How do I factory reset with out access to recovery?
My moto droid CWM stopped working after installing CM7 RC2.
How can I factory reset with our the recovery?
Or how can I get recovery to work again? please note I have tried everything with hotkeys, keyboard, volume ect to get into it, no go.
Could really use any information on this please anyone?
Can you boot into the bootloader (see step 5 in the post linked below)? If your recovery partition is hosed, you could reflash it via RSDLite.
Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version
EDIT: Also, did you try using ADB to reboot into recovery?

I tried the instructions posted at the Motorola site here:
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...r_detail/a_id/94936/p/30,6720,8696/reg/348778
It doesn't matter if I do the software reset from within android or the external reset, it won't work.
If I try the reset within android, it reboots and then boots normally.
If I try the external reset, I can get to the bootloader but when I choose 'factory' it reboots normally, not to recovery.
Device is rooted.
Any help?

Where did you get the stock recovery and how did you flash? I'm stuck in FC look and can't factory reset.

I got the image from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php
Booted the phone to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) and then used fastboot to flash the stock recovery:
fastboot flash system recovery.img
Then I was able to do a factory reset using the typical instructions posted in the OP
Like an idiot I wiped my System inside TWRP. Using TWRP 2.6.0.2
Earlier tonight my phone starting rebooting. I was inside GooManager and tapped reboot to recovery. When I did that, for some reason my phone lost root. Meaning when I went to reboot inside TWRP it stated that it looks as if my phone is not rooted. I rebooted anyway without installing SuperSU through TWRP. I was already rooted. Afterwards, it would boot up fine but kept constantly rebooting only after a minute or two.
I went back into TWRP and clicked through dalvik wipe and cache wipe. Still got reboots. I was planning on flashing CyanogenMod anyways so I thought I'd go on and wipe everything. I went in to advance wipe and check everything. As I swiped the slider to wipe I realized I checked System too, but it was too late.
Now my phone won't boot past the HTC logo with the red text underneath. I can boot into TWRP however so I hope all is not lost. I am currently at work so I have no way to try anything on the phone at the moment but was hoping for some advice on what to try later when I get home.
I'm thinking maybe I'll be able to use the "Mount" tab in TWRP to load a ROM on and flash and everything will be well again. Would I mistaken to think that? If not, I'll purchase an USB OTG cable and use a USB stick but I really need this up an running as quickly as possible.
Also, does anyone think it would be best just to go back to stock at this point (if I can) and start from scratch?
Much thanks for your help and advice,

So, oddly enough I did the same thing, How I managed to recover it so you can adb sideload a rom from TWRP and have access to a "working" phone again was to find your stock recovery.img, then flash it via fastboot, and then from the hboot menu, choose factory reset and let the stock recovery do it's thing, then reflash TWRP (I honestly like CWM doe) and adb sideload a rom (presumably what you were using before). It SHOULD fix your problem and you'll be able to mount files again.

By stock recovery.img you mean a stock HTC image? - or do you mean a recovery like TWRP or CWM?

Literally stock recovery.img, not TWRP or CWM.

K. Thanks. I have a feeling this is going to be a bit more complicated than I first thought...
I followed what you suggested and got the phone back up and working. Thanks again.
Boot loop
Moto x 1060 rooted on 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7.7.1 installed. I tried to restore. TWRP says restore completed but when I try to reboot into the loop I go. I can access TWRP but nothing else. I have two TWRP recoveries but neither works. My computer doesn't see the phone when connected, so I can't flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I restore with TWRP it shows successful. Then when I boot it goes into a loop. I have 2 recoveries and they both do that. MY computer does not recognize it so I cannot flash.

Your computer should recognize it in fastboot mode (NOT TWRP) - you need to be the bootloader screen (AP Fastboot Mode). Follow the guide in general "Return to 100% stock" to flash the entire SBF for your carrier. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE. Only flash the version you are currently on or higher.
Everything you need is in that thread, including the necessary drivers. If your phone isn't getting recognized it is either because you do not have the drivers installed, OR you are trying to connect when booted in to TWRP. Once again, this is wrong. You restore using your PC from the BOOTLOADER screen, NOT TWRP.
101
When I am in boot loader mode and try to connect with RSD Lite the phone is seen as "fast boot" connected but nothing I flash works. I have done this before and the phone was recognized but after installing TWRP it is not, nor can I flash anything, it says failed.
Thanks Sam. I got RED lite to work and all is well. Again, many thanks

Excellent! Glad to help. As you probably already know, you can now flash TWRP back on and re-root. Good Luck! :good:
P.S. I sent you a private message - please check your PMs.

I cannot flash or install SuperSu or TWRP. I don't really want to install TWRP because that caused the original problem. I need SuperSu but when I try to install it says "there is no SU binary installed". Phone says device is unlocked and Status code 3 and I get the bootloader unlocked warning screen. Should I reflash 4.2.2 and start over?

TWRP does not cause problems - likely your issue was un-related. You cannot install SuperSU without TWRP. You do need to flash TWRP - use the latest version from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost
After you flash it, type: fastboot reboot-bootloader and immediately boot into TWRP. Click exit and it will offer to root for you.
If you insist, you can flash stock recovery back on afterwards which will remove TWRP.
I followed all of the instructions in the Nexus 6 Guide to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery.
I was trying to sideload a rom into my phone and was doing advanced wipe in TWRP. I accidentally choose system thinking it would be fine since I am flashing a new rom anyway.
I think I force shut down the phone and now it just stays and hangs on the google logo. I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. When I try getting into TWRP recovery it just flashes for a second and then attempts to reboot.
I figure I should try flashing a rom via adb bootloader/fastboot but I attempted a few times and failed. Can someone help walk me through this?
Edit: I can access TWRP recovery now... I tried doing sideload several more times but for some reason I keep getting loading rom.zip cannot read rom.zip
Well i going to geuss you know to to get to recovery though bootloader thought your phone
But your phone is semi Bricked
You can download wugs toolkit
And i will show unroot/flash stock you will click bootloop/ bricked and go though the steps
And it will download the stock software and reovery and go though the steps you will be fine
If you want use the same toolkit and root and install twrp again
Do you use a USB otg drive? If you don't you can send a rom to twrp using some commands.
Try to redownload the ROM that won't work and put it on the phone via a USB otg drive or using your pc and don't forgot gaps.
If you're not, use the WUG toolkit to reflash the stock ROM. Then you can use that to flash your new ROM
Unless im missing somethimg, why not just flash the factory image through fastboot and start over?
Like mentioned above, or just flash TWRP in fastboot. Then boot into TWRP, and flash ROM.
Hello everyone,
I am not completely new to customizing but I've run into a problem and I have tried everything I knew to try and everything I have searched for online so far.
What I have:
Galaxy Note 5
SM-N920T
Baseband: N920TUVS5ERF2
I installed twrp to perform a full system backup in preparation for a full factory reset. The backup was successful, no problem there. I did the factory reset from twrp, now all the phone will do is reboot into the recovery menu and now it says "dm-verity error... failed code: 0x02)
I flashed it back to full stock with ODIN with the latest firmware, which said successful, but boots into recovery.
I flashed 4 of the older official firmware, boots into recovery.
I reflashed twrp and restored the backup, boots into recovery.
I flashed a custom rom, recovery.
Had twrp reload the filesystem with EXT4...
Used ADB to disable verity checks...
Used ADB to pull, push and rebuild permissions for the build.prop edited to disable verity checks...
Nothing has worked and I am out of ideas.
Hopefully, someone reading this will have the key to getting this fixed. It's a good phone, well cared for and I don't want to replace it.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. :fingers-crossed:
