So is fastboot the problem or are you trying to boot to recovery through the bootloader. I would use ADB instead of fastboot. But if what you're asking is that you want to boot to recovery from the bootloader, just connect your USB cable to your computer and then select recovery in the bootloader.

Pretty sure it is fastboot... You use the volume rocker to select recovery and hit the power button... It shows the Bootscreen but doesn't go any further than that.
Edit: it says in red FASTBOOT MODE.. When i select recovery it goes tot he google screen (witht he unlock icon) and doesn't go any further than that.

I'm having trouble too. I have it plugged in to my laptop. When I select "Recovery" and press Power, it just reboots, and then boots into Android.
No recovery.
So I'm gonna try TWRP..

i had the same issue this is what i did
download new recovery h**p://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/grouper/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.4-grouper.img
then in fastboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
wait 15 seconds
unplug usb cable
then use volume keys to boot in to recovery
hope this helps

so any solution at the same screen, same problem.

You want to be in the bootloader mode and select recovery. The trick is that to do that, you have to have your Asus USB cable connected to a live usb port when you do it, and it usually works if recovery isn't damaged.
And you can also use Wug's toolkit on the computer, or if you can boot the tablet, you can use goo manager to reboot to recovery, or the Trinity kernel app, or your rom's advanced power menu.

With the USB cable attached from the computer to tablet, here's what I did:
- Went to bootloader
- Did "fastboot erase recovery"
- Did "fastboot flash recovery IMG"
- Then boot to recovery manually from the device itself via volume buttons and Power
Hasn't failed me yet when trying out different recoveries. There was some issue a while back where you had to have the USB cable hooked to your computer and Nexus 7 in order to get to recovery. Not sure if the bug still exists, but it may be worth trying with the cable in.
Also you probably have to have an unlocked bootloader (lock at bottom of Google boot screen).

Thanks for that.
That worked for me

Does the USB port you're plugged into need to be a computer with the fastboot drivers already installed? My unit freezes up in bootloader every time I plug in any live USB cable, whether it's a computer or not. My recovery is fine, but with the bootloader constantly freezing I'm not able to install the N7 drivers on my computer, let alone input any fastboot commands. And no, I don't have access to the computer with the drivers already installed sadly.

a stupid bug.buoght yesterday,rooted and unlocked.downloaded 10 roms,all kernels,and now that i'm ok to begin test i tried without luck to enter recovery from fastboot (i didn't know this fact)but my cable was inserted on pc usb port...and strange it doesn't work.yestrerday via fastboot i flashed twrp recovery that i love and use also on mine gnexs.i'm on stock rom yet,and without "reboot to recovery" option in powermenu.i reflashed twrp,cwm touch (in fastboot manually)then the same but with a rootkit,no luck.i began to think i have a problem in my device and i don't know how to do because it's a secondary bug for assistance i think..and i read this post.don't even tried commands in few posts ago,already did same things an hour ago.i installed quickboot frm playstore and now i can boot on TWRP.use this for today,when i begin to test roms i'll have the powermenu option!
Sad this,i'm a bit anxious of this bug,because i soft brick gnex every 2\3 days,always trying things and stuff,kernel with modifications by me etc,and i often have to go in cwm via devices off and fastboot before...i see that my tab attacched at pc don't enter recovery from fastboot mode..and it's a problem for me.hope someone discover where is this bug and find a workaround\fix fro that.

Paragraphs dude? Or at the very least, proper spacing.
On stock rooted rom, flash latest TWRP recovery. openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-grouper.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-grouper.img
Then install Rom Toolbox. Use the "Rebooter" to Reboot recovery, and you should have no issues.

I did this and I still can't boot into recovery. The only way I can boot into recovery is if I use the fastboot command. The rom toolbox does not work for me.

similar problem
I have somewhat similar problem. Well, actually the problem is not very uncommon the way it looks, but usual solutions do not work.
Basically I have erased my old rom (rebooted to recovery from aokp menu) and erased my rom. I've tried mounting the device from the recovery mode, but it was not recognised on my PC. I assumed that this was an Win8 issue.
Once I've rebooted, I could no logger boot to recovery (after selecting recovery all I got was google logo). I've thought of flashing recovery via fastboot, but bootloader seams to freeze with usb cable in (no matter the cable) and resetting does not help (the way it helped others). Also I cannot fastboot at that time either as PC (neither win8 nor win7 machine can see the device).
Any ideas would be appreciated.

When the bootloader freezes with the usb cable plugged into a PC, it is a driver issue. Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I have experienced this on a win7 x64 system.

It isn't a driver issue as the same thing happens when connecting to a charger and not the PC.

It happens on mine as well.

Well it wouldn't crash with wall charger if it was a PC driver issue.
In either case, I've actually figured out what's the problem. It seems that usb connector is not very reliable. If the it usb connection is poor, the bootloader crashes. To avoid this issue you have to bend the cable towards the screen to ensure the proper connection. It load that way just fine.
Edit: or not... probably bending just removed the connection completely...
Edit2: did not figure out what was the problem, but after playing around some more, the phone has popped up in computer manager and I was able to continue from there. After flashing the recovery (twm -> cwm), the bootloader un-froze as well.

N7 stuck at loading screen, fastboot doesn't work, recovery mode doesn't boot.

I was running ParanoidAndroid perfectly until it crashed and not it gets stuck at the loading screen of the ROM (not the Google logo). I'm able to turn it off and get into Bootloader. From there if I choose Recovery mode, it gets stuck at Google logo.
If I plug it into the PC while in booatloader, it gets detected as "Android" but no driver (I'm sure I installed it before with the Toolkit). Toolkit just won't detect the device anymore, keeps getting stuck at the <waiting for device> command.
If I plug it into the PC while stuck at the ParanoidAndroid loading screen, I see MTP and Nexus in Device Manager but w/o drivers.
What can I do now? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.

Bump.

Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader? Try this(assuming Windows):
-copy your recovery image of choice to your fastboot folder on your PC.
-boot to the bootloader with usb connected.
-open cmd window and navigate to fastboot folder
-type: fastboot boot insertrecoverynamehere.img
It should boot into the recovery from there. Make sure it's the same recovery you used for your latest backup.
Edit: I just read the subject line saying fastboot didn't work. Odd that it would just stop working from the bootloader like that. Have you tried manually updating the driver? Or maybe adb when it recognizes the device as MTP?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I figured out the problem. I'm such a dumbass. I forgot that last time I did this on a friend's computer. Apparently, the toolkit doesn't work properly on Windows 8 64-bit... (at least not on mine). I plugged it into a friend's laptop running W7 and was able to flash recovery again. Smooth sailing from there. Wonder what corrupted recovery.

I've never been able to cold boot my recovery - only through the goomanager app(for TWRP). I believe it's a known bug. I can only boot recovery from the bootloader when my N7 is plugged into my laptop via usb. Power or another laptop don't count. Oddly enough, It also works if I plug it into my Galaxy Nexus via USB+OTG.

Hm, perhaps that was the problem? But I was able to cold boot into recovery after reflashing TWRP... Anyhow, I'm glad I didn't have to restore a recovery image as I haven't made a backup since the last PA update

It worked for me only once after reflashing the recovery. Never again after that. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but until then, I carry my USB cables with me if I'm flashing new roms

[Q] Boot doesn't go beyond rotating circles. Help!!

I tried to search, but in vain.
Hardware: Nexus 4
Software : Android 4.4.4
For reasons that are not clear to me the machine restarted and is stuck in those 4 rotating circles, and doesnt go beyond it. Tried multiple things such rebooting, rebooting into recovery and booting again, tried adb to see if it can see the machine in recovery mode, but to no avail.
Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Did you do anything, flash anything to get the boot loop? Boot loop can usually be cleared by doing a factory reset. But you'll have to reset up your phone afterwards

This is a stock android and have no changes whatsoever except automatic update to 4.4.4. Only thing that is different is it is unlocked.
For last one week the phone kept complaining that it was unable to back up photos and videos. So I kept the wifi on over the night, and next morning I saw what i thought was it was trying to reboot but unable to do.
Is it possible to connect to machine while it is in recovery mode? My ADB can't discover the device either in recovery mode or while it is trying to boot. Is there a way to press some button and hard reset it?

I can get into bootloader - if you mean by pressing down volume button and powering on - so you see a few options such as 'Start', 'Restart Bootloader' et al.'
If I can get into this, what option do I have? How I can I some custom recovery such as TWRP?
Also, I saw a youtube video where a gentleman shows how to completely reset from Recovery mode (hold power button and press up volume key), but that doesn't seem to work for me.

Yes, that's the bootloader. Google 15 second adb install xda and install that. Then download the latest version of this http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako
Rename it recovery and put it in the same directory as fastboot.exe which will be installed with the 15 second adb install
Open a Windows command prompt in the same directory as fastboot and then with your phone connected to the pc and in the bootloader type the command in the command window
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This will instal twrp to your phone

My Biggest concern right now is not TWRP. I need to somehow get the machine to boot. It is stuck in those 4 circling things, and I need to somehow get the OS to work (or re-install if needed).
I am able to get to recovery where I see options to 'apply aupdate from ADB,' 'wipe data' and 'wipe partition'. I have wiped off everything, now I need to somehow get OS to install, and I don't know how. I tried using 'adb sideload 'image-occam-ktu84l.zip', but it fails.That file was extracted from occam-ktu84l-factory-0d3fd624.tgz from Android site.
Update: Great, now TWRP is installed. What next? I don't want CM at this point. Just stock Os. How do I get on to the machine?

I installed both TWRP and CWM alternatively, installed factory images using flash-all.bat, install CM11. But in both cases, 1. factory image : The system get stuck in boot mode where those 4 circles keep rotating around each other, 2. In CM11, the arrow keep rotating indefinitely.
I don't know what else I can do.
Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
I am beginning to suspect hardware malfunction. In which case, is there a log somehow I can see?
As an Aside: 1. Adb refuses to see the device in fastboot mode. Not sure if this is an expected behavior. Fastboot can.
2. Stock Android USB Drivers never work. I had to get the WugFresh Development drivers.
This is Windows 8 environment.

Yes, after locking (fastboot oem lock), bootloader the status says locked and I no longer see that unlocked icon when booting.
- At the moment I have CWM, and I see advanced options to format different folders which I have already done. But what I am not able to do is to use adb to copy the image-occam-ktu84l.zip to sdcard. Only way I have been able to install any zip is using sideload. Is that normal? I wonder if I am following right steps to begin with.
- Also, are there tools that can run and check if emmc has no bad sectors etc?
- In CWM I formatted whole log of folders, and now when CWM boots, it can't find /cache/recovery/* files. Which I take as a good sign - since old stuff is now gone. From here I don't know how to proceed. Any help - very thanful.

I can sideload from adb. (adb sideload <filename>.zip while CMW is waiting for abd sideload). But can't push since adb doesn't recognize the device while in fastboot - the way fastboot can.

You have to be in recovery to run adb commands. The bootloader is only for fastboot commands. Try pushing while you're in recovery, not the bootloader.

Phones in a bit of a state

Hey guys,
Yesterday I tried, after a few months of not modding my phone, to update my recovery as i was running a very old version of TWRP. Long story short I did something wrong somewhere and my phone has ended up in a bit of a weird state.
At the moment the OS is BlissRom, however it fails to boot. The loading screen runs very slowly and never actually boots the OS. The current recovery is the stock recovery.
The thing that is giving me an issue is the fact that somehow the bootloader has locked, so I am unable to flash a new OS onto my phone. I'm not able to flash anything onto my phone as it throws an error telling me the phone is locked.
Overall I aren't able to boot into the OS, however I have access to the stock recovery and fastboot. Unfortunately it looks as though the bootloader has locked some how.
Any ideas how I can fix this, or have I completely messed my phone up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
U said u were running twrp before which means u have unlocked bootloader and flash roms already.
How did u end up with stock recovery?
Also is it phone being detected bycur PC?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk

I believe it was a result of running the QualComm restoration tool. I ran this and it didn't look as though it did anything however after i rebooted into recovery I found it was stock.
I'm not sure if using this tool also re locked the bootloader however as it appears to be locked and I cant flash anything in fastboot mode.

Indeed I have, I get an error saying "phone is locked".
I think the resolution will be running the restoration tool fully but i cant seem to get it to do anything. It just sits there with no progress bars appearing.
Have you ever had any experience with this tool?

No I never used recovery tools.
Can u at any point let's say u boot into recovery and connect the device to PC, will it detected the internal storage?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk

Unfortunately not, if I boot the OS it gets stuck at the loading animation, it isn't a bootloop oddly enough.
Booting in recovery the PC doesn't detect the internal storage, however if I choose "Update from USB" I can see that ADB detects my phone in sideload mode.
Much like in fastboot mode I can see my PC detects my phone in fastboot mode.
I do have some OS zips on the internal storage which I have tried flashing in stock recovery, however these always result in "Install failed" errors.

Dude i think you have to use recovery tool now
Here is the link first read carefully https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/

Thanks for the link buddy.
I've gone through this thread, I think the issue preventing this from working for me is the fact that although I have installed the relevant drivers, when I plug my phone into my PC the drivers assigned to it are "Android Bootloader Interface". When I try to target another driver, using the Update driver functionality it just refuses to change, saying the driver already assigned is the newer one.
Any ideas how I can get around this? I know ideally it should appear as Qualcomm 9008. I've tried all the methods in the "How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008" section without any success.

Booting in recovery the PC doesn't detect the internal storage, however if I choose "Update from USB" I can see that ADB detects my phone in sideload mode.
Much like in fastboot mode I can see my PC detects my phone in fastboot mode.
I do have some OS zips on the internal storage which I have tried flashing in stock recovery, however these always result in "Install failed" errors.

Here's what to do...
U will need to sideload the stock rom which can be downloaded from here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.o...4_OTA_020_all_1608262242_44a55e674a2b4bf6.zip
-Place the zip in ur adb folder and rename it to update.zip.
-Connect the Oneplus2 to the PC with USB cable and open a command prompt or terminal on your PC. To do this open the ADB folder press shift + right click and click on open command here.
-Reboot to recovery and select install from usb.
-Flash the OxygenOS on OnePlus 2 by typing:
adb sideload update.zip
-Now the update will start and this will take some time.
Hope it helped[emoji106]

Hey dude, thanks for the help! So I went through these steps and it actually appeared to sideload and update properly.
However now it looks as though my phone is stuck at the one+ logo when I go to boot the OS.

Nexus 7 2012 WiFi Hard Bricked or Soft Bricked?

Hello everyone, I would need to understand if my Nexus 7 2012 WiFi is definitely Hard Bricked or not.
The other day I installed Slimkat ROM and had the error 7 during installation...
I like it better: In Nexus it's root and it unlock with the Recovery CWM, which start with the sequence of Volume Down- Power On keys. I have done the wrong not to do before installing a backup with the Recovery CWM and now I am in the situation of having the Nexus that normally light up on the Google logo and if I start shooting, it is not copied on the sdcard the right ROM, unable to install anything. I seem to have read that I had installed the TWPR Recovery instead of an external USB with an OTG cable, which is impossible with the CWM.
This is my question: Is there any way to copy files to the SDCard? If I don't see the Nexus in ADB, can I install TWRP Recovery up the CWM? (for use the USB/OTG performance)
Thanks for the help and congratulations for the forum ...

Hard to understand you actually... but boot to bootloader and fastboot flash the TWRP, use MTP to copy over what you need to flash and go ahead, in case you never used fastboot check Google there're plenty of guides out there, good luck...

Thank you so much for your answer. But I installed CWM Recovery and I can not access to Nexus in fastboot or adb, so I can not install the Recovery TWRP. I've tried both with MAC OSX and Windows, but the Nexus is not seen by the system. Exist an alternative method for flashing the recovery TWRP without using fastboot or adb?

Bootloader is not Recovery nore ADB, it's independent from those!
Boot up by holding power & volume down till you have the bootloader screen (picture attached), if you see it plug it in your (windows) computer and check "fastboot devices", there then fastboot flash TWRP image...

Have you another device at hand to check weather fastboot is working with a different device, just to make sure that your fastboot environment is working properly...

Yes, with another Nexus 7, if I connect it to pc, the device is show in section device list of pc. I think the problem is that this Bricked Nexus in fastboot not start the usb driver...
