When booting into recovery mode, the system hangs.
(It can boot normal without a problem)
The device had JB without root, so did the following:
1. Installed the ASUS bootloader unlock utility
2. Installed TWRP 2.3.1.0
3. Installed CleanROM 2.4
Now, when booting into recovery mode:
Via the shut-down menu, the system reboots into the white ASUS logo screen and hangs
Via power+volume Up, and selecting the [RCK] icon, the system hangs (the top left of the screen says "Booting Recovery kernel image")
I'm guessing the system is looking for a ROM file and simply can't find it.
Do you guys ROM experts know what I did wrong and what the fix might be?
After reinstalling TWRP - Recovery mode is working again!
I'll leave this post up in case it happens to anyone else.

My phone keeps restarting. Black screen -> Warning bootloader unlocked -> Black screen... etc. I also cannot access the recovery, gives me a black screen only.
Is the phone broken, or is there something that can be done?
What phone do you have? What caused this to happen?

Installed PhilZ Advanced Recovery. Made a backup, rebooted devices, and stuck in this bootloop. When enter Bootloader to get to recovery, all i get is a black screen.
Can't even shut the phone off, because it keeps restarting.
Flash Philz again but don't reboot the phone. When Philz flashes successfully, use the phone's volume buttons to go to recovery from fastboot.
The problem here is i cannot get the phone to show up as an attached device, unless i do it "manually" where i reboot into bootloader from the standard android/phone interface.
You need to be in fastboot mode on the phone to flash Philz. Re-booting to bootloader from Android is fine.
After a little tweaking and some work, I managed to get it working.
Thank you for your help.
XDA,
I am trying to root the stock rom (Cyanogen OS 12.10YOG4PAS1N0). I have thus far managed to unlock the bootloader and am now trying to install a custom recovery - here I run into some problems:
So I downloaded the latest TWRP and renamed it recovery.img - pressed 'fastboot erase recovery' and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' -all going fine.
I then unhook the phone, turn it off - press volume down and the power button to boot straight into recovery (not even booting OS) and here's where it gets interesting:
The 1+ logo appears, as if its trying to boot recovery - it hangs for 10s, then the screen goes black and it vibrates. The 1+ logo appears again and it boots straight into OS.
If I keep pressing volume down I am in a loop like this, with 1+ logo, screen black and so on.
So I never actually get into the custom recovery. And if I boot into the OS and press restart into recovery: I get stock recovery.
I've tried CWM. TWRP, Philz, the toolkit, manually - lots of things. I turned off overwrite custom recovery in the developer options - all to no avail.
I hope someone recognizes this problem and can help me out.
Thanks a million,
Michiel.
Not sure if this is your issue, but go to this thread on how to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root. See the note in underline at the bottom of item #2, installing the custom recovery. I was unable to get TWRP to stick until I followed this simple method.
Yes, I tried this but when I power the phone down and boot it with the powerbutton and volume button - it hangs on the OPO logo and reboots again into the OS.
ASUS Logo boot-loop (APX & Recovery work, yet no flashed ROM boots):Hopeless unbrick?
As title say, I can't get out the ASUS logo boot-loop limbo. Boots, flashes briefly, makes click sound, turns off... and again.
1) Tried flashing other ROMs: KatKiss5&6 give "symlink error", yet Revolver4 (RemovedApps version) flashed with clean log.
2) Still no ROM gets booted.
3) Tried EasyFlasher in APX mode: even tho the main log shouts success, the back-end (NvFlash.exe) freezes or quit on errors.
4) Tried to replace the recovery manually (install) or via EasyFlasher ... yet same TWRP (2.8.1.1) is still there.
5) Checked MicroSDCard for fs errors & bad sectors: clean.
6) Somebody mentioned some et2 or ext3 filesystem formatting... tried to play with it and got TWRP stuck!
I'm lost It seems like nothing I flash actually gets there, neither ROMS nor stock nor recoveries.
Weird facts & conjectures:
1) When going into recovery screen mentions "Android WW_epad user booloader released by WW_ epad9.2.1.27" --> Does this mean EasyFlasher once DID flash stock?
2) Recovery gives error: "Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'. --> Is it related to the unflasheable recovery?
3) t.b.a.
I recently picked up a virus on my rooted A510 and want to re-flash Nothrills.
I am unable to access recovery, either by holding Vol Down while powering on or with Vol Up while powering on.
Is there another method? (The power down menu has no restart/reboot to recovery option either)
Installed CWM with flashify and now I'm stuck in a permanent boot loop.
Either I power up normally and it stays on the ACER screen or I power up to CWM and it switches off and on again ad infinitum.
Help?!
I eventually got a little further. On the third PC I tried, using Linux, I was able to access fastboot as sudo and reflash CWM.
This time, when restarting to recovery I got the full CWM interface and I could reflash the ROM from the ZIP file.
however, after restarting I'm back to being stuck in
Bootloader version JB-d0ca683 (unlock mode)
So, I just decided to try and Flash the old TF101 with Katkiss 6.0.1 and Gapps, but I always get stuck on the same problem.
My TF101 is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and USB Debugging is on
I downloaded TWRP app on the transformer, as well as the latest .blob flash file through the app.
Before this, I rooted the tablet using Kingroot.apk, which worked. When I went to flash the tablet with the recovery, the app noted "Recovery Partition not found".
I tried to boot into recovery mode on my own, (Pressing Pwr + Volume down , Then hitting Volume Up), The android screen popped, up and then flashed to a fallen android with a red triangle.... The screen stays on this for a minute and then boots into the normal system. I can't even boot into recovery through ADB, using the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
, The tablet will just reboot normally, not into recovery mode.
The Device does recognize through ADB....
Is my recovery partition just non existent? Even when I just let the system though without pressing volume up, it only gives me the option of (Android) or (Erase Data). when I click erase data, ill stay on the asus loading screen indefinitely and nothing will happen until i turn it off and on.
I just cant seem to boot into TWRP for some reason, and that means I just cant install the downloaded custom ROM.
How Can I fix this and boot into TWRP? I've tried for hours and have been hung up due to the same problem each time, even after rooting.
Did you already solve that problem? I also need a solution.Thanks
