you probably originally flashed your recovery in a root toolbox, no? if you did, you didn't flash it, you booted it. that's different. the android laying there, IS the stock recovery. all you need to do is flash your recovery via fastboot or by using the flashify app from your phone to flash it.
to flash a recovery via fastboot..
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
to boot(not flash) a recovery..
fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img

maybe you are right for the toolbox,i have no memories for that.which 1 is more safety?can you post some links or more info for to how...

safest is doing it the right way. and once its learned, its easier tgan a toolkit. but for booting or fladhing it doesnt mattter. if you flash it, it replaces the stock bootloader, so yoh can always go into a custom recovery at any time. booting it is only for a one time use. after you boot up, your stock recovery is back. and youd have to boot it evety time youd want to flash something, but you keep stock recovery.

[Q] bricked g2 upon custom rec overy

ok so i wanted to flash clockwork 3.0 but i was still running cm 6.1.1 and now i am stuck at the htc boot screen. i also cant get into recovery please i am begging for help.
please someone i really need help i obviously cant use my warranty obviously so please help me restore this or just get it back to working without a root anything
Dont worry pal.
OK,... AFAIK...... If you have flashed ClockworkRecovery 3, the only ROMs that will work are the 2.3 ROMs,... If you are trying to boot up a 2.2 ROM, it is likely to bootloop.
So boot back into recovery, full wipes, then flash a 2.3 ROM,... If that is what you were planning to do.
If you want to keep your 2.2 ROM on,... flash back to an older Clockwork Recovery,... then try to boot? If you get boot loops, try wiping cache and try again. If it still fails I would just do a fresh flash of your ROM again,... Remember full wipes 1st.

Can you boot into Hboot screen (phone off then volume-down + power)? If yes try to select recovery from the Hboot screen, it should reboot into recovery, if it doesn't and something is wrong with your recovery, Do you have an Eng. Hboot? , if yes do you have Andriod SDK set up and fastboot? If yes, boot into Hboot, select fastboot from the options, then plug in your usb. Once your device is recognized by fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
should return a serial number + "fastboot"
then reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( you can download it from here:http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html then place the ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( make sure its named recovery.img) into the tools folder in AndriodSDk where Fastboot is located, then run the command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
once rebooted your probably gonna be stuck at the HTC screen again, pull the battery, then Volume-down+ power back into Hboot, then select recovery from Hboot screen and it sholud reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, then reflash the rom of your choice.
thanks but i already fixed it by pressing sim lock and i have no idea why that worked and i should probably set up adb now right?

[Q] Nexus Q Recovery and Cyanogen Help

So, I got my Q unlocked, etc.
I am trying to boot into recovery mode, after I installed it via fastboot.
Every time I try and boot into recovery, CMD just sits there with "waiting on device" and never goes further.
Any ideas on what I should do?

when you boot into recovery does the q flash? when you spin it do you get google colors?
I have this sneaking that the q will automatically flash stock recovery back somehow. so the only way to really boot into recovery is "fastboot boot recovery.img"

I spent the better part of 5 hours fighting with it.
Something I learned, is that after flashing the recovery onto the q, restart the q and whatever shell you are using and go through the process of putting it into bootloader mode and then tell fastboot to boot into recovery. Every time I tried to boot into recovery after flashing it, it would never give me a screen.
Now I just need to get an otg cable so I can actually navigate...

help! not sure if i hard bricked my phone

Hi everyone i flashed kings marshmallow hydrogen os but i didnt like it so i reverted back to my blisspop via nandroid backup. Unfortunately I am know stuck at the oneplus boot screen with the oneplus logo in the middle and the powered by android logo at the bottom. I am unable to boot into twrp. I was able to boot into fastboot mode and managed to flash twrp recovery however the phone will not load into recovery and goes to the oneplus boot screen. I think i softbriked or hard bricked phone because i went from kings hydrogen os which is marshamllow based to my nandroid backup which is blisspop 5.1. IDK what to do know
Bottom line i can boot into fastboot mode. device manager on my pc recognizes phone as android device- marshall london bootlooder interface any suggestions?
If you can Boot to Fastboot you have a softbrick. Somewhere around here is a thread for the recovery tool with the qualcom drivers. Read carefully and maybe give it a try.

i did flash via fasboot after i flash it says sending recovery (okay) writing recovery (okay) than i reboot but. but when i try to reboot into recovery it does not reboot into RECOVERY it justs stuck at one plust boot screen.
Stucking 1+ logo is because having unsupported recovery from system... After you did restore did you got any error...
Get both recoveries and try command
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
One of them has to boot. Youre doing something wrong

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

Are you sure you still have TWRP installed? "No command" and the little green robot laying down is the stock recovery.
What are you trying to use flashify to do?
I've only used flashify to flash recovery and boot images, and that was on Samsung stuff where I didn't want to mess with Odin in the days before TWRP could flash images.
Fastboot would be a safe option for recovery or boot image flashing on this phone. Also, TWRP can flash boot and recovery images directly now too. Just pick Install -> Image and make sure you pick the right option for boot or recovery. Not much call for flashify now that TWRP can install images.
You could go full cowboy and flash stuff with dd and adb shell, but I wouldn't recommend it. You're one typo from disaster that way.
I'm with @jason2678 and it appears you don't have TWRP installed anymore, the "android on it's back" is a from stock recovery. You need to reflash TWRP as Flashify requires TWRP (or other custom recovery) to work properly.
Download the latest TWRP, flash it in fastboot, and try flashify again... or just flash whatever you were trying to use Flashify for in fastboot/TWRP directly.
