Installing CyanogenMod by using fastboot

Hello,
The home button of my device (Magic) does not work at all. So, I can not confirm to install the CyanogenMod in the recovery screen.
Am I able to install the ROM via fastboot? or does anybody has another suggestion?
Regards,
Omer

Yes, you can flash ROMs via fastboot, but you'll need a system and data img for the ROM, and I'm not aware of a method to package them up based on an update.zip.

I checked inside the archive and saw the images but there also some scripts need to run. That's why; I couldn't dare to flash.
Is there a method I can follow?

You don't need any scripts, just a system and data to flash.
fastboot flash data.img
fastboot flash system.img
You wont find these images inside the update.zip, the sys/data-imgs need to be created from the sys/data folders. Best bet is to ask someone to perform a nandroid backup, backup the imgs, wipe, flash cyan, send you those imgs, restore their old imgs.

Thank you. But, the someone's device should be identical to magic, right? I have dream also. So, I can use the nandroid backups of it. However; I don't think this would be possible. what do you think?

I'm really not sure, but I think the device would need to have the same size data and system partitions as the Magic, which the Dream doesn't.

Use mkyaffs2 to make the System and Data .img Files
What operating system do you have because if you have linux or a linux virtual machine you could extract the update zip and use the mkyaffs2 utility code.google.com/p/yaffs2utils/ to make the system and data images.
There is also a much easier program called yaffey http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645412 but it is windows only

So this thread is kind of old, but I stumbled upon it looking for stuff.
Im using a google galaxy nexus and have a strange issue where I cant connect it via usb when in a different state than fastboot mode. I replaced the usb port (flex cable) already, but it doesnt help (if you got any advice on that, please tell me)
What I actually want to say is that I can't install cyanogen from recovery because I can't connect my phone when in recovery, but I can flash firmware normally via bootloader, I tried that already, so how exactly do I get the images for cyanogen? Because I don't fully grasp it yet.

Hi, I've already installed TWRP but when you say zip file, there's an img file, so can't flash it this way, also tried to flash via flashify but I'm on LB and I guess that's the problem.

That's ok for me with flashify and recovery Sony Bravia.
Now I will test the D722 V10D Firmware with twrp or flashify.
I shared my reviews later ^^
Edit :
Except a little problem with my account office 365,
everything is fine even my sd card is mount correctly

Have you flash the TWRP recovery with FLASHIFY ?

click flash recovery.
click choose file and pick the recovery.
thats it. in recovery you can flash zip files.

oh sry. i see the link for sony zip was wrong.
i correct it and put a link for the HTC Beats Update in the first post.

I tried to flash, halts on error, downloaded beats and when I open it also some sort of error occurs, besides, apk its like 1.7 mb, and zip is 200 kb, is that right?
thanks for the effort! going to try new beats mod with my drums!

tried home flash program Run ADB(comp.) and using FLASHIFY(phone). The same result, the phone boot in Fastboot!!!
where is the APK file ?
please write a detailed instruction ?

Which one are you trying to flash? With flashify I could not flash any but a twrp version that's not here, beats just used the apk and that was enough. Bravia could not flash, I guess there's something wrong with the upload..?

And so. About recovery.
I found it through a program Flashify (with Play Market). wrote all ok. Prompted to restart in recovery - OK.
Next on the splash screen LG written on top of the text, something like fastboot command waits ... and so on. in recovery not entered.
Try to boot via adb - the same thing.
Write detailed instructions !!!

hi, sorry to step in, but I couldn't flash this twrp, I have d855, found a "signed" version and finally got it working, if this works for you I can uploade it

Hi, please be careful. This device isn't similar to the LG G3 which is the device you have. Its a lower model. So it wouldn't have worked with your device. Thanks for the info though This is the LG G3 Mini or S or Beat.

4.Flash secro.img, lk.bin, preloader_meizu6753_65c_l1.bin via Flashtool.
5.Disconnect USB data cable and power on the phone. If you see the "=>Normal boot" sign(it's quite small.......) in the left bottom cornor of the screen, then the unlock is done. You can now flash things in whatever way you like. The guide is over~~~

PS: I tried to port a TWRP recovery from Elephone P8000 but the screen is upside down I tried to add ro.sf.hwrotation=180 in default.prop but it didn't work And I also tried to add setprop ro.sf.hwrotation 180 in init.rc. It didn't work as well:crying: Who can help fix this? Or I need to compile the TWRP myself?)

M1 metal is powered by YunOS, and it have a system service called"AntiRoot". As we all know, the antiroot in YunOS is very powerful which is extremely hard to hack. Now you can only use Kingroot to get "Fake Root",which can't edit the system partition. I'm using m2 note(M571) so I can't help u about that, sorry

Oh, and remember this tutorial WON'T WORK on Meizu M571C (meizu m2 note China Telecom version ). We are still working on that but we don't have the phone to test our work.

Our bootloader has some problems, so it will always shows it is locked, but in fact it can be uocked by my method, and we are able to flash recovery partition. I ported one but it's buggy, so I won't release it until problem resolved. The screen is upside down but touch is ok. Th only way to fix it is to compile the full image, but my computer's performance is so poor.... Could u help me bro?

Sorry i cant help you.. my pc is not powerfull too and i dont have knowladge about it.. I wish someone can help u better.. and you can release custom rom or custom recovery for our Meizu m2 note.. peacee..

Hello, meanwhile thanks for excellent work, many were expecting this, this point is not clear 3.Flash the temp-unlock-secro.img via Flashtool. in which voice I load this? and also others from flash files,
do you think that will function on G firmware or is it better if he comes back to version A?

This guide only change the ""secro" partition, "preloader" and "lk"(bootloader). It does not depend on your firmware version. So be relax and try it
Hope your Google translater works well

How about in the guide:
And change the Scatter to this file:
Now choose temp-unlock-secro.img and select it.
but it always fails because it is not a scatter but .img

The scatter file is "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt", not the img maybe i insert a wrong picture there

what about mx4 pro (Exynos 5430 Octa) ?

hello we are new to and TWRP custom rom ??

I have build a TWRP recovery from the newest CM12.1 and TWRP source code.
Here's the link: https://mega.nz/#!ychBnTSb!wL6qicJ2KCpwnhHNImEhhk2OGuEKThxcDk2tj0iGuP0
Problems: Sometimes /cache partition can't be mounted. You can flash preloader, lk and secro partition again to solve this.
And the CPU Temperature clock doesn't work. It always shows 0 Degree...... I'll try to fix it.
Other functions works well Try it!
Before you flash it by Flash tool or fastboot or other tools, remember to remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p
That file will restore the flyme recovery at boot~

I would try but it is not clear how to use flash tool can make images of where to load the various files?
thank you

Run Flash Tool.
Load the scatter file first, then click the blank after "recovery", then load the recovery image. Click download then your phone will get TWRP recovery.
Remember to remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p first or your recovery will go back to flyme one

After installing the twrp have you tried to reflash a flyme rom ? Does it works or the official rom have some checks in the zip file to remove ?

ZE500KL (Z00ED) Soft-bricked... (bootlooping on Asus logo, doesnt even show ROM logo)

Hello...
So, me, a dumbass, decided to try to encrypt the phone while it was rooted... Everything went wrong, and on the first reboot it started rebooting non-stop(on the Asus logo)... I left it for some time but nothing changed.
I tried restoring a backup(system, data and boot), stays the same, tried restoring stock boot and reflashing the rom(ResurrectionRemix) but nothing changed. How do I solve this?
(Note that I have a backup of all stock ROM partitons, except the recovery)

I solved by flashing stock ROM with Asus Flash Tool:
ASUS Drivers: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE500KL/HelpDesk_Download/ - Select Android OS, then go to "USB" and download the drivers
Website (tutorial on how to use it is linked there): http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2017/03/download-asus-flashtool-10045-for-zenfone-3.html
RAW firmware files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...0a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966/page3
In case you don't want to check both RAW files, I posted here the versions of each firmware:
First link: WW_ZE500KL_V12.8.5.222_M3.6.42_Phone-user (Lollipop)
Second link: WW_ZE500KL_13.10.10.44_M3.6.51_Phone-user (Marshmallow)
If you get confused when you need to select the RAW file, go to the extracted folder and there will be it. (I got confused because the folder by itself was named .raw lol)... Also, don't delete any file, as you probably will need them one time later

Need backup img for tb-x304f

Hi I have tb-x304f.
I installed TWRP to get root access and by mistake I deleted my backup and now I can't update to 8.1.
So can someone give me backup img?
Thanks :good:

They don't have images like Google devices, but flashable firmwares.
http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/category/287-lenovo-tab4-a10-tb4-x304l/ has it, second from the bottom, underneath all the OTAs. Double check that you got the 4F and not the 4L one.
I don't have this device so I cannot help you with it if you have issues, nor can I say this will work for you. I also really don't profess to be any kind of an expert so do ask in one of the other Tab 4 threads if needed... but I do have the TB-8704F & have restored it to stock several times and I would assume the devices to be identical in process so I can give you a guide if needed! The general path is:
Download the zip and extract it
Download and install Xiaomi Mi Flash (some say to use QFIL but it often throws up errors and sometimes requires flashing in multiple passes, when Mi Flash doesn't)
Plug your device into your PC
Put your device into Emergency Download Mode, easiest way for you is probably to first reboot to TWRP which you luckily already have installed
In TWRP go to Advanced>Terminal>type Reboot EDL
Open Mi Flash and it should see your device. Click Select, open the images directory in your extracted firmware and it should detect the flashing process XML
Click Flash, then leave everything to complete
I will warn you that you will lose everything on your device. There's no way around this that I know of, nor would I suggest it anyway. Just back up everything before doing the restore.
+ Good luck! But honestly I'd first weigh up whether you really want to update to 8.1 since you're already on a perfectly-working device. They already pushed the OTA once and had to retract it because of the amount of serious errors it had - but that's your call entirely.
