Stuck in TWRP, cant connect via ADB, SDCard unavailable = Phone bricked? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello experts!
I followed this tut here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTlosea6SJE to root my Sony Xperia Z5 phone and to use a costum ROM. Everthing worked, but after (~09:00 min.)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
[I]Okay[/I]
fastboot flash revovery recovery.img
[I]Okay[/I]
fastboot reboot
and entering TWRP (2.8.7.0) by pressing ON + VOL DOWN
I am stuck here.
- I cant get a connection from my PC to the phone, its not recongnized anymore in ADB (result blank) after
Code:
adb devices
- the extra SD card (in SD card slot) is not mounted and the TWRP-mount option dont let me select "Micro SDcard" or "USB OTG".
- I cant copy images or zips or any files to the phone plus I cant read data from the ext. sd card (fat32, 4096 bytes) when inserted in the phone.
Asking for help:
How can I mount the SD card via TWRP-Teminal ?
How can I adb connect the phone to my PC again ?
Any suggestions to reflash the phone ?
I really appreciate any help!
Thans a lot !

Blue led on = not bricked !?
Connecting the phone to my PC via USB, with holding Volume up, brings up the blue LED.
But with
Code:
adb devices
the phone is still not recognized.
Dont know what to do next...

[SOLVED] Re-flashing a ROM with TWRP only on phone
After failing to manually mount the SD-Card or a USB-Stick via OTG-cable through the Terminal with command line function, the xda-user L33Tgod gave me the (simple) tip via pm to use the flashtool and flash the phone with a valid ROM (again)... THX a lot L33tgod!
As a result, I can access my phone & my SD-Card again. Now I have a working ROM on my phone and I am no longer stuck in a TWRP-Menue only, without the chance to communicate with the phone via ADB etc.
So I followed the below how-to (nothing new, I know, but the solution for my problem)
Flash your FTF firmware file
This section details the steps needed in order to flash new firmware onto your Sony Xperia device.
First of all, open Flashtool and then click on the lightning bolt in the top left of Flashtool as highlighted below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select “Flashmode” and click “OK”.
You should already be in the source folder where the FTF firmware files are located. If not, navigate to: “C:\Users\[Your PC Name]\.flashTool\firmwares”
Select the firmware build version that you want to flash from the “Firmware” pane. Ensure the device variant is the same as the model number of your Sony Xperia device.
If you want to retain your apps, data and media (photos, videos, music), then ensure that the “USERDATA” option within the “Wipe” pane is unticked. However, we recommend that when upgrading a major new Android version, a clean install is the way to go. In this case, tick all options under the “Wipe” pane. This will wipe all of your data though including your photos and videos, so please ensure you have these backed up elsewhere.
IMPORTANT – For FlashTool 0.9.19.10 and older: If you skipped Part 2 of the guide as you already had your own FTF firmware file, then you may see the following ‘SIMLOCK’ option ticked under the “MiscTA Exclude” pane. DO NOT untick SIMLOCK as it could lead to problems with the network lock on your device.
IMPORTANT – For FlashTool versions 0.9.22.0 to 0.9.22.2: The developer has changed the meaning of the tick box in newer versions of Flashtool, which means ticking the box includes “SIMLOCK”. Either way, you want to ensure you are NOT including SIMLOCK when flashing firmware. So to be clear, when presented with the “SIMLOCK” option below, you must NOT tick the box.
NOTE – For FlashTool 0.9.22.3 onwards: The developer has disabled “SIMLOCK”, which means you no longer have to worry about accidentally including it in your firmware flashing. The option is only enabled by entering ‘Pro’ mode. Unless you know what you are doing, then stay well away from Pro mode.
Click “Flash”. Flashtool will then indicate that it is “preparing files for flashing”.
You may have to wait around 60 seconds for the pop-up below to appear. Once it does, you should now connect your Sony Xperia device. Make sure the device is powered off and then hold the ‘volume down’ button whilst connecting the USB cable. Once the pop-up disappears and flashing has started, you can let go of the ‘volume down’ button.
Flashtool will then start flashing your Xperia device.
Once you see “Flashing finished” as indicated below, your Sony Xperia has been successfully flashed.
Congratulations you have just installed Android Marshmallow! Now disconnect your Xperia device and power on the handset. Don’t worry if it takes a while for the handset to boot, this is to be expected.
To confirm that you have upgraded the phone software, click on ‘Settings > About phone’, which will reveal your new Android version and firmware build number.
If you would also like to confirm the region firmware that you have downloaded, you will need to access the service menu option. To do this, open the dialler and enter the following: *#*#7378423#*#*
Then click ‘Service info > Software info’. The CDF is an eight digit number under the “Customization Version” that should tie in with the firmware you downloaded from XperiFirm. For example, you will notice below that the CDF (software customisation version) of 1298-7362 matches the same firmware that we downloaded in the XperiFirm screenshots above.
Thx to all the helpers !

Confused
Hello,
I am confused on this part of the steps:
6. Press 2 Download
7. Once pressed connect the terminal to the pc "OFF"
I press download, on the step 7. does that mean connect the USB cable from the PC to the phone? What does it mean by "OFF"?
After I press Download and have the USB cable plugged into the phone with the phone on and unlocked nothing happens Please help!
(USB Debugging enabled, device is listed in adb devices, and I can access storage and SD card)
Install any drivers, okay?
Select only the recovery in flashtools. Tighten download. Then connect the phone off the usb. The flash will install the recovery. Then see if the recovery has been successfully installed. And install the root by recovery.
Drivers installed ok. I selected only recovery in flashtools, and clicked download, and then plugged in USB.
Should I use USB debugging?
Should I use "USB Storage" or "Media device (MTP)" or "Camera (PTP)"?
Thank you!

Got it!
I figured it out
Here's the steps I did:
1. Install ADB from here rubenalamina.mx/download/525/
2. Install drivers provided in the original post here.
3. Reboot PC.
4. Open command prompt with administrator privileges, and type: cd c:\adb
5. Then type: adb devices
6. Open flashtool provided in the original post here.
7. Select scatter file as described in the post here, and clicked download.
8. While flash tool is running the "download", plug in phone with USB cable and restart the phone and it will work, with an OK window at the end like described in the original post here.
9. Unplug the USB cable, reboot phone and hold volume up key as described in original post.
10. Install SuperSU as described in the original post here.
DONE!
Anyone try this successfully?
Thanks for the guide.
It worked for me smoothly, many thanks!

Nope, no impact on data.
Actually you don't see a difference except that root apps ask for permission (SuperSU pops up)
Btw: I just installed supersu via recovery, not busybox as described sometimes.
Sucessfully did it just yesterday.
Bluboo Xtouch doesn`t turn on after trying root
Hi,
After I've tried to root nothing happened on the flashing tool, so I've tried pressing volume up + power button and my pc just did a sound of plugin a cable and nothing happened in my phone, so I've tried to turn my phone on and it didn't work. I've tried pressing a lot of combinations trying to turn it on with no success. Can someone help me? I don't know what to do anymore since my battery is no removable.
Don't work
I try to flash TWRP and to root but after pressing download button and connect phone, nothing happen.
(adb drivers are OK).
Edit : Procedure available with last rom (Jan 12th 2016) ?
Some help ?
/system/xbin/su how to remove this
Hi
I'm trying to install a enterprise app but during the install I got a "policy violation", because my device is considered rooted, since under /system/xbin there is a "su" file.
I already did a upgrade to last version from (room) Jan 12th 2016, but the /system/xbin/su persists... I think this is because it is a maufacturer built room from Bluboo but the true is I'm unbale to install the enterprise app. I already try to delete / rename/ move the su file, but I don't have permissions...
I don't want to root the device.... maybe install an official "android 5.1" but I'm afraid to do it, and I don't know how to do it...
so anybody have a suggestion how to fix this issue ?
Many thanks

[C2304] Installing TWRP or CWM recovery in the Xperia C

Well, I just purchased this device and came here after that to look at what we had and I'm disgusted.
And there are several reasons for that, being:
1 - Locked Bootloader...
2 - This forum seems somewhat abandoned, which leads it to be somewhat disorganized.
EdiT:
Thanks to our friend repey6 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5704037
TWRP 2.8.7.0 is now included, and it works just ok, with all functionality.
I strongly recommend you to use it instead of any other recovery. Just make sure to backup your ROM again after installing it, as CWM or Carliv backups won't work in TWRP.
I replaced the old TWRP included in the attachments with the new one provided by repey6, but the installation process remains the same.
Plus, this was not created by me and it's mad old (2014). But still it works better than the Carliv Recovery we have available here...
So Let's go. The proccess is the same for both, just choose the recovery image you want in the end of the topic.
(almost forgot to say that if your phone bricks it's you responsibility, I tested it in mine and it is working fine)
STEPS:
STEP1- Root your phone (if it's not rooted yet).
To root your phone you'll need to:
a-Download the framaroot APK provided in the attachments
b-Install it then click in the Boromir option and the su binary will be installed.
c-Download SuperSU from google play store.
That's all, simple like that.
STEP2- Check your bootloader's S1 Version
a-Open your dialer and input *#*#7378423#*#* , then go to Service Info>Software Info> S1 Boot Version.
b- Check if yours is 2.14.J.2.6 or 2.14.J.2.13 or 2.14.J.2.16 . If yours is one of these go ahead, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
If yours is 2.14.J.0.68 do not proceed, as it will 100% brick your phone.
c- My phone has S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.1.15 and in spite of the developer having not mentioned anything about it, I risked it all and my phone flashed the recovery normally, so if your version is also 2.14.J.1.15, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
STEP3 - Install the recovery
NOW, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HERE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE:
a-Download the mobileuncle.apk file provided in the attachments and install it.
b-Download the twrp_xperia_C.img file provided below and put it in your internal memory (not on the external). Rename it to recovery.img, otherwise mobile uncle won't see it.
Now, here's the part you have to mind, so you won't brick your phone.
Mobile uncle can install a recovery using one of two methods. One is by installing the image from your internal memory (which we'll be doing). Other is installing it from the internet.
Now, YOU DON'T WANT to install a recovery from the internet, as mobile uncle doesn't provide any image for your device. So if you flash any of these recoveries, you'll never be able to make your phone boot again.
See in the image below and you'll get what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
c - So, before proceeding TURN OFF YOUR WIFI AND DATA CONNECTIONS so that mobile uncle won't show any recovery from internet
d-Open mobile uncle.
e-Grant Super User
f-Press "Recovery Update"
g- With wifi turned off, you'll see only your recovery in the screen
h- Click it, the file size of the file I'm posting must be around 6MB ( 6210KB for CWM), if it's different cancel and download file again.
i- press ok and restart.
DONE
:good:
EDIT:
I just noticed that after flashing the recovery you might get your phone stuck in the SONY logo after it.
In fact it happened to me, but just once.
If that happens don't panick. Recove the cover of your phone and besides the SIM-2 slot you'll see a tiny role with the word "reset". Insert a needle in there and your phone will restart normally.

Thanks for the guide! Does this also work on the C2305 model, or is it strictly for C2304?

It should work in both, I'm using a recovery for C2305 in my C2304.
Just don't try flashing a C2305 ROM on your C2304. It will not hardbrick your phonw, but the SIM cards will not work and you will get a mad functioning phones.
Some custom ROM's based on stock firmware work in both though.
Hey anyone tried for xc 2305???
So my S1 bootloader version is: 2.14.J.0.68. Is it for sure there is nothing that can be done?

Sorry for the late reply! Haven't been able to test this until recently due to an issue getting my PC to work properly with my phone. Anyway, I would like to confirm that I was able to flash this on my Xperia C2305 that had S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.0.68. The photo below is proof of CWM running on my Xperia C2305:
Things you will need:
WMShua SuperFlash: http://soft.flushrom.com/WMShuaSetup.exe (after installing, you can change the language to English by renaming Program Files/wmshua/language to Program Files/wmshua/language_x)
Xperia C 16.0.B.2.16 FTF: C2305_16.0.B.2.16_TacoNikky.ftf or C2305_16.0.B.2.16_Congngheviet.ftf (pick one; I used TacoNikky's version)
Procedure:
1. Open WMShua, then click on Flash (not Super Flash). Browse to the FTF file you downloaded. You can choose to backup system before flash (I unchecked it on mine). Follow the screenshot below for guidance:
2. Turn off your phone. Next, hold down the Vol- (volume down) button on your phone. While holding down, plug in the micro USB cable. The LED will flash red. When it changes to green, release the Vol- button. WMShua should automatically try to install the needed drivers. After installing drivers, it will begin the flashing process. If your phone turns on instead, simply unplug it from the USB, turn it off, then try again.
The flash process may take a long time (it took 30+ minutes for me), and sometimes it may look like it hanged, but it's actually working. Just be patient. Once it reaches 100%, your phone will automatically boot up. Check your S1 Boot Version—it should now be 2.14.J.2.16. You may find that you've lost root, so you will need to root it again (I use KingoRoot). After rooting, follow the instructions on the first post to install CWM or TWRP. Good luck!

After reading this I was hoping that you could steer me in the right direction. I have a C9 Pro and it wont boot up properly. It remains at the samsung screen and then shuts down. I went on www.sammobile.com to search the firmware variants but could not find one for Canada. I know how to use Odin and I know how to flash my phone, so that isn't my concern. my concern is that I am unable to find the variant I need. The one for China that I found says its "open market" but that only means for China that it is open right? or can I use that over here in Canada? Also once I flash the phone with Odin would you suggest that I use TWRP as well?
thank you in advance for your help I really appreciate it. KARELESE1

Hello.
I've SM-C9000.
having some Chinese (maybe) chars in the settings, although I've English as main language.
This image from software info:
Last update was on Aug 2017, every day I check for updates and NO Updates.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to change the firmware to Middle East? (UAE, KSA, Egypt.. ) ?
2) What is the date of the latest available update, and how can I update to it?
Regards

Nubia M2 Emergency Tool 1.1.4 {unbrick tool}

The program is in Chinese.
Earlier English versions do not see this phone.

Everything you do at your own risk :
- install the program. Although in Chinese, nothing complicated should arise
- the program will offer to install qualcomm drivers
- run the program
- turn off the phone connect to USB
- click on the phone and hold all three buttons. The phone will turn on
- the phone connected to the computer will appear at the top and buttons will be active
- for backup press the leftmost arrow with the up arrow
- for unbricking press the middle icon
- for restore press the right icon
- for backup select the folder where the backup will merge
- will count down to 100% and the slider from the phone to the side of the computer
- exit the program.
The program asks something, but it's also clear where to click.
In the folder will be backup hardware parameters around 60kb.
This tool works only with these devices

There is a password for the file "M2_NX551J_V1.48_Android6.0.1.7z" so we cannot un7zip it.
You don't have to unzip it. It will unzip by it self only when you unbrick (middle icon)
service area
quote:This backup program makes backup only of the service area of the phone.and it is only 60 kb.
what does the service area include(what kind of files are these) ?? i want to backup the Nvram files of my phone
It can be done with twrp but want to make a backup before installing anything and before altering or changing things on teh phone first
i did find a progarm on the russian forum that is called QPST.2.7.460 and seem rather complicated
maybe will i need this program to make a full backup?? 60 kb is clearly not a copy of the full system
Thanks for this thread.

QPST does NOT do what you have in mind.
I can understand the need for every precaution but adb commands are relatively safe and rarely cause issues. Once you have pushed a TWRP image in, you're pretty much in the 'safe' zone. Also this Nubia tool seems to have the capacity to push a working recovery in and unbrick the phone.
This program creates a file called nv.qcn with a size of 417kb (It's compressed, that's why we see 60kb).
Nvram

My main question is not answered, does the files of this emergency tools contain the Nvram files of the phone when making a backup?
Yes
Snapdragon use qcn files not nvram.
Just make a backup and save it to a safe location.
Thanks.
* When the phone is bricked, the tool seems to have the ability to flash the stock recovery into the recovery partition.
* Once this is achieved, you can download an Update.zip and use it with the update function of the stock recovery to bring the phone back to life.
* If errors like invalid IMEI, no IMEI etc. comes up, you can use the tool to restore these parameters back.
* The Chinese forums say that the version number of Update.zip has to match the version number of the ROM you had when you took the backup.
* So, the best time to take a backup is before you do anything (keep an update.zip of your original ROM with you).

Forget the listed devices. Have you TRIED to use the tool. If the tool can detect the device and if the name is displayed correctly, then you have a chance. Also try different versions.

This "click on the phone" came out of Google translate. The original instructions were in a different language. Don't worry about it.
Can the tool detect your phone (the buttons get activated in recovery mode)? It doesn't matter if the phone is restarting.
If so you can use one of the other 2 buttons (easily detect which) to upload a recovery image. Once this is done, boot into the stock recovery and do the rest.

How to repair a soft-bricked Huawei Mediapad T3 8 KOB-L09 when update dont work

Hi all. Today iam gona show you, how to unbrick softbricked (bootlop etc) HUAWEI MEDIAPAD T3 8 KOB-L09 in HARD WAY(When update from sd and over USB don`t work
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSE FOR ANY DAMAGE!!!
Firstable look on this site:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=828565
It describes how to do it if update from sd-card and update over usb fully works.
In this post, however, I will describe how to cope when both options do not work (the system does not recognize UPDATE.APP or update over usb does not work, or - after updating- tablet still continues to bootloop).
Ok, let`s start. Warning!!! It will be difficult and cost of money :/​
Needed tools:
ADB & FASTBOOT
Additional drivers
DC-Phoenix(PAID!!) https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/A5ABD248BD6D4FDBABDED15CE5046E64 or Huawei-Update-MultiLoader-Tool (FREE!!! )https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=3850
EF-tools from Easy Firmware to login into site.
Pendrive with at least 4GB freespace and OTG USB cable or SD-CARD.
We gonna also need board software(paid) And full software assined to our device. Thank`s good`s not all is paid
This software - among other things - allows updating via SD-CARD and OTG cable. Unfortunately, it's Chinese.
Uff!!!
How to flash Board Software with DC-PHOENIX?​
First: battery at least 70% charged (for safety), but it would be best if it was 100%.
Download and install firmware and drivers for you device.
Buy a credits for DC-Phoenix, witch allow you to doing flash.
Download board software from Easy-Firmware site
Turn phone into fastboot/bootloader mode (powerdown device with long-pressed power key, push VOL- button and connect tablet to PC).
Open DC-Phoenix.
After opening u will see a login window.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Enter the username and password, then log in to the server.
After login, u will see window with information, where u can get a tutorial to flash.
Regardless of what you press (yes or no), the program will guide you to main window.
On the right side u may choose update file and customisation file (usually main update file is in root of "dload" folder, and customisation file is in folder inside dload, but in case of "board software" the path-to-file ,after unpacking will be look something like that ~\KOB-L09C500B007\KOB-L09C500B007_降级包 ). In "Update firmware" tab we have two options: standard and advanced. Choose first one, and next in field "Update file" navigate to downloaded board software UPDATE.APP file. File will be loaded, and program will show you list of partitions to flash. Then press update button and wait for process to be end.
Tablet will be flashed with board software and reboot.
It may take a while to start. Do not turn off your tablet under any circumstances. This can result in a hard-to-repair software damage (hardbrick) what can result in the need to return the device to a specialist service. !!!​
Well, we've received a tablet with the basic version of Android installed, with several test applications.
We do not need them.
How to flash Board Software with Huawei-Update-MultiLoader-Tool​
Download Huawei-Update-MultiLoader-Tool.
Unpack and open it.
Select an UPDATE.APP file.
In next box select Android-Phone-Multi-Upgrade-Config-PCUI.xml file.
Click "Next", and wait until files will be loaded.
You will see another window.
Press together VOL+ and VOL-, then plug your USB cable and connetc device to PC.
Program will recognize device, else click "Scan" button in top of window.
Wait
Prepairng SD-CARD or USB drive​
Copy the "dload" folder from the software appropriate for your device to the usb disk or sd-card. Then connect it with an OTG cable to the tablet or plug sd-card to device. Press and hold the power vol up and vol down buttons. The software update screen will appear, and update will start. When finished, the device will restart and you should enjoy "rescued" equipment. Another way is to boot in installed "Board" system, and select "SD upgrade" icon.
Unfortunately, I can not provide board software files because of the ownership rights.
It took me some time to find a way to repair it, so if u want to buy me a beer, that is my account number:
