Flashed Miui 1.6 to my Evo 4g and now I cant re-boot into recovery. When I try it just goes back to fastboot screen. Any help please??
have you tried typing utilising the fastboot with "fastboot reboot recovery"?
give that a go
pinget thanks for the help but I don't understand what you mean.
fix this problem
if you have this problem you may need to put the phone in download mode and find a program that will redo your phone and then retry the flash
Use an app like "Quick Boot" and select reboot recovery. If it does the same thing, you'll need to reflash recovery.
I'll link you to both Amon Ra and ClockworkMod, since I'm not sure which you use.
Download the PC36IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Don't rename it, it's already named properly... even if you can't see the zip extension, it's there. Boot into the bootloader either manually or with an app. To do so manually, turn the phone off. Then hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader. It will scan and find the file, then ask you to update. Choose yes, then let it flash. When it finishes, it'll ask you to reboot - don't. When it sends you back to the bootloader choose recovery. You should be good to go.

No problem. Next time, post your question in the Evo Q&A section if it pertains to your Evo specifically. You'll get faster answers that are device specific. I just happened to check the General Q&A forum, which I rarely do.

Hey everyone,
Basically I was trying to flash a new ROM onto an old Nexus S of mine and when I tried to boot into recovery there was just a black screen. I pressed the power button and a single line saying "Clockwork mod Recovery" and the version number popped up. I assumed that the recovery must've been corrupted so I erased it and installed the latest version using fastboot which seemed to work fine.
Now whenever I try to boot into recovery I just get a blank screen with nothing else. I've tried using other recovery images such as twrp but the same problem happened, I just get the background wallpaper/image and nothing else.
I searched the forums and apparently people were having this issue earlier on when the i9023 was first released but now most custom recoveries are supposed to work with both i9020 and i9023.
Also the touch buttons light up and vibrate whenever I touch them when I'm in recovery mode.
Any help to this problem would be greatly appreciated as atm I have an old ROM which is buggy as hell and I need to get rid of it.
Cheers!
I had the same Issue. If you can boot into the rom, you can try to download the rommanager-app and install the recovery from there.
Hey I tried that already that and instead of booting into recovery it just went into the bootloader and said "No Recovery or Bootloader found".
Any other ideas?
Did you clicked the first point in rommanager? Install recovery, or you only hit the second button reboot into recovery?

Hey
I have the i9023 and I install rom manager. install CWM and if I reboot into recovery it works and I get in to CWM recovery.. but after reboot into os.. if I go into Rom manager and reboot to recovery it dont work? I just get the android figur and a "!".. then I just can Power + vol up and I'm in bootloader recovery..
Do I have to install CWM every time i want to use it? and can't I access CWM on boot op ?
sorry for my bad English
Normaly you have to flash the recovery only once.
Try to flash the newer clockwork-recovery with fastboot.

Alfiedk: You need to get rid of this file:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
As it re-installs the stock recovery every boot.
I think you can download any custom ROM for your phone, and flash it in CWM recovery, this will also solve the problem
Edit: Did you unlock the phone? Have you tried fastboot oem unlock?

I havent unlock my phone, but I can get in to bootloader is it then necessary to unlock ?
I try to delete the /install-recovery.sh
Yes you need to unlock your bootloader, if you dont want to reflash it all the time.

Yes I made sure I selected install clockwork mod. Like I said the problem isn't the same when I do this, instead of a blank screen, when I boot into recovery it goes straight to fastboot and tells me that I don't have a recovery image installed at all...

what happens when you try to temporary boot into the recovery?
instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", try to "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Just look for an recovery.img that works temporary and then try to flash it permanently.
I'll try it and get back to you Xziped. If anyone else can think of any other ideas please just throw'em at me, I'm willing to try anything!
Yeah no help there either. It does the exact same thing temporarily booting into a recovery that it did when I actually had it installed on the phone :\.
I updated ROM manager to the latest and tried installing CWM with that but to no avail. It still says that there is no recovery installed when I do that.

Sorry but if not even the temporary recovery boots up, i dont know what else we can do
did you try some of the older recoverys? is your bootloader unlocked?
I haven't tried an older recovery and my bootloader is unlocked.
could it be a problem with my computer as opposed to the phone itself? As in my computer is messing up when trying to flash the recovery?
I've also noticed now that when I boot into fastboot mode the menu just locks up and doesn't respond to anything. Sometimes I have to pull the battery and other times it'll start responding after randomly pressing the power key a lot of times...
I'll try an older recovery next

Use Odin, that might solve your problems. Search for the Nexus S version of Odin in the Dev section here.

Your adb setup isn't working. Have you booted your phone holding VOL+ and power? Are your ADB drivers installed?
It's either the first or the last one, check your stuff. I doubt it's bricked.
look thats what the phone do exactly when i restart it normal it keeps on the boot screen it just keep going on but when i boot with vol + i get into that menu not sure what its called where it say
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
RECOVERY

PS. i just reinstalled the drivers from Android SDK still having the same problem

I've never had good luck with the Android SDK driver, I use the PDANet driver instead.

That always got my phone to be detected after.
Edit: That's the fastboot screen. You should have used this when you rooted your phone, if you did it "manually".
You will use fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img
to flash a recovery. Recoveryimage.img will be the name of the recovery you're trying to flash.
i did and thats what i get when im trying flash the recovery
wow i restarted the phone and tried and it worked

Got a bad flash when trying out a new kernel and now i think it's bricked. will only get to the first splash screen. I can connect to it with adb but adb reboot recovery nor adb reboot download are working. Button combination not working either. If adb can see it, is it possible to save it?
:crying:
What kernel was it that you flashed? BTW, this should be in the Q&A section.

I couldn't get adb reboot recovery to work even on a fully functional stock rom. If it powers on to the splash screen, you should try to boot it into either recovery or download manually (Power+Volume Up I think for recovery, power+Volume Down for download mode).
Hope you already got your problem resolved, if not, I hope this info helps you or someone else in the future.
i had same problem ........with my tab2!!! try hold power+volume up for 15 secs and it will start on recovery then again flash ROM ...all the best !!!
Just so you guys know, it was a bad kernel, not a bad flash. A fixed version has been released. Reason #324 to always make a nandroid before flashing anything.
Dont worry , just try to install the stock one.
@arn1903 That did it!! I swear I tried that but last night it worked! Thanks again!!!
Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I cant get into the recovery mode.....
Sorry for my bad english....i need your help ppl!!!!
Thanks for ur time.

May you can get into Fastboot mode and reflash the recovery.
Give it a try =)
Do you have a androids of your original ROM?
I did the exact same thing just yesterday...
If you have a JB image to work from, get it in fastboot mode and look at the thread on CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5...

To get into fastboot mode, it's the following combination;
- Press [vol-] + [power]
- As soon as the tablet vibrates, let go [power] then cycle your rotation lock button left and right till you see the the text start to appear.
Unless you;re going to try and fastboot a system image setup or recovery image or another boot.img, not sure what you wish to accomplish.
I would guess you would be better off installing maybe the GB full version JellyBean update.
Also, I understand there,s a a700 ICS service rom out there somewhere. That might help you also.
But these are just guesses at this point.
What would help, is to know exactly what you did to get yourself into this situation. Like What root procedure from what post? If you tried one of the ICS Boot.image flashes, when you had JB updated, well, no wonder it borked up. If that's the case, it's simple just to fastboot a JB Boot.img back in.
So which thread did you get the root procedure from EXACTLY?
One more thing, this thread belongs in Q&A Forum, so I put in a request to have it moved.

Sorry for dont put my thread into the Q&A Forum. It was a mistake. Sorry again
My situation is: "like i remember" i tried to make the root with the "flash-ICS-patchedBoot.bat".....i know that BAT is for ICS and not for JB but i take that mistake doing the thing really fast. :angel:
Ok...i need them to get the fastboot with the JB Boot.img like you said.
The JB Boot.img is into the Rom??? because i saw the boot.img into the JB update.zip
Can u tell me the command to get that flash? Is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?

It's no problem.
So you fastbooted an ICS boot.img on a JB rom
So, you need to see if you can manually get it into fastboot mode with the procedure I pointed out above (note it will probably wipe your user data, but who cares)
If you get it in fastboot mode, verify via windows device manager, then just put a JB Boot image in there. I have a little package in my Boot.image thread Full /System RW-Root. Don't use the boot mage in it, as it's for a 701. Just copy your JB boot.image in there and fastboot it. You have the correct command.
Verboth has a new rom, that contains an unsecure boot.img for the 700 JB. You can use that one also. It's what you were trying to do originally, just with a wrong image (ICS)
The reason ADB doesn't see it, is because the system isn't running. The newer CWM recoveries should have adb enabled through CWM, but I don't think you put that in yet.
Hopefully you'll get it fastbooted.

Okay, so since I just did this, I'm going to try and give you a "how to" on how I fixed it...
MD and pawitp both are the authorities on this, but I think this will help and I a, sure they will correct me where I go wrong.
First, use the manual process for getting your A700 in fastboot.. power button + down vol, wait for the first buzz then release only the power button, wait for the second buzz then press the up volume button. Your tab should now be in fastboot mode.
Connect it to your computer.
Get a copy of the proper recovery image "recovery-a700-6015" and the following ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952124) and save them to a directory where you can find it easily.
Pull the SD card from your tab and put the ROM from above in the base directory and put it back in your tab.
From the c prompt on your computer use the following fastboot command:
Fastboot devices
----#make sure that the computer sees your a700
Fastboot boot <save directory>recovery-a700-6015.img
----#your tab will reboot into CMR Recovery
In recovery format system, data, cache, dalvik
Still in recovery install the ROM from your external SD card.
The Aroma Installer will guide you through it, but make sure you tell it to install the new firmware.
Reboot.
You should be on the stock rooted ACER Great Britain release.
From there you can download and install CM10 (which is what I did), or any other ROM you would like.

Hello everybody,
I think I have NOT exactly the same problem but very similar.
Let me explain how I got there:
I had JB bootloader and CM11 installed for long and working fine.
Last days I tried out the CM12.1 unofficial rom with successful installation.
I noticed that the camera focus was not working. Usually I never use the camera and was not sure if it worked before. So I went back to CM11 to look if it is rom dependent. In CM11 it still was not working and I went back to stock. The stock rom I found was Android 4.0.4 and I tried to make OTA update what showed me a “not allowed to your device” –error.
However, at this moment I was quite sure that the camera focus is a hardware defect and wanted to go on testing the new CM12.1. I installed it again from CWM recovery and it was not booting anymore.
The problem is, that the stock rom flashed an ICS bootloader which is not compatible anymore. I also cannot boot into recovery anymore but fastboot is working.
Power-On:
shows Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode) and nothing more
Power-On + Vol.Down:
Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode)
Erasing Cache before SD update…
SD update cnd: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
Then for just a second CWM is shown:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1
Finding update package
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:update.zip]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Rebooting...
Then it holds on Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode)
I could not find any button combination to boot something else.
What I tried and what did not make any changes:
Flashing the recovery.img again
Erase userdata, cache, system
Please help me to boot up recovery again and flash a JB bootloader and new rom.
Thanks and kind regards,
Gandlz
Well, in between I found a solution and can answer my own question now:
The trick is to flash the CWM Recovery not to the recovery partition but to the boot partition. (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)
After restarting the tablet it boots directly into CWM Recovery.
I found a newer stock rom with jelly bean android and installed it to come back to JB-Bootloader. Now I could install CM10.2 CM11 or CM12.1 again.
The stock rom is from a german forum:
android-hilfe.de/thema/a700-zurueck-aufs-deutsche-stock-rom-flashen-anleitung-imagefile.329590
By the way: I’m running CM10.2.1 and it is very much faster than CM11 or CM12.1. I don’t need the newer features and like the old design even more. And also the camera focus is working now, so it is definitely a software issue with newer CM versions.
Best regards,
Gandlz
