-SOLVED- [Q] Trying to root, but can't boot into CWM...can anyone help?

I was using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019 to unlock, install CWM, and then root. Unlocking was fine, installing that version of CWM seemed okay, but when I enter command "fastboot reboot", then hold down the volume - button after 3 seconds of the Moto logo showing, then pressing the volume + key, I get only 1 option....-->Android Recovery. I press the Volume + key, get "Entering Android Recovery Mode", and below that "Reading ODM Fuse 1", then the screen switches to an android with a yellow hazard sign in his tummy.
From that screen, if I press Volume + and power, I see:
Android system recovery <3e>
Use volume keys to highlight; power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from USB drive
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't get a choice to apply something from the microSD card I have installed with the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip I put on the card.
Has anyone had this happen? I can't ask in the development forum. I also just got the Xoom back from a repair, and it was wiped to stock, then I did the 3.1 update when I got it back this morning. Is the fuse thing something they may have done to block rooting?

Have you tried reformat your sd card?

I'll try that. But would that stop it from going into recovery?

I reformatted my sd card, but I still can't get CWM to work and boot into recovery. Same message-
-->Android Recovery
Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And that's it....no options to load the root zip from an SD card or anything. Is there a way to push root without using the SD card? Or is that ODM fuse thing making it impossible?

Nothing at all to do with CWM.
OP: Try flashing the recovery again. To get into recovery, type adb reboot recovery, or use an app such as Quick Boot.
Edit: You can't use CWM to root, you need to do that first.

I have to root first? I'm not sure how to do it....can't find any other methods of rooting 3.1....everything on Google just points me to the same method, using the SD card that won't work cuz I can't boot into recovery. Ugh.

Hey jump hour PM me.

Hey guys,
I called JumpHour and we tried to troubleshoot this over the phone. We aren't able to get into the recovery because of error "reading odm fuse: 1". The OP is using Windows 7 64 BIT and has the SDK installed properly. He updated the sources and installed them so those are up to date. We also verified that USB debugging was enabled and that the correct files were in the tools section in the SDK folder.
We ran the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot-recovery ........ (we typed it in correctly accoriding the thread)
fastboot reboot
and we get that error message.
This was all initiated while the Xoom was powered on. JumpHour stated that he had to send his Xoom back to Moto because his Xoom got messed up during the re-locking process when he unrooted a one click root and re-locked.
We then went ahead and downloaded the recovery image again and replace the one in the tools folder. We ran the commands again and we were getting the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this process? Are we missing something? Is something broken?

Get the official images. I am assuming you have a USA 3g or wifi model.
Follow the steps to return the device to stock. But do not issue the reclock bootloader command. There is no need to relock.
From there power up the device and turn on USB debugging.
Then adb reboot into recovery. That should bring you to the stock recovery.
If all goes well from here just do what ever else you where intending to do in the first place.
You most likely can just flash the stock recovery but I would just do a full flash back to official images minus relocking bootloader.

Then let the ota update it to 3.1 and so on.

What's the status JumpHour? Did you get it to work. I told you it may have been due to the images. Hopefully that fixes your issue. Take care dude.

Hi, thanks for the response. I'm gonna try it now. I was up REALLY late last night, and just got up a little while ago. I'll definately respond after I try it out.

Finally, I did it!
Okay, I fixed it finally. Reloaded the stock images, and it's now rooted with SD support. Yay! Only took 2 days!
Thanks for all your help guys.

Can reflashing with original images fix recovery mode mount problem?
Does any window is flashing to the original images can restore access to the sdcard IF the recovery mode in the official recovery mode (not CWM) says that you cannot mount the sdcard?

Help. /sob

Sorry to post this in the main section. A mod can delete it if necessary. I just hoped I could get some help from an expert right away. I'm quite experienced with this process on my Sensation and never had any trouble. Bought a One S today and...
Using the All in One Tool I flashed the latest recovery, and now it appears to be soft-bricked. I can't figure out how to get into recovery or the bootloader. It just brings up the HTC screen with the red text. Help?
Edit: hold tight... bootloader spontaniously started working again. I may survive.

If your device is off just hold down volume down, press and hold the power button for a little bit before you let it go. Keep pressing the volume down button until your in the bootloader
If it's on (or booting ) just press and hold power and volume down, when it has shut down let power button go but keep pressing volume till it has booted

Now holding the bottom rocker is bringing up Recovery, which is unable to mount storage. I'm trying to get into Bootloader now and try to reflash another recovery. Is the TWRP one any good? I've never used it. CWM is giving me no end of grief on this phone.
Update: Installed TWRP. It's working, but it cannot mount USB either, so I have no idea how to install a ROM on the phone.

There is a guide here about how to adb push a rom to your phone, try that

when I do the adb push command it just says "device not found." When I do the "fastboot devices" it appears to show the device.
HRMMMM.....

ADB requires the phone to be running and have USB debugging activated, while fastboot requires it to be in bootloader. Also try to get this thread out of dev section.

I don't have the ability to move the thread myself and I apologize for the intrusion, but I am pretty desperate to get this sucker running and this is really the only active forum at this hour.
So how do you get something on an internal only SD card when the Recovery can't mount the card? And why can't the recovery mount the card? It's bizarre.

Stay in recovery while doing the adb commands

abd push rom.zip \sdcard
appeared to work. But it didn't appear on my card. Or at least recovery can't read it.
This is nuts. Suddenly I appreciate my trusty sensation.
UPDATE:
Reinstalled CWM 5.8.3.1 off of the clockworkmod website. Same issue.

Mounting USB storage never worked for me with CWM, but I have no problems at all with TWRP... You have the right drivers installed right? You were able to mount when it was on your stock rom?

I did everything through the AIO Kit. Yes it worked with stock, and if I remember right it worked once with CWM then I tried to install MIUI. It crashed on boot, and from then on neither CWM or TWRP has been able to mount the storage. Just trick relocking and unlocking the bootloader. No dice.
This thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
Post 8 has instructions. The only one I don't understand is the first one. What does he mean when he says "flash your recovery back to stock." Relock the bootloader, or is there a stock recovery file I need to put in the recovery folder?

In that kit there is a list with the recoveries to the right, isn't stock there?

Habarug said:

Nope. Just says CWM, then TRW, then "your own recovery."
HOWEVER, I found what should be a stock recovery, and tried that with the bootloader locked. No luck. Trying it with the bootloader unlocked now.
Update:
The TWR recovery seems to be behaving slightly differently, but it still won't mount. I'll try the entire process again with CWM now.
PS. This 2 minute posting rule for editing posts is super obnoxious and counter productive.
Update 2:
No luck. CWM says the same thing:
E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Sorry, then I have no idea :/ I don't think I've seen any others having problems with TWRP not mounting properly

I got it. Apparently the version of TWR or whatever it's called wasn't current. I fount a 2.1.8 instead of 2.1.7 and that worked.
Thanks a TON for the help though. REALLY appreciate it so much. 5 hours on this thing and I finally have a working phone again. =)

Nexus 5 does not boot after system wipe through twrp

Hi, I recently formatted my whole system from the twrp menu,after restarting my phone does not boot.I cannot access the bootloader also.

If you format your system then the OS would also have gotten erased as well. Normally, if you opt to reboot after doing such a wipe, you'd get a notification advising you that no OS was installed.
Try flashing your stock ROM.

If you can still boot to TWRP, flash a ROM.

The device only turns only when it is plugged
i cannot access the device via adb.When i switch the phone there is only a coloured stripe appears.
The device turn on only when it is plugged.
i cannot also access twrp.

Can you access the phone as a removable drive if you're booted into TWRP? I did that exact thing once and that's what saved me.

While the phone is off, hold volume up, volume down, & power, that should start the bootloader. Use volume buttons to change selection to Recovery Mode, and press power button.
All you had to do was search google.

Honor 8 Hard Bricked after Rollback

I went back to Stock Rom and first flashed the Rollback B300 and then B131.
After that Im stuck the whole time on the Honor Logo.
I tried to get into eRecovery, TWRP and Stock Recovery, nothing works, only Bootloader but I cant flash a ROM cause the 3 Button Method also dont work.
Any solutions or maybe totally dead Device?

If Before flashing rollback pakage you were on a nougat custom rom/emui 5:
-download from firmware finder page's the emui 5 firmware that you had before
- use Huawei firmware extractor to extract .IMG files
-using fastboot flash these partitions:system boot recovery recovery2, if commans are not allowed unlock your bootloader again even if it is unlocked yet, (your phone would be unbricked, using dload method flash rollback package and your emui4 firmware)

tried it, doesnt work.

nothing works, i also got red blinking light.

It is not hard bricked. You also can't flash anything else since the bootloader is locked (or you unlocked it after downgrading).
Anyways, you should be able to boot to recovery. As soon as your device sticks at Honor logo, hold down the power button to reboot. As soon as the screen goes black, immediately leave the power button and press it again in combination with the Volume Up button. Hold this combination until you hear a vibration and the Honor screen. Your device should now boot to recovery. Perform a Factory Reset and reboot the device.
Hopefully your device will now successfully boot to system.
And the red blinking light indicates that the battery is low. Nothing else.

It wont boot, I only see the bootloader warning and when I hold the Volumen Up Button, it just says "Your Device is booting now..." and after some time it reboots itself.
I tested this with stock e recovery + stock recovery and also with TWRP.
Its just the same every time.
I also got this black screen with the red thunder logo before something else happens.
And i also cant do nothing without charger, if i try to turn it on without charger, it just blinks two times red and the screen stays black.

Old problem fixed, new Problem, I cant flash or install anything cause TWRP always gives me the error.

Before doing this, try to move the data (files) from your storage and follow this:
Go to wipe and go to advanced, wipe data and storage, even if it's says error, wipe them again.
Then reboot to TWRP and see if it's fixed
