Please help - Stock FRF91 to CM6

Hi, really hoping someone can help me here.
I have a Nexus One that was running a stock Android 2.2 FRF91, and I want to go to a CM ROM.
I've been following the wiki guide here.
I have completed the "Unlocking the Bootloader" section.
I have chosen to use Amon_Ra's recovery. When I ran the command this is what I got back in the command window, so it looks to have been successful.
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3962 KB)... OKAY [ 0.764s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.576s]
finished. total time: 2.340s
I was then able to update the Radio. Now I'm stuck trying to flash the ROM.
This is exactly what I do leading up to my current problem.
Switch the phone on holding down the trackball.
Select Bootloader option.
Select Recovery.
At this point it reboots, but I am left with a little green android man and a white triangle with an orange ! mark.
HELP! Thank you.

Simple:
After install recovery reboot holding VOL DOWN and enter first time in Amon-RA.
Now "flash update.zip"----->CyanogenMod6-RC2 (it contains root etc.)
If you reboot and retry to enter in recovery you'll have little android in triangle...that's because ota FRF91 has a script in system/etc/install-recovery.sh that at every boot change at default recovery. If you have root you can delete that file, but if you haven't you have to do that:
1. install recovery
2. at reboot enter directly in recovery (at first time)
3. install cyano rom
4. reboot
5. now you can flash amon-ra recovery and it is forever

Hello, and thanks for your quick reply!
Still problems though...I'll note exactly what I'm doing.
Phone is not connected to USB and is switched off.
Hold down VOL DOWN and Power button.
Press VOL DOWN and then press in the Power button to select RECOVERY.
Now the phone reboots and I'm back to the little green man with the triangle and orange ! mark.

So..
Enter in fastboot and reload recovery with fastboot, at the first reboot enter in recovery....first time you'll enter in AMon-RA and do what i wrote up.

Sorry, so just to be clear...
Are these the steps to follow?
Connect phone to PC.
Power on phone holding down the power button
From the PC running the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At first reboot after this hold down VOL DOWN to flash CM update.zip
Is that correct?
Thanks.

No (IMPORTANT (not reboot completely):
1. connect phone and POWER UP holdin VOL DOWN
2. enter in fastboot and reload amon-ra recovery first
3. at reboot (after you have loaded amon-ra) VOL DOWN and choose recovery with POWER button----------->AMOn-RA
...............understood?

OK, so I'm doing what you say.
I have the phone connected to the PC.
I turn it on holding the VOL DOWN button.
I get to a white screen with 3 green android men and 4 options (FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, and SIMLOCK).
From a command prompt on the PC I try to run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, but this just sits there saying ( waiting for device ).
If I try to enter the RECOVERY mode it reboots back the point point where I was stuck to begin with.
I really appreciate your help, please stick with me! Thanks.
WAIT! Think I've got it working...will report back shortly.

When you are in blank screen you have to see fastboot in red.
In prompt have you written: fastboot devices?
It gives you such a "HTC 123455666..." If yes you have to load recovery like first time...after you have to choose recovery in blank screen if possible directly with POWER BUTTON...i hope..

Hurrah! Think it looks to be complete now.
Thank you so much for your help HTCDevil.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery or erase recovery (TRIED ERASING CACHE)

Hi I am trying to work through the process of rooting my HTC One.
I have some experience with android as I've rooted three different phones now, the One is the only one giving me trouble :/
So I got the bootloader unlocked via the HTC Dev method, and now I'm trying to get recovery to work. I've flashed CWM, CWMT, and TWRP, and no matter which I try I can't boot into recovery via "adb reboot recovery" or via the HBOOT menu. When I try the phone just goes through a regular reboot. I can't use ROM Manager to do it either naturally since I don't have root yet (need recovery to install SuperSU).
However ROM Manager does show I have CWM and TWRP installed (both? weird) so I tried to start over by doing "fastboot erase recovery" but it says
FAILED: (remote: not allowed)
I tried "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing a recovery and nothing at all changes.
Any ideas? Could I have missed something really simple and stupid? I'm pulling all my hair out trying to figure this out.
I heard some people got it to work by flashing the recovery to the boot partition, but until I get assurance that isn't a terrible horrible idea (like it seems) I don't want to try that.
EDIT: yes, the "fast boot" option in the power menu is already disabled.

I had the same issue. Solved it by disabling the fast boot option within the OS. Under power options.
Worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply but that option is already disabled

I was facing the same problem, however, what I did was turn on fast boot under settings right after I flashed the recovery.
Then, I rebooted back into the bootloader and I now had ***TAMPERED*** at the top of my screen. I afterwards selected reboot into recovery and bam, I now had TWRP on my phone.

Just tried that, didn't work
Also why would you have TAMPERED at the top? Did you change anything else to get that like flash a different HBOOT or fastboot or something?
I'm about to throw this thing out the window -___-

SOLVED
Hallelujah, I got it!
I did nothing differently, but eventually it worked...very weird, but at least I got it! The final iteration to get it working was this:
1. Turn off fast boot option in power menu
2. Boot into bootloader via power menu, then power + vol down
3. go into fastboot
4. from a cmd window, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot erase cache
6. from the menu, boot into recovery
7. phone boots to the OS instead of recovery
8. boot back into the bootloader via power menu, power + vol down
9. TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and it works!
note that i never used adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader, idk if that matters, but I did everything from the phone.
thanks for all your help!

For what it's worth, I use ROM Toolbox's Reboot to recovery option and it works. Though I can see where you'd need to boot to recovery from startup.

[Q] Device not going into recovery

So I just unlocked the bootloader. I tried flashing the TWRP custom recovery. I accidentally installed the incorrect version (I'm sporting the 4.4 unlocked GSM version btw), so I thought no big deal, I'll just get the correct one. I find the correct one, the twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4 one, and flash that using fastboot. It looks like it works but at the beginning, it says "<bootloader> Variable not supported!" but it finishes. I try booting into recovery from the fastboot screen. It goes immediately to the unlocked bootloader screen and just stays there for like 3 minutes, then powers off, and goes back into android. Any help? I would love to get a recovery on here to root my device.
Edit: I've also tried mfastboot

Yes
Try fastboot reboot-bootloader and unplug your phone , from there use the volume down button to move to recovery and the volume up button selects recovery, not the power button. You may have to reflash twrp again as it gets over written sometimes

Yea do what he says. Right after you flash the recovery go directly to the Recovery use the option in the Bootloader menu. The recovery gets erased if you flash it then reboot the phone.

yes, I was making that mistake!
So you do this:
1) mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img;
2) fastboot reboot-bootloader; and
3) then get into recovery mode by pressing the Volume Down button to highlight recovery mode and pressing the Volume Up button to select the recovery mode.

Correct.
EDIT: wait don't do the reboot-bootloader command. Just go into recovery after flashing.

OK, I thought I read somewhere you needed to do that, but if you don't, then don't do it. I did it that way and it worked for me.

So which way did it work, without fast boot reboots boot loader or directly to recovery?

I only did it the one way like I posted and it was successful. Before that, I didn't realize that you had to hit Volume Up to select boot into recovery and was hitting the power button, which of course, did not put me into recovery, it did a normal boot. Once I posted here and realized what I was doing wrong, I did it like I posted above, including fastboot reboot-bootloader command, and it worked.

OK, don't feel bad , 90% of folks do that, they assume the power button enters recovery

[SOLVED][Help] Installing stock recovery causing problems

Hi,
I'm very new to rooting and such and only followed guides a read forum posts to get to where I am now.
My phone is rooted with stock ROM and SU, the bootloader is unlocked but no S-OFF (don't think it's possible on the mini 2 yet anyway). The new OTA update last night installed when I got home and charged my phone, then the phone just shut off and every time I tried to boot it would go straight into TWRP without showing splash screen or bootloader (even when holding power and the volume down button). When it's in this state the touch screen doesn't work and the power button only locks the phone. Holding power + vol down in this state doesn't do anything.
I have to let the power drain completely to get the phone to boot back up but it immediately boots back into recovery and then I can use ADB to force the bootloader to appear, but when I flashed the stock recovery that I found in these boards, it messes up the screen and all it shows is static with some artifacts. I have to let the power drain again to get back into the bootloader, and from the bootloader I can get the android OS to boot but I'd like to fix this completely.
I guess I should also mention that even after flashing the stock recovery the phone will still boot back into TWRP after I let the power drain so I think that means that the stock recovery isn't taking?

The twrp problem you mentioned is known, hope it'll be fixed soon. Are you sure you typed the right command to flash stock recovery? Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you get stuck, the combination is power button and volume up, not volume down...

Unfortunately I was using the wrong ADB command, I was typing "fastboot boot recovery.img". This seems to have fixed the problem so far but I have yet to try rewriting TWRP back to the phone and I probably won't until theres a fix or unless I need to.
Thank you for your help.

I had the same problem. It happens when I reboot with my phone when charging.
You can reboot your phone by holding vol up+power button.

Can't get custom recovery on Moto g 2014 XT1068.

I think I've tried every method of flashing a custom recovery on my moto g2 but the thing won't show up. I try to boot into recovery but the phone just turns off. Nothing happens so I tried booting into recovery through command prompt and still no success. Can someone please help me out with this. I have seriously no idea what to do.

Hello,
Before flashing custom recovery, make sure that you have unlocked bootloader. If not, here is the procedure: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Remember to install adb and fastboot on your computer along with Motorola drivers. Minimal ADB can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Once bootloader is unlocked, follow below steps:
1. Switch off your phone.
2. Press Power + Volume down button for 5 seconds and then release. You will see a menu with options like Normal Powerup, Recovery, Factory Reset etc. This mode is called as bootloader mode.
3. Now connect your phone to computer and from command prompt run below command
fastboot flash recovery <recovery image file name>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Now power off your phone and start in bootloader mote (see step 2).
5. When you see the menu, press volume down button to navigate the menu to downward size and select/highlight Recovery option.
6. Now press volume up button and your phone shall boot into recovery.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

After this how to install phillz custom ROM?
