[Q] Problem with Unrevoked

Hi all
I have used unrevoked tool about half a year ago,with almost no problems.The only problem I am (still) facing is the off mode charging one.I lived happily with it for some months but now i want to flash a new recovery image to fix the off mode charging thing.I download the image,and use unrevoked to flash it.The problem is it fails at "waiting for root, firmware too new?" eaven though the phone is allready rooted and running cyanogenmod 7.How can I flash a new recovery?
tnx in advance

Well, 3xeno helped me when I had this problem, so I will quote him:
1.) Install Android SDK, and use the Fastboot option.
2.) Get the Recovery.IMG file of the Clockworkmod version you want to flash.
3.) Place this in the SDK's Tools folder.
4.) Reboot your phone in the bootloader mode.
5.) Enter Fastboot mode (Press Power button on Fastboot).
6.) Open Command Prompt on Windows.
7.) cd (browse) to the SDK's tools folder.
8.) Type the following command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". (Without quotes.)
Done.

Hit thanks if I helped you.

You will need S-OFF by AlphaRev X to use the guide above posted. Else, it wont work. Also, you might want to use an older version of Unrevoked, if you are not interested in getting S-OFF at the moment.
Unrevoked 3.14 is said to work pretty well. Just search around in the forum a bit, many members have uploaded it to various file hosts.

Thank you both!
Unrevoked v3.14 worked like a charm

[GUIDE] Root without flashing custom recovery

With Lollipop just around the corner, I'm guessing some will be reverting back to stock to get the OTA update. This is for those guys that still want root and be able to get the OTA and have it actually work. Installing SuperSU from the Play Store doesn't work if you haven't rooted your device already.
I'm not going to get into specifics about unlocking your bootloader, going back to stock, adb and drivers. All of these should be done if you reverted back to stock.
Go ahead and download the latest SuperSU here from your tablet.
Download a custom recovery on your computer. I used TWRP 2.7.1.1. Place the .img you downloaded in your adb folder (\android-sdk). You can rename if you want. For sake of this guide, let's say I renamed it twrp.
Reboot into bootloader. To make sure everything is connected, why not run:
fastboot devices
Then run (if everything is connected of course):
fastboot boot twrp.img
Let it do its thing. Sooner or later you'll have TWRP pop-up on your tablet.
*Note: You're simply downloading and booting from the image on your computer. This isn't flashing the recovery on your tablet.
Make sure it mounted (I had no problems) and flash SuperSU like you would anything else in recovery.
This worked for me. Right before this, I reverted back to stock using comminus' guide, left my tablet unlocked, booted, checked USB Debugging and Unknown Sources (not sure if this matters) and did this method and I have root.
Hope this helps. :good:
And just because it's cute and funny...:victory:

Revert Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL to previous firmware

I would like to revert the firmware on an Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) to a previous one (13.1.4.43).
With the current firmware (13.1.4.69) I have PIN and fingerprint issues.
-I tried to go back to 13.1.4.43 using Asus Flash Tool but it does not allow going back.
-I tried to go back thru the Recovery but I got a security error …does not allow to go back
-I try using ADB but it does not show when sending command "adb devices" even though I installed drivers (ADB, MPT, etc.) and it does shows in the Control Panel when the phone is ON.
Also sent the command "adb reboot bootloader" the phone reboots into bootloader/fastboot mode but still does not allow to go back to previews firmware.

What exactly is the security error you get when you try to flash that firmware in recovery? You tried flashing this file (US version) from the Asus website through stock recovery? You should be able to do it through recovery, but you may need to edit the updater-script file as mentioned here in part 1, steps 2-4.
EDIT: Looks like you won't be able to use fastboot to flash images unless your bootloader is unlocked. Is yours?

LG K8 2017 Stuck on Fastboot Mode.

hello, I have a problem with my LG K8 M200E. He suddenly hung in Fastboot mode. I can not do anything. I uploaded the ADB drivers, I tried to upload the file "laf, boot, aboot, recovery" but no results. All the time when I try something in ADB, I get the message "FAILED (remote: unknown command)".

hello, I have a problem with my LG v20. He suddenly hung in Fastboot mode. I can not do anything. I uploaded the ADB drivers, I tried to upload the file "laf, boot, aboot, recovery" but no results.

Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT!

Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT!
No more Test Point Method needed
Technical Details:
Redmi Note 3 support rebooting to EDL in Android Bootloader aboot module (the "reboot-edl" command) but fastboot utility doesn't recognize "reboot-edl" in the command line and refuses to sent the command to the device. Since FastBoot command protocol is simple and text-based, it is enough to send a packet containing "reboot-edl" text over USB. The simplest way to do that is to patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl". As "reboot-bootloader" string is found in the command line, fastboot.exe sends the same constant string to the device. So if "reboot-bootloader" is replaced with "reboot-edl", you can specify "reboot-edl" in the command line and the same text will be sent to the device.
New Update: Fastboot updated to latest version.
Tutorial:
1. Download the Fastboot_to_EDL from : https://www.mediafire.com/file/yr7csyo64e97vbu/Fastboot_to_EDL.zip/file
2. Extract the zip in your desktop
3. Open the folder and double Click on Reboot.bat
