I don't know why you quoted me.

You should have quoted the guy trying to get a working recovery so that he gets a notification and sees your reply.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Go read here for all that info. As for lollipop on that device, go to sammobile.com and look up your device, it will tell you all the firmwares available for your device. You can use Odin to send them to your device. A word of caution, you can NOT go backwards when using Odin to flash firmware. The reason being is the Odin file has a bootloader in it and you cannot flash backward bootloaders, so if you flash the most recent you can't go back to another. That being said, with custom recovery, you can always go back to older firmware or a custom ROM...

[General Questions and Answers] MajorBells:
Hey guys again...

I regards to what N_psycho_PD_uh? has told me about the kernels, I have finally managed to understand what is it all about, and think of my next steps.

To install the custom kernels I have to flash the kernels into my device in recovery/fastboot mode.

now I seem to fail to boot the phone into recovery for some reason. I've looked at too many different websites to find a way to boot it into recovery, but none of them work for me.

I've also tried several apps that reboots the device into recovery mode, but all I get is a simple soft reboot.

I think it might be because I have no recovery installed (like xzdualrecovery by [NUT] or w/e) but when I use NUTs instructions to install it it just won't do it.

The error at the installation I get is "error: more than one device or emulator"

I've looked up the error and I've tried the following commands which don't seem to fix the issue:

"adb kill-server"

and afterwards

"adb devices"

When I type in "adb devices", I get this outcome:

"List of devices attached

BH90RPQM16 device"

I'm so lost at this point, because when I was rooting my device using http://forum.cloudsprogram.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6502-23-1-0-726-complete-guide-t3085893 guide, it all worked completely fine..

So I'll tell my device specifics

Sony Xperia Z2 D6503

Running stock 5.0.2 lollipop build 23.1.A.1.28

Rooted with supersu pro using the guide already mentioned before.

*Disclaimer*

I am a complete newbie on this stuff, so might be worth explaining the possible solutions as if you were explaining it to a braindead lol.

Developer mode: ON

USB Debugging: ON

Unknown Sources: ON

Rootchecker says my device is rooted

what else....... Ah (don't exactly know if it's relative) I'm using the original USB cable that came with the phone.

BlueStacks: NOT Installed (don't even know what that is tho)

I will really appreciate every effort to help me solve the issue, and I really hope to hear from someone soon!

I'm off to bed now, will check back tomorrow morning.

Special thanks to [MENTION=5691352]N_psycho_PD_uh?[/MENTION] for pointing me to solutions for my previous issue!

Enter Recovery mode from boot loop

If I get stuck in a boot loop on my LG G3, how do I enter Recovery mode?

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Power off your phone.

Hold down the power button and volume down.

When you see the LG logo, let go of both buttons, then hold them down again right away.

This will boot you to the factory reset menu. (let go of the buttons)

Choose yes, then choose yes again. This will boot you to recovery.

Don't worry, you won't lose anything. This is meant to work with the stock recovery, and since you have TWRP/CWM custom recovery, it will boot you to that instead of going ahead with the factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] tahaa7:
But when I'm in a boot loop, all I see is the LG logo. The phone doesn't react to the power button, so I can't turn it off, or do anything. BTW, I don't have custom recovery.

Another question: if I'm rooted and I do install TWPR, how do I update to a new Android version when it becomes available for my device (I don't want to install custom ROMs)? Do I have to flash to stock version of that firmware? Do I lose data in the process?

Okay.

I think this thread has the information that you need.

Are you on stock? I'm not sure if that thread will help you or not, but it's worth a try.

[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
I don't have an xperia so please take what I day and use it to further your research. If you cannot boot into recovery, I would think it's corrupt or gone. Did you try flashing a recovery into your device; or what we're you doing before you lost your recovery?

Have you checked the forums to see if you can fastboot a recovery into your device? Whether custom or stock. I know on my nexus devices when I screw up recovery, i fastboot a clean recovery on and boot right into recovery. These things happen when we start modding our devices.

I hope I have you some info to Google and keep learning.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Does it have to be completely separate? I ask because I have two accounts on my phone contacts, business and personal housing 1400+ contacts and I can view them all together or by business or personal. Just a thought, but other then that [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] made a good suggestion. Only other option I can think of is scour the forums and find an app dev who you can donate some money to that will write it for you.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do you still have the dual recovery installer that is in your guide? If so you should be able to redo that step by itself, I don't know if you'll need to do anything else but if you're only missing recovery and everything else is in place then I don't see why you would have to go through the other steps, just install recovery the way you did originally. Just make sure you've got a custom recovery if you have your unblocked kernel and intend on installing it.

Are you doing the factory reset/data wipe along with the cache and dalvik wipes, failing to do the wipes before flashing is one of the things that give that error in recovery.

HTC Pico ROM and Recovery in Bootloops

Hi,

I was attempting to install a Lolipop ROM on my HTC Pico and in the process had to install TWRP(previously had CWM). Something happened, and now my exisiting KitKat ROM is in bootloops(CM) and the Recovery refuses to open and is simply stuck at the TWRP welcome image. Is there a way in which I can flash a recovery onto it without using the phone directly but by connecting it to the Laptop somehow? Or should I leave it for dead?(Note: it is not my daily driver)

Best way to fix this?

Hi all. Please bare with me I'm still new at rooting android. I have a RCA Maven Pro 11 that I did successfully rooted. I was working on installing a app with getting permissions changed so it would not keep telling me it was unsupported. App I was using to fix this was build.prop editor. When I restarted the tablet it gets pasted the first screen just fine (rca logo with the dogs) then displays RCA on the screen and just hangs.

What I have tried in order to fix this:

Factory reset.

Clear/wipe cache.

Checked root integrity and it failed

Is there a OEM Rom for android 5.0-V35-V1.9.1? That I can put to sd card and boot/flash from?

Also is there any customer roms that will work with rca tablets?
[General Questions and Answers] Tyaginator:

[General Questions and Answers] xXSarge:
No it's hung on a black screen with RCA displayed that's it. I'm still digging to find out how to fix it. I remember on another junk tablet I had when a certain key combination was pressed it would reset the tablet completely with out going to the recovery menu. But for the life of me I can not figure it out.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
A backup might work but I think some things have to be edited from the backup so it will flash, I'm not sure about that though, I've never had to use a backup from another device, if you can do that you'll have to get confirmation from someone that is familiar with it.

If you are able to boot to recovery with no issues then the sideload should work, when you are in recovery and you connect your device does your PC recognize it?

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

If you are asking about a stock update then you'll need to use stock recovery and you'll lose root and have to root all over again if you want to keep root. You can update with a custom ROM through custom recovery and you'll keep root, but that's only if there is newer stuff available for your device.

If that's the case you might have to restore back to full stock firmware and start back at square one like you did originally.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Power the device on then connect it to PC and let the drivers auto install (you might have to download and install the USB drivers manually). Once it is recognized by PC you use the windows file browser and select your device and it should show the internal memory on the device and the external sdcard if one is in the device(but you obviously dont need pc to retrieve anything from the external because you can just take it out) then select internal sdcard for your device then go through and cut/paste or copy/paste anything you want to keep.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Actually, yes. A backup from the same model will work. But it has to be the same version of that model of phone. (for instance, there are several different versions of Galaxy S6)

Take the backup that you want to flash and place it into your recovery backup folder. For me, that would be storage/ext_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS

Then boot into recovery and choose restore. The rest is self explanatory.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's good to know, I knew that backups could be used but didn't know if there were things that would clash, like any user related differences, or things related specifically to their individual phones, I wasn't sure whether there would be things from one phone that didn't belong in the other such as personal stuff or device ID related stuff. Good to know that its not that particular or complicated.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Are you sure you haven't lost root somehow? That would prevent you from writing anything to system and also prevent you from flashing a recovery.

Yeah, I don't think there is anything quite like what you want. I think I've already answered this on another thread perhaps?

Google does back up your contacts to the Drive. You could share that I suppose. You wouldn't be hiding any contacts that way though.
