Hi there,
I have a rooted and unlocked UK T-Mobile Atrix.
After following the CM7 Beta instructions up to this point:
While in Recovery install CM7 from internal storage
After installation select Data Wipe/Factory Reset
Then Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot system now
Watch awesome boot animation.
I rebooted, but have not seen the awesome boot animation (and I so want to see it) and am now stuck on the initial Dual Core splash screen.
I noted from a couple of posts in the CM7 thread that using Tenfar's CWM may be the cause of the issue.
Unfortunately I am unsure what to do now to fix my mistake and get a rom on the phone and boot it.
Please can someone help?
Thanks
Well...i got the same problem, maybe more worst....i`m stuck on S E logo for 7-10 seconds and after is rebooting again alone and again, i`m not able to go to xrecovery mode and as well i cannot to stay connected on my computer with the phone...is any chance to repair my phone or is time to drop on my recycle bin? Thanks!
I managed to find a solution (should have searched harder...) I followed these instructions here "code(.)google(.)com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/BackupRestore"
Flashing CWM Recovery via Fastboot
Download the latest CWM recovery from Downloads section (recovery-cwm-ext4.img)
Power off phone
Put phone into fastboot (Power + Vol Down Button)
Press Volume Up button to select Fastboot
Connect phone via USB cable
Open Command Prompt from your fastboot directory
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (no quotation marks)
Type "fastboot reboot"
Followed by pressing volume down during the reboot, then pressing volume down repeatedly until Android Recovery appears on screen then pressing up. This allowed me to reapply the CM7 rom and all was good.
I'm not sure if this helps you Hellspawm, but good luck.
BLESS YOU! you helped out a noob in distress I had the exact same problem and it's fixed now.

I have a Xoom WiFi on Android 4.1.2
I was trying to Unlock, Flash Recovery, Root and then Flash a Rom. I have Flashed on my phone a couple of times so I am a little familiar with the process.
I did the following:
1.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
2.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "name of file".img. (the file i used was "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-wingray.img").
3.
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
This is where things go wrong.
Upon reboot,
I press down volume upon seeing the logo.
It then says Android Recovery.
I then press up volume.
then it says entering Android Recovery Mode
reading ODM Fuse:1
Then the Green Android man shows up with the red triangle.
It sits there for a while then boots into Android normally.
I have been searching for a solution since this morning. Everything I found about this has not helped.
Earlier in the day I did Flash a different Recovery so I think I have two. I installed the ROM manger app. It shows two installed.

Please follow the Root Method mentioned in the 2nd Post of LAIOT thread . You can easily find it within the Development Forum , or my signature.
"This Story Ends Where It Began" - Octavarium (Dream Theater)
Sent from my GT-I9505
One of the files link is broken.
The requested URL /atftas/OEM/Motorola/XOOM/Xoom-Universal-Root.zip2 was not found on this server.
I have another problem.
Now I have two devices. If I unplug the Xoom it still finds emulator 5554. What is emulator 5554?
Thanks
Jim
I got around the emulator 5554 problem by using the -d option. I followed everything and all went fine. I installed the app Root Checker Basic but it says Sorry! this device does not have proper root access.
All steps completed with no errors.
I guess I'm stuck again.
Jim
I flashed back to stock. Did all the steps again and the same thing.
I tried several more times and it still would not work.
I went to another site and downloaded the root.zip and it worked this time. The root file on this site would not work for for some reason.
The Android man with the red triangle problem is also gone. Not sure what fixed it. I assume that it was because I flashed back to stock and used a different root.zip file.
Thanks for all the help

Hi Guys, I'm in a bit of a panic with my Nexus.
Looked in my pocked yesterday and the phone was randomly in a boot loop, just getting up to the google logo, then rebooting.. this was weird as the phone was working throughout the day. The day before I had installed Faux v5 (and I have cataclysms rom)..
Followed the instructions from [TUTORIAL] How to flash a factory image | Return to stock | Unroot your Nexus 5
to rever to stock image.
I run the flash-all.bat (using method 1 from Post1), which seems to complete successfully (writes to the device and it reboots a few times), but after this the phone gets stuck at the Google logo,
I cant get to the final two steps (which is wipe data/factory data reset), because in the step before where I select recovery, it just boots back to the google logo - no recovery. It will stay there all day, unless I hold power & volume down, then I can get back to the bootloader.
Since this failed (I have flashed the flash-all batch twice using different usb ports... but no joy.
If I run the fastboot device info, - it correctly shows my bootloader is unlocked...
I have tried to relock it, but hit the same problem, (if I run the fastboot boot c:\twrp.img etc) - it just wont boot into a recovery..
I am at a loss.. any help would be greatly appreciated...
I have also tried flashing a custom recovery (twrp & cwm), and I have the same problem with both.. they flash, but then I can get to the bootloader, but cant launch a recovery.. just gets stuck in a bootloop...
THANKS!
reboot bootloader (power + vol down)
go into recovery (the red triangle)
open up the recovery menu (power + vol up)
wipe cache
The problem I am having is I cant get into recovery.
I get into fastboot mode, I then hit volume up twice (to change from start > to recovery >).
I then hit power. But instead of a red! I get the Google Logo.. and I am back where I started.
Volume up & power does nothing, all I can do is Vol down & power, then I am back at the bootloader.. no recovery..
EDIT: IT FINALLY WORKED! I just flashed an older version of twrp. Pretty weird how that's working and the newer one isn't. Should I keep this post for people with the same problem?
I know about the problem with cm12s and with the cm recovery thing.
I tried everything. Searched and tried nearly all of the different recovery or root install tutorials. But it's still not working!
Every time I install a recovery (both twrp and cwm) it won't install even though it said it worked. When I do the "remove usb, vol down + power" trick after flashing it just won't boot. It just shows the logo and then it reboots. If I release everything it boots my phone up normally. Even clicking recovery reboot in the reboot menu doesn't work. Then it will bring me to the cyanogen recovery.
My debugging mode is on.
Cyanogen recovery update is OFF.
I'm now using cm12.1s but it didn't work on cm12s either.
ADB and Fastboot are working fine. I tested it and my phone reacts when I give it commands (like fastboot reboot or adb devices)
My bootloader is unlocked (confirmed with fastboot oem device-info)
I just got this phone yesterday. I didn't expect this much trouble with just rooting.
ps: this is one of those "it should work, but it doesn't" moments.
Yes. After cm12 the cyanogenmod is ignoring the cyanogen off recovery mark.
After flashing recovery twrp via fastboot, direct reboot to recovery manually via button. Try look at faq. See q22. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/faq-oneplus-one-frequently-questions-t2895136
Always keep a post like this, it's good for future reference (people having the same question will thank you for sure)!
Use Philz recovery. Many are facing same issues with TWRP

Just like every other method I've tried, that method doesn't seem to work either.
Hi Benalimarwan,
Thanks for your post. I flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-bacon.img. but, it still didn't work. When I logged into recovery mode it still logged into cynogen recovery. Which version of twrp did you flash? Thanks!

Works for me from latest stable CM12
1. Unlocking Bootloader via fastboot
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
2. USB Debugging -
On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
3. Disable CM Recovery Protection -
On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the 'Update recovery with system updates' option.
4. Installing a Custom Recovery
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img
got it from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/bacon (one recommends don't use 2.8.7)
reboot to system
5. Flash your custom recovery again, but after flashing don't do a normal reboot. (DONT FORGOT TO Disable CM Recovery Protection first in normal boot before)
After the flash has succeeded disconnect the usb cable, then power down the phone by holding the power button down, once it's powered off use the power + volume down button combo to boot directly into recovery. This first forced reboot into recovery somehow subverts what was keeping it from staying flashed and all subsequent normal reboots into recovery will boot into the custom recovery of your choice.
gawd i nearly went out of my mind last night trying to flash TWRP , everything was working fine , fastboot checked out , unlocked the OEM also but it refused to flash TWRP , threw up errors "cannot open recovery' then i remembered the "hide file extensions for known file types" in win7 which was checked and ran
fastboot flash recovery rec[TAB]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.i.e hit tab button before hitting enter and it flashed it like a charm !! and i was already to throw this new cell out of my window
Please help me understand Step 5.
Once 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img' is completed, I shouldn't do a 'fastboot reboot'. Instead of that disconnect USB, and then Poweroff using power button. Now use Power + Volume down to boot into recovery. This should allow me to use twrp recovery. Is my understanding correct?
Regards,
Kiran
Hi Guys,
Just did step 5 again.
Did 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img' and disconnected USB, Powered off the device and powered it on using Volume down + Power button. It logged into twrp recovery. I then selected 'Install' and phone automatically got rebooted. Not sure why. I powered it off and powered on again using volume down + Power buttons. It then logged into CM recovery.
Repeated above step again. Again faced same issue. Any ideas?
I unlocked boot loader 4/5 days back. Since twrp recovery was not working, I continued using phone. Installed several apps. Do you think this might be an issue? Do I have to unlock boot loader again and then do 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img'??? Please suggest
Regards,
Kiran
Do it this way with fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (you know the drill...)
when this is completed type in fastboot reboot
BUT MOST IMPORTANT! hold the volume down button on your opo the whole time before you press enter to run the command and keep holding it until TWRP boots up.
This worked on 5 OPO's. (3 were mine, one was my brother's and one is a friend's)
im too on stock 12.1..So which twrp recovery version ll i flash????

Wug's Bacon Root Toolkit
I had this problem when I tried flashing the custom recovery (TWRP) manually. It didn't matter what I tried, I could never manage to make TWRP persist over CM Recovery after a reboot. After giving up and staying in stock for some time, I decided to try again after getting the OTA to CM 12.1S, but, as no surprise, the same thing still happened. So, as a last try, I downloaded Wug's Bacon Root Toolkit and voila... it finally worked, I had a TWRP that persisted over CM Recovery after a reboot. I don't know what the toolkit did different than me when I did it manually, but it managed to make it work! Hopefully it also works for you...
only used toolkit for Fastboot driver installation...Good step by step instructions...but flashed 2.8.7.0 twrp with adb commands as described by Heisenberb...finally installed recovery n rooted my opo...

AcmE85, Your suggestion worked like a charm bro. Finally was able to fix the issue. Thanks much for your help!
Hello, I bought a OnePlus one (came with CM11 - 4.4.4) and followed the standard steps to root it
1) unlock bootloader - successful, phone got factory reset, checked the status using fastboot
2) Flash custom recovery (TWRP) using fastboot - always "okay" message
3) The phone DOES NOT boot to recovery after this - it gets stuck at the 1+ logo, or remains stuck for a few seconds and goes to normal reboot. -I've tried using fastboot to reboot phone while holding down volume button
Please help! i've look this problem up and haven't found a solution.
I tried 2.7.0.0, and the latest 2.8.5.1, along with 2.8.6.0, along with trying to use the one plus tool kit. Using the toolkit, even flashing the stock recovery, then booting it didn't work.
after you flash recovery in fastboot, do not issue the fastboot reboot command. you need to manually power off the phone by keeping the power button pressed till it powers off

As the other posted mentioned you have to fastboot flash twrp (2.8.6.0) then power off phone and use volume down + power button combo to get to recovery. Its flashing but if you boot to OS it will be overwritten by CM recovery hence booting directly will alleviate that
Boot into os, enable dev options by tapping the build number a bunch of times in settings-about phone section, go back and go into settings-developer options, make sure "update cyanogen recovery" is unchecked. Flash recovery again, and like people have said, power off the phone and use volume down and power buttons together to boot into recovery.
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried all the above s and none of them have worked
Should I try unlocking the bootloader again?
I recommend going to this guide and following it closely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
As for which version of TWRP to use, I recommend this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059048
I'm not able to get into recovery.
After doing something stupid on my phone, i wanted to flash a new rom (crDroid). But the recovery gave an error 7. So i wanted to flash the recovery from the thread. I wasn't near a pc so i downloaded an app called Rashr to flash the recovery.img. But then my phone wouldn't boot or get into recovery.
So i used the official flashtool from sony to flash the official software to reset my phone and now my phone works again, but i still wanted crDroid. I downloaded a permissive kernel from zach and installed it through fastboot. I also installed the recovery through fastboot but when i booted, no yellow light came up and holding the volume up button wouldn't work as well.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Also fastboot boot recovery.img results in the phone being stuck at the sony logo
When you have recovery installed in FOTA partition, you can enter it by holding VOL DOWN + Power button while the phone is off.
The way you described only applies when recovery is installed in boot partition.

This only works with 100% reliability after flashing at least .160 Nougat firmware via FTF (XperiFirm),
then flashing twrp/recovery via
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and the behavior varies from country to country (or even firmware to firmware, among network operators / giving the name "custom firmware" credit :silly.
This time [2nd flash of .160 firmware, different operator] the notification led lights up violet for me, previously it was something else (a form of red, orange) and recovery almost instantly booted up,
now it takes several seconds - if not 30 seconds until it's in TWRP.
Okay so i'm on 34.4.A.0.160. I flashed some different recovery images by now but still no change in the situation. I did al the recovery flashing using the 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' code and fastboot gave no errors and it looked like it works everytime. But when i boot there is no led light during the entire boot sequence.
Also booting to recovery with volume down + power button when phone is off, didn't work. It just boots normal. I tried it serveral times and every time i changed some things, like pressing the volume button or power button for a longer time. Also once again, here no led indicators appear....
My led light is not broken as it still lights up when i get a message.
I installed a old lolipop firmware through flashtool, installed the Androplus permissive kernel and recovery, also from Androplus, through fastboot. Now when the phone boots it gets a yellow led indicator. When pressing volume up during the indicator, the light turn orange but the phone does not boot into recovery, but instead reboot itself.
Once again, no idea what is happening. Fastboot is working fine or i would not be able to flash the permissive kernel and get a yellow led light. But why won't my phone boot to recovery? I tried multiple different variants of twrp by different people. Tried multiple firmwares. I think there is something wrong with the partition where the recovery is stored. Is this possible? And if so, how would i fix it?
*i think it is against the rules, but here is a BUMP*
No one any idea ? I can't flash anything without recovery
Same here
I had a similar experience. What worked for me was
"fastboot erase recovery" before fastboot flash recovery etc.
Might work.
Wow - folks there you have your answer - but no one seems to care or read it:

well, I flash twrp to the recovery partition (FOTA huh ?)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
after both steps were [OK]
you can disconnect the cable (= phone off)
Now press VOL DOWN + POWER at the same time,
wait for the Sony logo/screen to appear,
wait 1-3 seconds and release the POWER button - keep the VOL DOWN button pressed [probably can release ALL but still ...]
the phone should boot into TWRP/recovery after quite some time
Just boot the recovery:
$ fastboot boot twrp.img
