twrp does not show up in recovery mode. need help with this . Thanks to all.
Follow the instructions from the same place you got the download link?
Thanks, I could not find what page I was on for that. If someone knows how I can do this let me know. Thanks.
and what about the dual partitions on the pixel. am I booting in to the wrong one for this to happen?.
You "fastboot boot" a twrp image for a one-time use. If you want it to stick as you describe, then you flash the twrp zip from within the temp twrp session which flashes it to both slots and will remain after reboots.
OK can you help me to do this?.
I try that, not working.
need step by step for the pixel2. thanks.
Is all here my friend but you have to be willing to look and learn. It sounds like you need to do some reading. This post has some detailed walk through info:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417
It sounds like you might benefit from some research/practice with fastboot as well.
Thanks, you may be right.

I've looked through other posts about this and nothing seems to help. I went to actually UNroot my Xoom so I can install the latest update because I had no use for a root, but when I went to do fastboot flash system system.img with the stock .img file, it takes forever then gives me an error... I don't know how to get past this. I just want my Xoom back to normal, even if I can get it back to a rooted normal I can live with that.
(Also, the first first time I tried unrooting, I realized I used the wrong device files. I used the Verizon ones, when I only have WiFi.)
Somebody please help me, or I feel like I have an expensive paperweight.
Also, whenever I go to restart, I'm stuck at the boot logo screen and no matter which boot.img I flash, it won't go past it.

Did you have ClockworkMod recovery installed? If so, do you know how to boot into CWM recovery? Disconnect from thr computer if connected, and press power and volume up to hard reboot and when you get to the dual core image, wait about three seconds, then press volume down and you should see android recovery in upper left corner, then press volume up and press power to select it.
I'm suggesting this in the hope that you did a nandroid backup before you decided to mess around and that you could somehow still access it.
If not, do you now have the correct system image files in your platforms or tools folder in order to flash from fastboot? Can you get to the "starting fastboot protocol?"
Look for your correct 3.2 wifi images here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080963
Commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
Good luck!

yes if you somehow get into fast boot your problems can be solved.
I do not know whether by pressing vol up at boot time you can go to fastboot protocol screen.

Not sure if I have CWM installed, but I can access fastboot and that's not really helping. I'll try again with the link you provided, but I'm able to flash everything BUT system.img. I'll try again and get back to you.
UPDATE: Yeah... It's doing the exact same thing. It's stuck at fastboot flash system system.img. It just says that it's sending it and it takes a long time before an error message pops up saying that there are too many links.
UPDATE UPDATE: Okay, now, even in fastboot, it doesn't let me flash boot.img. I don't know what to do anymore

It's impossible to brick a Xoom. You can make or buy a factory cable and flash stock images from Motorola and follow up with OTA upgrades or flash whatever custom stuff you desire. The below links should save your Xoom. Don't forget to hit the thanks button

Not impossible but not as likely as you would think with the 100 "I think I bricked My xoom threads floating around.
To the OP...if you do not even know whether clockwork modified recovery is installed on your device then I am not sure you have the knowledge necessary to be messing with your device...I guess most people need to learn the hard way...
Hello all,
I'm working on my tf700t, attempting to install TWRP 2.7.1.1. I'm not running into much success.
I've used fastboot, but it is giving me the error "FAILED (remote: (InvalidState))"
I've also attempted to use the TWRP Manager app on the Play store. When I try to use the "Install TWRP" option, it gives me the error "This is somewhat embarrassing, isn't it? It seems we can't find what you're looking for."
I haven't tried the manual install from img file option, because I haven't found a TWRP img file (just .blob). I have done a fair bit of searching, but I'm not ruling out that the problem exists between the chair and keyboard.
As things stand, I've already used fastboot to erase the previous bootloader so that I was working with a clean start, as recommended by Demkantor's guide. So my Infinity is still booting in stock fine, but it has no bootloader left Fastboot does still seem to work, I should note.
Any ideas? I'd be happy to provide screenshots or work to answer any questions people may have, in order to get this thing working.
Thank you in advance!

Lots of questions...
If you refer to this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
it is NOT specific for this tablet. You can follow the general instructions to set up adb/fastboot on your PC, but that's it. The rest will not work as described on this tablet.
Did you unlock the bootloader with the Asus unlock tool?
You did not erase your bootloader. The tablet would not boot without one. So what did you do?
IF your bootloader is unlocked you either do not have the correct drivers installed or you are trying this on a USB 3.0 port or you're not running the command as administrator or.... something else...
You may want to check out this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
As Bernd says sounds to me like you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet.
I am having the same problem as Asymptotex in regard to TWRP Manager when clicked on install TWRP. I know my bootloader is unlocked because it says so in the upper left corner when turned on.

Thank you. Was looking into an easy and idiot proof way.
Sorry if this is a double post but I need help badly
I cannot get any recoveries to work on my OnePlus 3. Not even stock. Ill flash twrp to it and it will say successful but I cannot boot into it and using fastboot boot twrp.img says it works but my phone just hangs at the fastboot window and then crashes so I have to hard restart it.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I was downloading a OTA update the other day & in preparation I thought I would go ahead & uninstall Magisk. Magisk asked me if I wanted to restore images or uninstall I just uninstalled, not ever having made a image before I didn't know what it was talking about.
The phone rebooted once then booted again into TWRP, I can't get back into my phones OS.
Later I couldn't get back into TWRP so I had to boot using the fastboot commands in Windows. I was able to see & "Backup" the contents of my phone to an external drive.
Now how do I get back into my phone like normal?
Do I need to flash an image or I've seen other threads they wipe the data & there phone boots?
Please advise.
Thank you

First of all, no need to uninstall Magisk - unnecessary and waste of time.
Once in TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img, or via your phone if you still can) - flash OOS OTA update (as that was what you were trying to do).
Then flash TWRP, reboot TWRP. Now you can flash Magisk again (so you get root, since you removed it for some reason).
Everything should be fine.

Unfortunately now I can't get the "fastboot boot twrp.img" to boot into twrp? FAILED authentication.
Now what?
Fastboot devices work & the reboot function works, just can't boot twrp.img. I've seen somewhere I can maybe force boot the device idk if it will work. damn

Sorry to hear. You are going to have to provide logs of what commands you are typing into terminal, and what is the output.
So are you in TWRP or not. I literally have no idea what is going on with your device or what you are doing.
Next time, maybe check guides in this forum of how to do what you are doing.
Randomly uninstalling/installing/flashing/issuing commands via terminal/random backup and restores/etc.... does not sit well with android devices.
I'll try another pc tonight.
If you can get back to twrp you need to flash magik to boot normally
Still can't back into twrp. Failedremote: failed to load/authenicate boot image: Load error.)
Tried a different computer. Tried deleting my fastboot files on PC then copying them from a backup thinking I modified the twrp image wrong thinking this unmotified version would work, still nothing.
Can I get some advice links to guides. Thank you.

Still.... what are you typing into terminal... take a screen shot .....
ARE YOU SURE you are typing 'fastboot boot twrp.img' - BOOT, not FLASH!!!???
I'm now able to boot into twrp. Had to use fastboot --set-active=a. Worked great. Left it like that at home. I'm at work now.
What next?

I would start by reading forum page 1 information about what you are trying to do.
I already explained to you the order to flash to make things work.
If that is not enough, once again, go learn what you are trying to do (via the forum thread).
You will probably save yourself these types of situations in the future if you understand what you are doing.
Good luck.
Everything is FULLY Operational Thank You. What a experience but Ive learned.

[READ FIRST] {BLU G90 PRO} I am new to all this, I started learning about rooting a week ago. If you can help, please explain in detail. TL/DR at bottom
[CAUSE] I'm not sure but I attempted root by useing migisk and lateset firmware boot.img provided by xda.
[PROBLEM] My phone constantly bootloops. I cannot access recovery mode as it just reboots. adb won't work as the phone does not connect to the computer. I can go to fastboot mode though.
[ATTEMPTS] I have let the battery die which did nothing, I tried to let the phone charge but it does not go up that much, but fastboot mode at least lets it chare a little. I have tried to reflash the stock boot.img but adb doesn't work. (see video).
[RESOURCES] I have all files assosiated with this. I now have stock firmware as well. Willing to wipe phone completely. I am bootloaded.
TL/DR: ****ed up root with wrong boot.img in magisk. Bootlooped and low battery..

How to root/alternate for twrp? BLU G90 PRO
I have spent 2 days trying to figure out how to root my g90 pro. I can't find twerp for it and every possible guide I find destroys my sanity when I find out it won't work. I have magisk as a zip file on my phone right now, is there an alternate...
forum.xda-developers.com
[CAUSE] You not know how using fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot devices
If okay so you can using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But the boot.img file is in the folder platform?
[PROBLEM] You need better file patched. Maybe your pacthed_boot.img is wrong! So you can flash TWRP but need modified vbmeta file. I can help with that file!
[ATTEMPTS] two ways: 1- charge battery for using with fastboot. 2- Using SPFT for flash stock ROM or stock boot.img only.
[RESOURCES] You know use SPFT for flashing stock ROM?!
Created 2 posts with same device?? daaammm
Look this guy!: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...310ww-mt6765-android-10.4163497/post-84082633
LMFAO I FORGOT THE ./
but your post also made alot of things click for me. I was feeling down cause I though I ****ed up my first phone before a week even passed. Thanks for the help! Feeling alot better now!
also I got the recovery mode to pop up and I'm downloading verified stock firmware rn. Will update
Everything is fixed! I used spft and installed the stock rom! Everything is backing up now from my cloud account.
Now I want to root even more and I got a bit more experience. I saw your post mentioned a program bprd. Should I use that instead of the twrp build I found for this?
Also thanks!

Where did I write that?
Now understand: You have 2 ways for flash only recovery.img(TWRP or PBRP).
Using SPFT;
Using adb-fastboot.
Obviously if you want ROOT without Custom Recovery you should use magisk to create patched_boot.img and flash with 2 same ways.
