No Custom Recovery for KitKat 4.4 - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just an FYI. I have an unlocked bootloader and had a good working version of TWRP 2.7.0.0 I planned to reinstall after I took the OTA. I get no errors when I flash it; however, when I try to enter recovery, I can only get into the new stock recovery..

By linking that particular recovery, does that mean TWRP does not work? Also can you please link the correct, fastboot flashable superuser as I can't seem to find mine and don't know if I can trust Google on this one. Thanks!

TWRP needs to be updated.
It's easier to flash SuperSU through recovery then to push it through ADB, but you must boot straight into recovery right after you flash it.
I dont know if you use fastboot or Mfastboot.
TYPE:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery "recovery-name".img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THEN TYPE:
Code:
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you press enter, hold volume up to enter recovery and flash SuperSU.

Thank you. I don't have mfastboot installed but fastboot worked fine. Now rooted and debloated!

Can you guys boot into custom recovery in Android 4.3?

Hey guys I was trying to boot into the latest CWM image to install superSU in the oficial android 4.3 image, however I got stock in the bootscreen, I tried manually typing the commands as always did and using a toolkit... Maybe is it broken?

This is my game plan as well....Make sure I have the latest TWRP and Super SU before I attempt to re-root.
EDIT: I forgot, I switched from the Super SU app to the superuser app from clockworkmod a while back.
TWRP updated to 2.6.0.0
Superuser already at 1.0.1.8
re-downloaded superuser.zip (unknown version)
Ready for the 4.3 OTA.

Can you upload the SuperSu zip file you used to root?
I have exactly the same problem. Before updating to 4.3 I've booted CWM and did a nand backup.
After updating I can't boot into CWM or TWRP to flash the root zip. I get a blank screen instead of the recovery menu.
I don't want to flash a recovery, just boot like thousands times before to flash the root.zip from chainfire that works.
Same problem : I get a blank screen when booting CWM
I can connect with adb, backlights turns off after some time, and on again if I press a key.
I can boot in the recovery after flashing it !
So booting a flashed recovery from the bootloader works, but booting it with "fastboot boot" don't...

Are you by any chance experiencing that high cpu usage which causes horrible battery drain?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Coming back to the subject of this thread, I was NOT able to boot into TWRP from fastboot using the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
the n4 was starting but I was just getting a black screen.
I had to flash the recovery to my nexus 4 with:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
and after that I was able to boot as usual to the recovery and install chainfire modified .zip to gain root in android 4.3
Any other is experiencing this problem with booting into recovery on N4 ?
On my nexus 7 I was able to boot as usual into the recovery, without flashing it
@bagl0312 How I wrote, I have exactly the same problem. I will going to flash twrp, flash root zip and flash back the stock recovery for now.
Never the less fastboot boot recovery.img does not work atm

Recovery won't flash

I had to do a complete wipe from the computer and flashed clockwork mod recovery. Since it was likely an old version I had the double 0 partition problem which I fixed by manually moving the files. I tried to update the recovery to twrp, but it won't flash using goomanager. It downloads and says it's flashed but it's not there.
I also seem to have a weird problem where I have to push the power button to get it to boot past the Google screen. If I don't push power it gets stuck there forever.
Any ideas?

Follow the sticky at the top that says flashing a factory ROM using fastboot/return to stock. Start from scratch, get it working, and then flash whatever you want.

This might be an odd question, but have you tried just updating CWM first, and THEN flashing TWRP? Sometimes the flash won't go smoothly with an older version of one recovery to a newer version of a different recovery- not sure why, but that's just been my experience. I would update CWM first then try flashing TWRP.
Also, if goo is not working for you, you could try Rom Manager to update CWM and then flash TWRP. It can flash either. (If you really want to flash via the device).
Otherwise, (me personally) I'd just use adb fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Hope that helps
Thanks I will try that.

No problem. Let us know how it works out for you.
Tried flashing with fastboot, now it won't boot into recovery, just hangs at the Google logo.
Still needs a bump from the power button to get it to boot normally.

Ahh, that sucks! How are you *attempting to* access recovery... via reboot menu, via adb, or via 3-button press? It shouldn't matter, but you could try all three methods to see if any way will give you recovery access. Then, if/when you manage to get in, you could reflash again straight from recovery. I'm going to do some digging to see if I can find a better solution. I KNOW I've read about the same issue before, I know there's a solution... I just have to find it again.
Worse comes to worse, you might have to reflash stock recovery then reflash custom recovery. Might be a corrupt recovery img, but I will check and try some things out and let you know what I find.
Edited to add:
Yes. there was a bug in the older bootloader that bypassed/refused access to recovery... so since you restored stock, you probably need to update your bootloader to at least to version 4.18 (via fastboot). THEN you should be able to access recovery. I can't add links, but I can give you a text link once I find just the IMG file instead of the full firmware. Honestly, I never do backups so I don't have the file on hand. However, I may do one backup at least so I can extract my boot img and give it to you.
OK, so I found the info I was looking for.
From Elsewhere:
Steps:
Install latest nexus 7 bootloader.
This fixes the boot loader bug and now you can enter recovery from the bootloader screen.
Update the bootloader to at least 3.18. Make sure NOT TO DELETE THE BOOTLOADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot emphasize this enough!!!!!!!!!!! I bricked my first one this way.
Use
fastboot flash bootloader C:\>>>>>>\bootloader-grouper-3.18.IMG***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do NOT erase bootloader before you flash the new one. And after you have flashed the new one type;
fastboot reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and check the bootloader version to make sure you succeeded.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
***Or whatever you name the boot img file!***
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19608328/boot.img.zip --> This is from MY Nexus 7. It's Bootloader version 4.23, and works with JB 4.2.2- it does NOT have the recovery access bug.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19608328/recovery.img.zip --> This is a copy of MY CWM, which I just updated to 6.0.3.6 yesterday.
I'd flash the bootloader, then flash your recovery of choice. Not being able to access recovery is a bootloader issue, not a recovery issue. The fact that you restored/reverted an older full firmware put you on an older bootloader that would not allow users to access recovery.
Try the new(er) bootloader, it should work. My device is a 16gb grouper Nexus 7 running 4.2.2. Before that, it ran 4.1.2 without any issues, so it should work to resolve the problem you're having.

Is it possible to have root without installing a custom recovery?

Hey everyone.
I want to root 4.3 but I dont want to install CWM or TWR or another custom recovery. I want to keep stock recovery so I can directly update from Google when 4.4 is released.
Is there any way I can root without having a custom recovery?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can root without flashing a custom recovery. The first step is to obtain root access. The next step of installing a custom recovery (i.e. CWM or TWRP) is to flash ROMs and Kernels. You can just stop at ROOT.
FYI - There are stock and very close to stock ROMs available. Once Android 4.4 is released by Goggle, it does not take long (1-2 days) before people have the 4.4 available for flashing especially for the stock or close to stock ROMs. The more customized ROMs may take a little longer to have Android 4.4 ported into their ROMs.

The command posted "fastboot boot boot.img" would boot your device once into a custom recovery without actually installing the recovery. From there, you can use the one-time booted recovery to install a root zip.
Yes.
I'm unlocked and rooted on the latest 4.3. N10 is so fast I don't feel the need for a custom rom at this present time.
N-Cry tool kit was the easiest I tried.

First you need to download the latest supersu. Then you need to download a custom recovery from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Place it on your C: drive.
Then go to fastboot and type:
Fastboot boot recovery C:/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Then select recovery with the volume buttons and press the power button.
In recovery flash the latest supersu you downloaded.
! Wipe cache and dalvik cache !
Reboot.
You're now rooted and still have the stock recovery.

If you need your stock recovery your already rooted and have a custom recovery in place. So therefore your device has an unlocked boot loader. Flashify can flash recovery IMG without even powering into recovery.

Yes you need custom recovery.
Just download the TWRP 3.0.M2-0 and flash it via adb by using this command in cmd window -
fastboot flash recovery <filename.img>
Whereas, the <filename.img> is the filename of your twrp recovery which you will download.
For example -
If you have downloaded the custom recovery with the filename "twrp 3.0.x.x" then you have to type the following code -
fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.0.x.x.img
After flashing the twrp, now reboot to recovery.
Once you are in recovery, go to install section and locate the zip file (your black YouTube zip file), select it and then swipe to flash.
After flashing, just reboot the system. That's it.

Yes you need custom recovery.
Just download the TWRP 3.0.M2-0 and flash it via adb by using this command in cmd window -
fastboot flash recovery <filename.img>
Whereas, the <filename.img> is the filename of your twrp recovery which you will download.
For example -
If you have downloaded the custom recovery with the filename "twrp 3.0.x.x" then you have to type the following code -
fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.0.x.x.img
After flashing the twrp, now reboot to recovery.
Once you are in recovery, go to install section and locate the zip file (your black YouTube zip file), select it and then swipe to flash.
After flashing, just reboot the system. That's it.

I forgot to say that I'm using KK v2.22.40.54
Can I install the TWRP 3.0.M2-0 in this version?
