On step three of the AndroidandMe.com tutorial once I have to enter "adb reboot recovery" in command prompt it reboots the phone but does not goto the menu and whatnot. It just has a /!\ with a android under it. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

I did, no luck):
Hi guys, I wonder if there is anyone out there who knows about rooting an S4 on a Mac. I found a guide on another forum, which suggested doing it using SuperOneClick (through Mono). I managed to open SOC, but the "Shell Root" function doesn't work. I think it's a problem with the USB connection, because the Mac doesn't treat the phone as if it was a drive - the only way to access it through USB is with a software called Android File Transfer.
Many, many thanks in advance because I've spent a whole week trying various workarounds and nothing has worked so far!
Use Heimdall to flash TWRP and then flash supersu from TWRP.

Thank you! I can't try it now but when I have time I will let you know how it goes
I've flashed TWRP, but how do I now get SuperSU onto my phone? Thanks in advance
Connect the phone to your Mac and it should mount as a drive, then copy supersu.zip to the phone memory or micro sd card, then boot to twrp and flash supersu.

Is the TWRP supposed to run when I start in recovery mode? I can only open in default android system recovery
When flashing, select the no reboot option. Once TWRP has been flashed, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the phone battery, wait about 5 seconds, replace battery, and boot directly to recovery using the home, volume up, and power button combination.

1. Download and install heimdall.
2. Open terminal and browse to the folder where you have downloaded the recovery TWRP.
3. Type the following command "heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img" (without the " " and make sure to rename the recovery file to recovery.img).

Sounds like my suggestion didn't work. Did you get any errors?

I just tried it again. Doing it Lennyz1988's way, the upload was successful but afterwards it rebooted my phone straight away. When I turned off and launched recovery mode I got two errors which were only on screen for like 1ms (I had to record it on my camera to read them) - It showed 'Installing system update', and then 'no command', and then launched into the stock recovery mode.

Do it again and now with this command:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot
That should solve it.

When I tried it with heimdall it seemed to upload okay, but then just started in normal recovery mode. But at that point I hadn't changed the img filename to recovery.img . I've tried it again with the new filename but now it just has the same problem as when I do it via the command line - it's frozen on the S4 logo with "Recovery booting" in the top left

You're using heimdall to flash the tar version of twrp? You're booting directly to recovery after flashing? You're disabling auto reboot?

Today I tried to restore an old backup through TWRP, but for some reason my phone is now in bootloop and I cannot access TWRP anymore. Nevertheless, I can use Fastboot. How can I proceed in order to be able to boot into TWRP and restore a backup?
Thank you for your help
p.s. the bootloader is ofc unlocked

I tried, but it does not work. For example, `fastboot reboot` and `fastboot reboot bootloader` work. Any idea why? I tried to install again the recovery and it succeeded, but I could not boot into it :/
EDIT. it seems that `fastboot reboot recovery` command does not exist. How to get there then?

@ADITYA_KUMAR this has been asked and explained many times and once more.
- Take Backup
- get Elemental-X kernel (see development section and download correct one )
- flash with TWRP
- get latest SuperSU : SuperSU
- now you can follow same guide of MM from step 5 : Guide

What happens if you select Recovery from Bootloader ? Is it booting in Stock Recovery ?
In TWRP go to Backup and make backup of /system /data /boot.
If anything bad happens while flashing/Rooting then you can restore it.
The first time, you must open TWRP from the bootloader directly or the recovery gets overwritten.
For rooting, you can flash Magisk instead of flashing SuperSu. Other steps remain exactly the same.

Commands used:
Fastboot flash recovery name.img
It gives output as image not signed or corrupt.
After that i typed command fastboot reboot bootloader.
I open recovery mode. It opens twrp. But after i restart my phone. It automatically removes the twrp.

This is your problem. You must open recovery from the bootloader menu the very first time. Or TWRP is overwritten with stock recovery. I don't know why that is. But that is how it is...

Reboot into bootloader.
Flash recovery - fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img
Open recovery from bootloader menu (by using the volume and power buttons)
From there you can reboot and your recovery will work normally after this, most probably.

It didn't work. I flashed twrp. I opened recovery mode by using volume down to scroll to recovery mode and power button to select it. I booted in twrp mode and rebooted system from there. After that i power off my phone and tried to open twrp again, but it is showing no commands only. I didn't boot into twrp again.

Try commands,
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash recovery name.img
Fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then directly boot into recovery,
Then again boot into recovery through twrp itself (there is option for it in reboot) or try anything.
Thank you guys i successfully rooted my moto g4 plus(xt1643)
howto flash the one without working volume controls??
is this possible?
Yes, it is possible. LineageOS has an option to boot to recovery or fastboot via the standard reboot dialogue.
You can also use adb commands "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot fastboot".

thanks for the reply. is there any manual to do so?
for im´m an absolute newbie on this. adb and faastboot are installed on my ubuntu machine.
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
Flash TWRP recovery? You may also use LineageOS recovery instead of TWRP if you want. Follow their instructions https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplusone.html
Flash LineageOS? Follow the wiki instructions https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/install
Beware that unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on the phone.

While in fastboot mode, you may boot into recovery using "fastboot reboot recovery". Almost there, good luck!

doesn't work on my ubuntu machine. "unkown rebbot target recvery..
i tried .guess i check it on my win machine.
You can also reboot to recovery from within the OS by using "adb reboot recovery". It should work if you were able to reboot to fastboot using this method.
unfortunately it does not work while being in fastboot mode.
adb says device 'null'not found..
Yes, you are supposed to use adb from whatever OS you have installed, CM, CyanogenOS, LOS, ...
but?
is flashing possible without being in fastboot mode? just using adb?
I understood that you had already flashed the recovery. Now you need to boot into the recovery to flash an OS.
Fastboot is used to flash the recovery.
Recovery is used to flash the OS.
yes i think that's it and therefore i had to reboot to recovery without working controls..

yes, and that's my prob how to boot into recovery without using any controls?
or is there another way?e.g adb sideload??
You have a working operating system installed? Cyanogenmod, LineageOS or something similar?
Use the power button to boot into the operating system. Then connect the phone to your PC and "adb reboot recovery".
