I wanna go to the RR MM version ROM for Zenfone 5, but fewmsome days before I decide to do it, my microusb got some kind of bug, anyway, it doesn't connect to pc (I tried everything). So, in the tutorial says to flash the new recovery made by them, but i don't have how to connect it on pc to flash the new TWRP recovery, but I have a funcional system working (the stock .87 version from asus) and I want to know if there's a way that I can flash the recovery without using pc (once that my microusb jack is f*kd). I saw in other forum that "recovery.img" is inside the /factory partition, so apps like Flashify cannot read and write on it. Just droidboot can do that. So this is what I want to know, of there's a way to flash the recovery trough the booted Android and if I can make a script to Droidboot run. (Of course, all of them without pc). Or even if I can flash RRMM on my current twrp version (2.8.7.0)
Thanks xda.
Try to flash it via TWRP 2.8.7.0
"Error flashing image, no partition specified".
Twrp actually doesn't show any partitions to install the image.

I provided flashable zip for my RR MM rom. So you shoudl just choose zip archvie with rom to flash it.
It is not a image.

Hi!
I have a A2107G and unlocked it, coming from B04.
Everything worked so far, but I have messed around with bootstack/modem and now I am struggling.
I flashed a new ROM with TWRP (different versions) and the ROM (doesn't matter which one) is stuck in booting animation.
What can I do to bring it back to life?
Also another question: After switching on, directly after the ZTE logo coming up, a black sceen with some infos coming up and stay there for 5 secs.
Is there a way to get rid of this

Yes, I have TWRP.
So i should flash a stock image and start over from scratch (with rooting, ...)
Is the posted screen normal?

Yes it is normal. It means you've unlocked bootloader.
Flash stock rom zip. There are some guides.

Heh. I don't know if there are flashable stock zips for the A2017G, the way I know of is flashing the stock recovery and using an official zip. But you shouldn't go back to stock if you want to use custom ROMs. Try this:
-Get an SD card, put
~ a custom ROM (RR, LOS,NucleaROM (i prefer NucleaROM, just sayin)),
~a Magisk 13.3 zip or SuperSU 2.82 zip,
~an OpenGApps zip (I use pico), arm64,
~a TWRP 3.1.1-0.img and
~A2017X Universal Bootloader and A2017G modem.
-Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik
-Install the Universal Bootloader, then the Modem, then the ROM and last the GApps and magisk/SuperSU
-If you had something important on the internal storage put it on the SD with the File manager under Advanced
-Go to Wipe -> Format data -> type Yes. This will get rid of the possible encryption from the stock ROM, but it will wipe your internal storage too.
-Reboot to system
You can use the 5 seconds screen to get to TWRP with the Volume buttons. Pretty handy I guess. There's a zip out there that gets rid of that screen, but you risk black-screening your phone with what seems to be no immediate fix (you'd be looking at an RMA)
So, after you use the phone and open TWRP again, you'll have an old version of it (3.0.1N-0 or sth). So go to Install, choose Install image, and select the TWRP 3.1.1-0.img on your SDcard. Then Reboot -> reboot to recovery and you can do whatever you want.

Hi!
Thanks for your help and the time you spent on my problem.
I have tried all that stuff already, but maybe not in exact that order. Will try it this evening.
In case i will be able to bring it back to life, I have 2 questions, pls:
1: You mentioned the 5sec-screen and a zip to get rid of it.
Where could I find it (not seen yet) and how do i get into fastboot, when I skip this screen?
2: When I setted up my Axon with a Custom Rom and SU and everything was working as it should do, I was not able to write to /system (or deleting something in system/apps)
How do I get rid of this restriction? I think I have found an instruction once, but I failed and afterwards my device was stuck in animation.
orry for bothering, but the Axon really drive me nuts. Never had such a hassle with my Nexus

Can you just leave the 5 sec screen alone? You can kill your phone, and there doesn't seem to be anything you can do really.
If you're insistent, you can find it under Themes Apps and Mods, called "We remove the inscription that the bootloader is unlocked" made by NFound1.
And about the restriction to modify the system, connect your phone to a PC with ADB, fire up ADB and configure it (USB debugging, ADB over network if you have the option, permit the connection) and issue 'adb reboot disemmcwp' (disable emmc write protection, that is. Write it just like that or your phone will reboot and you will still have the protection active).
The phone has its difficulties and all but it's easy to work with once you get the hang of it. And, you know, your big cores don't just die all of a sudden, which is a good thing!

Tried exactly the steps you descriped, but no luck ---- still stuck in animation
Will try it tomorrow with Magist.
How can I go back to total stock.

I tired to flash a B5 an B5 bootstack with TWRP 3.1.1 -> not able to boot
Then i flashed, according to your guide, the stock recovery and now the device seems to be really bricked.
After the ZTE logo a lying robot appears for half a second and after that, the device is dead.
Can't boot into TWRP, can't use adb, EDL, ...
Ok, managed to get back TWRP.
But I really don't know how so solve my issue of how to come back to stock :crying:
Flashed a B05 stock (zip) and B05 bootstack and Magist....stuck in boot animation (AXON picture collage).

to go back to stock, download the full zip of any version you want, and download stock recvovery from b08, you have flashed it.
from twrp, format data, and try to boot, if you cannot, reflash b09 recovery from twrp, select image and the recovery you download, then go to stock recovery and update from sdcard. it allways work for me, if you stuck in boot animation again, reboot recovery and wipe data.
after you succesfully boot, reboot edl, and reflash twrp, the version you were using before witn axon7tool, thats all

Just follow my guide for that. If you flash the B04 recovery (the one i provided) you shouldn't have any trouble
Managed to flash the B05 and phone is up and running.
Made a backup by using TWRP 3.1.1.0 and flashed CarbonRom, which also worked nicely.
However, I'm not able to flash LOS by using the B05 bootstack.
I'm too dumb for this phone

What B05 bootstack? You have to use the universal bootstack and the A2017G modem file...
Both are on the LOS thread. It seems weird that carbonROM would even boot without the universal bootstack though
First of all, all my Data is backed on my Harddrive, so we dont need to take care of them.
I followed the Guide on One Plus Forum on how to unlock the Bootloader and Flash TWRP and root.
I wanted to use Magisk for root.
I followed the guide until the step with the decrypted filesystem. I installed the "no_verity_op5.zip" and magisk as statet in the guide and now my phone starts with the "g.com/abh" message and goes directly to TWRP.
When i start fastboot, bootloader and baseband is blank.
Any idea how to fix my phone?

maybe u can try to ignore the blank screen on the fastboot and fash TWRP, if it's showing success on the cmd/powershell, then try to boot into recovery via command on the cmd/powershell. or maybe u can relock ur bootloader.
also in my experience i didn't install the "no_verity_op5.zip", i just did the unlock comand and select unlock bootloader and it's done
Sorry for the late reply, i needed a sleep.
I flashed TWRP a few times without succes, also flashing no_verity_op5.zip didnt help.
My previous idea was to use Resurrection Remix from XDA, so i flashed it and the Phone started again.
But it didnt connect to my Wifi, several restarts of the phone and of my router later i flashed OOS Again.
Maybe ill try to root it again. If it fails, ill be here again.
/data needs to be completely formatted after flashing the no_verity zip, there's no other way to remove the encryption.
The reason that's relevant is you'll get what your experiencing of you don't format /data, as it's trying to access the encrypted data that the fstab says isn't encrypted at this point and can't get further than that
1/ Backup your files on your computer
2/ Format your Data partion (format.. it's not a wipe!) you will erase all your data/internal
3/ Wipe all your others partitions (Dalvik/Cache + Cache + System)
4/ Install your rom
5/ Install no-verity zip oreo if you want have a decrypted device or flash nothing if you want have a encrypted device (more safe)
6/ Install Magisk... a 14.x Magisk version instead of a 15.x, 15x might cause bootloop after a clean flash. You can update your Magisk after the first boot
are you on 5.0.1? dirty reflashing the rom worked for me

Flashed it from fastboot but doesn't come ,only comes fastboot mode ?
Only Sharp works in 10 properly.

It just won't boot. You can still recover from this by enabling the setting in twrp and reformatting data.
You will lose data regardless of this being enabled because this is only used for formatting data. That's what formatting data does

3. install shrp recovery zip file (phone is still in b-slot)
4. change slot to a
5. reboot recovery
6. format data
7. install miui12
8. reboot
will this steps safely boot my device???
hello. first thank you very much for your hard work. i really apreciate.
so, i was on stock rom, freshly unlock the bootloader and flash twrp unofficial for android 10.
then in twrp i flash the zip installer and reboot to recovery.
once again in twrp i, like i'm use to, wipe successfully dalvik/system/data to erased all of stock rom.
then i format data (the one typing "yes" for confirmation) but it broke internal storage.
twrp does not show any file or folders. i rebooti in recovery but it won't show anything
i reflash twrp and the same... nothing.
so i went to fastboot mode and flash shrp, boot up in recovery but it was still not showing files or folders of internal storage. i wipe dalvik/system/data and reboot to recovey.
and this time it show folder but with codes like "QRGHQ9R4HGVUQE4RNG98TH9324HTG923" OR "66EFQ3KFK4TK34KT3K4K34K2KK2" and so...
what do i 'm doing wrong?
can i format data with out breaking internal storage?
the only thing i can do to get internal storage was flash stock rom again, i have not encrypted anything, i don't use microsd card, even i don't use password to unlock screen.
thanks in advance for your comments.

Ok you performed Format > And type "Yes" , actually this will Format your internal storage as well, RIP for your Data now else you took a backup earlier.
Now connect your phone to your PC with data cable , in mount section check if MTP is enabled if not then enable it , now your phone's internal storage shows in PC transfer Rom flash Zip files to internal storage, disconnect from PC and flash that rom.
Recovery choice is yours SHRP or TWRP
Note - Do not perform format > yes before flashing that zip.

Not able to flash recovery
I am on the latest stock android patch, probably that's why not able to flash recovery.
First I tried TWRP 3.3.1-2 Unofficial by Nikesh Kataria from the other post. As it said it supported android 10 with decryption and everything. But it didn't work.
Now with version 3.4.0-0, I am able to boot into recovery using platform-tools. But the files in /sdcard seems to be encrypted (judging by the codes shown instead of readable folder names).
Could someone please help me suggest any recovery which supports latest stock android 10 with decryption?
Is there a way around this?

Decryption will only work if you format data first. This is with every recovery. Has to be a factory reset of stock ROM or fresh install of custom ROM and from then twrp will be able to decrypt if it is installed, you're not installing it either by the way just temporarily installing it to inactive slot which will get wiped on reboot. For twrp to decrypt you must install it using the installer.zip by flashing it in you're temporarily installed twrp.img

Thanks for the help.
But after booting into twrp, how do I install twrp.zip. I even tried sideload that also errors out "Unable to find partition for path /cache".
May be I am missing some step. But here is what I have done.
Unlocked bootloader.
Booted into TWRP on inactive_slot(i.e. slot_b , in my case) with command fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Trying to install twrp.zip (failing at this step itself).

Thanks for the help.
But after booting into twrp, how do I install twrp.zip. I even tried sideload that also errors out "Unable to find partition for path /cache".
May be I am missing some step. But here is what I have done.

Put the zip on an SD card
Some ROM has some recovery integrated within the OS. If i install that and then the ROM, will the ROM's recovery overwrite this?

Flash twrp installer zip after flashing rom zip
I attempted to install LineageOS 17.1 on my Mi A1, but while wiping storage, I accidentally also clicked Internal Storage and wiped it too. Now, I tried to restore my backup but when I go to restart to turn on my Mi A1, it gets stuck in a boot loop. I also tried using XiaoMiFlash and the original ROM to get all the firmware settings to stock. Now, I tried also installing custom ROM again, LineageOS 17.1 but it also gets stuck in a boot loop. Is there anything else I can do?? I'm very frustrated... I hope my device isn't completely bricked. Any help is appreciated.

I have already tried that, the only issue now is that the Custom ROM after installing (LineageOS 17.1) will not boot properly. Maybe this is because I skipped TWRP Recovery? Well, I don't know why but TWRP Recovery zip will not copy into phone storage. it is originally .img file, but the guide I'm following has .zip file so I converted into zip via Windows Explorer (file manager). But, it does not copy and when I use img to zip website converter iand it does copy, but it says "invalid zip file format" once flashing.
One thing I should note, the backup does work now. I had a typo when making the folder so it wouldn't work. Backup does work now, but something really stupid is happening. When I go to turn on screen lock, it will keep looping me into "which type do you want to choose, fingerprint + pin, password, pattern" after completing the process. If I don't choose fingerprint, it finishes but the screen lock isn't effective. Any help on this?

You cannot just convert that image file into a zip file like that.
Where did you get that twrp file from?
If you want to install twrp, you need to flash the twrp.img file via fastboot, then sideload the twrp.zip via trwp.
(maybe just flashing the img file works too, but I often read that you have to do both).
