Ok so I used the sticky on the top of the android development to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
Go to JB. Where we odin the 99percent factory image that allows us to flash a custom recovery
And keep our data. However after I flash the recovery in part 2 I can't boot into recovery to do step
3. When I hold home power and the up button it says its booting recovery.. however simply boot loops.
So I am stuck with a stock jellybean. I have no backup unfortunately. I want to be able to get this working
Any help?
Is this happening to others?
So I flashed the new synergy to try out the multiwindow pinning, but had the intention of going back to my nandroid right after trying it out. After flashing it and booting it up, and trying it out, I tried going back to my recovery (TWRP). But when my phone showed the TWRP welcome screen, it just stuck there and flashed every couple of seconds (like every 5 seconds) instead of going up and revealing the recovery. So I pulled battery and tried the hardware keys for recovery. It did the same thing. So I tried booting back up to my system, but it kept trying to go into recovery, so I went to download mode and pressed the down button to reboot (this time successfully). I did this about three times, and it kept failing to go to recovery. So I decided the flash cwm. With cwm I was able to get to recovery and move around in the menus, but as soon as I try factory resetting to flash another rom I had on my sd card, it froze. So I rebooted back up to my system using the download mode again. So now I have a booting phone but my recoveries don't work. I have flashed roms numerous times without problems, I checked to make sure my bootloader is unlocked, and am rooted. Can anyone tell me how to get my recoveries to work?
Edit: I just tried goo manager and installed the latest twrp. It went to recovery. Ill edit if I have any other issues.
I have been having this issue with flashing recovery on my Nex5 ever since I installed lollipop(factory image).
I have repeatedly tried to install TWRP (2.8.2.0) on my device but it just doesn't seem to stick no matter what I try.
Each time it gets installed but as soon the the system reboots, its gone. If I directly boot into the recovery from fastboot or bootup recoveryafter flash without restarting the bootloader, the TWRP logo shows up and then the device just restarts.
Please help me out here. Really want to go back to PA4
Thanks
You probably updated to LRX21O through OTA.
Go back to 4.4.4 through factory image. Boot system once. Reboot to bootloader. Flash twrp. Using vol keys, boot to recovery directly from bootloader. Flash PA.

Hi,
I tried yesterday to return my Nexus 5 to a stock image so that I could do OTA updates. I realised after that I also had to return it to stock recovery because TWRP was not letting it work.
using this tutorial, I booted into the latest TWRP image, which only caused my phone to go into a boot loop, only making it as far as the Teamwin screen. The phone will not load the bootloader to do anything with fastboot.
what are my options?

What do you want to do exactly? Restore stock recovery so that you can take the OTA? If you followed either one of the methods on that thread, you should already be stock, i don't get why you booted TWRP again.
Hi,
As I mentioned, following that tutorial, I just booted into the TWRP image. It wasn't that tutorial I used to flash the stock image. All that I did was get back to the stock android.
I originally did try using their method, but wasn't able to get the .sh script to run so I used another tutorial to flash the android image, but didn't have a boot or recovery that I flashed. I was able to download the update now and tried installing, but it would take me to the TWRP recovery and say that the update failed.
I was following the optional steps at the bottom, thinking that was what I needed to lock everything back up, clearly that wasn't right.

That's what I am asking...I can't load into anything on the Nexus to use fastboot, it is stuck loading into this TWRP image.

Press and hold power for 30 second, the device will try to boot but just keep holding the power. Then press and hold vol down and power. It doesn't boot into the bootloader?

Hi,
I tried this again today and was able to get into it. Yesterday it didn't want to boot into it for some reason. Followed the tutorial I posted from the start to re-flash everything, and so far seems to be working. Hasn't loaded into android yet, just stuck on the loading screen, hoping it's just the initial start up that sometimes takes a while.

FYI the TWRP boot loops are due to MTP bug that was never fully fixed from 2860. It's better than it used to be, but still an issue occasionally, especially if connected to power while you try to get in to TWRP.
Hey. I dont understand I flash the custom recovery with odin but when i go into recovery I have stock recovery. I have tried twrp and Clockwork. Non works, The flash process is passed and complete. I wait for the phone to reboot and let it start up shut it down. Then go into recovery mode. I have taken out the battery before it starts up and go into recovery straight away but still stock... what is going wrong? I have heard about bootloader But all say its no bootloader on for s2 plus. Any help is appreciated! Thank you. If something is unclear please ask. :good:I have tried 6 custom recovery's non works. but will flash

Your mistake is you are letting it boot into system before you boot into recovery. It doesn't work like that, you obviously haven't carefully and completely read the instructions to install custom recovery via Odin.
You have to flash the recovery and then boot immediately into recovery BEFORE allowing the device to boot into any other mode, otherwise, it reverts back to stock recovery.
Here is the simplest way to do this without screwing it up.
When you flash the recovery in Odin, make sure the "autoreboot" option in Odin is UNCHECKED, then flash the recovery. When it is done flashing, disconnect the device from PC, then, you have two options, either remove the battery then immediately reinsert the battery then boot into recovery using the button combination or disconnect device from PC then power the device off then boot into recovery using the button combination.
