Hi there, a friend of mine soft-bricked her oppo F1 plus (x9009). Now it's stuck at recovery mode. I tried to flash the latest stock firmware (X9009EX_11_OTA_022_all_201609101758) but the phone does not seem to boot into system. So the questions are: how do I un-brick the phone (or simply bypass recovery mode and boot into system)? Could (or should) I try flashing custom recovery (TWRP for example) using ColorOS recovery?
Actually all I need to do is recover the data stored in internal storage of the phone. I came up with two ideas:
1. Flash stock firmware WITHOUT wiping data & cache. This option does not seem to work since the phone is still stuck at recovery mode.
2. I'll flash TWRP since I could access internal storage from TWRP. I'm a bit worried about this resort since if anything goes wrong, the phone will be hard-bricked since booting into fastboot mode to flash zip appears to be impossible as Oppo locks bootloader

Backstory: I tried to load Cyanogenmod on my phone; but first I had to load TWRP recovery in order to get to load it. This is where the issue came; I decided to go the easy route and attempted to install it through Flashify (an app on the Google Play store); upon restarting my phone; it was bricked. I went into EVERYTHING, when I tried to go into recovery it would just send me through the bootloop and then send me to AP Fastboot.
Confused, I called Motorola; and was notified and Flashify had removed my prevoius recovery and failed to but TWRP resulting in this.
Issue: So what I did is I got the CWM recovery specific for my phone (XT926) and went into ADB fastboot and typed "fastboot flash cwm.img", from my ADB folder of course. Then when I booted into recovery, nothing happened; it would just send me through the bootloop again. Please help.

Try another recovery / another version. Did the trick for me and you have nothing to lose
I have 2 XT925s. I bricked one to the point that I could boot to fastboot but could not even get into stock recovery. I was running stock 4.4.2.
I did the following.
I got the DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.41. I used the TWRP 2.7.1.0 in that utility specifically for XT925.
I used fastboot to manually flash TWRP into the recovery partition.
DO NOT reboot past boot menu. Right after flashing, boot into recovery. That should give you TWRP.
I used TWRP to Install CM11 snapshot. I had to manually flash into the modem partition, the modem file also obtained from the above utility. You will need to flash in gapps for 4.4.2.
That recovered the bricked phone.
Of note, I was able to flash TWRP in the other phone. Backed it up. Transfered the backed up OEM ROM into the phone running CM. And get it to run stock ROM.
I now have one running CM11, and one running stock 4.4.2. I'm just comparing battery life. I've noticed CM11 has a smaller memory footprint than stock 4.4.2.
Cheers
did not work for me anywhere to be found stock 4.4.2 recovery img for 926?
I have installed TWRP 3.0.2-0 to my OPO phone. I am trying to figure out why the OnePlus won't boot.
I am happy with the stock rom, but I want to root the phone.
The custom recovery was installed using a tool featured on Xda TV. This is the OnePlus Toolbox.
If I attempt to boot to system, the phone stays stuck on the bootloop process.
I am not sure if I have gained root access, since I was not able to push SuperSU.zip to my OPO.
I made a futile attempt to sideload the SuperSU.zip by installing it using TWRP, but then my phone wouldn't boot into any mode other than the fastboot mode.
So I reinstalled recovery, did a clean wipe and format data.
How do I get the phone to boot normally?

Hi All,
I've been trying to install TWRP, Root etc on my XZP since yesterday. I've done something wrong at some point, and now my phone will not boot at all.
I had no troubles unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP etc initially. I then tried to install a custom rom from these forums and that's where things spiraled downwards for me.
As part of that procedure, I needed to flash the latest sony firmware first. That went fine.
However, now TWRP is not able to decrypt storage, so I'm not able to flash anything else. Perhaps this is because I booted into the new sony firmware and forgot change the pattern/fingerprint to pin/fingerprint.
So I'm not able to unlock the storage via TWRP by entering a password.
I tried to reflash the same firmware again using newflasher. But the phone won't boot at all. It turns off immediately after the Unlocked bootloader warning. It's not going into a boot loop. Just turns off.
I then tried to flash the TWRP recovery image using adb fastboot command, and the flash seemed to execute properly, but I still can not boot into recovery.
Is it possible the main storage is still encrypted, so nothing can flash to it? Bricked? If so, how do I proceed?
I read something about reformatting partitions? But I'm not able to get into TWRP recovery menu to do this.
*EDIT: I reflashed trwp recovery image, and am not able to boot into recovery. I still can not unlock (unencrypt) the main storage though.
*2nd EDIT: I followed the instructions here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-fix-unable-to-mount-data-t3830897
I was then able to flash the stock ROM back onto my device, and I'm able to boot my phone up. I'll look at installing a custom ROM at a later date.

Hello.
My nexus 5 is stuck on a bootloop. It has bootloader locked, usb debug not activated and no custom recovery. I am trying to extract /system because I have very important data, photos, etc.
I tried to wipe cache, I tried to adb sideload a rescue ota with standard android recovery but nothing, phone is still in bootloop. I also tried to flash/boot custom recovery with fastboot but I can't because locked bootloader.
How can I flash custom recovery with BoardDiag? From what I read around the web this should be the only way I have at this point. If I can install cwm or twrp then I will be able to use adb pull. If you have other methods to extract my data please let me know.
Thanks
Hello!
I wanted to update my oneplus 8 from 11.0.4.4 to newest version. OTA was not working idk why. I had magisk in place and I patched magisk to second partition or something like that [I dont remember how it was called] - I'm sure this is the reason of the problems. I turned off devices and wanted to boot into recovery, but suddenly it boot into Qualcomm crash dump mode with message: Attempted to kill init! exitcode: 0x00007f00 do_exit - that's all. I can't boot the system, I can;t boot into recover, I flashed patched boot, I flashed recovery - none of these works. Fastboot is present and recognized by PC.
First question can I do some backup through fastboot? To be honest I was not prepared for such problems. APKs are not even such a problem I care more about photos, documents and other data.
Can I flash some rom and restore phone back to life without wiping my personal data?
Please can you help me? I tried with some tutorials, but no success...
Maybe an idea would be to load TWRP recovery and then do backup, but how to boot into recovery when even after flashign recovery or booting via fastboot it enters in qualcoom crash dump mode. Something must be corrupted, but is it possible to fix some partition just in order to flash recovery to do backup of the files?
Okay I managed to get back to normal - since like I mentioned i patched the magisk into second slot, then probably this corrupted something. What has helped me is this: fastboot --set-active=b
It was not working via powershell I had to launch CMD and then it worked I switched slot to "b" and phone booted normally.
Hi, I'm facing the same problem but probably not for the same cause.
I'm right now on PE12 (with PE recovery) and wanna install TWRP recovery to then move on another A12 based ROM (Evox).
Basically my goal is to replace PE recovery with TWRP. So when trying to install twrp after downloading the ZIP file onto the phone, when I fastboot the img file, it sends me to the crash Dump mode.
How can I fix this? please note I have no issue booting to the main OS.
