I can no longer get into clockwork recovery...

I am on brainmasters miui rom, and whenever I try to go into recovery the phone just gets stuck on the Google logo and doesn't move, forcing me to pull the battery. I have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times and idk what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also made the experience that flashing recovery through rom manager doesn't always work...had the same problem, also using brainmaster's MIUI rom.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

In order to make your device boot with any custom rom on it- while unlocked, s- on
you have to flash boot.img from the rom you're flashing,...
via fastboot ( on pc ) before rebooting in to system

Well that's nice helping. Boot.IMG should be flashed after flashing Rom or before?

It shouldn't matter, as long as you do both straight after each other.

Ok. For flashing Rom I have to go to tw recovery(in my case) then flash the rom then goto bootloader and flash boot image then restart the phone. Is it like this?

[Q] ******Please help I bricked my N5******

Hi guys,
I have recently rooted my device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod), after 2 days there was an update for CM. Update was installed perfectly but then after the reboot "settings" on the phone stopped working. closed unfortunately. I went into recovery mode to flash the previous ROM. I am using "TWRP" recovery tool. This where I have done the blunder, I have wiped the system data and all of it. At the moment phone doesnt have any ROM to boot on. Please suggest me to how to flash the factory ROM or any other ROM. Can't really do anything as the phone wont boot up in regular mode (GOOGLE) thats all.

Can you sideload in TWRP?' It's even faster than pushing for the unpatient folk like me. lol
And yeah jd I still have the Rocket.

that was his first and only post, i bet he wont be back. sounds like a root toolkit child.

How?
Having said that I cannot detect the phone in the PC, how can i put the ROM in a folder?

Guess what? He's back!
@Shibazeet

Use this guide to setup fastboot. Then download the factory image to your computer. Use fastboot to install it and any other future roms.

My friend, you don't use fastboot to flash "ROMs".

Sorry woke up 5min before writing that. Running on 4hrs sleep now. Meant use fastboot to install stock image, flash a recovery. Then use custom recovery to flash future roms. Just pointing him in the right direction. With a little reading, he'll figure it out.

[Q] Help!!!

So yesterday I made a really dumb decision by using the TWRP Theme Manager on XDA to use a theme, even though I had TWRP 2.6 instead of 2.7. I tried to reboot, but it was in a bootloop. I got back to the recovery and wiped everything, then flashed my ROM, but it's still in bootloop. I tried flashing CWM with fastboot, but my phone is not recognized. Can anyone help me, please? I want to flash the stock firmware, but I don't know which one is correct. I have XT1032. Thanks.

Do you have proper drivers to install recovery? And can you acess the recovery?

Edit: I found out how to delete the theme, will report back.

Update your recovery,twrp2.6 is no good for kitkat roms. You can flash an updated recovery in your recovery.

[Completed] [Q] How to unbrick zte v967s (mtk6589) after flashing incompatible rom?

I flash an incompatible rom in my device which is zte v967s.

I also cant power off the device in a natural way and after I flash it I also cant boot it into recovery so I cant restore the backup i did before I flash it. I dont know what the right thing to do so PLEASE HELP ME!!! ?? Thank You

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You will probably have to flash the stock firmware on your device to get it working again. Unfortunately there is very little on XDA About your device. See if this helps at all, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300622

How can I flash the stock firmware? I cant boot my phone into recovery and I also try holding volume up + power button at the same time but its not working.

I don't know. There is very little information on XDA about your device and I don't have the device. See if Google can help.
