TWRP for ics port could not boot to recovery...need help please....

I already try to reflash for almost 10 times and each and every time was unsuccessful to make the twrp working on my device...
anybody has any idea what went wrong?
i flash the ics port from xbsall currently using V21A baseband and root succesfuly using the guide from the development thread.
however once i install the p940 recovery and granted superuser it could never boot to recovery.
i did make the twrp successfully boot to recover and make a backup 2 days ago. but because i flash the wrong baseband and messed up with my imei i decided to reflash all over again.
and tough luck it never reboot to recovery ever since.
please help... i'm dying to try xbsall newest room with acid sound....

I am in the same situatiom.
If someone can provide alternative or manual way it will be great.

ok, i did some research and found how to do the fastboot.
i can go into the fastboot mode.
but what should i type?
once i type fastboot.exe there are a lot of command
should i type" flash <recovery>\path\to\stockicsrecovery.img" ????
please show me how to do it.
thanks

Type:
"fastboot.exe flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery.img"

i'm sorry i'm such a noob but where can i download the recovery.img?
i had twrp running a couple of days ago before i accidently messed my imei.
i did a twrp backup with twrp booting to recovery successfully.
is there any way i could restore the backup using fastboot?
thanks for your help.
i'm desperately try to make twrp work in my phone. just don't know what went wrong. i installed the p 940 recovery.apk and install twrm and granted the superuser permission.
but when i reboot it normally reboot to the system and not recovery.... :crying:
edit:
i found your thread regarding the twrp berni...it is for GB right? so back to square one. where can i find the ics recovery image? thanks

Did u try holding volume down while booting?

Forget flashing Recovery partition if using ICS.
Specific TWRP/CWM recovery uses the 2nd init method and has nothing to do with recovery partition.

I have the same problem!
the installation of the .zip-file takes 2 sec.
it isn't normal for a size of 429 mb.
what's the problem

you can use the app that you used to install recovery to go in recovery mode,
3d+vol down+power doesnt work on me.

Correct key combination for twrp in ICS is Vol- and Power

How to set up an adb
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

ADB might not be loading for him - Desire HD kernel is probably crashing on load, so ADB daemon won't be running.
OP, I believe you've panicked and/or don't know how to get to bootloader. Flashing a ROM from another phone doesn't do anything for your bootloader if the /system partition is mounted correctly, and that means - if you see the phone powering on, you can still access HBOOT and recovery.

Remove the battery and put it back. With pressed volume down key press power burton. Wait a while until htc logo dissapear and using volume keys select recovery. Tap power button once more and you will get into recovery mode. Now you can use adb or enable usb mass storage, put correct one rom on your sdcard and flash it.

Can't Open CWM !?

the problem started when i reboot my skyrocket then i entered CWM then i went to extras and " format /system " i just did it and reboot my device and it didn't turn on the samsung logo just appear and disappear every time i turn on the device
...
and now i can't enter CWM to flash a custom ROM ... can any one help me to enter it or recover my device

Why would you wipe your OS without flashing a new one? It won't boot because it has nothing to boot. Shut the phone off and boot into cwm manually.

Please tell me you didn't really do that.
The ONLY reason you should format /system is if you're installing a new ROM, and even then you should flash the ROM pre-reboot. Simply put, formatting /system erases the Android OS.
Check the stickies for info on re-flashing stock.

Hold vol and down and power button. When you see Samsung let go off the power button but still hold the volumes

It depends on if your phone is US or Canadian. I think you should push both volume up and down plus power. Let go of power button as soon as phone vibrates, hold on to volume buttons until CWM shows up. There's no point to let them go when you see samsung/model number, sometimes it goes right to boot if you let go of the volumes to early. That's why i usually hold both of them down until i see CWM.

Weird Issue With Gtab 2 10.1

Well here is the deal. I was trying to install twrp recovery but couldn't get into odin mode..I tried vol- & pwr, vol+ & pwr..but to no avail. Only way to boot into odin mode is with adb commands, but when I go into odin mode it doesnt display my flash count or model of the tab. Any help would be appreciated..

Is your tab being detected by the comp in Odin mode..?

Thanks for the reply..Well I didn't try because I didn't see any of the information in the top left..would reflashing stock firmware like this work or result in brick.

Do u all have the backup on the old rom. IF yes try to restore the old Rom and retry to download and retry to install it again.

Well my tab is stock..I wanted to root and flash twrp recovery

Yeah its blank only if you use adb or the device reboot options for some reason. I guess since if you use volume buttons it shows a warning screen but doesnt with adb. You can check flash count and stuff in TriangleAway.

Ohh..well yea I see that now because now I'm rooted on cm10.1 and the flash counter in triangle away is now at 3 but it doesn't show anything in Odin mode..anyways thank you.

stuck on lg logo

Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I was trying to go back to stock to flash new twrp but when i wiped through advanced it wiped my phone completely. I wasnt able to get back on the Rom and now I can only get back to twrp by doing the hard factory reset. what is the best way to get my phone back? it was twrp 2.3.2 if it helps

Since your phone can not boot you must use that mode to go back to your original firmware, that I can not help you with because I have a sprint variant
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

if you have custom recovery then use adb sideload and push rom of choice and that's it but if u want to go back to stock then search for threads in xda which clearly describe them.

Use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369 is very easy. Or you can push the rom by RECOVERY
adb push D800_Stock_KK.zip/data/
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip/data/
Good Luck

thank you my pc is not recognizing my g2 so I am going to backtrack reinstall the drivers to see if it makes a difference

I think the easiest way is to restore from pc, just to be able to recognize your phone to your computer

Hey guys, today my phone downloaded the update from at&t and to get rid of notification to install I selected install later. Well it did just that. Now I am in a bootlop of cwm and no matter what I do can I download to "download mode" or boot up. Also, I have tried a ton of new drivers and added adb to my windows 8.1 however when under command prompt i type ...adb devices...it doesnt list any device. I cannot sideload anything without the phone being recognized.
Please help!!!

Custom recovery

Dude, it looks like you have soft-bricked your phone. Do you have any custom recoveries installed? Are you running CM or any stock ROMS (non-AT&T)?
I ran into a boot loop earlier. Luckily I had custom recovery installed. Try these steps to get into custom recovery:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.

I was able to fix it thankfully. Just had to reinstall adb from a previous file. I followed this thread
