So, today I trade my HTC One for a RAZR XT925, $350, and a water proof 32GB Sandisk ultra sd card on Kijiji. I thought it was kinda weird to get all of this stuff, but it seemed fine at the time. Afterwards however, I found out that every time you turn off or reboot the phone, it tried to go into recovery mode or something with the android guy and a bar at the bottom in a loop and always factory reset the phone, so no matter what, every time you turned it off, it'd reset it. After hours and hours of work, I have the bootloader unlocked, rooted, CWM installed, and Cynogenmod also installed. It no longer factory resets it (I think, but i sent a text to a random number and when I rebooted it was still there), however, everytime i power off and power on, it goes into recovery mode. This is very annoying and will make it very hard to sell again, but if I can fix this last thing, I'll have a solid phone until the waterproof S4 comes out as well as having made like $100.
So basically, I need to know what to do to make it boot into the rom by default and not the recovery. Also, I searched it up and someone else had a problem where they kept booting into AP fastboot mode I think, I tried that line, it said successful, but it didnt work. For me, it's booting into the recovery by default.
Does it boot into stock recovery?

I root it, unlocked the boot loader, flashed cwm recovery, and installed CyanogenMod. Now it boots into cwm recovery by default and if I click reboot system now, it just boots back into cwm. Only way to get to the system is to go to the boot menu by pressing all three buttons and selecting boot normally.
Stock recovery is gone. Cwm asked to replace it so that the phone doesn't reinstall it on reboot. Cwm doesn't, but when the phone booted it stock recovery, it used to get wiped.

No the problem was in stock. When I got it it wasn't rooted or anything, rooting helped fix the problem partially by not making it wipe every time I boot it. Now the only problem is that whenever I boot it up after a shut down or restart, it boots into recovery mode instead of the ROM.

did you ever find a solution for this? I just bought a used phone and am facing the same problem - I can't even boot into recovery, it will just start bootlooping again. Only thing that seems to be working is fastbood mode. (or regular reboot, but then everything is wiped every time)

Fastboot the stock ROM. That should return the phone to it's bone stock condition.

Use this utility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788
Use the 'Lite' version as it includes the stock rom.

Thanks for the hint, will give it a try. RSDLite just completed flashing, but the odd behaviour of the phone is still the same. Guess I might just have a broken phone... :/

After a few hours, I (somehow) ended up being able to enter recovery. On the downside though, now it always goes automatically into fastboot, because everything seems to be screwed up. I even got CWM installed though (unlocked the device because I didn't know what else to do).
Now every time it goes into fastboot, the reason given is: "sticky bit fastboot"
Any ideas left?
Oh btw, I have a german phone, in case that matters somehow. I can't flash in any fastboot way anymore, now I always get some message about a downgraded version. Of course details can be supplied if needed.
edit: was now able to flash CM, no idea what I did so that it didn't give me errors anymore. It still goes into fastboot by default on every reboot though, I always need to select "reboot device" manually every time.

Sounds like you are able to use the phone. That’s good.
The error is saying it can’t downgrade the trust zone (tz) right? That is normal for a phone with an unlocked bootloader. You can simply ignore that.
The sticky bit fastboot problem looks like it can be fixed by issuing this command while in fastboot mode: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

the fb_mode_clear was the culprit, thanks a lot!
and the error says: "downgraded security version. update gpt_main version failed. preflash validation failed for GPT" - which is still keeping me from flashing stuff via fastboot.
since I can't fastboot flash at the moment: do you happen to know where I can get the german modem image so that I can flash it using CWM? I think through all the flashing and trying I have a corrupt or wrong modem file (probably the US version). I can not log into the carrier network right now. it asks me for my SIM PIN and unlocks the SIM, but that's it. so I can't make phone calls or anything right now.
So when i try to boot my opo to fastboot or recovery the screen just goes blank and does nothing. I can't flash anything because it boots and says android is upgrading , then it reboots and starts over again.
Any help is appreciated!

Well i was flashing paranormal android custom rom with twrp. The installation went fine and smooth but now when it boots it says android is upgrading app 1/176 . When it's done it displays my wallpaper for a split second and the reboots. I could easily fix this problem if i had access to fastboot, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!

Keep the phone off then.Up to this step nr 3
You got it work??
Check Agent Fabulous's AOSP Nougat ROM thread.He has given instructions regarding TWRP.It solved the flickering issue.

You dont have to panic. Since you can enter into fastboot mode by holding " vol- and power button " , you can flash latest TWRP recovery version 3.2 which is flicker free. Once you are done with it , try to flash a new rom with clean install. If that doesnt work , connect your mobile to pc in fastboot mode and open flashtool and select LOCK THE BOOTLOADER assuming you have already unlocked it. If your bootloader is locked , you can easily restore your device using SONY COMPANION. Its really easy. Let me know if this helps!!!
but it doesnt enter in fastboot mode, thats the problem xD

Hello guys. I need your help badly.
I am using Galaxy Grand Prime smg530h
The problem is when I push the power button, my phone automatically boots to recovery mode which is Twrp, yeah I was my only problem last time. I guess I wipe something using twrp, my phone says "NO OS INSTALLED" . Then I googled some ways to fix so I installed a custom rom using twrp. I though my problem was solved but still when I turn on my phone it automatically boots recovery. I googled again and did something. But a big problem shows up, When I turn on my phone, it boots automatically to twrp but after the samsung logo flashes, black screen appears. Its just blank but the my phone black light is on and I think im on twrp since everytime I touch the screen it vibrates.
Please help me

Have you tried to re-install everything including your recovery? Perhaps even your bootloader or try to flash your ROM manually from fastboot or adb.

There is already a guide available for how to flash stock rom, which you can check out here. You can get the stock rom from sammobile, the official samsung firmware resource which you can check out here.
Good luck!
Edit: You can then try to reflash twrp and if it doesn't work, post about it in the twrp thread for your device.

Samsung doesn't use fastboot, they use download mode and flash with Odin. Be familiar with these kinds of specifics about a device if you're going to give advice, otherwise you might tell someone something very wrong unintentionally.

CWM is a dead project, it is no longer supported, that is why you are only finding TWRP. If you want custom recovery, use TWRP, it is a much better recovery than CWM anyway.

Today I had a strange issue with my Oneplus 7 pro GM1913 running OOS 9.5.5, device unlocked, twrp and rooted. My device ran out of charge and was turned off. When I plugged into the charger, it boots up and for a few second the oneplus logo and charge the device for some time page came in and then the bootloader unlocked screen came in. I haven't charged the device offline after the battery ran out, it was my first time and i thought it was supposed to be like that. But after some time also it was on the same page. Then i plugged out the device and it was stuck on that page. I tired hard reboot, tried to connect to computer. Nothing was successful. Computer showed unknown device and failed to successfully connect. Not recognised as adb device shown nor fastboot device. Then atleast I tried entering into fastboot mode by pressing power button + volume up. At that time it rebooted into system and then everything was okay. But then i noticed i also lost the twrp recovery. Then i had to flash twrp through magisk manager.
Anyone has any idea what happened? Thanks in advance

Thanks!!!
I had exactly the same problem. System was running fine with just Magisk installed (I boot TWRP with fastboot on a computer).
Then I ran completely out of charge, and the OP7Pro wouldn't boot anymore: at power on, it shows briefly the OnePlus logo, then displays the boot loader unlocked warning for a very long time (a few minutes), then goes to the bootloader menu.
I can boot TWRP and unlock the data partition. I will try flashing the stock boot and see what happens (and report).
Edit: I had to reflash stock boot and system to have the device boot again.
hi guys,please need help;I have just unlock bootloader on my one plus 7 pro and i was fastboot it with twrp img but i didn't install the twrp recovery one my phone so now the phone blocked on de bootloader unlock screen, I tried to switched of but always back on the same screen, please need help how to do ,thanks

I figured it out. basically when i get to the above attached image I was required to hold volume up+down+power key until the fastmode doesn't comes up. It will take 20-25 seconds. So you will be required to hold it for that long.
