Recovery Problem - no touch, no lock button? - LG Optimus 4X HD

hey guys, after a long time lying around i tried to reactivate my old p880.
there was an old clockworkmod recovery installed, so i wanted to upgrade to the newest TWRP.
there were no adb drivers installed, the twrp app closed with an error after launching, so i decided to flash the .img via terminal emulator.
after that i boot into recovery. it installed correctly, but touchscreen doesn't react. i cant do anything in recovery, the touch doesnt work??
the i flashed the newest clockworkmod recovery without touch. installed it the same way. boot into recovery --> i cant selcect any point, because the lock button for enter, don't react either??
any ideas how to solve this problem??

i had same problem, i removed battery and wait a little bit than back battery and enter to recovery.
i hope this will work.

[Q] Stuck in CWM bootloop

Hi,
So I finally got my first error. :crying:
I did a reboot from an app called quick reboot to recovery, and now I am stuck in CWM bootloop.
The sad thing is that I went into recovery to do a nandroid so doing a restore from that backup didn't help.
Any way to fix this without flashing the device back to stock?
Thanks!
Edit:
Sorry, forgot to mention I am running cocore 3.9 kernel with deodexed JB.

You know how to use ADB shell? You need to install any other kernel with dd command, or try to do "reboot" from ADB shell in recovery.
I have used the ADB shell on a sony xperia phone so I know more or less how to use it.
Do I need to install any additional files for my phone, or is the ADB ready for my phone (in the xperia I had to get the google usb driver and update it to be able to get into fastboot mode)?
How do I get the phone to be recognized by ADB if i'm stuck in recovery mode?
Which commands do I need to run to reboot the device?
Ok, this is weird. It is fixed by itself
I actually didn't do anything.
I removed the battery again to turn the device off.
I got the cable plugged to my PC (the device showed the charging logo) then turned the device on (to get ready to use ADB).
Surprise surpise the device booted up normally.
I had already tried the process of removing the battery, and did multiple reboot from the CWM option, with no success before.
Now to try to understand.
What just happened?
Why did it get stuck in the recovery bootloop in the first place (I have used this app on GB, so it should also work on JB)?
How did it fix itself? Connecting the cable before the device was on "freed it" somehow?
Most importantly what do you need to do if that happens in the future?
If you have any advice how to backtrack what happened, I would be glad also to share for other users who might come across this situation.

What happend is the problem with J4FS driver in system (kernel). So do not use Reboot recovery untill it is fixed in kernel.
Probably removing battery reseted it, and you could go to system normaly.

But I just now succeeded going into recovery the normal way (turn off device -> vol up+home+power) 3 times (also did another nandroid :good and back to system with no problems. So I am guessing there is a bug when trying to reboot to recovery with the app?
If removing the battery did the trick why didn't it work the first time I did it?

Problem is with doing command "reboot recovery" while you are booted in system. That does not consider going there by using hardware buttons. For ability to use reboot recovery from some app you need fixed J4FS driver in kernel. I got bootloop to recovery too with some version of CoCore. Now you can't do anything untill it is fixed. Look at kernels thread for updates, and report your problem.
About that solution, I do not know. I solved it with flashing other kernel from recovery with ADB shell and DD command. Didn't try anything else.
Thank you!
I will notify cocafe of the bug.

[Q] Soft/Hard Bricked, Lost Root, Lost Recovery, USB Not Recognized

Hi all, this is a last ditched effort at maybe saving my phone. I did an update on my SU and for some unknown reason it rebooted my phone. It then loaded up my rom until the kernel settings loaded then rebooted once again. I then tried to go into recovery to flash a backup and it booted me straight into my unlocked fastboot. I then tried to reboot once again in hopes I could fast navigate into twrp through rom manager, once in I was prompted that I no longer had root. I then decided to start over from scratch and load a recovery in fastboot. Once I had everything good to go I plugged everything in and instead of recognizing my phone as a drive, HTC manager popped up instead. I then updated my drivers to see if maybe that would fix the problem with no luck. I am at a loss at this point. I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can offer.

This is completely normal, you should have just rebooted the phone and been done I then tried to go into recovery to flash a backup and it booted me straight into my unlocked fastboot. Again totally normal, thats the bootloader use the vol to move down and choose recovery and hit power this will boot you to TWRP I then tried to reboot once again in hopes I could fast navigate into twrp through rom manager, once in I was prompted that I no longer had root. I then decided to start over from scratch and load a recovery in fastboot. Why ? Once I had everything good to go I plugged everything in and instead of recognizing my phone as a drive, HTC manager popped up instead. You should not have Sync installed only the drivers I then updated my drivers to see if maybe that would fix the problem with no luck. I am at a loss at this point.

Is the whole point of this just to install SuperSU ?
does your phone still boot up ? at one point you mention using rom manager ?

I was doing a SU update. It restarted into a loop that boots about 1 min after the splash screen then resets. I've tried to redownload root through SU app as I can no longer connect through usb but it reboots to soon. I used Rom Manager to try and get into recovery as a second alternative.

flash in recovery
use adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip /data/media/0
to get the file on the phone
Reboot to bootloader / fastboot USB
and from command line on pc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
I cant understand why people using those ROm manager apps to install stuff. And you said it rebooted after you update your SU. Then i tink you pressed reboot into recovery instead of NORMAL. Am i wrong?

I no longer have a recovery to be able to flash anything. When I try to load into recovery it just boots right back into fastboot. I was just using rom manager to boot into recovery after I couldn't get into recovery through fastboot, not to flash anything. I was updating Super Su through the actual app itself. it seemed to be downloading something when it rebooted itself and I lost root, recovery and the ability to connect to my computer.

I have updated SuperSU many times and never got any problem so there is something you did. Are you on custom or stock rom?
Are you s-off / unlocked bootloader?

My bootloader is unlocked and i'm running Viperrom. I've never gone through the process of s-off but for some reason it says it at the top of my fastboot screen...not sure if that's normal or not.

Ok. I think you need to reflash recovery again.
Boot into bootloader and fastboot usb
then download TWRP recovery from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and pick 2.6.3.3-m7.img
put it into your fastboot folder and flash it "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img and hit enter
now try to reboot into recovery. When there Wipe Dalvik and Cache and reboot. If recovery ask you to root your device then accept it and reboot.
Remember to connect phone to right USB port not 3.0. Use 2.0 port and try annother cable also.

I've tried a few different cords and all 3 ports I have still nothing but the HTC manager thing. It will recognize it but only for a split second while booting up but it says HTC BUTTERFLY as the drive and i'm not sure if that's a problem or not but it won't recognize it at all through fastboot.
you cant boot up. if it doesnt recognize it in bootloader mode then i dont know.
Try restart PC. Maybe you have several adb at same time. Adn uninstall htc sync if not but keep drivers

I hadthe same problem after flashing a kernel. I repeatedly tried the bootloader (audiodown key + power button) until it started. Recovery was not available, in the red triangle screen press audio up key,got the system recovery screen, wipe cache, reboot the system and then try installing Twrp recovery. It worked.

I think @jpaulpra was telling him to reflash stock recovery
then boot to it and do clear cache.. then reflash twrp
When I got into bootloader, I lost the Twrp recovery. So when I selected recovery I got the screen with a "triangle and exclamation mark". If you leave it will reboot the system after couple of minutes. But if the audio up key is pressed, it will show a system recovery screen, where cache can be wiped

Basically all I'm trying to do now it's find a way to get my computer to recognize my phone as a drive. When I go into viper settings and go to advance menu (with the short time I have before boot loop) there is an option to mount drive. When I select the option to do so it hands on splash screen and I have to hold power button to recycle back on. Once back in it's no longer selected. I've never seen a boot loop go pay the flash screen. Is this normal?

new twrp's won't work
Hi there,
I just tried to root my htc mini 2 with and it says that it is tampered now and I can't reboot my recovery. So I tried the newest twrp and some in between because I've read in this forum that somebody had the same problem and he just got the newest twrp but that didn't work for me at all.
Is there any way to undo the whole thing by replacing the twrp with the original one or do I have to wait till there is gonna be a root for the htc mini 2?
When I try to recover everything it says that this build is for development purpose only...
Does somebody have an idea?
I would appreciate it a lot if somebody has an idea.

When the bootloader says "tempered" means that it was unlocked. when you see " this build is for development purpose only" its referring to TWRP because you now using a custom recovery. Not sure the nature of your problem but to undo, simply boot into boot loader and flash original recovery.img you can find in the forum.
I can't you open TWRP?

Thank you for the quick respond and I wanted to try and undo everything but no my problem is that my phone completely froze in the twrp screen. I can't do anything, I can't unlock it nor shut down my phone or start the bootloader... that kind of sucks. Any suggestions now? Is it possible to open the htc one mini 2 and take out the battery? or do I have to wait till it runs out by it self and than start it again?

Unresponsive after boot up from dead battery
THanks to U-ra I get the enjoy my fav DSP Viper!!!
Cheers Man,
I have a small niggling problem that I can't work out, My battery tends to die alot, once I place the phone on charge after a flat battery, the phone auto boots to Twp, I am really cool with that but the annoying thing is buttons and screen are unresponsive? I can't do a thing, just have the Twp menu. The power of button does turn the screen off/on but thats its. Tried doing factory resets, reboots holding down power, vol buttons. Just nothing.
only way around it is to use adb and reboot command.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem.

Help: Stock rom updated between boots, TWRP non responsive, fastboot doesnt recognise
Hello to anyone that can help or in a similar situation,
Have brand new HTC one mini 2, rooted. Am trying to install cyanogenmod and followed the instructions on their page. All went well and was ready to flash the rom from TWRP. Decided to do a backup to SD first and then apply super user. Forced to reboot and accidentally let it boot to android (stock rom). Didnt notice the last time i had it booted wifi downloaded a system update which was automatically applied next time i booted into the stock rom after backup and Superuser in TWRP. Rebooted to recovery (TWRP) as soon as i could, but TWRP is no longer responding to touch. I realise i have probably updated the phone to a point where TWRP is no longer working, and i have to use something else to flash my rom. Am trying to flash an updated TWRP or Clockworkmod recovery, but fastboot/adb no longer recognise the device when booted into the stock rom, and when i boot into TWRP (non-responsive) it also doesnt recognise the device attached, even if i catch it before the screen goes black from inactivity. Any suggestions greatly appreciated....

I think I have found the solution for myself: I went back into the stock rom and did a factory reset (from within android booted up as normal), which after completion rebooted me into TWRP which now works fine (is responding to touch again, and i can flash the Cyanogen image now). Hopefully this helps someone else in this situation one day, or maybe I am the only idiot that needed to ask hehe. I should clarify that after flashing TWRP I lost access to the fastboot screen and could not push anything over ADB or fastboot commands from windows (plugged in via USB). Holding down volume down and power booted directly into TWRP, and i had no way to get to fastboot screen. After doing factory resent from within the Android OS, holding volume down and power booted me to the fastboot screen, and only when I selected "Recovery" did it take me to TWRP, and I was again able to run fastboot and ADB commands from PC. Weird (or maybe not if you know more than me), but there it is...

I do indeed know the difference between the bootloader and recovery, its just that the bootloader (Hboot) was not longer accessible in my situation and TWRP (the recovery) was imposing itself when you would normally expect to find the bootloader (i.e. my bootloader was for all intents and purposes replaced by my recovery, while I am sure this is not true in fact, it was in effect). As I say, doing a factory reset from within the OS restored the bootloader (HBoot) and I was able to continue modding. I am today extremely happy with my fully secured cyanogenmodded HTC One Mini 2 via TWRP recovery method. I hope that is somewhat clearer.
Can you enter bootliader now? I got stuck in a bootloop once and couldn't enter bootloader because I continued pressing power and Volume down like I did on my One S. For Mini 2, we have to hold the Volume UP and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons.

That may well have been an alternative solution to my problem, however it was fixed by the factory reset and volume down and power then took me to HBoot (this would appear to contradict what you have said above, but maybe volume down and power does different things depending on how what you have done to the phone, not sure), so I cannot confirm whether or not that also would have worked for me. Good suggestion though, especially if you are not in a position to do a factory reset. and it would certainly be easier if it worked...I am convinced my problem was the result of a conflict between the TWRP version i installed (downloaded from here) and the android update that occurred between boots.
I am indeed able to get into bootloader/hboot and successfully flashed cyanogenmod from TWRP. I can confirm post flashing TWRP and Cyanogenmod, holding volume down and power takes me to HBoot (and then the option to go to fastboot or recovery).
Holding power up and power just loads cyanogenmod for me now as if I had just pressed power.
I thought I should confirm whether or not holding volume up vs volume down with power results in bootloader vs recovery loading. For me, they both took me to TWRP.
Also, TWRP doesnt seem to work on HTC One Mini 2 after you do anything to set up your phone. It just doesnt recognise touch input any more so you cant do anything with it. However the fix i noted earlier (factory reset) even works with other roms installed, confirmed for cyanogenmod 11 and 12 nightlies as at the date of this post. After factory reset TWRP works again, but if you go through the setup steps and start installing apps, TWRP goes unresponsive again. I hope we might get an official TWRP update soon!

Xiaomi Mi 3 always reboot to recovery, cannot turn on phone

Hi guys, can anyone pls do help me. been troubleshooting and try to fix this thing for 2 days already.
The problem is, my fon will always boot to recovery. Eventhough i choose restart to system it will always go back to recovery.
I tried turn off, and push the power button only, still it will boot to recovery.
This started happening just a sudden, my fon run out of battery. Then its dead, i recharge. When try boot again the recovery boot problem begin.
I tried to restore my backup that iv made after the fresh installation of the CM13, restoration is good. But it still boot to recovery.

Hi guys, can anyone pls do help me. been troubleshooting and try to fix this thing for 2 days already.
The problem is, my fon will always boot to recovery. Eventhough i choose restart to system it will always go back to recovery.
I tried turn off, and push the power button only, still it will boot to recovery.

Hi bro thanks for suggestion, will do try it out. Iv looked at the solution, but it seems that is a problem if cant use fastboot flash with Mi Flash, I have no problem flashing to stock rom in fastboot. Iv used this solution from this link below to manually flash in the fastboot. Its working for people who are having problem of "MI FLASH PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXIST".

But the problem is still it will boot up to recovery also.

unable to enter recovery mode

ok this is something very strange, and i'm in a hurry right now. first of all, yes, i installed adb and fastboot mode is enable, yes i'm able to connect to adb (through wireless tho, i don't know what's happening with this stupid xperia), i'm able to connect to fastboot mode when connecting usb and pressing volume up, yes, phone is rooted, yes i know how to enter recovery mode by hardware, that means power button + volumen button a few times (i've done this years ago with this same phone), it should go into recovery mode (different from safe mode), and yet once again, unable to go recovery mode, i'm scared right now, i really don't know what is happening to this phone, i have tried absolutely everything i had on hand and searched every solution possible, yet here i am, desperated to seek for a solution :crying:
edit: i forgot to mention i know how to enter recovery mode from command shell, going through adb and typing adb reboot recovery, but is just passing by and jumping that process and going directly to desktop :'( please help
Maybe recovery somehow deleted from your phone so Try to reinstall the recovery again.This sometime happen if your phone bootloader is locked.

Use this XZR recovery installer to install recovery in your phone(need computer).Or use flashify or any other flashing tool from Google play store and download this TWRP 3.0.2 stock recovery img to flash if your phone bootloader is unlocked.
