Bootloop - Recovery not working

Hi Everyone,
Don't know what I did wrong but at the moment i stucked with a bootloop. I was trying to flash a 4.4 Rom on a Cyanogenmod 4.2.2
Now I can enter in bootloader but not into the recovery. When I try to boot into recovery it simply tries to boot the phone.
Bootloader i unlocked (it says tampered) but S-ON.
Tried to fastboot the recovery of clockworkmod but still can't enter in it.
How I can restore the phone to its original factory image?
Thnaks

It's seems you are not the only one.
Enter bootloader and choose fastboot.
Then run a command prompt in your PC, cd to the fastboot folder and write fastboot flash recovery filename.img
I suggest you download and flash twrp 2.6.3.0
Then check if the recovery has been installed successfully.If yes, go into recovery and type in the command prompt in your PC the following:
Adb push filename.Rom /data/media/0
Filename.zip stands for the Rom you wanna flash. After its done you can flash that file with twrp

I think the cache just needs wiping with the command:
fastboot erase cache
Worked for me once or twice

thanks guys,
as i said i already tried to flash the recovery with the fastboot flash command.
I tried CMW and TWRP... but still can't enter into the recovery.
I have to try the erase cache command....
will let you know!

Did you find a solution? I am in the same boat and it is actually quite annoying.

Thanks. Unfortunately I cannot boot in to the custom recovery. It skips the recovery and jumps directly to the google screen.

Unfortunately I've typed fastboot erase cache until I'm blue in the face and it still will not boot into the custom recovery. Trust me, I wish I could get it to work for me.

Sure! H-boot 1.54, s -On, I have tried both locked and unlocked (via fasboot oem lock and unlock). I originally tried CWM touch, then gave TWRP a try. No luck booting to either. I get success on the cmd with loading, but cannot get it into recovery. I select recovery from the fastboot menu and the phone vibrates, then a second later "Google" appears.
Version of recovery:
CWM 6.0.3.1 and and 6.0.4.3
TWRP: 2.6.6.3 m7

what is "******** Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?" how come I never get that
is your adb sdk newer or older than mine? I'm still using:

Question, are you on GPE hboot (the black one) or normal (the white one)?

1- recommend updating adb sdk, mine isnt even the latest, i think latest is something like 1.0.3xx
2- don't know if this will work in GPE hboot, but try "fastboot boot <recovery>.img", it used to work on 1.44, but stopped on 1.54+, maybe on GPE it still works.

I think his recovery partition might be corrupt.. @mike1986. wrote an article about corrupt data partitions(http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ch/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html) I think it was you who sent me that link.. well.. do you know if it is possible to use some of this commands?

EDIT:
Did you flash D405_v20a_patched_aboot if not, you need to flash D405_v20a_patched_aboot

i also have same poblem d415

me too...same problem D415 tmobile version

Does anyone with this problem have an lg d-415 and android with root? Because I think these commands in a terminal emulator or in an adb shell will fix fastboot:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
Or if that doesn't work try this >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...ick-hard-bricked-l90-variants-t3173429/page24
I think this problem is caused by people not unlocking the bootloader.

Same error on LG D415

PLEASE HELP. I'm getting the same error on my LG D415. They said on the other thread that this variant comes with the bootloader already unlocked but whenever i try to enter a command (e.g fastboot flash laf laf.img) or pretty much every command I enter (except fastboot getvar all and fastboot devices), I get the same message FAILED (remote: unknown command). My android is now stuck on the T-mobile logo whenever I try to power it up and I can't flash because download mode has been replaced with fastboot.

If you can boot android you need to go into developer options (tap 7 times in the build in Settings/about). IN developer options enable the Allow OEM unlock options and then just use the fastboot command to unlock bootloader. *fastboot oem unlock*

Well since you have fastboot, why don't you try flashing stock recovery? Then you could flash a full rom zip from there if it worked. That or make sure you are using the right files for your device in the unbrick tool.
Edit: Nevermind. Your bootloader is locked so idk.
Edit2: Does your PC recognize the device as being in fastboot?

Fastboot Recovery? Getting g.co/ABH Error On Boot

I flashed the Android Wear 2.0 OTA update and now the watch won't boot. I get the "Device Software Can't Be Checked For Corruption" error and it's telling me to go to g.com/ABH.
It won't go into recovery mode, but will go into fastboot mode. I grabbed the stock images from here, and flashed the stock boot, system, and recovery imgs, but the error persists.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...stock-zenwatch-3-partition-dump-boot-t3535589
Am I screwed? Or is there something I could do to recover?
Thanks.

Did you unlock the bootloader?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 5X met Tapatalk

Wait for about 10 seconds when the warning appears. The watch will continue it's boot after 10 secs.

I thought I had initially. I hadn't turned the watch on for a while, but decided to get it set up yesterday when I saw news of the 2.0 update hit. It originally had the first firmware on it and wouldn't update to 2.0 (adb would fail to find the watch).
So, I flashed MWF76 from the link in my earlier post. And that worked properly -- the watch booted normally, set up the apps, the right build number was showing, etc.
When that was done I tried to flash the 2.0 update again. And this time the watch was being recognized properly with adb. The flash procedure seemed to go without a hitch, but I got the g.co/ABH error on first boot.
And if you let the watch sit for 10 seconds, it only boots into Fastboot mode. You can't enter recovery. If you try to enter recovery with the vol-down+power button combo, you see recovery for a split second and then it goes right to fastboot.
At the moment it appears the bootloader is locked again.

Still experimenting. Hoping someone with more knowledge may be able to help.
Fastboot oem unlock reports that the bootloader is already unlocked.
Tried flashing all of the IMGs in MFW76 and these flash successfully:
boot
system
recovery
modem
asusfw
But when trying to flash these, the flash fails because it says the bootloader is locked. Trying fastboot oem unlock again reports the bootloader is unlocked, but still can not flash these...
devinfo
factory
misc
modemst1
modemst2
oem
splash
Tried fastboot flashing unlock_critical, and the watch shows part of a message, but I can't see if there's anything to do on...pressing the top or bottom buttons changes the color of the bg.

Go into bootloader, unlock bl, flash everything and then reboot back into bootloader and lock it.

Thanks for the help -- tried this and still no luck.
Since I can't get into recovery mode and use adb to try reflashing 2.0, would it be possible to create a flashable .ZIP file from the 2.0 update that can be flashed from Fastboot mode?

That's the same file that's been shared repeatedly; it requires flashing in recovery mode using adb. If you try to flash this with fastboot, you get an error that says "update package xxx.zip has no andriod-info.txt"

Your right, this file is not fastboot compatible. (my error)
This is what I used and flashed when I upgraded to v2.0 Android Wear.
To flash this you need to use ADB SIDELOAD filename.zip.
OR if you can boot into twrp you can install it from there too.

Good luck, have a great day!

That's exactly what I had done initially and what ultimately bricked the watched. Can't boot into any recovery, unfortunately. Just boots directly to Fastboot mode.

I'd try to get the watch running 1.5 first via fastboot.

See my post in the other thread linked here, specifically my edits.
I did boot, recovery, then system, and did "fastboot format userdata" instead of "fastboot erase userdata"

I have the same issue. Zenwatch 3 just boots to Fastboot Mode after manual update to Android Wear 2.0 . I can`t enter recovery mode and try to reflash it.
Do you have any ideas, what should I do?

You need to flash stock kernel in fastboot before you can do anything else.
( FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT BOOT.IMG )
Here is the the link to the stock Android Wear 1.5 boot.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dudeyq9rjsrag2i/boot.img?dl=0
(The boot.img is the kernel)
If worse comes to worse, you need to flash full android wear stock 1.5 firmware to get your watch working.
Here are the full instructions how to go back to go back to stock android wear v1.5 firmware.
This link also contains the download link for the full android wear original stock v1.5 firmware:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-3/how-to/guide-how-to-revert-to-android-wear-1-5-t3635196
First simply try to flash the boot.img in fastboot and reboot the watch before flashing the stock 1.5 firmware.

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn`t help!
I have got the same issue as the topicstarter had. Flashing to the STOCK firmware doesn`t do anything. It stills shows Getting g.co/ABH Error on Boot and after 10 seconds it goes to Fastboot mode.

Your bootkoader is unlocked...
After using fastboot before reboot you need to lock the bootloadet by using.the command below.
FASTBOOT OEM LOCK
Then you can boot successfully ..
The error message you saw is normal if you have not locked your bootloader.
Good luck.. Have a great day.

Sorry but this doesn`t help.
My watches are booting only in Fastboot mode.
So i do next steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
After reboot, watches still boots straight in Fastboot mode.
Maybe I should flash something from AW 2.0 to repair the watch ?

You must have flashed the wrong boot.img (which is the kernel)
Make 100% sure that you are flashing the correct kernel and
don't issue the command "fastboot format userdata".
All you need is:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
then oem lock bootloader
What was the exact filename of the ziip file
which had the 3 IMG files in it?
Here is the link for the zip file which contains the correct IMG files in it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tz9bg5fggpfn2q6/swift_partition_dump_part1_MWG68.zip?dl=1
unlock bootloader, flash the three img files, lock bootloader
and issue this fastboot command: " fastboot reboot "
Don't flash anything else and don't format anything...
Good luck, have a great day!

Misterjunky, thank you for your replies!

I cant flash the recovery in my honor 4x

hello to all, accidentally delete the recovery of my smartphone and I have not been able to flash it using adb commands in Windows 10 therefore I can not restore the smartphone to the factory mode. please help

What error it gives when you type command 'fastboot flash recovery <recovery_file>'?
How did you deleted the recovery?
Also the end ("I can not restore the computer from the factory") doesn't make any sense.

2. the error that gives me is the following:

Can you still boot normally and do you have root access?
---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------
Also try to re-unlock bootloader and if it doesn't work, re-lock and then unlock again. So we can be sure you don't have problems with that, because possible fix would otherwise make your phone worse.

Well then your best choice is probably to try to re-install firmware and hope this does something. Do it with dload and force update method, because it doesn't use default recovery.
Or if you happen to have root access you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en or similiar app to flash recovery while device running. (Or 'dd' command)

Nothing works

I had a similar problem: in fastboot I can install twrp successfully, but when I reboot, boot always to the stock emui recovery...
I don't know why.
I thought it was already installed twrp, I don't know why now boots to the stock one...
Does anyone can help me? Thanks.
