from the system now?
You really want to boot the normal system because that's the best way to get decrypted data.
I realized that you don't have ADB enabled there.
You should look at B. Kerler's https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/
If you can pull the boot image off your device then I might be able to fix it so that you have ADB.
You'd have to flash it back in fastboot or mtkclient.
You can also pull a copy of userdata off the device with mtkclient.
As far as booting into recovery, there's a way.
Here's how, if you don't have A/B (that is you flashed TWRP into recovery and not recovery_a or recovery_b)
then you can fastboot flash a special file into the misc partition and it wil boot into recovery next reboot.
To return things to normal you have to flash the empty file to the misc partition.
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash misc misc-rec.img
C:\>fastboot reboot
Only do this if you don't have partitions that end in _a or _b
I really don't know if I have partitions A and B as you mentioned and I think there's no way to check actually.
I confirm I don't have "USB Debugging" active on the phone.
So if I understand correctly I should do the following:
- Flash misc-reg.img via Fastboot
- Boot into recovery just rebooting the system after flashing the above file;
- use MTKclient to dump userdata or boot image to enable ADB on (I will need help with mtkclient I suppose).
Is it correct?
EDIT: flashed TWRP first and misc-rec then rebooted via Fastboot/Reboot but nothing happens.

1/Yeah it's official. You "flashed correct TWRP." Downgrade to Miui Android 9 (_9 in it's name) to boot into that TWRP and lose your data.
2/In unlock bootloader video above, search other video in his channel playlist and find TWRP video suitable for your Miui version.

Can't find the right video, can you kindly send me a link (I am on the latest Miui version and I am in Europe)?
In all the videos I've seen on his page he is using the device to install TWRP etc.
I think I just need the correct TWRP version for my MIUI release and then I'll flash TWRP and misc-reg.img. Is it right?
