So I just installed CM11 using TWRP and the rom was running fine, I then boot into recovery to flash a kernal and when I try to do a back up of my rom it gives me an error that it can't mount data. I then tried to restore my old rom and it still is not able to mount data. I tried rebooting multiple times and still nothing. Now i'm not able to even boot into bootloader or recovery, not even using adb, my phone just vibrates when I push the power and volume keys. I can for restart and the htc logo comes up, but then it just goes black and back to the vibrations... No idea what's going on. Help? :crying::crying:

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks
Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!
well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty
boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
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.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.
My phone was working fine till this morning when I had some weird phantom touch issues. So I thought to simply reboot my phone and see if that helps.
When I rebooted... it went straight into TWRP Recovery (2.8.0.1).
I tried System Reboot from there. Straight back into TWRP.
I tried restoring an old backup and rebooting. Straight back into TWRP.
I tried factory reset, wiping everything manually, installing new roms, installing old roms (all of which have worked before)... everything just booted into recovery instead of system rebooting.
I tried powering off and booting into Fastboot by holding down Power + Vol Up buttons. The phone can turn off successfully, but it will not enter Fastboot. I just get a black screen after the 1+ square logo.
Whatever I do, my phone seems to be stuck in recovery. What can I do to fix it? Thank you!

I am having a same problem. Did above post worked?
I tried booting into recovery today, and my R7 Plus just boots normally. It gives the vibrate indication, and then the OPPO logo flashes on for a split second... but then it gives up booting into recovery, the screen goes black again, and the phone boots normally.
If I hold down volume [-] and power, it keeps flashing the Oppo logo and then black screening every second until I let go of the buttons. It seems to me like it keeps trying to boot into recovery and then something goes wrong. After I let go of the buttons, it boots normally.
Booting to recovery through Flashify didn't work; it gave the same Oppo logo-flash before turning back and booting normally.
For some more background, after rooting my phone, I did some deleting of .com files and other Oppo-associated apps/files; I'm not a fan of ColorOS and any Oppo bloatware, so I probably deleted some pretty important stuff. Actually, I'm pretty sure I deleted something important along the way.
I would like to do a clean install to get all of the key firmware modules/files back, I can't do that without access to recovery. I tried unrooting and installing an official update, but that failed since I can't access recovery. What's more, I can't re-root because, again, recovery isn't available; Oppo Tools isn't working.
If I do a factory reset, does that restore all of the ColorOS data, including restoring deleted OS files, or does it just delete my user data and I still won't be able to boot into recovery? Is there a way to flash a stock ROM without recovery mode being available?

Hi there, i know its been a long time. But i wanna know, have you solved your problem? If yes, could you please share how to fix it. Because im in the same situation right now.
Thank you.
Hi there, having just the old casual phone crisis. I was running cyanogenmod 12.1 for awhile and decided to finally upgrade to a nougat 7.1 build.
I tried using this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3492150 using adb sideload as I had tried a earlier one and the gapps messed up so I wasn't able to put twrp back on the phone. The rom said it had installed successfully but I wasn't able to sideload gapps, I kept getting an error status 255. I went ahead and just tried to load the rom without gapps and see if I could install it slowly through APKs. I managed to get past the initial android load and the services started up, and it got in an endless crash loop because the phone service wouldn't start. So I went to try and flash another rom and was going to delete the cache. When I went to delete the cache the phone hung for about an hour so I tried to just reset it into recovery mode again.
Now when I hold the power button and volume down key to into fastboot mode I can. I have access to the initial screen with the four options, but when I try to start recovery mode or start the phone my screen goes black, and it'll flash the dead android symbol with the error saying unable to mount cache, it only flashes it for like half a second then goes black and repeats every 10-15 seconds.
I tried holding power down, doing volume up, and letting go to do a hard factory reset but it does nothing. I also can't seem to access the adb sideloading anymore, I'm very scared that it's hard bricked, is there anything I can do at all to fix this.
Flash a new version of the recovery via fastboot. Then do a full wipe. After that install the ROM only! Reboot recovery (not system but recovery) then reflash the ROM (no wipe) and add everything else. Hope this helps you out.
The phone may not boot the ROM without wiping data if installing a 7.1 ROM over a 5.1.1 ROM.
So, I just decided to try and Flash the old TF101 with Katkiss 6.0.1 and Gapps, but I always get stuck on the same problem.
My TF101 is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and USB Debugging is on
I downloaded TWRP app on the transformer, as well as the latest .blob flash file through the app.
Before this, I rooted the tablet using Kingroot.apk, which worked. When I went to flash the tablet with the recovery, the app noted "Recovery Partition not found".
I tried to boot into recovery mode on my own, (Pressing Pwr + Volume down , Then hitting Volume Up), The android screen popped, up and then flashed to a fallen android with a red triangle.... The screen stays on this for a minute and then boots into the normal system. I can't even boot into recovery through ADB, using the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
, The tablet will just reboot normally, not into recovery mode.
The Device does recognize through ADB....
Is my recovery partition just non existent? Even when I just let the system though without pressing volume up, it only gives me the option of (Android) or (Erase Data). when I click erase data, ill stay on the asus loading screen indefinitely and nothing will happen until i turn it off and on.
I just cant seem to boot into TWRP for some reason, and that means I just cant install the downloaded custom ROM.
How Can I fix this and boot into TWRP? I've tried for hours and have been hung up due to the same problem each time, even after rooting.
Did you already solve that problem? I also need a solution.Thanks
