You haven't searched that bad, if not you would have come across this:

Anyway, are you rooted? if you are rooted and did a factory reset then you don't have a Rom in your phone and that is why you are stuck on the splash screen. You even wiped everything, so probably erased usb debugging drivers from the device.
Well, you have these choices: 1) If you still can access your custom recovery (CWM or 4EXT) then you need to put a rom in your sdcard and flash it. You will have your phone back. You can even restore a nand backup and have your system as it was at that time.
2) If you are S-OFF, but can not access a custom recovery, then flash it again and follow option 1)
3) Use a PD98IMG.zip file to flash a RUU in hboot and you will get back. In the link I provided above, you have several links to those files.
In all cases, you will need an sdcard reader or someway to get the files to your sdcard.
Hope it helps....

thanks!!!!
problem solved

Did you read the link that glevitan posted a couple posts above yours? Did you try what it says? Which option? What happened?

[Q] cwm keeps looping in recovery mode, unable to flash to htc recovery

so i recently got a HTC one S, wanted a custom skin, and followed this:
www[dot]theandroidsoul[dot]com/miui-4-one-s/
tutorial in order to get cwm installed so i could instal a custom rom.
each step worked perfectly until i had to reboot into recovery mode and when i was going to instal
the OS everytime i clicked down to select 'format', the screen did a half second blink and would simply restart cwm.
the only way to get out of it was hold the power and volume to force a restart.
i them attempted to flash back to the default htc recovery (if i cant have my cake, least let me have what i had before)
unfortunately it gave me the error in cmd that the .img was unable to be read.
so wonderful. now i am almost positive this is something i am doing wrong,
but i just can't pick out what and i'll admit i'm not familiar with flashing, ect.
i've tried to follow tutorials such as forum.xda-developers[dot]com/showthread[dot]php?t=1707550
but am unable to even flash anything rom or otherwise,
i just keep getting stuck at the cwm recovery.
edit:
i attempted the fix mentioned in another thread about using the all in one,
now my phone simply crashes at recovery and wont even start recovery.

[Q] Can't get to recovery after (successful) upgrade to KK.

Hi,
just got time to update my 2nd XT925 to KK (RSD'd back from CM11 JBBL to stock SFR rom, let the phone find its update and apply it, everything went fine).
But whatever KK recovery I try to flash, it gives me an exclamation mark and nothing else (I'm unlocked, yes).
Don't know what's happening here. Can someone helps please ?

Are you saying you are trying to flash a recovery or are you trying to GET to the stock recovery? If you are trying to get to the stock recovery, the key presses to get to it have changed.
Your best bet is to power off your phone. Then, press and hold power+vol up for a few seconds until you see the menu come up. Then, press vol down to highlight Recovery and then press the vol up button.
Eventually, you'll see the "Dead Andy". From there, press and hold vol down+vol up+power. You might have to do it a couple of times. Eventually, you'll be in the recovery but for the XT926, it's kind of hard to read because for some reason, they decided to make it dim.

No (but thanks anyway). What I tried to was only to install a KK recovery for CM11.
I successed but I had 2 problems mixed: the 1st one was that the Linux version of fastboot (or mfastboot) did'nt work with the new bootloader. Both were complaining about "(bootloader) Variable not supported! ". Had to find some old laptop with Windows installed to use it to flash the recovery without error.
But even then if I just let the phone reboot, I would'nt get the new recovery (just the stock one after the keypress you speak about). I had to go straight from bootloader screen to the recovery (by manually rebooting) to get it work. Looks like the standard boot just restored the stock recovery each time I tried.
Thanks anyway, it's working now.

Variable not supported comes up under some Windows, but it usually still works.
You never go straight to the bootloader when you reboot. You have to reboot the phone (or turn it off first) and then press and hold vol up+power. Then, from there, you use vol down to select recovery and then press vol up.
It never boots directly into the recovery unless you tell it to via an ADB command or from within a custom ROM that allows it.

Keep in mind, the stock recovery will override the custom recovery if you don't immediately boot back into recovery. Flash recovery, when that's done, press power to shutdown, and use the method Bolski described to boot into recovery.

Let me see if i undestood.
You say that if you don't boot right into recovery, the stock one will overwrite CWM/TWRP. So i understand that, after very reboot you must reflash recovery if you want to use it again.
Or am I missing something?

It won't reflash every time. You only need to boot straight into recovery the first time, so that the update binary completes. After the first time, you'll be good.

I think this may be the problem I am having. I cant get my 926 to boot to recovery from fastboot after I load CWM recovery. Is there some trick?

Shield doesnt boot anymore

So guys, i've done it. I bring my first device.
Yesterday i tried to downgrade via fastboot with this recovery images https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload (yes is choose the right ones)
flash boot, check
flash recovery, check
flash system, failes (insufficient memory)
erase sytem, check
flash system, failed (insufficient memory)
flash twrp, check, but no usb mouse so
flash cwm, check
factory reset, check
rom.zip and gapps on sd card, check
reboot, boot into bootloader, no chance
It boots everytime normal, so i cant enter the recovery.
Connect it to charger, check
charging led lights up, check
Go sleeping, check
doenst boot into bootloader :/
Back to charger
Now I wanted to try it again and i wont even boot.
Anyone has an Idea? Or is it really bricked?

Can you still see the device listed using fast boot?

No, because I can't enter the bootloader or the recovery. But it boots again
...

The same thing just happened to me. Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure it out. I flashed a "stock" recovery that I had found in order to be able to take the OTAs. Now when I boot, I just stay stuck on the NVIDIA splash screen.....been there for hours.

Same here.....

Mine is working again. Booting in the bootloader is a little bit tricky.
Have you tried to flash all? Boot.img, recovery.img and system.img?
...

I had the same issue. But after trying to get into the bootloader using POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 15 minutes it finally went to the bootloader and I was able to re-flash it. I have a feeling it's the cludgy power button.

You do not need to flash the stock recovery to take the ota. I have taken 2 otas now on custom recovery without any issue and without loosing root. Just an FYI.

I just did a factory reset under lollipop, locked boot-loader rooted and it rebooted to the green android screen then dropped into CWM and asked to fix root. I said no, then it went to the nvidia boot logo and it is stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: nevermind, I just powered it off after about 20 minuets and it hung again. When I plugged it into my pc, it finally poped into the setup/welcome screen. Pretty weird. Heart attack averted

After rooting my nexus 5 is not booting up with non stop booting animation

I have a nexus 5 16 GB and i downloaded the recent software update android 6.0.1 and then I decided to root and I used 'Nexus root toolkit v2.06' and first unlocked the bootloader and then rooted. Everything worked fine but after the process was complete it was rebooting and the booting animation went on and on for many hours and the device did not root. I really don't know what's going on. My purpose is to install a custom rom: cyanogenmod 12. Now what should I do ???? PLEASE HELP. When i try to enter recovery mode it shows a picture of the android mascot with opened back and exclamation and cannot enter command as well. and after some time the booting animation begins and goes on and on...
please help...

Unless something has changed, version 6. requires that you flash a special kernel before you can root your phone otherwise you are as you are now, stuck in a boot loop. You should probably download the factory image from Google, and then flash the system image to get rid of what you have done.. Perhaps then your phone will start normally

Also, you mentioned a 'special kernel' what does that mean. All i want to do to my device is install cyanogenmod 12 and for that i believe it needs to be rooted, so i am really confused. What should I do know

I'm having this same problem, and unfortunately, when I start the phone on fastboot, I can not access the recovery mode in order to upload a factory image of nexus 5.
I used the new tool available her for quick flash, and now, I don't have a phone.

First, don't panic. Your phone is still very easy to recover. Unfortunately I can't get you a complete walkthrough here (for now at least), so I'll give you the main idea and you'll have to do your homework (as maybe you should have done before).
1. You need to get fastboot working on your computer. It's included in the Android sdk package, but there might be some easier way to get it. Google it. You might need drivers for your pc too. Google it as well.
2. Then you need to get into fastboot mode on your phone. To do it, hold down power button AND volume down button until it gets into fastboot mode. You will see an android on his back with the cover open. At this point, connect your phone to your pc, open a terminal on your pc and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes "". It should find your phone if fastboot is working. If it doesn't work go back to step 1.
3. Download TWRP recovery on your pc and place the img file in the same folder as your fastboot executable (not mandatory but easier). It can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/
4. Always in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img" assuming you downloaded that file, which you should have by the way. It should install fine. If you haven't placed the file in the same directory as your fastboot executable, you will need to provide the path to your img file as well.
5. Then use the volume rocker to switch between modes and choose reboot recovery.
6. You should now be in TWRP recovery. At this point, download a custom kernel (anyone found on xda for hammerhead should do) and push it to your phone. It should be fairly simple with TWRP. Then flash your new kernel using install. It should help you get your phone booting normally. Alternatively, you can download a custom ROM like cm12.1 and flash it altogether. It will install everything needed for your phone to boot up too. Beware if flashing a ROM though, I strongly advice you to do a factory reset before flashing it. You will find that option in the wipe menu.
Hope it helps, let me know if you need further assistance.

Yesterday, I have tried everything to have my computer to recognize the "fastboot" command, and I installed like 2 or 3 different programs for that. With my old Windows 7, I have been able to push a flashed image to fix this issue, using the fastboot command, but with Windows 10, it's always telling me it's not a valid command. I'll keep trying it, otherwise, i'll have to "resurrect" my old Windows XP computer.
Also, I noticed now that, while trying to install the fastboot, as per some files that I could download, but no file has been copied into my computer, not even if I run it as admin.

fixed. but no RECOVERY mode options....
Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for the help, I have finally recovered the phone and running android 6.0 MRA58N but it is not rooted. Now if you don't mind could you teach me how to root because i have checked lots of videos and tuts but none worked for me...
IMPORTANT:
when i am in recovery mode why cannot I access options even when i press volume up + power button and release them at the same time...????
Thanks in advance.

Just flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Can't link though.
