HKC P776A Android Tablet Stuck in some sort of CWM/TWRP Boot Loop - General Questions and Answers

Ok I have posted a thread on this before but there was nothing useful on it so I am re-posting.
So I have a HKC P776A android tablet (NOT HTC, IT IS HKC) I got it rooted like three years ago and went to install a update for Supersu and I pressed the CWM/TWRP update mode, now my phone is in a boot loop maybe a CWM/TWRP but !!! I CANNOT ACCESS ANY TYPE OF RECOVERY MENU NOR THE OS!!! so please don't tell me to go into recovery mode, HBoot mode, or connect it to my PC I have already tried and it doesn't work and I don't have CWM/TWRP installed. When I try to put it in HBoot it comes up saying
Recovery System v4.1
Finding Update Package...
Opening Update Package...
Verifying Update Package...
Installing Package...
Then it reboot and nothing happens I dont even know what it is trying to install maybe the CWM but I don't know exactly. I have finally found a stock ROM Update package and I put it on the SDcard (EXTERNAL STORAGE) but it didn't install. The update package is a .img file so maybe that is the issue but its the only file for it I have found so...
Also I am wondering if I could get a CWM .img file and put it on the SDcard (EXTERNAL STORAGE) it would install the CWM and it would work but thats just a theory so if you know what version of CWM my tablet uses please let me know or post a link.
Please check the YouTube video link below for more detailed information.

[Q] help needed phone wont boot after loading ROM

Hi
I hope someone can help me, I have updated my phone with a copy of the "wanhusteelblueoptimised" rom but never noticed that there was no boot image in the file I downloaded, after I did the update my phone will not boot past the motorola logo, I can not connect via ADB or rsdlite and I don't have a recovery image for the stock recovery "update.zip" I found one but it failed the signature check. I know of no way to get into open recovery mode from my situation so I can apply another custom ROM. Does anyone have a stock "update.zip file" or know of some fix?
Thanks
You should be able to get in to Open Recovery by holding in the volume up while powering on your device. If that doesn't work you can get the Open Recovery files at ModMyMobile. Un-rar the pile on your pc & copy the openrecovery folder & update.zip over what should already be on your sdcard. You don't necessarily need the boot.img & I would try to just wipe data / factory reset & rebboot first.
hi 3rdstring
Thanks for your reply.
I have never booted into open recovery and am not sure how, I have already tried copying the open recovery files and update.zip onto my sdcard but when I try to install the update from the stock recovery it gives me an error as below
Also I feel sure I should be able to get into the phone with ADB even when in recovery mode, can you confirm this? I am not sure if I also have a problem with my data cable.
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

How did you update your phone to run "wanhusteelblueoptimised"?

I've always had the Can't open /cache/recovery/command in Motorola's recovery & Moto's recovery will only flash an official Moto update (which apparently will never happen for this phone). The update.zip from OpenRecovery runs when you boot in Open Recovery (by holding in the volume up while turning on the phone). This is the recovery you have to use to flash any of the custom ROMs.
Hi Mioze7Ae and 3rdstring
I used the open recovery but from the normal running condition not from a position where it would not boot. Never tried to boot directly into open recovery. had my phone for 5 months and still learning.
I found another post detailing how to boot into boot loader mode and still could not connect to the phone, my drivers had been screwed up so after re-installing them I was able to flash the SBF file, all is fixed now thanks for your response I may not have found out about booting into boot loader mode without your input about booting direct into open recovery, I still need to get that right as I only ever got into stock recovery.
thanks and Regards

[Q] Moto G keeps on rebooting and updating

This morning my device was asking if it could do a firmware (?) update. I confirmed and of that moment it keeps on rebooting and trying to install an update. Whatever I try I can't get through the loop of updating/rebooting. I thought that maybe via the bootloader (which is working) I can install a new ROM or restore the stock firmware, but nothing is helping. When in the bootloader, the PC can find the device although it is connected (USB connected)
What I see when it's rebooting:
Install untrusted package?
this can not be undone
- no
- yes
- go back
CWM based recovery v6.0.4.5
E: invalid command argument
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
what ever I choose it goes to the next screen:
root access possibly lost. Fix?
this can not be undone

rebooting...
...and it starts all over again...it boots normally but after 10 sec it reboots again...
Has somebody any idea what the problem is and how it can be solved. As it is, I can't do anything with this mobile.
Thanks for your help!
Your post says 'PC can find the device' but I assume you mean 'PC cant find the device'.
So you have a custom recovery, are you also rooted? A custom recovery means an OTA update wont work. You need the stock recovery. I assume the custom recovery has caused the update to fail in such a way that it just keeps rebooting.
Can you manage to get into CWM via the bootloader (ie choose recovery from bootloader options using volume buttons), if so then wipe cache as this will remove the update file and you should be OK then.
If not then I think you need to get the phone seen by the PC when in the bootloader as otherwise you are stuck. I assume at some point it was seen by the PC for you to install CWM?
If running Windows do you still have the drivers installed (I run linux so Im unsure what you would need). I assume a 'fastboot devices' shows no device at all from what you say?
If you can get fastboot working you can then flash back the stock recovery and this may then allow the update to get past the point its failing at, it may still fail but then you can take it from there.
But first try getting to CWM via bootloader and wiping cache and then reboot.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Correct. I mean the PC can't find the device. However via Motorola Device Manager it can.
Yes the phone is rooted
I can't get into the CWM. If I choose recovery from the bootloader, it reboots normally...and the loop starts again...
will try the fastboot.
How are you trying to choose the recovery option from the bootloader?
You MUST select recovery option using the VOLUME UP button (volume down to move between options and volume UP to pick an option).
Do NOT use the power button.

This is very good advice, regarding selecting recovery from Bootloader....
it happened to me, for days I was puzzled, even after flashing stock recovery, 4.3 Recovery, I could not enter Recovery, until I actually read what was written in the BL screen.
Use Vol down to scroll to option, then use Vol up to select that option......(Recovery)
As you say, important not to use power button.....as would come naturally, and its what we use in Recovery......
but not in Bootloader!!!!!!
I panicked so much, but just be calm!!!

If you are rooted it will still fail to update. You are best off just clearing cache via recovery. Or delete zip file (if you get booted up) from /cache using a root file explorer.

motofastboot is a modified fastboot that allows larger images to be flashed. Normal fastboot will work fine for recovery AFAIK.

It's just that mfastboot is recommended by most devs, including Paul O'Brien and flibblesan, on Modaco, and loads of ppl here on XDA, for flashing FW to Motorola devices from BL, so I'd go with it, as it is widely available on either Modaco or XDA.
I don't think an OTA will fail due to root, just if you have modified or removed any system files, or are using a custom recovery.
I think you have to re-root after OTA is applied.
Rooting at 4.4 is easy with Chainfire's SuperSU CWM flasable zip, as explained by flibblesan here:

Easiest way to root would be to boot a custom recovery and flash Superuser through that.

superSU updates /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This file is checked for a hash by the script (updater-script) that installs the update. As the file is different then the script bombs out with an error.
I know this because I am rooted and I by mistake attempted to install the OTA when I got the OTA notification. It failed.
There is a line in the updater-script like this:
apply_patch_check("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh", "b54528cf9ebba39534b768ad9108a4732e1eff4a", "99ffe4a3d0e6612e87cd3f6a62dad642094f0169") || abort("\"/system/etc/install-recovery.sh\" has unexpected contents.");
This is basically checking that file and seeing if it has the expected hash (one/both of those long numbers are the hash).
Interestingly the ORIGINAL install-recovery.sh file has these comments at the start of the file:
# File Name: install-recovery.sh
#
# General Description: This script is used to install software update for
# recovery mode after OTA update. This is modified
# from original Google code to split the code into
# a fixed program while putting the dynamic data
# into a config file.
After superSU is flashed it says stuff about superSU in it and the file is completely different hence why if you are rooted (at least if using superSU) then the update fails. Whether there are also other /system files also updated by rooting I dont know.
I dont know why superSU modifies the file, the file once modified kicks off a daemon called daemonsu. Why it has to be this file to start that deamon I dont know - but obviously there must be some reason its rooted in this way.

Thanks for that info......a bit complicated, but I get the gist of why OTA will fail, if rooted using the SuperSU Recovery zip.
I suppose, as you will be un-rooted in any case, unrooting prior to OTA is advisable, I can see that....
when I rooted originally, I used Superboot, as per Paul's Option 1
However, as per the OP, and my attempted OTA, with CWM Recovery intact, and the bootloop problem, etc, etc...and my panic, and not reading what is written in BL....
I never got to flash the OTA, and I just went ahead and learned how to use fastboot, and downloaded the American ROM, flashed it, and CWM Recovery, which works with 4.4 now, and flashed the root zip, as above, and some other zip to give back the H+ for HSPA+ logo, and now I'm happy.....
I'll never have another OTA to deal with now......
When stuff goes wrong we all learn a lot more than if it always went to plan, so its good we have learnt some new things today.
When 4.4.3 is out it'll all be easy now
Everything is working again! With AdbWinUsbApi.dll I could find my device and flash it. And with the help of this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 I was able to restore the firmware as it was...nearly...I had a Dutch (EU) version, now it's US...no big deal.

Man....you did what I did, and ended up with US 4.4.....
I had UK Tesco 4.3, with an OTA sitting in \cache, but tried to flash with CWM Recovery, messed up, panicked, but things are good now, latest CWM, rooted with SuperSU.
There is also a CWM zip to restore your H indicator for HSPA mobile speed, as US ROM only has 3G for this, and it also modifies the cell signal bars back to normal Android width.....

I had the same situation just now. Accidentally confirmed the OTA update prompt, then the phone goes bootloop. After fiddling here and there, turns out the solution was simple. Reboot to bootloader, connect usb to PC, then wipe the cache using fastboot (fastboot erase cache). It will remove the OTA update zip file and stops the bootloop. Now I need to disable OTA update prompt.
just got the same problem!
solution that worked with me: booted in recovery, connected to pc, [left shift]+[right klick] on folder that contains mfastboot.exe, open prompt, type "mfastboot erase cache". done!
system update is now stopped

[Completed] taoshan - twrp - installing cm12 failed - Executing updater binary in zip

Hey guys,
I spent all day to find a solution but I failed.
To start off, I've got a Sony Xperia L (taoshan), which I flashed with CyanogenMod using Clockworkmod.
Lately I updatet it to CyanogenMod 12 and slowly but steadily I got pissed because the CyanogenMod Recovery which was automatically installed with CM12 couldn't update to the next version, so I always had to manually flash the "old" boot.img of the cm11 in order to get a working recovery and then flash the new Version of CM12 which again blew out Clockworkmod.
Because I was annoyed of this I tried to install TWRP hoping it would solve that. Of course it didn't went as smooth as in any tutorial which would have been installing the app from the Playstore running it and done, but I had to flash it in the end.
So now TWRP "works". But it couldn't install the latest CM (a couple of hours have already passed, so I don't remember what the error message said or wheter there was a message at all)
Somewhen I did a full wipe to solve something but obviously it didn't work.
At some point I gave up trying to install the latest version and I started trying the Version I had running before. Luckily I still got the .zip of that very Version I flashed a couple of days ago using CWM, which means this .zip does definitly work!
But the sideload of TWRP does not work. The command promt says:"device not found" , while my Xperia L says waiting for input.
So I extracted my Micro Sd, plugged it into my PC copied the "Old" boot.img, that had CWM PLUS the .zip I intend to install and a .zip file with gapps I knew I had to install after the CM12.
After the transfer I repluged the micro sd back into my device and tried to install the CM12 ... .zip directly from the sdCard.
Well for a few seconds it looked like an installation process but then my phone directly rebootet TWRP without installing anything.
Then I tried moving the .zip onto the internal storage and install it from there.
There it says: "Error executing updater binary in zip..."
At that point I had enough of TWRP and tried to go back to my old method... Means
- turning the phone off
- extracting the boot.img from cm-11-20140827-NIGHTLY-taoshan
- setting my phone into fastboot by pressing volume up and connecting it
- open a commandprompt at the folder where fastboot.exe lies
- use fastboot flash boot "path to boot.img" to flash CWM onto my device
- use fastboot reboot and then volume up at the purple light to go to recovery, which should be by then CWM
And I saw a nice blue logo of Team Win Recovery Project and I wanted to cry...
So in Summary I searched a lot of Sites for a solution but didn't find a single one to solve one of my Problems...
For the lazy ones:
- I cannot use Sideload because the commandpromt doesn't recognize my phone... however it did when using CWM
- I cannot install it from my SDCard, because it reboots without doing anything
- I cannot install it from the internal storage because "Error executing updater binary in zip
- I cannot use CWM because if I flash the boot.img that brings about CWM nothing happens and I still have TWRP
Well I am at the end of my knowledge and I truly hope one the answers I get here work out.

[Completed] ZTE Z5s mini malware and failed ROM

Hi, somehow i managed to get malware on my z5s mini and it kept turning on 3g and wifi and installing random apps and had adds popping up every few minutes.
So i did a hard reset and soft reset and it was gone for 1hour and then it came back.
I didnt have it in safemode.
Now i tried to install the same rom over using the standard system recovery.
I used this one: needrom.com/download/nubia-z5s-mini-kk/#comments
In the comments they say you dont need cwm or anything so i tried and got these logs:
[log]
-- Install /ext_sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Warning: No file_contexts
set_metadata_recursice: some changes failed
installation aborted.
[/log]
Since then i cant boot up my phone it goes to the splashscreen and after a while automatically in the system recovery.
Someone said that the recovery wasnt for kitkat and that i need to update it first. But i cant boot it further then the splashscreen or recovery menu, is there something i still can do? or is the phone lost?
