I can't seem to boot into recovery or bootloader.
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I have purity rom installed, and have TWRP recovery installed.
I had this problem a few days ago but I was able to turn the phone off then hold both the up/down volume with the power button to get into bootloader, then from there I was able to choose recovery and get into TWRP. Mysteriously after I did that I could then enter recovery directly.
So now here are my symptoms. I cannot boot into recovery or bootloader directly through the ROM, or by using GOO.im.
If I power down and then use volume + power button, it powers up normally.
Also, even though I had trickster setup with custom settings and had it to "set on boot" those settings are all gone.
Last thing is that when I was able to get into bootloader last week I noticed the setting "secure boot - enable"
Any suggestions?
Update, I could have sworn I had installed ROM Manager, but it wasn't there. I installed it and used it to boot into recovery... Well it worked, now I'm able to get to recovery (TWRP). And I got back into the bootloader as well.
So I'm ok for now, but this is going to happen again I'm sure
your issue is that youre doing it wrong, its power button + volume DOWN to get into the bootloader.

Thanks, that's one issue out of the way... manual bootloader solved.
Now the issue of not being able to boot into recovery or bootloader through rom and settings getting wiped.

what do you mean through the rom? do you have a terminal emulator installed? try this..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
if this works fine, then its your rom at fault. dont use rom manager, that app will eventually cause you more grief then its worth. if you long press the power button, then press reboot, does it give you an option to boot into recovery/bootloader? and what do you mean settings get wiped?

Ok, so by "through the rom" I mean long-pressing power and then using that option to either boot into bootloader or recovery.
by settings getting wiped, I mean settings for the kernel, like custom color settings, vibrate strength settings, etc.
I won't be able to properly test your theory with the terminal emulator because I fixed the problem for now. I can now enter recovery using the long-press power button option.
I have read that sometimes a recovery won't "stick" sometimes if the "secure boot" is set to enable (You can see this at the bottom in bootloader screen). Maybe I need to disable this?

if you flash recovery via fastboot, it always sticks(unless you use fastboot boot instead of fastboot flash, then itll just boot it once). if you flash it with an app/toolkit, then it might disappear and need to be flashed again.

I used adb to flash it originally, I will flash it again tonight through adb.
though when my problem occurs I don't think the recovery is gone, I think that for some reason it can't be reached by long-pressing the power button.
The first time this happened to me I was able to go into bootloader manually, then I went to recovery from there.. .then booted into system. After that I was able to boot into recovery from long-press power.

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
Hi all,
I've followed the howtos in their entirety(temp root > permroot > one click S-OFF > ROM manager > boot into recovery)
I don't get the red triangle warning when attempting to boot into recovery from ROM manager, what it does is it simply will boot normally, not matter how many times I re-flash RM recovery!
Any ideas?
First, check out the link in my signature, and try not to skip anything.
Second, and this might help you, disable fast boot from settings> applications> fast boot. Power off your phone. While holding down volume down key press the power button until you enter bootloader. I'm not exactly a pro here, but booting into recovery with Rom Manager (considering you actually flashed the recovery from it) should be done after turning radio s-off AND eng s-off. Once again, check the guide in my sig
I followed your guide, and I have permroot. It just will ignore any command to enter recovery mode, even though I can enter bootloader fine.
In rom manager, the first button you can press is flash recovery. do that. after it is flashed you can boot into the recorvery
I've pressed that button many times. It says 'completed successfully', but then reboots and boots up normally.
Are you sure you turned Fastboot off?

try flashing recovery from fastboot see instructions here
I'll try that. This may be a stupid question, but where can I get a recovery.img?

try post #46 once you have successfully flashed that you should hopefully find that you can update via rom manager
I currently have a rooted phone with the following:
ROM: GorillaSense-DHD-MT4G-v2.2.3
Radio: 26.03.02.26_M
S-Off
Hboot: 0.85.2007
ClockWork Mod 3.0.2.4
After I got permanent S-Off I can only boot into recovery mode through CWM Reboot into Recovery. I have tried uninstalling with Titanium and reinstalling through the Market but it didn't fix the problem. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Another question. Do I need to upgrade to a newer ROM to fix the ClientLogin vulnerability mentioned at engadget or does 'fixed on the server side' mean that the security tokens (or whatever those things are) handed out can't be spoofed by a server in a wireless network?

a few ways to boot into recovery
1)
turn off the phone > hold the power button down along with the volume down rocker
2)
from the terminal emulator
Code:
$ su
# reboot recovery
3) from the CMD prompt via ADB
Code:
c:\<file_name>adb reboot recovery
or
Code:
c:\<file_name> adb shell
# reboot recovery
as far as your security issues i dunno. I do not use public access wifi routers.
by fixed on the server side, that means it was a problem with Google's servers, not your phones. Google has fixed it.

I should have mentioned that I can't get into recovery mode using the volume down + power button method. Do you know how I can get that functionality back?
Do methods 2 and 3 require the OS to launch? I am concerned that I won't be able to get into recovery mode if the OS is not available. Is this a valid concern?

What happens when you do it? You don't have "recovery" in menu? Then choose "Fastboot", and there'll be "recovery".

Nothing happens. It boots normally with my finger is holding down the volume down button. The phone only boots into the recovery menu when I select the recovery option in Clockwork Mod.

Go to "settings>applications>development" and make sure fastboot is UNCHECKED. fastboot will disable booting into recovery mode when enabled...hence...only CWM gets you there.
UNCHECK fastboot then turn off your phone....you should be able to use the 2 button combo
::thanks?did i help?::

Can you get to the bootloader screen so you can use fastboot? If so try flashing the TWRP recovery, it's a great recovery.

I can press the power button and both volumes and it gets me to download mode... from there, every option i try just gets me back to recovery. when i press start, it sends me to recovery. when i press shut down and then turn it on - recovery. when i press restart bootloader, it still takes me to recovery afterwards. wtf happened here man? never seen this before.

If you can at least get to download/fastboot mode, either get the stock recovery.img file or extract the recovery.img file from a custom_recover.zip, such as CMW or TWRP and place it in the directory where you have the fastboot util on your Windows PC, plug in the device into your Windows PC. Then type the folowing in a Windows Command prompt(without the quotes): "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Once that finishes then try rebooting back to recovery.
If you that doesn't work you may have a damaged bootloader, you can try extracting the bootloader(bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img) from the stock ROM and flashing it with the following command: "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img" then you can type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to reboot directly to the bootloader.

This happened to me yesterday.
Step 1 - hold down the power+volume up+volume down
Step 2 - plug up USB cable and use fastboot to flash the "touch" recovery version. Usebthe method as before, you might need to point your machine to the "naked driver" in dev section to get windows to see the fastboot device driver.
Step 3 - once you are in touch recovery you can just use the touchscreen instead of power button

You can just "adb reboot" from any computer with working adb and drivers.
This needs to not be flashed by default from Rom Manager until they get it taken care of. Twrp and cwm touch work just fine.

Seriously. Can we please sticky a thread or something that says CWM isn't stable on the nexus 10 yet. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.
I had the same issue get rid of crappy cwm and flash twrp, flash it by downloading the 1.3 nexus 10 rootkit selecting option 6 i believe with your n10 connected to your pc, it will fix your issue

I was able to fix it by re-flashing CW touch. thanks guys!
hello
i have a lg v20 us996 phone and i unlock the bootloader via lg's official unlock tool. then i boot into bootloader and use fastboot tool flash twrp-3.0.2-1-us996 recovery, everything goes well.
i reboot the phone use fastboot command
Code:
fastboot reboot
phone seemed to get a factory wipe and i re-enable the usb debug again in the develope mode
then reboot to recovery use adb command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
but after reboot, i can only get lg's recovery. I've tried to re-flash twrp use fastboot,but every time i reboot to recovery i could only get lg recovery only, there is on way to reboot to twrp.
anyone can help me to get boot into twrp, thank you
Dont reboot the device after flashing recovery in ADB. Boot straight to recovery.

but can u tell me how to reboot straight to recovery while finish flash recovery in fastboot mode, i can't find way do this.
I have unlock the bootloader so each time i boot up the phone, first there is a lg logo displaying for about 2 second and then a warning msg will appear on the screen. this warning message will display on the screen for about ten second and then a lg logo appear again then boot the android system. i don't know how to interrupt the normal boot process and get into recovery manual.
when i use adb to reboot to recovery, lg recovery will appear after the warning message screen off. i turnoff the phone and press power+down button together to try to get into recovery manually, but after the lg logo appear the second time, there is no way to start recovery. the phone will boot to android directly.
ok i find the way to get into twrp now by vidoe in youtube.

Also having this problem, however when I hold the POWER+VOLUME DOWN buttons to try to boot into recovery after shutdown/battery removal - the system STILL loads.
I get the warning saying the bootloader is unlocked though. After that the phone just starts up as normal, even though I'm holding the buttons

here is the step i find finally
1. re-boot into fastboot mode
2. flash twrp use fastboot command.
3. power-off the phone
4. power-on with power and volume down button holding
5. while lg log appears, release power button immediately for 1 second and then hold again
6. when recovery selection screen appears, select 'yes' both two times.
now phone boot to twrp recovery.
REMEMBER: WHEN YOU BOOT INTO LG'S SYSTEM AGAIN, YOU WILL LOST TWRP. IF U WANT TO USE TWRP AGAIN, U MUST RE-FLASH TWRP AND REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE. THIS WILL LOST ALL DATA(PHONE WILL GET FACTORY RECOVERED)!!
I hope this can help you, good luck.

You need to delete the file recovery-from-boot.p in /system
Each time you boot, that file gets executed and restores the stock recovery from recoverybak. Alternatively, you can flash TWRP to both recovery and recoverybak.
