Just as mentioned in the previous section, since we want to boot into stock recovery, continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
12.In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
13.This time, we can finally boot to the system with Magisk. Select Reboot system now, and immediately press Volume Up. After vibrate , release all buttons . phone will boot normal

Help on my TWRP bootloop phone

Hello, newbie here..
Need help!! My phone keeps booting to TWRP whenever I turned it on, connected it to PC, or even when I connected it to my charger.
It happened after I mistakenly uninstalled a system app (it is an app named Freeshare). I thought it was just a sharing app like MiDrop or ShareIt, but clearly that was a mistake.
Now I just can't seem to boot into the system, not even able to enter into the download mode.
I've tried a method that I found in here, like entering a code in TWRP terminal (it was "dd if blablabla", i forgot. Lol), to no avail.
Haven't tried to flash the stock rom or stock boot since I can't find any zip Stock Rom for my phone (my phone is Gome Fenmmy Note).
Does anyone have an idea or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Did you flash MISC partition?
Give a try on this (plese, method #2 only): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/
Or you can try to FORMAT the misc partition inside the TWRP.
Or did you flash TWRP to boot partition ??
TWRP needs to be flashed to RECOVERY partition.
If you flash TWRP to boot partition, your device will boot forever to recovery.
If yes, you need to flash the original stock boot.img

But before i mistakenly uninstalled the system app, my phone is completely fine. No twrp bootloop when i rebooting hte phone. The bootloop happened after I uninstalled a system app.
But thanks anyway. Will try this after I got home.

You don't need to uninstall a system app for disabling it completely.
If you've uninstalled a system app, you've modified your system.
1. Did you unlock bootloader?
2. Did you flash vbmeta with disabled verification?
3. Did you root your device?
4. Did you debloat your device?
You can't modify your system before the answer for all questions be YES.
Probably you need to flash the SYSTEM again.
(Only system should be enough.)

For questions 1,3,4 the answer is YES. For question 2, I'm not really sure.
Okay, so I need to flash the system again. Can I just flash the system.img through TWRP? Since it won't enter fastboot or download mode. Since once I connect my turned off phone to PC, it will immediately reboot to TWRP.
Sorry, if I'm asking too much. Please be patience.

Are you sure you can't enter in fastboot mode?
I'm not sure, but I think to flash system using TWRP you need to convert sparse image to regular image using simg2img first.

Well, I haven't tried to enter fastboot using adb yet since the phone will automatically turn on and boot into TWRP if i connect it to PC using usb cable. Is it possible to enter fastboot using adb eventhough the phone isn't turned off and in TWRP mode?
I see, so i need to convert the image into regular image first. Got it.
I'll try all of your suggestions. Hope it worked.

Enter in twrp.
Plug usb cable.
Type "adb devices" and check your device is detected.
And then try "adb reboot bootloader"

If you can enter in fastboot mode, you can flash the rom easily.
But it requires unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked, you need to flash using SP FLASH TOOL.
Just download the stock rom, extract it and flash using any of the flashing script (if available).
Good luck

hardbricked realme 5 pro, No bootloader and No recovery

I tried to upgrade my phone to Realme UI 2 with dirty flash but at first my phone get into a bootloop, I tried to reflash Vbmeta but it made it worse.
I tried this guide about unbrick : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-to-stock-unbrick-and-fastboot-flash.3995285/ but not worked it just returned me to bootloop again.
I locked my bootloader accidently
My phone now only show this message and stuck till I press power button to turn off.
Is there is any way to flash stock ROM again with any tool ?
( MSM tool needs a username and password to work )
and I cannot find any QFIL files on Internet

IS there any way to re unlock my bootloader ?

Password of zip file should be 123
Although I don't have login credentials for msm tool. Paid to a telegram group to fix it.
Problem was I locked my bootloader myself with custom ROM [Following that warning while starting phone] and thought I'd bypass warning.

Just a quick question, did you uninstall/delete the file later? And heads up for anyone using this zip. It seems to be a keylogger. In the zip under firmware, you can see all keypresses along with window it was pressed in, in a file called keylog.txt.

Oh, Thankfully I didn’t need it later as I learnt my lesson and never locked bootloader. If I want to reupload zip, How can I remove it?

Question HELP!!!!

I relocked bootloader and now phone won't boot past bootloader. It's only giving options to "start/ recovery/ restart bootloader/ power off" Phone is getting recognised in fastboot, but since I relocked bootloader I can't flash anything at all. Kindly help me what I can do for this mess. I tried using bootloader lock commands and it's saying bootloader already locked. I'm feeling helpless. Kindly help

First try and enter recovery and see of you can do a factory reset. Can you do that?

Not entering recovery or anything! It's just stuck there. When I turn off and try to restart it again stays the same ie. On bootloader.

I mean can you scroll with the volume up/down buttons to you see Recovery and push the power button to enter recovery like normal? If you can, try doing a factory reset from there. If that's not possible, try doing a RAW firmware install - but check if you can just do a normal reset first..

If adb works just try with
Code:
adb flashing unlock
or
Code:
adb oem unlock
If it doesn't work reboot to bootloader and try again.

OK. Guessing you've locked the bootloader with a tampered boot.img without flashing stock boot back first. You should be able to use a RAW file to rebuild the firmware (your private stuff will be lost though).

Yes I'm quite sure you should be able to flash a clean firmware with a RAW rom. Use the FTM flashall script.

This probably shouldn't be a how to guide and the title should be something more descriptive than "help"
A how to guide typically includes instructions, like this one:

[Guide] TWRP and ROOT for A20e (A202f) [Updated]

My way of installing TWRP and ROOT on A20e (only tested on a202f).
Everything is working both on TWRP and MAGISK.
Versions:
-Magisk (v26.1)
-MagiskManager (v26.1)
-TWRP (3.6.1_9.0)
_________________________________________________
Download attached files:
-TWRP and ROOT(magisk) Odin is included!
_________________________________________________
#Factory reset is recommended!
#Make sure BOOTLOADER is unlocked!
#If you don't need MAGISK stop at step 6 and reboot to system
[TWRP Installation]
1. Extract required files, open ODIN (as Administrator) click on the "AP" button and choose TWRP-3.6.1_9.0.tar file.
2. In the "Options" menu untick "Auto-Reboot" .
3. On your phone boot into the "Download Mode" then in ODIN you can press the START button. (make sure you are connected to PC)
4. If everything is fine there should be green "PASS!" text in ODIN.
[ If your flashing failed make sure the bootloader is unlocked and check if cable is properly connected ]
[Don't let the phone boot into system because it will replace TWRP with stock recovery.img]
6. Boot into TWRP and FORMAT DATA (Wipe/Format Data) to remove encryption.
# If you don't need MAGISK you can reboot to system. Otherwise continue reading the guide.
[MAGISK Installation]
7. From TWRP reboot into RECOVERY again.
8. Connect your phone to PC or if you moved Magisk-v26.1.zip and Magisk-v26.1.apk to SD card then use SD card.
9. Flash the Magisk-v26.1.zip file and reboot to system.
10. When you boot into system install the Magisk apk.
11. Open it and finish the installation process.
12. Reboot
ENJOY!

3. boot into download mode
4. flash twrp

I've been at this for hours, thank you so much !!!

Hello,
I have a Samsung A20e running with the a202fxxu4cvk1 firmware (a11 version). I would like to install twrp and then to root it. I tried several tutorials (Odin, OEM unblocked, USB debugging, time change) but twrp installation fails with message 'custom recovery blocked by frp'.
Can anyone help me?

I duckduckgoed, and found this XDA thread, where the second post says the following :
Nemirtingas said:
FRP: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/frp/
FRP Just locks your phone if you alter the boot or recovery image and you had a google account registered. To unlock it you have to wipe data (factory reset) and reflash stock boot.img and recovery.img before using it again. If your cousin wants to flash my ROM (lineageos-13.0) he'd better not, its not stable and he will encouter random reboots and codecs bugs. The best thing to do is to remove FRP from his phone and flash Magisk (a root manager like SuperSU) and debloat it.
For more information, find the Grandprimevelte group on Telegram.

The rest of the posts mention the need for a modified boot.img, else your phone would brick after adding a Google account, but I don't know about that... I have MicroG on mine with a Google account and no problems.
Anyway, frp seems to be a related to having a Google account on your phone.

Hello..I was wrong. My issue is not related to frp but OEM. OEM is unlocked according to developper menu but is not effective. Not able to upload any custom rom or bootloader.
I read that there was issue (use of a volume up button in download mode).
Any idea?

Indeed, my issue is that in download mode I can only do a volume down button and power button to reboot in system mode. No option to unlock bootloader.

I think you only need to do that once, afterwards, download mode doesn't warn you.
What error message do you get exactly when trying to flash TWRP, at what point, and what gives it (phone, odin) ?

Many thanks for your update. Attached are pictures of the mobile and the Odin result. The error is an OEM issue (red text on the top of the mobile screen). In other forums, I can see that the download mode has an option to unlock OEM bootloader. I can't see it on my phone.

Putting the camera so that it covers the error message, what an amazing idea xD
I have never encountered this error, so let's start from the beginning.
Have you enabled the developer options, and activated "allow USB debugging" on the phone ? Also, if there is an option "allow OEM unlock", activate that as well (not all Samsung phones have it).
Have you installed the proper ADB and Samsung drivers ? Which version of Odin are you using ?

Thanks for your reply.
That's sure that it doesn't really help to hide the error message. Usb debugging is enabled (I am able to run adb commands) and OEM is unlocked on the preference setting. I did the test with Odin 3.13 but same results with newer version. I installed an A11 firmware (a202fxxu4cvk1).
Don't t know how to go ahead. It seems that I don't have the possibility to unlock OEM in the download mode interface....

Wait, what is that about the firmware ? What did you flash, how and why ?
also, try a patched version of Odin from this post (I have 3.13.1_3B)

I bought a refurbished mobile phone (blackmarket). It came with a 9.0 version. I tried to update to a custom rom without success so I installed the latest 'official' version

I uploaded this version using Odin. I also tried the patched Odin version. I read that the patched version only works with a10 version.

Huh...
I have no idea how that behaves, but I hardly see why it would cause a problem.
What else could you try... Restore factory settings maybe ?
Pressing volume up when starting in download mode ? (Note, this supposedly relocks the bootloader if it has been unlocked, if that happens and your phone isn't 100% on stock, it will brick.)
