[q] problem about flashmode

Hi guys, I'm having some troubles to put my device in flashmode. I'd like to root it and then install a custom recovery but when turn on my device (to go in recovery by using power button + volume down) in screen appears only 3 choices and not four, I mean there's not the USB icon so I cannot put it in flashmode..any advice or suggestion? I'm on 4.2 stock and I've already installed ADB drivers and adb flash tool by following it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094746 . Please reply as soon as possible

Fastboot mode is enabled already when you see the bootloader menu since 4.2 - no need to select anything.

I had the same question. When you see those 3 options it's in fastboot mode

[Completed] Bricked zenfone 2 - OTA update while rooted - unsucessful flash

My problem:
I had a temporary CWM installed on my Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4gb/32GB and without thinking, installed an OTA update form 2.20.40.63 to 2.20.40.90.
My phone booted to the Asus logo with the loading circle and got no further.
Sadly I did not have USB debugging enabled at the time so I cant detect it in ADB in recovery mode to sideload.
I have tried to copy firmware to my Micro sd and load from there but my phone has never recognised or mounted SD cards so that is out of the question.
As a last resort I tried flashing the Boot.img, Recovery.img, droidboot.img and system.img, now it wont even get to the asus logo without coming up with and android logo with a red triangle above it, the same logo that comes up when I now try to enter recovery mode.
I have recorded a video of the process I followed to flash the zfone, but cant post it here as this is my first post, but I think I can send it to someone through messages
What am I doing wrong and how do I get my phone back?
Any help would be hugely appreciated, and keep in mind Im a bit of a noob so set by step instructions would be awesome, Thanks guys
Update: the original .img files i used were apparently already rooted, so I am now extracting the 2.20.40.90 firmware from the official Asus site and I will try to flash with those.
but I cant find the system.img inside the UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.90-user.zip and was wondering, do I need to take out the Boot.img. droidboot.img and recovery.img then turn all the existing files into a system.img?

Ahh thank you, sorry I didnt really know where to post the question

Fixed my phone!!
Ok guys, so I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I preformed the flash correctly with pre-rooted system.img, but I didnt wipe the cache, as soon as I did, my phone booted to a normal rooted device!!
If you want to do this yourself, download pre rooted versins of these files (easy to find with a quick google search)
Recovery.img
Boot.img
Droidboot.img
System.img
ADB tethered launcher (not needed if your phone can enter recovery mode)
and place them all in a new folder (lets call it zenUnbrick)
Boot your zenfone 2 into fast boot mode, then connect it to your pc
(Hold volume up button and power button, when your phone vibrates let go of the power button and continue to hold the volume + button until you see the fastboot screen)
Now hold down shift + right click inside the zenunbrick folder and select 'open command window here'
When that opens, run these commands in this order. Wait till each one finishes and be aware that the (fastboot flash system system.img) command takes quite a while to work its magic, so be patient and dont turn off your phone
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
when your phone reboots, it will most likely still seem bricked, but do not despair!! this is where you open up the ADB tethered launcher, although if your phone can enter recovery mode then you dont need this program
Option 1 - If your phone can enter recovery mode
Boot your phone into fastboot mode
use volume up and down to select recovery mode and use power button to select
wait for your phone to reboot
when you see the broken android symbol, press volume up button and power button simultaneously
select wipe cache and wait (it takes a while)
select reboot now
Your phone is now unbricked and rooted!!
Option 2 - If your phone cant enter recovery mode
Boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your pc
open ADB tethered launcher
type 'ACCEPT'
when it loads type 'T4'
wait for your phone to reboot
select wipe cache and wait (it takes a while)
Select reboot now
Your phone is now unbricked and rooted!!

Hi there. Since you cannot flash a custom recovery cause your bootloader is locked and a bootloader unlock will erase the data you want to get, the only option is extract the info from fastboot mode.
You must boot the phone in fastboot mode (power and vol- for 3 seconds), install motorola drivers and download mfastboot tool. In fastboot mode you can use some commands to extract info, here you have the list of commands you can use and here is a tool that can ease the job of writing every command.
Look in the forum FAQs, help about mfasboot and drivers is there.

thanks for ur answer moralesnery
but its seem that i need usb debuggin, otherwise adb dosent find the device.
can allow usb debugg?
i tried in my other phone, and witht usb debugg it work just fine!
it seems that adb only work with the phone in normal status
when someone has bootloop it's constantly restart and the process will not work
fastboot works, but its seems that i cant pull thing with the fastboot menu.

Try this:
1. Boot to bootloader
2. Unlock the bootloader
3. Flash ClockworkModRecovery
4. Boot to recovery
5. Go to mounts and storage (press vol - many times, when that option is highlighted, press power)
6. Now go to mount /sdcard (press vol - many times, when that option is highlighted press popowe
7. Plug the cable from your phone to the computer. So now your PC will detect a device. And you can copy files from your phone to the PC)
Hope that this works for you, sorry for bad english.

Z3 Won't start or enter recovery

Guys,
I need help. I'm struggling for the last 3 days trying to revive my phone with no sucess. :crying::crying::crying:
I managed to put a custom rom sucessfully, but i had to make a restore on recovery mode.
During the restore process some error ocurred, something like "something not mounted", i did'nt have the ROM to flash anymore. For no reason i decied do reboot the phone.
Now i can't enter recovery anymore and the phone is froze on the "Sony Xperia" on the begginig.
Since start i'm having difficulty with the Z3 driver for Windows 10. To enter recovery mode i tryed to adb reboot recover but my adb doesn't work.
It's strange..
if i type fastboot devices it's show.
if i type adb devices it's show's "no emulators/xxx found".
I need help, don't know what to do anymore.
TLDR:
- Frozen at "Sony Xperia"
- Recovery don't enter pressing Volume Down/UP
- adb devices doesnt' work.
- fastboot devices work
Thank you!

You have some choices to restor stock rom:
1) Try Xperia compagnon fron Sony ==> Software repair (not shure about the label in english version)
2) Use flashtool (google for it) and a rom (*.ftf) of your choice.
When you are back to stock, then you can install a custom rom again

Hey,
Sounds like a corrupted system, not too sure what happened with the recovery though.
Try this out:
1. You need the phone driver and the fastboot & ADB driver. You can get the Sony phone drivers from the Xperia PC Companion. You can get fastboot & adb drivers almost anywhere, just google for them or scroll a bit through xda.
2. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't done so already here.
3. boot into fastboot mode by completely powering off the phone then holding "power+volume up" and waiting until a blue LED appears in the top left.
4. Find a custom recovery, rename it to recovery.img, navigate to the folder that contains it in CMD (i.e. cd C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Android) and type "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5.You should now be able to boot into recovery again. All that's left is find a ROM of your liking, push it to the phone in ADB and install it.
Hope this helps!

[ROOT][TWRP] Wiko Sunny 2 (SPD7731C) Root process with TWRP port (buggy touch)

Hi all! Now we can root our Sunny 2 phones!
I'd make a TWRP port for this device (adb enabled) so we can just sideload the Magisk installer.
History:
After some time having a Wiko Sunny 2 phone, I'd search a lot and didn't find any method for rooting this little thing.
Then I had the idea to mod the stock recovery to allow test keys and then flash anything, tried to do that and didn't work.
Another idea came to my mind: port TWRP from another phone with same chipset. Started my search for a SPD7731c device with working TWRP and after some time found some guy who made a TWRP port for his "Selecline S6S4IN3G" device and as it had the same chipset it worked. Just gathered the recovery.img from the stock rom (thanks Wiko for giving it on they web page) and unpacked it with carliv image kitchen, replaced the stock ramdisk with TWRP's one and just modded some things inside it (default.prop and the init.rc files). As the vold.fstab is the same, didn't need to modify it.
After some testing, the only problem remaining is that the touch doesn't work well (it receives touch input all the time, even if not touched) but it's enough to get our Sunny2's rooted via ADB and magisk's zip.
REQUIREMENTS:
A PC (or another phone with OTG support, if you use a phone then you'll also need an adb binary compiled for ARM)
ADB, Fastboot and drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N38jqQqX87dEKsBIgDb_9MC-k43YUi85
TWRP image: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DZhL6RckvzQyxGCq2Yy64Cqnpnnm1Ofp
Stock recovery image (in case something goes wrong you can revert to this): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1spaFc1sqqjFdwzt9cYDfSO_KVh1aYuh5
Magisk ZIP (can be latest or this zip): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-OPU1JycSr8nVyAGfdkhdajn8Uap_0dl
ROOT PROCESS:
1. While on Android, go to Settings>About this device and toch 7 times Build number (this will enable Developer Options)
2. Now go back to Settings and then Developer options>Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging.
3. Connect the device to the PC and install the correct driver (for doing this just open Device Manager and force the install of Android Composite ADB Interface on your unrecognized device (should be called SUNNY2)).
4. Open a CMD/Terminal and type this:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
5. Now type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/twrp-suny2.img
and after that just
Code:
fastboot reboot
.
6. Now the phone will start, just type in CMD/Terminal
Code:
adb reboot recovery
and you will boot into TWRP.
7. Okay, this TWRP has a buggy touch so just use ADB to install the magisk zip:
Code:
adb shell twrp sideload
, then
Code:
adb sideload path/to/magisk.zip
and finally
Code:
adb reboot
.
8. Nice, now Magisk should be installed. Now with root access, happy modding!
Some things to note:
1) In this guide I did everything via ADB, never booted to recovery or fastboot using button combinations. Why? Simple, on my device I didn't find the correct combinations.
2) You can use TWRP also for factory resetting or installing anything, but via ADB only (as the touch doesn't work properly).
3) If you need any help with this device just PM me!
I hope this guide will be useful for anyone.

I just mirrored!

Stuck in boot loop
Hi ! Thanks for the HowTo !
But...
I followed the exact same procedure (except I had to fastboot oem unlock before flashing the twrp image, in addition to unlocking it in dev mode).
After flashing, the device was stuck in a boot loop : "orange state your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted / your device will boot in 5 seconds". Tried all manners of key combos to reboot in recovery (Vol Up + power is supposed to be the right combo) but to no avail.
Fortunately Wiko provides an "upgrade" tool that allows you to factory reset the device (support dot wikomobile dot com /maj/Sunny2Plus_V24.zip, window$ only) but no luck installing twrp.
Any idea why ? Thanks in advance

Hmm this device is pretty strange, his key combinations never worked for me (because of that I'd need to reboot into system a few times, instead of booting to fastboot with keys).
You can try this:
After flashing stock rom and allowing oem unlock on settings, reboot directly to fastboot. Then use "fastboot boot recovery.img" and tell me what it says. If it says something about bad boot image, it's normal (that happens in my device even if try to load stock boot.img).
Also there's a tool called SPD Research Download Tool, which let's you flash the phone partitions one by one (manually selectable) from the path you want, while phone is in download mode (volume down and connect USB to PC). However, I don't know if that tool's license allows it's free redistribution, so I recommend research for it before downloading anything.
You can get the stock files by running the wiko upgrade tool, going to the folder it extracted his files and then looking for a file called rom.pac (then unpack it, there are guides here on XDA for doing so). You can even edit the boot splash image lol

Sorry for wasting your time
I'm so stupid ! It turns out my device is a different model, the Sunny 2 Plus.
Sorry, and thanks again

Does anyone know if a custom rom exists for the Wiko Sunny 2?

Nope, sold the device some days after writing this post so didn't even bother to port anything.
BTW it's a 4-core phone with 512MB RAM, so what would you expect to run there? I thing nothing higher than MM (KK would be nice if it was not so outdated nowadays)

Hi, i have got a problem with my wiko sunny 2 plus.
i flashed twrp via fastboot, it succeed. but after reboot the phone didnt start,
only shows orange state, didn´t connect to pc anymore with same cable. i mean i can hear the win7 sound of connecting device and right after connect sound appear then disconnect sound follows right after. so i cant detect the device with adb anymore. what to do, any idea? P.S. sp flashtool also cant detect device. greets

merci beaucoup j espere sa marche
