I have messed up my lg volt it was on the stock rom zv5 and was running fine with root. I decided to flashify a deodexed version of my rom onto my phone, this of course went wrong as all my phone displays is the Lg boot animation with Fastboot in the top right corner i cant enter recovery mode as I have a bad recovery. I can open up the adb sideloader within Android System Recovery but have no idea how to get it to work as my command prompt does not recognize the command. I have tried a factory reset and rebooting. Help please I am getting desperate. FYI I am 14 and my knowledge on flashing is minimal.

Hello, and welcome to XDA! You could try to adb sideload a rom and flash it. Or fastboot flash a working recovery onto your device, and then sideload a rom and flash it. Or you may have to reflash stock firmware onto your device to get it to work. Here is a guide as to how to flash roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android. To sideload, the command is simply "adb sideload name of file" without the quotation marks. For further help regarding your problem, you can register and post your questions in the XDA help forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help.
Good luck!

I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted using SuperSU with no problem by following these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371
I then formatted data using TWRP wipe, then tried to install Stock Rooted No Encrypted Boot from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-stock-rooted-encrypted-boot-t3303606
The phone never gets past "...unlocked...booting now...." (I did not install insecure_boot because I had trouble finding it---it is not in Mate 8 Android Development, only in Mate 8 Original Android Development.)
I can get to fastboot and to the Huawei recovery in Chinese (which doesn't work---wifi downloading stops with an exclamation point), but TWRP is gone, and I can't get it back by reflashing it. I've tried HiSuite recovery, unbricking using the Italian knife following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/unbrick-updating-to-b321-t3375934
with various roms, and I've tried force flashing an UPDATE.APP from /sdcard/dload. No joy.
I caused the problem by installing a B331 rom when I was at B133—dyslexic much? Once I got TWRP back, flashing a B180 rom worked fine.
The difficulty was getting TWRP back. To do that, I flashed the following files using fastboot—it may be overkill:
TWRP-2.8.7.0-ENG.img,
insecure_boot_b331.img,
and the files in
L29Fastboot.rar.
TWRP
Hey ho!
I had exactly the same problem yesterday.
I figured out my system only was able to boot when I hold down [vol-]&[power].
Then the "not trusted message" had a few more lines and the phone booted up.
When it's up again, you can use adb to reboot to fastboot: adb reboot bootloader
You can also try to go directly to recovery if you alrteady flashed it: adb reboot recovery
From threre you can try again.
btw: I had to use a complete different TWRP version. 3.x somewhat. I think it was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-8-t3298567
Info: I was NOT able to use [vol+]&[power] for Recovery, eRecovery or anything else. I was just stuck.
I hope it helps.
I recommend after getting your device back on track to use twrp to make a recovery on your microsd card. That way u have a sure chance of getting bwck to working order
Same problem here, but when I try to flash recovery or boot image using fastboot, I get the message "FAILED <Remote: command not allowed> ".
Any idea?

Make sure you have turned on debugging mode and that your device is listed with "fastboot devices".

The debugging mode is on since I unlocked and rooted the phone and the device is listed in "fastboot devices".

4-Type in cd c:\adb then click enter
5-Type in "adb devices" it will show the connected devices it should be bunch of numbers

@ teteakholhring. you have done it right go head flashing recovery step.....now u unlocked the bootloader then flash the recovery
Thread re edited please check if u have doubts.
Hi
sorry about my poor English.
I am sure that I flashed magictricks.zip and ticked "OEM unlock"
and the phone is in fastboot mode.
And I typed in "fastboot oem unlock", it showed "Okay, finished",
then I typed in "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", it also showed "Okay, finished".
Then nothing happen, my phone is still with stock recovery, and my data is stilled there, can someone give me a help?
I attached my cmd picture.
Thank you!
^^ I've read from other thread that right after you flashed the TWRP recovery image, you must start-up the phone in TWRP recovery first before eventually booting to Android.
I haven't unlock my phone yet though but I will once I see some custom ROMs available.

All your steps are perfectly right but once u flash the recovery disconnect the phone and switch off from the fastboot then u should boot the twrp recovery first otherwise system will reflash the stock recovery...
Do the recovery flash again and boot to twrp first...
It is not necessary that oem unlock will wipe your data so no worry.
Me too I'm waiting for available alternative roms to install twrp recovery ....I just flashed magictrick and it said that I have update the build.... Thanks sure it will be functional....

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help and I will try to be specific. I am trying to root my Xperia M2 (I have unlocked the bootloader).
-USB debugging is ON.
I am trying to boot into my bootloader, flash TWRP, boot into TWRP, install SuperSu.
I am stuck in the step of booting into my bootloader using ADB. I have tried the simple method of running a CMD and using the "adb reboot bootloader" command. CMD responds with "no devices/emulators found".
I tried the "adb reboot bootloader" command while my phone is on fastboot mode and while it's turned on. None seem to work.
What I am expecting is my phone to boot in a screen showing the android logo. Am I wrong?
Other commands I've tried and the response I got:
Adb devices --> List of devices: empty
fastboot devices --> my model and the word "fastboot"
Before you comment "install drivers", please note that I am aware of this, I have searched the web for drivers and I am pretty sure I have the drivers. If you are familiar with the process of installing the drivers please post the way of installing them, because i might have done something wrong..
I believe that what i am doing wrong is having the phone in the wrong state.. I might be executing a command with my phone turned on, while it needs to be off, so if you could clarify the phone's state in every step, that would be great
I apologize if I forgot crucial details, I am a newbie. Thanks in advance, i will make sure to answer every question and provide info needed.
reboot as boot loader
You already have TWRP means 1st go to recovery mod use switch of mobile and on it Press v- button after vibrate and untile come sony big logo you get recovery mod then there is option reboot in to boot loader ... please check
