I have tested it on the xt1023 but from what i am told it should work on all models because supersu.zip is universal and same with TWRP if i am not mistaken.

doesn't reboot into recovery
Everything seems ok during the process but when the phone reboots it stays in the Motorola logo/Android screen, never moving on to TWRP. This also happened when I tried the normal Fastboot method. Bootloader is unlocked and usb debugging is checked, of course.
Any ideas?
edit:
More info-
1. The only command that seems to work on my phone is when I install stock recovery.
2. When I go into bootloader and try to restart in any mode but normal restart I get a blank screen
3. I previously bricked my phone by doing something stupid so I reflashed one of the factory firmwares-
RETUAWS_XT1023_4.4.2_KXC20.82-15_cid9_CFC.xml
Could this be the source of my problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for the nice video; however I just have a problem when trying to go back to stock recovery to install the 4.4.4 update that is recently pushed to Moto E devices; I want to go back to stock recovery as it does not gets installed with any custom recovery.
I tried the said method 4-5 times but it gives me with a dead android icon when trying to get to stock recovery..
Please help me to get 4.4.4 on my device.

Update won't work if you have modded system partition in any way. Even if its just blotware uninstalled. Just flash system partition only and it should work. The .1 .2 .3 file extension files I mean

Updated Yippeeeeee...
The issue was my rooted device, I had to unroot, install stock ROM as I had removed plenty of bloatware..update success, re-root and enjoy!!!!
Posting steps to benefit someone who may be facing the same issue as I was..

Hey guys. My little brother just got a Moto E, and I'm trying to get it rooted/Recovery'd.
I'm using your toolkit, but so far, no luck. Doesn't want to root, nor install recovery. It's stuck on "waiting for device".
I don't know what's wrong. I checked that USB debugging was on, and he unlocked his bootloader earlier. Everything should be fine.
But, it doesn't work.
Could someone provide some help, please ?
Thanks.

Did you extract the zip to your desktop? And are the right drivers installed also try using a different USB cable or port.

[Q] Flash Stock and Unroot without USB possible? [SOLVED]

Hello Nexus friends!
Hope someone can help me:
Is there a way to flash my nexus 5 back to stock and unroot without USB?
I think my USB port is dead, it doesnt load and I m not able to connect it with any computer. I wiped it but nothing changed.
History:
I flashed and rooted my phone with Nexus Root Toolkit from stock (4.4.2 (KOT49H) i think) now after OTA updates its runnig 4.4.4 (KTU84P).
plz help!
regards
Mike

You could flash a stock recovery flashable ROM....would need root for that obviously.
As far as flashing stock recovery....not sure about that one. Maybe flashify can help? Never used it myself. You need a flashable stock recovery tho.
Also, the boot loader will be unlocked still, so that's kind of a dead giveaway. Nothing you can do about that without connecting to a computer for fastboot.

Need to know the full situation.
If you've lost root you NEED a custom recovery. If you have stock recovery, you NEED root.
OTA removes root and custom recovery.
Please give situation report.

I can walk you through it but I need to know for definite your current situation.
I need you to have either root, or a custom recovery.
To check custom recovery, hold vol down + power to boot to bootloader. Then use Volume up / down to navigate to "recovery" and press power to select. I want to see the recovery screen. Usually OTA will remove root and custom recovery.
Also, use root checker to check if you have root - I expect you will not have it.
First install SuperSU

Then install root checker

OK This means you have full stock rom and stock recovery. Only thing you have that you might not want is an unlocked bootloader, which you need root to fix. Do you want me to "Try" to and help you do tht or are you just going to leave it?
Are you sending it to google or LG?

Google will not reject warranty of hardware failure due to unlocked bootloader. LG might. If you bought it from google, it usuall goes to google, but not sure if changign country changes things. Best to ask google.
Only chance to lock bootloader is to get root by using towelroot. It may or may not work.
https://towelroot.com/tr.apk
Run the app. It is supposed to reboot but sometimes it does not. If it does not, reboot yourself. Then ipen SuperSU and check if it has root.
If it does have root, install bootunlocker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker&hl=en - and reset tamper flag and lock bootloader. Then unroot using SuperSU.
If towelroot doesnt give you root, you cannot lock bootloader

You can flash stock recovery via the TWP app, which allows this

Recovery for LG G pro 2 F350 series tested working .

LG G PRO 2 CWM recovery Philz touch 6.48.4
This is a permanent recovery, thoroughly tested on the F350, not tested on G PRO 2 D838. Pros: - There are touch - Supports many powerful features - Safe and stable way to recovery: 1. Use Rebooter (from CHPlay) select reboot recovery 2. Using hard keys: - Turn off the machine welding (or remove the battery) - With the F350: Hold Volume Up + Power, to see the LG logo release the two buttons, then hold the Volume Up and Volume Down. - With the D838: Hold Volume Down + Power, to see the LG logo release the two buttons, then hold the Volume up and Volume down. Installation instructions - Requires root before GPRO 2 -
Download the application LGRecovery_F350.apk
https://www.androidfilehost.com /? fid = 95784891001610872
- Install and follow the steps as guidelines: 'd like the image of G PRO (though set for G PRO 2 also perform the same steps.

Temp Root Question

Sorry if this question does not belong here, I'm a noob. A few days ago I was trying some things with the sunshine free apk and after a few minutes I got a message that said "congratulations now you have temp root", then I installed TWRP through google play, rebooted into recovery and it worked. At that time I did not try to install a Custom Rom through this method because I wasn't sure about it, my question is Can I install a custom rom doing with this method? (like the google play edition sensified rom)

I'm not really sure what to tell you. If you managed to install TWRP without getting S-Off and an unlocked bootloader (never heard of this) I would think you could flash a rom. However, I don't know if it would work for you or not. If the rom comes with a boot.img file, it would almost certainly fail to flash that part of the rom. You would need an unlocked bootloader for that to work. If the system part of the rom did flash, it might be nothing but headaches if it relied on the boot.img. I'm not even sure if the system would flash without an unlocked bootloader. My guess is probably but I think you might be in for a world of headaches if you do it. I would recommend just running sunshine and paying the piper . Maybe somebody else more knowledgeable than me can answer and tell you for sure. I'd tread lightly on this one if I were you. I just don't know for sure. All I know is that boot.img isn't going to succeed.

I suspect you haven't accomplished as much as it sounds. I don't believe you can flash a custom recovery with s-on and a locked bootloader. When you ran sunshine, did you go all the way and pay for it or did you stop after gaining temp root? Temp root may allow something like the TWRP app (different from the actual TWRP recovery) to think it's done it's thing without the flash actually completing. When you say "it worked" do you mean you booted all the way into TWRP recovery?

Yep, I installed the app from google play and then it asked me if I wanted to reboot into recovery so I did it. I was able to use TWRP but I didn't try anything because I wasn't sure.

But you're sure that you still have s-on and a locked bootloader? What happens if you turn off the phone and then enter the bootloader (volume up + power) and enter recovery from there? Does it take you to TWRP or stock recovery.

Ok, but if you enter recovery from hboot as in your picture do you actually go into twrp? I wonder if either the TWRP app (with temp root) was somehow able to boot twrp instead of flashing it to the recovery partition and booting to recovery or perhaps some previous owner flashed a spoofed hboot and you actually do have an unlocked bootloader but don't know it. Did you buy the phone new with this being the first time you've tinkered with it?

I went to the States a month ago and I bought it pre-owned in Gamestop, so maybe as you said it is modified. And answering about the TWRP I tried to boot into recovery yesterday but I had no success (I got to the default android recovery).
Summing up I'll just buy the full version of the sunshine app and do this thing in the proper way, thank you for your help and time.

Why not verify first you are truly s-on with a fastboot getvar all
That way we can make sure someone didn't flash a faux hboot.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite got messed up
Hi there!
I have just received my new Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone and wanted to pass all of my data from my old phone to it in a way that it was required to be rooted.
KingRoot didn't work on this new phone, so I unlocked bootloader and tried to install TWRP recovery on my phone.
Installing to the recovery partition did not work. I searched the error it gave me and found a thread saying that flashing it to the boot partition worked for them. So I did. Next thing that happened is that my phone did not boot into the OS (operating system) ever again. It only booted TWRP.
I have since been able to remove TWRP (though I made a back up of it) but the phone still stays on just the loading part before going to the OS.
I have since been able to get back the fastboot and stock recovery, but the phone will not start into the OS anymore.
How can I fix this?
I have been searching for ways to restore my android to the 8.1 Oreo version that it was.
Can I do it with this Tool All In One? Please help! Thank you in advance!! Much appreciated!!

I would suggest using the root method mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
Twrp does not have good results for most people.

With this method I will lost all data on my phone and I do not want to setup phone 1 more time. Twice was just enough
I know that already but thank you anyway

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should not lose any data just installing magisk

Yes...my fault. My BL is unlocked already.
But I posted in that thread...because of some reason does not work. But this is not thread about it
Thanks for help

So...Installed TWRP but does not recognize anything in internal storage. Not recognize SD card.
When boot again to TWRP goes to "something"...some kind of empty stock recovery with android logo and nothing more.
Oh man...that will be interesting ride...to put TWRP or root device

Because your not supposed to install the twrp image just boot from it and if you do install it then you have to flash the original boot image for which ever 8.1 update your on to get rid of it.
This is explained on the team win page for daisy wish i had read that first after re flashing my os twice and boot image once trying to install this am just using the phone as is for now until i get the urge to try again

oops sorry i should check what thread this is before trying to answer a question i blame alcohol .
Thing is there are posts out on the net that advices people with the a2 lite to install the twrp image to their inactive slot and not to just boot it and that's where things seem to start going wrong.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this tool and sorry i just dived in here and confused people.
maybe some kind passing mod will get rid of the post apologies again
