I know I know, I'm an idiot. I've done this a few times before on my old Droid X, but clearly don't have the experience to be doing this. I now have a RAZR MAXX HD and was attempting to flash RageHE v1.1. Here's what I did and where I am: I unlocked, rooted and flashed stock system, kernel and radio as well as TWRP recovery using Matt Groff's utility. I made a backup in TWRP and then wiped dalvik/cache etc. I then mounted system etc and it asked me if I wanted to reboot. I did, and now I'm stuck on the unlocked bootloader screen. It won't even power down -- I can hold down vol +/- and power and it will temporarily power down, but as soon as I let go it powers back up.
What do I do??? Am I screwed?
well I managed to get it to power down -- I read on droidrzr.com that I could hold power + vol +/- and then as soon as it powers off, quickly press vol +/- again to avoid it powering back up. So now at least I'm powered down, but what do I do next?
OK I think I'm good -- once I got it powered off I was able to power back up using power + vol +/- and boot into TWRP where I restored from my backup. Sorry was freaking out a bit -- shouldn't be messing with things I don't understand well enough

Hey everyone!
So I run a stock 4.1.2 nexus s, locked bootloader, not rooted. Out of nowhere earlier my phone started to reboot itself. It would load into the OS, but then it would reboot, and it keeps repeating itself..
Any ideas?

You can hard reset but this will erase your stuff. This works if you're not rooted/don't have a custom recovery.
From being powered down, you hold VOL + then power. This will bring you to the fastboot menu. With the volume keys, you select recovery.
Once in recovery with the exclamation mark andy, you hold VOL + and then power and you wait until it reboots. Might be VOL - at this step though, I cannot recall.
Thanks, I have got to that point, but I am hesitant to do it. There is no way to access the sdcard while the phone is in recovery mode??

There is no way unless you have a custom recovery that supports that feature. Stock recovery doesn't have that feature.
So I'm selling my TF700 and decided to reset everything. I made the mistake of wiping the data. When I rebooted from TWRP I now get stuck at the boot screen (white asus logo that says unlocked). It will not let me boot into recovery, the options aren't there. Any idea on how I can get back to recovery?

You can try to hold the power button + volume down button for ten second. Can you access to your bootloader?
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.

So, I got my new OnePlus One today and I tried to get CM12 onto it. I was following the [GUIDE] How to Install CM12 on the OnePlus One- Android Lollipop/5.0 on the OPO forums, and everything went well until I tried to get the TWRP on there. I flashed the recovery and rebooted the phone. I turned it off and then tried to boot it into recovery but it doesn't, it just hangs at the OPO logo until I hard-restart it.
I've tried factory resetting it and doing
fastboot oem unlock
but nothing happened. The factory reset pretty much just reset the phone. I think I might've messed up the kernel. How do I fix it?
EDIT 1: I've tried reflashing twrp recoveries and nothing. When I hold power+volume down, it powers on, shows the one plus logo, then reboots and just goes to the lockscreen.
UPDATE 1: I managed to manually flash all the CM12 files and use lollipop. I haven't tried the recovery yet but I'll keep you guys updated (if any of you even care).
UPDATE 2: Apparently flashing CM12 made the recovery work. Everything works as it should and the OTA to the most recent CM12 worked perfectly.
You're probably doing the button combo wrong. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I was curios and enabled advanced reboot to try and boot into recovery and it worked (after I had flashed CM12). Everything's working now.

How did you manually flash CM12? I think I'm having the same trouble you were having. I used the oneplus toolbox from the forum to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP, but no luck in getting into recovery mode. It just boot loops with the oneplus logo until I release the volume down button at which point it then boots to the lock screen.

@Heisenberg I'm also having trouble getting into recovery. I've tried the different button combos (power + vol down; power + vol down and release power) as well as the advance reboot options to get into recovery, but they all fail. I get the 1+ logo and after I let go of the volume down button the screen goes black and boots again to the 1+ screen and then to the lockscreen. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the recovery. I tried putting the stock recovery back on using the image in the OnePlus One toolkit folder, but that one doesn't work either. In addition to unchecking the "CM Recovery Update", are there any other settings that could be causing problems?
For background info, I initially used the toolkit interface to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery. The bootloader unlocked with no issue...it wiped my device and I was in sync with the "How to root" video posted by alex.inthi. I got sidetracked after the (seemingly) successful flash of TWRP onto the phone I kept getting booted into the Cyanogen recovery. I realized out that I needed to uncheck the setting to keep it from overwriting TWRP and after that was not able to boot into recovery. After finding your beginners guide (thanks, by the way, very well written) I tried using fastboot from the command line as you show, but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Okay, I must have been having a special kind of moment - I've got TWRP 2.8.7.0 running on my handset now. I may have been holding the volume down button too long, or it may be that I was using an older version of TWRP, but I'm going to go with the former. I've also been able to successfully flash and boot into Philz 6.59.2
Having the same problem
I am having the exact same problem and cannot seem to find a solution. Recovery screen just doesn't appear, but goes to lockscreen.
Tried erasing, flashing both twrp, philz etc., but nothing works. The phone doesn't recognize the recovery status. Advanced booting does the same.
Update CM-recovery is checked off, phone is unlocked. I've followed every step of the big guide down to every detail.
Is manually flashing the 12.1 ROM the only way and in that case: is it hard for a relative newcomer?
Hey everyone,
Randomly my Nexus 5 stoped booting yesterday, not progressing further than the Google boot logo. I can reach the option to load the recovery mode, but, once selected from the vol down+power menu it loads into a similar black screen.
From what I understand this is a soft-brick issue, but I'm unsure of how to reflash if I cannot access the recovery mode.
Please help
no need for recovery, you need to get back to bootloader. from there flash the factory image.

I have the same problem. I'm stuck in boot loop without a custom recovery. I did the flash-all.bat from the bootloader but it's still in boot loop. I also factory reset and wiped cache. Any other suggestions?
After flashing, boot back into fastboot and run these commands from a Windows machine:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (the userdata.img file can be extracted from the stock ROM for flashing in fastboot)
After running the 2 commands, boot back into recovery and perform a full wipe of data and cache, then reboot.
I did everything you said successfully but it's still stuck in boot loop.
Edit: I fixed my phone!
I just used this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...l-06-03-14-one-click-factory-restore-t2513937) and ran recovery_Nexus5 batch file. This will downgrade to Android version 4.4.4 though.

Hmm, but the power button works fine. I can "boot" into the google launch logo, and/or turn "on"/"off" the screen using it (black screen but illuminated by backlight).

So you never reach bootanimation? If yes it must softbrick..if you can can enter recovery just do full wipe or flash factory img via fastboot

I think your flex cable is faulty.
