CWM recovery wont flash after KRT16O -> KRT16S OTA. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I flashed the full system image of KRT16O when it was released. I then flashed with fastboot the CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery image. I then got the OTA to update to KRT16S. I read online that I didnt have to unroot or go back to the stock recovery so I just let it update like normal. It updated fine, loaded up fine, etc. So I then went to use fastboot to reflash the CWM recovery image however all I get is the android on his back with the red triangle.
Am I doing something wrong? Could my recovery partition be screwed? How do I fix it. Thanks!

i should also mention that when I use fastboot to flash the recovery image, it says it was copied/flashed successfully - but it doesn't work.

You didn't flashed recovery or didn't do it correctly. What you saw is stock recovery.
And remember to flash recovery to the correct partition: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

yea i dont think u flashed it correctly either.
go to clockworkmod, download the latest.... copy it to the platform tools folder. then fastboot flash it again...

thanks guys. Im familiar with the process - when I flashed the factory image KRT16O I then used fastboot to flash CWM just a few days prior without a hitch. But on Friday it just wouldnt "stick". I tried three times, each time it said successful but then after a reboot it would be gone. On the third time though after I flashed it, and it said success, I then went into recovery from the bootloader screen and it was there, so I rebooted and went back and this time it had stayed. strange.
Side note - does debugging need to be on to use fastboot?

I am having the same problem.
After the OTA, CWM won't stick. I get a red triangle.
fastboot screen shows that I have a secure boot, whereas the phone shows the lock as unlocked.

USB debugging box should be checked in order to use fastboot.

try to root the phone again and making sure before flashing the CWM, you should erase the old one, use command in fastboot:
fastboot erase recovery
and then
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

I got CWM working again. Not sure how.
I disabled ART, reboot and CWM worked.
Enabled ART and CWM still works, just that it asks if I want to install SU again before booting.

Fastboot mode - no boot or recovery img **help**

Hi
I've searched for a solution but didn't find one for my problem so...
I was trying to flash an updated kernel through Kernel Manager application and then it said it cannot complete task and asked me to reboot system.
I then entered into the recovery and flashed the kernel manually.
When rebooted system I got the message "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG" in red at the top of the bootloader.
So naturally I thought maybe it lost the recovery so I went and flashed CWM recovery 3.0.2.5 (had 3.0.2.4 when all this happened) through fastboot and that went OK.
I then entered the recovery to make sure the recovery flashing went OK and pressed Restart system now.
But then it started the bootloader and the same message appeared "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG" in red at the top of the bootloader.
I repeated that process few times and same thing.
The strange thing is when I select "REBOOT BOOTLOADER" and it boots into bootloader I see "FASTBOOT MODE" in red at the top. But when I try to reboot the phose I see the message to the top again.
How can I get out of this?
Hi guys,
I've got the same problem, although I don't know if it IS a problem.
I'm running v7.0.0-NS and I'm going to upgrade to v7.0.3 ... just searching for instructions!!!
~AndrewGoldy
since I am able to enter the recovery Im trying to restore an earlier backup. Not sure it this will do anything since my problem is in the bootloader area.
If this makes my phone to start up normally then I really dont understand this.
*** I think that I've just fixed it ***
I opened up "Rom Manager v4.2.0.2", and then selected the option to "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Once it had downloaded "ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4", I selected the option to "Reboot into Recovery".
That worked.
It now says "Fastboot Mode" when I boot into the Bootloader.
Success!!!! (I think)
Well it just finished restoring the backup.
It seems it solved the problem on mine to since it passed the bootloader and the boot animation is on.
I really cant understand this.
I've done the same but the Recovery Stil nor Bootloader works. However it does say Fast boot mode now instead of no boot or recovery img. But still can't flash or back up a rom!
Correction i got it work after flashing to oldest recovery that was an option
I fixed this problem (Nexus S) by reverting to an older (3.0.2.4) CMRecovery, just go down to the last option "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and Flash an older version (mine was not working with 5.0.2.0).
Hi! Anyoane can help me ?
I disconnected by accidently the USB cable while the phone was at the ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0/-mounts and storage/-mount USB storage, and after that ( adb , fastboot and usb died).
I installed Stock OTA 2.3.6 I9023 for my Nexus S I9023. During the day phone closed and no longer wanted to open (even replace the battery). After more hours the phone is open , adb and usb works not for a long time after several attempts ( during this time I managed it to root and install CWM 5.0.2.0 back)
I flashed ICS Kwiboo v3 . After reboot the phone began to froze , and shortaly closed.
Because the phone will no longer open I tried in CWM all ( wipe data:fact, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format/all ) .
Now if reboot system on CWM I have Fastboot Mode - No Boot or Recovery IMG
but if I reboot bootloader or power off when is opened is just Fastboot Mode .
Adb , fastboot and mount USB still no work. ( I have SDK 14 on windows7 installed, all the driver for Nexus S was updated).
Because the PC not recognized my phon I can't install another ROM or CWM.
( When USB cable connecting on the phone it's charge the battery only!).
Thanks for your advice!
No recovery img & fastboot devices -> nothing
Hi all,
When I try to access the recovery mode on my NS, I have the same "no boot or recovery img". I change my CWM version from last to 3.0.2.4 and another version too. Still, I can't access the recovery mode.
I installed the SDK to restore a stock recovery image I found, hoping to use fastboot (from the sdk + a standalone version I found before). But it won't recognize my phone (fastboot devices -> nothing). I installed the PdaNet for the Android 1.0 driver, and the Android 4.0 driver from the SDK. Still nothing, although "adb devices" apparently sees my phone.
I've spent my whole night on this. Without recovery I can't backup, and I can't switch rom (heard of this ICS rolling-out ? I'd like to have some flavour of it), I can't wipe or whatever.
Please can someone point me to a solution for fastboot to see the phone, or even better, to reinstall a recovery tool ?
Thanks a huge lot

I can help you but....
1. In bootloader mod ADB working ? (if not try back off battery for 10 min or more) and try again..
2. Your device is rooted ?
I was going to suggest trying to reflash the latest recovery again in CWM, but I think you guys said that hasn't worked.
Every now and then when I flash a new ROM this happens to me. I usually just flash an older version, then reflash the newest version and the Recovery works just fine.
Maybe try using a different recovery program?
it does work, many have done it already, see all the duplicated topics

1. I removed the battery for 10mn. When I come back to the bootloader "ADB devices" doesn't return a device, so it doesn't see my phone. But when switched on, it can see it.
2. Yes, it is. There is the SuperUser app, and when apps ask for root, I can allow or deny. And the lock state is 'unlocked'

I tried the latest, the oldest, the versions inbetween... nothing. I have the latest version of CWM and I reflashed the last Recovery from the app.
I can't flash another ROM, because I need recovery mode for that ; and my problem is that I can't access recovery indeed... :/ I feel like I need A to do B, and B to do A.
"No boot or recovery img": doesn't it mean that I should put some file somewhere ? I hope it would be that simple.
Do you have other ideas ?

I've tried several time, flashing different versions of CWM recovery. I've returned to bootloader -> recovery dozens of time and I still have the "no boot no recovery img". I'll try again.
All the threads which speak about it and mention to flash another rom -> yeah thanks, but I can't access recovery
Threads mentioning fastboot -> I tried with different drivers (including 1.0 and 4.0), but fastboot won't see/talk to my device
Do you see something else that I didn't try ?
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------
I also tried this which seems to be a good step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356319
Basically it says
adb shell
SU
flash_image recovery /sdcard/filename.img
But like the guy in thread, I have memory errors "mtd: read error at 0x00000000 (out of memory)" then write errors, then "failed with error: -1" and "error writing recovery"
It's ok now.
In case other it can help other people:
I tried again the PDAnet installation to get the android 1.0 drivers. (actually there is a binary called "install legacy usb drivers" which apparently worked well.)
Fastboot would detect my phone in bootloader mode.
So I could "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" I first failed with a stock recovery, but for which I didn't know the exact reference and origins (I was stuck with the exclamation point in white triangle). As I couldn't find another stock recovery for Nexus S, I downloaded the CWM recovery from the website (not from the app), last version (5.0.2.0) and flashed it with fastboot.
It seems to work properly now, so i'm doing a rom backup, just in case for later, and I'll flash stock ICS
FYI: rom manager only caused me issues ; I don't know why Cyanogen uses it. Just use the recovery directly from recovery... Even CWM. just not Rom Manager.
Cheers and thanks to those who tried to help.

THANKS! This helped A TON!
I did the PDA installation again, and for some reason this seemed to fix my inability to access recovery.
Agreed on Rom manager, I updated CWM through rom manager and I believe that's what buggered up my recovery, as I have never had trouble accessing it before I did that.
But again, a big THANKS for that suggestion!

updated to 4.4.1 stuck in boot animation!

Installed 4.4.1 via TWRP this morning, but it is stuck in reboot. Just keeps doing the colliding circles!
Tried rebooting a couple of times. Can get to fastboot, But device isn't seen by adb, and fastboot only shows start (no recovery option)
Any ideas at this point?

I would recommend flashing the 4.4 stock factory image from here in fastboot mode. Then once your device is booting up properly again I would recommend taking a look at this guide to properly install the 4.4.1 update.
You MUST either side load or safer still, un-root(if rooted) and flash stock recovery and sideload and then re-flash custom recovery and re-root if needed.
If you are able to get to fastboot:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( use stock)
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
go into to stock recovery - wait for dead droid, one you see him, go into recovery by holding volume+ and power at same time
follow the orange instructions to sideload via adb - which should now work
reboot and validate all is well
reboot into bootloader and re-flash your custom recovery and root (if needed)
Enjoy.

If you mean stuck at boot animation, then I suspect you used TWRP to flash?
I found that TWRP was not able to clear caches, so I use CWM instead. Worked like a champ...

Hold volume up and power to get it to recycle, and immediately hold all three buttons down to get to bootloader. Try clearing your caches from recovery

Hi,
Try flashing it fresh stock again, factory reset your device from recovery, download the stock image file from here, untar it, then unzip the zip inside the tar and you'll get some files (.img). Copy those files to your fastboot folder and then open a cmd there. (Guessing that you're using Windows)
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
If you're using Linux, do the same, but instead of only fastboot use:
Code:
sudo ./fastboot
Then boot it. I had the same problem when I updated mine to 4.4.1, but I did one thing a little different... Instead of fully "stocking" it again, I flashed back 4.3, flashed 4.4 OTA and then let it boot, without wiping my data, after all it was running like this before. Worked. But as I'm unsure of your situation I think it's more secure and easier to fully stock it again.
Hope this helps,
~Lord
PS.: Remember to put your device in fastboot mode!

XT905 - flashing recovery overwrites system

Hey guys,
I have an stock, unlocked and rooted xt905 lying here with stock recovery right now.
For several times now I tried to flash either cwm or twrp but had no luck.
Thats what I did:
- complete backup
- unlock bootloader
- restore backup
- fastboot flash boot twrp.img
- fastboot reboot
Flashing twrp doesnt throw up any error but as soon as I say reboot, the phone reboots into twrp instead of booting the system.
If I try to reboot to system within twrp, it reboots to twrp again. Booting to recovery from twrp brings me to stock recovery.
Its the same thing with cwm and I dont have any clue why, as other users are saying that twrp is working fine.
Till now I tried several different versions of fastboot, twrp and cwm and none of them worked.
Any ideas?
You're using the wrong fastboot command.
By typing "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" you are flashing TWRP in place of the boot.img. You need to type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img."

I am working on this phone since yesterday and couldnt figure it out....till now.
Embarrassing! I flashed about a dozen phones before and never had any problems whatsoever and now this.....
Thanks anyway! I am glad that I didnt brick the phone with flashing the wrong partition.

Lost recovery, cant boot, only fastboot

Guys... when i tried to flash oos 3.0 on my op2 through twrp, i first wiped the data to install new rom, then install oos 3.0, it failed. I then flashed the recovery i downloaded from the thread, then restart the recovery
I cant boot into the recovery.
System can't boot
Is it called "brick"?
So i tried to flash stock recovery in pc by command, but it says "remote: device is locked. cannot flash images". any solution to this problem?
I can boot into fastboot mode
You need to run the phone in Qualcomm mode on a PC and run the recovery tool to fix you bootloader.
I did the same and it was a royal ball ache trying to find out how to fix it
Don't do what rosswaa said
Why not?
What you should do is boot your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to your pc. Flash this modified TWRP recovery img to your phone https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297945. After that you have to flash this modified SuperSU (through the new recovery) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297946.
The normal recovery doesn't work in OOS 3.0 (just like in HOS) and it's the SuperSU that gives you the soft brick. A dirty flash of the modified SuperSU should fix it.
I also had your problem and I did what rosswaa said which shouldn't be necessary (I lost all my data and backups).
I didn't lose anything, but I tried doing what you said and my bootloader was screwed so wouldn't take a flashed recovery or anything (yes the modified one)
Wish I hadnt been so excited and just flashed but all sorted now
Hmm okay, if it doesn't work with flashing the new recovery img then do what rosswaa said and after that follow this post https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/installation-instructions-faqs-oxygenos-3-0-0.439108/
Obviously try what green says first, if it works then happy days
first i am really glad that someone give some advices on me. But since i am a noob, how can i flash twrp in fastboot mode? using command? "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img"? thx

Reboot loop, can't access Recovery

This is the whole situation:
I have Pure Nexus installed on my 6P, running great for months. Suddenly yesterday it rebooted while I was using it and sticking in a bootloop. "No problem", I thought, and wanted to reboot into recovery - but nope, can't access it anymore. So I tried to reflash the recovery when I got home, but I only get errorors
When using the command adb devices the line just stays blank. The same with fastboot commands, besides "Fastboot devices"
After messing around a couple hours with the drivers and so on, I managed to somehow get the fastboot command working again. But no sign for the ADB commands, probably because I didn't turn on USB-debugging.
I am now at the point, where I have reflashed Stock Android with the Nexus Root Toolkit and managed to get back into stock android recovery, but still can't get TWRP to boot. I didn't want to delete my personal data, but I saw no other way and formatted /data in stock recovery. But the problem with the bootloop is still there.
It's not the classic bootloop, it boots as far as the Google Logo, then shuts itself down and begins again. I have now reached the point where I have to say, that the hardware might be damaged too. I'd love to somehow get access to the internal storage at least, but I can't without a working ADB.
Reinstalled TWRP with every available version, none of them worked. I am able to access stock Android recovery, but adb commands aren't working from here anyway.
Is there an option to fix the recovery mode? If I could get this working, the rest would be easy for me.
Edit: The reboot looks like in this Link. Only difference is, my device doesn't even the reach the dots.

If you can get fastboot commands to work, just flash the factory image per Heisenberg's guide. Toolkits are more trouble than help. Return it to fresh stock with a full wipe and start fresh.

That vid you linked is an N5 with a stuck power button. It'll do the same thing and reboot recovery as well. It could be your issue but if it is it'll be the first stuck power button I've heard of on a 6P.
When you access fastboot does it stay on in fastboot or does it reboot from it?

You contradict yourself a bit so it is difficult to help you. You got to stock recovery but you can't boot into TWRP? If you have stock recovery, of course you can't boot into TWRP. You have wiped your data but you still want to preserve your data ... Huh?
Your phone isn't working so just nuke and pave with the command line and avoid toolkits. They are sometimes part of the problem.

When stock recovery is installed, I am from time to time able to access it (most of the times it just ends in a bootloop)
If I flash TWRP I can't access it, no matter how often I try
I have factory reset my phone, the stuff on the internal is still there and I want to reach this, as I have my chats, SMS, university stuff and so on backed up on the internal storage
I am trying everything - all the regular adb methods, toolkits, every driver, nothing is working
Sorry if you don't understand my situation, but I am in a pinch right now
You said you have fastboot working?
Download the factory image zip file. Extract it. Extract the zip file from inside that as well. Move the img files to your platform-tools folder.
Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Hold volume down+power from a powered off state.
Plug into PC, open command line from your platform-tools folder.
Type, fastboot devices
Does it show your serial number? If so, start flashing the following images;
Bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, vendor.img, system.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Flash with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
(Substitute "xx.xx" for the version number shown in the img files you unpacked)
Reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you do that, boot to stock recovery and cache wipe. Reboot and you're stock. If you're still not able to boot after that post back.
Edit: You said you wanted to avoid flashing factory images to keep internal storage in tact. Do it this way and you can have your cake and eat it too.
Edit2: wrong, see my latest reply

You said you have fastboot working?
Download the factory image zip file. Extract it. Extract the zip file from inside that as well. Move the img files to your platform-tools folder.
Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Hold volume down+power from a powered off state.
Plug into PC, open command line from your platform-tools folder.
Type, fastboot devices
Does it show your serial number? If so, start flashing the following images;
Bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, vendor.img, system.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Flash with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
(Substitute "xx.xx" for the version number shown in the img files you unpacked)
Reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you do that, boot to stock recovery. Perform a factory reset again like you already mentioned you did as well as a cache wipe. Reboot and you're stock. If you're still not able to boot after that post back.

I did this already exactly like you wrote, did it again now, and I am still stuck in the reboot loop (boots up to Google Logo, then shuts itself down; repeat)
Can't reach recovery mode either
You said you had access to stock recovery before?
You already did this?

If you flashed the factory images and still boot looping you may need to RMA.
Did you restore a TWRP backup?
Edit: Sorry, it's late and I have no sleep. I was wrong. I was thinking TWRP. Factory Reset from TWRP before my steps will keep internal storage I'm tact. Factory Reset from stock recovery will wipe internal storage. Everything. You mentioned you did that already from stock recovery before i made my reply. Your data is already gone as soon as you did that. If not, your emmc is likely corrupted and you need to RMA.
Fastboot twrp 3.0.0-0 then try to access it

Yes, I think so too. I flashed the phone with the full Stock image, the bootloop is still there.
Looks like my precious is dead
At least I have my most important data like phonenumbers, pictures and SMS saved to the cloud
Gonna RMA it tomorrow
Goodybe my precious, I hope you'll be fine :crying:
Got my device back today, the mainboard was damaged, so I had no chance to get my data from the phone
Hey, at least my warranty has been renewed 'till 2018

This is the whole situation:
I have Pure Nexus installed on my 6P, running great for months. Suddenly yesterday it rebooted while I was using it and sticking in a bootloop. "No problem", I thought, and wanted to reboot into recovery - but nope, can't access it anymore. So I tried to reflash the recovery when I got home, but I only get errorors
When using the command adb devices the line just stays blank. The same with fastboot commands, besides "Fastboot devices"
After messing around a couple hours with the drivers and so on, I managed to somehow get the fastboot command working again. But no sign for the ADB commands, probably because I didn't turn on USB-debugging.
I am now at the point, where I have reflashed Stock Android with the Nexus Root Toolkit and managed to get back into stock android recovery, but still can't get TWRP to boot. I didn't want to delete my personal data, but I saw no other way and formatted /data in stock recovery. But the problem with the bootloop is still there.
It's not the classic bootloop, it boots as far as the Google Logo, then shuts itself down and begins again. I have now reached the point where I have to say, that the hardware might be damaged too. I'd love to somehow get access to the internal storage at least, but I can't without a working ADB.
Reinstalled TWRP with every available version, none of them worked. I am able to access stock Android recovery, but adb commands aren't working from here anyway.
Is there an option to fix the recovery mode? If I could get this working, the rest would be easy for me.
Edit: The reboot looks like in this Link. Only difference is, my device doesn't even the reach the dots.

Try flashing TWRP 3.0.2-3 or boot into twrp through fastboot. Using
fastboot boot recovery <twrp filename>.img
I think booting to twrp using this command will work.
And here's the link to Twrp 3.0.2-3 , as its not available on Official Twrp page.

I had the same problem with my 5X, nothing worked I tried every possible solution described above and more. Nothing. I figured out that there was nothing to loose and followed directions from YouTube videos (links below) and it worked. Used heat gun at max temp for about 2 mins from each side. It's been about 12 hours since then, phone works flawlessly. Here are the links:

Be careful handling the motherboard after you heat the first side, let it cool first before you start working on the second side. The same with the second side do not pick it up until it's cool.
5X, Pure Nexus Rom 7.1.2 June 5th security update, Elemental X Kernel,
has anyone found solution to this?????
