[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery refuses to install on Xoom 3.2.1

So, basically, the details on the Xoom:
Android Version: 3.2.1
Build: HTK75D
Kernel: 2.6.36.3-g111d827 [email protected] #1
Bootloader is unlocked
I am trying to install Tiamat's Clockworkmod image via the ADB method. I do exactly these steps:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery Tiamat-*********-cwm.img
According to the adb console, it says it flashed correctly, and the fastboot also gives the same confirmation.
fastboot reboot
I boot up normally, and run:
adb reboot recovery
It then gives me the dreaded ! mark.
I've spent more than 5 hours trying to get the recovery working, and have tried re downloading the img, changing cables , and the only method that gave me a small glimpse of hope is flashing another img file (cwm 3.0.2.8 flashed) which worked once and then reverted to the ! mark.
Help? If any other info is needed, I will gladly provide.

try this:
1) Flash the recovery via bootloader and the fastboot command
2) After the flash, issue fastboot reboot to reboot the xoom
3) At the M logo during bootup, start hitting the volume down until you see Recovery on the top left corner then hit volume up to select it
That should get you into clockwork mod recovery, after you flash the root package you'll be good to go

Scsa20,
Has this been verified?
Should the offending files, (/system/recovery-from-boot.p OR
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) be removed per Joe Ferreira's post?
I will try this fix after it has been verified (I've given you a thanks already )

(Q) Boot Loop fix

Well my dumb fast moving self has backfired once again. While using chain fire 3D I have now got myself stuck in a boot loop. I have tried wipe data both from menu and from paperclip. I have tried getting latest firmware from asus site and using RCK but for some reason it just shows me a dead DROID. So any tips would be great I can't send it back because it's unlocked and rooted. So if anyone knows of a way to get RCK or the wipe data's to work I would be forever in your debt

You have to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. BUT, be sure to flash the correct version of TWRP. Flashing the wrong TWRP recovery blob can brick your tablet.
Since, you did not mention the firmware version running on your tablet, we can only guess...
If you were on Android 4.0.x (also known as Ice Cream Sandwich or ICS), you need to flash TWRP blob with "-ICS" suffix. For example, openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-ICS.blob.
If you were on Android 4.1.x (also known as JellyBean or JB) before ASUS firmware version 10.6.1.8, you need to flash TWRP blob with "-JB" suffix. For example, openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-JB.blob.
If you were on ASUS firmware version 10.6.1.8 (Android 4.2.1) you need to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob.
If you were on ASUS firmware version 10.6.1.15.3 (Android 4.2.1) you need to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob.
And, if you have TF300TG model, get the TWRP blob with -tf300tg-. Once again, flashing the incorrect TWRP can brick your tablet. So, please be extra careful.
To download the necessary TWRP recovery blob files, and for the instructions on how to flash it to your tablet, visit the TWRP official website for TF300T(G) here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/97
After flashing the correct TWRP recovery, you can now launch the TWRP recovery via RCK. From there, you can flash ASUS stock firmware to fix your bootloop. I would recommend following method 3 outlined in the GUIDE found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982

How is this supose to work if my RCK always shows a dead DROID. And how do I get fast boot to work when fast boot freeze when I click the usb icon

"If you were on Android 4.1.x (also known as JellyBean or JB) before ASUS firmware version 10.6.1.8, you need to flash TWRP blob with "-JB" suffix. For example, openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-JB.blob."
I believeThis is the Firmware i was On but im still not sure how to get fastboot to work. or RCK
EDIT: Seems that Link you provided to learn how to put the recovery on is out of date,
EDIT II: "You will need fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.blob and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob" - Will ya translate to english , And as I said when i go into fastboot mode and click the USB icon it freezes.
EDIT III: 10.4.2.20 is my model # i belive
EDIT IIII : Downloaded fastboot But cant run it . i open fastboot and it just closes. Any ideas?

connect your phone
reboot to fastboot (in one of the following ways)
- use phone shutdown menu (if reboot to bootloader is there)
- use adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
- start phone with holding down volume down + power
flash recovery via fastboot: "fastboot flash recovery <path to recovery here>/recovery.img
You should see 2 lines: writing recovery .. OK, flashing recovery.. OK.
If You already have older version of CWM, be sure to back up system first. When something happens during flash, You don't like the new CMW version or recovery image is corrupt for some reason, You can always flash Your old recovery back.
Your phone must be rooted and bootloader unlocked.
Check out more detailed instructions at http://www.androidauthority.com/desire-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-55857/ (in Instructions paragraph)
And as always: do it on Your own risk! Happy flashing!

I think this shouldn't be a problem, since this is a standard image and I think that flashify uses DD or similar to write appropriate partition. You should check with the app developer, though!

stuck at motorola boot animation

hey all
i did backup of system and i wanted reboot the phone now will show Motorola boot-animation and will reboot again and again with same place , i didn't touch anything .
Best Regards

Can you get into the fastboot menu (hold volume down and then power) or into the recovery (from the fastboot menu)? Also, have you unlocked the bootloader and/or flashed a rom?

Did you try flashing recovery from fastboot mode? If not, try following the instructions on the TWRP website (minus the "adb reboot bootloader" part, of course).

Did you try flashing the kernel? I can verify that the Optimus kernel and the TWRP from the Multirom thread work, so I'd recommend trying that combination.

The MultiROM TWRP itself doesn't install multirom, I just know it works, while some other recovery images don't. You will be able to flash a different recovery once you fix your problem.
I forgot that a kernel can't be readily flashed via fastboot... You should try downloading a stock firmware package and flashing at least boot and system.

How to install this?

Works on dual sim?

Anyone?

Can We USe FOr HTC Desire 826x Dual Sim.?

please update download link

Yes

I found what appears to be a mirror to the dead link in the OP - I've attached it to this post.
However, the OP also has a newer 3.1.1-0 build available from the GitHub link (from post #1):
https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_htc_a56uhl/releases
I've unlocked my bootloader, put in a micro sd and booted up twrp with fastboot boot recovery.img to do a stock backup. Then rooted with the latest Magisk zip. So far, so good :good:

Hey @sabpprook, I tried to build twrp myself with your device git repo (cloned in "device/htc/a56uhl/"). Used the minimal twrp manifest from here (twrp-6.0 branch). After successful build, device just freezes on fastboot screen after executing "fastboot boot out/target/product/a56uhl/boot.img". Any ideas?
Update: Nvm got it to work!! Did a clean set up (repo init and sync).

Hi, a friend of mine has accidentally deleted all of her photos (HTC Desire 825). Is it possible to get them back via:
unlock bootloader -> twrp recovery -> suppersu -> diskdigger ? Or is there no point of doing that?

I have a weird issue after flashing the TWRP on my Desire 825.
After i power off the phone and plug in the charger - TWRP launches and the screen is unresponsive (i cannot "slide to unlock" in TWRP) and have to restart the phone by pressing Power+Vol Up+Vol down.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Having flashed twrp on many phones and this is the first time such behaviour....

Ok, i've managed to find it This is the stock recovery IMG, working fine, extracted from original firmware.

Credits go to nkk71 https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2605798 for the great tool to exctract the firmware image,
without it i wouldn't accomplish the task.
If the link will die, PM me, i'll reupload.
