Hello. I have an foreign phone (chinesse i think) it's called Colorovo CityTone Vision.
There are the tehnical specifications: http://www.colorovo.eu/products-en/smartphones-en/colorovo-citytone-vision.html?product_id=3263
I instaled Chainfire 3D and the i activated ESP (i think) driver. Then the phone powered off and it didn't booted since then. The screen is totaly black. It is a bit lighted. Firstly I enetered in the stock recovery mode to wipe all data. I tought that this will work but didn't. I searched foar an better recovery mode and i found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632. I followed the instructions to install TWRP but after I finished (I metion tha i couldn't unlock the bootloader because i goat an error tha says "oem command not found" or something like this) I couldn't acces the recovery mode neither. All i cand do now is to enter in fastboot mode. I cand only use these commands: fastboot devices, fastboot reboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . The adb is not detecting my phone ( i have all the drivers installed corectly). I'm despered. I can't find any file for my phone (stock recovery or stock files). I'm very sad. I tryed to fix my phone all the day ( almost 8 hours). PLEASE HELP ME!
Excuse my english. I hope you understand me.
ps: i don't know where shoud i write this topic

Phone Stuck in Bootloop

Hello,
Recently I flashed a CWM file for 'Lava Iris X1' found on this site for my android 'Lava Iris X1 Grand'. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. For some reason i cant enter recovery mode even before my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I am not sure whether my phone has USB debugging enabled or not. I rooted my android with KingRoot before all this happened. I have downloaded your Minimal Adb and Fastboot but it cant find my device.
Overall problem:
1) Phone Stuck in Bootloop
2)USB debugging enabled ? Not sure
3) Can't enter recovery mode
4) ADB wont find my device
Note : When I used Minimal Adb and Fastboot, I typed 'fastboot devices' and some numbers appear:
0123456789ABCDEF devices
but when I used the command 'adb devices' my device is not shown:
List of devices attached
I have a backup at my phone through the Flashify app but since recovery mode cant show I cant recover it. I also need a some flash recovery images.
Please help me out here. I don't know what else to do.
Thank You in advance
Fixed
Nevermind guys, i was able to get my phone out of bootloop using SP Flash Tool.
Now all I have to do is restore IMEI.

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!

One plus 6 completly bricked

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to unlocking and rooted phone, but I've read many many post on this forum but nothing worked....
Here what's happening;
Few days ago I wanted to Recover from TWRP a backup that I've made. I launch the recovery from TWRP (important details, it was a backup that I made from slot B in twrp....) in slot A.
So yes I indeed restore a slot B recovery into the slot A in TWRP.....
And I tried to reboot after that..... and the problems begins !!
I just have a blackscreen with a blue light, nothing happened..... Same thing If i try to boot into recovery mode.....
Since I tried many many things but nothing worked...... I can't boot into TWRP from fastboot.
When I'm trying that:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.2-0-enchilada.img
The phone just reboot and got stucked on the screen with one plus logo and the text "fastboot mode" below the logo.....
I read all these post below and everything I tried (erase all data, change the active slot on fastboot mode......)didn't work:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/oneplus-6-os-twrp-stuck-fastboot-screen-t3870989
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/stuck-fastboot-rooted-help-please-t3851802
This one I didn't really understand exactly what needed to be done but I guess I need to boot into a custom recovery as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3796051
Even tried that but it didn't unbrick the phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
I tried to boot into another recovery, but same thing not working/booting;
Code:
fastboot boot blu_spark_r65-oos-pie_op6_9a5f932e4.zip
So I'm desesperate and really really need help !!:crying::crying:
Does anyone can help me step by step or has a solution please?
I can access to fastboot mode that is the only think I can do and the bootloader is unlocked.
Go and see there :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3903272
You'll get your phone like it comes out of the box.
yep, do this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3903272
I had the same problem with my OP3. i cant get past the fastboot screen. after i tried the tool everything was back to normal. but i had to oem lock after it to boot up.
Also use the official twrp for a fully functional backup and restore
Thank you all for your reply !
I've tried to follow the process from the link but the MSMTool is not finding my OP6 and I've uninstall in the Device Manager as indicated:
HTML:
plug in the phone to the computer, go in device manager and under port (COM) disinstall qualcomm one (oneplus 6) and then unplug
But When I go into safe mode and re-plug, I can't do this part because I don't have this information....
HTML:
Now you have to see US8_BULK as new device connected and you can also see in device manager; if you can't notice it, repeat the process until you see it (power on, power off, hold...) there is a full youtube guide for op5 and it's the same process
I tried on 2 different PC (Windows 10 and 7) but nothing worked so I can't used the MSMTool
You have to use it in safe mode to install the unsigned drivers. It only works when you see the device as something like 9800 in your device manager.
Dont worry if it fails a few times. I had to do this 8 times on my OP3 till it was successful.
You can also use this guide:

The steps are the same

[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.

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

Entering TWRP instead of Recovery Mode (Doogee S60)

Hi There!
I'm exeriencing a wierd problem:
On my rooted Doogee S60, i was able to enter the built in recovery mode (and from there the fastboot mode) with Vol+ and Power.
Since i've installed a twrp recovery.img, pressing Vol+ and Power will launch the TWRP UI (wich i cant use, because my touchscreen is disabled).
Normal boot won't work eighter - i flashed a corrupted system.img file as it looks like (ooops). There is also the message at the Boot Screen saying:
"Orange State - Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5 seconds"
... although these 5 seconds won't countdown and the device won't boot.
If i enter the TWRP, i can still access the ADB mode. So i can sideload stuff on the device, even the sd card is shown on pc. But the command
adb reboot fastloader
will reboot the phone, but not load the fastloader/fastboot - as it stucks at boot screen (orange state).
Any other ideas to access fastboot, due to flash the recovery.img again with the original to fix?
... or simple question: did i brick it?
thx in advance
Command
Code:
adb reboot fastloader
doesn't exist.

Hi introjoe,
Are you doing? i have the doogee s60 but i just cant root it :'( can you tell me please how did you do it, or the files you use for it? i allready tried but, when i reset and enter fastboot mode, my pc simply dont recognize it.
I want to upgrade the android system to 9 or 10, thats why im doing all o this.
Thanks in advance.
@doryan666
i wasnt able to root the device in the end unfortunately.
i tried using an unofficial twrp, but i was stuck at the main boot screen
i t seems to need some bootloader-activation-code to enter the bootloader to install a new os.
the command line would look like
adb reboot bootloader "CODE"
the activation code has not been released yet by doogee ... and most probably never will be.
sorry to say but i dont think android upgrad will be possible with this device
