[Q] Recovery problem

I cant boot in twrp/cwm recovery. I fully rooted phone, got SuperSU, but I can only go into default android recovery, even with twrp and cwm installed. What might be the problem?

Probably didn't install correctly. Try re-installing (remember if TWRP you have to reboot into TWRP before Android) it may fix it.

Try downloading it again, check the MD5 and see what happens, (could just be a bad download) then install. -- If not head over to the TWRP thread and ask there @bigbiff is responding quickly to questions.

Unlock the bootloader even if it says it's unlocked.

Ok so now I unlocked the bootloader and viola twrp is back but I can't get my phone to start... Its asking for a password and says that the data is corrupt. So then I tried wiping it tru twrp and that has failed. "Unable to mount data". Help

In TWRP > Mount > untick and re-tick /data and then try formatting it.

Yip tried tht too... So the phone started back but it's reverted back to its original state... Locked bootloader, unrooted etc...

I can provide full service firmware VNS-L23C605B370 / VNS-L23C605B364 / VNS-L23C605B121

Ok... But can I use any of those tht you've outlined safely, becuz my phone works fine so far but it appears the data partition is damaged. Also the twrp recovery im using is 3.0.1 so I gonna try updating it.

Right... so I've managed to get my phone back up and running by flashing the recovery2, recovery, cust and system files with L23C605B120 instead of B102 as it was. i've also managed to install twrp and rooted it. I've noticed that not any version of twrp works. Only the 3.0.0 version. Now i need help with updating my firmware from B120 to B362 if possible. through the official updater i attempted to install an official update but it kept failing... any suggestions... anyone?

install vns-l23c605b362 ou b374 with twrp

Hello
as I see you can use twrp 3.0.
then, from then b120 MM.
1 bootloader code.
2 installs twrp.
3 go to wipe. check all except SD card.
4 go to install, install update.zip b362 and install update datafull.zip b362.
5 restarts.
here is.
2017.02.25 VNS-L23C605B362 update.zip http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1258/g104/v77299/f1/full/update.zip
update datafull http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L23_hw_la/update_data_full_VNS-L23_hw_la.zip
now, for vns-l23c605, there is a firmware b374.
you can install it too.
to do it.
you had to download all the files (full-ota-mf-pv b362+full-ota-mf b374) to your computer and handle them with winzip.

Couldn't update Installation problem with august update

So this week i hadn't time enough to install the august update since my phone is rooted so i decided to do it now. What i did before trying to download the update :
1.Deleted all magisk modules that i had then rebooted
2.Unistalled magisk using restore image then rebooted
3.Went to sys update downloaded and it says installation failed
What do to? I'm not rooted now and i don't have twrp installed.
PS. don't want to install it via fastboot/miflash

Follow this guide in future. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips
To fix your problem now, find a stock boot image for your update version you are currently on and flash it.

If you don't want to use Miflash (Why ?) you can boot temporary TWRP and flash .zip here:

You will more than likely need to format data. This will cause you to loose everything. But that is what you are seeing, those folders, are your data. Just encrypted.
Also make sure you are on the latest version of TWRP. Sometimes the older unsupported version had encryption errors.

Omg this saddens me! So there's no way I am unable to at least retrieve my pictures?

Got the same problem, Solved After reboot in twrp and enter the good decryption code

I'm right in the middle of reflashing. I am trying everything else before I do say goodbye to my pictures! :crying:
How did you figure out the decryption code?

First time entering in twrp after flashing update, I did not get folder to flash magisk, did a reboot and get it, just a bad encryption code I think
Did u flash rom or anything else before getting this problem ?

Yup, I sure did! 4am couldn't sleep so I thought I would finally put a fingerprint mod on; which I have done this before with no issues. For the life of me, I don't remember which mod I tried to install thru Magisk.
My phone is currently stuck on "Phone is starting"
I also think it's time to look into some sort of automatic back up service..... Got any ideas?

Use msmdownloadtool, have u tried using magisk uninstall in twrp with zip file ? Then boot and uninstall the "****in" fantastic module... maybe it works

I did try to uninstall Magisk in twrp using adb shell. I never had any luck with that msmdownloadtool and not only that it relocks your bootloader.
I usually go this route [ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6T] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6T https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516

Good luck !!

I saw this happen when I used the official TWRP app.
It went away when I used this TWRP. Hope that helps.

I'm glad you already know not to use the MSM tool. Too many people jump straight to this.....
You just need to boot the correct recovery and your data will decrypt, and you will be able to back it up to a PC, then you can reload your ROM via TWRP or Fastboot to get the phone bootable again. So now it's a question of what ROM were you running before. Do you need a recovery with the latest security patch or something older? What TWRP are you running. Try 3.3.1-6 psychen6 linked too first. Boot that image from Fastboot. See if your password/pin will work to decrypt your data.

Phone won't boot?

Hello, I was trying to root my phone last night, I unlocked the boot loader that worked perfectly, easy. Nothing else went well, I was fighting with it TWRP for hours and then Magisk wouldn't install. I gave up on that and tried SuperSu... now the phone just stays on the loading screen instead of booting, It won't boot into recovery either just fastboot. Can it be fixed?

Your phone is soft bricked and can only boot to bootloader, correct?
The only solution is flashing the stock ROM of the device. You can get your device (Tissot) stock ROM from here.

I just got it to boot into TWRP, after it cycled a few times.

Well that may make it easier, you can try wiping dalvik cache then wiping data and see if that works. Needless to say wiping data is going to delete all your personal data, but since you're in TWRP recovery you can back it up.

Wiping it didn't work, I'm trying to use MiFlash I have downloaded "Tissot_9.0_V10.0.10.0.PDHMIXM_Fastboot" my phone is in fastboot. MiFlash detects it but when I try to flash I just get "can not found file flash_all_lock.bat"
How do you tell is MiFlash has successfully installed drivers, it gives me a window in Chinese?

If it's not working - I never thought it would anyway - then your only option is to flash stock ROM.
You can try using fastboot commands through cmd window, if it returns <waiting for device> or something similar then the driver isn't installed properly. Alternatively you can install the driver from here.

Thanks, it detects my phone. How would you recommend flashing the stock ROM? Do I need to use the same version the phone was running before?

You can use any version as long as it is meant for your device. Flashing the latest version might be best option.
Happy to help.

I tried flashing it with TWRP but just got "no digest file found" I'll try again tomorrow.
This must be the most annoying thing I've done with electronics in years, nothing wants to work.

You can find that in an XDA revised article here.

I got TWRP and Magisk installed no problem. I don't know if I was just tired or it was the crap guides but nothing wanted to cooperate on my first attempt.
Thanks for all the help.
