[Q] Can Not Get Into Recovery

I am unable to get into recovery of any type on my Xoom. When I try to get into recovery I get the Android with an exclamation point. I've tried factory reset; I've followed instructions for CWM recovery, etc. I just can't get past the damn Android with the exclamation point (inside a yellow triangle). Can anyone help?
BTW, there are no programs or data on the internal storage of the Xoom.
Use ADB to unlock your device again and push the recovery image again. Then try to boot into recovery.
Ok, I unlocked the Xoom and it rebooted. After the Xoom rebooted, I ran adb reboot bootloader and the Xoom went into fastboot. Now what command do I use to push the recovery image? From the platform-tools directory if tried: "adb fastboot push recovery recovery.img and nothing happened." I then tried "adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without success. Help!

Assuming your in the directory with the recovery.img as well:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(no adb, no push)
Do the following plz with this recovery image. I assume you already have android sdk installed and adb on your laptop.
To download:
• Recovery Image: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6.img
Steps:
1. Power off your XOOM device.
2. Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time. Note: Even if your xoom starts again, just keep the button pressed until you see "Starting fastboot protocol" on the screen.
3. Connect Xoom to your computer via USB.
4. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘Terminal’ window on your computer in your sdk/tools folder.
5. unlock your xoom and flash the recovery image. The recovery image should be in your current working directory where you have command line navigated to: Type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img
fastboot reboot adb reboot recovery
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed. I prefer this recovery than others. Give it a try.

Thanks, that worked and I'm back in operation with the Xoom. I really appreciate the support this forum provides.
I am happy I could help, and happier you are back to xoom operations without issues
Unlock, reboot and issue resolved!!! Cheers

You can't use Odin with a Nexus S. Reflash your recovery using fastboot.

Fastboot is much better then ODIN - If you loose access to recovery, you'd still be able to access fastboot/adb and then you can easily flash custom recovery using adb.If you have lost recovery then install pdanet on your computer.(It will also install Nexus S USB Drivers) then put your phone into fastboot mode by holding down both Volume Up and Power buttons together. When you are in fastboot mode connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.Download ADB and recovery you want to flash put it in your C:/recovery (Put adb and recovery image in this folder)
Then open cmd and type
1)CD C:/recovery
2)fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img (replace recoveryname with actual file name of the recovery image).
2nd command will flash recovery to your phone and then you'd be able to access recovery.
Wow, you learn something every day. Never heard of anyone doing that before.
Thanks

Starting fastboot mode, but freezes

So I just bought this tab. And stupidly upgraded to JB right away (not a big fan with first impression) and was following the 3 step guide for recovery and root on JB. Starting on step 3
When I reboot into bootloader from advanced, or manually (power + V down, then V down to navigate to USB sign, V Up to confirm (already unlocked bootloader of cource)
In the top left corner where the words are, the last line says "starting fastboot mode" or something like that, but nothing just stuck in the bootloader screen with 4 options RCK, ANDROID, FASTBOOT, AND WIPE DATA. Untilled I hold power to reboot.
Tried several times. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
you are doing everything fine....
It just stays there when "starting fastboot mode" appears!
Now you can open a terminal on your pc.
When you enter "fastboot devices" (without quotes), a number will appear so you know the device will be recognized when you want to flash recovery. Just like "adb devices".
Do you have to enter fastboot devices first to flash recovery threw adb?
Cause last night after it said starting fastboot (when I thought it was stuck)
I extracted the twrp Jb recovery from same post. To the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe (named the folder fastboot on the C drive) shift + right click on fastboot folder - open in command prompt
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
The responded was like can't complete command. File or folder doesn't exist (or something like that, will try again when I get home with the exact response)
And tried extract to a folder named, recovery1 on my c drive
C:\recovery1: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
Still with the same response
Thank you for the help

Vol- plug in USB is fastboot mode.
Vol+ plug in cable is download mode.
If you stuck in fastboot mode to get into download mode:
(Hold vol-, power, vol+ all 3 together until phone goes blank immediately release vol- and power keep holding vol+ it should boot into download mode )
doesnot work for me faild cannot erase this partation in unlocked state
doesn't work it says my phone doesnt pass a safety check and not will boot, and after that goes to fastboot
After unlocking the bootloader LG G7 run Android 10 by QFIL, I got stuck in fastboot. I consulted many sites but could not find what I needed.
I would like to share some of my experiences after I have successfully fixed them.
Once you have unlocked the bootloader you have illegally modified your phone. When something goes wrong, the phone automatically stops at fastboot. If you want it to continue, you need to load the magisk patched boot.img.
The boot.img can be extracted from your kdz rom file and you can make the patched boot.img by magisk app on the other phone and flash to the boot_a and boot_b partition by QFIL
After successfully boot your phone with magisk patched boot.img, you must use LG Bridge to refurbish your phone (choose Refurbish Option when flashing your rom) to make sure it work fine.

-Stuck Fastboot and Locked Bootlader Problem and Solution-

So, Iwas using Havoc Os 3.8 on my realme 5i, but I wanted to lock bootloader again, then I entered fastboot mode and locked bootloader, but I stucked in fastboot mode, It looped. Could not enter recovery or system. Only fastboot mode, because bootloader is locked I couldnt flash anything. I tried fastboot flashing unlock command but it did not work.
But solution was very easy, fastboot was not actually fastboot, everytime I power off device and power up there was not fastboot writing and robot icon, just directly fastboot itself. So actually it is fake fastboot, you just need to use volume buttons and select reboot to bootloader option, once device reboot you will see now fastboot- robot icon then fastboot itself, now you can unlock device with "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" command.
First, power off. Then wait for couple of minutes then start fastboot again.
