Can't boot into TWRP (E6633) - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Sony Xperia Z5 dual (E6633) and installed TWRP:
Code:
OKAY [ 0.945s]
finished. total time: 0.951s
sending 'recovery' (15988 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.423s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.161s]
finished. total time: 0.587s
All looks fine so far. However I can't boot into TWRP. When I do 'adb reboot recovery' it just reboots the phone but I don't get TWRP. Do I need to do anything else to get TWRP working?

Try flashing recovery again? See if it helps.
While booting up the phone, press the 'volume up' key to access TWRP.

ZTE kis Q can not be rooted yet using fastboot

It has taken a long since I tried to root my ZTE kis Q with no success. FramaRoot didn't work, so I tried adb and fastboot. However I think the recovery image from Clockworkmod is no working with my ZTE version, because it refuses to install it when I make

i need help to fix this set

Only fastboot with unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)

I got a Nexus 5 that won't boot. When you turn it on normally it hangs on the Google logo indefinitely. Recovery mode results in the red triangle logo. The only thing that 'works' is fastboot. But when I plug it into any of my PC's they all say: unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) in the device manager.
I've tried installing various drivers, but it won't detect my phone in any way. As long as the descriptor isn't known by Windows it cannot install any driver. It will just resort back to the error message. Is there any way for Windows to recognize my device again?
I've tried various PC's and USB cables / ports. It's the device at fault not my other hardware for sure.
I plugged in my Galaxy S6, and it works just fine. Now the funny thing is when I plug back to Nexus 5 it is all the sudden recognized. I flashed the stock firmware back and it hang on the google logo again. Now going to fastboot the device is not recognized again. Recovery mode now also results in a Google logo that is stuck instead of the triangle.
After some retries I can connect in fastboot and the device is recognized as: "android bootloader interface"
Now how can I unbrick it? I am able to flash something to the device, i've tried the Restore_Nexus_5_KTU84P toolkit. It flashes but when it's done the phone reboots into the same brick mode.
When I manually try to flash an .img it says:
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
The bootloader remains unlocked when the phone is rebooted? What OS is on the computer? Tried different USB ports and USB cables?
Tried with Ubuntu and I can flash stable now. But no matter what stock OS I flash (tried 6,5,4.4) after that flashing is done and the phone reboots it stuck on the google logo again. Any options beside throwing it in the bin?
And yeah, the bootloader stays unlocked.
Tried the unbrick method as shown here:

Flashes fine, also the memory tests pass. But it doesn't change the situation at all.
If when you try to lock or unlock the bootloader and after a reboot the locking or unlocking didn't take that usually means the emmc is bad.

Are you flashing the userdata.img file too? The file should be flashed last. After flashong, immediately boot into recovery and perform a factory wipe, then reboot.

I did indeed also manually flash all img files including the userdata.

After flashing I cannot enter recovery, cause every mode except for fastboot results in a stuck Google logo.

Let's try something. I'm going to have you try to boot into twrp recovery and if you can do a factory reset from that. At the bootloader you'll use the commands fastboot boot twrp.img. Where twrp.img file be the full file name of the twrp recovery image. If you don't know where to get twrp Google teamwin nexus 5. Download that to your pc. If it boots to twrp go to wipe and wipe the device. Then try rebooting to system.
So you can't enter recovery, even from fastboot mode?
I couldn't
Don't ask me how, but today I flashed it again to show my collegue that it wouldn't work. And after flashing it it came alive all the sudden. I'm a happy man! Everything seems to work except for the camera, but that is probably something else!

Hmm, disconnected and reconnected the charger, phone froze. Reboot and now it's stuck on the google logo again. I think this phone is toast
--
Another update
I removed the cover, and all the sudden it booted fine again. The battery was loose inside and there was some duct inside to keep it in place. This phone has been repaired before because the screen was broken. I think something is short circuiting in there. I got it booted now and first I'm going to give it a full charge.
I declared it dead, was able to actually get TeamWin recovery flashed and it worked. Then after some time it was dead again and unable to boot. Also the camera was broken. Thanks for thinking along guys!

Z3 bricked, no recovery

Hi all,
somehow my sons' D6603 messed up and didn't boot anymore. Had an old CarbonROM installed before, but that failed for no reason I can pinpoint.
OK, to recover I tried to reflash the ROM - but boot process got stuck in boot animation for hours (until battery ran out).
OK, so I fired up flashtool and tried to install an FTF - but all FTFs I tried to retrieve failed to unpack.
OK - one more try - got me a stock ROM that was supposed to be flashed through recovery.
Now I get Sony splashscreen, then display turns black and stays like that forever. Only sign of something happening is that the notification LED blinks occasionally.
I tried to enter recovery - wouldn't work at all: never saw any change in boot process.
I can put the phone into flash mode and into fastboot - so I tried to flash a new TWRP:
Code:
[email protected] ~/temp/TWRP-z3 $ fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'FOTAKernel' (15904 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.502s]

OKAY [ 0.501s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.055s]
finished. total time: 1.556s
But still the mobile won't boot into recovery
OK, there's a different TWRP available - but I can't flash it to FOTAkernel:
Code:
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ fastboot flash FOTAkernel twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'FOTAkernel' (10808 KB)...

sending 'recovery' (10808 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.721s]
finished. total time: 1.063s
Can anyone help me to get stuff working again? I'm lost for options right now - TWRP won't come up, and I can't get an FTF via flashtool to my harddrive. Any other ways to unbrick the phone?
Got a recent LinuxMint 19.x here as my machine right now. Getting a Windows up and running would be an obstacle (although I might get a hand to one).

Installing TWRP on Gome U9

I was wondering if anyone has had any success installing TWRP on the Gome U9?
The bootloader is unlocked and everything appears to be ok when I run the code.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending 'recovery' (23300 KB)...
OKAY [ 7.223s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.326s]

c:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 7.207s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.083s]
finished. total time: 7.298s
But when the phone boots, it just boots normally. If I power off the phone and boot into the options and select 'Recovery', it just shows the standard options. It never boots into TWRP.
first you need to unlock the bootloader, and then install twrp

The bootloader was unlocked. I figured out what was happening and now it's working. If you run 'fastboot reboot' after installing TWRP is falls back to the default recovery. The key is to boot into recovery again after installing TWRP via the Volume Up/Power buttons.
