Help, Lost Recovery! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was installing a new ROM with TWRP and it got stuck. I can boot back into TWRP, but there is no recovery. I can connect to adb and it sees my device, but i can not get into adb shell to flash. what else can i do? At this point, i just need to flash with a different rom, but cant push or flash

Is it running a script or something? or just a blank screen?

Do you have a custom recovery? If yes use adb to push a custom rom to the sdcard: adb push namerom.zip /sdcard/. If you have stock recovery try to get in fastbootmode and push a custom recovery (TWRP pr CWM) and do the above.
I assume you have root, if you don`t you have to reflash a factory image in fastbootmode from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam.

Yes my phone is rooted. and i do have a custom recovery (CWM) . and so i open CMD in my SDK file and say this line " adb push namerom.zip /sdcard/"?

Yes, that`a all. Place the rom you want to push in the platform-tools folder though or adb will not find it. It`s best to open CMD with a right click and open as administrator.

[Q] twrp recovery not flashing

so i tried to flash twrp 2.5 instead of cwm, first through goo manager, and that didnt work. it said that the recovery was installed, but i booted into recovery and it was still cwm. then i tried it with fastboot, that didnt work either. any way to get around this? i even tried to erase revovery but that didnt work either. i checked if fastboot was working by doing the ./adb devices, and it said it was working, so idk what to do now.
thanks

fastboot and adb arent the same. in fastboot its.. fastboot devices. if you did a adb devices, and it saw you, then you were using adb.

start fastboot. then open a command window there, be sure that youre connected via usb and in the bootloader of your phone, type fastboot devices, check if you are visible, if you are type.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
if you want to delete the recovery, use the fastboot delete recovery command.

woot!
did it actually flash this time?!?
no, you wont be able to restore it via twrp. you can flash the stock factory img and become completely stock through fastboot. its 3 or four words only, and the files of course. but if you would want to restore your cwm backup, probably installing cwm recovery would do the trick.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, load a .zip rom and push it via custom recovery...
.... If not, use ADB to push a reflash of a clean install of 4.3

if you are able to boot to recovery. you have to be in fast boot...
you can either use fastboot to flash over
or
boot into recovery and apply a rom via ADB sideload

open command prompt with adb loaded
type adb sideload romname.zip
the rom should be in the same folder the adb/fastboot tools are located

You're getting you tools messed up...
For fastboot you need to be in the bootloader (vol- and pwr)

From fastboot... You could
1) flash the stock kernel, reboot to recovery, and factory reset
2) flash TWRP to boot, reboot to recovery, use adb to push whatever you want to /sdcard/, then flash that
3) download either from the BTS thread or from Essential, a back to stock fastboot flashable
If none of those sound good...
Fastboot flash the stock kernel, reboot to recovery, and sideloadable an OTA from the Essential website...

can't install lineage os on this device help me

I can't install lineage os 17.1 official. I'm on android 10. Sideload doesn't work for me
Why doesn't it work?
Is there an error or something?
You can also temporarily boot twrp or any other recovery using
Code:
fastboot boot twrpOrOtherRecovery.img
and use the install feature there.
It would be really helpfull if you tell us what you did and what error occured.
EDIT: Did you follow this official guide using the rom for your device?

So...
1) you are in lineageOS' recovery
2) click `apply update'
3) `from adb'
4) You do adb sideload lineageos.zip
And then, the device stays black and nothing appears on the screen? No text or anything appears?
What about your terminal on your computer? Does it indicate that it's actually sideloading that zip?

Okay. Then try the following:
1) boot twrp.
2) do adb push /path/to/lineageos.zip /tmp
3) Via twrp click the `install' button.
4) Navigate to /tmp and choose the lineageos.zip
5) follow instructions to install (twrp shows these)
6) Done.
Does that work?

thanks for your help my friend
I finally managed to flash lineage os directly via twrp recovery and zip file, but during the installation process, the screen went completely off, I had to manually reboot the phone and then it booted, is this normal?

Glad it worked!
I actually never had that before and don't remember that I read that.
But if it works fine now, you shouldn't be too worried about it.
If you want to know what the cause is, maybe you can open another question here. Someone might know, even tough it might be difficult to find the cause without recovery logs.
