Xperia L stuck on stock recovery - need help - Sony Xperia L

So, with CWM I flashed 7.1.1 taoshan to my Xperia L. The OS works, but when I tried to re-enter recovery mode to install gapps, CWM got replaced with Android stock Recovery. See Image: imgur. com/a/qOSJL
(I cant post links, put the imgur. and the com together)
When I try to Apply update from SD card, I get:
-- Couldn't mount /sdcard
Installation aborted.
E: failed to find /misc partition
I tried to Apply update from ADB, but I just get these errors after opening package:
e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I also tried fastboot, but whenever I enter the bootloader my PC doesn't recognize the phone with fastboot devices , and is stuck on waiting for any device (If it is not in the bootloader adb devices works)
While it is in the bootloader the screen is just black and the LED is blue.
I also tried CWMs and TWRPs app, but neither of them worked.
Can you please help me replace the stock recovery or install gapps without flashing it? Thanks.

You can download the latest TWRP for the official site and flash it with command line in your windows pc
. This is the command for the fast boot if you don't know ( fastboot flash boot ......File name.img ) you can also flash it with flash tool
And if your computer can't find your phone then reinstall the Xperia L drivers

[Q] Multiple Recovery Issues

I have wiped my stock android to install CyanogenMod but I encountered error status 7, upon restart I ClockworkMod recovery could not mount the sdcard/internal storage so I couldn't even install stock android or cyanogen that way. Furthermore when I try and flash another recovery like TWRP due to another error in command prompt which is, error FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail)). So I have no android installed, I cant flash another recovery and the recovery I have cant read my internal storage,
I'd love some help and if you need any more information just ask.
I have unlocked my bootloader and it also says Tampered as well as Unlocked on the bootloader.

[Completed] Help for installing a ROM to a Huawei Y635

Hi.
This is my first time attempting a custom ROM installation on a smartphone. I have so far unlocked the bootloader with the code that Huawei provided me and downloaded and installed a recovery (i think its a recovery) called TWRP 2.8.7 with its own bat file. The command in the bat are:
fastboot-windows.exe flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot-windows.exe reboot
I assume its installed now because there was no error (I did this while on fastboot mode).
Now I have the ROM but I have no idea how to install it, because I do not know how to get into the new recovery mode. Please help.
Update:
I have entered the recovery, and now I see how to flash the .zip file (got the .zip in my SD) but I get an error:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Carbon_4.4KK.zip'
Update2:
Looks like the ROM was for another model. I have installed another one, no error this time, but when I restart, it keeps sending me to the recovery instead of the Android OS...

Hello,
You may visit here Huawei Y635 Development and read the entire thread carefully. Might be you downloaded a different device's ROM even for the second time.

failed to rebrand from AL10 to FL19 - now bricked - need help

I have totally failed to rebrand my FRD-AL10 (EMUI 5, Nougat) to FRD-L19 (because I was hoping to get rid of all the apps/functions/messages in Chinese) by following the steps listed on another thread.
I did eventually manage to get it to identify as FRD-L19 but when it did boot up it had no stock keyboard only voice commands and the phone was unusable . it said it was Android 7, model FRD-L19 and build number was nrd90m test keys?
I tried to update with the latest FRD-L19 update.app by copying it into the dload and vol up+vol down +power buttons press but the update failed and since then I am stuck with the phone refusing to boot, or to boot into twrp recovery.
It hangs at the booting now orange letters screen (It says "Your device is booting now...." and nothing more happens.
If I hold vol up and power up, it hangs at "Your device is booting now...."
If I wait until it says I can press vol up for Erecovery it goes into Huawei erecovery and that tries to download latest version update by wifi, it connects to wifi but says "Getting package info failed".
If I go to reboot from erecovery it goes back to the Your device is booting now.... and stops.
I can shutdown from erecovery (but if its still plugged in it goes straight back to "Your device is booting now...")
From shutdown (and unplugged from USB) - if I hold vol up+ vol down + power it goes to EMUI Installing update then Software Install failed. The update package does not exist. Please download the package again. Reboot system now.
I don't know how to put an alternative update package into dload when I can only use fastboot mode and nothing else?
I can do that by shutting it own from erecovery shut down page and holding down volume and power up.
I assume I need to go back to stock firmware for FRD-AL10 like this one from another thread FRD-AL10_C00B135_Firmware_China_Nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_05013LBP
and not version 7.0 stock rom for FLD-L19???
Anyway, I unzipped that and use Huawei extractor tool to extract Boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img and sys.img as suggested on this thread.
I can fastboot flash 3 of those but the cust.img fails to flash with "partition error"
I also tried to fastboot format user data but the command failed FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I don't think its possible to use the unbrick function of huawei multitool because I can't get into recovery mode?
I don't think I can get a different copy of update.app file into the dload folder internal memory and use the vol up+ vol down +power buttons because I can no longer get the phone to boot to system.
The fastboot screen says PHONE Unlocked
FRP Unlock
Would be very grateful for suggestions on what I should be doing to unbrick this, please. Sorry for being a stupid newbie.... and I honestly have been reading these threads day and night for 2 days but am still stuck!!
Thanks
Edit: is part of the answer to try to flash a different version of twrp again? So I have to put the right version of twrp.img into my adb folder and then fastboot flash recovery twrp*****.img ? Then I might be able to fastboot boot recovery ? Or if twrp works I can flash the right stock rom? (which one? given I was trying to rebrand)
Or if I could somehow get back system to boot, I could use adb push to put the correct update.app into dload on internal memory and use the vol up+ vol down +power???
Bro first flash the compitable twrp

Thank you
That was the twrp had success with before..... but everything seemed to go wrong at step 5 of the debranding guide. Where I was supposed to do a data wipe when the device immediately rebooted after installing the zip?
Then I was confused about whether I needed to put the firmware update file into sdcard/dload or not and whether it should be internal memory /close instead. And whether the firmware was correct when it said Android 6 when the phone said it was android 7????
And then there was no keyboard only google voice.....
But I will definitely start by trying to flash that twrp again... and if that can work... then the L19 Rom from your debranding guide again. And let you know.
Thanks

So held down power which started the reboot and enabled me to press vol up to enter erecovery and choose shut down.
then volume down whilst connecting usb to PC to put into fastboot mode
then copy your file twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img to minimal adb directory on my pc
then in minimal adb: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
I have got that far.
Then do I fastboot reboot?
and hope it boots to system so I can copy over the zip file from my pc with file explorer and then
do I adb reboot recovery (to get into twrp)?
then install the FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip file using twrp? (or do you mean another method of installing that rom)?
then still in twrp I do Wipe: format user data?
then do I reboot to system?
At what point do I need to copy the update.app to sdcard\dload and use the vol up+ vol down + power to install the update?
Thanks again

After twrp sucess you have to biot the device it will works normal but you have to go reboot to recovery and do a factory wipe and shutdown then after doebload the official firmware of frd19 which is mm and dlaod the update.app and three buttons trick it will update and relock the bootloader and update to EMUI 5 by the phone updater app in settings
I got this far:
So held down power which started the reboot and enabled me to press vol up to enter erecovery and choose shut down.
then volume down whilst connecting usb to PC to put into fastboot mode
then copy your file twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img to minimal adb directory on my pc
then in minimal adb: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
then I rebooted and got back to the screen where system fails to load "Your device is booting now"
So I pressed power off and then held down volume up but it boots only to erecovery so I pressed shut down and decided I needed to unplug usb.
I tried again with holding down volume up and powering up and managed to boot into twrp.
In twrp I do wipe: swipe to factory reset.
Twrp says Failed to mount '/cust' (invalid argument)
and Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)
with windows explorer on my pc and the phone in twrp I can only see the /sdcard but I can see the FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip is there.
So in twrp I go to install and I try to flash FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip from /external_sd (with the zip signature check and reboot after install boxes unchecked)
It starts to write UPDATE.APP..... Completed! script succeeded....
E: unknown command []]
updating partition details....
Failed to mount /cust (invalid argument)
Failed to mount /data (device or resource busy)
Failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
Failed to mount /product (invalid argument)
I try to wipe data and get the same Failed to mount messages
I down load Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L19_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_United Kingdom .zip on my pc and unzip it.
I copy the dload folder including update.app to Honor 8:microSDcard
Then I went to power off in twrp so I could do the 3 button load from dload but twrp says "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to power off?"
So I'm not sure? Please can you help again?

bro neglet the mount issues after update.app write sucess reboot the phone once and let it boot comoletly .after that dload the offical ROM of frd l19 . and do a reset in stock recovery.
Ok so I rebooted and EMUI said it was doing a factory reset
then the phone booted up with asking me for language, wifi password
then it wants to do a quick update FRD-L19432B360 2.83 GB so I hit quick update.
then it reboots like a normal set up and the keyboard works and everything looks ok. It says that the build number is FRD-L19432B360

No bro not needed , enjoy the device .
Add the fixed tag to the thread.:highfive:
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------
Bro but i will suggest you to from marshmallow go directly to the new update of nougat using firmware finder because, the update from b360 is stopped, sh!t huawei server stopped the update idk y , many people also stucked in b360 , so my idea is just go to latest update in firmware finder from marshmallow.
Any help just reply.
If you got another update from b360 just neglet my above steps and go on . Enjoy.
It was ok today when it wanted to update to B389. Now I'm stuck back with only erecovery again.
I can get back into fastboot and unlock the phone again and I put on twrp again and got back into it but
I'm confused about which firmware I need to flash
The latest version for FRD L19 in firmware finder is B392 and I would need the 3 files - update.zip, update_full_FRD-L19_hw_eu.zip and update_data_full_public.zip and to flash all 3 - I tried that but got a lot of errors and it won't boot
But I need to flash something or put on the MM dload/MM update you posted first? do I go back to the B131 MM you linked before first? Then I somehow update to the B392?
I'm so sorry to keep asking stupid questions!!

Flash this first update_full_FRD-L19_hw_eu.zip
And then flash update.zip .
If after flashing reboot got strucked in blue screen just format factory resey in recovery.
I flashed update_full_FRD-L19_hw_eu.zip
And then flash update.zip .
They both failed with error 7?
So I went back to your B131 and my phone is unbricked but this time I didn't accept B360.
But how do I get to the latest Nougat?
From Firmware Finder I thought it was B392 for L19CB432 but maybe its B384 for L19C10??

ZC520KL ( X00HD ), TWRP: no OS installed

I have broken my phone ZC520KL ( X00HD ) wiped system, data, cache in TWRP with no backup made now the TWRP shows "no OS installed"
When I try to install a ROM ( tried many already ), I got the "error 7" message.
Is there a backup that I can get? Can you please help?
PS: my phone is rooted with bootloader unlocked
Many thanks in advance.
I've managed to fix it by doing the following:
Copy the original recovery from a firmware package.
I could find one in the file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474829889, location /Asus_Zenfone_4_Max_ZC520KL_20171225/Firmware/recovery.img
Load default recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery/original-recovery.img
Restart to bootloader
fastboot reboot bootloader
Load flashboot mode
choose the option "update using adb"
ensure that adb can locate devices with
adb devices
load firmware with
adb sideload UL-ASUS_X00HD-WW-14.2016.1805.374-user.zip ( try download from: https://www.beritahuaja.com/2018/11/download-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl.html )

Hi
Could you solve the problem?
I Have a solution but is it still in a state of not having an OS?

Can't sideload, can't mount '/data'

Hello
I'm trying to install crdroid on my oneplus 8.
I was on stock OOS 13, IN2013_11_f.63
What I've done :
1. flash vbmeta.imag
2. unlock bootloader
3. flash twrp twrp_op8_ext4-3.7.0-b3.img from this thread
Now, I try to factory reset, but I can't mount /data (invalid argument), I can't sideload anything.
I'm stuck on recovery cause I can't boot rom.
And I can't see my device on adb, only in fastboot mode.
I've read it was because of usb debbuging, but I can't disable it (can't boot the rom).
Any idea ?
Thanks
oups, just changed usb cable to original one and VOILA !
Sorry
