Hi folks,
I have a problem. I tried to flash SinlessRom GE Kitkat 5.1. It flashed allright, but then I got in a boot loop. It boots, but when the set up starts, and I see the screen where to choose the language, then device boots again (and it becomes a bootloop).
I interrupted the boot loop using Vol-down and power, but my recovery wasn't working. When I chose recovery, it didn't entered recovery but booted again.
Then I tried to flash a new recovery, but now I doesn't enter a new bootloop, but get's stuck at the white HTC Screen with in pink "entering recovery..."
I tried to erase cache in fastboot modus, but it didn't help.
Do you guys can help me? Any suggestions?

try erasing the userdata using fastboot. I has a similar problem earlier this week and I remember using that command. Sometime when I enter recovery it just goes to normal boot (randomly), not sure if thats your problem but try entering recovery multiple times. If not...

1- are you s-on or s-off, 4.4 is not compatible (at least for now) with S-On devices!
2- you need to "fastboot erase cache" after flashing recovery; personally i do it before and after, but the important part is after
3- why are you recommending "fastboot erase userdata", just wondering.

+1, s-off is required. I only recommend erasing userdata because I had a very similar issue, erasing userdata and a fresh recovery seemed to do the trick after no luck with simply flashing a new recovery and wiping cache Just going off past experience.

Thanks all for the response.
This did the trick:
erase cache
flash twrp recovery (first I tried cwm)
erase cache
Then I managed to enter twrp recovery and flash a new rom.
Don't know why, but I'm happy again
Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to install TWRP recovery via CMD but I'm having problems. As of now, I've done the following:
Downloaded TWRP 2.5.0.0
Placed the file in the same folder used to unlock the phone that also contains fastboot
With the phone connected, i run the following command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
In the prompt window, I received the following results "< waiting for device >" but i don't see anything progress thereafter on the phone or prompt window
I tried to reboot into recovery and now receive a red exclamation point within a triangle that's over a phone. See attached photo.
Thereafter, I have to force restart
Does anyone have any advice?
UPDATE
I was finally able to write the recovery on the phone. However, now when I try to boot into recovery, it fails to load recovery and boots as a normal restart.
UPDATE
I tried to reflash TWRP again. Following the reflash, I also deleted the cache using the following command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
I then reboot the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This time around, after making an attempt to boot into recovery, I would get the message "Entering Recovery...". However, after a few seconds, the phone would turn off.
Thereafter, I tried to flash the OEM recovery using the steps above and I'm still have the same problem. Is my recovery partition corrupt?
I read that it helps to erase the recovery partition prior to flashing over an existing recovery. I tired the command
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
But I receive the following results
Code:
c:\Android>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.001s
If erasing the recovery partition is good practice, how do I go about doing it?
I'm having the same problem.
I can successfully flash the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery ROM, but when I try to load into the recovery to flash a custom ROM, I see a flash of purple text on white background, then the screen goes black and boots normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok... I had some issues when installing recovery so this is what I did...
Be advised that next steps are highly risky and that it might have worked for me but I take no responsibility if you break your device
After following almost all the instructions, I read that someone flashed the recovery to the boot partition. So I did that.
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Now, after this, the device went to a constant bootloop and suddenly the recovery appeared.
Also, I erased the cache from fastboot with next command:
fastboot erase cache
I'm planning to post the procedure I've followed but I don't have much time lately.
Will try to do it as soon as possible.
Best regards.

I rebooted and went into Fastboot. Ran "fastboot erase cache". Then re-flashed the recovery image. Then ran the command "fastboot erase cache" again. Then restarted the bootloader, then went into the recovery and it worked.

Do you have the Sprint version? I have Sprint and I was running into the same issue. After searching everywhere for this issue, I came across this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40828046&postcount=240

I flashed this recovery img and it finally worked after all the other ones failed in the same way you described.
Hope it works for you!
So earlier I was flashing TrickDroid, and Aroma froze and crashed the phone while it was installing... CWM showed a screen that said root may have been lost, and offered to fix root. I touched it, and this got the phone stuck in a continual boot loop. I've managed to get into the bootloader, but this is after clearing the cache with the terminal command "fastboot clear cache", and I have to type "fastboot reboot bootloader" when the phone boots up (at the HTC logo) in order to even get into the boot loader... otherwise, the phone will try to enter recovery (to no avail). I really hope I did not brick the phone... any help would be great. Can I fastboot a stock image?

Reboot into fastboot and try to fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash recovery again. If you can get into recovery, just try to reflash your ROM or do a NAND restore. Otherwise, use the All-in-One toolkit to help you adb sideload a ROM(this will bypass Aroma's epic failure rate, too, btw).

Great, worked like a charm. I flashed a different version of CWM this time, that might have been the problem? Oh well. Thanks!

Hey All.. my nexus 6 is stuck in a boot loop. I tried up dating to 5.0.1 and now it's boot looped. Anyone have any suggestions?

To get to recovery hold the power button until it shuts off then press volume down and power at the same time to boot into bootloader. Then use the volume buttons to choose recovery mode and press power.

Hi! Same problem here. Happened when tried to update to 5.0.1 using this guide:

fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img (I used a decrypted boot.img for 5.0.1)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

I didn't get any error during the installation. I only did step 1 and 2, and when rebooted before step 3, I got the boot loop.
Recovery mode doesn't work, it shows a "dead" android with a red exclamation sign. I can still go to bootloader mode.
Can you please help me?
Solved it flashing "cache.img".
Hope it helps anyone.

Why are you rebooting it twice while flashing? I've never rebooted it until it was done and I haven't had any issues. Maybe I'm just used to flashing older Nexus devices.

Not sure what im doing wrong. my nexus was rooted for 2 to 3 weeks on android 5.1 . restarted today to only find myself stuck in a bootloop [ red green yellow blue ] nexus symbol continuously going, i booted into twrp and tried to restore my nexus to a backup i made after i rooted , but still stuck in bootloop , tried 1 more time to use my backup , but still in a bootloop , then tried to factory reset using twrp , and was still stuck in a bootloop , any tips would be awesome , thanks
EDIT: Think what put me in bootloop was making it where i need a password everytime i restart. just did it and seems some are having same problems .
EDIT 2: Well i got out of bootloop . appears i have also lost root . not sure what i did . after using twrp to install backups, format data , it finally restarted . im pretty positive the problem was caused by setting a restart passcode ! watch out guys ,

PS, I'm very noon at this still. Been flashing since having my n4 but never got into this kinda trouble before. When things have gone wrong in the past I've always managed to go back into twrp & flash nandroid backup...... Scared stiff now
I am trying to back out everything I've done to the phone and start fresh with 5.1. I had rooted, decrypted, and installed TWRP. To undo this, I did a factory reset, downloaded the shamu-lrx22c factory image from google, and used adb/fastboot to put it all back the way I found it. These are the commands I used :
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.05.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.55.04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
It appeared to all work. Now when I try to get back into recovery, the phone sits at the android with the red triangle and !. The bootloader logs state "Mismatched partition size (recovery)."
Did I do a bad thing somewhere along the way? Thanks in advance.
Try flashing the recovery again. I think if I was you I would also fastboot -w to format the userdata and cache since you already did a factory reset or use google's images by using "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img", "fastboot erase cache" and then "fastboot flash cache cache.img".
Also, check the md5 of the image you downloaded to make sure it was not corrupt.

I used fastboot -w to format the userdata/cache. And I also tried the three fastboot commands you listed. They all seem to work, but the reflashing of the recovery still throws the same error.
MD5 checksum of the whole zip is the same. I re-extracted the recovery.img file just to be sure and it still throws the same error.

Thats normal though isn't it? With Stock recovery you have to press Volume up and power to get into the recovery menu from that screen

Sadly, that doesn't do anything. Pressed repeatedly, held down for a while, nothing. up until the point where it reboots from the power button being held long enough.

I have the same problem here but maybe i have found a solution for it:
what i did was i left the 5.1 bootloader.img and took all the other stuff from a 5.0 factory image such as: radio.img, system.img..... fastbooted everything and i was with a 5.0 LP stock out of the box, then i have rooted it, installed twrp with f2fs support and voila i'm now good to go
hope this will help you out

When you see the android with the red triangle and !, you need to hold the power button, and while you are holding it down, press volume up. Pushing them both together, or one after the other, or holding them down together or whatever else won't work.
