This should have been posted in the General section, not the Development section.
If you can boot the phone into HBOOT, then you can flash a new recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode.
If you have more questions post in the GENERAL section after you have searched.

Would you be so kind and provide more info there for me ? Possibly links to Rom with .exe extension? I can't find them anywhere and I am very short on time as I travel. Dory to be a pain but I really need this phone working quickly. Why I needed to mess it up while abroad!

[Q] S3 I9305 won't boot in custom recovery

Hi Guys,
I have s3 GT-I9305, android version 4.1.2, baseband version I9305XXBLL5. Australian model for Optus.
I successfully rooted and installed Philz_Touch_6.19.3 _ After that I could do Nandroid online backup and confirm it is rooted.
When I tried to flash custom ROM today - I found I can't boot in CWM/Philz recovery mode. Then I tried to different version of Philz/CWM and TWRP but none worked. It keeps booting in stock recovery mode- I get message as shown in attached image.
PS: I have USB diagnosis checked but haven't unlocked boot loader?

to be specific: my phone works fine - boots fine - It is just I want to load custom rom and it won't go to custom recovery and I can't load custom ROM.
Thanks.

HELP!
can anyone please help me out here!
I kept searching and found some solution but none worked.
I used triangle away. - didn't work
Installed custom recovery without checking auto reset and started after pulling battery out. - didn't work
It still boot in odin mode and I can't go to custom recovery

i have the same problem too when i got my phone flashed 3rd recovery last year,
the stock recovery can automaticly restore itself after reboot~
but i found the solution here in xda,just flash a zip to unlock the self-protection of the stock recovery~
i will tell you the link and the attachment several hours later after my work,if you cannt wait, you can search it here,maybe you can find it yourself.

I had a quick search but couldn't find it. Will greatly appreciate if you can post link.
Thanks

even after you flash a custom recovery...your phone will automatically flash stock recovery every time it reboots...so that's why you will get into stock even if you flash CWM/TWRP or what you like.....
here is the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394
read at the end of the first post....WORKAROUND......
i used myself and worked....

the guy offered the post which included the solution.
try to flash the "Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip",it will work..
good luck
:fingers-crossed:

Done
Thanks guys.
Above solution didn't work for me but I got it working through rom manager App. I reboot to recovery through ROM Manager and it worked.
How ever After I installed Pacman rom, I couldn't use App as there were no Gapps and wouldn't boot to recovery. The workaround here was to press home, volume up and lock button simultaneously and release it after few second and it will go to custom recovery.
In the end, I am on Pacman Nightly 06/04/2014 with Philz touch recovery.

Flashed SOKP with CWM, now recovery is gone

Hey guys,
strange thing happened to me yesterday.
After I got fed up with Paranoid, I decided to pick one of the other AOKP derivatives.
Although I had initial problems with mounting sdcard1, I somehow managed to flash from there
and do have SOKP with android 4.4.4 running on my honami
the thing is, when I want to access recovery through vol+ or vol-, my phone freezes on boot,
otherwise everything is working fine.
Unfortunately I need to flash GAPPS and I need to find some kind of workaround...
What I have tried is flashing TWRP and Z1DualRecovery via fastboot with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

What is SOKP? Any link you can give us?
Did the kernel for that ROM include a recovery?
TWRP cannot be installed via fastboot on xperia devices. Z1dualrecovery kernel is for stock based roms only.
Maybe you should flash a FTF and start again.

you have unlocked bootloader, let flash pimp kernel to have working recovery, so you can reflash the rom to check it.

SOKP is Sonic Open Kang, a newer AOKP derivate.
It is one of the top posts in Android Development Forum.
Thought you heard of it.
Ok thanks will try it with pimped kernel. Hope it works with AOKP.

I have seen it now, try flashing and wiping again

Hey, thanks for the fast response guys.
So I've just flashed Pimped Kernel to this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/xperia-z1-t2834169
I am still getting stuck on boot when I'm trying to get into recovery.
Neither vol+ not vol- works, I hit it when the purple light flashes and the orange one comes up and stays like forever.
So unfortunately I cannot flash nor wipe.
And Android without GAPPS kinda sucks... especially when they have the new material design...
EDIT: And I don't want to stay on pimped kernel cuz it somehow causes battery drain for me...
Only possibility would be to somehow install the zip via ADB/Fastboot... does that work somehow?

Just keep pressing it throughout the boot sequence, don't forget you have to press, let go, press, let go etc..... Its not just one long press

Just tried that out, in both directions.
Same result - no success.
Really unusual since it was always a long press and I should also be getting into the recovery
by rebooting into recovery from inside the ROM.
What other possibilities are there to get gapps on your phone?

push them with adb
but that's not the point
have you booted into system and check to see if quick boot is enabled in developer options - root

I dont seem to have that option,
all I have is the point "Update CM Recovery when installing system updates"

@gregbradley how do I push and flash those via ADB?

Check in the gapps zip where each file should be installed (Proabably all to system/app) and the associated permissions (Should be 0755 or 0644, I don't have time to check just now)
Then put all the files in the same folder where you have adb installed.
then
Code:
adb push "[I]name of file here[/I]" system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
adb chmod 0755 system/app/"[I]name of file here[/I]"
Replace the name of the file with the extension where I have said, change the "0755" to "0644" if that's what it says in the updater script, and if the apks should be installed somewhere else (for example syste/priv-app) change the commands to that.
This method would take you a long time, proabably best to just push the play store and then download the google apps you want, or better still, fix your recovery

Ok guys, many many thanks for your help.
I solved the problem and got my recovery back.
I flashed PhilZ and I like it. Way better than regular CWM.
You can close the thread now.

[Solved]Wiped complete system rom, no os is installed.

OK people i won't talk much, i by mistake in twrp went to wipe then advance wipe and selected everything in there (including system)( i got a 158 mb update to v10d software i did that but it kinda failed cuz it rebooted once and got to twrp and stayed on it forever all other reboots take me to twrp and nothing else and then i wiped everything after trying many times cuz i was mad ).
SO yeah now there's no os installed in it.
BTW i have l90 D410 the dual sim version v10c software rooted and unlocked bootloader with guides from XDA only.
To fix myself i tried downloading CM 11 and tried flashing the zip from twrp at first i got w7ds error telling my device is not w7, so i searched a bit and got something which said change updater script and edit "w7" to "w7ds" in the first few lines. So i did that and tried to flash again but then i got MD5 does not match
WHAT should i do?
ATM im just stuck on twrp with no os installed in my l90 or say i have a completely wiped l90 with twrp recovery and a sd card (8 gb) and when trying to reboot twrp says your device doesnt look rooted install supersu to root it (obviously swiping to install dont work), other twrp functions are working good.
HELP PLSsssss most appreciated.

What thread did you get your recovery from, @Quarx CM11? There is an option in TWRP on the page that's displayed right after selecting files to install, "Zip file signature verification". Make sure it's unchecked. Unchecking that option should bypass the MD5 verification and allow the installation. Unfortunately, you may have to continue with editing the updater-script on new installs.
I'll speak with @shoxxy and @Quarx about creating recoveries for the dual sim devices so that we can prevent this error from happening anymore. This will mean that there will eventually be 2 different sets of recoveries available for the L90. One set for dual-sim devices, and one set for single sim devices. By recovery set, I mean all available recoveries, CWM, TWRP, and Philz-Touch.
The reason for TWRP not installing SuperSU to root the OS is because there is no OS to root.

i believe i got twrp from google (damn) , by md5 verification you mean that zip file verification should have a cross infront of it or not? well w/e it is i tried in both ways (having cross and not having one) but it checks for md5 both times, maybe because i dont have twrp from quarx thread.
Can i update my twrp to quarx's one? if so how pls tell, would be much helpfull.
EDIT : atm i have downloaded few files that might be needed to unbrick(stock kdz file, cm11 28/10 build, twrp image from quarx) on my pc

UPDATE
OK i got to install cm11 on my device and when i try to fix permissions is says a SELinux is present (good) but phone is still just booting in twrp only.....
HELPPPP
nooooooo some1 pls help im desperate.......
p.s. why doesnt twrp remember my settings, i set screen timeout to 15 sec, after every reboot i have to w8 full 60 sec to get its screen timeout to be able to use the touch screen.
EDIT: OK guys dont bother yourself now i got myself running cm11 on my phone and its unbricked now. Cheers and thanks for your time.
if any1 wants me to tell what happened to my device how it happened and how i fixed w/e i tried etc then pls tell i might write it down for some other people who might be stuck.

you said that u updated ur device to 10d..
Thats d problem.....
If u updated ur phone without stock recovery..
It will struck at twrp..
If u try to flash roms..
but still u'll struck at twrp (It happens to me tooo)
After rebooting the phone is directly enter into recovery mode to flash new update ..
I don't know where the update file and script stored but until its updated its still struck at the same twrp..
if u remove cache/delvik cache/data/system..
But still its trying to update phone by entering into recovery mode.......
So,
Only one solution to this.
Flash kdz file using offline method.
Here's link to thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-flash-stock-kdz-offline-lg-l90-t2803479
but after flashing kdz 10C.

the problem here is that my phone was not in usb debugging mode before brick and i spent 6-7 hrs figuring out how to get my device detected, but it never got detected in my pc.
BTW my prob for now is solved since my phone is running cm11 very well, its true that i lost some good functionality like knock on, qslide apps, quick window software, etc. but at least it has an os to boot into now.

Sent from my GT-I9192 using XDA Free mobile app

i have found out how to fix this what you need to do is first flash a rom zip file get your stock recovery image for your device and flash it via twrp select install than install image find your stock recovery image then flash it then it will boot to the previous rom you tried to install then you can reflash twrp and all good

So, is it working or not?
If yes, please flash the stock 5.0.2. Install Xperia Z dual recovery, there is a script that installs dual recovery with just one click. Just connect the device on the pc, enable developer options, enable usb debug and allow to do its thing.
When running the script select option 3, 5.0.2 without root.
After you install the recovery, you can flash any rom you want from there, just make sure to do the correct wiping before and after. happy flashing

Its working now,is there tutorial for flashing recovery

Could not find any tutorial, here is the manual though : http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-manual.html
Anyway you can follow these simple steps:
1. Flash stock 5.0.2 ftf
2. After phone boots, enable Developer Options and from there enable USB debug
3. Connect phone to PC.
4. Assuming you have Windows, Download the Recovery installation Tool here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=ef9a86aff9041bf1734fc9e3afe75f084d655774
5. Extract, hit the Installer and just follow the instructions from there.

I cannot see any official CM builds, if you like any Rom in the forum, please write to that thread because I'm not really sure.
If you want to experiment, you can! Because if anything goes wrong you can always use flashtool

Yes, there are official builds but those are Nightly - which means they're not ready yet for everyday use but only as test versions.
You will not have a fully functional phone because there might be many bugs in those Roms.
