Hey guys, I need some major help!
I was trying to update my phone earlier today, when I flashed Android Revolution HD 40.3 something very bad happened!
For some reason the ROM did not install properly, and I can't get back into recovery. I was using TWRP and the loading screen comes up for it, but it never fully launches.
I can get into the bootloader, and I tried using the Toolkit under fastboot. It seems like my phone is detected, but when I try and flash anything it doesnt work. Ive flashed both TWRP and clockword. They seem to flash because it will show the loading screen of either one, but it never actually enters the recovery. What should I do?
My phone is S-ON, I am not sure if that is what caused the problem/is what is keeping this an issue.
Thanks for your help

Does the phone just reboot before it enters recovery? I would try manually flashing a custom recovery image. Here is a link to the exact image I used.

It's very straightforward once you have fast boot setup. Don't worry I've been in your situation myself!

Was your phone S-ON?? It seems that there are fixes when it is S-OFF, but not S-ON

My phone was S-ON at the time, I recently gained S-OFF. You should still be able to flash a new recovery with S-ON. S-OFF is usually only needed for flashing new radios or firmwares.

How did you flash the recovery? Like I've said, I tried flashing a new recovery via the Toolkit. They do seem to flash, but I cant access the recovery. I'm not sure if my bootloader was relocked or what, but it doesn't go past the intro screen for TWRP or Clockwork

It could be possible that the toolkit is installing an incorrect version maybe? Switch off your phone. Once off hold vol - and power the phone on. This should load up HBOOT and tell you the boot loader status.
This is how I flashed recovery. I entered fastboot and used the commands from that link to flash a new recovery image. Have you used fastboot commands before?

To be honest, I'm pretty new to the fastboot commands. I usually follow guides to root, and flashing ROMs is pretty straightforward.

If you have fastboot setup and working, just boot the phone into fastboot mode and use the commands in that link I gave you.
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Then simply highlight "recovery", tap the power button and the phone should load up clockwordmod recovery.
Easy

It doesn't make you sound incompetent at all! Yes its just the bundle, then the drivers should be installed with that too. If you're not 100% sure there are plenty of guides online on how to setup fastboot.

I've got a nexus one with a broken power button and a corrupt OS. It rarely successfully manages to boot. Since this is the case, I'm not able to turn on USB debugging to follow some of the tutorials here..
My next try was fastboot.. I downloaded these two files:
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
update-cm-7.1.0-N1-signed.zip
But it seems like I wont be able to flash a recovery file if I have "s-on" displayed on my hboot or fastboot screen..
How do I gain "s-off"? And is it possible to flash a stock rom via fastboot?
And yes, my phone's got stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.
HBOOT 0.35.0017
MICROP 0b15
Touch panel SYNT0103
Radio 5.08.00.04
Please help me with this matter as I have been trying to accomplish this task for over three months now..
Read Nexus One wiki, section "root", and section "recovery".
You don't need S-OFF to flash anything, if you unlock your bootloader. This is Nexus.
Boot into fastboot, plug into your PC, open command prompt wherever you have the fastboot command in Windows, most likely in android sdk under platform-tools, run "fastboot oem unlock" from command prompt, your bootloader is now unlocked. Attempt to flash your recovery now."

It's already unlocked, as there is a small open lock displayed at the bottom of the boot screen.. and fastboot displayed it as already unlocked as well.. still.. i need a way to go to recovery without the power button
If you're in the bootloader - "fastboot reboot recovery".
If you're in the OS or while the OS is booting and ADB daemon is already running - "adb reboot recovery".

fastboot reboot recovery doesnt seem to boot the phone to recovery..
should the OS be completely booted up if I want to use the adb command? because it displays the error "error: device not found" when I try to "adb reboot recovery"
Might this be a problem with my computer? I checked and confirmed that the drivers for the phone are successfully installed...

I've attached an image showing proof that I've tried your method but still kept on failing to reboot to recovery..
When i try the command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img", the phone simply restarts and goes back to the 'X' boot screen and gets stuck there.
Could anyone please find me an genuine unedited gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM so I can PASSIMG it? ... I've downloaded several rooted ones.. but all seem to need the "android-info" file
fastboot reboot recovery
No "reboot-recovery".
And if you still get stuck on "X" when you reboot to recovery - it means that your recovery is corrupted/unusable too, and you need to PASSIMG everything.
Generally, booting the recovery through "fastboot boot" should have done enough - if your phone can't boot, it might probably be a HW problem preventing it from booting, and in that case - nothing will help.

Yes, you're right. Fastboot can't reboot to recovery, only adb.
Oh well, in that case you're out of luck. You can't PASSIMG without power button, so if "fastboot boot some_boot_image" doesn't help - there's not much left to do.
You could always disassemble the phone and fix the power button...

So basically I was following a youtube video I was linked to by a guide on here on how to root my One. and everything was going smoothly and then i got to the stage where i was to boot into recovery mode so i could load into twrp. But what happens on my phone now is the loading screen for recovery mode where it says for developers only ect. will just hang there for a while then the phone will shut off and boot back into regular mode. could use some help. I wouldn't mind resetting and starting fresh if that's what's needed im just not sure how to. thank you guys!

do you have sdk tools installed on your computer.
make sure usb debugging is on, apperently you do.
did you put the recovery image in the folder where fastboot is then run cmd(as administrator) and cd to that folder(example/:cd c:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools or where ever you have it)then adb reboot bootloader>enter----Then fastboot flash recovery(name of recovery image).img>enter--- then type fastboot reboot recovery

I had unlocked HTC One with Sense, which I had done 4.3 RUU install to convert it to GPe. Fast forward to now... I thought I'd sideload the 4.4 update, and during that process I got
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
installation aborted
I thought, great. No problem, I'll just do the traditional RUU again, I'll be fine.
BUT...
Now I can't boot into old OS. The phone keeps rebooting to the recovery. I tried to wipe-data from recovery, which didn't help. I also tried factory reset from HBOOT, and that didn't do anything either.
I am able to get into HBOOT and Stock recovery, so I know the phone is not bricked. I guess, I never had to deal with this situation before so I'm not sure how to get out of this loop. Is there a way I can get my phone to recognize on my computer, so that I can do the ADB / Fastboot commands?
Help!
PS: It might help to know what my device situation is atm. I have Unlocked bootloader with HBOOT 1.54, S-OFF
Have you tried to run the 4.3 or 4.4 RUU file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 ?

To do that, my phone would have to be recognized by the pc first, right? If I plug in via USB, and run adb devices I don't get any devices listed.
At what point should my phone be recognized by my laptop? The phone never goes to the main OS, so is there some way to get it to be recognized on my laptop USB while in HBOOT or Recovery? I have the stock recovery. The top of the recovery screen say s"Android system recovery <3e>"
I'm following along in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544199 thread for now. A few things are similar. If I see anything different, I'll comment here again to see if anyone can help.
As you are S-Off, you can put the phone in fastboot mode, connect to computer and run the fastboot flash ruu twice.. either 4.3 or 4.4 RUU.
Update your covery twrp to v2.6.3.3 I updated after the looping problem and it worked, it installed with out the boot loops
Fastboot Flash the 4.3 boot.img
Then
Fastboot erase cache
Boot recovery
Wipe data
Flash 4.3 rom

I got as far as flashing the RUU. I ran fastboot oem rebootRUU and then fastboot flash zip RUU-<more-stuff>.zip. The progress on my console shows the process completed successfully, but the phone is stuck at almost 99% on the progress bar. I'll wait for a while and see if it finishes. How long would be too long to wait?

Thanks for the help, but I guess I don't have to do this now. I'll keep this in mind in case I'm stuck again.

Haah! I should've followed through the complete instructions... I ended up giving the fastboot reboot and it started the boot. I couldn't reply sooner due to new-member 5-minute restriction.
Learned something good, something new today. And the phone WORKS! Thanks for your help.
Great news. Hit the thanks button if you dont mind! and keep the S-Off. that is your savior!
Cheers.

If you can boot to TWRP recovery, then you can ADB push a ROM to recovery and boot it.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the fact that TWRP had been deleted too.

No, if you can boot to TWRP, as @rootSU said, you can move a ROM to internal and get up and running. Then you can go about unlocking.

Power off the device. Once completely shut down, hold power and volume down until bootloader screen appears. Then use the volume keys to select recovery. Then push power to select.
from your original post, it says your not running twrp anymore. have you tried just letting the phone try to boot up? have you tried reflashing twrp to your phone via fastboot. id try, and if its successful, id push a rom to my phone then. if not, try flashing a factory img.

Or, if you are still in fastboot, issue this command > fastboot reboot recovery

as i said before, when twrp has been deleted, the Recovery mode is useless : when i hit it, it instantly return to bootloader screen

Then I'm afraid you may be stuck. A RMA may be in your future if no one else can offer a solution.

flashing twrp..
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
and flashing a factory img is done while the phone is in its bootloader. there are instruction how here on xda. but to be honest, i dont know if that will work. where did you buy your n6 from btw?
Hey guys.
Yesterday, something weird happend.
I wanted to flash an update (kernel) so I powered off my phone and started it as usual to get into recovery. But the only thing it does, was to start up into fastboot mode.
I'm being able to boot the ROM with
"fastboot continue" when connected to th PC.
First, I thought the recovery was broken so I reflashed it. Nothing happend. Only fastboot mode.
Then reflashed magisk, in the hope it will solve my issue. Nothing.
So what could it be? A broken boot.img? How could it be fixed? Still annoying
Hi,
Are you able to boot into recovery using fastboot boot recovery.img?

yes. that did it. After that, I was being able to power on as usual but not being able to start recovery. not via TRWP or via Vol+Up + Power or even Advanced Reboot -> Recovery.
So, could a reinstallation of the ROM solve the issue?

Ugh... Sorry I'm a but confused
So you flashed the recovery, booted into recovery via fastboot, and you could move around in the TWRP. Is my understanding correct?
Well if you don't have any data, nothing hurts to reinstall the ROM I guess

I'm only able to boot into recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img as you mentioned (I guess it's loaded directly from my HD to the phone but doesn't stay there ). Booting into recovery via Vol-Up+Power doesn't work anymore...

Weird. Haven't encountered this in rn10pro. But something similar happened on my previous phone I remember and that time flashing recovery, booting into it, then restarting to recover had worked. You can give it a shot.
If not wait for a better answer or flash the ROM

I already did that but I'm not being able to start recovery (TWRP) with Vol-Up+Power. It always loads my device into fastboot mode..

maybe you should try a fastboot flash of the stock rom for your region. Be careful not to lock the bootloader again. And patient, it takes about 5 minutes...

Didn't work. Always starts in fastboot. Already tried to flash twrp via twrp but didn't helped.
So I tried to flash my ROM again and that did the trick .
Phone boots normally and I'm able to boot into recovery via advanced restart and Vol-Up+Power.
Thank you guys, for trying to solve the issue.
Man did u find the solution? @Lycox
