Hey guys.
Yesterday, something weird happend.
I wanted to flash an update (kernel) so I powered off my phone and started it as usual to get into recovery. But the only thing it does, was to start up into fastboot mode.
I'm being able to boot the ROM with
"fastboot continue" when connected to th PC.
First, I thought the recovery was broken so I reflashed it. Nothing happend. Only fastboot mode.
Then reflashed magisk, in the hope it will solve my issue. Nothing.
So what could it be? A broken boot.img? How could it be fixed? Still annoying
Hi,
Are you able to boot into recovery using fastboot boot recovery.img?

yes. that did it. After that, I was being able to power on as usual but not being able to start recovery. not via TRWP or via Vol+Up + Power or even Advanced Reboot -> Recovery.
So, could a reinstallation of the ROM solve the issue?

Ugh... Sorry I'm a but confused
So you flashed the recovery, booted into recovery via fastboot, and you could move around in the TWRP. Is my understanding correct?
Well if you don't have any data, nothing hurts to reinstall the ROM I guess

I'm only able to boot into recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img as you mentioned (I guess it's loaded directly from my HD to the phone but doesn't stay there ). Booting into recovery via Vol-Up+Power doesn't work anymore...

Weird. Haven't encountered this in rn10pro. But something similar happened on my previous phone I remember and that time flashing recovery, booting into it, then restarting to recover had worked. You can give it a shot.
If not wait for a better answer or flash the ROM

I already did that but I'm not being able to start recovery (TWRP) with Vol-Up+Power. It always loads my device into fastboot mode..

maybe you should try a fastboot flash of the stock rom for your region. Be careful not to lock the bootloader again. And patient, it takes about 5 minutes...

Didn't work. Always starts in fastboot. Already tried to flash twrp via twrp but didn't helped.
So I tried to flash my ROM again and that did the trick .
Phone boots normally and I'm able to boot into recovery via advanced restart and Vol-Up+Power.
Thank you guys, for trying to solve the issue.
Man did u find the solution? @Lycox
I have the same fkcing problem

Hello XDA I'm new to these forums but i'm hoping you can help me out.
So basically I was following a youtube video I was linked to by a guide on here on how to root my One. and everything was going smoothly and then i got to the stage where i was to boot into recovery mode so i could load into twrp. But what happens on my phone now is the loading screen for recovery mode where it says for developers only ect. will just hang there for a while then the phone will shut off and boot back into regular mode. could use some help. I wouldn't mind resetting and starting fresh if that's what's needed im just not sure how to. thank you guys!

do you have sdk tools installed on your computer.
make sure usb debugging is on, apperently you do.
did you put the recovery image in the folder where fastboot is then run cmd(as administrator) and cd to that folder(example/:cd c:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools or where ever you have it)then adb reboot bootloader>enter----Then fastboot flash recovery(name of recovery image).img>enter--- then type fastboot reboot recovery

no i wouldn't think you do, it just overwrites the other, you're sure your bootloader is unlocked, check in settings under development option to make sure debugging is on.man you got me stumped here.

Hey guys, I need some major help!
I was trying to update my phone earlier today, when I flashed Android Revolution HD 40.3 something very bad happened!
For some reason the ROM did not install properly, and I can't get back into recovery. I was using TWRP and the loading screen comes up for it, but it never fully launches.
I can get into the bootloader, and I tried using the Toolkit under fastboot. It seems like my phone is detected, but when I try and flash anything it doesnt work. Ive flashed both TWRP and clockword. They seem to flash because it will show the loading screen of either one, but it never actually enters the recovery. What should I do?
My phone is S-ON, I am not sure if that is what caused the problem/is what is keeping this an issue.
Thanks for your help

Does the phone just reboot before it enters recovery? I would try manually flashing a custom recovery image. Here is a link to the exact image I used.

It's very straightforward once you have fast boot setup. Don't worry I've been in your situation myself!

My phone was S-ON at the time, I recently gained S-OFF. You should still be able to flash a new recovery with S-ON. S-OFF is usually only needed for flashing new radios or firmwares.

How did you flash the recovery? Like I've said, I tried flashing a new recovery via the Toolkit. They do seem to flash, but I cant access the recovery. I'm not sure if my bootloader was relocked or what, but it doesn't go past the intro screen for TWRP or Clockwork

It could be possible that the toolkit is installing an incorrect version maybe? Switch off your phone. Once off hold vol - and power the phone on. This should load up HBOOT and tell you the boot loader status.
This is how I flashed recovery. I entered fastboot and used the commands from that link to flash a new recovery image. Have you used fastboot commands before?

To be honest, I'm pretty new to the fastboot commands. I usually follow guides to root, and flashing ROMs is pretty straightforward.

If you have fastboot setup and working, just boot the phone into fastboot mode and use the commands in that link I gave you.
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Then simply highlight "recovery", tap the power button and the phone should load up clockwordmod recovery.

So im stuck with my nexus with no OS... after flashing pure shamu it booted to just a password box... I input my password and it said i had corrupt data. I hit reset... wiped phone... all files GONE... Now what do i do. I cant mount to put recovery on.... I cant do anyting with this phoen right now... anyone had this happen... If so what steps to remedy?
Sounds like you need to try and fastboot the original google files, nuke and repave....
flash the stock img then start again
Flashing stock as we speak... was hoping another optino.... but after years of doing this I kinda know better... live and learn

Power off the device. Once completely shut down, hold power and volume down until bootloader screen appears. Then use the volume keys to select recovery. Then push power to select.
from your original post, it says your not running twrp anymore. have you tried just letting the phone try to boot up? have you tried reflashing twrp to your phone via fastboot. id try, and if its successful, id push a rom to my phone then. if not, try flashing a factory img.

im really stupid, i was installing twrp, i did a advanced wipe to afterwards install a custom rom, and when my phone was done wiping i accidentally pushed the power button and turned of my phone. now it is stuck in fastboot mode. i tried reinstalling twrp but i can't boot into twrp, it keeps turning on in fastboot mode

After flashing TWRP and still in fastboot, hold power and vol+. Keep both held while it reboots, it takes a few seconds. When the Redmi logo appears and the phone vibrates release the power button. Keep holding the vol+ button until it boots into TWRP.

this was the first thing i tried, but it keeps rebooting to fastboot, if i hold it longer it wil just reboot again. i've tried miflash, but miflash can't find a flash all.bat and when i go into explorer i can't find it either.
problem solved, i installed another version of twrp, deleted it and reinstalled the first one. thanks for all answers, it really helped along
Hey glad to hear you solved the issue. What version of TWRP did you end up flashing and what tool did you use to flash it? I'm facing a similar issue.

I can't answer for OP, but he looks to have abandoned the thread.
What I can recommend from personal experience is that using latest version of TWRP - I think it's 4.3.3 (can't tell you exactly, as I'm writing this without checking my laptop on which I have the TWRP and ROM files) - will resolve all your problems.
Thanks for your reply I actually just managed to get root/TWRP/Magisk to work. A lot of the TWRP recovery images that I encountered just caused the phone to boot loop or get stuck on fastboot mode.
The TWRP that worked for me was twrp-3.3.1-15-raphael-mauronofrio.img
following:

I am also having this issue, after doing the exact same thing you did...
Would you be able to post the download link you got your TWRP version from? And maybe go into a little more detail about the reinstalling order (if that is important)?
Also the "mauronofrio" version didn't work (I have the Mi 9T), are there any other options out there?
Many thanks for any responses

Did you ever get this solved? I'm in a similar situation after what I thought was a normal ROM flashing.
EDIT: Nevermind. Got it fixed using MiFlash.

Hey sorry didn't see your reply... I haven't had time in the last month to look at it so I'm still stuck. How did you fix it using MiFlash? Did you make it force load TWRP onto the phone or something?
I think there is definitely something wrong with the partition, as when I plug it into the computer it no longer comes up in "my computer" - although I do have the MIUI recovery working again.
Cheers

thanks in advance

I just flashed a full fastboot MIUI ROM in fastboot using the MiFlash portable tool. No need to do anything in recovery.
Edit: You can find fastboot ROMs from the OP of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647/ (labeled as ...fastboot)

I'm still not able to get TWRP working... I think all of my problems will be solved as soon as I can get into it, but each time I load the recovery image on (using command prompt) it says it completes, but when I try to reboot it into recovery mode it never works (if I use command prompt to reboot into recovery it just shuts down but if I hold the button combination it either reboots back into fastboot or the original MIUI recovery mode - and yes, I am using the right button combinations).
I've tried every version of TWRP I could find, so I'm certain its not a problem with the recovery image itself... Have you or anyone else had this happen before? It's so infuriating that it just doesn't work, but I don't know why...
BTW the commands I'm using are
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
(which works) and then
Code:
fastboot boot "recovery.img"
(which gives 2 OKs, but the phone just turns off).
(this all after setting the directory to my adb folder)

I've been at this for three days and can't find a solution. I can get in to recovery but when I hit reboot to bootloader it gets stuck in download mode. I can get back out.And the cycle repeats.... Have also done a reset. Any solutions for this besides sending it in for service? Thanks
Have you analyzed the logs available through recovery mode?

Don't do anything hastily. Your phone should be fully operational before you install TWRP.

Huh??? Reboot to bootloader is SUPPOSED to take to download mode. Where are you trying to get?

It does take me there..It freezes at download mode!!!!
So you can’t boot to system? Or you can’t use download mode?

The system works fine. Just can't use download mode..Not allowing to connect with adb fastboot.

You need to explain what you mean by that and what things you did before this occured. Have you tried getting to download manually? By that I mean turning the tablet off and then holding vol up and down while plugging in the USB cable to the PC. Also, what happens when you try to boot to system?

Ah, so your problem is only that you can't use fastboot. Have you installed TWRP? This model doesn't support fastboot by itself. You have to first install TWRP to use fastboot.

You need to read this thread to install TWRP. You do it with Odin and not fastboot. Odin is what Samsung uses INSTEAD of fastboot.
I cannot install TWRP,..
1.I Shut down
2.Press power and Vol up button
3.Gets in Recovery
4. I scroll to Reboot to bootloader
5. Goes into download mode. Freezes
6.Press power and Vol down buttons
7.Goes back to home screen
8. Rinse and repeat

Do you have Odin running? Do you get the "added message" in Odin? That is the only way to tell if it is connected. You say it "freezes" but that is normal. So long as you get the added notice in Odin, you are ready to flash. If you don't get the "added" message, then you have to enter the download mode manually and NOT from the recovery menu. Also, have you unlocked the bootloader? That has to be the very first step. Nothing will work till you do that.

I think I know what your problem is. You've had other tablets and have always used fastboot for rooting, unlocking and flashing. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. Samsung doesn't work like other tablets. The ONLY time you use fastboot with this device is AFTER you have unlocked it, installed TWRP, rooted and want to install a GSI ROM. You DO NOT use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, root the tablet or flash TWRP, stock ROMs or custom ROMs. You can find instruction for unlocking the bootloader here. It is for the A7 but the A8 unlocks the same way. Then use the other link I posted for installing TWRP.
ONG he was using fastboot.

My understanding is different. The problem is that the download mode can't be started because there is a hangup. So how can you use Odin, which requires a working phone in download mode?
