[Q] Problem with recovery after upgrade to ics

Hi,
My wife has upgrade I think the incorrect version of ics 4.0.3 stock because when I try to go to the recovery by press power button and volume up the system crash. It seems that the bootloader is of 9020 instead of her 9023.
So I can't root or install cyanogenmod 9.
Any solutions?
Thanks.

I just used the fastboot flash to fix my recovery.img. Does the phone boot at all?

any information about system crash ?
i don't think it's problem of bootloader , i have i9023,
but that i9020KL1 if i remember it correct, is for both 9023 and 9020A/T , but can only boot up ICS system but can't boot GB system.

You can fastboot flash recovery.img again, then flash rom CM9. You can go to recovery.
I think rom stock can not flash recovery.

The phone work perfectly but when reboot pressing power + volume up and chose recovery it seems crash.. And I have to remove the battery to reboot. So I can't install any Cwm recovery or something like that..

Try flashing a new recovery from the bootloader before you choose recovery.

Power up + Vol up then STOP
Plug in USB to PC with drivers
use the fastboot program on PC to flash a fresh recovery image as
c:\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You didn't brake it , 9023 uses same boot loader as 9020 and this is one of the bugs in ics , if u research forum u can find info about this apparently u can see in in the bright light I could never see mine.

[REQUEST] Stock Recovery under KitKat doesn't start

My Moto G is a german Retail Version.
Yesterday i've discovered that stock recovery under US GLOBAL RETAIL KK doesn't work anymore. Green Android with red warning sign. Everything else was working fine. So today i went back to my country specific jelly bean firmware and stock recovery also was fine again.
Now i've sideloaded the german OTA update for KitKat via ADB. And again, the stock recovery doesn't work.
What could be the matter?
Someone else here with the same problems?

Not that I wish to sound condescending, but are you aware how stock recovery usually works? Static image that turns to a menu when you press power and volume up?

mine moto g is similiar
I have similiar question.
when I'm running fastboot there are this choices:
Normal powerup, Recovery, Factory, Switch console, Barcodes, BP tools
when I choose anything it will just power up the phone as normal powerup

Are you using volume up to choose?

yes

It doesn't work for me either. I have UK retail device flashed to 4.4.2 US retail.
Did you use TWRP recovery to install SuperSU maybe?

Not a problem for me. But i know how to use the stock recovery menu on the moto g.
I've used it to sideload the KitKat OTA update. The matter is that it doesn't work under KitKat anymore.

Looks like the same problem. And i doesn't use any custom recovery to push root on the device.
But after i'm going back to my country specific (jelly bean) firmware, also the stock recovery works again.
And i was able to sideload the KK OTA via ADB. System runs perfectly after that. But the stock recovery doesn't work again.

Have had the same issue on 4.3 , i went to recovery with adb: abd reboot recovery. Also on 4.4.2 i can`t get into recovery by pressing volume up and the power button, it boots up every time.

Powerbutton is wrong, you have to choose an entry with volume down and then press Volumen up to accept it.

if you have a custom recovery on 4.4.2 you must flash the motoboot from 4.3

gee, to get to recovery your phone need to be turned off and then you must hold three buttons (power button and both volume buttons) for a few seconds

Thru Bootloader, if you choose !!stock!!recovery with Volume Up it is really that the recovery just's shows the Android with a red Sign on it. No Menu no nothing. That happend only since the KitKat OTA.
And then 2hipso is right : Holding both Volumes + power for just 1-2 seconds shows the Menu.
plus : They finally fixed the order od the Menu as it seems.

How do you Boot into recovery? Over ADB?

I have the same problem on a french moto G. I sideloaded kitkat and now I can't boot into recovery. Not with the power/volume button, not with the booloader and not with adb ....

I dont think the reason is sideloading the OTA-Update. I had have the same Problem on the Global US bevore
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013 using xda app-developers app

well... maybe a bug
I did sideload OTA and my recovery menu is working... but if I choose something, nothing hapens. it will just turn on the phone

I think you are not in the recovery menu. Wich entries do you see?

Moto G ClockWorkMod Problems

Hi everybody, I recently rooted and installed ClockWorkMod through ROM Manager on my Moto G. I was going to flash Cyanogenmod 11 but CWM didn't recognized root for some reason. So I unrooted the phone and kept CWM because I couldn't find the stock recovery. Yesterday I decided to try flashing Cyanogenmod again but I also wanted to reflash CWM because mines wouldn't dectect root so I plugged it into my PC, ran the 1-click installer for CWM and when I boot to recovery it boots into Fastboot instead and boots into Android 5 seconds later no matter what I select. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks

I flashed CWM through fastboot but still nothing. I held down power and volume down to get into recovery but instead it went into fastboot and when I select Recovery it boots into Android. BTW I'm on 4.4.2 GPe.

Did you try flashing supersu through cwm? That should root it

I've actually decided to factory reset and start from scratch but the phone keeps rebooting when i try to reset it. I guess that means new Moto G

You do know that when you make your selection when in recovery you use volume up to select, not power

Help with stock recovery

I just reflashed the moto g stock recovery using moto tool so that I can flash the official 4.4.3(I was using TWRP before).But the thing is that when I reboot to stock recovery,there is this dead android logo but no options like wipe,apply update etc.Shouldn't these options be present in the stock recovery or did I do something wrong?I cannot tell if the recovery is working or not.

I don't think the stock recovery is supposed to have these options anyway... I think it does all the work when you apply an update in the settings... It automatically reboots to recovery and installs to make sure that users don't do it themselves.

It has wipe data/apply update options. When you see the dead android, you have to press the vol up button for 10-15 secs then tap the power button to get into the recovery.

No Volume Buttons. Is flashing custom recovery from 12s impossible?

Hey Guys,
I want to flash twrp to my OnePlus One, but CyanogenOS12S won't let me without a hardware boot into recovery mode. My OnePlus' volume buttons do not work, thus i cannot do a hardware boot to recovery mode. When i boot into cyanogenOS and try a software reboot into recovery mode it defaults to Cyanogen's stock recovery. (And yes I have unchecked "update Cyanogen recovery" in developer options)
Is there any way for me to flash and access a custom recovery? I very much hope there is as I would like to have this phone rooted to perform nandroid backups and to attemot to fix the low mic volume issue when im not on speakerphone.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Mrcalebw

easiest way is going to be fastboot flash a new recovery like twrp using fastboot. Just google. As of now you have stock cm recovery installed

Cannot leave the fastboot screen

Hey!
Thanks for the reply and help. I tried to do this, but once I
fastboot falsh recovery recovery.img' which is successful
then 'flashboot boot recovery.img' The fastboot screen lights up brighter and my oneplus disconnects from adb and my computer and i have to do a hard power off by holding the powerbutton.
And I'm back where i started without a custom recovery to boot into.

If your phone is rooted. I guess it would be. Then try this steps to reboot it to recovery
No need of pc.
1. Download TWRP manager from the play store
2. Open the app
3. Open menu in the app by touching the left top corner of the app.
4. Touch on the reboot option and then
5. Touch on the reboot to recovery and touch yes.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. The trouble is that i do not currently have root on my phone.
If its possible to get root, without having to boot into custom recovery that would be fantastic.
I'm beginning to feel like this might be a lost cause.
I'd love any suggestions though!

And how do i flash supersu zip from fastboot? Without having to temporarily boot into a custom recovery?
As far as I was aware you cant flash supersu unless you have a custom recovery installed, which i cannot install (original post issue)
If theres a command I'd be very grateful!

You can cannect your phone as adb right? Then try this tool.

I have tried a couple of toolboxes. The trick there is that adb commands only send once the phone has booted and is on debugging mode. When full boot happens, the cyanogen stock recovery overwrites the custom recovery.
