Hey so I am having a problem unlocking the bootloader.
This is my friends phone and he messed it up bad. What he told me is that he was trying to install a custom ROM on his phone which was already rooted and unlocked. When he went to install it he told me that the ROM locked his bootloader and earased everything on the phone.
When I got the phone it would only boot into fastboot and nothing else. The screen would just be blank.
I have run that color installed and now I get the opo screen when i turn it on and I can also boot into fastboot. I cannot boot into recovery because it is gone I think.
When I try and install the recovery through fastboot I cannot because the bootloader is still locked.
I also tried loading up the custom recovery with the command fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
This doesn't work because I am getting the error "cannot load 'recovery' : Permission denied
I am out of ideas and any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think your friend is giving you dodgy information, flashing a ROM doesn't lock the bootloader. So can you get into recovery at all by using the recovery button combo? Hold power to turn the phone off. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the OnePlus boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I am sure there is something he isn't telling me.
I have tried booting into recovery and I will hold down the button for several minutes but it never boots into recovery.
The phone will only boot into fastboot.

There isn't much you can do then, without recovery and without being able to unlock the bootloader you're pretty much stuck.

Darn. I was hoping there was some other way of unlocking the booloader. I know I can install a recovery if it was only unlocked.

That's right, recovery install requires an unlocked bootloader. It doesn't really fit your situation but this might be worth looking into.

Thanks! But I have already tried it. The second half of it requires that you have an unlocked bootloader to use fastboot.

Hi all,
Been given a Nexus S i9023 by my brother who has been "tampering" with it and now it seems a bit messed up.
When booting up - it gets stuck on the "Google" screen with a padlock on it... I can get into fastboot and I can flash recovery but when I attempt to load any recovery - I get that same Google screen with the padlock! I've downloaded a stock rom and even flashed system etc via fastboot but that still gets me nowhere past the damn padlock!!
I've tried to "fastboot boot recovery.img" and I still get the Google screen with the padlock but it says "Fastboot status - OK" on the bottom left.
I've searched and searched but everyone just seems to give tips on how to flash recovery. I know how to flash recovery; it just seem to be going into it though! Could the internal memory be screwed?
Thanks for any advice!
Sounds strange for sure. You try from within the OS? Enable USB debugging and adb reboot recovery.
Doubt it will work but its worth a shot

The phone stops at Google with the padlock on boot! Can't even get into the OS. Going to try to unbrick it and Odin but left my ubuntu laptop at my parents and can't be bothered to go get it... couldn't get it to work booting off cd rom. Kept giving me the "SBL Injection Failure Failed to find device" error booting ubuntu on a CD!
You may have a storage issue.
I seen you tried to flash system and boot recovery with fastboot ( which should have booted) but did you try to flash them all and wipe. The command is fastboot -w update file name.
I think Odin is a windows only tool anyways by the way.

No idea why I said Odin - I meant the unbrickable recovery thing.
I tried Odin with a Jig last night; got it into download mode and flashed with odin. Got the same result.
fastboot -w also gives the same issue...
If I have a storage issue - is there any way I can tell?
Basically you can tell by the issues you're having. Doing all the proper stuff to flash images etc and still having a booting/working device.
As far as a actual diagnostic tool I don't know of one. But it sure sounds like a hw issue to me.
I have the following problem: since a few weeks I'm unable to enter recovery.
This is what I do:
- shut down my phone
- press the power button while holding the volume up
- than I get a screen where I can choose from 4 options using the volume controls and selecting an option with the power button
- I select 'Recovery' and press the power button
- I get the usual black screen with Google logo and padlock
- but instead of getting into my recovery, I get a black screen with a Droid lying down, the 'chest' opened and some kind of small warning triangle above it..somebody who knows what I have to do??
Thanks in advance

Flash custom recovery.img part
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastboot#Flash_Custom_Recovery.img
You need ADB (and ADB drivers installed, strongly recommend PDANet Android Drivers) and fastboot executable.
Custom recovery I suggest you use Clockworkmod Recovery.
I imagine your phone is already unlocked?

When u boot on the Google screen on the bottom centre does it have a padlock? If so then it is unlocked.
You are entering recovery. Stock recovery
If you want a custom one either flash with fastboot or if you're rooted with a app. Goo manager. Rom manager etc.
Keep it mind that if you're on a stock ROM the custom recovery gets overwritten back to stock when the phone boots up the os

In installed the drivers and I installed the fastboot executable, but what do I have to do next? If I run the fastboot.exe, it just quickly shows a CMD-window and then disappears.
Edit:
I just discovered that, when I'm at the bootloader (I think it's called that way, the screen where you can select recovery), and I choose to reboot, I get the same 'error' as when I try to enter recovery.
Edit:
Alright, I was able to flash a new recovery, using cmd, but now when I try to enter my recovery, the phone gets stuck at a black screen with Google logo and padlock...
I have same problem as wolverine_2k who made the post. My nexus, can't start, I tried reboot and recovery but didn't work. After reboot or recovery I see Google logo, than Nexus screen and that is it. It didn't move to home screen and it stay with lighting screen all the time till I remove the battery. I can't power off it and don't know what to do. I can't transfer data with my PC (it don't recognize the device - only notice that "unknown device" is connected). Please any ideas?
P.S.: My English is not good, if someone answer do it simple please
Thanks!
Hello,
I'm new to the XDA forums and hope you guys can help.
Last night, I came to the mind that I would flash my phone. I completed everything in torr's "[Tutorial] Root, Unlock, Recovery, and Flashing a Custom Rom" without any problems. First loaded Viper's Rom, no problems. Then I wanted to see how the other ROMs looked like so I proceeded to load Energy (had Wi-Fi connection issues), some of the "Without Sense" ROMs on Uwe303's, and finally tried to load BAKED Blackbean and hit a rock.
I'm stuck on the Recovery screen. I can't go into Fastboot either via the volume way, adb, or Hansoon200's AIO Kit. When I try to restart the phone, the red signal light goes on and off twice, screen blips twice, and goes back into recovery. I can't RUU, because I can't re-lock the Bootloader. I have been able to push other ROMs and flash them, but to the same results. Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Sounds like you flash CWM which is buggy you want to flash TWRP. The trick to getting into the bootloader is to hold the Vol- as you turn the phone off while holding Vol- let go of power and press and hold again. Also the reason it didn't boot was that you didn't fastboot the boot.img.

I used Hansoon's AIO to flash the boot.img before every refresh and holding Vol- still brings me straight to CWM. I can't flash TWRP right now cause I can't get it to the bootloader.

You just have to keep trying and maybe tweak what I said because without getting into bootloader there nothing you can do but as soon as you do flash TWRP it will make it easier to get into the bootloader.

Not sure exactly what you are doing on the "volume- way"
The only way I get to bootloader is to hold down vol- and pwr at same time for about 5-7 seconds, then release only pwr. Continue to hold vol- down till it boots. May take 20 seconds or so.
Were you wiping all including system before flashing these roms
You said you can adb push a rom then flash it, try that again with wiping all including system 2x
when you were in adb you tried to get to bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader" ? no quotes
just some ideas--not sure if you them all or not

Sometimes when you are in recovery with CWM you can also use "adb" commands. Connect your device when its in recovery to your pc via usb. Then try "adb reboot bootloader" as a command.

Only issue with that is it will boot into CWM because of the USB cable.
same issue
hey guys,
I'm having the same issue of rebooting into CWM recovery and have no way out.
I've tried both the VOL DOWN option and the "adb reboot bootloader" option, and I am having no luck.
Can you please help me get OUT of CWM recovery????
Thanks!
I may have bricked, want to know what went wrong and if it's permanent. Thanks, here's how it happened.
I was running one of the Omnirom nightly builds. I got a notification saying there was a new build, I decided to try it hoping it would improve my battery life. I had TWRP installed so I thought it would be ok (I chose to let it update automatically which I guess was my mistake). It did the update or tried to at least, but when it tried to boot it just gets stuck on the Asus screen. The one with the loading bar. Volume up or down with power button does nothing but get back to the same screen. Reset (using a pin) and volume up or down does the same thing. I thought the only way to permanently boot was doing the wipe option on the recovery menu, but maybe I am wrong. Is it possible to permanently brick doing what I did? Thanks. Any possible solutions?

Unlikely. What always works, if you can put it into fastboot, is install the Asus stock ROM. That will reformat/reinstall every partition.

My bootloader is unlocked, unless I am misunderstanding what you're saying. On the Asus screen it says this device is unlocked. Not sure why I can't access any of the options though, unless my volume buttons is busted or something.

First step: Install new TWRP
1. Download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t; I would advise v. 2.8.4.0
2. Put 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob' in fastboot folder of pc and rename to twrp.blob for faster typing.
3. Put tab in fasboot mode and connect.
4. Use command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob[enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot[enter]
5. Let tab reboot to OS (will stay on ASUS screen, because you don't have OS as of now).
6. Reboot to bootloader screen and go to recovery (RCK); now you can flash any custom ROM you like.
Good luck!

No! Recovery comes way after fastboot mode. Recovery is loaded from your memory card. But something went wrong with your memory card, so you can't load that.
Once you booted your tablet into fastboot, type :"fastboot devices" on your PC. If it shows your tablet, you can easily flash a new ROM.

I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.

Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.
Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.
Thank you but I do not own a windows computer
Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

Try holding down power button along with either the up or down volume button for about 10 seconds. Can't remember which so try them both. That should get you in there or reboot. Again can't remember. Not really sure why you're trying to get into recovery though. If you got it through Google just reboot from bootloader mode and lock or relock in developer settings. If you got it from vzw I don't think you're supposed to relock.

Since you're in the bootloader menu have you tried scrolling to the reboot option in there with the volume keys? It should say start next to your power button. Or does it respond to adb commands? You could reflash the factory image using flash all file which is the same as setting it up like new. Or edit that file removing the -W if you want to save your data. I think you've deleted the stock recovery so reflashing the factory image is going to be a must.
