Stuck booting into recovery

SO i was running nook color version 1.1.0 and i used the autonooter to get clockwork installed. I then tried to use the monster rootpack to install phiremod but after it says install is complete i rebooted but now every time i reboot it goes directly to clockwork and i cant get it to boot up normally. is there anything i can do besides a restore to stock to install phiremod/cm7 or exit recovery? BTW i did remove the monster sd card so thats not the reason its booting that way....

When booted to CWR, use adb:
adb shell
Check that rom is mounted with:
mount
You should see /rom somewhere in the returned result.
If it's mounted, do:
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
If not:
mkdir /rom
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom
Then use previous command.
If that doesn't help, you can always flash my cwr remover .zip, found on my nook color restore to stock thread.

thanks im going to try that right now.

So i am trying to run adb but it says device not found and i cant figure out how to get the device to mount

I had the same thing happen. In recovery, install the zip file in this post to remove recovery and keep it rooted. You will then be able to reboot normally.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
I read that it does that with autonooter 3.0. What you need to do is reboot normally after flashing recovery (don't reboot into recovery immediately after flashing). Afterwards you can reboot into recovery.

Hello guys,
I had the same problem, but with Team Win Recovery
I tried to remove TWR folder in sdcard, wipe Cache, Dalvik cache and even factory reset.
I installed a new rom, and as last attempt i tried to wipe all system tree, but nothing happen.
I tried to fix following the list showed in this post, but I'm not able to mount "mmcblk0p2".
Any ideas? There is a TWR remover ?
Advance thank for helps.

Not really sure what you are saying was your problem. But I have a lot of solutions to booting problems in my nook color tips thread linked in my signature. See items A8 and A12. And there is my partition repair thread.

Please help unbrick a Telus HTC One

Hi everyone.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted a Telus HTC One. But the latest flash went wrong and I went into bootloop. Somehow, I seem to have gotten myself into a situation where there's no ROM installed. I can still get into Bootloader and Recovery. When I try to start the phone, it's stuck at "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen.
I've tried factory resetting, wiping everything, relocking the bootloader and loading the Factory RUU Zip using the All-In-One tool kit by Hasoon, and sideloading a ROM. Nothing seems to work. I also managed to push a ROM to the phone using the adb push command. When I try to install it using TWRP, I get an error msg "Unable to open zip file." It failed using CWM recovery as well.
When I plug the phone into a computer, it recognizes something is plugged in. But I can't open the drive at all. I get error msgs when I try to mount sdcard, system, data, anything. Things don't seem to be mounting/recognized at all. HTC sync and drivers are installed.
Experts, what else can I try?

Try downloading a Telus clean nandroid backup. Then go back into recovery (depends of what nandroid you get, make sure you have the right recovery, so if you download a CWM nandroid use CWM).

Thanks for the suggestion. Not having any luck finding a Telus nandroid. Would it make matters worse if I try to restore from a non-Telus nandroid? My phone can't mount the /sdcard right now. Suppose I'll have to adb push it to the phone again?

You don't mount the sdcard in HTC One you mount the data partition.
Also what happens if you sideload a ROM?
PHP:
adb sideload <ROM>
Have you tried erasing cache after installing a ROM if successful?

When I sideloaded, It said
Can't Open /sdcard/rom.zip" (bad).
Installation aborted
Sideloading now gives me this error
failed to open driver control: No such file or directory
Restarting adbd
hmm, okay. I thought since recovery says "Install zip from sdcard" i thought /sdcard needed to be mounted. /data is mounted at the moment. No connectivity between computer and the phone unless through the All-in-one kit.

And I haven't had successfully installed a ROM since I bricked the phone.

Install a custom ROM and kernel on your USB from the computer, mount the USB in Twrp using the otg cable. Flash ROM, if it doesnt boot, flash the kernel.
Flashing the kernel fixed it for me.
Another way is to use an adb pusher app and transfer thevfiles to your SD card.

Bootloop after CM install. Won't restore backup, mount /data, flash stock

Hi developers. I am sorry for posting this. I spent the last week trying to solve it by myself with no hope. This is my second time installing something on a phone, but it is my only phone, so I beg anyone for a help...
-What I did:
Some days ago I downgraded to this ROM C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf to use DoomLord rooting script. I did it with flashtool for linux and I applied his .bat step by step in the terminal since windows would not detect my phone.
It worked. I had root for some days, but I was still annoyed by sony default android. So I decided to install Cyanogenmod.
I unlocked the device with sony official system and wen't straight to this instructions, before the first reboot
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_yuga
I booted succesfully in CWM, followed everything as it says there. But that's where weird things happened:
-The problems:
-The backup
I tried, it wouldn't mount /sdcard. Since I don't understand much about this, I thought it was normal. The next choice was sdcard1, I backed up there. Or so I thought...
-The factory reset
I factory reset, again, not mounting sdcard. Here is the message that shows when I try this now:
can't mount /data!
Error mounting /sdcard.android_secure
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
Since it said it is complete, I went on installing the zip file from my sdcard1. Both CM 10.2.1 (dogo, the right one for my phone) and the appropriate GAPPS.
Now it loops on the CM loop animation and I have to remove the battery...
-The restore problem
It still boots on the recovery mode. So I tried recovering my backup from sdcard1. But the image name is 1970.01.01.00.03.16. And it says "md5 mismatch"
I tried flashing again the stock rom with flashtool. The proccess goes on but nothing happens. I still have CWM and the boot loop.
I read elsewhere someone with a similar problem who solved using sony "emma" software. I installed it, it won't even recocnize my phone.
It recocnizes that there is a phone, but don't know which one.
But that has alway been the case with windows. I haven't been able to do anything in windows other then accessing the sdcard (when the phone worked).
Is there something I can do? I imagine that somehow, for some reason, the /data and /sdcard partitions got corrupted. I imagine I would need to repartition this and install again, but I have no idea how this happens on phones...
I can mount /system /cache and /storage/sdcard1. just /data I can´t. Says "error mounting /data"
This is my only phone and a vey recent $400 thing. I was very stupid to do that withouth a replacement and really need this phone. I greatly appreciate any help...

I found this post forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/ searching the internet. Is it possible that this would solve my problem? or would it finish bricking the phone?
Here's what you'll need:
Working recovery, basic knowledge of adb & the shell
Parted (download here)
stock PB31IMG.zip
Note also that I had run unrevoked forever (so my phone was S-OFF) ... I'm not sure if that's required or not.
So, grab parted from the link above. Now you need to extract the individual binaries from the .zip (the 6 files in the sdparted folder within the zip), ideally to your android-sdk\tools directory. Now push all 6 files (adb push [file] /sbin/). Next, we need to make them useable, so go into the shell (adb shell). Change to your /sbin/ directory, and run: chmod 0755 <file> on each of the 6 files.
Now, we need to fix the partitions. This is assuming that the partitions are there, just the wrong format (which is what happened to me .. I accidentally made them FAT32 instead of ext). So, run the following: parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2. It will ask if you want to continue, hit yes. When it asks for the partition number, enter 1. Next, when it asks for the format, enter ext2. Let it do its thing. Now, once it's done, run parted again. This time, enter partition 2 (everything else is the same).

[Q] TWRP 2.8.7.1 - Cannot see files under /sdcard

Hi guys, I've been using TWRP for a long time, but this one is a bit of a head-scratcher for me. I'm running stock Android MMB29S on my N6, unlocked bootloader, and unrooted. I decided to install TWRP 2.8.7.1 and then root it with Beta supersu 2.66. The fastboot flashing of TWRP went fine the first time, and I opted to leave TWRP read-only. But I didn't install supersu right afterwards. Rather, I rebooted into system first, and downloaded supersu. When I attempted to reboot into recovery again to flash supersu, I'm finding out that stock recovery has overwritten TWRP. Ok, no problem, I re-flashed TWRP, but this time I allowed it to modify the system (instead of read-only). Now, I'm unable to see anything under /sdcard or any of the other folders when I go to flash the zip. Under the "Mount" Menu, I see that only "cache" is checked. Didn't want to mess with anything there.
Rebooting into system now gives me the "Your device is corrupted..." spiel, which I'm not concerned about, but I really do need to be able to see files in TWRP. Would re-installing TWRP be an option or even a different version of it?

mount system. if its still empty after that, use twrp to locate the right place in the filesystem. yes, like a file explorer app twrp can act

The solution to my problem was actually as simple as just removing the lockscreen passcode. I was wondering why TWRP was asking for that in the first place. Once I removed the lockscreen PIN and went back into TWRP I was able to see all the files. Happily rooted now. :good:

(Guide) Get TWRP Working with Data Access on Stock [UPDATED]

Thanks to @seadersn and @SGCMarkus, Markus's new TWRP makes things extremely simple now.
What you need:​SGCMarkus's TWRP
fstab.judypn with forceencrypt set to encryptable.
magisk
and the .magisk file​
Instructions:​
1. Follow the instructions to boot and install TWRP on SGCMarkus's TWRP thread
2. While you're still in TWRP, mount vendor and push the fstab.judypn with:
Code:
adb push path/to/fstab.judypn /vendor/etc
3. Format data via TWRP.
4. Push the .magisk to /data (For dm-verity reasons. It will restore the fstab.judypn with forceencrypt enabled) with:
Code:
adb push path/to/.magisk /data
5. Flash Magisk.
You're done! No bootloops this time. XD

i want to try this at some point. When i did before, the screen was black. Thanks for the guide!

Flash the magiskpatched boot img included in the files

I just had my bootloader unlocked. I am trying to install TWRP, but if I flash stockpiemagisk.img or TWRP-judypn-2019-07-01.img then use the buttons to choose a factory reset I just get bootloops. I select yes both times, just like normal and it loops until going to a fastboot screen. I can then flash the original magisk_patched.img I got from the guy who unlocked my bl, but no TWRP. Even he wasn't sure why this is happening. Any ideas anyone?
Also, in case its related, I lost download mode and can't get that back even by flashing an original backup of laf_b or the lgup compatible laf. I had download mode and flashed Pie before the bl unlock...
Edit: I got download mode back. Turns out when he was unlocking the bootloader he flashed abl_b incorrectly. Once I flashed it correctly DL mode works... Now for TWRP...
NVM.... found the problem...

I have an issue. After clearing the userdata procedure, this attached images is what I get. It's a reddish boot-up screen. The Active Slot also defaulted to B (as opposed to A). I have a fastboot-loop. I am wondering where I went wrong. I completed a successful procedure on another device hours ago. LGUP does not function as well. The phone defaults to Fastboot.

I am able to get to TWRP but the fastboot-loop has changed. The image attached is what I get. I suppose in my attempt to remedy, the wrong Laf files have been flashed. It's V405UA20a

Hello mister
Actually is it possible to flash this stockpie.img on a V406EBW ?
Regards
Fred

I have exactly the situation you described (fastboot loop + pink letters screen when I try to get into DL mode). If you've managed to rectify this, can you please give me directions. Thanks.

Hi - I eventually lost root and the system factory-reset after an attempt to boot into TWRP. I have scheduled to have VLAD reflash the entire phone. My bootloader is unlocked though but don't think much can be done. There might be other variables that might be affected.
If there is a guide to using Octoplus, it will be appreciated. It also seems telegram is the new medium for development.

All the best.

will try out to follow up this info

When I follow step 3 "Format data via TWRP", at the end of the format it says:
"Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
WTP Enabled
Formatting Data using mke2fs...
Done.
You may need to reboot recovery to be able to use /
data again.
Updating partition details...
...done
UNABLE TO MOUNT STORAGE, DECRYPTION NEEDED FIRST"
I don't think that's good... Or is it?

Please Clarify/Help
I have managed to get TWRP installed and working but did not notice to do this. I went ahead and used Android already only to find that I need to do this.
I have booted into TWRP but cannot select vendor to mount it. Everything except system and vendor (and USB-OTG because there is not attached) will let me check them. But not vendor.
Do I have to go all the way back and re-install TWRP and to this before I do ANYTHING else? Do I have to do this while I am still in TWRP loaded from the image on my PC?
I realize this will loose all I have done within Android and that is the price I pay for not reading in detail. But I want to make sure this is the last time.
Thanks!

Not What I Expected - Decryption Failed!
I went ahead and re-installed TWRP from fastboot per the Markus thread After rebooting back into TWRP I then followed instructions in the 1st post here.
I could not mount vendor but I saw messages saying it was busy. So I assumed it was not unmounted and went ahead with the push to /vendor/etc. It reported successful from adb. And in TWRP file manager I can see a file named /vendor/etc and in the terminal I can cat its contents which look like what I see on my PC.
I then wiped the /data only using advanced wipe and it used makefs, not format.
I then pushed .magisk to /data and it too reported successful from adb.
I then flashed magisk and that seemed successful as well. Inside to TWRP's file manager, I was able to see the .magisk and various folders under /data. This seemed promising enough.
I finally rebooted to system and got shown what is in the attached screenshot. At that point, I had no option but to agree to the reset. When I touched that button, I was returned to TWRP. So I powered off from TWRP and tried to restart the phone. Once again I get the same decryption unsuccessful.
So I seem to be in a TWRP loop. How to proceed? Thanks

Well, as they say, if at first... I went through the steps here again. I made sure I hit the format button instead of wipe. And I made triple sure that everything was where it seemed to need to be and looked right. When I finally rebooted to system, I am now in Android setup as expected. To see if there is still encryption (ie, TWRP can see and backup /data) remains to be seen. Cheers

Sadly, once finished with a minimal Android setup I went back into TWRP and /data shows nothing. In backing up, it shows /data as 0 bytes. So I presume this means I am still encrypted. Is there no way out of this hell? Thanks

Here's the thing I would try. Load up LGUP and reload a stock kdz. Make sure that before you begin futzing with the phone, you are booting from Slot A.
Then retrace all the steps carefully. And don't set up anything on the phone until you have reached nirvana (bootloader unlocked, unencrypted, Magisk installed).
You'll get there.
