Bricked Lava Icon - Need Help - General Questions and Answers

After Lollipop Update of my phone (Lava iris icon), I had to root in again and while trying to root it from custom recovery, I bricked it ( may be the recovery is not compatible). So,it stuck in the bootloop and by pressing Power and volume buttons, I am only able to access Fastboot mode. I downloaded the stock rom of device and tried to flash recovery , boot etc. with fastboot commands, but it is still in bootloop. I also tried to flash cwm recovery (though it is not available for device, I chose the nearest one), but in vain.
When I try to flash system partition, it gives error while erasing system <unknown command> (may be due to fact that phone is not rooted as of now). Also, SP flash tools are not recognizing the device and I cant use adb commands also. So, I am stuck with only fastboot in hand and I have stock rom as well as lollipop update, but i am unable to use these due to errors. Can anyone help? I will be very thankful for an advice. Thanks in advance.

is there a partition file with the stock rom you downloaded?
if so, try to flash that first with fastboot.

[Q] Broken boot and recovery image adb and fastboot can not see my device

Hi there,
Long story short, I flashed the latest CWM recovery via the rom manager app, then tried to boot to recovery - but it just went into the bootloader.
Rebooted and tried flashing several recoveries form rom manager to no avail.
did some googling and there was a suggestion to flash the recovery to the boot partition - tried it and now I am stuck. I should have thought before I did this.
No I am stuck with a phone that will not boot into the android OS, I can get into the bootloader and if i select recovery I just get the "google" screen. adb and fastboot do not recoginse the phone when I use the devices command.
do you have any suggestions? I am already in android withdrawal
Hi All,
I am an idiot - I forgot to run fastboot as root (running linux) - I feel like such a noob. At least I had it plugged in
Anyhow Flashed CWM - doing a backup and will be flashing a rom to get back up to speed.
next thing to do is move the fast boot out of ~/bin/ to /usr/bin/ so I can easily run fastboot as root.

Flashing ROM in Fastboot mode?

Hi,
My Moto G-XT1033 one day failed to boot up, even in recovery it won't.
I unlocked the device and tried flashing a Custom ROM using ADB, but the device is not getting detected in ADB mode, however it is getting detected in Fastboot mode. So I wanted to ask, is there a way I can Fash a ROM(any as a matter of fact, i just need it running) in the Fastboot mode?

Phone's bootloader not working

Hello,
I was trying to change file system type to f2fs. For that, i wiped everything in my phone lenovo A6000plus. Then i got out of recovery without flashing another rom.
So now my phone is stuck on logo screen. I connected it to pc but adb doesn't detect the device as there is no rom currently. I tried all the key combinations to go to recovery but it didn't work. However, fastboot detects the device but i can't seem to boot into bootloader using fastboot command. It appears as if somehow i deleted the bootloader. Also i couldn't find a way to boot into recovery from fastboot. I also tried flashing zips and images from fastboot to system partition but it didn't work.
Please help.

Asus Padfone 2 semi bricked (Invalid Kernel message) help

Hi all,
I try to explain all and I try to be brief:
- Asus Padfone 2 with lastest stock rom and update
- Rooted with Towelroot apk
- Have a TWRP recovery that haven't any backup mode, so I want to install a CWM recovery to do a backup of my phone in case I need to format it
- tried with flashing from the recovery: I had signature error.
- tried to flash the lastest TWRP recovery for the Padfone 2: disaster
Now I'm stuck at boot, with Asus Logo and Invalid Kernel message. Can't boot recovery or the stock rom.
I can't flash the recovery with fastboot flash or adb sideload, I have a signature error.
Cannot even flash an unlocked boot.img, same problem. If I try to use "fastboot boot boot.img" it works, but after 30 seconds it automatically reboot before Windows (7, 64bit) install the MTP USB drivers.
I can't do anything, I recently resurrect the Padfone and the tablet and I already killed it.
Help please

Hi, yes I do, but honestly I don't remember.
I saved all the necessary so I think I should recall the procedure if I open that RAR file.
Now I have a BlackView BV7000Pro destroyed, worst than the Padfone (but still it turns on, it reboot immediately after the logo).
I'm a killer

Ok I didn't save anything. I remember something like flashing the original bootloader and recovery of the Padfone or something like that, using adb and fastboot.
Then I flashed a custom recovery and then the ROM.
I remember that it was more easy once done than reading the procedure. I deep searched on Google many different phrases about it.
Sorry I can't help anymore, I couldn't find anything (notes, files, etc).
Im trying to install TWRP without sucess.. but why?
using: fastboot oem device-info
the device status is:
bootloader tampered: false
bootloader unlocked: true
bootloader authorized: false
i did through fastboot mode:
fastboot erase cash
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
and then:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.1.0-A68.img
that looks like right install, but at end, do not work. Always back to screen recovery options to select, recovery or exit to the system. But, when choosing recovery, the device just turn off .
At the first time i'd had install custom recovery CWM and use Tari's rom. That's nice but, have some problems with consuming battery and instability.
I want to install new rom's

Rom Android Oreo for Asus Padfone 2
i'd found out in that website install new rom's like as Oreo.
But I'm in difficult to install TWRP here.
https://android8root.pro/como-fazer-root-asus-padfone-2/
Rom's for:
5.0 Lollipop
6.0 Marshmallow
7,0 – 7.1 Nougat
8.0 Oreo
Android P
CWM does not work because do not accept to flash the file of system over 1Gb
The Padfone is really one of the most useful mobiles phones i have pleaser to own. But unfortunately, old rom's are a source of difficulties to work with app's of today.

Trying to boot into TWRP recovery

I'm trying to install lineage OS 16 on my Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE, in order for it to be up to date and able to use modern apps. I'm really not that tech savvy, but this far I've managed to unlock the bootloader, root the device and I believe I've managed to flash the recovery drive with the TWRP file meant for my device. I tried to flash the recovery from my windows PC, but every time I received "Failed "remote command not allowed" despite the device being unlocked at the bootloader and it is an A partition. So instead I went ahead and rooted the device and afterward flashed the tablet from the official TWRP app. At the end of the flash, I got "Flash completed successfully" which leads me to believe that I've flashed it correctly.
Now the issue is that no matter what I try, I can't boot into recovery mode. Every time I try, it just boots up regularly. I've tried via ADB terminal, through the TWRP app, and physically with the power button+volume down button, but everytime I get the same result.
This has me wondering, could I just download the Lineage image to my device and flash it directly to the boot partition or would this not work? Also what could be the reason I can't boot into recovery mode?
Sorry if this is not the forum for this topic, i just can't imagine who else would be able to advise me on this

Just to be sure, do you have USB debugging enabled?

I do, and of course I went and enabled it again after I bootloaded the device

You said you tried volume down+power, on most devices, that is the combination to boot into bootloader mode, fastboot mode or download mode, depending on the device. Volume up+power is generally the combination to boot into recovery mode. This doesn't seem to be your issue though. Are you sure you flashed TWRP to the correct partition? If your device is an A/B partitioned device, you may have flashed to one of these partitions when you needed to flash to the other partition.
Try flashing a copy of your stock recovery then see if that repairs the recovery partition and allows stock recovery to boot. If it works correctly after flashing stock recovery, you may not be flashing TWRP correctly or the actual flash might be being blocked by something that you're overlooking. Are you certain that your bootloader is unlocked?
