[Q] Cant load Reovery from fastboot

I "attempted" to root my NS following these directions:
I. Before You Begin
1. This will unlock your phone’s bootloader (so you can flash recoveries and ROMs), and can be undone very easily (unlike the Nexus One).
2. This WILL ERASE all your information on the phone.
II. Setup ADB
1. Head to our How To Setup ADB procedure, once you can see your phone’s serial number after typing adb devices then come back to this procedure and continue.
(MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS IN THE WRITTEN PROCEDURE AS THERE HAVE BEEN UPDATES ADDED).
III. Unlock the Bootloader
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Turn it on by holding Volume Up and Power until fastboot mode comes up.
3. Plug the phone in via USB cable to your computer while it is in fastboot mode.
4. Open a command prompt on your computer by clicking on the Start menu button and typing cmd and hitting enter in the search box.
5. In the command prompt that pops up, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
fastboot oem unlock
6. At this point the phone will ask you to confirm, select yes. You now have an unlocked bootloader.
IV. Flash a Custom Recovery Image
1. Download the custom recovery image and save it to your computer:
ClockworkMod Recovery for Nexus S
2. Copy the recovery.img file inside the tools folder of the sdk (so it is in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
3. Then in the command prompt that should still be open, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Once it is flashed, leave the phone in plugged in and in fastboot mode.
V. Root the Phone
1. In fastboot mode, select Recovery using the volume buttons and power button and wait for it to boot into recovery mode.
2. Download the Superuser flashable zip file and save it to your computer.
Superuser for Android 2.0 and Up Flashable Zip
3. Once in recovery mode, select Mounts and Storage then select Mount USB Storage so we can transfer files to the sd while it is in recovery mode.
4. Copy the Superuser.zip file to the root of your internal storage (do NOT extract it, do NOT put it in any folders, just on the phone’s storage itself).
5. Select Unmount on the phone.
6. Select Mount System, then select Go Back to get back to the main menu.
7. Then scroll to flash zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sd card and select the superuser.zip file and wait for it to finish flashing.
8. Once it is done, select Go Back then Reboot System and wait for the phone to reboot.
VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image
1. Once the phone is booted up, plug it in via USB cable and do NOT mount the storage.
2. Open a command prompt on the computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
cd etc
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh
3. That will mount the system as writable and rename the file that overwrites the recovery image on reboot so that our custom recovery will stay.
4. Turn off the phone and turn it back on by holding down Volume Up and Power to get into fastboot mode.
5. Plug the phone in via USB cable while in fastboot mode and open the command prompt again and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Once it is done, you have just reflashed the recovery image and it will now stick. You are all done! You have an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery image, and root access! If you want to now load a custom ROM head to the next procedure linked below.
I ran into an issue near the end with this step under VI:
2. Open a command prompt on the computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
cd etc
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh
I used root explorer to mount and rename the file since I couldnt get it to mount with adb shell. My issue now is that when I boot into fastboot mode and go to recovery, I get the error icon (The android with the triangle with the ! in the middle). I cant for the life of me figure out how to get recovery back. It also does not recognize my device in fastboot mode with adb devices but does recognize it when its booted into the regular os. Any ideas?
This is solved. Apparently the directions are a little sketchy.
When it got to this step:
5. Plug the phone in via USB cable while in fastboot mode and open the command prompt again and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the adb reboot bootloader command would not work. Skipping it solved my problem.

[Guide] Telus Motorola Backflip with CM7 Android 2.3.7

Recently I've got a cheap Motorola Backflip for Telus, then I start exploring and find a solution to upgrade to 2.3.7. I've spent 2 whole days facing the computer but eventually got the solution.
I don't know is there anyone still using this ancient phone but I wish this thread can help the one who needs this and also update some of the out-dated processes.
Origin: Android 1.5
Let's start:
(The following are tested on a telus backflip)
First Root
1) Go setting>Application> Development>USB debugging. check the debugging box
Put a at least 1GB memory card in your phone
2)Connect your phone to computer. USB connecting type: "charge only"
3)Download pdanet so that they can install the driver you need, run it after you downloaded it with your phone connected to the computer
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
4)Download adb and extract all the files to the root of (C: )
http://www.mediafire.com/?tntogmymgo16ac0
5)Download the rageagainstthecage file, create a file called "Moto_MSM_Root" in (C: ), then extract all the files into "Moto_MSM_Root" in (C: )
http://www.mediafire.com/?azcraghfl12sw8w
6)Download “Terminal Emulator” and "Rootchecker" and put them in the root of (C: )

Example:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device
8b)start rooting
Code:
adb install RootCheckPro.apk
adb install Android_Terminal_Emulator_v1.0.32.apk
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\su /sdcard/su
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\install-root.sh /data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
chmod 0755 install-root.sh
Keep your phone connecting to the computer
9)Backflip: open the terminal emulator in your Backflip
10)type the following in the terminal emulator on Backflip
Code:

[Q] can't use adb shell in recovery mode

I have a china tablet named Quest.I have accidentally repeated pattern lock more than 5 times.Now i am also forgotten the email address.So for hard resetting my tablet i simply booted my tablet into recovery mode.But it shows an android bot lying with red exclamation.After a spending hours i found a shortcut i.e,vol + and power to access recovery menu.But my tablet does'nt go to recovery menu even when i am pressed the keys.So i simply connected my tablet to my pc via usb and installed drivers. In adb command prompt i typed adb devices. Now my tablet is listed as 20110301 recovery. I can simply use only adb pull and push and reboot commands. But i cant access adb shell to unlock my tablet.
It simply says - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

How to unroot phone without having a volume down button

Hello,
I have an acer liqduid E2 with a custom rom from Bonell and i'd like to reset my phone to the original ROM.
Unfortunately my volume down button is broken.
How can I get into the recovery startup mode without having the posibility to use the volume down button

quick reboot? why

Either your rom has a option in the settings to get a detail reboot menu (with the recovery option).
Either via adb program with your phone connected to your pc
1-Download adb and install adb drivers for your phone
2-extract the files to your c directory in a folder named adb(creat one)
3-once the files are located in c:\adb go to start menu then search for cmd
4-type in
cd c:\adb then click enter
5-type in
adb devices it will show the connected devices
it should be bunch of numbers
6-if you can,t see them it means adb drivers for your device are NOT INSTALLED
7-THEN FINALY IF YOU WANT TO REBOOT
Boot loader
type in
adb reboot boot loader
if you want recovery
type in
adb reboot recovery

Superuser app
Go into the settings of your superuser app and select "full unroot"

[ROOT] Coolad Modena 2 / Sky 2 (E502)

Recently, I successfully ported TWRP from Coolpad Note 3 Lite to Modena 2. After testing, everything works fine, on both devices. Since this device has locked bootloader, we need to bypass this by enabling fastmmi mode and factory mode to enable temporary root access and make initial backup and flashing. So, let´s get started.
Remember to read this post carefully. I am not resposible for any damage to your device. If you brick your device while flashing the TWRP you can *almost* always recover it using SP Flash Tool and YGDP Tool
IF YOU ACCIDENTALY BRICK YOUR DEVICE AND YOU WANT TO FLASH IT VIA SPFT, DO NOT FORMAT THE DEVICE IN SPFT!!! If you´ll format partitions in TWRP, that´s fine, but don´t do FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD or FIRMWARE UPGRADE! This will brick your device, like mine This tutorial will not (hopefully) brick it, but just in case something goes wrong, now you know what not to do.
Preparing the environment on your computer
Windows
Download ADB and Fastboot from this link
Open it
Install it system-wide
Also, install the drivers
GNU/Linux (Ubuntu / Debian based distros)
Open terminal
Type "sudo apt install adb fastboot libusb-dev" without the quotes (")
Other things, that are required
Since the file size of the recovery exceeds the maximum 8MB of allowed upload size, you can download it from DataFileHost.
Preparing the device
First, you need to remeber that this could render your device unbootable and will void warranty.
Enable developer options
Go to Settings -> About phone
Tap the build number 7 times
Go back
Go to Developer options
Make sure OEM unlocking and USB Debugging is enabled
Enabling factory mode
Open dialer app
Dial *#9527*#
Click on "DM"
You will be prompted to insert RD personnel password. Enter: 54321
Click cancel button
DM button should change colour to RED
Exit the app by clicking home button
Installing and setting up openrp app
Open terminal / command prompt
Type:
Code:
adb start-server
Type:
Code:
adb devices
Now, click on your phone allow debugging and make sure to tick the radiobutton to remember / always trust this computer
Type:
Code:
adb install
Press spacebar after the install word and drag and drop the downloaded openrp.apk file to terminal
Hit enter
After it´s done, type:
Code:
adb shell monkey -p com.yulong.openrp -v 500
Now, the fun part. ROOTING the device
But before that, BACKUP
Now, keep your phone plugged in, and do a normal reboot by pressing and holding the power button and clicking reboot
When it vibrates, press and hold the Volume down key (Vol-)
You will see these lines on the screen:
Code:
=>[Factory mode]
Code:
=>VolumeDown key is pressed
Code:
=>[fastmmi mode]
After that, you´ll see the LED turns green and "Up Down" text on the screen
Now, back to your computer, type in the command prompt
Code:
adb devices
You should see XXXXXXXXXXXXXX device listed (where XXXX... is the serial number)
Type in the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/recovery of=/storage/self/primary/stock_recovery.img
and
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/boot of=/storage/self/primary/stock_bootimg.img
Flashing the TWRP Image
Type in the command prompt:
Code:
adb push (drag and drop the recovery image file here, like you did with the openrp.apk file) /storage/self/primary/
Type:
Code:
adb reboot
Press and hold VolumeDown key (Vol-) to boot to fastmmi mode
Type:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/storage/self/primary/recovery_twrp_e502.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/recovery
Type
Code:
adb reboot
Press and hold the VolumeUp key (Vol+) to boot into recovery. If you see white screen with "Recovery" text in it, congrats. Everything is working. If not, try again.
Flashing the SuperSU package
Download the zip from SuperSU website
Copy the zip over to the device, with TWRP running
In TWRP, click install, click the zip and confirm the installation.
Factory reset is not required, but you should at least wipe the cache

Hi i have a problem here. at the part to drag and drop the openrp file. When i have downloaded the file a drag it and drop it after the install word. The problem is that if I want to drop it there it will do nothing, nothing there shows or anything. Please respond.

I guess you can type the path to the installation file instead of dragging.

Hello,
Very helpful thread, my coolpad Modena 2 (E502) is now rooted.
Don't forget to disable the factory mode once everything is done, or you won't be able to access the storage to usb anymore.
Thanks.

helo, can i get help, when i try to install openrp on abd and fastboot, it printed this message "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]"
can anyone help me on that step, so i can root my e502

Hello,
If I recall correctly (I don't have the phone anymore, just touched it once to root it at the time), you basically undo the "Enabling factory mode" step.
I think if you dial the number, you'll be back in the menu where you have the option to disable the factory mode.
Factory mode should be disabled when 'DM' is green.
Good luck

very good

Need Custom rom please

Hello, could you resend the twrp recovery file for this phone again?. old links not work!.
(sorry for my bad english)
