Sorry for grammar
ok well my hero start the custom recovery image but it goes into fastboot mode every time i hold volume and power button and when i try to go into recovery mode it gets stuck on the htc logo.
i cannot flash a new recovery image in adb cause it gives me permission denied.
to top it all of i cannot install any of my apps from my sd card.
i need major help.
I am running CM6 and I downloaded ROM Manager from the APPS store. I wanted to a quick way to back up my current ROM. Usually I would power down press home and power at the same time and it would open ClockworkMod Recovery. There I could flash a ROM, perform a Nandroid back up, toggle USB, partition etc... I liked that feature, but I thought ROM Manager would be more convenient since I am suppose to be able to boot in recovery mode from the program.
When I installed ROM Manager and ran it for the first time it installed another program and now I can no longer access the ClockwordMod Recovery by pressing home/power. Even when I chose boot in recover from ROM Manager it just stays stuck on the T-Mobile screen. I have to take the battery out to get it to power off. At first I thought it was just slow, now I realize it's just stuck. If I power down and press camera/power now I get FASTBOOT options. I don't know how to use FASTBOOT. I want ClockworkMod Recovery to work again.
I don't know how to reverse this action. Does anyone know how to do this or how I can still access the ClockworkMod Recovery even with FASTBOOT on my system?
Download a recovery image for your phone.
Command to use is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Of course, substitute recovery.img with whatever one you want.

-ADB? how do i access it? it just shows DOS Screen and quickly closes
Thanks for any help you could give im a complete noob who wants to appreciate more of what my android phone can do...
I tried to use the search and google but didn't really find anything helpful. Almost 2 years ago, I unlocked the bootloader back on honeycomb and did custom recovery, root, and custom rom. Then a little while after ICS came out, I did the OTA update.
Today, I reset the xoom back to stock ICS and tried to unlock the bootloader again...thinking nothing of it. The process was taking a few minutes so I decided to get a snack and when I came back it was rebooting.
I assumed that it worked and continued to try and fastboot a recovery image. The recovery image installed and I did another reboot but was greeted with the android welcome screen. Anyways I went through the menus and then tried to enter recovery and it gave me an android laying on its back with and exclamation point above his open chest.
I hard rebooted and can still get into my device, but adb cannot seem to find my xoom anymore. I have tried it on a 64bit desktop and laptop with no luck.
Have I messed up? Or is there a simple fix that I am missing? Thanks in advance for any help!
Can you get into fastboot mode? The second time you unlocked did you have to go through the questions on your xoom again?

Yes, I can get into fastboot by holding the volume down key and the power button. That's fastboot, right?
Yes, I had to go through the menus the second time I unlocked.
sounds like the recovery you try to fastboot did not take or the rom was corrupt.. Which recovery was it? Do you want to be rooted and run a custom rom or completely stock? what xoom do you have(wifi, 3g, 4g)

I am on a 4G xoom on 4.0.4 but I don't use my data plan. I would like to be on a nice stable build of 4.2.
Download your rom choice, gapps and put them on the root of your sd card. If they are already there skip this step
I like TWRP Recovery the best. Easy to use and lots of options.
download this Twrp 2.4 img to the folder you hve fastboot in
open a cmd prompt in that o that folder
type fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.4.1.0.img
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.
You should be in twrp 2.4
select backup/restore and backup your current system
select install and find your rom select asnd then swipe to flash
when done then select home
select install again and find the gapps package and install
when done select wipe dalvick/cache
when done select reboot
select system
you should be good to go.
Well I got through all of the steps, but when I try to boot I get stuck in a loop of the roms boot logo. Is it okay to flash a wingray rom over a stingray device?

I think it is fine just the 3g/4g won't work.
I can get you going again but you are going to be starting with a locked honeycomb device. You will then have to either let it update to ICS or JB or unlock, root, install custom recovery and flash a rom. What xoom do you have 3g or 4g?

Okay I restored it again but this time i did a factory reset and wipe dalvick before flashing the rom and gapps. It works! Thank you for your help!
However, could I ask how to root this thing?
since you have a custom recovery on it already and are unlocked.
Download this file Universal xoom root place it on the root of your sd card and flash it. Then reboot and try a root required app such as root checker

Hello everyone,
Lately I've changed my rom from to another (both of them are custom). The problem is when I try to reboot my phone into recovery (TWRP) but instead it reboots into bootloader.

I have an advanced menu in the rom where I can choose if I want to reboot into recovery, system or boot loader, so I choose recovery but the phone reboots in bootloader. Even if I just pressed the power button and volume up it also go to the bootloader

Please be specific the information :
1. Which ROM r u in?
2. Before this happen, which Recovery r u in?
3. Did you try to boot into recovery by adb command : adb reboot recovery ?
1. I'm currently using Arrow os.
2. TWRP.
3.Yes I did because there's no other way you can get into the recovery but using adb only gives me access to TWRP, but the problem is that every rime I want to access TWRP I should use a computer.

Means you still able to boot into recovery, just that u must use command lines and the recovery's not there when u try to boot into it by other method, correct?
If so, download OF latest build R11.1.2.1 ( zip file ) boot into TWRP, flash the zip, boot info OF, flash the zip in OF again, then let it do the auto reboot into recovery. When done, clear cache, Dalvik then reboot to system as normal.
Then try to reboot to recovery by normal ways, inform me back if it's work
Thank you for your reply. I will try to do it after some time because I'm busy right now hopefully it works
