[Q] Clockwork Mod Recovery Failure

I have searched and can't find out anything about this, but for some reason I can flash recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-hammerhead.img through fastboot and then get into CM recovery. However, if I leave recovery and try to boot into it again, I get the dead droid picture. I can flash CM again and it'll work, but again, for a single use. I've never had this problem before on any Droid I've owned and I can't seem to find anyone dealing with it in this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No this phone is not rooted. I have unsuccessfully attempted this with CM (upon exiting recovery mode, you are prompted to root your phone if it hasn't been rooted).

It sounds like you're using 'fastboot boot recovery.img' as opposed to 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

You should also search the rules and list in he correct forum. This is not for questions only development

also, clockwork mod recovery is long discontinued and provides no support anymore.

First of all, sorry about the wrong forum. My bad.
Secondly, I used flash recovery as my fastboot command. I've done it a few times now. It just won't stick.

In any case, I can flash something else since CM is no longer supported. Thanks.

Try locking the bootloader and rebooting. Does it stay locked? Or is it still unlocked? You may have a bad eMMC.

First of all dump CWM. As another poster said, it's outdated and no longer supported. Get TWRP.
Second, don't use auto-root, it can be problematic. If you want to root, do so by flashing the latest SuperSU binary in TWRP.

Fair enough. I actually installed CM instead of TWRP on the advice of a friend. I use TWRP on my tablet. I installed the latest SuperSU via CM and it accomplished nothing. That said I can go ahead and put TWRP on it and give it another shot.
Is there a TWRP img that I can use for flash recovery? Also, can I flash a recovery over another?

Word. Thanks.
Next order of business is figuring why there is so much lag when I text/gchat in 5.0. This is the whole reason I got into this mess. I couldn't wait 3 more weeks. Sadly, when I type, the keyboard freezes constantly. I figure I'll install a recovery mode correctly and then try to tackle that problem.

problems flashing TWRP 2.8.1
Hi. I have 2.3.2.3 version (the last version flashable using the app "TWRP manager") of TWRP recovery and I have to update to the version above to install Lollipop into my asus tf101. How can I flash this version 2.8.1.1 to my tablet? simply flashing it as .rar file with the recovery I still have (as a ROM)?
thank you!

I don't know where you downloaded the recovery. It is a .zip not a .rar.
And while reading the op you will notice the word flashable.
Just download the .zip to your device and flash it with your current recovery
Download flashable TWRP 2.8.1.1 zip for TF101:
signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip
TWRP 2.8.1.1 MD5 sum for TF101:
signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip.md5

Installation
Hello all,
Is it me or there is no guide on how to flash this? I'm running stock recovery and Android 4.0.3 and I'm root. There is no flash option on stock recovery.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

I can't seem to get this recovery working. I'm flashing it from TWRP 2.3.2.3 on a tf101g but, although the it reports a successful flash and I observe the blue-green bar on the next boot, if I try to boot into the new recovery, it just hangs. I do see an error regarding being unable to mount /staging immediately after the flash mind. Given that this is where the blob is flashed to, is that indicative of problems and can anyone suggest how I might resolve them?
If not, I wondered what the *oldest* twrp it's possible to flash the latest KatKiss from is and where I might find it?

Did you also download the corresponding MD5 file to the same directory to verify you have a good download? A corrupt file might still flash but won't work necessarily. It should be recognizing your tf101g as such unless I missed something.

Hmmm. Interesting. I had downloaded the md5 file and had checked that it matched manually by running md5sum on the zip file and comparing the result to the contents of the md5 file. However, if I force md5 verification in twrp, it says that the two don't match and aborts the procedure. Redownloading provides me with the same version of the file each time, as checked with diff.

Another thought: could the blob itself be corrupted? Would you be able to supply an md5sum for the blob for to me compare against? Thanks!

The MD5 supplied is for the zipped package, before it left my machine. If you, move both files to ext sdcard, or wherever you intend to flash from, and double check that md5sum matches the MD5 inside the MD5 file, after they are both in final flash from directory. I could extract the package and do an md5sum on just the blob, but if it's corrupted that won't really help you. You could also extract the blob to internal /sdcard directory and flash with adb shell per the rescue instructions from the first post of the thread.

I'm boot looping after merely doing a nandroid. How does that even happen? wiping cache/dalvik cache did nothing and restoring that backup or the last did nothing. I guess I'll try reflashing katkis 5.1 again. Kind of a pain.

Boot Loops With TWRP 2.8.1
Hi,
I have just installed TWRP 2.8.1 and with in flashed KatKiss 5.1.1 ROM on my TF101.
After I finished flashing everything and rebooted the device, I am stuck in a Boot Loop. Tried Cold Reset but it didn't work.
I did get the green progress bar at start up, but keep returning to the eee pad splash screen. cant boot to android.
Any advise?

Install TWRP recovery
Hi,
I downloaded "signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip", but I don't understand how to install it.
When I use TWRP manager, I get a list of TWRP version up to 2.3 only.
When I try to use adb & fastboot command tools, it seems I cannot enable fastboot on the TF101 : Running "adb reboot bootloader" actually restarts the device in the normal mode.
Can you please help me with this? How can I install TWPR 2.8?
Thanks!

how to install twrp in TF101G
Hi I have i TF101G but doesn't work 3G, the sim card is not dectected. Any Help?
I have root and Cmw recovery? How I install TWRP recovery? I need a guide, help me!

To those guys who were having issues getting twrp 2.8.1 on their tf101, I was having same problem. Here is how I got it to work.
1. Download all the 5.1 Roms, Gapps, SuperSu onto your SD Card
2.Download the tf101 TWRP 2.8.1 onto your SD Card.
3. Use Easy Flasher Unbrick/Flash Stock and Boot into Android. Shut down.
4. Use Easy Flasher to load the older version of TWRP that works.
5. Boot into Android, shutdown at the start screen again.
6. Boot into Recovery, and flash the latest TWRP 2.8.1
7. Make sure your tablet is disconnected from USB, and reboot into Android, it should say optimizing App 1 of 1.
8. After you're in the start screen, reboot again into recovery. It should now be 2.8.1.
9. Install the 5.1 Rom off your SD.

Issues with TWRP 2.8.6.0: Flashing a different Modem

It's possible this is also somewhere else, but I am having trouble finding it....so I gave up and figured I'd ask.
Okei. I started with TWRP 2.8.6.1. So from my understanding flashing a modem does not work in versions of TWRP newer than 2.8.6.0. I get that, and so I decided to downgrade. However, that seems to be the version that I am unable to get working. I've attempted to flash the 2.8.6.0 recovery via fastboot. Everything says it's good in my terminal. So I go ahead and boot into recovery, but my phone goes to a black screen for a moment and then reboots into OS. I tried a different method, via the app from the google play store. It tells me that there is an error of some sort, or that I already have it installed. So I used the google play app to install 2.8.6.1, which worked flawlessly. So now I am back where I started.
Is there some trick to getting specifically TWRP 2.8.6.0 working so that I am able to use it to flash a different modem? Will using an even earlier version yield the same results? Or am I better off doing it via fastboot?
Thank you for your time <3

I too have experienced exactly what you describe and have yet to find a solution. I own 2 OPO's, plus I administer one for a friend who purchased one based on my recommendation. The oldest one I own which was purchased 4 months prior to the others has worked perfectly with any recovery or ROM I've installed on it. It has TWRP-2.8.6.0 installed and has no problems flashing any partition from recovery. My newer handset and my friend's both refuse to boot into recovery with that version installed. It doesn't matter if I flash from fastboot or from TWRP itself. I have no idea why this phenomena occurs on some of these devices, but it makes administering them a more time consuming pain in the ass. I'm going to try Phil's recovery, as was suggested, as a workaround, but I'm dumbfounded as to why the inconsistencies exhibit themselves on particular devices.

Unfortunately, if that is the same one from twrp's website it isn't going to do me any good. I already attempted that through fastboot. 2.8.6.1 works flawlessly. 2.8.6.0 seems to bootloop once and then toss me back into the OS. Thank you though, I appreciate it.

Had the same problem tried to flash back to 2.8.6.0 via TWRP and didn't work and seemed like recovery had disapeared so used TWRP App to install 2.8.6.1 booted into recovery then rebooted and tried to downgrade to 2.8.6.0 but got a message about same recovery, rebooted phone tried again and it installed no problem.

So now what can I upgrade my Stock ROM to?

Hello, I'm a noob at this so please be kind. I followed the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...inners-guide-unlock-custom-rom-tf300-t3061648
I successfully:
Unlocked my TF300T's Bootloader
Installed custom recovery using fastboot
Rooted my tablet
Debloated the Tablet (Titanium Backup)
Backup up my current (OEM) SYSTEM ROM to microSD
So now I'm onto attempting a custom ROM. I'm a bit bored with 4.2.1 and would like to go to the same version of ROM my Note 7 has which is 6.0.1 Marshmallow or even try the new 7.0 Nougat.
I'm a little confused as to what ROM will or will not work. I see a few ROMS worth trying, but there install instructions reference a different Bootloader multiple flashes such as SuperSU or gapps.
Whats the best fool proof method to flash a new ROM with what I have and are there any simple one file ROM/ZIP/ Blob etc.. file that would do what I want?
Thank you.

Thanks. As simple as the process was, as a noob (first time attempting this) I was really concerned about screwing this up and bricking my tablet.
The one you linked to was one of the ones I was considering and hence my question regarding what works with what I have already done. The noob mind (mine anyways) finds a dozen questions at every turn. In this case I would ask the following:
Q-Do I have to use Kang TWRP?
Q-How is it different than the TWRP I used on my Tablet?
Q-Will I need to constantly change TWRP versions depending on what ROM I want to use?
Q-Is there a danger to switching TWRPs?
Q-Doesn't flashing SuperSU after I flash Gapps overright and erase SuperSU or is there some unique way to flash (push?) both at the same time?
Q-Many more I'm sure!
To the noob, almost all the instructions I read appear to be written for someone who as done this many times. The level of detail needed for the novice is just not there or lost between the jargon used, with many steps not fleshed out because the author assumes a certain level of expertise.
I will definitely read these threads as best I can, but in the interim, is there any ROM that are known to be able to be flashed via the TWRP I currently have? The author of the version I used certainly made it seem like it was that simple, load the ROM/ zip file onto the MicroSD card and when in Custom recovery simply use the INSTALL feature to navigate to the file and press a button to flash and ..."BAM!!" you are running a new ROM.

However Kang TWRP is a xxx.img file. You also can use your current TWRP and flash the image file. Attached you will find an image and a zip version.

Ok, so if I read your comment correctly, I can copy the .img file to an SD card, boot into recovery and flash it from there OR I can fire up fastboot and the same steps I originally did to install custom recovery from my PC to accomplish the same thing... either way I should still have custom recovery, but with the KANG version. Right?
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY PREVIOUS POST. I appreciate the support.

Oh no....
Well crap. I put the .img file on my SD card and boot the tablet into recovery, I flashed the .img file to the rovery not boot partition. All appeared well....but when I go back to see if I have KANG recovery, it hangs anbd says Booting Failure Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x000000000)
EDIT: After I cleaned my pants, I used abd and fastboot to flash the original Blob file using my PC. This restored the custom recovery. I was freaking out for a few minutes.
I didn't change the file name of the kang .img file. Should I have done something different?
EDIT: Successful recovery to Kang2.8.7.2 !! :good::good: I used adb and my PC to send the .img file (renamed "twrpkang.img" for simplicity) and it worked great. I'm a pro..:silly:

Not sure what I did wrong. I tried to do it within the old recovery menu and it hosed it. It found the file and mounted it successfully, but it seemed weird to be within the partition I was overwriting and writing to it. Kind of like you cant install windows while your using Windows...
The new version is much smoother.... Thanks, not to learn about this gapps super SU and how to flash all of these and in what order along with the ROM..as well as this wipe vs format thing...so confusing...

I think you are in soft brick. Use the Tool AIO by mauro and flash recovery.img via fastboot.

Fastboot means adb for me.
How does this work with AIO? I can't find a detailed instruction.
Thanks in advance.

According to their website flashing stock recovery with AIO isn't possible for OP6.
Whatever the reason may be.
Moreover I miss general instructions how to use AIO.
Anyone a solution for my problem?

If you have adb,
Try 'adb reboot bootloader'
You'll get to fastboot
Download TWRP img on your pc and twrp zip on your phone
'fastboot boot twrp.img'
You'll be booted to TWRP
Flash twrp.zip to install twrp from booted twrp
Read Rooting n TWRP threads for more details.
Edit: My bad. I missed that you need stock recovery. TWRP may be better option though. IIRC, you can get stock recovery by flashing unmodified boot.img of whatever oos version you are on, but try at your own risk. Also if nothing works, you should backup your data and use msm download tool to restore your phone to factory state.

Thanks.
I want to have back the ability to go into recovery (stock or custom doesn't matter).
Are you sure you're suggestion is the solution?
Could it be an encryption problem which blocks whatever recovery?

As you mentioned in the first post that you are already decrypted, then it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyways you can use mauronofrio TWRP for decryption support (it will ask you for pattern or pass).
As my solution is only valid if you can access your sdcard from twrp, you can try it risk free.
The command "fastboot boot twrp.img" only boots the recovery, doesn't flash it. So it's pretty safe to try.
And to save all the hassle, just backup all data and restore your phone to factory settings using MsmDownload Tool.

Thank you very much.
In first posting I made a stupid mistake. My OP6 seems to be encrypted as it asks for pass when I try to boot in recovery.
As I understand your last post AIO will ask for pass when I boot twrp, correct?
Then I'm booted in twrp and have to flash twrp.zip but is that possible with an encrypted device?
Basic question.
I did not permit for encryption. How is it possible that the device still is?

Deleted because twice.

Every Device is encrypted by default. It usually is your lockscreen password. Just enter the same password in twrp and you'll be able to access the files.
Aslo it's not AIO that asks password. It is twrp which will ask you password if you have one set i.e. your lockscreen password/pattern.
