Phone keeps restoring the stock recovery. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok this is giving me cancer! I'm flashing TWRP 2.8.1.0 and can enter this recovery immediately after flashing it. But, as soon as I reboot the phone, or boot the OS and then reboot into recovery, the recovery is restored to stock. I've flashed recoveries an unhealthy amount of times on several different devices but I've never seen this behavior before. I'm on stock Android 5.0 LRX21O.

I had this, but i reinstalled, but now it is working just fine, just needed to reinstall it

Won't flash CWM

I unlocked my bootloader and then tried to flash CWM, but after rebooting it goes back to stock recovery.
Creating a backup via CWM worked fine though, but somehow it won' flash over stock recovery
Anyone else having this problem ?

Yes it happened to me too. There was an option that I could select just before rebooting to prevent this, but it didn't work. I was on stock kk4.4.2 at that time, after installing cm11 nightly, the recovery partition was ok after the reboot. When I later restored the kk4.4.2 to see if it is possible, I had to flash the recovery partition again in order to restore cm11.

So you just flashed CM11, even though it booted back into stock recovery ?

Yes eventually Idid. Just like you, I made a backup while at cwm. After the reboot, the recovery partition was gone, and the fallen robot was shown when I selected it. I powered the motog off, did the volume down-power combination, reconnected the usb cable and entered the 'fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img' . After a sec or so I pressed vol down , then vol up, and I was back in revovery. Did a test to verify that the backed up kk4.4.2 worked, it did, did it all over again, and flashed cm11. This time, the question about persisting on reboot was not asked, and the revovery persisted.
Ps
I am trying to reach 10 posts in order to report a bug in the developers forum, so if it sounds like I am pulling your leg, I am not.

I did pretty much the same thing right now and just flashed CM11 and it's working. I did delete personal and system files before via CWM but somehow some pictures i took were still there after CM11 installed I'm also still running stock recovery
Everythings seems to work fine but still...strange

Yes I did a factory reset or something like that while on cwm just before restoring. Allways do that for a cleaner install. Since you see your photos, I guess you didn't do that part corectly.
If I where you, I whould do it once more, making sure you are flashing 'CWM 6.0.4.7 Swipe Recovery for 4.4 bootloader: CWM-swipe-6.0.4.7-falcon.img' from the thead of dhacker29.
Also make sure you flash the latest nightly directly from cyanogen. This compination will give you a persistant cwm and a 'official' dhacker29 cyanogen rom.
Only problem I have is with audio on csipclient, and the embeded one, but I will eventually reach 10 posts

I used CWM directly from their site, maybe that's why it isn't working probably.
You're right i should do a clean reflash, but I'm getting sick of constantly reinstalling and configuring everything

TWRP

When I attempt to go to Cofface's Baidu page to download his 5.1 TWRP version, I get a message saying the content is no longer available. Specifically, Google Translate shows "Lol, you visit the page does not exist." Does anyone happen to have a copy they're willing to share? Or is there some issue with the 5.1 version that would suggest that I shouldn't use it? If I shouldn't ask for some reason, I apologize. Otherwise, thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the link! I think I must have some deeper problems, as every time I flash this recovery (and another version I found in my old downloads), I just get stuck in a boot loop. I was able to use TWRP when I was on B015, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on B106. I'm using:
fastboot flash recovery c:\android\twrp_cn.img
However, like I said I just get stuck in a boot loop. When I flash the stock recovery, everything starts working again.

Did you unlock your bootloader?
Yes, it is. I was able to run TWRP when I was on B015. The phone is rooted, so I've just been using Titanium Backup to back everything up before I wipe the phone, but it would be nice to take a Nandroid backup instead of having to reinstall from TB.

Thats the same problem I have. I used the other twrp recovery https://mega.nz/#!l5kmUByA!41uExNuasZRgLBML9TTSp8myX-_F6UgQZuE2F2BRZUE
This one worked with out boot loops for me. you can give it a shot.
Thanks for the link! I can now get into TWRP. However (sadly), after I leave TWRP, it reboots directly back to TWRP. I've tried rebooting from TWRP into the system and shutting down, but each time, it just goes straight back to TWRP. I was able to boot into fastboot, so I reflashed the boot.img file, but it still goes straight to TWRP. I actually have had this issue before, and I wasn't ever able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as usual.

I had that exact same problem twice on Kangvip B015. When I would restart it would all of a sudden automatically boot into TWRP every time and never boot into the OS. When that happens, in TWRP make a backup, then Fastboot flash the stock ROM (system, boot, cust, recovery, user data etc) then when it boots do a factory data reset, then reroot, flash TWRP and restore from the backup you made. The OS will boot from your backup. I dunno why this happens, maybe it has something to do with with Kernel.
I've tried it a couple of times now, and I'm still not getting it to boot past TWRP once I flash the recovery. It was able to take a backup with TWRP, but when I restored it, I still had to restore the stock recovery before I could boot into the system. At worst, at this point, I can always flash TWRP, take a backup, flash the stock recovery, and then have my system back. It's a few extra steps, but I think I'll do this until I find a custom ROM that I like. I greatly appreciate the help so far.

Reflash the stock b106 recovery and wipe user data and cache, Then reflash twrp recovery and restore your backup. It should boot then.
To follow up, I tried using the updated version of TWRP that you (mtyler7807) posted in the development thread and following the instructions above. I can flash the recovery, boot into it, and take a backup. After that, as long as I boot into the system, I'm fine. However, once I boot into recovery for the first time after that initial backup, it just reboots into TWRP every time. So, right now, I took a backup a day or so ago, and I've just avoided going back in to TWRP again. I have another X2 on the way (a 32GB version), so I'm hoping that I'll have better luck with that one.

As far as I know, I have not. I did do a complete wipe of everything (except the SD card) at one point using TWRP, but I've always restored the system using the stock system.img file. Right now, the Cust folder is showing five folders, with several more folders/files underneath. Is there a particular file I should be checking for?

I don't think so. It's weird how some of us have different problems than others. I've had zero issues with TWRP but lately my screen has been going crazy. My touches don't work, things jump it's like my digitizer is messed up but when I restart everything is fine again. So I reloaded everything and the problem went away. I guess I debloated too much last time.

[HELP] Stuck on Recovery Bootloop after OTA Update (CM14.1) , can't access Fastboot

Hi,
Just for you to know:
Model: r7plusf
Recovery: TWRP 3.0.2-0
----------------------------------------
So earlier today I did an OTA update (cm-14.1-20161205-NIGHTLY-r7plus.zip), but couldn't get my phone to boot.
So naturally, I tried wiping Cache and ART cache, but was still bootlooping.
Thought there might be someting wrong with my ROM and data, so I formated data and Installed ROM and GAPPS again after ADB pushing them onto my phone.
Now, and although CM14.1 and GAPPS are successfully installed on my Oppo R7 Plus, I can't boot into the OS. Every time I try reboot system, whether through POWER_BUTTON, RECOVERY or ADB, I just boot into Recovery.
Worst of all, for some unknown reason, I can't get into BOOTLOADER, neither through button combination, nor through Recovery nor ADB.
I found this article (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/fix-recovery-loop-twrp-computer-t2873386) in the LG G3 thread about executing some shell commands, but I haven't tested testing it with my phone's variables because it might hard brick it...
Please Help!
[EDIT] I now have access to fastboot but still recovery looping like crazy.
I installed the same update via CyanDelta , worked like a charm ! hopefully you get back up and running.
[UPDATE] strangely I tried to flash stock recovery and boot CM13 and it worked!
Will try to flash twrp again and insall CM14
keep you up to date
Same thing happened to me! Where did you get a copy of the stock recovery? Link?

I had the same problem. Can't remember exactly how I resolved it. But I think, I use CM recovery to flash nightly. Then flash TWRP to flash gapps. For some strange reason, using CM recovery also show no enough disk space whenever I try to flash opengapps. But TWRP recovery can flash opengapps successfully.
Don't use the OTA, use adb sideload to flash the nightly next time. So far, adb sideload has not given me any issue to flash nightly.
Same problem...
I tried a lot of things nothing works and now I've installed the cm recovery but I have the "unauthorized phone" in terminal when I try to flash the ROM... I can do nothing because I can't enable the usb debugging. I don't know what to do.
If somebody can help I appreciate.

Since then I found how to fix it :
first of all I flashed cm13 through TWRP,
Then I flashed the stock recovery (Google it, I found it in OPPO forums) with fastboot,
After that I did a factory reset in the stock recovery,
Booted cm13 with stock recovery,
Then re-flashed TWRP,
From TWRP, I wiped both data and system partitions,
Then fresh installed cm14 and Gapps
And it worked!
Not sure if those are the exact steps I followed because all I did was a hole lot of messing around and trying absurd things out, but think this is how I fixed it.
Let me know if it worked for you or if you still can't fix your problem
Best of luck

Thank you very much!!!! I'll try tomorrow and tell you.
I appreciate a lot!
First of all now works but to be honest, I don't know if the way I fix makes sense or if is correct but not for the same reason I do but I'll try to explain...
I had cm-14.1-20161218-NIGHTLY and I tried to update via OTA to 20161220 the phone reboot and I get the bootloop. The first I thought, install again the ROM making wipe data and blabla... nothing work.
I tried to "reflash" the recovery, nothing. Flashed cm recovery, it always gave me error trying to flash the rom. I tried to install with stock recovery, errors too.
I was reading hundred of post looking for my issues, device unauthorized, "error 7" in twrp... I was crazy.
At last I thought, I've been trying to install from SDcard, if I try to install from internal memory? and I install again the twrp to transfer the ROM and Gapps to the internal memory and... it worked!!!!
Long story but with happy ending.

P3100 restarts itself, can't format factory, broken eMMC?

So, I flashed my p3100 with unofficial cyanogenmod 13. At first everything was working just fine and then I lent it to a friend then something funny happened. Now the tab can start just fine but it will restart itself after a minute or two. I've tried factory reset but nothing, everything remains the same. I tried formatting the storage in recovery mode but it's the same. I even tried flashing cmw recovery, currently it's on twrp, but it won't change. It's still on twrp. I tried flashing with stock rom using Odin but it always failed. I tried deleting some files... at first it seemed they were deleted but they were back again. It's like nothing can be done to the storage! Can you tell me what's wrong with my tab??? And possible solution? Thanks!

sounds like emmc. for more info read here http://andi34.github.io/faq.html
This is happening for me too. I'll use heimdall or something to flash twrp, it reports success but then rebooting into recovery has it still as stock.
It'll reboot after a minute or so, and any changes i made (uninstalling apps, removing widgts) get undone next reboot.
not working

See smart's post. Two post back. Click the link that he posted. Scroll to the bottom.

Kind of bricked my OPO in a weird way after 3 years.

I had been using Sultan's 6.0 ROM for a long time now. but it was causing issues and I wanted to try something new. I downloaded Tugapower (7.1) which I used before, and stock OxygenOS 2.1.4 flashable.
I did a nandroid backup of Sultan's ROM, I installed 7.1 which worked fine, and then wanted to test OxygenOS, which didn't boot, and then i proceeded to restore the backup. I left the phone to charge during restore, and I came back to see the phone massively hot and won't boot, not even into recovery. I checked fastboot and that worked.
I've tried a lot of stuff but none failed to boot.
Things I've tried:
1. Fastboot restore of CM11S - gets stuck at rom boot animation first try then bootloops at boot.
2.Fastboot restore of OxygenOS/CyanogenOS - same as above. Once it booted after i "Fixed Selinux" thingy from TWRP because I remembered that was an issue when i went back to 6.0 from 7.1 a few months back, but mobile data didnt work and it rebooted and started boot looping within seconds.
3. Fastboot restore of CM11s and then CM13 snapshot by recovery - bootloop
Recovery does not work by Power-UP-Vol. Only works once after flashing TWRP via OnePlus One Toolbox. and then bootloop if i try again.
ADB works in TWRP, i can also see my internal storage
4. Tried re enabling /persist partition using make_ext4fs
5. Tried MSMDownloadTool, drivers are fine, it flashes fine, but still says a lot of .img like recovery persist system userdata64 failed.
6. Tried Qualcom QSIF tool to restore ColorOS, same, flashes correctly, but still ROM does not boot.
7. Tried MiFlash to restore ColorOS, same as above.
Is my beloved OPO really gone? Or can i fix this somehow without taking it to Customer Care?
Fastboot works perfectly, also recovery works well when ColorOS is flashed. But just nothing makes the ROM boot. Also sometimes the battery starts counting down from 0 to the exact battery percentage

Here this one, it was weird, it never booted afterwards
Bump.
Update: The phone doesn't reboot anymore constantly, it just powers off after the initial oneplus logo
twrp sometimes shows symlinks error, and won't reboots if i Flash anything, cwm flashes fine but no system is booted

Device works fine when it is in TWRP? Like,no reboots or power off(s) whatsoever? Battery works fine in TWRP? Like,charging and stuff? If it does,then this is unlikely a battery issue,however,I would suggest you to remove battery(go through tutorials on youtube) and attach it again.
This has happened to me before,like if I'm not able to flash anything from TWRP then I just change/update recovery to unofficial/newer versions of it(did you tried this?) or,I just flash Cos13 through fastboot then it boots up fine and I flash TWRP again and boom,everything is back to normal.In cases where I'm even fail to flash Cos13(shows system error/system partition corrupt) or I'm not even able to boot to fastboot i.e.,hardbrick,I just use Cm11S restore tool(modified version of color os toolkit,you can find on general thread) and it flashes perfectly fine and boom,device is back!
I hope it helps!
Ps- This is the tool I'm talking about,

I always use this because after flashing from color os tool,I used to get bootloop,though fastboot mode was accessible then so I could just flash Cos13 through fastboot and I no longer get any system errors and it boots up fine.

Bump.
Update: The phone doesn't reboot anymore constantly, it just powers off after the initial oneplus logo
twrp sometimes shows symlinks error, and won't reboots if i Flash anything, cwm flashes fine but no system is booted

I think it's a battery issue. There are so many people facing the same issue. Trust me,just change your battery.
It happened to me once. I had to erase every partition via fastboot, not only system data and cache, but also modem, efs, recovery ecc. Then I flashed stock COS13.1 partitions images and it worked. Just remember: do NOT turn off or reboot your phone between the erase and the flash, it could hard brick the device!
edit: You should also backup your existing efs partition via recovery.
Fixed my device. For future reference, it was a battery issue, Just couldn't retain enough charge, enough to boot into recovery but not enough to boot any ROM, Changed battery and everything is back to normal
Fixed it Guys, Battery issue, had enough charge for recovery, but just couldn't boot a rom. Changed battery and everything's fine now
