Hi, i've got a rooted xperia T, with unlocked bootloader and clockworkmod recovery installed.
The recovery was working great, but since a few days, i can't enter in recovery mode anymore... every time i try, either the phone starts normally (SONY screen, then XPERIA animation) or there is a white triangle for a few seconds, and then the phone starts normally...
I tried to reinstall it :

But when i want to flash the recovery.img, nothing happens, "waiting for device"...
How can i solve this?
Thanks !

what rom are you on?
If it is a stock based rom then flash doomkernel via fastboot
Extract the kernel.elf from the .zip, put it in fastboot folder and enter the code fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
Or just flash the kernel.elf via flashtool in fastboot mode if you are not familiar with cmd.
Then try to enter recovery again by pressing volume up.
Let us know what happens after that
Solved, thanks!
Hello dear guru's =)
I have an HTC One international. Today i try to get root access and install custom recovery, whent i flash recovery i missed that chose a boot partition to install it. Now phone boots only into recovery, and from my PC, adb or fastboot don see it, but in usb devices its present.
Im on linux Ubuntu 13.04.
In phone dont have any backup.

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

you "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"? you may want to check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478438&page=3
if that doesn't help, post back
Guys, we have to check if he can boot in bootloader/fastboot.
So, @ZloY909, if you're in recovery, adb can recognize your phone?
And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?
ZloY909 said:
Has the same problem, flashed CWM Recovery to the boot partiotion. Can you give me more info about that magic what you are done to cennect your phone to fastboot? =)
Thanks.

fastboot shouldn't be affected.
when you connect your phone to the PC, does it the text in bootloader change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB"

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?
Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

Hi,
I can't boot into recovery mode.
LED notifications light doesn't turn on at all at the beginning so I can't do prower+volume down/up thing at the beginning.
When I do
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I get normal reboot, not recovery.
So I've found at this forum suggestions to restore first version of Android 4.4.4 and so I did it. But it didn't help - still no LED at booting.
Next I've found suggestion (also at this forum) to flash through fastboot recovery image, so I downloaded this recovery mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...58xx-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-7-root-t2890231
With success I've done:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105.img
Next rebooted phone.... and still nothing.
What should I do next?

did you unlock bootloader?
I have an honor 9 lld-l21 with unlocked bootloader and i had twrp and magiskintalled but i wanted to update to the latest version so i tried updating without changing anything and i would get errors in twrp so i flashed the stock ramdisk and nothing happened then used huawei update extractor And extracted recovery_ramdis.img and it WAS written like recovery_ramdis.img and i patched recovery ramdisk in twrp with this file then rebooted the phone it boots normally and i can do whatever i want inside the phone but when i tried updating it downloaded the update powered off and then tried to get in recovery but it couldn't and booted in to the phone and said update failed i tried factory reseting my phone but same thing happenes, it shuts down tries to open recovery, it cant then boots to normal phone and says factory reset failed. I tried using adb to reboot to recovery or fastboot but it cant, it shuts down the phone, goes to open recovery or fastboot then opens the phone normally. So i cant patch the phone with any stock firmware or anything like that because i cant load into fastboot. I tried using hisuite and using the system recovery option there and it tells me theres nothing wrong with my phone. Its like i deleted fastboot and recovery from my phone.
Note : i am not in a bootloop i can enter the phone fine and do whatever inside infact im posting this with my phone i just cant enter fastboot or recovery or erecovery or anyhting.
Please help. :crying:
How are you trying to enter recovery?
How are you trying to enter fastboot?
Other that ADB obviously.

i tried entering using the buttons (closing the phone and holding down power and vol up) and it used to work before and it would open recovery but it doesnt work anymore
OK you have knackered your recovery, you still haven't told me how you try to enter fastboot.
Try this to enter fastboot, from phone off while holding Vol Down connect to PC with USB lead.
Should enter fastboot where you can then flash a new recovery partition.

Hi All, I need fastboot!
Perhaps someone can help with my brick? I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and had lineageOS 18.1 installed once. The screen was dim so I tried to flash DotOS. And got a "failed to mount /tmp/com.android.resolv.apex to loop device /dev/block/loop16" error so I tried to reinstall stock 57 ROM.
I did "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" with the decrypted boot.img hoping to get colourOS recovery.
The phone is now bootlooping trying to get into recovery mode. It won't power off or respond to button presses except vol up + vol down seems to delay the reboot on a blank screen.
I was hoping to get to fastboot mode to flash TWRP. Can anyone help? Should I surrender and accept the bricking?
you can get back to stock by install the stock rom, vendor, and kernel with adb drivers and commands.
or
if your mobile is MIUI you can just use the software to revert back to stock rom remember it re-locks the bootloader and again you need to unlock
The phone is currently boot looping.
I can't even turn it off.
It displays RealME/Android logo, then small "> RECOVERY MODE" text at bottom, then "Orange State" text. Repeat..
It has no response to a usb cable - no usb messages in dmesg. So it is not detected by adb or fastboot.
When the battery finally goes flat, my only hope is that I can get fastboot to flash TWRP into the recovery partition. I am not confident of this :-(
