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!

New and Easy way to ROOT and CWM 5.0.2.7

New simple way to root by GALAXY TAB HACKS (THANKS)
not sure if this method has been mensioned in 10.1v forums but i noticed a few people still having trouble with root
so when i came across this i tried it on my 10.1v before posting
required windows computer and tab drivers, best way is to install kies software.
bootloader should be unlocked before rooting see chainfire's post.
1- download the attached required files.and extract
2- move the file "galaxy_tab_root_10.1.zip" to the tablet
3- start tab in download mode with powr+vol down combo,
4- start odin on pc and wait till the box goes yellow (means connected). select "recovery ...." file in PDA and flash.
5- after tab restarts making sure that usb debug is checked go to cmd prompt and type "c:\adb reboot recovery"
now tab will reboot into recovery, go to install files from sd select the above copied file and hit it and youre
ROOTED.
AS FOR CWM 5.0.2.7 (DROIDBASEMENT THANKS)
follow steps 3 and 4 using cwm 5 file and you will have latest (blue) recovery.
hope this comes in handy for people that are still struggling.

not easy enough for me
I fail to boot into recovery.
i assume this is in windows: cmd prompt and type "c:\adb reboot recovery"
then windows replies c:\adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Should I first install adb manually? Is there another way to boot into recovery?
Bjorn

That means you need to install drivers.
2nd thought do u have adb/sdk installed on your computer.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I don't think the drivers are the problem. I understood it is sufficient to install kies to get the drivers.
I do not have android adb/sdk on my computer and rather not install it. I am in Uganda and it is really difficult to install large software components with crappy internet connections.
It would be great if there was a way to boot into recovery from the tablet, without the need of a computer?
d

You can with rom manager, but you have to be rooted first, you can install the basic components of sdk,personally I haven't tried any other way.

problems with the last step
hello, i'am trying to root my galaxy 10.1v, i managed to follow the guide till the last step, but when i give the cmd command, the tablet reboots and it appears a green android logo with a yellow exclamation point in a tirangle in the middle... i tryied also other guides but they are to complicated for me, could someone please help me?

seems like it didn't install cwm
so...i followed every step but after entering recovery mode i noticed that it still has the original 3e recovery....i did it with odin over and over again...but still nothing. and however...which one should i install? the one you get after unziping tabrooteasy.zip or the one you get after unziping recovery-cwm_5.0.2.7-sam-ta.....?(i tried both and still showed 3e recovery but which one has to be installed?)

Bricked....Need help

Well, I have finally done it......bricked my Transformer
Any assistance to fix my problem would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my situation:
I have a tf101 - model b90
I was running ICS rom with rogues recovery
I have been trying to fix the GPS problem for a while now and went back to stock rom unrooted to see if that would work.....it did not
In my effort to re-root my device i STUPIDLY flashed recovery with ROM Manager (and then read AFTERWARDS that was BAD, BAD, BAD)
I am now stuck in a recovery bootloop......HERE IS THE GOOD PART
I tried to flash an older ROM - Revolution 3.2
So now i have a combination of the recovery loop and when i try a cold boot it gets stuck on the Linux cold boot / android screen
i have tried to get ADB running with no success.....my computer (WIndows XP) makes the chime when i connect my transformer......i even get the message in the taskbar showing the device is trying to install drivers but it never shows up in my computer
My device does not show up when i run adb
Can get into ADX mode but my model is too new at B90 to run NFLASH
I have downloaded drivers but cant get the transformer to install them
I have tried PERI to unloop to no success - i get an adb error
What can i do to unbrick my transformer?!?!?!
Thanks in advance

if you have a problem installing the drivers try using [Win32/64][Dual Boot] Tubuntu - Dual boot 1 click installer SBK2 Only! my drivers or try using [ADB/FB/APX Driver] Universal Naked Driver 0.7
hope this helps. let me know how your turn out

Silly but start with Skip all, then no, then auto rename all, then yes, see what those do. Ensure that you have the correct zip rom from ASUS from their site, instead of trying to install a DEV ROM.
LET IT SETTLE. Often times these errors are caused by impatience. set the tab down for a while, an hour, maybe 2 when you start this whole reflash.
CWM has an issue with the TF101, if at all possible install TWRP, and work from within there.

I agree with MasterDecker, use TWRP. I had some issues with CWM. TWRP is a nicer interface anyway.
I find wheelie (from linux PC) to get me back from any situation. The steps are not easy at first. I had to download the stock blob, unpack the blob and then use reflash_sbkv1.sh to flash it through USB cable in APX mode.
Even if you don't linux, you could download a free Ubuntu livecd from ubuntu.com, boot off the cd and use wheelie without installing ubuntu linux. Or just about any other linux distro fro that matter.

do you have the v8 bootloader?
it will depend on what rom you have now and which one you want to flash
usb device not found error is either cable or driver fault or you're not running the command as administrator and/or from the right folder.
ps what is CMIIW???

Are you sure you have Acer's ADB drivers installed?

My mistake. That is the correct driver. Try the method I posted in your other thread.

Did It need to enter the APX mode ?? I dont think so, but I'm pretty confused about what to do..

The steps in the other thread are to be undertaken from your recovery.

what is v8 bootloader ? im going to try changing sdcard today, any idea how to push the file using usb connection ?

The V8 bootloader shows a green screen by default when it first boots instead of an Acer logo

i c... btw, just asking can i just wipe everything then flash new ROM ... or will it stuck on something ?

yep format data, system, cache
put the 3.1 full update. zip on ur micro sdcard and rename it to update.zip
enter twrp and choose install update.zip
this will take u back to hc 3.1
while you are there get yr cpuid youll need it for the next step
you can flash the v8 from here which will allow you to install any custom ics or jb rom....you must have the v8 to install these roms...
youll also be asked to choose a custom recovery with the v8 .....choose cwm 1.7.3
there are guides in my sig or
see civato's guide in the bootloader sticky
read all the guides before u do anything,
all the info you need is in them....
take your time and go thru each step as they are written...this is very, very important..

[Q] [BRICK][TWRP] LG G2 D-802 bricked & not seen from PC

Hi there, this is a big trouble.
My LG G2 (16GB, european format, I bought it in Italy) always work perfectly. I didn't mod anything til yesterday, just rooted and added superuser, and worked fine. I have the original stock firmware and original Android 4.4.0 Kit Kat.
Then yesterday I wanted to install the XCam, so before I install the TWRP recovery. Disaster: black, total black. From that moment, G2 doesn't work. And didn't go to recovery or download.
One of the last moves I did before the disaster: TWRP installing asked me the format of my mobile, "AT&T" or "international", and I chose the second one.
Anyway, after some attempts, I was succesful in restore a few modes. I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
With Ubuntu on the terminal of my friend, I followed the guide and now this is the current situation:
1) When I try to press power, it stucks at the logo
2) If I press power & vol -, appears the logo, then press these again and I go in sort of Hard Factory Reset, but it's not really true, cause I press 3 times power and I go in TWRP recovery
3) If i press vol + while I'm plugging mobile to PC, appears the "download mode" screen on mobile. But PC doesn't see it
(see the photos I attached)
Now my real problem is how to install and restore the original stock firmware. All this trouble happened not because of OTA or a mod, but just cause of installing a TWRP in bad way.
In the guide I linked above, it suggests to write some command strings in recovery but that doesn't work for me, I guess cause I don't have an OTA.
So I don't know how to insert a file to restore my firmware, because I don't have in my memory and, as you know, G2 doesn't have external memory.
I tried connecting a usb pen drive but doesn't see it in recovery.
I tried connecting in download mode to PC, using LG Flash Mobile and more, but doesn't work cause my PC seems unable to see the mobile.
I followed this guide hoping to modify the hosts file:

But didn't work. Also, I can't activate usb debug cause I can't enter in my mobile.
What can I do? Suggestions?

Help, please

borrow or buy a mini usb otg stick, put the flashable stock rom on it (for your variant), connect it to the device, enter twrp, install the rom zip from usb otg...
see in twrp under "mount" if it shows you "usb/otg" (don't know which twrp version you have so i assume it's the older 2.7.x.x one)
you can also search the xda on how to sideload a rom zip from a computer to a bricked or formatted device (i personally have mini usb otg stick so i never used sideloading)
good luck

You haven't attached any images of the download mode.
Downloade mode is:
1. power off your lg g2
2. hold volume up AND connect g2 to pc
Now..if there is an actual download mode with arrows then it's ok. If you see the blue circles only then you have to fix it.
This would be the next step then...

There is a way to fix it?
I already tried the tutorial with LG Flash Tool, but PC doesn't see my device

Install vmware and download slax. Install slax inside vmware. Connect it to PC and attach the qualcomm device. Then there is another tutorial for unbricking. Seek my posts inside

"Connect it to PC and attach the qualcolmm device"? What you mean? Just that I plug my device to PC?

I don't have Ubuntu, are you sure I can do that with Windows PC - and with no damage?
I already follow this tutorial (the first link in my first post). Now my computer can't see the device. Are you sure I can do this procedure anyway?

From your kdz, use kdz extractor.

I'm sincerely worried to damage my PC with VmWare and Slax. Can't I use Ubuntu?

You can use ubuntu. Neither of these will damage your pc

Should I also overwrite the openrecovery file with an updated TWRP recovery, in order to support USB OTG ?

Can't find kdz extractor, anyway

I have the same problem and i have try all the aboves the only way to unbrick it i think is only via adb because i have adb acces
sorry for my english, thanks advance.

refresh! same problem any help? : d
