Cannot enter into recovery; Suppressed ROM problem - no help given by its cook

Dear Xda'ers,
I am really desperate on the situation and need your help.
I tried every solution to get into recovery mod including SFT and others available, no luck in getting there.
The rom is working, so no bricked phone situation, problem is gapps terminates itself making email and other functions unreachable.
So I want to switch to either the official rom or another one which is in the forum.
Phone is roooted by the way.
Any suggestions?
PS. As put in the title, this roms cook told me that he cannot help me.

Hello.
If you just want to get into recovery mode, open terminal emulator.
Type
'su'
Allow it and type
'Reboot recovery'
Without '.
Works under cwm.
If this doesn't work.
Use smart flash tool.
(Quoted) ⬇
After flashing your phone should Boot into recovery.
Dont forget to do always a factory reset. If not -> bootloop

SmartFlash Tool completly erases device memory during flashing.
Phone will make Factory Reset at first boot after flashing!
You can upgrade and downgrade. You can downgrade from V20N too!
This also will remove phone lock if you forget unlock code or pattern. (phone lock, NOT simlock or network lock...)
This method doesn't need internet connection.
If you want to flash an LG P970H download correct ROM from link below.​
With this solution you can unbrick LG Optimus Black P970.
It fixes bootloop, "ERROR LG Security Team", and BSOD - blue screen with green writings (untested).

Used ALL mentioned so far, brought it three different service centres, they couldn't manage to get into recovery as well
Any creative ideas?

power up your phone, then press and hold vol down + home key and then also press and hold the power button until the phone restarts. then it should boot into recovery.

worked for me

ok it seems there is also an other way to enter recovery:
on switched off phone (and only then!) press and hold G-key + volume up and then press power key.
it should boot straight into recovery.

Cant you push recovery through adb/fastboot?

Do you still have cwm and the custom ROM on your phone? If yes, simply download quickboot or rommanager from playstore and hit reboot recovery.

Hi guys,
Tried the two methods from DuffBoon and wash beer - no luck.
I think there is something wrong with gapps as it gives an error when I try to download smth from Google Play- so no option to load any new app.
I go into terminal emulator, input 'su' and have superuser rights, than punch 'reboot recovery', it reboots but no recovery at all.
My diagnosis is CWM and gapps is broken somewhat; SFT or another method is not working for that reason.

But your system is still working? There is an adb flashable cwm recovery from redy06 somewhere here. Google:
Xda cwm touch redy06
And youll probably find it. You can flash it with the device on. There also is a reboot recovery script in the pack, so you can check if it works or not.

Latest OTA broke this method
I can't reflash TWRP/Root since my phone got the latest OTA firmware update.
It seems to flash the recovery correctly, but when I want to boot into it, I just get the EMUI recovery.
I tried several times.
My phone is a VNS-31 version VNS-L31C432B150 with EMUI 4.1.1.

Send the screenshot of cmd commands when you flash it.....

And one more thing, you need to check your bootloader again,,, i heard that it got relock again on firmware upgrade... Check that too,,, at last, see in usb debugging options that oem enabled or not!!

Guide
First we must unlock the bootloader to do this enable developer options by going to Settings>About and tap on Build Number untill developer mode has been enabled then goto Settings>Developer Options
then enable Allow OEM Unlock and Usb Debugging if you dont have these options you will need to downgrade Download
now power off your device and then press Volume UP + Power to enter the bootloader
once in the bootloader press volume up to select fastboot and volume down to enter fastboot
once in fastboot we type the command fastboot oem unlock
this will wipe your data so make sure to backup
Once bootloader is unlocked we can flash TWRP in fastboot using the command fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
once you have flashed TWRP you can exit fastboot mode by holding down Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power
now you can enter TWRP by pressing Volume UP + Power and this time selecting recovery
Now we are inside are recovery we have a choice of having a fresh start or modding are current system
if you want a fresh start wipe system and data then flash stock Asus ROM Download after you flash the stock Asus ROM reboot to recovery again as this will prevent the next flash from failing if TWRP asks to install SuperSU say no
Now we need to flash the first part of my mod Google4Go_Part1_ZC500TG_Z00VD_xxxxxx.zip
If you want to have root flash the latest SuperSU Download
Now reboot to system and setup your device like normal
If you would like the Stock SystemUI (screenshot 3) go back into recovery and flash Google4Go_Part2_ZC500TG_Z00VD_xxxxxx.zip
Once you boot again you will need to enable google keyboard and you will also need to set your default sim card inside settings

yes i tested it on version 12.1.0.47 but you need to flash part 2 after you have booted up at least once

Thank you very much sir, awesome work.
Should I update the system when requested, or will I lose the changes? I've installed both parts.
EDIT: I've also encountered some bugs since installation, like wrong notification drop-down background blending with the fonts, and USB icon not showing when connected to a computer.

When you update the system it will install all the old Asus apps and change the SystemUI back to stock but you can just flash my zips again after a update and it should work fine
but keep a backup on your computer just in case you get a boot-loop after updating but even if you do get a boot-loop you should be able to backup using TWRP
USB icon works fine for me (screenshot's attached)
this is my grandmother's phone and the few apps she has installed she does not have no font blending but i cant see how this could happen as Asus's stock system UI was also white so the framework font colors should be fine what app was you using that has font bending?

It may work as the mod does not really do anything specil other then delete and add files
first backup your phone
then try my mod
If it does not work you can flash factory image from here: http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-Go-ZB551KL/HelpDesk_Download/
make sure you know how to flash factory image before trying
I also don't know if the twrp i posted for the ZC500TG/Z00VD will most likely not work for the ZB551KL so you may need to search online for a version that works for your phone

Thanks. It's awesome, but I have one teensy little problem. The contacts app doesn't support SIM anymore, and I can't miss that feature I use my SIM for storing my contacts. Though I could import, I couldn't add new ones. Also, SIM contacts doesn't show in thr contact list (unless, well, if I import them).
Edit: Stock SMS app too. Messenger doesn't support multiple SIM cards.

This is the standard way its the same on my nexus 5
you have a few options
1: extract the original contact app from the asus's factory image /system/priv-app/Contacts
you can use Extractor
then place it into your /system/priv-app/ folder
or the better and cleaner method is to just download a app from the playstore
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sim card contacts&c=apps
here are a few that come up on the search i have not tested
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.needom.simcontacts
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.penumbra.apps.SIM_Contacts_Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asus.contacts
I'm sure you can find more if you search
I do not believe google wants users to use sim card contacts anymore, as this feature has been disabled for nexus devices for a long time maybe it's time to stop using this feature as you never know if your future phone will have this feature

No is rooted not get in zb551kl unlocking the bootloader and not the root.
I did unpack / repack the system.img
I am studying how to solve the whole signature verif error in adb sideload.
I found no work in this device.

ZB452KG Model
I would like to know if this mod works on the Asus Zenfone GO ZB452KG, which is basically a smaller version of the ZC500TG. Let me know if it's possible. Thanks

If your able to flash a custom recovery(TWRP) on your phone then yes the mod should work
I not sure if the recovery i posted will work for your device it could soft brick your phone so flash at your own risk

Yeah, i don't think is gonna be possible, i wasn't able to unlock the bootloader, so no custom recovery for me, i guess. I tried downgrading to early versions of the stock ROM, but the phone tells me i can't flash an older ROM on top of a new one

Thank you so much for this great mod sir!, one thing, i have noticed on the top of the lock screen some kind of running text along with my carrier name "You have incorrecly drawn your unlock pattern %d ... etc". how can i remove this text?

reboot to recovery and use command
adb sideload /path/to/factoryimage_onyourcomputer.zip
then i enabled developer options then in there i turned on Allow OEM Unlock
then i was able to unlock bootloader

This is because we are using the asus framework-res.apk with stock google systemui.apk and the text inside the framework-res.apk are not matching up correctly
we would need to edit the system/framework/framwork-res.apk so the text is correct
but i currently don't have the Asus Zenfone GO with me to test as its my grandmothers phone and my grandmother is not staying at our house
but if you like you can try editing the framework-res.apk yourself there are some guides online: https://www.google.com.tr/search?q=framework-res.apk+edit
If you manage to fix it feel free to share it with us
or another option is to not flash part 2 so you keep the original lock screen

i cant make the mod for devices i don't own as i have no way to test if it works plus i have no way to see what needs to be deleted
also this mod will work on all Lollipop roms but the HTC816G has KitKat
also
Asus zb551kl != HTC816 / HTC816G
Asus ZC500TG = Mediatek MT6580 / Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
Asus zb551kl = Snapdragon 400 / Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
HTC816 = Snapdragon 400 / Android 4.4.2 (Kitkat)
HTC Desire 816G = (1.3ghz = Mediatek MT6582) (1.7ghz = Mediatek ???) / Android 4.4.2 (Kitkat)
they are not the same

Unable to enter Recovery Mode/ Can't OEM Unlock (z00vd/ZC500TG).
Greetings everyone!
I have the Zenfone GO (z00vd/zc500tg), and after I try to remove root I couldn't turn on the phone anymore.
I tried several tutorials, but none helped, something like the below:
-"try to recovery img via ADB" (but don't have permissions since I can't unlock OEM)
-"try to enter recovery mode with vol up + power" (but when I try this, the phone brick on ASUS logo)
So, I feel like I lost my phone ... can someone give an light?

There are some "globalised" china roms which are doing a decent job (with notifications sound fixed, chinese bloatware removed and google services installed), I recommend the one made by Francko76.
Also you can try all the treble stuff out there. I only tried two GSIs so far and I went back to Francko´s build.
Anyway I´m like you looking forward z6 pro dedicated custom roms.

Restore stock bootloader?
Hello, I recently went through the whole process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP recovery and flashing ROM, and I am at version 11.0.350 ST ROW currently.
The ROM works fine, but now at every boot I am greeted by the "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. <snip> Press power button to pause boot/continue" notice.
According to google, it's apparently a result of the bootloader unlocking process.
I tried to lock the bootloader again using "fastboot flashing lock", but then the phone stopped booting normally. It got stuck at the boot logo (which I believe means bricked?).
It wouldn't work until I unlocked bootloader and reflash the ROM.
So what I want to ask is, is it possible at this time to restore the bootloader to stock to avoid that "boot loader unlocked" notice and possibly become eligible for warranty again?

Question How to setup spflash for the soft bricked phone

Hi, my wife gifted me that Chopin phone form China, after a wrong "flash and lock" global firmware now my phone is stuck on bootloader.
According to this thread:

forum.xda-developers.com
I have all the files needed to setup sp flash and try to put again the Rom in the phone, which is now not unlocked and no usb debugging on.
Can someone please give me a tutorial on how to use those files? My phone still not recognised in sp flash com port, I don't know how to do.
If anyone will help me it will be so appreciated, thanks!

If you need to disable authorisation, did you run the MTK Auth Bypass tool and get the message "Protection disabled"? That's what I had to do before SP Flash Tool would flash the phone (without disconnecting it or rebooting), and I also had to set the baud rate to 921600, although that was all under Linux, and the phone was still unlocked.

it's complicated. with phone locked fastboot commands don't work. with my hold mi a3 fastboot flashing unlock command work. but with miui and mtk chipset probably it's useless. but u can try. if u boot into bootloader with mediatek driver the pc should recognize your phone also if it's blocked

1: Unzip this attached file into a folder. run it.
2: select the unlock bootloader and start, then connect you phone via usb with all three buttons pressed. (Phone must be off before connect, )

3: Your bootloader will be unlocked.
4: Close the program and re-start again, this time, select auth bypass and start, then repeat the phone connection. after at the bottom line, it show bypass ok.
from here you may flash again rom via Miflash or SPflash.
P.S: I think the file size is too big, I can not attach it here. Sorry! P.M me if you wish.

Thanks for the help, the problem I'm facing it's Auth tool cont recognise the phone, when I open the shell keep saying waiting for the device.
Driver are mtk with Libus installed, dunno.
When I restart the phone immediately have the logo then, if volume up I can log mi assistant or with volume down the bootloader screen.

1. Check your device driver for USB, suggest you re-install the MTK usb driver.
2. First run the program, select the Auth by pass then press start.
3. Make sure phone is in "power off" state, press Vol+, Vol- and power (all three at the same time), and don't release it, plug in USB cable and wait.... Don't release these three buttons until it is Auth by pass OK.
During this process, take a look at device manager, there must be one item like portable device - USB ( Com 3). keep flashing.

sure u add reinstall mtk driver

Tried many drivers, always same result:
Driver says the device can't start. Tried to install lisbus too but no changes.

you "must" remove (uninstall) the driver first then re-install the MTK usb driver again.

I did that many times, with win 10 no drivers signed mode, with many different mtk drivers but nothing was working. I'll try clean my windows and then start again with the drivers.

virtualbox is available for all system. i have a win7 virtualized under my linux pc, and miflash works fine. no bugs. if my tips makes you happy dont try. is not my problem, i didnt bricked my phone. i dont make things without know what i'm doing. good look. u can buy a new phone if u prefere
