Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I post this question in a wrong section but there is no thread for my device on xda.
It seems like I ruined the recovery mode of my Android tablet. It's a HP Pro Slate 12 tablet with Android 5.1.1 on it. It's rooted. I wanted to install CWM Recovery to backup everything, but my device wasn't listed as a supported device. My friend told me I can install the LG G3 recovery instead because it's compatible. I installed that. Since then recovery mode completely disappeared. The device still boots in normal mode and works, but I cannot boot into recovery mode anymore. I really need it because the device boots normally but sometimes acting strange since I rooted it. I'd like to try unrooting it by going into recovery mode or doing a factory reset, but both options disappeared.
Here's what I've tried:
- I Googled this problem very thoroughly, but didn't find any help aside from "hold down 2 buttons to go into recovery mode" type of answers.
- I tried holding down volume up+power buttons while turning it on, but didn't work.
- Tried holding down volume down+power. Nope.
- Tried rebooting inside Android into recovery mode with Quick boot app. It rebooted my device but again it went into normal mode instead.
- Tried to reboot into recovery mode with ADP and FastBoot in Windows. ADB recognized my device (listed the serial number), Fastboot didn't recognize my device. So I tried to reboot into recovery with ADB. Same stuff happened. The device rebooted into normal mode.
- Tried to do a factory reset. DIDN'T work! Rebooted into normal mode once more. The factory reset hasn't deleted anything.
- I have the latest available update.zip from the official website for my device, but without recovery mode I cannot install it.
Any ideas? Did I really lose the possibility of recovery forever with a single click?

Hello did you find a solution to your problem ?

Hey!
Hope you can explain me this.
I reboot in recovery mode mi LG Optimus ME P350 (rooted with "gingerbreak") using the "Fast Reboot" app from market.
The phone reboots like new one, I had to set the language, date, time, google accounts, all settings, etc ... and all the apps I installed are gone.
my question is: Is this a mode that can go out and get back to what I had before? Or just it reset the phone to me and I have to start again?
thanks for reading.
cheers.
Well I know that it is a little bit older this post, and i assume that you started over with everything. But you were right you must start from the begining as trying to enter recovery mode without having installed a custom recovery puts the phone in factory reset and everything is deleted except firmware.
But if you have flashed recovery with a custom recovery the phone will enter in recovery mode ( vol down + home + power )
On my LG with custom firmware and custom recovery "Fast Reboot" free version only kills running apps....But "Quick Boot" reboots into recovery. It needs root.
So I write this for future help if someone does the same thing.

Hey guys, I need help.
I have started to follow instructions to install ClockworkMod on Samsung S5660 Gio. I have downloaded cwm-6.0.2.7-itachiSan-ext4only.zip as it was suggested, renamed it as update.zip and then installed it through recovery mode (home+power buttons).
After that, I am not able to restart phone in the recovery mode, but the phone was working as usual after classical reboot. Then, I have tried “Reboot in Recovery” from application “ROM Manager”.
Now, I have phone that tries to enter Recovery mode that is broken.
Is there any way to break this magic loop? Is it possible to stop phone restarting in reboot mode or to recover recovery mode?
Please, help!!!

Download the stock rom and flash it by going into download mode
(you will need pc to flash)
Thank you pushkardua.
Is it possible to charge battery with device in this condition? When it is connected to the charger nothing visually happens?
if your phone is off I don't see why it wouldn't charge.
Hi guys,
I have a OPO bricked in a very weird way... It's booting straight to TWRP (v3.0.2-0) and nothing else. It is impossible to boot into bootloader (Vol. Up + Power), it still goes to TWRP. And when it is plugged on a computer, it's also booting straight to TWRP...
First a little recap :
- The OPO has (had) an unlocked bootloader and was updated from COS13 to Oxygen OS a while ago.
- The screen was smashed, touch screen not working anymore, and I had it replaced
- Then this problem occured (before screen change, it was booting to Android without a problem)
What I tried :
- Tried to reboot into bootloader, from TWRP via the reboot menu, nope.
- Tried to reboot into bootloader, from TWRP with "adb reboot bootloader", nope.
- Hard Reset from TWRP, nothing.
- Flash latest COS from TWRP (cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed.zip) found here, nothing.
- I wanted to try this last chance unbrick "OnePlus Recovery Tool", but for that the OPO has to be OFF while plugged on a computer, and mine automatically boots on TWRP when plugged , so it's not bricked enough to use it, f***!
Since I can't access the bootlader, I can't do a proper clean/flash
I'm really out of ideas here. I'm starting to think that the problem isn't software but hardware...
Has anyone ever encountered such a brick, or has another idea?
Thanks in advance for your help.
fully shutdown your device and then press the volume up while connecting your phone to pc and see if it can boot into fastboot or not...

Open the back panel of your device and clean it properly with isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloth.Also clean the power and volume buttons strips.
Reattach it correctly and then try booting into system or fastboot.
Thank you guys for your help.
So, what happened is that the volume buttons connector was dead, and that the volume down signal was "permanent", that is why the device was systematically booting in recovery mode, no matter what I tried.
Replacing it worked just fine
Doesn't matter what i do, if i press vol down + home + shutdown, i get the screen where it says that i'm going to install a custom OS and i have to press vol up to continue to access to the Download mode or Vol down to restart, well, seems my S6 gets frozen in that screen and i cant access to that download mode, i can access to the recovery, but odin never recognize my device when is in recovery, only when is turned on. So i can't install anything since i can't enter to download mode.

Assuming everything is stock, stock recovery and stock rom, have you tried booting into recovery and performing a factory reset? If you're able to boot into the operating system you may want to enable USB debugging in Developer Options first.

Glad it worked out for you!
So, I just decided to try and Flash the old TF101 with Katkiss 6.0.1 and Gapps, but I always get stuck on the same problem.
My TF101 is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and USB Debugging is on
I downloaded TWRP app on the transformer, as well as the latest .blob flash file through the app.
Before this, I rooted the tablet using Kingroot.apk, which worked. When I went to flash the tablet with the recovery, the app noted "Recovery Partition not found".
I tried to boot into recovery mode on my own, (Pressing Pwr + Volume down , Then hitting Volume Up), The android screen popped, up and then flashed to a fallen android with a red triangle.... The screen stays on this for a minute and then boots into the normal system. I can't even boot into recovery through ADB, using the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
, The tablet will just reboot normally, not into recovery mode.
The Device does recognize through ADB....
Is my recovery partition just non existent? Even when I just let the system though without pressing volume up, it only gives me the option of (Android) or (Erase Data). when I click erase data, ill stay on the asus loading screen indefinitely and nothing will happen until i turn it off and on.
I just cant seem to boot into TWRP for some reason, and that means I just cant install the downloaded custom ROM.
How Can I fix this and boot into TWRP? I've tried for hours and have been hung up due to the same problem each time, even after rooting.
Did you already solve that problem? I also need a solution.Thanks
