To enter in recovery mode, use RomManager.

can't use ROM Manager to recovery too. WiFi can't connect and when it appear allow a superuser. a program become idle and didn't do anything

Sounds like a bad flash. I'd reflash modded stock v2, then boot to recovery and wipe user data/cache/dalvik and then reflash the full 8.1 ROM. This should make sure you have a working CWM and probably fix your wifi issue too.

NO! If you are using VC 3.2 you should avoid using the ROM manager provided recovery as it is for the wrong tablet (g tablet i think) and it WILL soft-brick your Vega.

I've soft bricked my vega using this exact method!
How do I unbrick please?

When you say "soft bricked", what exactly does the tab do when you turn it on??
Best way to recover is to power down tab, attach tab to computer with usb cable. Make sure tab is charged, or plugged in at the time. hold down the back button (top of tab, next to power button), then press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, then release it while you continue to hold the back button another 2 seconds, then release back button. Your screen should flash once quickly, then stay off.
Now, if everything worked, click on the Mod Stock icon on your computer. and after a little time it will start writing files to the tab. If it says device cant be found, you are not in recovery mode, try again the power/back button instructions, it may take a few times before you get tab into recovery.
There are more precise booting into recovery instructions if needed, just Google "rooting Advent tablet"
I'm assuming you already have the usb drivers, and the roms on your computer, and know how to use them.

This works offcourse, but I want to install VegaICE updates, which needs recovery acces in vegacomb (which is not possible for me).

I have exactly the same issue! I have Vegacomb and wanted to go to HoneyIce as my son can't get skype to work BUT i can't get into Recovery in order to update. Rom Manager just reboots and all i see is the 'Warning about free software' then it just boots into VegaRom.
Would love someone to help if possible?
Thanks in advance

If you formatted everything instead of just doing the 'wipe' options (ESPECIALLY the /system partition, formatted or wiped), its dead unless you can get into recovery and flash a ROM.

I dont know how to enter the cwm....

Hi,
you can reach the recovery, if you connect an USB Keyboard to the Ouya.
Power on the device and press ALT+Print(S-Abf). Then press the "i" key for a about few seconds, stop pressing it and repeat the precedure.
After 5-6 Times you should reach the recovery and you can sideload an Image.

what key is the print(s-abf) key? is that the print screen key with sys rg?
ediy: yes is the same key... but i guess you are german

yes, this should be the key.
I have a German Keyboard, so it is a bit tricky to guess the description

This thread did make me wonder though, does the OUYA have any fastboot-esque interface for extra-recovery repair options?

Yes, ADB reboot bootloader will take you into fastboot mode. You'll need to tell windows to use the ADB drivers again, but I was able to boot the CWM recovery image this way without flashing it.

[Q] LG G2 (rooted) bricked after OTA update

Hi guys,
i have a G2 D802 rooted with TWRP recovery. My brother did accidentily the OTA update. After that my LG had a bootloop TRWP.
Nothing was working, then suddenly it went black . No Screen, no battery light while charging, no recog from computer, no adb, nothing when i plug it onto the Computer. i searched tons of forums and threads , i used every method, but my phone does not do anything
Several threads are for phones with working ADB or anything working , mine isn't working at all .
What can i do ? i can't bring it to the LG shop because they told me it was rooted and rooted phones have no guarantee in our country.
Please folks does anybody had have the same problem ??

To Get ADB Working try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48361867&postcount=68
The OP of that thread and one additional (and similar) command found later in the thread fixed up my recovery bootloop.

Have you tried to get to power mode? Press Volume Up & and then plug in the usb cable (enter to a download mode). And flash back to stock.

turn your phone completely off: unplug it from the usb and hold down the power button for like 20sec. the phone should not be turning on or doing anything. then press and hold the power plus volume down. as soon as the lg logo pops up, let go of those 2 buttons and immediately press and hold power + volume down again. this should being up an all white screen with black letters. now press the power button 3 times til you get to "factory resetting". this should boot you into twrp. from there you can do whatever you want. this time do not take the OTA. hehe.
the drivers for your phone will be on lg's g2 site. make sure you've installed those with your phone unplugged from usb. if you have a previous driver installation, uninstall that. the lg drivers have the adb driver inside of it. also make sure you are using the most up to date adb.exe. if not then it may not be able to communicate with your phone. you can get that from android's sdk.

the hard reset writes the same text on the top corner.. i really dont know how to fix the problem i have allready posted a new thread but noone responded ;(

The fact that you see anything, is a good thing. Let battery completely die, and then plug into USB while booting to download mode. I had VERY similar issue and that's worked for me, then flashed to stock.
Sent from my g2 using xda app-developers app

With your phone on, and in recovery (twrp), plug it into your computer.
Open device manager.
Look for a disabled/uninstalled (marked with yellow) device that corresponds to tour device (in my case all it said was D800).
Choose properties/driver/update driver.
From here, you have to choose all the manual options ("let me choose the driver to install"), not automatic, .
Finally Windows should show you a list of device drivers compatible with your device.
choose the LGE (or androidnet) Single Sooner ADB ...
Let it install
Test your ADB interface (ADB Devices).

Sounds identical to the problem I had. It's like a REAL slow bootloop. If you catch it just right, can you get it to factory reset? And then from there, it just does the same thing?

Ooops.
I saw bootloop twrp.
I missed the black screen.
What do you get when you hold the power button for longer than 15 seconds (force shutdown), then power it back on (hold power for a few seconds, then release)?
If you have a fully non-booting device, warranty it, of course blame it on the update.

turn the phone completely off. unplug it from the usb/charger. while the phone is off, hold down volume up then plug in the usb/charger. you should automatically see download mode pop up. if that happens then you can return back to stock by googling howto's. if not then you will have to take it in.

no devices when you plug it into computer in that state?
Hopefully none of that text at the top of the screen mentions root or modified system.

Nvidia Shield Pro Stuck in bootloop

OK here is what happened. I am running zulu99 full android os. Worked great. I downloaded an app from the Google play store to change the dpi. After I made the change to the dpi settings the app ask me to OK a reboot. Now my Shield TV Pro is stuck on a bootloop and I cant get it into hardware recovery. Any ideas on how to enter recovery another way? I tried unplugging the shield plugged the power back in . Then I hold down the power button for 3 seconds let the power button go and press it down again for a second. I tried this many times and I just end up back in bootloop. Is there any other way to get into fastboot to flash back to stock ? Or do I now have a paper weight ?
Thank you

==========
HowTo Flash:
==========
Before flashing images from this build to your SHIELD, connect your SHIELD
via USB to the PC where you built this tree.
Next, put your SHIELD into fastboot mode using following method:
SW method:
Boot to android home screen
Connect the device to linux system
Open terminal(on linux)
Type "adb reboot bootloader" in terminal
HW method:
Disconnect power cable
Insert USB OTG cable and make sure to connect other end to a host PC
Connect power cable to SHIELD
Quickly start pressing power button for ~3 seconds
Do not hold the button and connect power supply afterwards
HDMI TV should be always connected to SHIELD
Alternative method:
Perform software shutdown on SHIELD by holding Power button for 10 seconds
Connect USB OTG cable to SHIELD
Start pressing power button for 3 seconds
HDMI TV should be always connected to SHIELD

I suggest you keep trying those methods. There's some issues with the current bootloader, so if you can't get it to work eventually you'll be stuck with having to rma it. If you get it working, I suggest you stop messing with it until after the next OTA, which is supposed to fix the bootloader issues.
Some of the issues are mentioned here, with a response from nvidia: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/893616/bootloader-issues

The HW method worked .
Thanks For the help !

Having some big problems - Need help please!!!!!

I got a replacement device from OP and I was unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. The guide i used had the incorrect patched boot image and everything went bad quick.
I can't go anywhere except fastboot now, can't boot to OS, no OS installed.
TWRP WAS booting from fastboot, I pushed the rom from there and flashed it...said no OS installed after, I installed it on both slots.
I can't get into EDL mode, the volume keys work...I think, but the second I let go of them when it's plugged in it defaults back to fastboot immediately. I tried the bat file that people use, says it worked, phone stays in fastboot.
I even tried holding the volume keys the entire time but the MSM tool wouldn't read it enough to flash anything, although it did read it enough to register some data, but was stuck on "waiting for device".
I am in need of some major help. Now I can't even temp boot to twrp, getting an error failed authorization. I'm afraid I really messed things up.
I have 5 days to send my old device back. Please help!

May be a longshot, but does the stock recovery work? Maybe try sideloading the full OTA zip from there?

For EDL mode, you need to hold the buttons then plug it in while continuing to hold the buttons. It won't work if the phone is already plugged into a usb port and then you try and get into EDL.
Really hard to brick a OnePlus device in my experience.

Recovery doesn't work. I was able to get to one of the steps to approve going into fastboot, advanced, reboot to fastboot, but not anymore.

I was doing just that. It seemed to work initially but after I plugged it in and released the buttons it went back to fastboot and disconnected from MSM.

Make sure MSM is ready keep vol up/down pressed, connect cable and immediately press Start in the tool. Have done it like this 3-4 times with my Pro

I am now booting into the OS and the stock recovery came back. So good news is the phone isn't bricked.
