Not able to boot into recovery mode

My "Coolpad Note 3" is not booting into recovery mode after Flashing Cool ui 8 V22 Rom & TWRP Recovery. However Normally its booting absolutely fine and its quite stable Rom. But I seriously need to flash TWRP in order to install SuperSU and Xposed Installer. Anyone Please suggest any solution Asap.
(Also My Titanium Backup(Apps+Data) could only be restored after granting root access).

Did you flash the correct recovery for your model number?
Have you tried flashing the recovery again?

Yes I Have flashed the correct recovery with SP FLASH TOOL (Mtk 6753 Scatter file). It shows that it will boot into recovery mode but again screen blanks and same process repeats.

Do you know of your bootloader was unlocked before you flashed the recovery?
If it was locked then that is why it won't boot to recovery.

Yes, it's the same for all android.

This still doesn't work if your bootloader was locked when you flashed your recovery.
If the bootloader was locked, you'll have to flash a copy of your stock recovery.
Then unlock the bootloader, then flash the recovery. It will probably work correctly then.

As I Know, Coolpad Note 3 comes with pre-unlocked bootloader. And Earlier I had TWRP installed in it with the same method. I dont think so The Bootloader was Locked as I Have flashed Cool Ui 8.....nd that was done quite easily.

Ok, if you had TWRP on it before then it isn't locked.
Did you at any point create a nandroid backup while that version of TWRP was installed? Have you tried flashing that same version of TWRP?

Yes, those are nandroid backups.
Can you flash the recovery that you used to create those backups? Or is that the same recovery that you're trying to flash now but can't get it to boot?

I dont remember the exact version of Twrp as its not officially available for my device. But ya..I had tried to flash 2-3 recovery.img 's (including the one which I flashed earlier). But no one worked...it just repeats the same process.

The device may have came with bootloader unlocked when you got it, but you flashed a stock update Cool UI 8, if that stock update came with a locked bootloader as part of the update package then your bootloader is locked now, and that would still explain why you can't flash or boot to TWRP.
Verify whether the Cool UI 8 v22 firmware itself came with an updated and locked bootloader. It has nothing to do with whether your device came with unlocked bootloader.

Ya I Have checked...Coolpad has locked bootloader for this firmvare version. What should I do now....Should I flash the earlier version of cool ui 8 or Is there any method to unlock ot manually?
(Ps: Not able to find Adb & Fastboot drivers for this device)

I'm not sure about the bootloader, I didn't find anything about unlocking bootloader for Cool UI 8 v22. Does it have a "OEM unlock" setting in system settings? If so, enable it and then see if you can flash/boot TWRP. Try fastboot with the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
But I did find something about how to root your device, if the information is correct. You might be able to root what you have then use FireFlash or Flashify to flash the Xposed Framework and get it working. You probably won't have unlocked bootloader or TWRP though.
But, you also might be able to downgrade to your previous firmware but I'm not sure if that will unlock your bootloader or not. The locked bootloader might not allow you to downgrade your firmware.

[TESTING] Flash Patched boot.img to achieve Systemless Root

WARNING:
Please do every preparation that could fix your phone to original state before doing this trick.
DOING THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
I managed to unpack the official firmware of Nokia 7 and 8, and patched their boot.img with SuperSU Systemless Root.
But I don't know if it works on them.
Patched boot.img can be downloaded at:
https://mega.nz/#F!igsBmarT!3rIjD4ZaZN8ueOTVmciGwg
Here's the method you need to do:
1. Install OST LA and patch it, and OPEN IT FROM INSTALLATION DIRECTORY DIRECTLY.
2. Flash required firmware before proceed. If you don't do that, you won't be able to access Wi-Fi after the boot.img flashed.
For Nokia 7, you need to use the firmware "C1N-0430-0-00CN-B05" which I haven't released to public for some reason.
For Nokia 8, you need to use the firmware "NB1-435J-0-00WW-B01" which released in this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3678487
If you've already flashed required firmware before proceed, you can skip this part.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Use the Service Purposed Bootloader trick I've mentioned in the Nokia 6 Root Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3702354
4. Type these commands:
Code:
fastboot-android flash boot_a E:\NB1-435J-Boot-Patched.img
fastboot-android flash boot_b E:\NB1-435J-Boot-Patched.img
fastboot-android reboot
For Nokia 7, use C1N-0430-Boot-Patched.img instead. I've attached the Firehose, rawprogram0 and patch0 for Nokia 7 in case you want to use EDL Mode on Nokia 7.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. If it's accepted by the system, the phone will reboot twice, and you'll see SuperSU appeared.
However, if "Verification Failed" appeared on your phone, then the trick failed. You have to flash original firmware to restore your phone to factory state.
If anyone know how to fix that in boot.img, that's a breakthrough of Nokia Android Devices.
You may want to use Flashfire to flash Xposed Framework or something else, but DO NOT RECEIVE ANY OTA UPDATES after your phone rooted.
I'm looking forward to a boot.img manual patcher on PC or Phone available, which could patch boot.img to achieve Systemless Root either SuperSU or Magisk and bypass Verification Boot.

This looks exciting. I have to look deeper into recovery options before I dare this kind of experiment...

Tried on a retail Nokia 8 TA-1052 running 00WW_4_35J_SP01
Boot passed but unfortunately no root
End up having to upgrade to 4390 using 4G
Update: Can't install 4390 even when I download the update multiple times. Flashed 435J using OST and tried flashing the kernel again but still no root.

Thanks for feedback.
I'll check if anything wrong.
Can you check if you can install SuperSU manually from Google Play?
After you installed it, is root available?

Nope. SuperSU said "Root not available"

Many thanks for your efforts on this patch, I would love to be able to root my Nokia 8.
Having an unlocked bootloader I am not really worried about, but having root access is a big feature for me.
Any chance this patch will become available to firmware version 00WW_4_390 which is the current latest? (And what my phone is currently running)
Not sure if I can downgrade it to NB1-435J-0-00WW-B01 or not, but I can try that if it is not able to be patched to the latest firmware image.

Thnx hikari_calyx for your hard work!

Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it?

I bought this phone in aliexpress and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Except by the fact that it's a totally obscure phone. You can't even find cases for it.
Anyway, the real problem is the lack of root methods. I tried all the root apks out there without success, and there is no known way to unlock the boot loader.
So, as a last effort, i'm trying to find someone that maybe managed to root this phone and could share the knowlege with us. Or at least find some other Gome U7 owners to share this frustation.
Thank you!

From the Aliexpress listing I found, this is MTK6757CD Android 7.1 Nougat. It shouldn't be so difficult to root.
Have you been able to backup / dump the firmware?

Yes, thats the model!.
About the backup, i don't tried it yet, but i supose i can via ADB comands.
The problem is that none of the root apks work, and i can't try to install a root script via the default recovery.

Holy fuc...king cow! I did it!
The dificulty of finding the files for this phone made this task much dificult than it shoul be, but anyway, for the possible people that come accros this thread, that's how i did it:
download the mtk drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbxsq68g8dd4gk6/MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip
download the stock rom here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Put the stock rom's boot.img on your phone;
Install the magisk apk, click install, and then use the patch boot.img function;
Select the boot.img from the stock rom;
After the patch, replace the patched version with the original version on the rom folder on your PC;
Use the SP flash tool to flash it.
And that's it!
I can't believe it took me four days to figure this out hahaha
Anyway, i hope it helps someone. Have a great day.
Edit: unfortunately the bootloader is still locked, so i can't flash magisk modules. Is there a way to use root privelege to unlock it?

@SkynyrdZ The Link you provided for the stock ROM is for USB drivers.
Possible to link to a western Gome U7 stock rom with playstore on?
Thank you

Is that the only stock ROM out there?
I know it's a chinese phone but it originally had western stock ROM when arrived - As in playstore was available on it. Chinese version is very stubborn in trying to install western apps - Playstore for one does not open when you install via alt options.

I didn't really flash it, i just used the bootloader file on it for the root process. My device came with the stock android rom, with gapps pre-installed.
But as far as i know, you can have play store on any android. Just make sure you install google play services alongside.

I didn't try it because it seens fake to me. Also, the bootloader on this phone is locked, so fastboot comands didn't work when i tried. The only way i could flash anything was with SPtool.
But there's a group out there called twrp builder that compiles the twrp recovery to a lot of devices. I'm trying to put the gome u7 on their queue, but right now, they are busy with a lot of builds.

As you said the bootloader can not unlock why it need TWRP for?

The phone bootloader can lock and unlock as will.
Phone in fastboot mode: ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" then Push Vol+ on the phone to confirm unlock.
But I got the boot loop to TWRP every reboot after following steps to root the phone.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp down load at https://unofficialtwrp.com/gome-u7-twrp-3-2-root/)
Boot to recovery ( this Twrp won't save the language which selected)
Format Data
Reboot to recovery again.
Install magisk
install No verity opt encrypt.zip.
wipe Caches/Davik...
reboot to system but it boot loop to recovery (twrp).
I have to reinstall original recovery.img and lock bootloader in order for my phone to boot normal again. After the phone boot up , install magisk.apk manager to get root.

Try to flash patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file with SP flash tool v5.1844.00.00 use their scatter file.

Wow, my device just could'nt comunicate with the adb via fastboot. I selcted the OEM unlock on the phone and inatalled the mtk drivers.
What i did wrong?
Also, you said that you had to install the stock recovery to the phone boot again, so you dont have twrp on the phone?

I managed to find a way. Lol I'm just going to have to squeeze the old brain to to get this done it looks like. Thanks for the tip. The methods provided all require a system dump of stock firmware to patch TWRP for the phones recovery partition. I may have to cross my fingers and flash the generic unofficial boot image TWRP for android 10 and hope it fits lol. There are absolutely no custom fits at the moment. Of course I accepted the security patch update which made this a bit more tricky. QP1A.190711.020. I found a thread talking about almost the same update except it was two digits more than the version I got. It's been 6 or 7 years since I stopped theming for the galaxy s3. Course I was only changing xmls and pngs for custom roms back then. None of my old team are active anymore. Team Venum and team nOObz are long history. I even lost my log in info for my old profile. Anyways. Wish me luck. I'm going to learn how to port and develope this time around.

I managed to patch the TWRP boot image using the Magisk apk and patch tools but I have no luck unlocking the boot loader..

1. find your firmware file by searching this forum for blu stock firmware repository
2. extract your boot/recovery img file using spd flash tool
3. patch img file with magisk, re-sign it with avbtools
4. patch vbmeta file with avbtools
5. re-flash both vbmeta and boot/recovery using spd research tool
rooted my blu advance l5 with these steps learned from hovatek. ymmv

Can anyone quickly tell me the easiest way to brick this device? My wife will buy me a new phone "when this one stops working"

Did anyone manage to root this device without bricking it? Firmware is not available in the Blu Repo (at least not yet). Our team would love to find a workable method for this phone. We have access to a bunch and want to be able to run Linux Deploy on them and also write app to automatically reboot the phone if the network connectivity is loss.

Hey, I was able to figure out how to deal with this bootloader stuff after many hours of work
Give this thread a look, it pretty much details every step needed to unlock the bootloader: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html
Keep in mind that the OP of that thread is using a way older version of fastboot. For me, r26.0.1 worked best:
Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.1-windows.zip
Mac: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.1-darwin.zip
Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.1-linux.zip
The above step is essential as newer versions of fastboot do NOT have the "fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader <bin>" step
again YMMV, but good luck

Me again, 6 hrs after the fact
Trial and Error enabled root on the V50 - follow these steps
1. Unlock bootloader as above
2. Create a custom signed vbmeta https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32664.html (I used the same .pem from https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html to do this) - Make sure the VBMETA IS ANDROID 10 despite G0350WW firmware saying it's Android 9
3. Create custom boot with magisk (plenty of instructions to do this online, go with the github instructions)
4. Sign the custom magisk boot with THE SAME PUB KEY FROM STEP 2
5. Flash your new vbmeta and boot onto your phone via fastboot
6. Reboot, hope and pray it turns on
This is what worked for me, but again YMMV.

2. Create a custom signed vbmeta https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32664.html (I used the same .pem from https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html to do this) - Make sure the VBMETA IS ANDROID 10 despite G0350WW firmware saying it's Android 9
3. Create custom boot with magisk (plenty of instructions to do this online, go with the github instructions)
4. Sign the custom magisk boot with THE SAME PUB KEY FROM STEP 2
5. Flash your new vbmeta and boot onto your phone via fastboot
6. Reboot, hope and pray it turns on
This is what worked for me, but again YMMV.

to be clear, the v50 uses the same firmware as the g50 plus?

Correct, you can see it when you go to the firmware details of the v50 itself. You can get the firmware files when you search this forum for blu stock firmware repository
V50 is essentially a re-wrapped g50

Hey, is there any way you could get me a rooted image and signed vbmeta? I have all the information that you would need, I just can't do the steps because im stupid. I would pay you to do it if you wanted

If the BLU V50 uses the same stock rom as the blu g50, if someone were to give out their patched vb meta and boot img, wouldn't it work for anyones BLU V50 if they just flashed it?

If I unlock the Bootloader, could I just flash it back with Fastboot?

Just tried flashing recovery and it bricked my phone

you cant unlock the bootloader. follow this tutorial or you'll keep bricking your v50

Actually you can unlock the Bootloader. I already did. I don't know how to follow that tutorial. If I gave you my boot and vbmeta could you do it for me?

can you access fastboot? with an unlocked bootloader you can flash an empty vbmeta and dont have to go through the above steps

Question Need a Guide to Root (Nord CE 2 Lite 5g)

I recently bought myself a new phone ( the same above and now I'm stuck trying to root it )
I've attached the details of my device in the image below
I successfully managed to unlock the bootloader yesterday and now I have no idea on where to find the stock rom.
Any help appreciated
Thanks

I have the exact same phone as you.
I used this post to root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rooting-oneplus-nord-2-ce-lite.4500297/
Didn't run into any problems

I have bricked this device (One Plus Nord CE 2 Lite) by flashing the unofficial twrp image for this device. Device bootloops in TWRP.
Previously, I had succesfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted this device by flashing the patched magisk boot.img by following the method mentioned in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rooting-oneplus-nord-2-ce-lite.4500297/)
How to restore the factory image and recover from this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

....double post ...already answered
...bricking impossible

Sir, If you have patched magisk boot.img and blank vbmeta.img files on your pc used previously for rooting this device, this will save you your precious time.
Flash the files to their appropriate partitions, the device will overwrite the partitions and boot back with root access.
If you have updated the device after root and flashed magisk to inactive slot for saving root access after OTA the above method won't work.

Installed official version.
But i need twrp for this device.
Any one installed??

Sir, TWRP image available for this device is experimental, unstable and buggy.
There is a problem that occurs when you flash twrp if you are rooted.
After flashing the device bootloops into TWRP and won't boot into system OS even if it's forced to reboot.
Even without root if flashed, twrp cant flash or wipe any data.
On the screen the errors are shown in red.[failed to mount ' / ' ](Invalid Argument)
Let's wait until a stable image is available for this device in the near future.

Thank you .
I want pixel experience on nord ce 2 lte
If any one installed . Please guide me

...pixel experience doesn't work on Nord 2 CE devices ...none of the functions are compatible with this device ...I tried more than one configurations by myself ...the few things you can get working, like Contacts App or Messages App, you can manually download and install from APKmirror or other sources ...no need to "module" these little things
...I would like to change the boot animation, for example ...but to be honest, how often and how long do you see the boot up screen???

i again damaged the os.
This time every thing not working.
it boot loops to fastboot.
Any help ?? @DerDoktore
Is there any msmtool for nord ce 2 lte

...Bootloop to fastboot???? ...that is new to me ...I know the "system damaged" Screen and a traditional Bootloop ...does it "break" the loop at fastboot??? ...or do you see half a second the fastboot screen and restart and again???

Thanks bro, finally got my device back.

Installed Oxygen os 13 beta.

Could just follow the guide/s for the Nord N20 5G since it's basically the exact same device with a different touch panel...
