My G1 randomly froze during operation. So I held down the power button to bring up the power menu and hit restart. After hitting restart nothing happened, so I took out the battery and put it back in and booted the phone up but it's stuck in the first boot (T-Mobile G1). I can boot into fast boot but not recovery.
I was using CM 5.0.8 with Radio 2.22.23.02.
I had some ROMs on the SD card, but fastboot would either say "No image" or "No image or wrong image"
I've formatted my SD back to FAT32 and tried these images, but I get the same messages in fastboot:
gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip
spl-signed.zip
update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed.zip (might as well try CM 6 if CM5 from before wasn't being detected)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for any help
If you can get into fastboot, just flash a recovery back onto your device, then you can wipe and re-flash your rom. Your phone doesn't sound bricked.

sorry for calling it bricked. I didn't really know what to call it.
I gave that a try. I put Amon_Ra 1.7.0 recovery image on my SD card and fastboot doesn't recognize it
Don't put it on your sd card. You do it from your computer. Assuming you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed, just type this in console:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path-To\Your-Image\name_of_recovery.img
I would suggest using ClockworkMod for your recovery, you can find it [HERE].

Thanks for the quick replies. I've never installed/used fastboot on my linux box, but I quickly got that working and erased my recovery and flashed the new recovery you recommended.
I'm currently flashing my ROM!
Thanks for everything! You guys are the best!

So, was running a sense rom through the SD card. Let my wife use the N1 for a bit.
She erased the SD card, and now I'm stuck on the X boot screen with no recovery image, no way to drop a rom image onto SD to flash. I can easily access the fastboot/hboot screen, but I have nothing to flash.
Basically, I have a working phone with no OS.
What is the best way to get the OS back on the phone?
You can take the sd card out and put a ROM file on it?
cant you flash a new recovery image from fastboot?
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot recovery

THANK YOU!
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
then flash this ROM
ADB doesn't work in bootloader. It works only when the kernel is up and running - the initial stage of OS boot.
Previous answers were correct.
Help please my phone won't go in recovery I am rooted every thing else works fine so I can'tput a Rom on or any mods aaaahhhh
Should be in Q&A

Working with flyhalfs touch (CWM) version, everything is fine.
After flashing the recovery u should fastboot erase cache.
If u got no rom on SD u should connect an OTG before booting into recovery and flash zip from external sd.

erasing the cache solved the problem. thanks helmut!
Mine still not having it it's saying tampered and unlocked any ideas
Flash this
Then flash it from cmd with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
If there are still problems, rename CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img to "recovery.img" and use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
LG, Helmut

When you flash the recovery.img, was it successful and did you wipe the cache afterward?
Are you able to enter the bootloader then select Recovery, does it try to enter recovery then reboots?

Trys to go into recovery but just restarts i can't get into recovery at all
I get the screen saying unlocked and fast boot and so on you know the one with all the coloured text but won't do anything else
Try flashing a different recovery to the one you have installed.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I seem to be having the exact same problem. Really starting to annoy me, I need to root my phone already haha!
Did you end up getting it to work?
Cheers!
same problem here....tried alle the recommended recoveries, but none worked for me.
When i flashed recovery it says all succeded, then i try to get into recovery, but it still reboots, htc logo appears, than for about 4-5 seconds the screen stays black and then there comes the t-mobile carrier logo and boot sound :/

according to the TWRP thread, it doesn't seem to be supported yet
I've got the same problem with the non working recovery. I now tried the CWM Touch AND Classic Recovery v6.0.3.0.
I tried to flash them with the All in One Tool by Hasoon 2000 and also manually with CMD commands (fastboot flash recovery & afterwards fastboot erase cache). It always said flash successful, but it's not able to boot into recovery.
I've got a Swiss HTC One Branded by Swisscom (which seems to use a vodafone CID: VODAP110).
My Build Number is 1.28.161.7 CL162357 release-keys
may that cause the problem?
I somehow got it to work. I didn't make any changes (that I can remember) but I tried it the next day again, booting into recovery with the HTC One (M7) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0, and it just worked!
Hopefully you guys can get it to work somehow too!
HA! I finally got it.
Just don't try to flash recovery as recovery, flash it as a boot img. CWM touch and TWRP was NOT working for me, but normal CWM does.
But it seems to be some issues with ADB, so please wait until i got my Guide ready

just to be sure:
you used "fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-m7.img" and it worked?
I don't want to mess up my phone, because I can't backup my current boot.img...
Ok so I tried to flash a new rom and image onto my phone and well unfortunately now I can't enter recovery or do anything really. I still have access to the bootloader but nothing else. I have tried to factory reset my phone and that didn't work. The rom I was coming from was the latest viper one with Clockwork Recovery and I was going to the latest android revolution with twrp. I really have no idea what else I can do. Please help. Oh yeah I should mention my computer is not playing well with adb currently
Reflash recovery via fastboot --> fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Enter recovery.
Flash the ROM

It's not bricked you just have to reflash the recovery.
Go into the bootloader on your phone, then fastboot, and plug into your pc.
Download the last recovery TWRP. Open a command on the sdk fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
Where "recovery.img" stands for the name of the recovery downloaded.
Hello...
Today i decided to flash new rom.
Unfortunally, i did something stupid and forgot to copy the rom to sd card before flashing CM11s boot img.
So, i am stuck with fastboot, bootloader and CWM recovery. I cant boot to OS - since it has been wiped after i flashed boot.img.
My question is, how can i copy the rom.zip from fastboot or recovery...
Please help.
Best regards, XTac.
Ah, and my situation for now:
Bootloader unlocked
Fastboot drivers set up and running
Recovery running
ADB dosent work (no android)

Put a microSD card in a card reader connected to a PC, copy CM11 there and then reinsert into your phone. Use the recovery to flash the ROM.
Or install a ROM using flashtool (flashmode or fastboot mode).
Or install a recovery that support adb or let you mount the sdcard and connect it to PC with USB (i don't know if exist one of this xD but you can search one).
Good luck

Well, thanks to the fact that i didnt had any sd card, i couldnt simply copy the rom zip there.
So i flashed a stock ROM and bootloader, and i started all the way from beggining. (looked up some tutorials) Now everything works.
Thanks, the problem is solved now.
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hii
I just have been reading about this bootloop
Go over here and read all of the 6 pages..will not take much time but could help you out much
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/official-twrp-3-2-1-0-xiaomi-redmi-4x-t3718217
Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.
I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.
