[Q] Can't boot into recovery - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i was trying to use Rom manager with my rogers htc dream with the new universal root stuff and while using the rom manager the part where it said it will boot into recovery mode to flash it just stayed at the Rogers screen any ideas ?

Can you get into the recovery by holding home while you power on? Or Fastboot by holding camera?

Just boot up the rom normally then go to rom manager
Settings > check erase recovery when flashing a new one.
Then flash it again.
If that doesn't work ADB will do the trick:
Go into fastboot USB
from your computer type:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Load up the rom normally again and then try reflashing the clockwork recovery again.
If all else fails
download amon-ra recovery
Fastboot usb
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery (location in with the recovery is stored desktop downloads etc)
If you're using windows you can just drag the recovery over into command promt and it should automatically list the file for you.

i cant get fastboot working now. damn its not my day. when i hit fastboot devices nothing pops up
Try from your computer: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
recovery.img = your Amon Ra recovery file and it could be in under another name so rename it to recovery.img

Can't get into TWRP recovery from bootloader

so after following the instrucions down below, I can't access TWRP recovery. Everytime I go to the recovery from bootloader, it will restart the phone automatically. I made a backup before doing this, but now i can't even get into recovery mode from boot loader
Installing recovery using fastboot
You can use fastboot to install your recovery image to the device.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the One (Sprint)
Download koush's ClockworkMod Recovery.
koush's ClockworkMod Recovery: download
md5: 8e1001f45ad07d4cda03b813739f85c1
Connect the One (Sprint) to the computer via USB.
Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the downloaded image in the same directory as fastboot.
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader or by using the hardware key combination.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device by entering the following command: fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img where the latter part is the name of the file you downloaded.
Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation.
Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.

[Q] Stuck on Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery

Hi,
I'm in desperate need of some help and am not sure what to do. My HTC One m7 got stuck in Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery after the latest update. It will keep rebooting back into Simple Recovery. Is there any way to get my phone back either to stock or to Cyanogenmod?
I always just left it on Cyanogenmod so I'm not very familiar with flashing or other programs. If anyone has any advice, could you please point me to the correct tutorials and downloads?
I am at a complete loss with how to get my phone to its original state.

Thank you for the response, however my biggest issue is getting out of simple recovery. How do I install a new recovery, such as TWRP or CWM at the simple recovery screen and how do I flash the latest cyanogenmod rom?

You will have to flash CWM recovery in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB. You can get the recovery from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager find your phone then download the recovery.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash CWM recovery (either rename the file CWM.img or type the whole name in place of CWM):
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Thank you for replying.
So from what I'm understanding is that I will need to use ADB to sideload the recovery onto my phone, correct?
I'm not sure what the bootloader/FASTBOOT USB you refer to, I feel like I need it to be ELI5. My brain is melting when trying to read this.
P.S. I am STUCK in Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery. I am not able to power down the device or get to any other screen.

No, you can not load the recovery with sideload. Have ADB & Fastboot installed on your computer, place the recovery file in the same folder and connect your phone to the computer.
Open a command window in the folder where ADB & fastboot reside.
Type: adb reboot bootloader
When the screen on your phone shows the white bootloader screen in blue will be FASTBOOT USB
Type one line at a time waiting until the cmd screen states OK or something similiar:
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Here is a guide on fastboot commands.

So I was able to get my device past the first prompt. I now see the white bootloader screen and it does say "FASTBOOT USB". I downloaded the latest TWRP and placed it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot. I did the second command to flash it, however I keep getting the error "error: cannot open 'TWRP.img'. Any idea as to what I could be doing wrong?

Got it to work. Used adb to get into fastboot. Then opened up the CM installer and let it redownload cyanogenmod onto my phone.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Partition Problem

While I flashed 1.2GB.zip to expand my partition size, I got some issue to reset my phone. now, my recovery is xiaomi stock recovery and when i go into fastboot mode, my pc can't detect my phone by adb function. I test variety of version and pc, still not work. Can someone help me to write a stock partition that can fastboot with MITool? Many thanks, my phone only can detect with MiTool in this moment. Sorry for interruption.
First flash cwm or twrp recovery with fastboot .flash stok repartition zip in cwm then flash with miflash.
Sometimes adb not work due to bad driver reinstall drivers for adb.

I was in the same situation. Mi recovery without adb and
and fastboot only. I'm on the phone and can't post links but if you go to the repartitioning thread and find my posts(there are not many)read it through and you will find a link to "how to fastboot" thread. If your computer recognizes your phone in fastboot mode than you'll be fine. Download from the same thread repartitioning to stock from the HTC mania guy if you want to flash miui with miflash. Otherwise it won't work. Good luck.

i think adb will not work in this case because mi recovery dont support adb so boot into fastboot mode by pressing volume down + power key there will be mi bunny and fastboot mode .
u will need recovery in img format so extract recovery.img file from cwm r11 zip file and put it in adb or fastboot folder . then
open command prompt in adb folder and type.
fastboot devices
if it show device id then type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
try to boot it into recovery mode by using key combination ( vol up+ power buttuon) and it should boot in clockwork mode recovery.
and flash reparition zip to return to stok partition
repartition stok zip by eaxir http://forum.xda-developers.com/xia...ize-extend-partition-capacity-t3011918/page17
if u dont have repartition zip then use adb side load method to send file to device and flash it or ask me again.
now you can use miflash.

Flash file boot.img of ROM you use in cmd. Vd: use rom chinav2.35.zip -> unzip file rom and copy file boot.img to folder of adb -> open cmd on folder adb and type cmd:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Reboot
