[Q] Impossible to enter recovery mode

Hi, i've got a rooted xperia T, with unlocked bootloader and clockworkmod recovery installed.
The recovery was working great, but since a few days, i can't enter in recovery mode anymore... every time i try, either the phone starts normally (SONY screen, then XPERIA animation) or there is a white triangle for a few seconds, and then the phone starts normally...
I tried to reinstall it :

But when i want to flash the recovery.img, nothing happens, "waiting for device"...
How can i solve this?
Thanks !

what rom are you on?
If it is a stock based rom then flash doomkernel via fastboot
Extract the kernel.elf from the .zip, put it in fastboot folder and enter the code fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
Or just flash the kernel.elf via flashtool in fastboot mode if you are not familiar with cmd.
Then try to enter recovery again by pressing volume up.
Let us know what happens after that

Solved, thanks!

[Q] flashed recovery but cant boot into recovery

Hi Guys ;
I have unlocked the bootloader of my HTC one and now inside fastboot it shows UNLOCKED. I have also tried to flash both TWRP and CWM recoveries using fastboot method and both finishes with success with no error messages.
but the problem is that I can not boot into recovery. I dont know what happens exactly but seems rebooting into recovery fails and phone reboots again into normal mode so I see the htc boot screen twice and then I am in normal mode.
Do you have any ideas ?
Regards

I finally managed to install TWRP. the trick was to disable fast boot in power settings , then turn off the phone completely and enter hboot and then fastboot.
I was entering fastboot directly through adb and it was not working ! it should be a bug inside bootloader. it should not matter how you enter fastboot , but in this case it does matter ! I hope it helps someone.

Bricked HTC One(writed recovery to boot partition)

Hello dear guru's =)

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)

Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

you "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"? you may want to check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478438&page=3
if that doesn't help, post back

Guys, we have to check if he can boot in bootloader/fastboot.
So, @ZloY909, if you're in recovery, adb can recognize your phone?
And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?

ZloY909 said:
Has the same problem, flashed CWM Recovery to the boot partiotion. Can you give me more info about that magic what you are done to cennect your phone to fastboot? =)
Thanks.

fastboot shouldn't be affected.
when you connect your phone to the PC, does it the text in bootloader change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB"

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?

Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

Problems flashing TWRP on Dev Edition Moto X

I have a Dev Edition Moto X. I have recently unlocked the Bootloader. I have tried flashing TWRP recovery. Here are the commands I have used:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img​
It says it is successful, but when I when I try to go into recovery it loads into Stock recovery.
My guess is the write lock is still enabled, but I have not been able to find a way to disable the write lock when on 5.1
Any help would be awesome!

"fastboot reboot recovery" should be your last step

After I flash TWRP, I unplug the USB cable, and power it off. Then I boot back into bootloader mode and try to boot into Recovery and the phone powers off. If I boot back up into Android and run 'adb reboot recovery' it boots into stock recovery.
Thoughts?

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot into recovery.

You're doing it wrong is my thought. Use the fastboot (not adb) reboot recovery command immediately after flashing twrp. No one said anything about powering off and rebooting first.

Thanks, I was missing 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' then it worked! I know it must be something stupid simple I wasn't doing!
Thanks again!

Stock Recovery is reflashed when booting directly.
reboot-bootloader allows TWRP to patch the system not to do so.

Cannot get into recovery mode [bootloop]

Hey I cannot get into recovery mode, I don't really know why. This morning everything was ok: I rebooted my phone into recovery mode as usually, with no problems. THEN I rebooted my phone from the custom recovery, and then my phone went to bootloop: The bootloader screen went to black, then to my lockscreen and then to the bootloader screen, then to my lockscreen... etc. (bootloop)
I rebooted into recovery again and tried to do a normal wipe, because usually that's everything I need. But nothing happened: bootloop again.
So, I went to recovery once more to perform a full wipe and erase the data. Then I tried to flash CM13 and the Gapps, but nothing happend. Now, I cannot get into recovery, I'm stuck in the TWRP screen.
Help?
Sorry my bad english
My phone isn't rooted. I just unlock the bootloader

I had the same problem
It's easy just flash a newer version of Twrp using ADB fastboot from PC = problem solved

Thanks! Can you guide me step by step?

Thanks bro, but I just tried that, even changing the recovery for CWM, but nothing happened. I'm still stuck. The screen blinks with the recovery logo.
I have no system, so... Maybe I'm totally bricked. I don't really know if I can flash some ROM with the fastboot
