And one more way, if you have rooted your phone, you can install an app like quick boot and use it for booting into recovery.

Hi, I`m not ppero196 but how it works. Download this rar and extract on your PC. I always take the path to C:\Android\ . Then activate USB-Debugging on your device and connect your device to the PC. Open the cmd on your windows machine and type:
For download mode:
Code:
cd\
cd Android
adb reboot download
or for the recovery mode:
Code:
cd\
cd Android
adb reboot recovery
Have fun by the trying.

No button combination?
Hello guys,
I can boot into recovery, pressing, up, home and power for a long time. The "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini"-logo comes two times, and I press the three buttons all the time, until an "Android" comes. Than I am in Recovery mode. I haven't flashed or rooted my phone now, but is it not easier root and flash it via cutsom recovery mode?
Sorry for my bad English :/ If you habe some questions about my phone ask

What firmware are you running ??

It is the Original Samsung 4.1.1.

Can you post screenshot of "Settings->About device" page? Because on some devices (maybe from first batch) key combination just does not work.

Here is the Screenshot. I hope it helps.

This is a great guide! In theory you can also do this:
- backup your lfs partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p19) with adb+dd when the phone has booted normally, backup that file
- backup your lfs partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p19) with adb+dd inside CWM, have the file on your PC as well
Now you can reflash the partition with Odin/Heimdall and have the phone boot into either mode. The reason is because this partition contains params.blk which itself contains the boot mode (along other important parameters). It is always a good idea to have a backup of this partition, as well as other partitions (notably efs = mmcblk0p11 and modemfs = mmcblk0p12).

[TUTORIAL]Download Factory Images Nexus 7 FLO - Restore back STOCK
[TUTORIAL]Download Factory Images Nexus 7 FLO - Restore back STOCK - With latest version KitKat 4.4.4​
Find your Factory image for your N7 FLO - KitKat KTU84P - Download Link - - is very useful if you need to restore back your device to Stock after any modification you’ve made. If you have rooted your N7 Flo, unlocked its bootloader, installed custom recovery and roms and finally you want decided to getting back to official firmware and then to get or accept future OTA updates again. It’s the best way to restore back your device to Stock.
Coming back to stock is also useful if you have some bugs (for fixing it), Bootloop, stuck in boot screen logo and freeeeezzziiiinnnngggg, etc....But before to going back to stock, you need to read completly the tutorial and need to know
Your bootloader will be “LOCKED or UNLOCKED” when you want.​
1 - Where I can can find the right Factory Image for my Nexus 7 Flo and which files I need for proceed ?
But first download and install the necessary files prior to execute this properly. Download the full factory image corresponding to your exact mode which includes the full system, bootloader, recovery, kernel (boot.img).
Unpack the TGZ Version (tar/gz) or Zip Version Archive into its own directory. I use 7-Zip, but you can use any tool that reads gz and tar.
Factory Images "razor" for Nexus 7 [2013] (Wi-Fi) - 4.4.4 (KTU84P) - Download link
If you have already installed those files, just check theirs.
Java Runtime Environment.
Android SDK | Android Developers.
Platform tools
Fastboot files
2 - PREREQUISITES
First make sure that your battery is fully charge 100% and BACKUP ALL YOUR PERSONNEL DATA
[1] - Make sure you have USB debugging turned on. For security purposes, you can turn it off after we're done
[2] - Plug-in USB cable and If you are booted into Android, open a command prompt to your ADB and Fastboot directory,
[3] - In case you are not unlock, you need to unlock your bootloader, enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
If your tablet hasn't already rebooted automatically, type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
NOW WE ARE READY FOR PROCEED TO RETURN STOCK
3 - RUNNING FACTORY IMAGE
If you want to keep your data intact, don't skip this step, (if you do your data will be wiped )
With your text editor (for me it's Notepad ++,
[1] - Edit (be careful not to run it by accident instead of editing)
[2] - flash-all.bat (if you're on Windows)
[2a] - flash-all.sh (Mac, Linux)
[2b] - and remove "-w" from the fastboot update command
For example, if the line reads fastboot -w update image-razor-ktu84p.zip, it should now read: fastboot update image-razor-ktu84p.zip. The -w option instructs fastboot to wipe data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[3] - Reboot into the bootloader and run the appropriate flash-all script:
Code:
flash-all.bat
​Done, your Nexus 7 Flo is now coming back and running Stock Android KK 4.4.4
In Case you want to come back completely to Stock, for warranty or security purpouses, you need to re-lock your bootloader now.
Enter the following commands
Code:
fastboot oem lock
If your tablet hasn't already rebooted automatically, type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done!

[HOW TO] FLASH MORE FASTER WHEN YOU USE FASTBOOT LINE COMMAND and FILES
FLASH MORE FASTER WHEN YOU USE FASTBOOT LINE COMMAND and FILES​
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "fastboot.zip" or this tool : platform-tools.zip - md5: 15e771613370afe3c70e0be1454d2ef1 - size: 346.8KB
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
OR
Unzipped this file on the folder "platform-tools" and you will find 11 files:
- aapt
- adb
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- aidl
- dexdump
- llvm-rs-cc
- fastboot
- dx
- NOTICE
- source.properties
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
CD to where your fastboot or platform tools were installed
The line command is :
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\platform-tools[/B]
Code:
[B]C:\platform-tools>[/B]
OR
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\fastboot[/B]

"-5: The tablet will go back to the bootloader screen. Press Power button to select Start to reboot into the unlock device
Note: Those who wish to install TWRP and root the device further, do not reboot the device. Leave the device at the same screen."
I still say you have to start and boot before you install TWRP. If you don't you get 0 MB Internal Storage on screen and twrp needs password. Can you verify this?
I had to restore my system.img and start over.
Maybe your version of TWRP does not require a reboot (Start) after OEM unlock?

I've always used clockwork on my phones... can you use clockwork in place of twrp on the nexus 7 flo?

Bricked my N7
Not new to flashing, but I made a huuuuuuuuge mistake today. I accidently flashed the wrong recovery image for the 2012 N7 (yeah, I'm an idiot). I can boot into fastboot and recovery mode, but it fails to mount the sd card so I can't do **** anymore. Can't even get it back to stock t this point Any suggestions? I'm on a mac, but have access to PC. Have tried both CWM and TWRP. TWRP just gives me the password screen and 0mb storage. Can't figure out how to get around it or get my storage mounted. Help!

Stuck in boot screen
"I still say you have to start and boot before you install TWRP. If you don't you get 0 MB Internal Storage on screen and twrp needs password. Can you verify this?

Androidfr33k, can you specify how to restore system.img? I also do the following steps without rebooting, now I'm stuck in the boot screen.
Thanks in advanced!

For the moment, TWRP recovery is the best way for most of my devices.
I've used CWM during a long time with my old devices (Htc Hero - Desire Z) - for my Desire S, I've used 4EXT recovery and now for all devices, it's TWRP
I'm waiting a CWM recovery for see.
But it's just my advice

I unlocked and rooted my nexus 4 with this method. I already have SDK and fastboot on my Mac. I can go ahead with the N7, right? I don't need a different fastboot version? I'll make sure my SDK is up to date.

Yep, you should be all set

If "adb reboot bootloader" works when unlocking the bootloader but "fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img" just sits there in Windows with "waiting for device" try using "adb reboot bootloader" again followed by "fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img" to get the recovery image flashed. I don't take credit for it because it was said somewhere in this forum while trying to figure out the problem. My main rig has this problem but my HTPC does not. Same issue I had with my N7/2012.
Thank you OP!! I'm now running cleanrom 1.1 on my N7/2013. Let the ROM's rain!!!!

Video Tutorial
Hey guys, I've made a pretty simple video tutorial on how to Unlock the Bootloader and Root the new Nexus 7.
Here it is:
I know I don't have a well known name on the forums at all, but I thought it would at least be nice to post this. :good:

This guide worked well for me. I was able to unlock the bootloader, and it appeared that I was able to install the TWRP recovery image. However, when it went to reboot, the Nexus 'X' logo is looping. What's the best way to fix this? I can't access the device through the cmd prompt either.
EDIT: Nevermind, was able to get into the TWRP recovery image (I was panicking and didn't press the right buttons).
Note: I let TWRP install SuperSu for me, instead of downloading it and moving it on internal storage myself. Don't know that had anything to do with my issues but just wanted to share a heads-up.

[GUIDE] How to * Unlock * Flash TWRP * Root * OnePlus X [Including Oxygen 3.1.3]

Notice: Rooting your device will break OTAs because they require an unmodified system, so you might want to check for updates before rooting your X. However, there is a workaround:
Boot into TWRP via step 5E below, but DO NOT flash it (step 5D)!!
Do a backup of your completely stock, unrooted ROM
Root the device by flashing SuperSU...zip
When an OTA hits, you can get it by doing this:
Boot into TWRP again without flashing it (same as step 1 above)
Restore your stock, unrooted ROM (from step 2 above)
Apply the update from stock recovery
Backup the unmodified ROM with the update if you want, then re-root as above.
Note: You will lose any changes, mods or app data since you did the backup, but hey, at least the OTA is applied.
If you get stuck with an update that won't flash and you haven't backed-up your unrooted ROM as above, look here:
[Guide] How to Install OTA's with TWRP, and please hit thanks for @SpiritBreak3r :good:
_____________________​
Disclaimer: Rooting does not void the OnePlus X’s warranty, though damaging your hardware (i.e., burning up your CPU by overclocking, hardbricking the device) will. You proceed at your own risk! I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone. Follow the directions closely, and the odds are you will succeed without any trouble. If you are not sure what you are doing, do some more research before you try. If you get confused with terminology, try looking here for answers or Google it. If you get stuck, post a question in the thread—we're here to help you.
Preliminary steps​
1. Make sure that your phone is always charged above 50%!!!
Running out of battery in the middle of flashing something could brick your phone.
2. Make sure that your computer can properly communicate with the device:
We will be issuing commands to the phone from your PC via the USB cable using Android’s SDK tools, in particular ADB and fastboot. If you have not done so already, you must install the following on your Windows computer for this to work:
Java runtime
The Universal Android ADB Driver for Windows.
SDK tools for Android (alternately just ADB & fastboot). Remember where this is installed on your harddrive for later!
You can verify the connection between your PC and phone by running the following procedure:
A. With the phone booted normally, connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
B. Enable Android debugging by going to Settings > About phone and tapping on “Build number” 7 times.
C. Go to Settings > Developer options and check “Android debugging”. A dialogue box will appear asking you to authorize your computer’s RSA fingerprint. Click “Always allow...”

}
D. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you put SDK tools for Android (ADB & fastboot) above.
E. Type the following command:
Code:
adb devices
You should get a return like this:
If you cannot get the connection to work:
1. Check your USB connection, then verify that Android debugging is enabled in settings and that your computer’s RSA fingerprint has been authorized.
2. Still not working? Open Device Manager in Windows and make sure that you don’t have a yellow exclamation point next to something like “Android Device” or “One.” This would indicate a driver problem that must be resolved. Try re-installing the Universal Android ADB Driver for Windows, and make sure to restart your computer. Once you’ve rebooted, if you still have a yellow triangle, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver Software,” then “Search automatically for updated driver software.”
3. If you still have a yellow exclamation point, then try forcing the driver to install:
In Device Manager, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver Software.”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “ADB Interface” from the list
Select manufacturer “Google”
Select “Android Testing Interface Version xxx”
Click “Next.” If you get a warning, select “Yes” to continue and wait for the driver to install properly.
3. Know how to enter “fastboot mode” on the OnePlus X
To root the device, you must be competent at booting it into fastboot mode. There are two ways to accomplish this:
Power off the phone. Then simultaneously hold down the volume up & power buttons until it vibrates. When done correctly, you will see the words “Fastboot Mode” on a black screen. If not, you dumb-thumbed it, and the device will boot normally into Android. Power off the device and try again.
With the phone running Android normally and Android debugging enabled (see above), open a command prompt in Windows, navigate to the folder where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot) and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Rooting the OnePlus X​
There are three essential steps to rooting the device:
Unlock the bootloader
Flash or boot into TWRP custom recovery [For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use TWRP blu_sp★rk r175]
Flash SuperSU...zip from recovery [For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use SuperSU v2.78 SR1 beta]
However, we're going to add a few more to protect your data and device in case something gets borked.
1. Backup your phone’s data
Unlocking the bootloader will involve doing a factory reset resulting in the loss of all accounts, emails, texts, apps and app data, pictures, music, etc. on the device. Move anything you need to keep onto your PC or a cloud service like DropBox.
2. Unlock the bootloader
2A.Go into Developer Options and enable bootloader unlocking
2B. Boot the device into fastboot mode. (Simultaneously hold down the volume up & power buttons until it vibrates.) You should see a black screen with the words “Fastboot Mode”.
2C. Plug in the USB cable.
2D. Verify that your device is connected with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get a return like the image above under Preliminary Steps
2E. Unlock the bootloader using the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The device will unlock the bootloader, erase all user data and reboot itself into Android. You will have to set up everything from scratch.
3. Re-enable Android debugging
3A. Re-enable Developer options by going to Settings > About phone and tapping on “Build number” 7 times.
3B. Go to Settings > Developer options. Check “Android debugging” and re-authorize your computer’s RSA fingerprint.
4. Download SuperSU zip
4A. Head over to Chainfire’s CF-Root thread and download the SuperSU access management tool from the “CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP” link. It will probably called something like UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip. This zip file will root your device and install the SuperSU access management app in one smooth motion. Hit the thanks button for Chainfire or donate to his Paypal account and buy him a Coke.
NOTE: For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use SuperSU v2.78 SR1 beta
4B. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip to your phone’s SD card.
5. Flash TWRP custom recovery
5A. Download TWRP recovery.
NOTE: For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use TWRP blu_sp★rk r175
5B. Place file you downloaded above to the location where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot).
5C. Boot the device into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
5D. In this step, we will replace your stock recovery with TWRP recovery.
Note: This step is optional. If you want to root but preserve stock recovery, skip straight ahead to step 5E below. Thanks @rockuppl for the reminder. :good:
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot). Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img
5E. Reboot into TWRP recovery with the following command.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img
You should now see the custom recovery you just flashed, not the stock recovery.
6. Backup your stock ROM before making any changes
In TWRP press “Backup.” <--- See how simple this is???
Don’t be a noob—backup your device!!! Right now we don't have stock boot debuggable image files for the OnePlus X, so borking your device could leave you with a nice paperweight until we do. :crying: Restoring from a backup in recovery is easy, and only works if you've backed-up first
7. Root the device
7A. The device should still be in recovery from step 6 above. Go back to the main menu and press “Install,” find UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip on the SD card, then flash it.
7B. Reboot the phone. It is now rooted!
7C. Go to the app drawer and open SuperSU. Update the binary if prompted. Its icon looks like this:
7D. Download and install Root Checker from the Play Store to verify that you have root access.

Yes I already own the phone and I see the bootloader unlock switch in dev options. I also checked the stock recovery which gives options to flash files from phone memory or otg. So it must be fairly easy. But I still don't want to risk it without it being tried and tested. If there were a custom recovery I could have also backed up the factory image. Only choice is to wait and see I guess

I could try today evening... will update here.

@CafeKampuchia
Is it ok to flash supersu.zip with stock recovery.
Before flashing supersu.zip, will unlock bootloader . Will follow the guide from oneplue two procedure to unlock..

Flashing supersu is safe on hundreds of devices, but I don't have the X so I can't say one way or the other.

I tried the OnePlus One tutorial to unlock bootloader and root it thanks to this guide.
When it comes to install TWRP, adb tells me it's ok but when I boot into recovery, it's the "official" one that show up.
Even from this recovery, I tried to install the SuperSU.zip, but it keeps telling me it failed, so I think I'll just wait for someone to do it correctly

I wouldn't try flashing a recovery for another device, especially if the stock recovery isn't available.
I'm surprised that supersu wouldn't flash from stock, though.

Well I thought that TWRP was for all devices and I already went to the stock one before installing TWRP without success to flash SuperSU.
But apprently, installing TWRP the way I did wasn't the right way because I still boot to the stock recovery :/

Hi, after unlocking bootloader, you are not able to update/flash supersu.zip from stock recovery? right?
if it so, then we need to wait for custom recovery to flash root.
Thanks.

No, TWRP is definitely not for every device. You have to use the version made for your specific device.

Rooting new Nougat version

Hi all,
I just recently upgraded my US Version of the M3 32Gb to the new factory nougat EMUI 5.0 version. This was the OTA from huawei since hadn't rooted my tablet. I now want to get the 5Ghz WiFi band to turn on, and from what I get, you have to root the device and update a couple of files. Can someone guide me to the steps of how to perform the root. I got the steps to unlock my bootloader. I am just not sure what the steps are to root.
Thanks in advance!

If you have to ask you probably shouldn't be messing with root...

Compared to unlocking the bootloader and upgrading EMUI 5 it's much easier. I did it and it works.
You will need to have TWRP installed and then flash SuperSU-v2.79-EMUI5.0.zip
Google How to Root Huawei MediaPad M3 EMUI5 Android 7

1. create a new folder and extract the adb file and twrp & supersu in that folder

SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 (dont extract the zip file)

TWRP (greatslon mod) (download the right version for your device!!!!)

--------------------------------------------
now run this commands:
adb reboot bootloader (need to enable usb debugging)
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot (wait till your device booted )
adb reboot recovery (need to enable usb debugging)
adb sideload su.zip (rename SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 to su so you dont need to type that much)

Thanks for the help. Looking through your steps, they are straight forward. I just have one question about twrp. My assumption is I need to use twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img since I am on nougat, is that correct? I tried searching the forums, I think I found one post that stated the _5 is for nougat, but just wanted to confirm.
Thanks!

BTV-W09 (WiFi) => twrp.zip
BTV-DL09 (LTE) => twrp_us.zip
check your version info in settings......mine is the BTV-W09 (wifi version) so i flashed the twrp.zip

I had lost root when I used the firmware updater to go to nougat and couldn't get back into twrp to flash magisk again no matter what I did. This worked and I was also able to get the first successful full nandroid backup I've ever had with this device afterwards. Thanks.
BTW - you don't need to rename anything, just type the first two letters of the file and hit tab for autocomplete.

The _5 version as that was the latest.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the boot loader unlock code from the web site? I just bought a new wi-fi (no IMEI) BTV-W09 and I validated the serial and product id like 10 times, but I'm getting "Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID." on the website. I emailed customer support and they told me that they could not give me the unlock code...
I just want to unlock my 5g Wi-Fi...

Thanks!
BTW, Have you find any roms for this model?

Great work! Thanks.
Only part I got stuck on was step 9. If you're on a mac and it won't mount as a drive, do this:
adb push Magisk-v14.0.zip /sdcard/ (OR: just download it from Chrome on the Tablet.)
Also for step 17: I think Volume Up is to the RIGHT if you're looking from top on. (but still not sure, honestly!)

Hi. In the step 5.- Extract twrp.img in TWRP folder in your PC and enter it, when I open the file I recived this message: The disc image file is corrupted

Thank You
Excellent tutorial!! Worked perfectly on my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10.1 YT3-X50F !!!

Are there any ROMs available for this device?

Very good tutorial, everything works nickel and the tablet is rooted. Now the question arises: where to find kernel and / or custom rom for this tablet?

Worked for me, even with the Nov 2017 updates
Thank you so much.

Hello there!
Because there is not much about this procedure for this version I leave a tutorial that has worked very well for me.
Warning:
Backup all your data first, because when unlocking the bootloader of the device, it will reset to factory defaults and delete/erase all!
This guide is for people who understand the risks of flashing and is totally under your responsibility!
Before doing anything at all, read this post carefuly!
Requirements:
- Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10.1 YT3-X50F (I don't know if this method runs on other versions)
- SO: Android 6.0.1
