A straight forward guide on how to flash CWM .... ANYWHERE?
I dont feel I'm a noob.... I've flashed all my phones.... Elf, HD, HD2, Desire.... but this Xoom is about to go out the window!
The instructions to me read "boot to recovery and flash from SD card" ... how do I boot to recovery when thats what I'm trying to install?
I've tried Lord AIO and that will unlock the bootloader, but CWM install flashes past in under a second so I dont think its working... If I try the root it just says it cant find SD card... and of course CWM ROM manger wants Root access.... One click root wont work with UK Xooms...
Anyone got a straight forward guide.... ?:fingers-crossed:
UK Xoom running 4.1.2 wifi...
For example.... TWRP thread ....
Installation instructions (option 1)
Download zip file from link below
Place zip on Micro SDcard
Reboot into existing recovery
HOW? I'm trying to install my first recovery??????
Cold booting ODM? whats that??? I get that if I hold vol + & - together....
Or power and Vol - I get "Starting Fastboot protocol support" - it stays there until I reset it....
Here is how I rooted my xoom and install the initial custom recovery and the install TWRP recovery.
If you already unlocked your bootloader you can skip that step.
follow the directions here but instead of doing step 1 follow this for adb install http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...ged-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid= it is a 1 click adb install then follow from step 2 on.
When you are done there you can install TWRP 2.4 touch screen recovery (a much better recovery than what you used to root.)
Download TWRP2.4 zip and put on the root of your external sd card. ( if you don't have a sd card we will do it another way just let me know)
Boot into recovery by turning your xoom off.
1. press power
2. when the moto dual core logo comes on wait 3 seconds and press volume down
3. recovery should be displayed across the top press volume up.
You can skip steps 1- 3 now that you are rooted if you download Quick Boot open it, select recovery and the grant Super user permission
4. go to install zip from sd card (just like when you rooted) and find the TWRP 2.4 Zip and install
5. reboot your xoom
6. you now have TWRP 2.4 recovery installed.
really appreciate your help but that still doesnt work....
C:\SDK\tools>adb reboot bootloader
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Or from the root....

found the adb - its not in the root of SDK as the guide says.... but still wont flash....

Spent hours on this now.... nothing
Its a UK GED Wifi Xoom... I bought it with ICS on and its done OTA to JB 4.1.2 - so I guess it has already had the bootloader unlocked... I've unlocked it again... so I dont know if that has caused problems...
I've tried following the guides but they seem very disjointed and not easy to follow, is it worth continuing? am I actually going to gain anything?
It would be nice to be able to overclock it as the Xoom is starting to show its age now.......
I'd be most grateful if anyone can help me.......
Google whether your phone can be bootloader unlocked. If it can then the best way (I think) to get cwm and root is to
unlock bootloader.
flash a kernel boot.img in fast boot which has cwm.
Flash a rom which has root

So basically instead of typing fast boot drag it. I and the same goes for the last bit in ur case the cwm img file
Sent from my badass pimped up MiniPro using XDA
easy fix. The folder you have adb installed you need to put fastboot.exe and then run the fastboot command.
It sounds like you don't have all the files you need in the same folder.
did you run the one click adb install method I posted?
don't worry about he sdk part (like i posted use the one click adb install and then skip to step 2 of that thread).
If you follow the steps posted in that thread (skipping the sdk) you will be rooted. And then continue on with the rest of the steps I posted for inbstalling TWRP
Really appreciate your help dfib1.... but now I get....
C:\>cd sdk_tools
C:\SDK_tools>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
C:\SDK_tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
error: cannot load 'recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img'
The disk image file is definitely on the SD card....
OK - I put the disk image in the same folder as the SDK_tools and it appeared to flash... I got..
C:\SDK_tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
sending 'recovery' (3998 KB)... OKAY [ 0.650s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.283s]
finished. total time: 1.935s
But when I hit the vol - 3 seconds after the logo I get "Android Recovery" - I selected it with vol+ but I then get a an Android laying on his back with a red triangle...
that should have put the recovery on your xoom. Did you unlock your bootloader?
try this recovery twrp 2.4 download it and put it in the c:\sdk_tools folder and type
fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.4.1.0.img
then try and reboot into recovery
Cheers dfib1 - managed to get the root done' but the Roms are shockingly bad compaired to stock....:crying:
What roms have you tried? My personal favorites are Black Bean 7 and EOS. The EOS is the smoothest rom I have used with a lot of options to customize it.

Running EOS4 nightly at the mo... probably gonna have to change it... the keyboard has issues and there appears to be alot of lag.... are you using EOS 3?
I am running eos4 right now. I do have the keyboard issue bur I just downloaded a new one from the market until they fix it. As far as the lag I have not seen it but I am also using apex launcher pro. Black bean 7 is having issues with the keyboard and data issues but a new release is coming soon to fix these.
Decided to create this guide because the steps in the threads below didn't work for me.
The Archos 50 Platinum rooting process is slightly different then the Karbonn Titanium S5.
Still, this was very helpful!
[Rooting]Karbonn Titanium S5 general discussions and Rooting help
KARBONN TITANIUM S5 {Rooting/CWM}[UPDATED STOCK ZIP]
STEP 1 - Need
# Enable USB Debugging under developer options
# Drivers (used the file in the internal SDCard "pcdrivers.zip")
# adb-fastboot
# CWM Recovery (IMPORTANT: Not yet the best CWM Recovery for Archos 50, image flickers. But works)
# Stock Recovery (Karbonn Titanium S5 stock recovery. Worked for me)
# Superuser / SuperSU (CWM SUPER USER.zip)
STEP 2 - Preparations
1. Extract "adb-fastboot" to a folder and open a Command Prompt window from there (Didnt need "Run as Administrator").
2. Copy CWM Recovery to ..\adb-fastboot folder and rename it "recovery.img"
3. Copy the "CWM SUPER USER.zip" to the root of the internal or external SDCard.
STEPS 3 - Driver Installation
1. Power off your device, and go into GREEN Recovery
# Press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER KEY -> when you see a GREEN screen release volume up key
SKIP THIS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE DRIVER INSTALLED
2. Install Archos 50 ADB Driver
# Win+R -> devmgmt.msc and update the unknown device "A50" and force the installation (This driver is not digitally signed) to "Fastboot interface (Google USB ID)", driver location should be "..\pcdrivers\drivers\adb_driver\ (win32 or win64)
STEP 4 - Flash CWM Recovery
1. From the folder "adb-fastboot" Command Prompt:
Code:
fastboot devices
This should display your device name in fastboot mode, if nothing is shown, then you have to check previous steps again.
2. Type this command to flash CWM recovery to your phone
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done! CWM Recovery installed.
STEP 5 - SuperSU with CWM (Screen flickers, but easy to follow)
1. Boot into RED Recovery by:
# Press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER KEY
# When you see a GREEN screen DONT release VOLUME UP key
# After 10 seconds you see RED screen, now release VOLUME UP key
2. In CWM Recovery, select "install zip from sdcard" -> "CWM SUPER USER.zip" from SDCard. (Screen Flickers!)
# Reboot
# Done!
After the reboot your phone should be rooted. If not, follow the steps again.
STEP 6 - Revert to Stock Recovery / Unroot (Remember this is from Karbonn Titanium S5. Worked for me)
# Do STEP 4, but replace with the Stock Recovery
# Unroot instructions here. In CWM Recovery!
If theres a easy way, let us all know.
Thanks!
Nice, thanks.
My heart is not yet strong enough to try and maybe fry another phone though (bricked 3 phones while playing around in dangerous areas this year )
try it out guys it should work, its not going to spoil your phone as we just replacing recovery, even of u fail u will have a bootable phone.
In step 3, you can also just type 'adb reboot bootloader' instead of holding the buttons, to boot into fastboot mode
---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------
Here's a much easier way of doing it:
1. preparations + open a cmd window, cd to your adb-fastboot folder
2. 'adb reboot bootloader'
3. 'fastboot devices' (if no devices are present, try option 2 again)
4. 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
5. 'fastboot continue'
6. 'adb reboot recovery'
7. "install zip from sdcard" -> "CWM SUPER USER.zip"
8. 'adb reboot'
---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
Also, this method is working perfectly for me - root, SuperSU and a beautiful, not-flickering CMW Recovery! Only mass storage mode is not working, not in stock recovery nor in CMW recovery.

can you please upload the system part of your cwm back up.
you can compress it using "KGB ARCHIVER" Free to download from CNET it converts 300mb to just 3mb
You can also find that on the website of Arches, in the form of an update.zip package. You can download that here:

Prerequisites:
A Micro USB Cable
A Computer
The keyboard detached from the tablet (So the screen doesn't turn off/go to sleep in the middle of the process)
Windows or Linux
ADB & Fastboot
Intel® USB Driver (If on Windows)
RECOMMENDED: Back up your data from the tablet (Unlocking the bootloader is required and will wipe your data)
SuperSU zip
Ares 8A TWRP Recovery (Was able to boot into the recovery, use the touchscreen, and root the Ares 11A)
Steps:
For both Linux & Windows:
1.) Go to Settings
2.) Tap the build number till it says, you are now a developer (this will unlock the Developer Options)

5.) Power off the device
6.) Hold down
Code:
VOLUME DOWN + Power
till it goes into the bootloader/fastboot screen
7.) Plug in your USB Cable
Windows Users (If you are using Linux skip to the Linux section):
8.) Open a command prompt
9.) Type this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
(If a device doesn't show up, make sure the Intel USB drivers are installed)
10.) Type:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
f(unlocks the bootloader)
11.) Extract the TWRP recovery
12.) Type:
Code:
cd <path to TWRP recovery .img>
13.) Type:
Code:
fastboot boot Ares8A_recovery_twrp.img
14.) On the device tap the Install button
15) Browse to the SuperSU zip and tap it
16.) Swipe to flash it
17.) Reboot your tablet
18.) You are now rooted!
Linux Users:
8.) Open a terminal
9.) Type this command as root or use sudo:
Code:
fastboot devices
10.) Type as root or use sudo:

20.) Go to Developer Options
21.) Make sure the OEM unlocking option is on (DO NOT turn this back off, as it's required to have an unlocked bootloader)
Update
It appears the OEM Unlocking toggle might not need to be turned on to unlock the bootloader, somehow this device accepts an unlock reguardless of the setting in my testing. (It still boots and works perfectly like you took that step)

It's mostly newer devices that work with the unlock command that comes with fastboot, a lot of the older ones require the one you tried (excluding devices that require different unlocking procedure)
I am considering picking up a 10A. I see the 8A root solution works, however there are partition differences between the 8A and the 10A. Does anyone know what can be done in the 8A TWRP and what can not be done? For example, does TWRP make a proper backup image of the factory system? I fear I will format a partition and break the thing beyond repair
Thanks,
it works but...

the 8a root works but make sure to backup your efi data partition with another linux based backup program when you root the new 10A series it erases your emie andefs partiotion making wifi and bluetuth not work after backing up allw twrp and efs data root then restore efs dta and all should work like before LOOK UP MY WIFI DOESNT WORK threads before thrying to get more info I didnt do this so my wifi doesnt work if you could make a full stock twrp back up and post it or sent me it i and many others would really appreciate it

Brickseek shows them locally for $25.00! If so, I will pick up a couple. I may need you to help walk me through backing things up so you can get what you need. If they really have them I will get back to you and we will see if we can get a solid copy of the factory data.

Is your device a laptop 2-in-1 like mine is? If yours doesn't work maybe you could try the procedure for upgrading Android 5.1 to 6.0 ? It's just a thought.

2. Download and install minimal adb and fastboot and put icon on desktop
3. Download the Asus bootloader unlock tool .apk file to your device and install like an application in order to unlock bootloader(follow on-screen messages)
4. Boot device into CSC MODE(fastboot\bootloader) and connect to PC via usb cable. (To boot into CSC MODE , press and HOLD "volume up key+power key")
5. open minmal adb and fastboot and enter the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot devices[/COLOR]
hit enter on keyboard and the serial number of your device SHOULD show in minimal adb window, if it does'nt then you've not installed your Android usb drivers correctly !
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]fastboot flash recovery[/COLOR]
after this command press the SPACE KEY ON KEYBOARD AND DRAG THE "CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE FILE TO THE MINIMAL ADB WINDOW then hit the enter key on your keyboard and Twrp will be flashed .
IMPORTANT !!
After flashing the TWRP file, you should boot directly into recovery by holding VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON do not allow device to boot into home screen at first boot, otherwise stock recovery will be restored !!!
6. After booting into TWRP , FLASH THE ROOT FILE IMMEDIATELY !
WARNING !
if you don't flash the root file once in twrp, you might encounter a bootloop!
some users report a password prompt while in Twrp, just press "cancel" then go to twrp home screen , WIPE-FORMAT DATA, after formatting data , go back to twrp home screen -REBOOT-RECOVERY , after that flash the root file (make sure your root file is on an external sd card .
Just followed instructions word by word and successfully rooted my Asus Max SD 615 !
Thanks !:good:

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

There aren't any custom roms available till now.Try using xposed modules for improved functionality(serves the purpose of custom rom to great extent).

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.
Place the root file on an external sd card.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.

Download the official firmware from Asus website and unpack the zip file, and you'll see the boot.img file there.
Hi XDA. Good Day. I really need your help. I used TWRP and accidentally wipe all the partitions like Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System, Cust and External Storage and after that I got no OS installed. Any idea how to fix this one?

Im facing boot loops, I wanted to install lineage os but my device was not supported, I accidentaly deleted all the memory through twrp, the phone have unlocked bootloader and it can get into fastboot without issues, the adb/fastboot on pc it detects the phone. The one thing which I was unable to do was to get into factory update via holding vol up down and power button
I found the stock firmware rom for my phone here :

You can't go to factory update like above until you flash "stock recovery.img"
Do you have the file named " stock.img " ??

You'll have to flash the official stock recovery.img first
and then you'll be able to install Official Firmware or "Update.app" on your mobile..

1. Now Hold Shift and Right Click (on empty area) and choose open command window here.
2. (On your mobile) Enter into fastboot mode by pressing Volume Down key+Power Key together. (while mobile connected to computer)
3. Now in command prompt: type: fastboot devices to check device connected or not (optional)
4. Now Type: fastboot flash recovery stock.img OR recovery.img (whatever the name of file you downloaded) and hit enter.
5. Flashing will start and done in a few seconds.

If no, then you can download from the official website of Huawei.
If yes, then proceed to following:
Extract the zip file containing "dload\UPDATE.APP" file
Attach SD card to the Computer. Copy the "dload" folder (containing file ) and paste it in the root of SD Card.
Insert SD card into the mobile.
Enter into recovery mode by holding volume and power keys.
Now It will automatically detect the firmware file and begin flashing.
Let it complete and You are Done...

I did so I formated my sd card and then extracted the zip with dload folder into the sd card. After that I removed the sd card and put it back into the phone and then I pushed vol up and vol down and then pushed the power button. after a while the honor screen turned on and after that the recovery emui utility installed the android and that was it! Thank you for helping me to unbrick this device I really appreciate it I wanted it to flash it originally with lineage only because of privacy concerns, would you give me tips on how to make the phone more privacy related? so it will spy on me lesser? I mean is it possible to get near lineage os in terms of privacy?

I'm Sorry! I do not know much about Lineage OS. Once, I tried to flash Lineage OS but got same problem as you.
Later on, I found a complete way, But couldn't do myself due to lack of time. However, Here is the link for step by step guide.

***** One last tip: You should create a backup of your Mobile Data using TWRP recovery.
It will make a backup (of size of about 4.2 GB) of Your Whole "Data and OS" and store it in SD Card (or in your computer.)
Later, whenever you stuck in any problem like before, you can simply restore your phone, it will be restored to the same condition. (along with user data)
