[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.

Yes .... Exactly i flashed cwm via fastboot ... Writing recovery ok ... But when i tried to enter " the device freeze on install update package and i cannot make anything... Thanks

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

[Q] TWRP Tries to load but fails

Hi, I have an htc one m7 verizon. I am currently running nusense 7.8. I wanted to update to v8.0. Anyway I go to recovery from the menu and the screen goes black like it is going to the team win logo but it goes back to the white screen that says entering recovery. It stays on that screen until I power plus volume down. I am confused because twrp loaded fine. I have tried cwm as well. no recovery software will load. The phone boots to nusense 7.8 fine. Anyone know what would cause recovery software not to load?

Try flashing the latest version of TWRP through Fastboot to see if the issue resolves. Make sure you use TWRP for the Verizon M7.

Thanks for throwing up the link clsA. I was about to do that a minute ago when my phone died. Lol.

I will give twrp 2.8.0.1 a try. I have tried several versions but not that one.

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-m7wlv.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader[/QUOTE]
I tried the above and I am still getting stuck with the white screen green htc logo and entering recovery at the top. I am happy with nusense 7.8 except for youtube not working. I do have some backups that are useless when twrp will not load. Maybe it is time to ruu this phone.

I installed the ruu VZW.M7.5.28.605.2.PN0731IMG.zip. It installed ok. I am still s off and rooted. I used flashify to flash twrp 2.8.0.1. My phone still will not load a recovery app.......I wonder if this is a hardware issue?

Anybody have any ideas? everything on my phone works accept the ability to load the recovery software. Like I said I was able to install an RUU file with fastboot. I would really like to get twrp working so I can backup and restore again.

I think I found my issue. I am pretty sure my recovery partition is hosed. The command fastboot format recovery fails. I get this message:
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw.
Anybody know how to rebuild a corrupted recovery partition?

recovery partition is a raw partition, the only EXT4 partitions are /system, /cache, and /data
can you copy/paste your command prompt output as you do the fastboot commands that clsA gave you.

I have tried flashify, and also an ruu version of twrp. still no go.

Have you tried turning s on, relocking bootloader, running RUU, doing factory reset in Stock recovery and then unlocking and installing TWRP? It is worth a shot I assure you. I had problems with TWRP about a month back and this solved it for me.

I think I soft bricked my phone. flashing "no command"

I've got a moto x '14 verizon XT1096. Tried to use fastboot to load twrp to eventually get to install Cm13. However, it threw this message:

Dumbass me thought it would be a good idea to unplug the device and simply try again. Well, what a bad decision. The phone now flashes the "no command" robot on it's back. yes, flashes. i can get back to fastboot, but after this i'm not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance. I'm fairly new at this, be easy on me.

Try this. This is my mini guide I wrote in another thread.
Well, at first I tried to flash twrp through fastboot but the original recovery override the twrp recovery.
So, what I did, instead of flashing, I just temporary booted into twrp.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img (and not fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)
Then phone booted into twrp, I flash supersu 2.46.
Then I easily downloaded twrp manager from google play and installed twrp recovery to my xt1096.
Have fun

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.

Question Problem entering/flashing custom recovery

Hello everyone I have been havinng some issues with my realme 8 RMX 3085. I was planning to install Lineage OS and custom recovery. I followed tutorials on xda. Fortunately i unlocked bootloader with official method - deeptest.apk, to do this firstly I flashed rom with thailand one. Everything seems to be succesfull, in settings bootloader is unlocked.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

OKAY [ 0.451s]
finished. total time: 5.788s
However after that I am not able to enter recovery (even stock one). I kept flashing recovery image via fastboot. Everything seems to be all right until I try to enter it. Using command fastboot reboot recovery nothing happens. Another one adb reboot recovery tries to enter recovery several times with no success, then reboot to os.
I read couple of threads about that issue, tried using different computers, with different os - still the same. Tried using different cables and usb ports also nothing changed.
Does anyone have any idea what can couse the problem? Appreciate any advices.

Same here, trying few days but nobody help

Ok..did you installed magisk by flashing magisk patched boot.img ? If yes..then you need to restore/flash stock boot.img to enter recovery..this problem occurs on android 12 only..
