custom recovery - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm have been trying to update from kit kat to lollipop on my acer liquid e700 phone.The tutorial said that only philz touch should be used else i would run into problems.I have been trying unsuccessfully to install easy magic installer on my mac, but i always get "sorry adb root shell is not working error",despite adb given root access and usb debugging on, and i followed some tutorials about installing and tuning adb and fast boot.Yes! and the phone is rooted.
So now i tried installing philz touch on the phone and i've downloaded the .img file and zip file and tried flashily, and that doesn't work either.When i try to download philz touch within flashily,is says checking then says 'something went wrong, please try again.I flash the .img file and it says flashed completed, do you want to boot into recovery or flash more files.I click boot into recovery, but all i see is a black screen and the phone boots back normally, no recovery.I try it with a zip file, same thing, the screen gets black and the phone reboots, no recovery.I try to boot into recovery manually, and the phone no longer does.When i click volume up to select recovery mode,it just boots up and goes into normal mode, it no longer boots into recovery.
I try rashr and it's another failure.Philz touch doesn't load during installation.
Can someone please help.
Thanks.

[Q] Only Android Logo in Recovery. Wifi Model

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you know a fix for this on my WIFI only xoom
Using the guide from here about Wifi Unlocking and rooting Ive unlocked the bootloader on my Xoom. Ive flashed Clockwork and am up to the part where I have to boot into clockwork recovery to install the root tool, however there is no option to enter 'Android Recovery' when I push the Down key on the dual core boot screen, during the first 3 seconds of the first boot after flashing. Theres NVFlash, fastboot and another but no recovery.
I am able to get into recovery via the ADB REBOOT RECOVERY command however I dont get into Clockwork and am stuck on a screen with a green android logo in the center. Pushing any manner of buttons does nothing and the tab automatically resets after 2 or 3 mins in that mode. Has anyone else seen this and know of a fix?? Ive since learned that if you allow the tab to boot into honeycomb it installs the stock recovery and you have to start over by reflashing clockwork, as stated tho no Android Recovery option appears. Any ideas?
recovery is not installed properly.
put your recovery file in fastboot folder
rename it to recovery.img
in fastboot run: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this recovery file is not zip file but .img file(rename it for ease of typing)
I've done it exactly like that, 3 times now. all the messages seem to indicate its flashed correctly. Heres what it says on the tab:
Flashing allowed for partition recovery
OneWire: Charger not connected
Battery Level 82%
Flashing Stormgr partition recovery Status:- done!
And i get the OKAY's in the terminal box as well. Still no Android recovery menu. I read in a dev post reguarding this same procedure a few other ppl had the same issue. I was hoping sum1 had a fix

[Q] cwm keeps looping in recovery mode, unable to flash to htc recovery

so i recently got a HTC one S, wanted a custom skin, and followed this:
www[dot]theandroidsoul[dot]com/miui-4-one-s/
tutorial in order to get cwm installed so i could instal a custom rom.
each step worked perfectly until i had to reboot into recovery mode and when i was going to instal
the OS everytime i clicked down to select 'format', the screen did a half second blink and would simply restart cwm.
the only way to get out of it was hold the power and volume to force a restart.
i them attempted to flash back to the default htc recovery (if i cant have my cake, least let me have what i had before)
unfortunately it gave me the error in cmd that the .img was unable to be read.
so wonderful. now i am almost positive this is something i am doing wrong,
but i just can't pick out what and i'll admit i'm not familiar with flashing, ect.
i've tried to follow tutorials such as forum.xda-developers[dot]com/showthread[dot]php?t=1707550
but am unable to even flash anything rom or otherwise,
i just keep getting stuck at the cwm recovery.
edit:
i attempted the fix mentioned in another thread about using the all in one,
now my phone simply crashes at recovery and wont even start recovery.

[Q] Device wont turn on after booting recovery

Hi, I wanted to root. Instead of flashing the custom recovery I only wanted to boot into it and then apply the supersu.zip.
But something went wrong and now I can't turn the device on.
Please help me. :crying: Here is the screenshot, what happened. (attachment)
EDIT: I couldn't turn on the device, but I could start the stock revovery via volume down+ power. And now?
EDIT2: After entering the stock recovery I could boot normally. Why did it behave so strange? This is the correct file openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-bacon.img?
I had the same issue, now I'm on flashed CWM recovery.
Try this img file, this one worked for me. It's from the "OnePlus Easy Toolkit". You can also try it through it... but if you want to do it manually you cann extract the archive and use the provided twrp img file
I took the CWM.img which is in this zip file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779976
And it worked. I could do "fastboot boot [cwm recovery.img]" Thanks for the hint to try CWM instead of TWRP

[Completed] [GT-N7000] Stuck in manufacturer Logo, unable to enter recovery can enter download.

Is my device soft bricked?
I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0.tar which worked, then I started up the phone and tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.3 touch using ROMManager, the process was a "success" but after the reboot attempt the phone was unable to boot OS nor is it able to go to Recovery mod. I am still able to enter download mod.
I tried flashing PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0.tar again, but it didn't work. I can detect my phone in ADB devices and in Odin3. I am currently searching for a stock ROM for my device.
If anyone has experienced this before and knows the result already, could you tell me whether my device is lost or I can revive it somehow? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: My phone doesn't seem to go into recovery, stuck at manufacturer Logo(Not restarting); but in ADB devices I can see it in recovery mod and can see its contents in adb devices.
Solved: It booted normally after deleting update.img and cache via ADB.
Thread completed as user already founded the solution.
