And one more way, if you have rooted your phone, you can install an app like quick boot and use it for booting into recovery.

Hi, I`m not ppero196 but how it works. Download this rar and extract on your PC. I always take the path to C:\Android\ . Then activate USB-Debugging on your device and connect your device to the PC. Open the cmd on your windows machine and type:
For download mode:
Code:
cd\
cd Android
adb reboot download
or for the recovery mode:
Code:
cd\
cd Android
adb reboot recovery
Have fun by the trying.

No button combination?
Hello guys,
I can boot into recovery, pressing, up, home and power for a long time. The "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini"-logo comes two times, and I press the three buttons all the time, until an "Android" comes. Than I am in Recovery mode. I haven't flashed or rooted my phone now, but is it not easier root and flash it via cutsom recovery mode?
Sorry for my bad English :/ If you habe some questions about my phone ask

What firmware are you running ??

It is the Original Samsung 4.1.1.

Can you post screenshot of "Settings->About device" page? Because on some devices (maybe from first batch) key combination just does not work.

Here is the Screenshot. I hope it helps.

This is a great guide! In theory you can also do this:
- backup your lfs partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p19) with adb+dd when the phone has booted normally, backup that file
- backup your lfs partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p19) with adb+dd inside CWM, have the file on your PC as well
Now you can reflash the partition with Odin/Heimdall and have the phone boot into either mode. The reason is because this partition contains params.blk which itself contains the boot mode (along other important parameters). It is always a good idea to have a backup of this partition, as well as other partitions (notably efs = mmcblk0p11 and modemfs = mmcblk0p12).

booting failed

Help.
Booting failed. After downloading "[LINUX] Universal Nexus Linux Toolkit v1.0 (Unlock, Lock, Root, CWM, Factory Reset)" and ran Unlock the bootloader, Flash CWM recovery (Standard or Touch), Root the phone, I didn't foud anything change (not like my cellphone, I can select recovery mode when long push the powerbutton off button), so I made a decision (I beleve that's a huge mistake), I did lock the bootloader and flash Google Factory Image. Finally I realised I couldn't boot OS, but I found at the begining of power on, I could choose "start" "restart bootloader" "recovery mode" "power off" , It said booting faild if I select start or recovery mode.
Is there any way to rescue my tablet?
I have not used that tool.. But i believe you were to have a rom on your data/ media partition on your tablet then boot into recovery and flash the rom.. Sounds like your tablet just has no rom on it.. Try to adb push a rom to data /media then go into cwm and flash it .. you can use the nexus tool kit to do this if you do not know how..
Good Luck...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------
oops misread . your saying you can not get to recovery.. Try holding both vol up and down together and then power button from a off state . Before i would say 20 seconds you should get a hard reset.. if not the recovery/ rom flash failed.. You will need to use a Nexus tool kit to put the recovery and rom back.. or use fastboot to push recovery.. boot into recovery and install flash rom....
Sorry
can't see device with usb or adb
I have the same problem. Unforunately, I can't see my device with adb or in windows via the usb port. Without these I can't use the Nexus 7 toolkit. Any idea what I should try next?

How Unbrick nexus 7!!
1) Download the factory. image of nexus 7 before by this https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
2) nexus 7 root toolkit for the advanced. utilities it. (Lower left corner of the application), then click Launch.
3) mode is advanced tool you see Quick tools (on the left), select Fastboot-Bootloader me. The middle section (Boot / Flash image) to Flash (Permanent).
4) the file you downloaded from the first) is to run it using 7zip. Do not have a zip file. Recommend that if you are exhausted. The file extension. . Img me into the same folder (for ease of flash. And protection against flash files!) 7zip app and all programs in the community. Reload this App Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.joa.zipperplus7.
Computer loaded from this link. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.
5) flash file system before the first Boot Click Boot and select the file from 4) the file named boot.img it.
6) flash the Bootloader on file bootloader-tilapia-4.18.img. (The grouper tilapia could be it. If you use the nexus 7 Wifi only).
7) flash the Radio / Baseband file name. radio-tilapia-1231_0.17.0_1205.img it.
8) flash File Recovery file name. recovery.img it.
9) flash file system on the order Userdata System and select the file system.img userdata select userdata.img.
10) completed it. Your machine will reboot. I do not drink coffee.
11) Enjoy! ^ _ ^.
You. Ban flash the wrong files here. I need the name of the file. The only way to tell!
I flash rom 0.2 the risk. I should be very careful.
0.3 If this is the case, you Softbrick it. (Hardbrick may not), then I try this method worked 100%.
There is a 0.4 credit, I thought I was the way I make them up. I want to share with. Please add credit to it. If one on me. Help bring this up with the group, thank you.
0.5 If there is another one your way. The mind of the South. (I have yet to try it as I work) and I like that we do not have information on the nexus (the brick that we do not backup data).
Ways.
First. Downloaded SDK from this link.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
Two. Then double-click. Extract the files placed on the desktop.
Three. Downloaded Factory Image (create a new folder and then extract the files to put in it).
. 4 Factory Image extracted successfully, look for a file named flash-all, right-click the file and select edit, then go to delete off-w, then Save and come out.
5. Adt-bundle up to see two folders. Click to select the sdk folder and then uncompress the Factory Image files Copy all (6 files) and put it in a folder. platform-tools.
6th. Then double click the flash-all then lay in wait for a while to update it back to Factory Image kosher by the data is lost. Mod it to disappear, they are only dancing, etc. (it's new to flash).
Note: Do not forget to delete off-w, otherwise everything totally disappeared.
Suggested: do not open a cmd without the headache type. Not faced with the annoying Waiting for device.
0.6 Read carefully and understand it before doing it. Because many steps too. And all the way I say. In the computer, you must install the drivers and I!
It's .7 stock rom nexus 7 Wifi version, select nakasi (grouper) it. The Model 3G or 3G + Wifi. Select nakasig (tilapia).
0.8 I thank everyone. And all the comments too. I suggest that the nexus 7 brick.
0.9 If a brick at me because I was pushed to the nexus 7 root tool v 5.0 to flash stock rom just to watch a lot of this toolkit. + audio bug bit orchestrated. I recommend the use of or nexus root toolkit v1.6.3 wugfresh it.

It's actually much easier than doing all that.
1) Download Chainfires latest root and copy to SD card
2) Download TWRP
3) With tablet on, all drivers installed and Android SDK, and tablet plugged into PC... "ADB reboot bootloader"
4) rename the recovery you downloaded from TWRP to "recovery.img" and make sure you've copied it to your ADB folder
5) Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" minus the quotes
6) use volume and power keys to select "recovery"
7) Once in TWRP flash SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
8) when you reboot Superuser will be updated automatically by the Play Store
Nice tut btw!

That's the same thing just with renaming mate. I also prefer not to flash recovery fully until factory images are out, hence why I ask to backup first.

Nburnes, thank you for your contribution. Any, and all help is appreciated. However, ATG's instructions are a little clearer, and easier. I have had my new Nexus for less then 12 hours, and it is already unlocked, and rooted. Yee-Haw! :good: Now bring on those ROMs!
Thanks, guys.
Thank you so much!
Rooted now and was able to get OTG to recognize 2 flashdrives simultaneously.
Thanks for the instructions ATGAdmin. Successfully unlocked, installed TWRP, and rooted in a matter of minutes!

Flashing a custom recovery

Hello! I know I have already posted a few threads about this, but I want to be 100% right, that's the only way to learn Android!
So I want to flash CWM touch recovery to my device, and I don't want to use any toolkits like I did before. The only thing I want to have from the toolkit now are drivers, because I won't uninstall them, seems pointless.
This is how I think you have to flash a recovery, but please correct me if I'm wrong!
1.Download fastboot files and place them in any directory (how many files are they? Do I have to extract them?
2.download customrecovery.img and place the file in the same directory as the fastboot files.
3.Open command prompt in that directory and type "fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img"
Is this the full guide on how to install a recovery? Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
In a nutshell, yes, you are correct. For more detailed answers:
1. Yes, place them in the same directory as your ADB drivers, that way you won't have to CD when switching between the two.
2. correct
3. this is correct, but you HAVE to be in bootloader mode.
So the order would be:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
Easy, and +1 for wanting to learn how to do things the proper way.

Ok so the only files I need are adb drivers, fastboot drivers and the recovery. But do I have to extract any of them? Or just download and place them in the directory without changing the files?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
that would depend where you got them. I use this, because I don't want to download and install the SDK. Download the zip at the bottom of this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1) named "platform-tools-v16.zip". Extract the contents to an easy to reach folder, I use C:\Android. Then when you want to use terminal commands shift+right click "open command window here", connect your device, ensure USB Debugging is on and that you've given ADB permissions when it asks for the RSA key. Then you can run "adb devices" to see if they work properly.

Boot your phone into bootloader mode, connect your phone to your PC with USB cable, run command "fastboot devices" to check if the driver is properly setup. If you can see your device ID then it is good to go.
Else, download google usb drivers here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
This guy says you have to wipe data/factory reset. I dont think thats needed right? Cause he actually wipes his OS right?
http://youtu.be/nb_MweQpGbQ
You don't have to flash the user data image, but it could result in not getting past the boot screen on initial boot.

Install Custom Recovery
We’ve 2 custom recoveries available yet for our Nexus 4 viz ClockworkMod and TWRP. ClockworkMod or CWM (in short) comes in 2 variants (Touch UI based & Non-Touch UI based). Below I have mentioned on how to flash each one of them using fastboot. For more info about these two recoveries, visit ClockworkMod and TeamWin websites.
Reboot your device into bootloader mode. Either manually, by powering off and then pressing Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously or using the following command in CMD/Terminal.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Download the latest build of your desired recovery [CWM | TWRP]
Place the downloaded recovery image (.img) file on your desktop.
If in Windows, open CMD and cd it to the desktop using the following command
Code:
cd Desktop

Code:
cd ~/Desktop
To flash ClockworkMod Non-Touch, type in the following command:

Now, either reboot your device by using volume keys to highlight Reboot and select using Power button or reboot into the recovery by selecting Recovery mode.
Voila! The next to follow is to root or directly flash a Custom ROM, which is already rooted
And do I have to do a factory reset when that is done?

Nope.
If you boot into recovery and see an android lying out with exclamation mark, use "fastboot format cache" in bootloader mode.

That will only happens when you use stock rom with install-recovery.sh. if you plan to use custom ROM, safely ignore it.

I am currently running the stock rom without any mods, so CWM will stick?
And yes I'm planning to get back my old love CM as soon as it updates to 4.3

This is getting complication since the introduction of new rooting method for 4.3.....
A: You don't want root
Answer yes if CWM ask you to rename install-recovery.sh, otherwise it won't stick.
B: You want to root with SuperSU
After flashing SuperSU zip, answer No if CWM ask you to rename install-recovery.sh, because the file is modified by SuperSU and it is needed for the root to work.

I want root, so after flashing the supersu zip CWM will ask me? All right!
Will it ask me always after flashing something?

It will ask every time when you want to reboot from CWM. Alternatively, you can use twrp.

Download another version of mfastboot, or simply just fastboot, or try from scratch again!
I saw earlier your mfastboot folder has recovery.img, so cannot be a misplace error!
Still check again it is there! Otherwise, do what i wrote in first line!

Root Redmi Note 3 Pro! [Install Twrp and Root]

Hi guys today I will tell you that How you can install Twrp Recovery and root your Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon Version.
This method of installing Twrp Recovery also work on any Xiaomi Device. By Any Device i mean the Newer Xiaomi device that comes with a locked bootloader. You just have to replace the Twrp Recovery Image file with your device Recovery image file But i am using my Redmi Note 3 in this video to show you guys the tutorial.
And as I said locked bootloader that means that you have to first unlock your device bootloader to install Twrp on your device.
You can check you my video on it:-
http://goo.gl/gZWfvA
So Now after you have unlocked your phone bootloader let me tell you that how you can install the Twrp Recovery and root your Xiaomi device.
Steps:-
So first Download The 2 files Adb.zip and then extract it and Twrp Recovery for your device.
Then move the Recovery file to the adb folder and make sure that you have installed the adb drivers for your Android phone.
If you don't know how to install it You can check out my video:-
http://goo.gl/a6QgtH
Then download the supersu.zip and the lazyflasher.zip on your micro SD card And Then connect your device to PC via USB cable.
Then open the adb folder And Press and hold the shift button and right click together.
Then click on the CMD option to open CMD And then type The following commands
First type "adb devices" and enter to check that your device is detected.
Then type "adb reboot bootloader" to reboot your phone in fastboot mode.
You can also boot your phone manually in fastboot mode by powering off the device and press and hold the volume down and power button at the same time.
Then type "Fastboot flash recovery" and the name of the Twrp image.
Just type the first 2-3 words of your Twrp image file and press the tab button then it will automatically paste the name of the image file and then press enter to start flashing.
Now you have flashed the Twrp Recovery.
Then you can disconnect your phone and to go in the recovery Just press and hold the volume up and power button together to boot into recovery.
Then you will get this kind of a screen just cancel
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if you get this kind of a screen then just "Swipe to Allow Modifications"
And when you go to your internal storage it will not show you your device storage because the device is encrypted.
So to fix this you have to go to wipe and format the data of your device. This will erase everything on your phone not your micro SD card.
So backup everything first
And most of you get this error if you're running miui 8 marshmallow on your phone.
Now you can see your internal storage but now you have to flash the super su zip and the lazy flasher zip That you have placed on your micro SD card earlier.
So go to install and select the storage in which the files are saved and then install both of them.
First install the supersu.zip and then the lazyflasher.zip and Then wipe cache and reboot.
It will take some time at first boot.
Now the super su app will be installed on my phone.
Let's check with the root checker.
So that's how you can root your Redmi Note 3 Very easily and also other Xiaomi devices.
So hope you like it.
Check out my video about this topic:-

Lazy Flasher- https://goo.gl/AzC3JD
Super su- https://goo.gl/t23Zok

Why you ppl mess up things ! It's ok for beginners but try to explain all kind of twrp we have for our device and fastboot format user data command properly

No no.. I mean there's this YouTube tutorials I just used yesterday and it took me only 5 mins tops to root my Redmi note 3 pro. Cuz they have a flash.bat file with all the necessary file in one zip file. Put your phone to fastboot and run the flash.bat and it's done. So no need to manually type all those adb commands.

Hi, I've followed this guide just to install the twrp so I din't flash the other packages. TWRP was installed succesfully but the system doesn't boot anymore. It keeps locked on the "mi mi.com" screen (without "android" on the bottom). What can I do now?

You have to flash the lazy flasher zip from Twrp recovery. I have given the link in the post and then I will boot.
And be patient it take me around real 15 mins to boot. Please always read the full guide
