Stuck on Lg bootscreen - no recovery

Hello everyone, I tried to flash v30a baseband over my CM nightly, but now all I can see is the LG logo..
I've tried everything, including xbsall's resurrection guide, pandaball's guide, lg update tool etc.. but i can't find a way to fix it.
Can someone help me?

this might be stupid but why not try to reflash the WKparts and recovery? with like optimusRS simple tool
oh wait that maywork for you but if you are on stock ICS just boot in to the stock recovery and follow the steps in there thne should you be fine otherwise flash the above and make a factory reset"wipe" in twrp i had the same error and the stock recovery thing fixed it for me

Ok, i've flashed v30a using that procedure. I'm still stuck on boot. I've followed your tutorial about wkpark's bootloader and recovery, but when I try to boot in recovery it just says "please wait for seconds.. power off.." and it shuts down again..
Then I've tried installing stock recovery in the same way, but that didn't work at all.. what can I do now?

I know it may sound as a newbie question.. well, it is a noob question afterall :laugh: I'm not sure if I'm booting properly in download mode, or if my phone doesn't boot in download anymore. (I've read that it doesn't have to show me the korean S/W sentence, but how can I be sure I'm in download mode?)

Ok, I've done everything right, but nothing has changed.. perhaps I should try to flash a gingerbread kdz, but I wasn't able to find any of them :/

Had this issue yesterday. You will need wkpart bootloader to make it boot and flash recovery.
Follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43672348
After flashing this, recovery will work, so you can wipe data.

As I said before, I've already tried that one :/ when I boot in recovery using wkpark's bootloader, it just says "power of.." and then it shuts down. I've tried option three (twrp recovery) and 4(stock), I'll try to flash option one and see what happens (wkpark's bootloader+cwm recovery)

I still can't believe it, but normal cwm recovery actually worked. My phone is finally resurrected! Thank you guys for your support! Now I guess I'm going to install Optimus RS' rom, 'cause I think it's the best one around

Sos help needed!!!

Hey guys so i had Team Eos 3.0 Stable wingray and i wanted to try the KitKat so i installed the omni rom this one here , i repartitioned to bigPart first then installed the rom and everything was ok.
After some usage i found out that the new version is not performing fast so i wanted to return back to team eos 3 so i installed this recovery ([Recovery] ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) Modded for Internal media [UPDATED 10/6] here and then flashed team eos 3.
BUTTTTTTTT the device is getting stucked in the team eos boot screen (the screen after moto dual core logo) if a press power button and volume down the only options i'm getting are (nvflash,rsd,fast boot)!I can't even turn off the tablet and of course i can't get into recovery...

I think you are still partitioned and you need to get back to the big part. I think the only way to do that is use fastboot adb. But I am unsure as how to go about doing it.

Hold Power and Vol+ (up) buttons simultaneously until the screen blanks, the device should restart, then you can manually enter recovery.

You can manually enter recovery..
* Do a reboot, and watch for when screen blanks and shows the moto boot splash logo
* Wait about 2-3 seconds, then press volume - (volume down)
* it should show something like " --> Android Recovery "
* Press volume+ (volume up) to select recovery.
(If frozen, or boot looping, try holding power & vol up simultaneously, to force the reboot in the first step.)
If you've done it successfully, you should see the recovery option, then press vol down to start recovery.

Ah well i tried that but the only options i get when i do that are: nvflash,rsd,fast boot!

Do a Google search on adb via Mac. If you can access fastboot, you'll be able to flash recovery via adb.

i think that once you go BigPart, you need to stay with BigPart recovery.
Select fastboot, then connect to PC and flash the bigpart TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_bigPart_wingray_everest.img
Once that's done, do:
Code:
fastboot reboot
After you see the M logo, wait 2-3 seconds then press the Vol-Down button.
Do you see 'recovery' as an option?

yessir!

That's not the bigpart recovery...
Use the recovery from here: http://d-h.st/nmP
Extract the img file from the zip, then flash with fastboot like you did above.

Hey guys i f**cked up everything again, i wanted to go back to eos from omni 4.4.2 and i flashed it via the new TWRP recovery but nothing happened so now i have no OS on the xoom, i again stucked in the boot screen with the dual core logo.
I can't find via the adb my device, what can i do?
I flashed the recovery but i can't enter it with the volume down etc etc
Here what the pc shows now:

can boot recovery from fastboot but can't flash!

Hey guys,
My friend is having some issues with getting twrp on his new oneplus one:
the bootloader was succesfully unlocked and we tried flashing the twrp recovery on it (both the latest version and the previous version) fastboot said that it was succesfull but when we tried to boot the recovery by holding power + volume down the device hung on a black screen and needed to be restarted, and this happens everytime! However if we do fastboot boot openrecovery....img it takes a while but the recovery boots just fine!
what's going on here? can anyone tell me why it won't boot a flashed recovery?

I have the same issue as you, and yet to find an solution. Try using Philz Touch or CWM instead, both worked for me.

Many people don't know the correct procedure to boot into recovery using the button combination, what you need to do is first hold volume down, then hold power as well, the phone will vibrate and you'll see the OnePlus splash screen, after about a second you can let go of the power button and keep holding volume down until it boots into recovery. If you continue to good the power button after seeing the splash screen the device becomes confused and thinks you're trying a hard reset.

Recovery Flash not working

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

Not getting into recovery

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
