[Q] Fastboot boot openrecovery hung my phone. Any hope?

I was trying to update recovery and I typed the wrong commands in fastboot.
Instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
I typed:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
When that failed because "recovery" didn't exist I still didn't notice my mistake, and went with:
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 10240 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.232s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.240s
Since then my phone pretty much stopped working. The screen is on, but is hung - the power buttons and volume buttons do nothing. Here are some commands I tried
Code:
fastboot getvar all
getvar:all FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.588s
-------------------------------
fastboot devices
HT35CW91**** fastboot
-----------------
fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader...
Even the reboot just hung there with no change in the device. Is it a paperweight now or is there a way back? Obviously I can't remove the battery and I've not unplugged the USB cable just in case

fastboot boot <name of recovery>.img no longer works; it only works on hboot 1.44
just reboot using POWER + VOLDOWN the flash recovery.

Thanks for the response. The phone doesn't respond to any button presses, so I can't VOLDOWN to Power Down. I have tried holding VOLDOWN + POWER like you said but the screen is still on and the phone hasn't done anything

no i meant press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN buttons (preferably under a bright light), then when it reboots, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN and you're back in bootloader.
also it's safe to unplug it. once you do, bootloader may actually respond to normal presses again.

Thanks very much, you're a lifesaver! When I unplugged the device the screen still didn't respond but pressing & holding POWER+VOLDOWN for ~10 seconds rebooted the phone and I'm back in business.

actually just tried, once unplugged bootloader still "hung", had to use the POWER + VOLDOWN as mentioned above to go to bootloader again

HELP! Only have bootloader access!

So like a moron I installed ViperRom 5.0 with regular old CWM. Now as a result I'm stuck at the bootloader with no access to recovery.
I have no idea what to do now. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Can you not boot into recovery from the boot loader or reboot and hold the volume down button?

I only have access to my bootloader......can't get into recovery or boot into the rom.
My terminal window keeps hanging on "waiting for device" so I don't think USB Debugging was enabled.....
The only thing that is looking bright is that my computer is recognizing my phone in Fastboot.
I'm completely clueless on what to do now.....
Please anyone help

Maybe try flashing recovery again?

Does it say fastbootusb? If not press the power button to select fastboot.

can only get into fastboot after trying to flash twrp recovery

I was trying to follow the steps in this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/recovery-twrp-oneplus-3t-t3507308 - and I got hung up at step #7. After flashing the twrp recovery in fastboot, I could not get it to boot into twrp recovery.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
That returned with
Code:
[email protected]:~/$ sudo fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.069s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)
finished. total time: 0.089s
And when I tried to reboot it took me into what I thought was the stock recovery warning me that my device was unlocked and not to be trusted and gave me the options to power off, restart, recovery or fastboot. Fastboot takes me to the fastboot mode. Recovery takes me back to this same screen warning me that it isn't to be trusted. Powering off and restarting either take me back to the warning screen or simply give me a blank screen and the white led on.
I don't know where to go from here. I've downloaded the stock rom but I don't think I can flash that from fastboot and I can't get connect to the phone with adb because I can't boot the phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Aside from to stop messing with stuff when I don't fully understand what I'm doing that is...
Thanks for any help!
Jono

Go back to fastboot and try booting the stock recovery. Then choose to update worry ADB sideload. That worked for me, but I'm still having issues with TWRP.

Thanks for the reply! When I try that it just takes me back to the screen that says it can't be trusted because it's unlocked and 5 seconds later if I haven't pushed the volume keys it shows the oneplus logo for a second and then the screen goes blank and the white LED comes on.

solved
Ok, I managed to flash the stock recovery; which I downloaded from oneplus directly. I'm a new user here so it won't let me post a link but they do provide a download for the stock recovery there.
At that point I was able to reboot into recovery, and now I can get it to start up again. Here's what I did in case anyone needs help.
Code:
[email protected]:~/$ sudo fastboot devices

Hope that helps anyone else. After I did that it rebooted and took me through the whole setup procedure. I'm going to hold off on trying to root this thing for now.

p8 lite bircked - rescue mode func no 7 - how to boot into twrp via fastboot

hi have a bricked p8 lite in front of me. when i start the phone im in rescue mode and get the rror:
func no 7(teeos image)
error no 1(security verify failed)
with power button + vol+ i cant boot into recovery. phone does nothing. just blinks red.
booting into fastboot is possible. bootloader is apperently locked(phone locked). if its possible to install twrp with a locked bootloader then ive done so via this tutorial. if not, am i f+++ed because huawai doesnt give out unlock codes?
i guess it doesnt work with a locked bootloader:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (31572 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.828s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.830s
is it possible to reboot into recovery via fastboot? fastboot reboot recovery dosnt seem to work.
any suggestions what i could try next?

with locked bootloader, you're pretty fu****d... but, some third party app/sites give bootloader codes for some money... had something similar long time ago, fortunately for me, I had my bootloader unlocked... I guess there aren't other solutions... and from fastboot, you can't go to recovery...

okay found this, you can try it... I too got my code this way, but back then Huawei was open to unlocking bootloaders, now cannot say... but you can still try

unfortunatly the led just blinks red when i press all 3 buttons. flashing a stockrom or parts of via fastbootin locked bootloader also isnt possible i guess?

today i unlocked ale-l21 with dc-unlocker for 4 euros.

You need to install stock android 5 and root it with kingroot, then open a bash terminal and get the bootloader code with grep, there's a tutorial on how to do all of this, and it's free. This should also unbrick your phone. If you have an sd card you should be fine. If not, you may encounter complications but you should be able to do it too.

I NEED HELP, BootLoop, Boot partition idk i need help

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.479s]
Finished. Total time: 3.633s

If Fastboot mode is possible:
Downloaded the Fastboot rom identical to the one on the device and extract the boot.img from the images folder then flash it with a fastboot cmd.
