Need some help please

Hi guys..
Few of you guys might already know me from around the forums. I know my ins and outs of android but today i am kinda stuck and i have not got a clue what to do. Here is the story.
Currently on my device i have a clear sd card. Only things i have on there is a slimkat build and gapps ready to flash. Problem is when i tried to make a backup it failed. Running TWRP recovery 2.6.0.0. Tried different things to get it working and nothing.
Now i tried to use a toolkit to be able to push the files to flash and get my phone going and still nothing it just goes back into recovery and nothing...Anyways another thing is adb is not working as it should...in recovery it recognizes my phone as connected but when in bootloader it does not
any help would be appreciated

Just some ideas here:
On device:
Try other version of TWRP or Multirom TWRP or CWM.
On PC:
Reinstall driver (Universal Naked Driver)

kinda in the process reflashing stock factory settings again and see what happens..many thanks anyway...
is there anything wrong with TWRP? cause anything i do it fails and i have not got a clue why

There are mixtures of results of peoples using different versions of TWRP/MultiromTWRP/CWM and nobody had a dam* clue what/why causes the incompatibility. Btw, I'm on latest MultiromTWRP which works great for me flashing variants of roms. Anyway, happy reflashing.

why dont you update twrp to 2.6.3.3

L Final Preview Flo Nandroid Download

I have made a TWRP nandroid of the latest preview of android L. This is for Flo, while waiting for a zip to flash.
Instructions:
- Make a Nandroid of your current Rom
- Download HERE
- Unzip
- Place in TWRP/BACKUPS
- Full wipe
- Restore in Recovery
- Enjoy!
[All this is at your own risk. I am not responsible for what happens to your device].

Thank you for doing this. I am going to swipe this and give it a go while my cats watch All Dogs Go To Heaven. They love that movie.

Downloading now. Please also update your comments in the Lollipop thread. I found this one by chance. Thanks again for sharing!

FWIW, one should be able to use this to install in MultiROM, as it supports installing from backups.

I haven't tried this yet, so can't confirm. I probably won't get around to it until tomorrow.

I am trying now. Will advise if I can restore via Multirom.

Just do it as a secondary, else MR will not be accessible until you flash a kernel with kexec (unless the OPs backup has a kexec kernel in it). Flash as secondary, then flash a kexec kernel to it, then you can swap to primary, then delete the old one.

Multirom immediately failed when I attempted to flash as secondary. Wouldn't even begin the process.
Edit: When attempting to restore as primary, received the error message : no partition selected for restore.

Sorry, didn't mean to press thanks!
I'm disappointed it doesn' t work with multirom and I wonder why...

Please advise on my error. Did you face this?

Well, I haven't reinstalled multirom yet, so I didn't test. I just assumed it would restore all right.

Odd, I've installed ROMs from backup before, and it's always worked, admittedly not Android L, the only thing I can think of is some kind of permissions issue..

Unfortunately, it failed even as a primary. Is it possible this is because I have Multirom twrp?

I doubt it, I'm just going to keep waiting for Tasssadar to release one. L is pointless for me till xposed comes to it anyway.

I've just noticed that there is now a flashable zip in the development thread. Perhaps it will work better?

Thanks to you both for advising.

I read on tech sites that this is not the final release.

Multirom will work if you install it while your running the final preview

Is there any fully working flashable image of new final preview till?

1. Taking threads off-topic is against forum rules. This thread is about TWRP recovery.
2. Double posting is against forum rules.

Can someone confirm this as working?
Should i rather wait for official twrp?
I have had old phones quite a while now and being a bit causious because i usually don´t spend 300€ to a phone.

Found OTA (looks like full) from some tutorial which has boot.img and full system dump

hey, so i just flashed this TWRP recovery and i managed to boot into TWRP recovery. But, whenever i click the 'Reboot' option or 'Power Off' option, the TWRP just stays right there and it won't even reboot or power off. I have to hold down the power button to turn off the phone and power it back. Any ideas why this is happening and anything that i've done wrong in the process?

Just enter to twrp recovery mode click install section, click install image section on right bottom side, and navigate to where is twrp img that you already downloaded, and thick button on recovery option (make sure not to choose wong section other than thick recovery button), then flashed, next restart to enter to boot recovery one again.

That's exactly what I did, but didn't work. Guess I'll flash it with fastboot.

Yes you can, just rename the downloaded file to twrp.img

For some reason I can't install the latest materialiazed 3.1.0.0 via the flash image in twrp. It installs, but the theme is the standard, not like in the screenshots. I didn't tried the fastboot method as I'm lazy.

Thanks bro.. i'll try this!!

Maybe the question sounds stupid but why it is not allowed to flash update.zip ( TWRP inside ) with original Lenovo recovery ?

To prevent twrp ask for code security, use second line when you wanna create security, if twrp ask code security, remove your security first and create new one like above

How to get root on SM-T810 on Android 7

Looking for a guide on getting root. The main stickies describe doing so on Android 5.1.1. I have TWRP installed, but I can't locate SuperSU--seems like a dead project. I can't find an installer for Magisk from the github site. Do I have to compile it?
Any help out there? Thanks.

Thanks man. I ended up installing LineageOS. I may go back to stock, though, since I am getting reboots where it gets stuck in the boot and drains the battery. I haven't investigated, though.
