help nexus bricked

then after flashed cyanogen 5.0.4.1 with baked goods the phone can not load more than the system then I wanted to do a wipe and then a restore with the recovery of Amon_Re but the phone did not enter recovery more! I have left the x colored with the sign of the lock at the bottom ... how can I do?
sorry for my bad english
p.s. i can use fastboot and the bootloader is unlocked

Huh? If you can still boot into bootloader, it's probably not bricked.
I'm not sure I understand you, either. Did you flash the recovery or not? Do you mean that when you tried to navigate to recovery, the phone didn't? Idgi.

i flashed recovery...but today when i tried to do a wipe then phone didin't go in recovery

Have you turned off the phone, take out the battery and insert it again if you must, then hold the trackball down while pushing the start button on top of the phone?
If you get into a white menu press the start button again, wait for a while, then scroll down to "Recovery" with the volume down button, then press the start button. After a while the Amon_Ra Recovery console starts and you can do whatever you want.

as long as you can still get into bootloader, all is not lost.
you may need to start from afresh,
try a full wipe,
reflash the original images
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
then you should be good to go,

Problably a bad download. Try downloading amonRa recovery again and fastboot flash recovery recovery you know the rest.If that doesn't work type adb reboot recovery.

Hi
Don't worry it is not bricked. Exact senario happened to me yesterday and this is what I did to correct the problem:
-I left the phone as it was (X+Padlock screen) till battery was discharged.
-Put it on charger
-Press "volume down+Power button" at the same time.
-That will take you to "Recovery" console.
-Restore
-Wipe
-Reflash
My N1 is working like new with the Desire Rom (MoDaCo).

...why do that (discharge battery completely etc) when you can just use an adb command to reboot into recovery?

Exactly. And if you were worried about some strange battery state, simply wipe the battery stats from recovery.
So orig poster, what ever came from this?

go into bootloader then type
fastboot boot recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img
If you can get into the bootloader that should work. if not then you somehow got a damanged recovery image so type after you redownload it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img

Recovery Mode issue (Red triangle)

Hi
I just rooted my nexus 4 using the superboot. And made backup using titanium. But the problem is i tried using
androidrootz.com/2012/11/how-to-root-nexus-4-on-mac.html
earlier to try to root the phone and after unlocking the bootloader and wiping the device i couldnt get into the recovery mode. Now it comes up with android lying down with a red triangle over this. The phone switches on fine.
I am rooted though. Just need to get into recovery mode. Any help, please?

I had this happen to me. I imagine you used CWM to flash Superuser right? When you rebooted through CWM it said something about do you want to disable recovery from being reinstalled to stock, something to that extend.
Basically I think what you have to do is reflash your recovery. Either stock or a custom recovery (cwm etc).
In fastboot you would do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being CWM)

Hey thanks for the quick reply.
Well I am fairly new to android. This being my first Android handset. Can you please tell where to start with. Though i remember this fastboot command i entered earlier. Did i mention I have SU on my handset now.
And is there any other way to get custom roms other than CWM? If i got for stock recovery do i still retain root access? and how can i can flash stock recovery if possible.
Really appreciate this.

No problem at all. I suggest reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
But I will highlight what you need to do:
C. Download the required files to your computer and extract them
1) All of the files that are required, need to be in one (i.e., the same) directory. It does not matter what it is called, but all the files need to be in there, with NO subfolders. EVERYTHING needs to be extracted into this one directory;
2) Download the attachment from the end of this post and extract the contents to the directory created in step 1. Note: if all you want to do is unlock your bootloader, skip to step 7 in this section (C).
3) Download the version of Android you want from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjop40d. Make sure you are using an occam image which is for the Nexus 4. Most old versions are not usually available on that site; however, there is a mirror on this site: Random Phantasmagoria.
4) Download the appropriate version (for your computer) of 7-zip from here and install it.
5) Extract the files from within the .tgz file which you downloaded in step 3 using 7-zip, not WinZip or WinRAR or whatever.
6) Make sure you have extracted ALL the files (including extracting any files in any archives inside the .tgz file). You should have six (6) files ending with .img in the directory you created in step 1. The other files you extracted from the .tgz are not necessary;
7) Reboot your device into bootloader mode (by turning it off, hold volume down, and press and hold power) and plug it into your computer;
8) Open a command prompt in the same directory (i.e., make sure you are in the same directory as your files are located). You can hold the shift key when you are in the folder in Windows explorer and right-click in a blank spot and it will open a command prompt.
then: 12) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this should be inside the occam-jop40d-factory-ca7602f0.tgz )
Now hope this all works for you, I am at work and have never actually done any of this on my own (other then flash a custom recovery).
But that guide is awesome, read through it sure it will help you out.

I have this issue with a huge difference I haven't rooted or unlock the boot loader on my device, but when I try to get in to recovery I get the red triangle and the no command. Is anybody having this issue? How can I fix it?

Yes is supposed to get there the problem is, I get to the first menu, press volume down to select recovery mode, get in to recovery mode, it gets in and shows a laid down android with the red triangle on top an the no command message below, I press volume up or volume down and it does nothing just keeps showing no command, the only way to get out is by holding power button for several seconds.
this never happened to me on mi Galaxy and I don,t know whats going on, as I said on this particular device I haven't rooted or unlock the boot loader, it is completely stock.
Thanks in advance for your help.

To get to the menu on the triangle thing, you need to press power then while holding it tap the volume up. After that the menu will be shown. Pressing only the volume buttons won't do it

flash an older version of CWM and then flash the revert recovery disabler from recovery

As i said before, I press volume down + power and get to the main menu, then i select recovery mode by pressing the power button and enter recovery mode (all this works perfect), after I enter recovery mode, there is just the android with the red triangle on top and the no command on the bottom, and I press the volume up and down buttons and nothing happens.
As I said this is a new device never rotted locked boot loader, I really don't know whats wrong here.

You're not reading it correctly. When you are in the android with triangle, press POWER then VOLUME UP to access the menu. That's what I've been saying two posts up. Pressing just the volume buttons in that screen won't get you anywhere

happened to me, too. easy solution, get goomanager from play, tap settings, tap install open recovery. that will install TWRP right away. btw, TWRP is everything that CWM is not, use it, its so much better.

Man, Thanks, now i got it, it worked perfectly. you guys are the reason I am on android and not in another OS. Thanks again

So, I followed this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/11/how-to-root-nexus-4-on-mac.html
Booted in CWM followed all the steps, and the last step to reboot the device, it rebooted but never went back to CWM.
Now I am constantly getting the Android with Triangle and "no command" so I guess it keeps me in stock recovery.
My bootloader shows unlocked.
Please help, what should I do? I can't seem to get the phone to do a hard reset by holding power+volume down then tapping back and home?

When you get to the android with "!", it should be power then volume up not volume down

Have you guys tried nexus root toolkit from fastboot mode it might be able to help you
It is available to download here https://www.google.com/amp/www.wugfresh.com/nrt/amp/
Cwm isn't supported any more on n4 I would switch to twrp personally

[Q] Help! Kernel Stopped Nexus 7 from booting!

go into the bootloader/fastboot and try booring from there. you also might need to wipe data/factory reset then reflash your rom. also, sometimes force rebooting from a bootloop will boot it(long press the power button while in the bootloop, hold the power button for 10-20 seconds).

I had this happen to me yesterday when trying to flash a custom kernel to use with CM 10.1. The way I was able to fix it, was to pull the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash it through fastboot in the bootloader. The short and simple way is this:
Open the command prompt or terminal in the folder where fastboot is on your computer, extract the boot.img from the zip file of the ROM your using and place it in the folder with fastboot, then on your Nexus 7, hold in power + volume up + volume down to turn it off. Then hold down volume down and press power to boot into the bootloader. Once there, type in the command prompt/terminal: fastboot flash boot boot.img then reboot and you should be good to go.

Can I just remove the ROM?

So if I back up the devices files with CWM and factory reseting it will remove the backup, so is there a way to send the backup onto my laptop?
Also is it possible to just remove the rom because I feel like my life would be easier if I unintalled it.
Thank You!

Hmmmmmm

Its a bit complicated. Also how do I get the boot.img to my computer from my nexus 7 because when I connected the Nexus 7 folder is not under "My Computer"
Thank you

Sounds like you need to go to fastboot and flash 4.13 bootloader.

How do I flash 4.13 bootloader?

All you have to do is download the same ROM on your computer that you have on your phone. If its stock 4.2.1, then download the factory image of it and extract the boot image from the zip file and follow the same steps I outlined, though instead of using: fastboot flash boot boot.img, it would be fast boot flash boot <name of boot image>.img
If you still have trouble, feel free to message me here or on GTalk and I'll walk you through it.

There's an important lesson to be learned here, and you unfortunately learned it the hard way. Never, ever, blindly flash something. You need to read the OP as well as catch up on at least the last page or two of the thread. Had you done so, you would have noted that Clemsyn's Elite kernels are not compatible with 4.2.1.
I'm not saying this to be a condescending, but rather to save you the possibility of getting into situations like this again. Fortunately, Nexus devices are easily recoverable from various user errors.

Connect the phone to the cmd terminal on the pc and type: adb reboot recovery. You should have platform-tools from android sdk installed.

I had to use flashboot over USB to upload CWM, then CWM protected itself and re-enabled root, I didn'tevn have to reflash super-su.
- get he recovery image recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako
- flash it from bootloader:
- extract fastboot from the sdk (I extracted the whole sdk)
- restart phone while holding power+vol down (keep vol don pressed after release sing power)
- run "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako.img" on your PC
- after selecting reboot it gave me the option to protect he recovery and resinstall super-su
- the right verison of super-su was already installed by CWM so I didn't even need to reflash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip

By the way, for me it took a few tries to get it to work - I was pressing, pressing but nothing was happening but it finally worked.
So to the OP, if it doesn't recognize you pressing the two buttons the first time - try again until it works.

[SOLVED] Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime cannot boot to TWRP

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime/Pro and my problem is that I cannot boot into recovery using the Power+Volume Up method. When I do so, my phone gets stuck at the Mi boot logo. However, I can boot into recovery when I hold Power+Volume Down (I enter fastboot mode), then I connect my phone to my PC and I use the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
I don't know if it's normal that my phone restarts automatically and boots into recovery when I hit enter with the last command.
I want to be able to get into recovery using the Power+Volume Up technique. Also, I heard that if I hold the Volume Up key when I reboot from fastboot will open a window with an option to disable stock recovery replacement. This also doesn't work and gets me to the stuck screen with the Mi boot logo.
Is there anything I can do to open TWRP using the Power+Volume Up method?

Switch off the phone and wait for 10sec. After that hold together Volume Up + Volume Down + Power and wait (i guess 5-15sec) until you see recovery.

Hello,
thanks for your response. I don't know if you actually read my post, but my phone reboots after the command

and then it directly boots into TWRP. So getting into TWRP isn't that much of a problem here. I wanted to get into recovery without a PC and without using any of these commands.
Also, please try to describe the procedure more precisely next time because typing out just one command that isn't even surrounded in

Hello,
thank you for your answer. One thing I forgot to mention is that I use a custom OS too (MoKee ROM) with Android 6.0.1. Although this has an option for 'Advanced reboot' where you can reboot to recovery, this option always got me to the Mi boot logo and stays stuck there.
Also, I already fixed this problem by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down at the same time.
Best regards,
