Good day I have a problem with my idol 3 5.5 a few days ago I turned off and it took a long time to turn it on again, I did a formatting and it continued the same, it only vibrates when trying to turn it on and if I connect it to the charger or to the pc it turns on the LED but there not passed . I have tried to install several roms but when I finish installing it I get the reboot, I reboot and the cell phone goes off again. It is rare that the cell phone enters recovery mode. It comes with factory recovery.
If someone knows a solution or a rom that works very well that is to install directly from the recovery would thank you.
Sorry for the English but I am Colombian and use the translator xD
Factory recovery? How are you able to install those roms?

yes, recovery alcatel xDDD
I only give you the power button and volume + and enter recovery mode I give you install I select the folder where the ROM is installed I reboot it and the cell phone stays frozen.
I do not know if it's the rom euphoria that does not work or if in the end the cell phone is no longer useful, or if you have to have another recovery.

Last probable cause, Not having TWRP. You really need that on top of that, Unlocked bootloader.

I need to have the TWRP recovery ???
Or just just unlock the boot loader?
And most importantly how do I unlock the boot loader?

And how does that work?
I have to install as if it were a ROM?
* I already saw the functions but I did not understand how to put it

That's to Unlock Bootloader and flash TWRP. Then install ROM.

no idea there's a one click for it. I suggest asking in the dev threads for CWM what's up.
I had the same thing happen because I was flashing the recovery for the international version instead of the ATT CWM. One won't work with the other. Not sure if that's your case but maybe that helps somebody out there.

This is exactly the problem I was having. I tried every *[email protected]#! thing I could think of flashing from fastboot, to one click, to you name it. Multiple reboots etc, could not flash into recovery
Used goomanager once WHAM recovery thankyouverymuch.
Mine was cause by confusion between the international version vs ATT version. I'm an aussie with an aussie phone, so I thought "hey, I must be international"... nope needed the ATT flash.
Trying to install CyanogenMod for my razr maxx HD. Recently used RSDlite to install 183.46.10 after OTA KK update kept failing. Then used towelroot to root and motopocalype to unlock bootloader. Fastboot screen shows bootloader is unlocked with status code: 3.
I then followed the instructions on the CyanogenMod site to flash CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery using fastboot, and all appeared to work fine.
However, when I try to reboot into recovery, nothing happens. I get hung up on the motorola dual core flashscreen for about a minute or two, then the screen goes black, then the phone reboots normally.
I tried flashing a different copy of CWM, tried TRWP, and tried several third party apps from Google Play store to boot directly into recovery using software reboot instead of hardware keys - all with the same results. I even tried flashing custom CWM recovery using ROM Manager and Rashr, same result.
Do I have a corrupt recovery partition? Any suggestions for how to fix?
You need to install a recovery for that phone specifically.
http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/
Use the recovery files found here.
Edit: on the site I posted, browse to the msm8690 folder. There you will find the recovery files.

Thanks, guys, total noob mistake. I knew the recovery needed to be specific for the phone, but didn't realize it varied depending on the bootloader. Will try again with the right recovery!

Those recovery aren't sticking for me. Does anyone have a suggestion to fix that issue.
Pushing the buttons doesn't work.
The only thing that is working is place the phone in fastboot mode and flash the recovery to my device three time and then I will go straight in recovery and there it is.

Your phone has been upgraded to Kit Kat and the bootloader unlocked, correct? The two recoveries linked to are for phones that already have already been upgraded to KK.
If so, power off your phone.
Then, hold down volume up and then press and hold power. After a few seconds, let go and the boot menu should come up.
Use Volume down to select "Recovery" and then hit "Volume Up". That should boot you into the custom recovery, depending on which one you flashed.
I prefer TWRP. CWM seemed buggy and it wouldn't always boot into it. A lot of times, I'd get a blank screen and would have to reflash it.
Another option is, when it's booted up, hooked up your phone to your pc and use adb to reboot it into recovery using "adb reboot recovery".

Yep.. I had some issue with my devices. I tried the update well root and the devices didn't want to boot up anymore. So I had to RSD lite the devices back to health. So I do have the latest software for the devices. I guess. I am going to use Twrp since you say it boots fine from the boot menu.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, that is your problem. You need to root, and then unlock the bootloader before you can flash TWRP and use CM.

I just got a broken Nexus5 with a boot-loop issue. As soon as the Google logo appears it reboots. I can enter booloader normally but if I select recovery the same happens, reboot. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP in, same thing. Tried to flash full stock 5.1.1, same thing.
Any ideas?

You said 5.1.1 that is not out yet only 5.1. Also you do not need TWRP to flash google stock image, if you can get into bootloader as you said, you can flash the image with your PC. or am i missing something ?

Sorry I meant 5.1.0 from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I first flashed TWRP with the idea to install CM from there, but then I can't even enter it (all commands through fastboot work just fine), which is a pretty bad sign I guess. Then I flashed stock 5.1.0, and nothing changed.

I don't think so, phone stays in bootloader indefinitely until I reboot or try to enter recovery.
Hello,
I am getting myself deeper into trouble working on this.
First I will explain what I did, I wanted marshmallow and read TWRP needs to be updated to load it and also that that I cannot restore from older backup, so I figured I update TWRP first then do a backup.
I did the TWRP update via app, verified the partition and when done and rebooted to recovery, TWRP was still v2.7 and the phone won't boot, the OS was gone.
so then I figured I flash Dottat M8firmwareandRecovery to get the new TWRP and backed up the Data partition.
then found out that I can't use that Data partition with a different OS. So I figured I flash KitKat back on.
did that, now I can not get back into recovery, holding the Vol down with power will not go to HBOOT.
now KitKat loads, had root, but the dang thing auto updated to 4.4.3 and now lost root. I thought it can't auto update with s-off
so it as asking for another update now and I turned it off. Waiting for someone to help , I keep making it worse.
my phone was unlocked and s-off, I hope it still is, can anything undo that?
Please help

I've personally never seen a device go back to S-ON without the user doing it with the cmd.
That isn't to say it's never happened before.
I'd assume you are still S-OFF.
What happens when you flash a ROM that has a power menu and you select to reboot to recovery or bootloader?
Or you can root and download an app that works the same way. curious what it does.
Also how long are you holding the buttons?
If everything else is working you should be able to get to hboot/recovery - but I honestly don't know.
My suggestion?
Get a more recent RUU .exe and run it on your PC and see what happens.

My Galaxy Tab2 did that. I tried the M8 again today with USB unplugged, did not get boot loader menu, but then while it was on, I did a Vol up and power (forced shutdown) then while still holding the power button switched to Vol down right when the screen blanked, then I got the boot loader! :victory:

and to correct myself.. one other condition. The older version of software included a "fastboot" option in settings->power that was more like a hibernate feature. That feature when enabled would prevent you from getting into bootloader.

That makes sense, 'fastboot' was on, its now off.
The bootloader works, KitKat OS is working, but not recovery. I get 'Entering Recovery . . .' on white htc screen and stuck there.
I used adb command prompt to flash recovery with fastboot then I tried HTC_fastboot and different versions of TWRP.
tried flashing with Flashify , no errors, it just doesn't load. I think something else is broke.
dottat, do you have an image of RUU rooted Kitkat with TWRP?
Thank you for the help.

Your firmware is too old. That's why the newer recovery won't work. Do you want to update everything first and then RE-root?

Yup , that was it, the older one worked.
So dumped the idea of getting KitKat back and I flashed the Marshmallow custom s-off RUU with TWRP that you provided. so far good now I just need to re-root it.
