I followed the video tutorial and when I flash recovery, then proceed to boot into recovery it fails to boot into recovery, it just flashes then boots like normal when I perm root. I don't know what's going on. I tried the clear cache command with no response.
I have searched and didn't find anything.
Anyone able to help please?
It is most likely you did something wrong when you flashed the recovery img, just follow the tuto again and make sure to follow each step.
Here is a guide made by mike: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
I have done that. Tried a few times. I am fairly "in the know" with rooting ect, but I just can't figure this out.
Disable fast boot

Did you reboot after flashing the recovery or did you just go straight into it? I had the same problem and what fixed it is rebooting after flashing the recovery 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.

Tried that to.
When I press perm root, it just reboots normal like recovery doesn't even exist.
Have you tried flashing stock recovery and trying to boot in it? I know that doesn't fix anything, I am just curious if your device will actually boot into any recovery state at all. I have read on XDA about some devices not being able to boot into recovery for some reason.
Here's the stock recovery, just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38504123
Okay give me a shot at that.
I noticed after flashing recovery, mine doesn't tampered like it should?
The stock recovery says it's not available anymore.
If it doesn't say TAMPERED then the recovery must have not been flashed to begin with and that is why it's not booting into it. Which recovery are you trying to install? I use TWRP 2.5.0 and I flashed it with fastboot then restarted and it booted fine. My device is S-ON, by the way, and running Trickdroid 7.5.
US Developer Edition Recovery: http://d-h.st/b5g
T-Mobile Recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvs38223dfrzsny/recovery_tmobile.img
I am not sure if either one will work with your device since I am guessing it's international? But they might be worth a shot.
Never mind, I found the stock international recovery for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22045273/htc1-stock-recovery.img it was on page 4 of the thread. Give it a go.
I flashed the stock recovery and it still boots like there is no recovery there. and it doesn't say "tampered"
This is crap
EDIT: Yeah I figured it's not being flashed since it's not tampered, but no matter what I try it won't flash.
I'm navigating to the folder: CD C:\One_All-In-One_Kit_v\Data\Recoveries then typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't work.
It says it's flashed ect, but doesn't boot into it, nore show tampered.
This is very weird and unfortunately I do not know the solution to that. I do not use the All-In-One-Kit, actually, but just a mini-SDK with fastboot files inside. I use shift + right click and "open command prompt window here" rather than navigate to the location, it's just much easier that way. Can you try flashing the latest TWRP recovery?

I just downloaded TWRP and flashed it ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) it said all the jabber, like it worked, rebooted and still no "tampered" just reboots like nothing ever happen.
I give up.
Would ADB be any better?
Ugh man that's horrible. I honestly do feel your frustration because I have faced similar situations with my HTC devices (One X and One) countless times, and it sucks because you know the correct steps yet it's not working. I sure hope someone knowledgeable about this can come in and help you. Best of luck.
EDIT: I have only used ADB to sideload a ROM but I don't know about flashing recoveries. If you know how to do it, then why not? It's worth a shot for sure.
EDIT #2: And if you're not familiar with ADB, this article should get you started: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Make sure you follow all the steps to the word and also install HTC Sync Manager for the proper drivers to be loaded.
I know right, driving me nuts.
I've never done adb to flash a recovery before but don't know if I would want to be the pidgeon to try lol

Tried that, no go.
Also checked the drivers, re-installed no go.
I am quite up there with adb, but not with flashing recovery with a HTC device lol.
There seems to be another method for flashing recoveries besides fastboot.
http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3...lash-recovery-image-via-fastboot-sd-card.html
This is an HTC Evo section but it could work for the One as well, although I am not sure of it. I have done some Googling and I did not come across any articles/threads saying that it is possible to flash a recovery using ADB, so that might not be possible.
Hi guys!
I reckon many people knows this, but I'm starting this thread for ignorant people.
I'm not responsible for any error. Don't forget this: You must be careful, otherwise you can brick your device
Starting...
If you want to install custom recovery, you should unlock bootloader but to do this you must be rooted
HOW TO ROOT?
Download framaroot here for the root device. This app can root many device. --->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
Download and install it to your phone. Then click open. You should select "Install SuperSU" from above section then click "Gandalf". Other sections don't work on our devices. After click it, you should see this message "Succes SuperSU installed. Reboot!" if you see this message please restart your phone. Now you are ready for unlocking bootloader.
HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER?
If your device is E610, download E610.zip from attachment and extract E610.bin. If your device is E612, download from attachement E612.zip and extract E612.bin to your internal storage's root directory.
(/mnt/sdcard/ directory). Then, download "Terminal Emulator" from Google Play Store and open it. Type this commands. Please be careful! If you type wrong, you can brick your device!
FOR E610
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/E610.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
FOR E612
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/E612.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
SUCCES! You've unlocked your bootloader! Now we can install custom recovery.
HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY?
Download custom recovery from atachement. What do you want. Then copy it to internal storage's root directory. (/mnt/sdcard/ directory)
Then type this commands: (This is same in both.)
FOR CWM RECOVERY
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/cwm-6.0.5.0.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
FOR TWRP RECOVERY
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
FOR PHILZ TOUCH RECOVERY
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/philz_6.58.7.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
AND SUCCES! YOU CAN INSTALL ROM-APP-ANYTHING-ZIP FILE IN YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY!
GOOD LUCK!

Hi, I have tried to install CWM in many different ways already (see this post), but when I try to enter recovery mode, only the two back/menu buttons briefly light up, and the phone goes dark again.
I have downloaded your e610.zip, and it contains the same files I already tried (found also in other .zips and .rars). Should this work for a phone that was already updated to 4.1.2 (stock ROM so far)?

I'm not sure, I've never worked for L5. This is just a guide for how-to. You may ask to the other ones or open a thread at Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if you still haven't and wait for replys.
Good luck.
My E612 has some software problem. Somehow device remembered apps installed, settings, messages everything used once and now stuck on to it. Factory reset dosen't works. Everthing remains the same even after factory reseting. No root, bootloader locked. Complete stock. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I have a LG L5 E612g and I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader (only that) and the result was that the phone boots like always, but after a while it reboots randomly. According to what I have read that is common when you use the wrong .bin. The thing is that there is not much information available about the differences between E612 and E612g (apparently it is a variant, maybe to South-America), and as a result I didn't know whether I should flash the e610.bin or the e612.bin. I tried the latter... and it failed.
What do you guys think? How can I revert to normal, do I have to flash the stock rom again? Should I try the e610.bin instead?

I installed the CWM recovery for my Xperia SP and then I changed my rom for Cyanogen mod 11. But now, I haven't acces to the recovery. When my phone boots, it does 3 red lights then boot normally even if I press any button to acces to any recovery. I tried to choose " reboot in recovery" bot it doesn't work too ! In addition, I tried to reinstall the recovery in debug mode but the installer says " access denied "
Can someone help me with this problem please ?

Losing Recovery Mode for your device usually occurs when there is an error or a small mishap in the installation of the custom rom.
Usually, installation of recoveries is possible but for your case it didn't.
As such I recommend flashing a custom kernel compatible with the rom which in this case is Williams Kernel for CM.

There are reports that Williams Kernel v7 works on Locked Bootloader though I did not tested it personally.
You might want to try to flash it.
If else fails, then starting fresh is your only option as mentioned by Furrydaus
But, I haven't access to my recovery, So I should flash again my room but with tool flash that's it ?

It is a very silly problem with CM11. Rooting is allowed to apps only by default. I had this problem too. It is easy to solve.
Just go to developer options and make sure rooting access is given to both "Apps and ADB" instead of "Apps only". That should solve your problem of "access denied" while installing recovery.
ATTENTION!
You MUST read all the guide BEFORE doing it, if you do it without reading all of it first you may ends up bricking your phone!
Prerequisites:
Asus ZE500KL (may work on ZE500KG, but haven't tested, do it on your own risk) on Marshmallow, NOT LOLLIPOP!
Also, it must have fully booted AT LEAST one time, otherwise, you'll soft-brick it.
If your phone is not on Marshmallow, you can use THIS guide insteadDownload and put the unlocker zip file and the SuperSu zip file in the phone
How To:
1 - Install adb and fastboot driver (follow THIS guide)
Now you can connect the phone to your computer2 - Reboot in fastboot mode with one of the following method:
a -Volume Up while booting upb -With adb, after enabling USB debugging in developer settings, using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in bootloader, you have to boot in TWRP,
download THIS recovery (is the twrp one) and boot in to it, using this command:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-x-x-x-x.img
(Obviusly the recovery name must be the one you downloaded)
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
It should automaticaly enter in recovery.
Now you MUST flash FIRST ZE500KL_BootloaderUnlock.zip, otherwise you'll brick your phone
Btw, the recovery will mount your phone's memory, so you can put now the files in the phone, if you forgot to do it before
AFTER you installed the unlocker zip, you can install the SuperSu zip
When the install is complete, clear the cache and reboot your phone, now you can enjoy your root!

Is it me or everytime I reboot the device after rooted, it's going back to unrooted?
Root is a success tho, great job, OP!
Edit: okay, not every reboot, but after several reboots, then it went back unrooted
P/S: Im sorry if im against this XDA or forums rules. Its my first time to post something. If i done something wrong kindly let me know.
Condition: You have Official Marshmallow WW_V21.40.1220.1698 installed on your ZE601KL (I forgot to mention that Im coming from CM13, that makes it need bootloader unlock n root probably?)
TWRP install:
-go into fastboot mode (shut down your phone. press VOL UP + POWER at the same time until it vibrates and release)
-download and install adb (can get it here i guess. credit to @snoop005 )
-download twrp here (credit to maintainer @LuK1337) and put it in the ADB folder
-in ur pc hold shift + right click and click "open command window here" in ADB folder
-type in "fastboot device" and make sure ur device is detected
-type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img must be the same name with the twrp that u hv downloaded eg:fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-4-Z00T.img )
-type in "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img must be the same name with the twrp that u hv downloaded eg:fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-4-Z00T.img )
-look at ur phone and it should be installed
Root install
-download SuperSU (credit to @Chainfire) (thanks to @Cr0ssL1nk for notify me about the updated SuperSU! )
-boot to recovery (shut down your phone. press VOL DOWN + POWER at the same time until it vibrates and release)
-select install and browse for the .zip file location
-wait for the installation done and ure good to go
It works on my ZE601KL!!!
Thank you very much xyexiaoyuer in your first post
I would assume this process is the same for any of the variants for which the bootloader is already unlocked and assuming you use the correct TWRP image.
If nothing else, it should work for any Z00T phone. I'll try it on my ZE551KL tonight.

On the "fastboot boot recovery.img", I first got it to successfully transfer over something, then the second line said that it failed.
I continually did this and got the same results and my phone continued to say "fastboot" in the corner, so I wasn't sure if anything had happened.
I finally "gave up" and pulled the battery but I booted into the Recovery (Vol down + Power) and found that TWRP actually was installed and from there I flashed over SuperSU and was rooted in minutes.
Great job, and thanks! I may be a bit rusty with all this since this is my first Android device in about 3 years.

Thanks, but I am pretty sure Flashing twrp writes over stock recovery and unless someone else has the stock image, you can't get it back. I don't know how to make a backup of stock recovery, that's why I wondered if only booting twrp will work.

if ure using ze601kl, i think the stock recovery can be downloaded here .. download according to your version of firmware of course =) let me know if its work for you. the last time im coming from cm13 to Lollipop im using recovery from there to write off twrp. hope this helps =)
Thanks, that's a great resource! I kind of hijacked this thread since I have the ze551kl. Even though its a zoot model, I'm reluctant to flash anything that is not the exact model firmware. Will the 601 image work for the 551?

You can boot into TWRP without overwriting your stock recovery using:
HTML:
fastboot boot twrp.img
That would allow you to install SuperSU without actually installing TWRP. If you want to replace stock recovery with TWRP, you would use:
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

P/S: Im sorry if im against this XDA or forums rules. Its my first time to post something. If i done something wrong kindly let me know.
Condition: You have Official Marshmallow WW_V21.40.1220.1698 installed on your ZE601KL (I forgot to mention that Im coming from CM13, that makes it need bootloader unlock n root probably?)
TWRP install:
-go into fastboot mode (shut down your phone. press VOL UP + POWER at the same time until it vibrates and release)
-download and install adb (can get it here i guess. credit to @snoop005 )
-download twrp here (credit to maintainer @LuK1337) and put it in the ADB folder
-in ur pc hold shift + right click and click "open command window here" in ADB folder
-type in "fastboot device" and make sure ur device is detected
-type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img must be the same name with the twrp that u hv downloaded eg:fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-4-Z00T.img )
-type in "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img must be the same name with the twrp that u hv downloaded eg:fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-4-Z00T.img )
-look at ur phone and it should be installed
Root install
-download SuperSU ive tested SuperSU Root BETA v2.67.zip credit to them (help me credit them as i dont know who to tag)
-boot to recovery (shut down your phone. press VOL DOWN + POWER at the same time until it vibrates and release)
-select install and browse for the .zip file location
-wait for the installation done and ure good to go

Are you sure your phone is truely rooted and that apps needing root really works ?
Because in the official SuperSU page on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 , the developpers says your phone must already be rooted before flashing SuperSU.
Also, change the 2.76 Beta's link you gived for SuperSU in your tutorial to the 2.76 Stable version from my link to the official SuperSU XDA page.

Welp! now that i check back using "root check" apps it seems that the app hv some trouble to detect whether the phone is rooted. the last time everything was okay except for busybox. Perhaps because i rebooted the device? nvrtheless i will update the link and test the stable supersu given in the link

I don't think rebooting caused this.
The thing that makes me worry is that Busybox was not okay the first time you rooted your phone, because it must be one of the first thing that must be ok when you root a phone.
Have you got any updates on your side about making root really working ?

No problem, proofs are just great ! :highfive:
Also, check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67978015&postcount=8
Because you also must allow SuperSU in ASUS' Autostart Manager, that may be the problem you also got.
But please remember: Do not post something that seems to work but is not, a Beta or something not stable to other people without a lot of checking first

Thanks to everyone's help and ideas and especially to @rczrider. On my ze551kl, I successfully booted the twrp.img in fastboot, did a backup through twrp, then installed supersu zip, and successfully rooted. No overwrite of stock recovery with all the root privileges. Perfect.
