I was on 5.1.1 and downgraded to 5.1 stock, everything ok till now?

when I'm trying to flash TWRP this appears

[Moto X Q&A] hachamacha:
Thanks. I'm assuming the battery low message is just a confused response and not really true? Also, I see that the recovery.img (whatever you are calling TWRP) is ~8.5MB which seems fine. It looks like fastboot on the PC (whatever) isn't happy talking to the xt1053 booted into fastboot/bootloader. Could you try doing a "fastboot devices" and show the output back here? If it's anything other than an OK ID number for the device, then it might be interesting.

I'll attach a version of fastboot I just recently used to flash a recovery in case you want to try it.

Another thing: I've never had this happen myself, but have heard about it a few times: When booted, use some explorer to look in your /system folder for a file with a name like this "recovery-from-boot.p". If it's there, supposedly it will keep forcing the default non-custom recovery to be written regardless of what you do. I'm sure there's a work-a-round for that like ..

What about using the "Fastboot boot "your-custom-recovery.img" if you have that "recovery-from-boot.p" problem? It should take you into the recovery you're trying to write without bothering to write it to the recovery partition. From there, you would be root if you can open the TWRP console, and get rid of the recovery-from-boot.p file, install root, etc, then finally, flash recovery with whatever combination of stuff ^^ it takes.
[Moto X Q&A] Mexickano:
There's a "recovery-from-boot.p" but I cant delete it or change the name because I'm not root, can I be root without installing Recovery?
[Moto X Q&A] hachamacha:
Should be able to work around that, but the workaround is to find a way to become root, so I was mentioning this in the last post of mine:

I'm trying to think of ways to do this above and I think that is actually one of them and there should be another way as well.

Way one: There's a fastboot command "fastboot boot "{name-of-your-recovery-img-for-twrp}". That command causes it to boot (well, if all goes well) into recovery without writing recovery. If it works, you're a root user because that's how recovery is. In TWRP, I'm sure there's a console command as well as a file explorer or some kind. You'll have to remount as read-write /system partition. From a console it'd look like this "sudo mount -o remount,rw /system" (I'm pretty sure that's it). You can look it up or try it with a w where the rw is right now. Also you can just do a plain "mount" command and look at the output to see what it's mounted as in case you need it.

If you get into whatever file explorer twrp has available, then navigate to that file 'recovery_from_boot.p' and see if the file system is in read-write mode by trying to rename it (like to recovery_from_boot.p.orig). If that doesn't work, then go to the special commands or advanced (sorry, not recalling twrp that well) and mount /system as read-write whatever that takes, like an unmount & a mount. Then go back to file explorer and do the rename. I hate deleting files I'm not 100% sure about, but you can do what you like there.

Way two: If you can boot into the version of twrp.img on your PC, then I'm not seeing why you can't install root from it too. Worth a try. You might have some other remaining problem between whatever fastboot you've got on the pc and the bootloader, but it's worth a shot. There's a number of write-ups on how to do this if you google it. Anyway, once you've rooted you can reboot and you should only lose recovery, not root. Once booted, install supersu, etc. usual stuff, then if it all checks out, flash the recovery and it should stay once you've dumped that file.

Way two and a half: If I understand how the normal boot works on androids, then you should be able to avoid having recovery erased at least one time by using the buttons either to go directly to recovery (volume_up + power) or (volume_down+volume_up + power) RIGHT after you flash recovery. I'm just thinking that /system isn't going to execute if you pick the right combo of buttons to get into recovery but it'll be a pita because you have to burn recovery then hit it on the first boot after or it's gone.

Cheers.
[Moto X Q&A] Mexickano:
I need to know if there's a way to flash another bootloader or anything else?

If I try to delete the "recovery-from-boot.im" in fastboot this message appear:

X:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot erase /system/recovery-from-boot.img

(bootloader) Variable not supported!

erasing '/system/recovery-from-boot.img'...

FINALLY!!

I solved putting mfastboot.exe into /platform-tools/ and typing

mfastboot flash recovery [recovery].img

Thank you for your effort and time.
[Moto X Q&A] hachamacha:
Cool! I think I also was trying to say "try other versions of fastboot" (like mfastboot). Good deal.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tembares:
Hi all,

I bought a nice pink Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (SGH-I257 AT&T model) for my daughter. I would like to put CM on it.

I am looking for a solution for two days. I cannot find any solution. I do not know how to put TWRP and a custom ROM on it. I rooted my Nexus 6 and phones before.

Can someone advise me how to continue? Did I oversee any links? This device is different than the SGH-i257M (this one can be rooted).

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclee:
Well...

The SGH-i257 (serranovolteatt) can be rooted by using KingoRoot or probably other apps, but I haven't found any ROMs or Recovery for it yet either. Please post any updates here!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tembares:
Sorry, I don't have any updates.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tembares:
I used Kingoroot, but I doubt if the phone is really rooted. I remember Flashify complained that the phone wasn't rooted.

I bought this phone online for my daughter. I really want CM on it, so I can track here better than with the AT&T ROM.

I guess we'll have no luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LateAsAlways2016:
Yeah, I've been searching for a few weeks through forums hoping to figure out how to install cyanogenmod onto it. It says it's rooted, and I can use root apps, but I've not been able to put custom recovery onto it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivtdroid:
Have you had any luck? I'm also trying to put a custom rom on this phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LateAsAlways2016:

I've never had warranty issues in the past but may give in for the peace of mind factor.
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
Awesome! Just enrolled.
[Nexus 6P General] Bounty44:
Same here. Thanks Ovrclck for the heads up, I would have been pissed if I missed the 30 day window. I've never had a phone as big as this 6P and I've been stressed about dropping and breaking it since I took it out of the box.
[Nexus 6P General] Ovrclck:
Same here! :good:
[Nexus 6P General] bergsim:
Hi what do you think guys if you cancel or pause your project fi service they will cancel your plan or you can still pay $5 a month and be covered I can't find anything about this in the agreement.
[Nexus 6P General] FreemanAMG:
I was thinking originally to use my phone bare and pay for the Device protection, but I think is just to pricey. In case you need to replace it in the first year, you have to pay $150. $210 in the second year. Meanwhile, you can get a decent case for less than $10. I have never had damaged a phone so far, and my Nexus 5 did need replacement (twice) but all happened within the year. So I guess for me, it's worth to take the risk.
[Nexus 6P General] Bounty44:
Well just try and keep it mind it doesn't just cover damage, it also covers hardware failure beyond the 1 year manufacturers warranty. In my experience, most flagship phones end up having issues especially early in production. It's actually happened with pretty much every phone I've owned in the last five years. Charging ports that failed in the droid charge, speakers that died in the droid maxx, screen flickering in the Galaxy S4. Sometimes its better to be safe than sorry as the problems often don't appear within the 1st year, especially if it involves a manufacturing defect.
[Nexus 6P General] kellybrf:
this is an even worse rip off than nexus protect. check out upsie. basically the same coverage for a fraction of the cost
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
I pay $8/month for insurance on T-Mobile and I paid $9/month on Verizon. You guys really think $5/month is a ripoff?

FYI you still pay the deductible on both other carriers. Have you guys not ever paid for phone insurance before? :p
[Nexus 6P General] bipoler:
It's not that serious, buy it or don't.

Next
[Nexus 6P General] Tallguy33:
$5 a month is too much. I use Upsie.com. I switched my stuff from Best Buy to them. Figured out I was over paying.
[Nexus 6P General] 12MaNy:
Kind of sh*tty that they won't offer this to people who bought their N6p's through the Google Store. The people who bought from the Google store had to pay for the entire 2 year protection plan up front ($89). Project Fi is owned by Google so why the hell wouldn't they extend the same service to Google Store consumers?

Strike one for Project Fi. Hopefully they don't get to three.
[Nexus 6P General] Bounty44:
I'm not sure I understand your complaint. Google store coverage 2 years for 89, projectfi 120 for the same two years of coverage. I would have gladly paid upfront for Nexus protect as opposed to a monthly fee.
[Nexus 6P General] XxMORPHEOUSxX:
There are also coverage plans you can purchase from other insurance providers within a certain time frame. Squaretrade just requires a receipt and $99 for 2 years.
[Nexus 6P General] jejb:
I agree. Better deal to buy it outright. Actually, I originally ordered my 6P from Amazon. But then found out I could not get the Nexus Protect for it. It's a little cheaper than the Squaretrade plan, the deductible is a bit higher ($14) and the coverage seems similar. I just felt in this case, the plan from Google was the way to go. So I returned the Amazon one unopened and ordered it from Google with the plan.

I've had device insurance either through the carrier or squaretrade for many years, and only used it once. Probably would have been money ahead just putting that money into a bank account.
[Nexus 6P General] NotEaster:
Anyone here try upsie? It's very cheap. Enough to make me suspicious
[Nexus 6P General] slaydog:
Thinking about going for it. I'm hoping this phone will last me a while
[Nexus 6P General] 12MaNy:
Pretty obvious what my "complaint" (if you can call it that) is. Some of us might not need the full 2 year coverage. Some of us like to pay as we go because some of us are always on the hunt for greener grass. Some of us could probably find better device coverage within 2-3 months...... Therefore, some of us like having the option to just use it as temporary coverage until we find that greener grass....

....some of us.
[Nexus 6P General] Bounty44:
Well there's nothing wrong with not wanting a full two years of coverage if you are one of the many XDA users who switch out devices constantly, but one thing you might not have noticed is Nexus protect is also transferable. Just add the cost onto the phone when you go to resell it, as most people would love to buy a used phone with an actual warranty. It's really a win win for everyone.
[Nexus 6P General] 12MaNy:
Yep. It's transferable and that's peachy, but I don't want to dump $90 all at once without knowing all of my options (present & future).....and....like I said in my last post....having that $5 a month coverage is a good temporary option until I find something more permanent.
[Nexus 6P General] stevoo888:
good find, thank you!:good:
[Nexus 6P General] bergsim:
And it works great i dropped my phone in the morning call them get the claim done at 10 am , received replacement brand new 6p in the original box next day at 1pm.
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
Wow. Fi dished out a new phone for an insurance claim?! I had a hardware failure (orientation sensor up and stopped working one day) I had to fight with a supervisor for 15 minutes to get a brand new one for a warranty replacement.

"Well sir unfortunately I can't guarantee the shipping department will give you a new device, we use refurbished devices for these claims" OK this isn't an insurance claim, this is a brand new phone I bought for full price failing through no fault of my own. New phone please. "OK sir the best I can do is put that the customer requests a new device in the ticket number, but I can't guarantee they won't send a refurbished device..."

I had her put the request and also got my new phone.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sega dude:
I have a Nook HD+ that stuck in a boot loop, and nothing I do will fix it. It seems nothing is actually getting flashed to it. When I try to flash something or restore from a nandroid backup, it boots back up like I never flashed anything to it, still in a boot loop. I think it may have bad EMMC. So, I'd like to do an SD install (run CM off the SD card instead of internal EMMC) so that the tablet can be used again. The instructions here say to put the ROM on the internal storage of the Nook. How can I do this if the Nook won't boot? I can still get into CWM recovery. Can I even do an SD install since the EMMC is possibly dead?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digixmax:
The SD-based ROM at the link you referenced still makes use of EMMC (e.g., for /cache). If your EMMC is dead, you need to use a special "no-emmc" SD-based ROM image -- see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44790925&postcount=67 and https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.

[HTC One S] ndaneau:
Hi,

I have the exact same problem... unable to unlock the phone...

when in bootloader : "adb devices" show my device

when in fastboot : "fastboot devices" show nothing and "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" get stuck in "<waiting for device>"

Also, when in bootloader, if i choose "recovery", i can't enter the recovery menu, instead i have a warning sign for about 1 minut, then unit reboot.

Hope someone found a solution...

Thanks,
[HTC One S] Klorec:
Whn you see the red warning sing, I believe, you have to press VOLUME UP to see the recovery menu. As for undetectable devices in fastboot, I assume you are using Windows 8.1 or higher. Fastboot doesn't work there, unless fixed by using the instructions and registry edit from this thread (I can confirm, it works like a charm).
