Flash recovery via fastboot [FAIL]

[obiwan2208]

Before I flashed my phone via fastboot with the command fastboot flash boot twrp.img, but now I'm in problems because yep, recovery is flashed...but always boot on recovery (no needed to press vol keys).

I tried to use ADB commands but says something like "remote command not allowed".

After this the only solution is use flashtool and load a stockROM for write correctly on boot partitions...losing the recovery.

I want to have got a customROM rooted with TWRP recovery, not a stockROM rooted without recovery

I'm opened for choices...or more details.

EDIT: I'm coming from stockROM DE customized 5.1.1 and rooted with KingRoot

In first instance make a fresh installation with stockROM DE customized 5.1.1 to try some customROMs and if I don't like any, load PureX v3 with clean installation.

As long as you don't go for CM, the only thing you have to do is
-Flash stock rom, root and install recovery
-Boot into recovery, do a factory reset and flash the ROM zip

I know it, is not my first dance with customROMs.

I take a note for make a factory reset before flashing.

• I flash the stockROM with FlashTool (OK)
• I root w/KingRoot...and maybe to change by SuperSU (OK)
• I install TWRP recovery (OK)...but

But every time boot on recovery, really no start the "system": Android, and although I flash new customROM when I reboot is booting ALWAYS on recovery.

When I use the command fastboot flash boot twrp.img the boot sequence -I think- is "corrupted", creating a bypass and making the recovery as normal boot.

The point is what is the fix or other way to install TWRP and from there as usual, flashing, bla, bla. If my phone can't "reboot to system" correctly as much I flash it I can't enjoy the customROMs.

I tried too with the app "TWRP Manager", but not works (rooted, of course). I'm 3-4 times with this recovery "bootloops" only restored with stockROMs and FlashTool.

I hope explained well enought.

try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=el

I tried too The app download the latest TWRP version and...nothing happens.

The options are shrinking...:crying:

I tried again with TWRP Manager y Rashr, with all ways allowed with each app and nothing. Download, flashing, reboot but not on recovery.

there is another way http://nut.xperia-files.com/ go here then
XZDualRecovery --> XZDualRecovery 2.8.23 --> XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and download it to your pc, unzip the file and execute the install programm then follow the instruction ( in order to do this you must have Supersu)

PS: Why not try another recovery from the app i told you ( Rashr ). Just download the recovery and press flash.

Finally it's done!:victory::victory::victory:

It has done with XZDualRecovery, it's a pain in ass have to change KingRoot by SuperSU (with Terminal, bla, bla). Give permission to ADB, reboot...and by first time the LED is turned on in rose!! :good:

After check out the recovery I let boot normally and show again the alphanumeric keyboard to type PIN.

Thanks for putting up with me so much.

By the way, are you greek?

You were betrayed by the language modifier of GooglePlay:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=el

This modifier force GooglePlay to show the content in Greek, same as &hl=en english, &hl=es spanish, etc.

I was there a week in Athens and other places.

Thanks again.

Yes, we really enjoyed it, especially my wife who likes to Ancient Greece, in fact one week is shorter to enjoy fully Athens, monuments, even outside of turist circuits.

I hope go back again #WeAreAllGreeKs
