Phone won't boot or get into TWRP

Hey Guys!
I've accidently rebooted the phone while on TWRP after full wipe without instaling new rom. Now it won't pass the initial screen (htc quietly briliant), or get into the TWRP mode.
What can I do?
I just had instaled the King Kang rom...

manually boot into bootloader. volume down + power. then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the boot.img for the rom you want to flash. then boot into recovery from bootloader.

Hold power button and volume down until the phone turns off
release power but not volume down.
This will eventually load you into hboot, from there you can access TWRP.
You forgot to flash the boot.img didn't you?

Thanks for the help guys!
Trying to flash King Kang again. That's the only one I have in my internal memory.
Probably not the best option as it got stuck on the initiating swagger...
How long does it take to pass this screen? Lost my patient after 5 minutes and I've restarted it...
What rom do u guys suggest? I just want sth simple and easy to use...

remember to flash boot.img in fastboot

I clean installed a ROM, but it stays stuck in boot up animation. So I headed your advice.. But its not working. All I can do is start Odin mode and watch my boot up animation run. Over and over.
I can't find a work around so I can get back to TWRP and go back to a rom that offers at least more than a boot up animation
Any ideas?

step 1. Boot into Bootloader Power+volume down
step 2. go to pc and flash recovery again with fastboot. fastboot flash recovery.img (make sure its in your adb folder)
step 3. while still in fastboot type: fastboot reboot recovery
step 4. Grab a beer, your back in recovery. flash away (and remember to flash boot.img via fastboot or you will boot loop if on hboot 1.14 and up

Do you have a Samsung phone? This forum is for the HTC One X/XL.

use hasoon toolkit and put radio in folder then flash via fastboot

Stuck on boot screen

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.

That's holding the reset button down plus volume down right? Doesn't seem to work.

No, it just gets me back to the same screen. This is supposed to get me to the recovery menu right?
If it matters,my bootloader is unlocked.

No fastboot with a locked bootloader .....
No bootloader to boot into recoovery .....
No nvflash blobs with a locked bootloader ..
Short of a motherboard you have a paperweight .....
Sorry for the back news ......

Hello

Fastboot commands works but i dont know how i can recover all.
I know i need to install everything.
Can someone let me know what i can install (Kernel, firmware, rom(I want lollipop).
I had already TWRP 2.8.0
Thanks in advance

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.

[Q] Getting back recovery and root after OTA to CM12s

Hello,
I have recived the OTA today and I flashed it and now I dont have a custom recovery and root. What steps do I need to take to get those things back? I have tried to use this guide https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oader-install-custom-recovery-and-root.64487/ but after flashing recovery.img through ADB I still have normal CM recovery.

Go to Developer Options in Settings and disable the "update CM recovery" option.
Transmitted via Bacon

It has been disabled the whole time

Ok. So you say you're flashing the recovery through adb but that's impossible so I'm assuming you're flashing with fastboot, right?
Transmitted via Bacon

I'm not really good in those names.. I have isnerted a screenshot from this program.

Looks ok. Where are you getting the recovery from? Did you rename it to "recovery.img" for a reason?
Transmitted via Bacon

I've got that file from TWRP website and I renamed it to recovery.img. I have succesfully booted into this recovery with a command "fastboot boot recovery.img" which allowed me to flash root and xposed form it but after rebooting the phone the old recovery remains...

I have the same problem. Flash TWRP says it's flashed OK, but when I reboot to recovery it's still stock.

Same situation here...this solution isn't working for me, same problem, always Cyanogen based recovery...

After flashing new recovery, when you go to reboot, hold down Vol-Down and Power before it boots into the OS and it should load the new recovery. Had this problem myself earlier today, if you let it boot to the OS, it flashes back the CM recovery.

It works! I think it because of the dev settings into CM12S which force the recovery to be CM12S' one.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, can someone go over start to finish how they fixed this issue?

What worked for me
I previously had TWRP installed, wiped and did the C12S flash but didn't flash SuperSu before rebooting. This removed TWRP and brought me to Cynogen Recovery whenever going into recovery mode (Vol Dwn + Power). This also removed the root from my phone. To fix this took some digging and I came up with the following solutions as long as you had TWRP installed at one point. If not then unlock your boot loader and re install. I named my TWRP File Recovery just to keep things simple, but whatever your TWRP Filename is put that in at #5.
1) Enter Fastboot Mode (Vol Up + Power)
2) On your computer open command prompt (Ctrl R)
3) Plug your phone in
4) Type the following minus the quotes
"cd desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools"
5) fastboot boot recovery.img
This will boot your TWRP, you can then go to flash your SuperSu file and you're done!

im having this issue too : /

Can you get into the fastboot menu (hold volume down and then power) or into the recovery (from the fastboot menu)? Also, have you unlocked the bootloader and/or flashed a rom?

Did you try flashing recovery from fastboot mode? If not, try following the instructions on the TWRP website (minus the "adb reboot bootloader" part, of course).

Did you try flashing the kernel? I can verify that the Optimus kernel and the TWRP from the Multirom thread work, so I'd recommend trying that combination.

The MultiROM TWRP itself doesn't install multirom, I just know it works, while some other recovery images don't. You will be able to flash a different recovery once you fix your problem.
I forgot that a kernel can't be readily flashed via fastboot... You should try downloading a stock firmware package and flashing at least boot and system.

Try another way here, for entering twrp.
After you flashed the recovery successfully. Do not type the command of "fastboot reboot".
On your phone, press and hold the POWER and UP VOLUME buttons together until you enter the TWRP recovery. (It will power off and boot up recovery)
Note: Do not let it boot to normal system startup. This this case, you need to reflash the recovery via fastboot and follow the steps above again.
After you have root the phone successfully, you can enter the TWRP recovery without flashing via fastboot already.
Hope above help you.

If the touches screen doesn't work, It might be the TWRP recovery issue. You can try flash other version to solve the problem.
Anyway, great to know everything works for you now.

I've this issue.
TWRP is installed but:
- if I boot via [power]+[vol+] I enter in old stock recovery
- if I boot via fastboot using command "fastboot boot recovery.img", TWRP is loaded correctly

Yes very first time after I flashed and entered the TWRP recovery successfully, I need to wait for few minutes and the touchscreen only start working.
Then I have flashed a few other versions of TWRP, I have forgotten which one I have flashed already, my TWRP recovery works immediately without any touchscreen issue.
