I wiped simlock file by mistake in Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde. Now my phone does
not detect any SIM card.
I have a full backup including TA that I did via TWRP.
But now I can not install TWRP because my phone does not give me the root access and I
can not do this because "Unnown" status of rooting status in Service menu.
(I perfectly know the procedure to obtain root access and did it many times on my phone with
different firmware.)
1. Can I get this simlock.ta file from my TWRP backup and reflash it? If so, where this
file is located in the TWRP backup? I made a complete extract of all TWRP backup files
in Linux but I found nothing.
2. Can I get root access despite "Unnown" status? How?
3. Can I install TWRP recovery despite "Unnown" status? How?

you can try flashing your TA backup. If all else fails, send it back to sony after reflashing TA

I shattered the screen on my Nexus 5, and G was kind enough to send a replacement (refurbished). Since I have TWRP Nandroid backups, I thought it would be an easy matter to unlock/root/TWRP the new replacement phone, copy over the backup files, then restore. However, TWRP does not seem to be working - I get a bootloop, with an android mascot with a red triangle and the words "no command" when I select "Recovery".
My original N5: unlocked, rooted, TWRP, Android 4.4.4
Replacement N5:
- originally with Android 4.4.0
- unlocked, rooted and TWRP installed with Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT)
- system was then upgraded to 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4
- went into fastboot, tried to select Recovery....and nothing.
Is this an issue with TWRP? Should I try flashing a different version?
Is this an issue with the process? Should I use NRT to "Return to Stock", THEN let the system update itself to 4.4.4, THEN try unlock/root/TWRP and recovery?
Is this an issue with the root process? Should I use CF Auto Root and try to re-root, re-install SuperSU, etc. on the current system?
TIA

That's stock recovery. Do yourself a favour and flash recovery properly without using a toolkit.
Thank you - that was absolutely correct. Apparently NRT either didn't install TWRP, or didn't flash an error message saying TWRP install failed (or I missed it).
I downloaded a TWRP flash image, and after some tweaking with drivers, managed to flash it just fine.
I then copied over my original N5 TWRP backup, and restored it. Aside from some minor data location problems (e.g., Evernote detected new SD Card, re-sync'd all notes), it worked fine and the new phone is in the exact same state/configuration as the original phone.
Now to go track down the "TWRP restore to a different device" threads.
Thanks!
The rule really is never restore EFS from another device.
Old device, backup system, boot and data
New device, make a small backup to generate the serial number folder. Then copy the backup from the old device.
I flashed, unlocked and tried to root my phone with this guide:
http: //wccftech.com/flash-and-root-nexus-5-on-android-6-0-1-mmb29k/
Why I think rooting failed is that that I followed the guide through to the last step and after the last step clockwork mod said that rooting failed and I had two options to root or go back (but judging by the system messages the SU zip was installed). I think here I made the mistake to choose rooting "again". I read later in another guide but concerning twrp that this situation where the SU zip gets installed but the message says Installation failed a bug is and that I should not do what I did.
Anyway root was not achieved as I checked with the root checker app. The recovery mode now looks a bit strange. And I cannot install the current patch for marshmallow because it is an unsigned zip.
Where do I go from here reflash the recovery? And install SU again
Flash twrp, then flash the latest supersu from twrp.
will this wipe my device?
No, it should not wipe the device.
If there is data on your phone that needs to be saved, you could try flashing TWRP, boot to TWRP, mount the data partition, and copy the required data to a computer. Once copied, flash supersu and try to boot.
Hi guys i was trying to install a custom rom on my mate 9 (MHA-L29C432-156)so i followed the instructions ; unlocked the bootloader; then installed twrp 3.1.0-0; on twrp formated data; then full wiped and try to install AurRom from SD; but get a message that zip file is corrupted; so I tried with S.H.I.E.L.D ROM and it flashed , but then when boot goes to eRecovery, and give me 3 options download latest version and recovery; reboot and shutdown. So now I cant boot the phone, when I restarted, followed same steps , format data, full wipe and trying to installing again but getting a message about all zip files of the roms are corrupted; then i try to restore backup; and same again get the huawei logo, then the android logo , phone restarts and eRecovery again.
Please someone HELP, I use this phone for my work...........!!!!!!!!!

Something went wrong here. You can run 'adb logcat' to see the crash details while starting.
If you have a backup on twrp then restore to get phone working. You may need to flash the public and hw-data zips afterwards though.
If you don't have a backup then you could try flashing the C636 off line firmware and then use firmware finder to go back to your original firmware
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
you may just flash the modified recovery ( See Guide subforum ) ) to bypass the update certification and authorization and reflash an original firmware. your stored files will be lost anyway in most cases.
I would bet superuser ( shield ) and SuperSU ( Aurom) messed your boot image. Both are incompatible to each other and, afaik both are incompatible to twrp 3.1.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.2, reboot to recovery again to change version, flash the rom ( f.e. shield rom), boot once up, reboot to recovery and THEN you may flash twrp 3.1
Thanks all of you guys, I've solved the problem, it seems that's something related to the sd card, I've formated the sd and transfer the files trough another phone and then put the sd on the mate 9, I follow the steps as followed before and works successfully, now I'm on AurRom and 182 firmware.
Hi, I was given G920F to remove the simlock. Android 7.0 (AP ver. G920FXXU6ERF5). Removed simlock using Z3X box (just bought, it was my first phone I've tried to unlock using this box). To do so, it was necessary to root the phone, so I flashed the latest TWRP with Odin, installed Magisk, removed the simlock. What if I'd like to unroot the phone and back to stock recovery? Simlock won't be back? Will be necessary to wipe data/factory reset? I have full copy of the content of this phone (Smart Switch) and all partitions (TWRP), but let's say that I'd like to do as little as possible steps to restore the phone to original state (of course without lock). The reason why I'd like to unroot is because of many apps shows warnings and / or doesn't fully work (mostly banking apps / Google Pay etc.). I know, some can be cheated with Magisk Hide, but not all of them and let's say it - it's not my phone. When I uninstall Magisk, the phone goes into bootloop and I don't know is it needed to restore stock recovery to get out of the bootloop and what will happen when I do this?
OK, I've checked what will happen if I try to flash stock recovery again... First, I uninstalled Magisk and got bootloop as expected. Then, I flashed back the stock recovery to replace TWRP, but I got bootloop with dm-verity error. I've tried to wipe cache partition, no luck. I have to go back to TWRP and Magisk again. Any ideas how can I unroot the phone?
Edit: OK, once again... I flashed full firmware with Odin. Fortunately no data loss, so I avoided reisntalling / restoring data from backup.
I tried to root Realme 5 on stock ROM after a lot of failures and a visit to their service centre to flash stock ROM [It's free].
Code:
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong, this worked for me, I am not guaranteeing that this will work for you.
You should know the risks of rooting and mucking around where you are not supposed to be.
Code:
After rooting, stock ROM will show you an annoying red blinking pill in the status bar saying your phone has been rooted.
And no it can't be removed because xposed doesn't support our device.
Code:
You won't be able to set a pin or fingerprint after unlocking the bootloader.
Realme 5 is a pain in the ***, piece of **** phone if you want to root it with stock ROM.
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Flash twrp from fastboot mode. Download it from here.
3. Flash patched vbmeta immediately after flashing twrp. Download link.
4. Boot into twrp. Backup System, Vendor, Boot partitions on YOUR SD CARD [important].
5. Format Data (not wipe).
6. After formatting data download dm-verity disabler from here and flash it via twrp.
7. Now restore the backup you took before and download magiskmanager and flash it via twrp.
8. Boot into the system. Voila! your realme SHOULD boot up now with root.
The only thing I need now is a stock recovery for realme 5, can anyone please provide it?

Why there is need to restore backup ?

Because you have to remove encryption and to remove encryption the phone has to be formatted, After a format, you have to install an OS on it, in my case, it was the stock ROM, so I restored the backup of the stock ROM I had taken before.

No need to restore backup, because it only format userdata partition.

I specifically said FORMAT data, Format data deletes all of your partitions. Including system.
unlock fail
is there any method to unlock the BL?since mine realme 5 showed this is a carrier customized phone after i start depth test.......
by "patched vbmeta" do you mean that the vbmeta has the magisk? so after that I don't need to separately flash magisk too? just go to directly flash the dm-verity disabler?
proper root for rmx2030 didnt came out till now as i tried everything possible got root access and the device was open but as soon i restarted my phone went to bootloop
