How exactly do I get into this application? I've successfully unlocked my bootloader (I think, don't know how to confirm it). Then I went and installed goomanager and followed the steps described in the first post. This all succeeded without errors.

When I restart my phone with Vol+ held, I see "Fastbood Mode !!!" and the phone locks. After taking out the battery and putting it back in, it starts like normal.

any instructions? Right now, there's no way of really finding out how things work except for tinkering by oneself. It's more comfortable to have a step-by-step guide, if anyone could be so kind to make it.

get into recovery mode by pressing [POWER] + [VOL DOWN]

That looks like normal. Guess it didn't install then?

I'm kind of nervous to try again, since some users reported bricking their phones...

I had the same issue, when tried to install the custom recovery with goomanager. Nothing happens!

I havent have time to try with fastboot though, maybe that works!

If you're worried about bricking it, try it first with "fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img", rather than flashing it right away. This ofcourse will not work if you use goomanager

If u have unlocked bootloader, it is still not a HARD BRICK, and ur device still can be save by flashing recovery through fastboot.

Download the TWRP from goomanager, then find the downloaded file (openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img) as default it should be in folder /goomanager/ and move it to your PC and use fastboot


fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img

I'm guessing some users here does not know much about this. Thus they keep rumbling about bricking their devices when using goomanager.

@oroo or someone else;

I've now tried to flash twrp with fastboot but no luck yet, command prompt says when I flash it that sending and writing the recovery partition are OKAY but when I try to boot into the recovery, it still goes to stock recovery.

What should I do, because I really don't want to use that GOOManager app to this? I have unlocked the bootloader, then downloaded the openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img file and tried to flash it in command prompt with < fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img > Need help!

Message was editted at 09:29AM:

Do I need to root before I can flash TWRP? This is a really weird problem, never had a one like this before.

When I've flashed the recovery everything seems to work fine and I just boot my phone with command "fastboot reboot" but it's still in stock recovery after shutdown and starting with "POWER+VOL DOWN". Can someone confirm that is GooManager working now? Cos' I have no intrest bricking my phone.

@azorii
Try with "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img"
That should boot you into the recovery, if that command boots you into the twrp recovery there is probably an .sh file somewhere that tells the phone to overwrite the recovery with the stock one on every boot, I know the Padfone 2 has that. I would suggest looking in /system/etc after a file named "install-recovery.sh" and delete that file (requires root.

@Lidenburg thanks a lot! fastboot boot got me into the TWRP. So now I should root my phone to delete the install.sh file.

I'm also wondering what should I backup in TWRP? If I backup recovery partition, does it backup stock or twrp-recovery?

I'm a bit noob

PS. TWRP wants to root my phone in reboot, does that work or should I root it with the script?

I now have root permissions! I located the install-recovery.sh file with root explorer but if I remove it will I have to flash the TWRP recovery once more with fastboot and then it boots straight to TWRP every time?

Edit.

Now I have working TWRP custom recovery, I just renamed the install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak with root explorer and R/W permissions. No I can flash those ROM's finally. Thx!

I alway do a full backup, even if not needed, you don't know what could happen, and I can tell you that the padfone partition are easy to corrupt


fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img

allow you to boot one time the TWRP, if you want it to be installed you need to use


fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-A66.img

Guys, thanks for the explanations. The only thing I still need to know: How to use fastboot? I connect it to my pc and use command prompt? Never done it before.

EDIT: Okay, I've been searching and apparently it's as simple as using command line interface on the connected computer. Now where do I put the twrp file exactly?

Where on my PC is fastboot? (Or should I download something?)

EDIT2: After some searching, I suspect that I need the android SDK for this. I'm not at my home computer right now, so I can continue on this when I get home. ^^
