[Q] Can't Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery

I have a Streak 7 (unlocked WiFi + 3G/4G) with Stock Honeycomb. I previously Rooted it and had CWM Recovery installed (not sure which version, but I think it was 5.something). Somehow, I seem to have reverted to the stock recovery. I don't know how this happened, but I noticed it first when I tried to make a backup last week. I have tried several times to flash CWM recovery (both versions 5.0.2.7 and 5.0.2.8) but I keep getting the stock recovery when I boot to recovery. Otherwise, everything seems to operate normally.
I use fastboot to flash recovery and get the following:
C:\Android ADB Streak\Streak\Win32>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4402 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.507s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.355s]
finished. total time: 1.863s
On the Streak screen, I see:
Starting Fastboot USB Download Protocol
Flashing StorMgr partition recovery
Read after write partition recovery
then I reboot the Streak:
C:\Android ADB Streak\Streak\Win32>fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.002s
But when I boot into recovery, I get the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

You press/hold +Vol button, press/hold the power button till the menu comes up. You then select option #2 and press the power button. That will take into CWM.

Thanks. I feel like a clone:cyclops:; I forgot about selecting option 2. Although it would be helpful if each Android device didn't have a different way of getting to Recovery.

Thank you very much .... But when I select option 2 "install update .... " my device freeeze on boot !!!!!!!!!!
Can you give me a solution please .. thanks

You've flashed the CWM via Fastboot and your trying to boot into it now?

I would make sure you are at least 60% charge first.

There are a few different CWM versions, so it's possible that you used a version not compatiable with your ROM.

The same was happening to my streak but i installed version 3.0.x.x and it worked with that one

Flash recovery FAILED (remote: no transfered data)

Hello,
1. I think I may have bricked my phone, here's what I did. I was S-OFF, Super CID. Installed new M4 RUU, the only one I could find and then decided to install Stock_SixthSense-M4_5.11Base.
2. I had an error at the end of it 'unable to mount /system'.
3. Tried to start adb sideload to try a different ROM, couldn't start either.
4. Rebooted phone to booloader, tried to start recovery TWRP, screen flashing not starting.
5. Tried to reinstall recovery and this:

Try to run the RUU again. If it is successful, then you are back to stock. There is a HTC One Mini forum which will have more expertise than this forum.

The RUU did install properly. It's an AT&T RUU though and there aren't any others which is a bit of an issue.
Still can't get a custom ROM to install with TRWP

Are you S-ON and is your bootloader unlocked?
Does the black screen have a triangle in it? If so, then you are in stock recovery.
What version of TWRP are you using?
What version of your PC (Win, Mac, Linux) OS are you using?
Could you post the output of the command window with the steps for flashing the recovery?

Here are a couple of options:
Try TWRP 2.6.3.3
Connect your PC to the phone while the phone is in Recovery (Black screen) then type: adb reboot recovery
Try a different computer or Linux
Save your files off of the phone;
-- Lock the bootloader
-- Flash stock firmware
-- Enter stock recovery and perform a factory reset
-- Reboot phone a couple of times
-- Unlock bootloader
-- Flash TWRP

Gremlins?? Sometimes the programs don't clean up after themselves and they leave corrupted files/bits. That is why you want to erase cache to make it clean. Glad you are back up!!!

Wait for moment when battery is at 0% and phone will shut down. Boot into fastboot and flash TWRP recovery, create backup, wipe all on device and reboot it.

I tried that. My phone has been in this state for probably a month already. I heard the only solution is DC Phoenix via testpoint method.

Try Firmware finder for huawei + erecovery method , which is :
- download firmware finder on *another android phone* and search for exact phone model (ex : PRA-LA1C185)
- choose the very first firmware down the list
- Get an update thorugh dns >> Manually >> Register update
- After that , reboot your bricked phone into erecovery by ( power + volume*+*)
- press download recovery and last firmware
- wait till getting package
- by now should firmware start downloading
- let phone complete it's work and reboot
Hope that's work for you ?

About your problem - If your phone throws errors when you try to boot into TWRP, then something is wrong with TWRP (for example you flashed incompatibile version). Boot into bootloader aka fastboot mode and try to flash TWRP again from there.
Off-topic part: In my opinion, this is the most helpful & best community about Android phones. Noone is going to help you if you keep spamming. Just be patient, we are humans, not robots

Bootloader can't be locked if you managed to flash TWRP. Do the following:
1. Make sure the phone is turned off
2. Hold Vol- and plug the usb cable in
3. You should be in bootloader aka fastboot mode
4. Flash TWRP using (p8 lite 2015) fastboot flash recovery <path>.img
5. fastboot reboot

I booted into fastboot, flashed the individual firmware files and it kept failing on the vendor.
I had a black screen with a red flashing LED on reboot. I claimed on my insurance and they replaced the board on the phone.
I checked on here and online for a resolution and it generally points to a hard brick.

You must use OTG! Probably Flashify borked a partition,but i don't think it borked vendor.
However, you should still be able to flash a FullOTA with TWRP + NoCheck combo.
If you can't manage that, hit me on Telegram,i'm @Pretoriano80 in there!

You can flash EMUI based FW using an OTA method. It should work. But it will lock your bootloader and you will have to unlock it again.
