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 your script, mate...just used it for SuperSu installation and made the rest by other way, but worked flawlessly for that, and that's the point !!! :good:

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] no os installed when trying to reboot

Hello community!
This is my very first thread and i seriously hope you can help me out.
I have a OnePlus One. Some time ago I tried to flash a custom rom onto it (OxygenOS), without having any idea how to do that. I took the zip from the official OnePlus site. Obviously, my flashing a custom rom did not work out. Somehow I must have deleted something I should not have: When I try to boot it now it just shows a 'powered by android' screen and doesn't move on from that. Now I already managed to load TWRP onto the phone. When I copied a flashable.zip onto the phone via android file transfer and then unzipped it, that worked. But then I said 'reboot' and the phone said 'No OS installed'.
I don't know how to solve this issue. Please help me out!
Greetings from Austria,
Clemens

Don't unzip, choose the zip in TWRP - Install. And then swipe to install it.
Btw, is it oxygen os zip?
All the best

You don't need to unzip it, it's a flashable zip so you just leave it as it is and install it with TWRP recovery. Full directions in my guide thread here:

What version of TWRP are you using? What's the exact fill filename of the Oxygen zip that you're trying to flash? Have you done anything to the zip, as in modified it in any way?

I'm not sure what type of twrp I am using
the filename is: oxygenos_1.0.0 (1).zip
and no, i have just downloaded the zip from the official oneplus website/link

The version of TWRP should be right at the top of the screen when you are in TWRP, it'll be 2.8.6.0 or something like that. Anyway, I think the main problem here is that you're trying to flash the wrong zip, extract the zip on your PC and tell me what's in it.

-oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.md5
-oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip
this is what is in the zip
I also tried only the flashable.zip on my phone-same reaction.
This is what's in the flashable.zip:
META-INF
recovery
system
boot.img
emmc_appsboot.mbn
logo.bin
NON-HLOS.bin
reserve4.img
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn
static_nvbk.bin
tz.mbn

Alright, you were trying to flash the wrong zip, it's the oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip that you're meant to flash. I can't open that link because that's a local come on your PC. I still need to know what version of TWRP you have installed, it may be too old.

I am using v2.8.0.1
and I already tried the oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip; doesnt work either

[TOOL] Mi Toolkit V4 (Root, TWRP + Stock Recovery, IMEI Backup)

Because Manu11 didn't update his thread about the toolkit. I decided to post this to help Mi 4i users that got into trouble with TWRP unable to flash dh.harald's CM12.1
FEATURES
-Root (MIUI only, CM users can enable Root in Developer Options) Working on MIUI7 (thanks to @ss.suryakant95 for testing this out)
-TWRP Recovery
-Stock Recovery (just in case)
-EFS (IMEI) Backup and Restore

DOWNLOAD
(Some users had problems unzipping this ZIP with WinRAR, consider using free alternatives such as 7-zip)
MAIN URL: Click here to download (Please use this download, but if in any case you can't extract, you may use the mirror I provided.)
MIRROR: Click here to download.
HOW-TO
1. Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI version 7 times in About Phone), and then in Developer Options, enable USB debugging.
2. Have you downloaded the ZIP? No? Download it, now.
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP wherever you like, keep in mind that all files must be kept together.
4. Connect your phone to the PC.
5. Run the Start.bat file.
ATTENTION: Please do a ROOT (I'll assume you're still in MIUI) before you flash TWRP, or you may be brought back into stock recovery. (Thanks to @omerjerk for testing this)
---
UPDATE: This toolkit's TWRP is deprecated (download the newest version here), but if you don't want to hassle with downloading another fastboot driver, you can still download dh.harald's recovery .img file, and copy your downloaded recovery to the extracted toolkit folder, then change dh.harald's recovery filename into twrp.img (UNTESTED)
I'll repack this toolkit with dh.harald's newest TWRP whenever possible.
---
This toolkit is made by magdag, all credits goes to him.

I can't speak for magdag, the dev. So, this is literally the version that is usable for flashing TWRP.
I don't expect any official support for TWRP. And I prefer CWM, if there's one.

Backup everything (all partitions) except the first in the list.
You may want to use the compression.
The backup should be somewhere between 3.5GB and 5.5GB depending on the options and the data.
You could install ROM Manager (from Koushik Dutta) from the Play Store.
Choose the TWRP as recovery and Unknown Device as device.
Then you can use this to backup with TWRP and it will choose the right options for you.

Just Google it. Seriously. Or go to MIUI Forums and see the options you got there, there should be plenty of MIUI Fastboot ROM since 6.5.6

I've MiUi 6.6.10 on my device.
I used this toolkit to flash twrp but I'm not able to do so.
Whenever I select the 2 option, it flashes the recovery successfully. But, when I boot to recovery again using adb reboot recovery, I get the stock recovery and not twrp.
What I'm doing wrong ?
P.S. I haven't rooted the phone yet.

I think it should be added in the main post that root is required.

Flash TWRP using Flashify App - No PC Needed (Dev ROM only)

For those who are having a hard time flashing TWRP using a PC, I just wanna share it to you guys! I have tested this myself on my Mi-4c
Note: This will not might not work if you are using stable/dev rom version 6.14 or higher due to locked bootloader. Please unlock your bootloader first
Requirements:
Mi-4c device
Full Developer ROM pack for our phone ( make sure you install GApps too)
TWRP image (TWRP 2.8.7.1 with English and Chinese V2 & V3)
TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 Dev ROM (Most Stable)
Flashify App
**And of course, courage and common sense
Disclaimer: Don't blame me if you brick your device, do it at your own risk.
1. Download a developer ROM from the official download page: Click Here or use this Developer ROM [/B]Note: This method might not work if you are using dev rom version 6.14 or higher due to locked bootloader. Please unlock your bootloader first[/B]
2. Flash the Developer ROM from the updater app and install GApps of course. Now, you should have root access on your phone.
3. Download the flashable TWRP zip from the original thread or below - Original TWRP Thread --- Thanks to 油炸包子-
TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 Dev ROM (Most stable especially for touch issues)
TWRP V2 Dev ROM Only
TWRP V3 Dev ROM or Stable
4. Open the TWRP .zip or .7z file you downloaded using an Archiver app or ES Explorer and you will find a recovery.img inside.
4.1 Extract the recovery.img to the root of your SDCard (you can rename it to anything you like just make sure the extension stays as .img)

Congrats! You have successfully updated your TWRP to V3.

So, you mean this is normal behavior?
In my opinion, it's not.

It shouldn't be like that, but that's how it is right now. I'm not sure if there's any fix available, but I guess an updated version of the recovery will be released soon, that has this problem fixed..

Yeah this method works I have done it and easy as drinkin beer

Same here. Tested and working. I am on Mokee rom now.

Thanks for the guide but I found something wierd happening. After succesfully flashing twrp and rebooting it goes in twrp when I restart after that and try to go in recovery with volume up +power it takes me to stock recovery? Any ideas??:/

So version 3 works without any touch problems?

I'm using the v3 linked in this thread and the touch problem still exists. I have to wait 2-3 minutes before it works.
I tested the 2.8.7.0 version from miui.com and touch screen worked immediately. I'm not sure if it was just lucky or not, because I only tested it once. Maybe worth trying it and see how it works?

It'd weird because the one I have some times freezes and some times doesn't

Just reflash TWRP then reboot to TWRP, it should ask you if you want to either use it as read only or allow modification, select allow modification. Hope that helps.

Yes with the modded version on xiaomi.eu the touch works!

How To Guide Chinese rom to Global rom tutorial

Warning: doing this may void warranty. proceed at your own risk, I do not take responsibility for you bricking your phone.
This is a tutorial on how to manually update a red magic 7pro Chinese rom to Global rom. (tested-working)
This should work the other way around as well (global to chinese). (untested)
This should also work on other model red magic phones. (untested)
Software needed:
7zip - https://www.7-zip.org/
Step 1: download latest global rom from red magic
https://help.redmagic.gg/hc/en-us/articles/6360319907865-REDMAGIC-7-Pro
Step 2: Right click on the downloaded global rom and open with 7zip
after opening in 7zip you will have to edit the payload_properties.txt file
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
double click the payload_properties.txt file to open it in notepad
Now you will have to remove the _un
once you remove the _un you have to click file/save.
it should look like this after saving the file.
Now close the file and it will ask you to update the .zip file. click OK
Step 3: Now copy the updated .zip rom to the root drive of your phone.
Step 4: on your phone go into the settings/system update/
click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and click local update.
Select the new global rom you just put in your root directory and install.
Step 5: Do not click the reboot after the update is finished. Instead hold down power button and power off.
once the device is powered off hold the volume up and power to boot into recovery.
Wipe / factory data reset.
reboot to new rom.
Couple of notes:
if you do click the reboot after installing the rom, i think everything will be ok. you will just have to power off the phone and reboot into recovery (power button/volume up) as stated above to wipe.
I think this will work for any version of the rom (global/jap/chinese/uk) as long as you edit to the correct country code in the payload_properties.txt file

Thanks for the tutorial CUKIO34.
I will loose root after wiping data and factory reset ?

I do not know, I originally performed this modified rom update on a unrooted phone.

Hello !
Here a mirror link for the firmware (v414): https://mega.nz/file/Lpgl2DoB#rANR7S_k35xfgm4gr4mp1mJsG-wFdpggx6m124s4MuI
Thanks for this tutorial !

To those trying to Switch from CN Rom to Global ROM, please re-consider. I just tried it yesterday and it was successful but very unstable. my phone just bricked FYI

The flashing went smoothly but after wiping data, the device is bootlooping...

I've been using the global rom now for 10 days with no issues. Are you guys using method of pressing the power button + volume up to enter recovery to wipe?
I'm using the 3.14 USA global rom.
Someone posted a link to the Europe 4.14.

Me too., but after Wiping data, the phones doesn't boot anymore (bootloop). Do you know a way to restore it (adb sideload for instance) ?

I haven't tried adb yet.
Was your phone previously rooted?
Can you get to the recovery using the power/ volume up?

i have managed to reached recovery but because my phone is not rooted, there is no way to inject the Stock China ROM so i can flash the phone. if anyone has any ideas? TWRP doesnt have an img file for NX709J yet

once you reach recovery wipe data and factory reset. It should boot into the new rom if you loaded it correctly.

for my case it doesnt show wipe data and factory, it boots back to fastboot mode each time i reboot.
i ran the boot.img from cmd via fastboot already still no luck.
Let me know if i missed out any steps. my usb debugging is disabled and i cant inject any zip through ADB

My device had been bricked for one month after trying this tutorial. Fortunately I was able to bring it back to life. I just converted the Payload file of the CN Rom into .img files. Then I flashed my device in fastboot mode using the commands that I put in a .bat file. Feel free to DL the folder and try if you are in the same mess I used to be.https://mega.nz/file/tFQUzAzT#_SWNRdVyxIueOl__V4Jxh_P-3IKufw52LMalhTr1b3Q
