[Q][D2303] How to root with unlocked bootloader?

Hi guys! Im on 4.4.4 with unlocked bootloader, the only way to root this device that i found on the internet is to use locked bootloader tutorials.
Is there any easy way to root unlocked bootloader D2303 on 4.4.4 18.3.1.C.1.15? I tried flashtool but when it installs towel root and i press make it rain! it says this device is not supported. Thanks in advance!

Here is one easiest way, but its over chinese app called KingRoot.
1. Download latest KingRoot.
2. Press Root button
3. Allow USB debug in Developer settings(Tap 10 times in Phone info on Build number to get Dev. settings)
4. Install Philz Recovery
5. Flash SuperSU V.249 BETA! Important!
6. Flash RICDefeat.zip
Same way is described here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/how-to-permanently-root-xperia-m2-t3106534
But dont forget to flash SuperSU V2.49 BETA and RICDefeat & remove KingRoot apps.

Update your bootloader using emma, then flash a recovery like CM12.1 Recovery from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lfub133wy5833bx/recovery.img and flash with it SuperSU zip and RICdefeat. Then you're done.

Actually that's a locked bootloader method.
And Kingroot also sends your IMEI info to chinese unknown servers...

Then there's no reason to happen that. The lines appear when you boot it normally or when you try to enter recovery by keep holding the Vol- button?

The phone is off. I press the power button it vibrates, then for 5-6 second the screen is black. Then the lines shows up and no boot. Vol- pressed or not is the same.

Go in fastboot mode and run fastboot erase recovery .
Again, I see no reason why this could be happening as this recovery runs in it's partition, isolated, so if you don't run it (Vol- button from the beggining) then it should not interfere with device boot up. Try flashing the latest kernel from the .15 ftf also.

I reflashed the recovery trough fastboot and now only if i try to boot recovery the blue lines shows up. I think that is a problem of the recovery.

No, it shouldn't as the problem only was the GPIO Keys... Not screen driver problem... But yes, looks like you can't use the CM Recovery.
Format your fastboot partition with fastboot erase recovery and use the locked bootloader procedure... What a pity.

Need Help. Nexus 5 says google when trying to turn on

I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.

Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.

Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.

Thank you but I do not own a windows computer

Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:

USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.

Boot into recovery from fastboot?

Hello, I have an Honor 6x, with unlocked bootloader, and wanted to install TWRP so I booted into bootloader
and flashed twrp.img via fastboot, but now everytime I want to boot TWRP it just shows the message:
Your device has been unlocked and
can't be trusted.
To learn more, visit:
*some link I can't post cause I'm new here*
Your device is booting now...
and then it is stuck in this state...
could I eventually boot into TWRP directly from bootloader via fastboot?
Please help guys, thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:

Hello. Replying here as I don't need a new thread for a very similar issue.
Brand new 6x with EMUI 4. Unlocked bootloader successfully. Using adb/fastboot tool I boot into bootloader, then flash my twrp img. For some reason this goes fine with no errors but takes less than two seconds (cause for concern?).
Now from this point is where I am having trouble. Regardless of what I do, the phone only boots into the EMUI recovery screen. I am aware of holding the volume up key on the first boot after flashing twrp so that it won't be overwritten. I have rebooted the phone manually and also through fastboot while holding the volume up button.
In a new city and only internet I have is thru my phone so this process is really slow due to all the restarts etc. Thanks in advance for the help!

Same problem here. I have a Honor 6x (BLN-L21) with Nougat on it (Build BLN-L21C432B360), unlocked it with the unlock pwd and tried to flash the TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-2-berlin.img) with 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-2-berlin.img'. After that I get always the same message after reboot or if I try to enter the recovery mode.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi there,
I have found it. To get the TWRP Screen I had to press all 3 Buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Power) at startup.
Hope this helps.

Sadly this doesn't work here, on a BLN-L21C432B130 with EMUI 4.x and Android 6.x
3 Button start method brings up always the EMUI recovery screen.
Power Button + Volume up Button works fine here with all TWRP versions up to 3.1.0-0, but never on a newer one.
Additional hint: It works only if the USB cable isn't plug into the device and if the phone was powered down before. That must me the reason why I never get that up, if I'm rebootin using the command $ fastboot reboot cause for this the cable connection has to be used

@all who stuck in bootscreen...flash THIS TWRP...

[LG G4 H815] Just need to reboot into recovery directly...
I have kinda the same problem: I flashed TWRP and a friend of mine told me that I need to reboot into recovery directly after flashing TWRP because otherwise the system replaces TWRP again when I type "fastboot reboot". The problem is I cant shutdown the phone and also the key combination of the LG G4 is not rlly working, I tried it dozens of times on my other one... Is there ANY other way of booting to recovery from bootloader / fastboot? Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I read something about "boot twrp.img"... Is that an option or does it just also flash TWRP?

From the picture you uploaded, says that your bootloader is locked, so that is why you can't flash any custom recovery. First you need to unlock your bootloader first but BACKUP FIRST, cause it will erase your internal storage when you unlock your bootloader. After unlocked, then you can flash custom recovery. Hope that helps.
Edit: but if your bootloader is really already unlocked, than try this, flashed twrp, then power down your phone by pressing the power button, then boot to twrp by press power button + volume down buttom. Don't reboot to twrp using the option im bootloader mode or using adb.

Google Pixel Flasher Using QPST

Hello
I have a Google pixel 128 GB device but recently it got bricked after an ota update. Unfortunately my phone is not rooted or unlocked. So I could not do anything under fastboot, also adb is crashed.
So the phone is bricked. But it can be rectified using QPST is edl mode I suppose. But as of now there is no such development for qpst for Google pixel.
But there are many users they face the same issue recently.
Is there any chance of development for it?

you said bootloader ! you mean the phone can boot into bootloader mode ! after that you said edl mode ? i dont understand. please explain. i may help !

*The Phone Goes into Fastboot with no problems.
*In Fastboot Mode if i try to go to Recovery, The Phone Reboots and does not go to the Recovery But it Keeps on Rebooting.
So the Recovery Partition of the Phone might be Corrupted.
So im looking for ways to Flash the Recovery partition with QPST or any other methods.
Fastboot Doesn't Help Because the Bootloader is locked.

I do believe I've tried this to no avail on a Verizon g-2pw4100-022-b (the "b" probably stands for "brickable").
I'm stuck in the same situation:
Power+vol down - bootloader
Bootloader to recovery - boot loop
Bootloader to barcodes - barcodes show
Edit: power on only leads to constant screen flashing unless you hold volume down for bootloader, at which point you can vol up once and power down.
Can't flash a recovery, can't flash an OTA since that requires adb sideload, which is part of recovery, and can't flash a factory image with the bootloader locked, which is only unlocked under development tools.
One thing to note is that in the bootloader screen, both "b/l" and the one below it (radio?) both say "n/a", which leads me to believe the December update from Verizon could be the cause.
Suggestions as to how to proceed are greatly appreciated.

I have a Reddit thread how to activate qpst .
You can also "adb reboot edl" if your PC can recognize your phone at least.
If not, power button and volume up(or down, I don't remember) for at least forty seconds sometimes brings it up
But then you'd need firmware to flash with qpst and I'm not sure how to go about doing that

Can you fastboot boot twrp ?

Are there any solutions to enter EDL Mode in google pixel without adb?
