[Completed] Cant't seem to get a custom recovery to work,despite being rooted.

Ok so a bit of background on the hardware I am using a y300 and have the bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted. I have done so in hopes of installing a custom rom (slim kat probably) but the custom recoveries just don't want to work on this phone! I have installed clockword and TWRP (which I have installed, in-app, by img since it refuses to download from the internet?) but yet whenever I go to recovery, even from within these apps I am in what looks like a stock android recovery and cannot install my rom (says installation aborted or something similar). I have granted root access on both and am pulling my hair out at this stage. I have experience with Galaxy's installing custom ROM's so I am not a total novice but this has stumped me, anyone able to offer any advice?
Thank you in advance!

When root is not properly installed, a custom recovery gets overwritten at boot with the stock recovery. This may the issue you are having!
I'd reccomend asking in this thread here [Guide] Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root
Some of the users with the same phone, Y300, may be able to help you!

Thank you very much Sir, you where correct in your assumption that the root went wrong somewhere. You have literally made my day, I cannot thank you enough!

Need Help in Rooting D6603

Hi,
I have a toasters experience in rooting phones. I learned the hard way "How to Flash ftf".
Now i need help to root my Phone, I know that there are hundreds of threads on rooting and Roms. I don't know where to start.
because all threads start differently for me, Just guide me to a thread which has the right stuff for a beginner.
More info about my device.
Model - D6603
Android Version - 6.0.1
Build Number - 23.5.A.1.291
A Little after help like Tips to Install Supersu, Titanium backup, Xposed Frameworks ( Only Thing i Know is the Names) will be helpful.

I'd also be very keen to know this! Without a bootloader unlock.

no , dont extract.
just rename and place the file/s on the following destination C:\Users\(your user name)\.flashTool\firmwares
then open flashtool, , it'll appear where the firmware appears.
alternatively , you can use an app called, Kingroot, to root the device (simple)... and then install recovery as instructed in that post.

Quite Easy, just follow these steps and download some files;
1. Download D6603_23.0.A.2.93 Kitkat firmware and flash via flashtool,
2. Then download GIEFROOT ROOT and root Kitkat with GIEFROOT,
3. Download XZ DUAL RECOVERY for Z3, and Install recovery via PC,
4. After installing recovery, download flashable .291 MM Update and flash it through recovery!!!
5. Hurrah!!! Enjoy the newly rooted device!!!
*Search on XDA for required files or, ask me.

1-Make bootloader unlocked.
2-Install TW-RP
3-Flash the prerooted .291 kernel number rom or another prerooted rom.

Pixel Root Questions

Hi guys. Please bear with me - I am a noob to rooting phones and custome recoveries. I haven't had an android device since ~2011, so I need some time to get reacquainted. (Poke fun at me for using iPhones)
Either way, I recently got a 5" Google Pixel and have been looking for a decent guide to root it. I have done research on the topic, but I can't find a straightforward guide or instruction list. I believe I could do it, I just don't want to risk bricking a $700 device.
From my understanding, I need to unlock the boot loader, adb boot some custom recovery image, then install the latest root package. Again, if my jargon is confusing I apologize - I've beeb with the Jailbreaking community for quite a while and haven't tweaked an android device forever.
Could someone link a guide or help me out? Also I have been reading places that you must flash the supersu zip to two different locations for it to work properly.
In the end, I'm hoping to have my Pixel rooted on the most recent firmware and be able to use Adaway and to be able to update with FlashFire (I think that's the name). Also, I'm hoping to keep systemless root to avoid tripping SafetyNet. I would like to be able to easily update.
Thanks in advance guys, sorry for the long post. Hopefully someone more knowledgable can take me under their wing.

That's the procedure. I booted TWRP Alpha 2 for installing SuperSU, so that I didn't need to worry about the popup that sometimes doesn't show up on TWRP RC1. The following seems somewhat verbose to me, but it's the correct procedure and includes videos if you want to watch someone do each step. You don't need to download the TWRP zip, so like noted, you can stop at step 12 on the TWRP instructions and avoid installing TWRP to the phone.

I was trying to root my device, i unlocked bootloader, whenever i was trying to install TWR my device go through the recovery only, couldn't go through OS, i solved it by installing stock firmware via flashtool, I want to install recovery to install custom Rom, is there any suggestion for a good custom Rom ?

flashing TWRP does cause some issue in the boot partition of the phone if you try to flash it via fastboot .
But if you really want that recovery as well as your rom try this method hope this solves your problem

Can SM-A70F be rooted right now ?

how can u root if ?
please describe the steps, everyone right now is saying it can't be rooted ?
whats the problem?
also is there any one click service that claims they can do it ?

No it can't be rooted right now using the twrp method. You can try kingo root etc app-based methods but I won't suggest. I have always first installed twrp and then rooted, there is no twrp for a750f right now.

I want to update versoin

I don't have the device but if you provide the boot.img and recovery.img and are ready to test, I can compile TWRP for your device

Hi I will soon buy this phone, but I'm a beginner at this, is it easy to find the boot.img and the recovery.img? Is it something a beginner can do?
