fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1 goes wrong

Hi, I try the root on nexus 5 with stock rom 6.01, when I flash recovery twrp, obtain this message:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp

-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img

target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

sending 'recovery' (14694 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.738s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not supported in locked device)

finished. total time: 0.845s

so, when i go to recovery, without rebooting as suggested, I don't have twrp recovery.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

You have to unlock your bootloader first. CAUTION! THIS WIPES YOUR PHONE!

Background information and how to unlock the bootloader read here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-bootloader-and-how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-android-phones-complete-guide/
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
as suggested by Smoosh you need to Unlock Bootloader.

Beware : it'll wipe your device entierly to factory reset state ( all things will be wiped out : contacts , apps , music, videos your personal files etc. so backup every thing.

reboot into boot loader & use bellow command for unlocking boot loader

fastboot oem unlock

thank for replying him :) i thought people come to this thread already know about unlocking but now i need to add that as well in OP ;)

Bootloop

My phone has entered into a bootloop after flashing on the TWRP recovery. TWRP opens, runs a script for like 5 seconds, and then my phone restarts, repeat. How do I fix this? I have tried to wipe the memory multiple times and even reflash twrp, with no success.

@jineshpatel30 Pls help

hi bro [MENTION=4942685]jineshpatel30[/MENTION] pls help me out.

Im running on stock 6.0.0 and rooted with recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img and hellscore hC-b11-M kernal. Im using cataclysm Nov release 6.0.0 as my daily driver in secondary rom (and its pre rooted by the rom builder) and stock 6.0.0 as my primary rom.

Recently cataclysm released its Dec 8 stable release 6.0.1, i have clean flashed the same in secondary and its working perfect but no root access, after going through too many forums in xda i have flashed SuperSU 2.61 on the same to root it. but its just showing patching ramdisk in twrp more than 30 mins and nothing is happening. :crying:

Now kindly help me to root the same(cataclysm Dec 8 stable release 6.0.1) in secondary... can i flash SuperSU-2.64 directly over cataclysm?? is that safe?? is that make any problem to primary stock??? pls guide me as im not getting any proper answre from any of the forum and there is too many members like me still confused flashing the SuperSu 2.64 in a multirom and its after effects. :fingers-crossed:

Primary Rom: Stock 6.0.0 as primary, Kernal : hC-b11-M

Seconary Rom: Cataclysm Nov release 6.0.0, Kernal : hC-b15-M

Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.1

Baseband: M8974A -2.0.50.2.27

Booloader: hhz12k

awaiting for your valuable reply hope you will help me:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
To be honest i don't have any experience for multi rom things..sry bt never used it.

But as i understand mutirom use special modified kernel & twrp so there is "chance" that they are not still compatible with system-less root method.

So my suggestion is try v2.64 instead of 2.61 (yah you can flash it over 2.61 without any problem) bcz 2.64 has "privilege" that it can be flash as normal root if rom & kernel supports it. (Cata & elementalX supports it ..i tried that myself) so there is more chance of success with 2.64 for you.

Btw hellscore is giving hard time to other people in single rom as well so if 2.64 still fails try elementalX (if it supports multirom)

If all of above fails then i'm sry bt i can't help you much so try to ask in multirom thread :)

PS: make nandroid backup before making any changes !

Bootloop after twrp or super su ?

Boot loop after flashing twrp ? It's weird bcz it doesn't happen at all.

If after supersu then did you flash v2.64 or other version ?

Did you completely follow step by step guide ?

Bcz i tried this method more than 5 times & never had an issue. So there should be something wrong from your side.

Factory Reset and Root

I am still learning about rooting and the Android partitions system. I'm a bit confused by a couple things:

I have used a TWRP to apply a system-less root to android 6 (On my android Shield TV). Why does factory resetting remove the root? Does it replace the superuser modified boot.img with a backup? Or are there other files that are installed to the data partition that are also necessary for root to work that are erased with a factory reset.

Also what files/folders are left un-deleted after a Factory reset? I notice in TWRP there is an option to format data (partition?) Which I assume removes ALL data, giving you a truly stock device.

Thanks for any help.

The latest SuperSU (BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328) does not work on hammerhead-mob30m. It completes fine, and boots, but there's no root
[Nexus 5 General] shad876:
It worked for me
[Nexus 5 General] galets:
what recovery/version did you use?

UPDATE: i figured out how to do it. The problem was that I restored the data after upgrading, which had a saved remains of previous su in /data. Following solved the problem:

- boot into twrp

- login into adb and run:

# cd /data
# rm stock_boot_*.img.gz
# rm su.img
# rm -rf /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu

- after this cleanup, the su works

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner in this area. I want to install the Lollipop makeover ROM on my Xperia E3 D2203. For what I have read in some threads, to flash a ROM I need to have my phone rooted and then I have to unlock my bootloader... I don't know if it's possible to unlock my bootloader because when I dial *#*#7378423#*#* Service Info > Configuration, it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No".

Can I still unlock my bootloader? Or is it another way to flash the ROM without unlocking bootloader?

Please HELP!!!!!!!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
I'm on 6.0.1 and installed systemless root + busybox + TWRP recovery through the skipsoft tool.

Everything was working fine for a day or two.

I then wanted Xposed. So I installed xposed v79 arm64 and at first everything worked ok. Added gravitybox mm and started fiddling. Shortly root issues followed. Tasker somehow didn't acquire root, that's how I first noticed it. Nor did the "hibernate + lock" command in Greenify work which also requires root. Wondering wth is going on I went into supersu and it said the su binary cannot be found. No wonder root apps didn't work properly. Gravitybox still worked however but I assume this works at a lower level.

Everything worked fine until I got to the xposed part. Not sure if it was xposed or gravitybox that did it. Why is this happening and what can I do? I uninstalled gravitybox and now I have root again though supersu was VERY VERY slow in getting the list of root apps up in a way it never was before. Took minutes, but it did work and root apps function again. Other issues happened to: calculator fc for example.

Would I be better off with traditional root or what's up? I do have backups from before installing xposed thank god, so I'm not sitting in the **** here, but I'd sure like this all to work together.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
This is just a long shot but if you have BusyBox install in su/bin try installing it into system/xbin and reboot. good luck.

Oh, well not my issue then since they have been there all along :( it seems very sketchy too. It's as if it sometimes work at boot, sometimes not. Very weird. I don't know what it is but it must be some kind of combination.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
Further analysis: some reboots it works, some it doesn't. Random weirdness surrounding root apps and also none-root apps. Calculator sometimes FC's and it seems all this is coming and going. Worse when Gravitybox is activated. I still have no clue what this is or what to do.

According to Wikipedia the MT6582 is a Quad Core SoC. I guess that your Rom doesn't list or even deactivated two cores.

My Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 has an MT8382. Related to your question, some research turned out that this seems to be the exact same SoC. I that right?

If so, is it possible to run a kernel or even Custom Rom built for the MT6582 on the MT8382?

Have you Rooted the Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 with MT8382? If Yes what did you use?

"According to Wikipedia the MT6582 is a Quad Core SoC. I guess that your Rom doesn't list or even deactivated two cores." Agree, hope there may be some software that can access the two other cores!

"My Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30 has an MT8382. Related to your question, some research turned out that this seems to be the exact same SoC. I that right?"

This phone doesn't have a Mt6582 chipset, this phone have the Mt6572, but for some reason is edited in the build.prop to appear has the 6582, I'm guessing that they do it that way to avoid you to flash of another pixi 3 4" to the phone thru SPflashtools, and they make the firmware unrootable so you cant change the build.prop to the original chip set model, that is the only logic explination that I have.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gundal:
I have tested 5 note5's 4 of them had unacceptable bluetooth problems, only one could pass both of these tests.

Test 1)

Pair to a bluetooth call device (speaker, car, earpiece)

And make a call with the other person easily able to speak to you, then backup 2-3 meters from the device you are connected to and keep the conversion.

Test 2)

Pair to a media device (speaker, car)

Stream music off google play from wifi to bluetooth, then back up 2-3 meters, and place your hand in front of the top edge of the phone

One device couldn't even play music no matter what, and one couldn't call no matter what, and one worked for both if it was 1 meter away tops, and one would work until you put your phone behind your back and it would comically cut out..

If you have this same phone (I've had both n9208 and n9200) then please test both types of connections and let me know..your findings, maybe we can force samsung to fix it if we make a big enough stink, or at least give us warranty locally, cause they basically told me I need to showup in hong kong/taiwan to get it fixed...

Hi every one!

I have an LG G2, which is showing as D802-20a but under the covers (on main board) it is showing as D800. It is rooted (with towel root). It is portrayed as International edition D802 but it is not. Its AT&T LG G2 D800 in fact.

My question to all of your experts is if I have to flash a custom rom (Bliss POP 4.3) (5.1.1) on it. what I'll have to do first. It is currently showing as 4.4.2 D802-20a. Will I have to flash it with D800 tot file? Wont that give an error of cross version in LG Flash tool.......Firstly I tried to install AutoRec for D802 on it. It bricked my set. I opened up and short-circuited the capacitors to force it into QDLoader 9008 mode and then repaired Download Mode by using Boarddiag.

So flashing D802 tot is not an option, I think. Cutting the long story short, I want to have Bliss POP or Cloudy G2 ver 3.3 on it. What will be the procedure. Currently, it is rooted. no recovery installed. Please inform me of the method and software version files to be used. Thanks in advance. Update from Settings>About>Update simply doesn't work. device not registered or up-to-date or check after 24 hours etc. shows up.

P.S. >>> I replaced that bricked set (after repairing with some soft n hard methods) to the Shopkeeper and got another one. I believe it is same as the first one. Now, to play safe, I just need to make sure things don't mess up this time. so need a procedural reply. Thanks in advance.....

I did it...........though I found the forum non-cooperative.
