[Q] S7 won't boot into recovery

I have a S7 that is an X rev and it only has one camera on it and it has a different ID than the current streak 7s, so I can't apply the update that tmobile put out.
So I rooted the S7 and ran ROM MANAGER and it insists that the clockworkmod is installed correctly, but I can't reboot into recovery from that program (I don't think it works on s7 anyway) nor can I do it with the volume+ and power. (All that does is to boot into android)
The fastboot seems to work fine, so is there a way that I can push one of the .ZIP file ROMs using fastboot? I was thinking the "Dell Streak 2.2.2 update with FULL ROOT" would be a good one to try, but there are many .img files in the zip file and when I try fastboot update, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I know that the following lines will work, but there isn't a system.img in the .zip file.
$fastboot flash boot boot.img
$fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$fastboot flash system system.img
Thanks
Maj

You cant use regular fastboot commands its something like "fastboot -l 0413e blah blah search my threads for "how to flash stock img. " at the bottom of first post you will see fastboot help link

Hey thatruth I've never used fastboot -iowhatever. All my fastboot cmds are fastboot (cmd) (dir) (file). Op so when holding +volume and power it doesn't put you in the bootloader? Your device may not work with cwr. Being a X device. And op are you using ubuntu/linux?
Sent from a signal

to get into cwr you have to hold vol and power. Then at the android menu select option 2 update.pkg. it will then boot into recovery
you can also reboot into recovery via adb
adb reboot recovery

I have not found a way to get into recovery. Using adb, fastboot, reboot into recovery options, and attempting vol+ and power, just boots straight into android. It says "cold-booting linux" and boots into android. It seems as if there isn't a real partition to do that, so I somehow need to dump an image onto the s7 so that it will have all of these partitions.
I have a Droid Incredible in which I've hacked to death, so I know how to get into the other menus, they just don't appear to be there or accessible for some reason.

Yah, the +volume and power just boots the phone right into android. ROM Manager tells me that my rooted s7 installs cwr just fine. (in fact I've tried every different version it offers) I use w7 x64.

Assuming that's the same cwm that I got in the streaksmart forum, yah. I flashed that using fastboot as the recovery and then issued the reboot into recovery command and it just booted up android.
At this point, I am assuming the build/version I have isn't a standard build and I will have to do something outside the normal channels to get it to work. I might just chuck this and get another. Especially since I heard that there will be a compatible version of honeycomb for devices with less than stellar resolutions like the s7.

I think the key here is to unplug usb from computer and hold down the power and Vol+ button to reboot into recovery mode.
I struggled with this for probably half a day figuring that out.

thx for your help and I finally figured out the fastboot and then recovery.img. So then I rebooted and seleted the software upgrade via update and it been stuck on that selection for awhile. is that normal?

by the way upper left hand it has in white lettering Booting recovery kernel image.

It should say Booting recovery kernel image and then take you straight into clock work recovery...

Mines doing the same thing just getting stuck when it says Booting recovery kernel image and the dell logo apears then when i press the power button it turns off if i boot the device up not plugged into my computer and hold the power and volume+ it will flash red the LED and turn off.

Resolved Yet???
I'm having the same issue... CWM says it's working fine but when I try to load ROM it reboots normally back into the menu... Red lights blinking and does nothing when trying to get into recovery mode. Fastboot is only thing that seems to work and that even doesn't work properly...
I'm stuck with a ROM that is constantly crashing. Every 10 min or so, it needs to go. Please anyone that may have a method I could try would be appricitated...

It's nothing to worry about, its a boot.img issue. I will get the original 2.1 boot.mbn from the kdz, convert it to img then you can just flash it in fastboot.

Here you go:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5183281/2.1_v20b_boot.img
Just flash it in fastboot.
If you wonder how I converted mbn -> boot.img, search 4pda for mur4ik's mbn2boot tool.

i cant get into fastboot

just wondering if this problem doesnt get sorted, and if i take it back to carphone warehouse tommorow and tell them that i was updating to 2.1 through LG mobile tool software will they fix it for me or give me another one

Say that LG PC Suite prompted you for an update, but crashed half way through updating, they will most likely change the internals or send off to LG to fix it.

Sounds plausable, go for it. I wouldn't imagine them saying 'no', they know full well how crappy the normal updater is. Good luck.

I think I will take it back but aren't there any solutions for this problem.

If you are going to return it, I suggest fully bricking it. That way you will probably get a new motherboard, and solve your old 'bad block boot' problem. Just start a KDZ flash and remove the usb cable around a quarter of the way through. They will surely accept it, well, they did with mine anyway.
Good luck.

Is it solved? How bout go to download mode and flash flashboot kdz via kdz updater.
I fix my (2nd) Linux Kernel Panic this way.

Had the Same prob (FIXED)
Download a Fastboot KDZ. Here:
Put your phone into Download Mode (Volume Down + Power)
Run KDZ Updater
Once Flashed boot into fastboot (Camera+Power)
Open CMD and Direct to where ADB and fastboot are (cd C:\android\adb)
type
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Tips: If you cannot connect Use the Back Ports of the PC not the Front ones.

trying flashing the boot.img through adb
adb push boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
adb shell erase_image boot
adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

Bricked?

My current situation:
Recovery does not work, when I try to enter it it gets frozen on the Google screen with the lock at the bottom.
When I try to go into the phone normally I receive an infinite error "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped".
My device is not being recognized as an ADB device so i cannot reinstall recovery (possibly USB debugging is disabled and cannot get to it).
How I got here, Used the Nexus RootToolkit v1.5 to unlock the bootloader/root the phone which worked fine except recovery was not working and the play market was gone for some reason. Did a variety of things to get it back with no avail and eventually got frustrated and tried a factory reset. Now I am in this perdicament :crying:
I came from a Samsung Galaxy and Odin was the universal tool to get the phone back even if it could not enter recovery or the phone, Is there anything like that that can fix the phone without entering recovery or the phone itself?

If you can get the device to recognize in fastboot you can flash the factory image for nakasi from here

How do you flash without entering recovery though?

Can you enter the bootloader? While the tablet is off, hold both volume buttons and the power button, and let go of only power after you see the Google logo. You should enter the bootloader. Download and decompress the factory image from the aforementioned link and open the flash-all file in Notepad to see the required fastboot commands. Use the corresponding command to flash the stock recovery back to your Nexus 7 and see if that fixes your issue. If your computer isn't recognizing your Nexus, install the Universal Naked Driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220. Good luck!

You need to have the Android SDK installed, open a command prompt, and cd to its directory and the tools folder. In there is the fastboot binary that allows you to run fastboot commands. For ease of execution, you can just install the SDK on the root of your C: drive or just copy the tools folder to wherever it was installed by default (/Program Files/Android/).

I was trying to flash one of the kitkat based new roms i found on this site through the app and it didn't seem to work as i recieved the message saying installation aborted, then my phone buzzed and flashed and restarted but it's stuck on the htc quietly brilliant screen and i cannot get to recovery at all. when i try i see the lights at the bottom menu buttons just flashing.
I did a backup before the install but can't get into recovery now. i've found a proper nandroid backup but my phone wont turn off,restart or go into recovery now, so pissed. please help asap
p.s. the rom i can't even remember the name of it but it said it was one for all versions of htc one.
mine is the canadian version on rogers if it matters.
.and it looks like my computer isn't recognizing it now either

What I'm gonna say is ridiculous! BUT IF YOU DIDN'T **** UP YOUR BOOTLOADER you should be able to boot into the bootloader by performing these steps:
First: Press the power and volume up/down button for about two minutes... your phone should respond with vibrate/flashing...
Secondly: Hold your phone under a bright light and press the powerbutton for a minute or so... then try different combinations with the hardwarebutton until it boots into the bootloader.
From bootloader you can perform the following steps to get a OS working on your phone:
This is a quote by me, someone had almost the same problem like you:
Okay, first here you have the correct adb and fastboot files, I uploaded them quickliy for you, I think this way they should work properly:
http://uploaded.net/file/ykwya517
Next thing are these HTC Drivers, in this post are a few of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2089508 and on my computer there are the 4.3.0.001 drivers, so I'd recommand downloading those(Credits go to @mdmower):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n5...+4.3.0.001.exe
Now shut down your phone and boot in into the bootloader with pressing the power button and the volume down button. Then select fastboot and enter this menu. Now if the drivers are installed correctly there should be written FASTBOOT USB. I think you said you are unlocked... so the following command should run just fine. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot are placed. In this folder you copy your custom recovery(TWRP) and you flash it with this command:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname].img
And DON'T worry about adb in the bootloader! ADB doesn't work with the bootloader. Now you boot into your recovery by chosing Recovery somewhere in your bootloader. If you are in the bootloader you somehow need to push the ROM to your HTC One... This should work with this command...
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored\rom.zip" "/data/media/0/rom.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And if this doesn't copy it correctly simply place your zip on your computer to a folder that is empty and push this folder to your HTC One with:
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored" "/data/media/0"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you are good to go, simply flash the zip form TWRP. I think you know how this works Simply go to install and then chose the zip and flash it.
If you now want to s off... then ask me again. I'll give you an advice

Hey there. It's quite some time ago since I last "played around" with my HTC One M7 but I think I am still able to help you solve your problem.
Firsr a few questions:
> What OS are you using for adb? Win7/8/10?
> Do you have an USB OTG cable? (would make fixing very easy. You just copy the OS zip onto an USB stick and then plug it into your Cellphone using an OTG cable. Then flashing can be done without any problems)
If you've already solved your problem, notify my anyways

sorry i was at work but OS is windows 7 home premium
maybe i should look into the OTG cable.
i get a message saying "cannot read rom.zip" when trying to use command line to push as per the thousands of tutorials online lol.
when i plug in the phone to computer and turn phone on (which is on the HTC splash screen since no OS) then a popup on computer says installing device driver software.
Android Phone X Device Unplugged
USB Composite Device Ready to use
HTC MTP Device X Failed
USB storage devie Ready to use
My HTC Ready to use
HTC android USB Device Ready to use
my cable is really wobbly and none ive tried lately seem to want to fit in the slot snug so HTC MTP Device installed again and now says "Ready to Use also, then cycled the install again and settled on FAILED so only Android Phone has an X for device unplugged since no OS to turn on and HTC MTP has an X for Fail. this is where ill enter fastboot mode or recovery to try push/flash my copy of cm14 and gapps to the device.
i have cmd window open with rom and gapps and an updated version of twrp in adb and fastboot folder.
i entered fastboot mode and pushed recovery through then as per the tutorial i then entered recovery which flashed properly with the new version. then i went to adb sideload and all commands worked like adb kill-sever and adb usb also adb devices came with text saying list of attached devices which theyre is none.
then adb sideload rom.zip came back with:
error: device not found

[SOLVED]TWRP Keeps Flashing the TWRP Logo When ever i boot up My kindle

I recently Updated To CM12 and had alot of apps on my kindle so i decided to factory reset it but now when ever i boot up my kindle it boots straight to TWRP but never loads it just keeps flashing on the TWRP boot screen im not sure if i can connect my device to my computer i think it may be because i need the drivers not sure next time i get a hold of the kindle ill try. When i plug the kindle in i hear the windows noise that happens every time u plug something in also i have an option to eject it from my tray but i cant view the files.

Tried To FLash TWRp Again
So someone said that you could try to flash Twrp Again or something so in fastboot i typed adb flash recovery Twrp.img but it kept saying waiting for device. i tried a different command Adb Reboot and that rebooted the kindle back into recovery but it still flashes but good news that it can connect to my pc.

Edit; reboot The device again and it should boot into cm12 but once again im stuck in a boot loop and unsure of what to do the boot loop is just the cm12 logo it does not go onto the actual os
