How did you select recovery in boot loader? To select you need to press volume up. If you use power button it will just reboot. I did same thing 4 times until I noticed volume IP was select button

I tried to use the search and google but didn't really find anything helpful. Almost 2 years ago, I unlocked the bootloader back on honeycomb and did custom recovery, root, and custom rom. Then a little while after ICS came out, I did the OTA update.
Today, I reset the xoom back to stock ICS and tried to unlock the bootloader again...thinking nothing of it. The process was taking a few minutes so I decided to get a snack and when I came back it was rebooting.
I assumed that it worked and continued to try and fastboot a recovery image. The recovery image installed and I did another reboot but was greeted with the android welcome screen. Anyways I went through the menus and then tried to enter recovery and it gave me an android laying on its back with and exclamation point above his open chest.
I hard rebooted and can still get into my device, but adb cannot seem to find my xoom anymore. I have tried it on a 64bit desktop and laptop with no luck.
Have I messed up? Or is there a simple fix that I am missing? Thanks in advance for any help!
Can you get into fastboot mode? The second time you unlocked did you have to go through the questions on your xoom again?

Yes, I can get into fastboot by holding the volume down key and the power button. That's fastboot, right?
Yes, I had to go through the menus the second time I unlocked.
sounds like the recovery you try to fastboot did not take or the rom was corrupt.. Which recovery was it? Do you want to be rooted and run a custom rom or completely stock? what xoom do you have(wifi, 3g, 4g)

With whichever recovery is best. I tried flashing this recovery:

I am on a 4G xoom on 4.0.4 but I don't use my data plan. I would like to be on a nice stable build of 4.2.
Download your rom choice, gapps and put them on the root of your sd card. If they are already there skip this step
I like TWRP Recovery the best. Easy to use and lots of options.
download this Twrp 2.4 img to the folder you hve fastboot in
open a cmd prompt in that o that folder
type fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.4.1.0.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
You should be in twrp 2.4
select backup/restore and backup your current system
select install and find your rom select asnd then swipe to flash
when done then select home
select install again and find the gapps package and install
when done select wipe dalvick/cache
when done select reboot
select system
you should be good to go.
Well I got through all of the steps, but when I try to boot I get stuck in a loop of the roms boot logo. Is it okay to flash a wingray rom over a stingray device?

I think it is fine just the 3g/4g won't work.
I can get you going again but you are going to be starting with a locked honeycomb device. You will then have to either let it update to ICS or JB or unlock, root, install custom recovery and flash a rom. What xoom do you have 3g or 4g?

Okay I restored it again but this time i did a factory reset and wipe dalvick before flashing the rom and gapps. It works! Thank you for your help!
However, could I ask how to root this thing?
since you have a custom recovery on it already and are unlocked.
Download this file Universal xoom root place it on the root of your sd card and flash it. Then reboot and try a root required app such as root checker

Hey guys. I can't seem to get into Recovery on my XT925 for the life of me.
From power off, I press Power + Vol Up to get the boot selection screen, select "recovery" from the list, and the phone reboots into the OS.
I've flashed both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Different versions of each too. But every time I hit "Recovery" it loads the OS and I can't flash any ROMS.
Another weird thing. When I'm in Fastboot and enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it just reboots into Fastboot again.
Can anyone help?
i dont know what the problem is but you could try downloading rom manager, it has an option to reboot into recovery, and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted my 4.1.2 stock rom, installed ROM Manager, flashed the recovery, and when it goes into Recovery, I get an Android with it's belly open, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. It stays there 1 minute, and it boots. I've tried everything. Any help is appreciated.

That screen is your stock recovery. Hold vol+ and tap pwr at the same time and you'll boot into recovery. Also, after you install the recovery, you need to immediately boot into it so the update binary can complete. Otherwise, your stock recovery will over ride. Honestly, it's just easier to flash a recovery in fastboot. That's the option I've used every time.

I flashed the recovery, booted into Recovery from ROM Manager, but I get the same screen, and no key combination is able to get me into recovery.
I'm actually trying to install CyanogenMod. I downloaded cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. To flash it through fastboot, every example uses an IMG file, not the zip file. To flash it through fastboot, should I unzip cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and flash the boot.img inside it? Or just rename .zip from .img?
Tks

Sweet! Good to see you got it to work. I'm not sure why, but ROM manager doesn't always seem to work.
I'm not able to enter in recovery mode using key combination pwr + vol key up and down (pressed simultaneously).
I'm only able to do this using CMW manager (Reboot into recovery). I've flash (using fastboot) recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt925.img, but it not accessible using key combination and relative menu (If the menu choose to boot into recovery mode, it start full boot and go into OS).
I've flashed CM10, but for access to recovery i've used CMW manager. I want to have the opportunity to enter directly into recovery in case of bad flash.
Where I'm wrong?
Thanks a lot

So you get the : normal pwr, rec, & etc list but when you scroll vol down & then vol up to select the recovery it boot normal?
I use : all keys hold till screen out. Then while keeping on both vol toggle pwr off , on & off. Boot menu list.
If that fails, post your sequence of events.

OK. So. This is the sequence:
1. Power key + Vol UP and DOWN pressed at the same time i'm able to show menu with "Recovery" option into list (others are AP Fastboot, Normal PWR, ecc)
2. Using Vol UP/DOWN key i go to Recovery option end press Power key
..phone start normally...not into recovery. I'm able to start recovery only using CWM manger or ADB.
My current recovery is ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.4
Thanks

You are not reading!
Final action vol up to select!
Tougher than stock recovery! I guess the bootloader engineers never used their own recovery.

Well post all the recoverys you used, starting w/ the 1st.
Also where you got them.
Something has borked you.
Hello, I bought a OnePlus one (came with CM11 - 4.4.4) and followed the standard steps to root it
1) unlock bootloader - successful, phone got factory reset, checked the status using fastboot
2) Flash custom recovery (TWRP) using fastboot - always "okay" message
3) The phone DOES NOT boot to recovery after this - it gets stuck at the 1+ logo, or remains stuck for a few seconds and goes to normal reboot. -I've tried using fastboot to reboot phone while holding down volume button
Please help! i've look this problem up and haven't found a solution.
I tried 2.7.0.0, and the latest 2.8.5.1, along with 2.8.6.0, along with trying to use the one plus tool kit. Using the toolkit, even flashing the stock recovery, then booting it didn't work.
after you flash recovery in fastboot, do not issue the fastboot reboot command. you need to manually power off the phone by keeping the power button pressed till it powers off

As the other posted mentioned you have to fastboot flash twrp (2.8.6.0) then power off phone and use volume down + power button combo to get to recovery. Its flashing but if you boot to OS it will be overwritten by CM recovery hence booting directly will alleviate that
Boot into os, enable dev options by tapping the build number a bunch of times in settings-about phone section, go back and go into settings-developer options, make sure "update cyanogen recovery" is unchecked. Flash recovery again, and like people have said, power off the phone and use volume down and power buttons together to boot into recovery.
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried all the above s and none of them have worked
Should I try unlocking the bootloader again?
I recommend going to this guide and following it closely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
As for which version of TWRP to use, I recommend this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059048
I've been playing with some Pie roms (with repartition) with my nexus 5. But since I needed to pass SecurityNet, I decided to go back to stock rom.
I tried to reflash the stock rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...om-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299 and the official method by google, but I ended on a bootloop.
I tried to flash twrp again (I can access to bootloader) and flash another pie rom (who previusly worked). But I'm getting bootloop again.
What can I do?
after you flash stock image just go to recovery mode and do factory reset

After flashing and entering in the recovery, a android logo with an exclamation mark is showed... I have to flash twrp too or something?
after you see that exclamation mark i think you should press vol up/down or maybe power button to enter recovery mode, i forgot that cuz never use stock recovery for a long time. i think you can try to flash twrp and then do wipe/factory reset

fastboot update image-*
That finished to flash the imagen and the phone boot well as usually. :good:
twrp installed successful ...
after that if am trying to go to recovery ...it will open stock recovery (comes with phone)

When you flash TWRP, after it flashes, you then have to boot into recovery before you boot to any of your device's other modes, if you allow the device to boot into any other mode BEFORE booting to recovery, it will revert back to stock recovery. The very next thing you have to do after flashing TWRP is to boot immediately into recovery before you do anything else, then it will keep TWRP recovery.
Flash the TWRP recovery via fastboot, then type the command:
adb reboot recovery
Or
Flash TWRP via fastboot then disconnect the device and power the device off, then press and hold the correct button combination to boot into recovery.
