Can't go into recovery mode?!? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I was following this post and managed to get to step 20 with no problems but when I try to reboot into TWRP it reboots, shows the ZTE logo for a few seconds and then the screen goes black and the LED turns red. I can turn my phone on by holding down the power button for 20 or so seconds and everything works fine. I thought maybe if I wiped my phone it would fix this so I went into settings > backup & reset > factory data reset and clicked factory reset. My phone then turned off, then back on and went to a black screen with the red LED again. I can turn on my phone but can't get into the stock or TWRP recovery mode. BTW this is all with the A2017G model running B10. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am having the same issue with the Australian variant of A2017G running B10 on Android v 6.0.1. I have searched XDA Forums and the web but not found any way to solve this problem. Your help will be appreciated.

What's the TWRP version ? 3.0.2.2 ?

Yes. I downloaded the tenfar file and renamed it recovery.img.

Not recovery.img, it's recovery.bin

This is what I did:-
7) Place the TWRP .img file in the same folder as "adb.exe" and "axon7tool.exe", rename it to "recovery.img"
8) Make a copy of the "recovery.img" file and name it "recovery.bin". Leave it in the same folder

Could you take a screenshot of your cmd after step 20?

Stuck on LG logo

Hi, today for the first time I tried to flash a custom rom
at the ROM installation guide it said that I must have TWRP 2.7, so I installed that and wiped Dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
Did not touch internal storage.
I rebooted because I felt kinda lost at the baseband part. but now it's stuck on the LG logo, with the LED light working with rainbow colors (like the phone always does when I turn it on, but it has no OS now..)
I tried getting into recovery/download mode with no success, what can I do now?
How can I get back into recovery mode?
Hope someone can help :fingers-crossed: Thanks!

make sure your phone is powered off entirely and then
How To Reboot Recovery - LG G2
1.Turn your phone off.
2.Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
3.Let go of both buttons
4.Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
5.Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
6.Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
If that doesn't work then you are going to have to go back to stock
I tried going back to stock but no success, the software is not recognizing the phone...
I also looked for videos on youtube, but couldn't find someone with simillar problem to mine.
Nevermind, figured it out.

If you don't mind. What did it for you? Once I install CWM or TWRP, I can boot to recovery by cannot get the system to boot - EVER - without getting stuck at the LG LOGO. The only way I can recover at that point is to use the LGFlashTool and start from scratch.
Thanks!

New/Stock Oneplus Two, unable to boot into recovery

Hey all, completely new to this forum and my Oneplus Two that I've had for a little over two weeks.
I recently got a OTA update for Oxygen 2.2.0 but I can't seem to install it. Everytime I download it and click the "install" option, the phone reboots (probably to go to recovery) but after a very brief splash screen and a vibration, it vibrates again and displays the standard boot splash screen, boots into the OS and offers me to download the update again.
I've done a little troubleshooting in the past two-three days and from what I understand, the phone doesn't seem to be able to boot into recovery or fastboot. I've enabled the advanced options in the "reboot" menu and when selecting "recovery" the phone reboots and does the same behavior described above. I tried powering off the phone and booting with the volume up button pressed (while pressing power) and the phone boots and displays a "Fastboot Mode" splash screen but it seems to hang there forever until I actually shut it off again and power it back on. Also, I've tried booting it into recovery from ADB, connected to my PC and I get the same behavior: brief splash screen with a vibrate and then the phone seems to reboot again normally.
I haven't tampered with the phone yet, it is brand new out of the box, not rooted and nothing other than simply installing a few games, Nova Launcher, changing the wallpaper and using it as you would normally use your phone.
Anyone has an idea how I could actually get the Recovery functioning on this phone?
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help!

That is the norm for fastboot, it doesn't go past that screen.
It may not make a difference, did you try to boot to recovery via Power+Volume Down buttons?
Greetings Khaos64,
Yes, I've tried booting with Vol-Down+Power but the phone does not start.
With volume-up+power, I get the Fastboot splash screen but the phone does not respond to any input.
I tried selecting "bootloader" from the reboot menu but I get the same thing: Reboots and after a second, the phone reboots again normaly and into OxygenOS.
Is there a way to verify if the bootloader or recovery is corrupt and maybe reflash the stock recovery onto the phone?
Thanks for your input!
You may just want to go straight to oneplus support since everything is stock and only 2 weeks they should be able to get you updated or replace it.
If you'd like to be more hands on... maybe something below can help.
So your phone isn't recognized/no commands acceptred from your computer when booted to fastboot?
Such as unlocking your bootloader and booting into twrp... "fastboot boot yourfilename.img" or maybe flashing it.
Make sure OEM unlocking is selected in Developer options.
If you can't do that then this may not work but is worth a shot.

I did try to contact Oneplus for support but I am not the one who purchased the phone. Long story short, it was a gift from my girlfriend that she bought off of someone. The phone was new in box and was a warranty replacement. I would have to contact the seller and go trough him for support unfortunately.
Thanks for the different suggestions!, I will fiddle around with it this afternoon while the kids are having their mid-day nap and I'll get back with the results
Thanks again for the help, it's greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I eventually started fiddling around with fasboot and tried unlocking the bootloader. This sent the phone into a bootloop where it would try to boot into recovery and reboot right away.
I found an article on how to restore the phone to Oxygen 2.1.1. It would wipe user data but I did it anyway and it actually did restore the phone and now I have a worling recovery.
Here is a link to the guide I used:

I am using stock recovery,unrooted phone,OOS 3.0.2

Stuck in recovery with black screen, can't enter fastboot

I followed this guide in order to root my brand new p8lite.
The thing is that now I have a black screen. If I plug my phone via usb, adb shows me that the device is in recovery.
By adb shows me that the device is in recovery I mean this:
Code:
# adb devices
List of devices attached
W3D7N16712000718 recovery
What I did:
Checked the model. It's an ALE-L21
Chapter 1: not a windows user, but managed to get adb up and running on my linux machine.
Chapter 2: everything went fine, bootloader unlocked
Chapter 3: my phone booted up just fine
Chapter 4: skipped it, as my phone was booting fine into system
Chapter 5:
So you want to convert to a single/dual sim?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My answer: "no thanks", so I skipped it
Chapter 6: I did the upgrade through OTA BEFORE reading the guide. Double checked I was running 6.0, so I skipped it
Chapter 7: Downloaded the file, flashed trought fastboot. And now I'm here.
I think I may have ****ed up things in the last 3 chapters.
What I tried to fix this:
Code:
# adb reboot bootloader
phone rebooted then huawei logo then blackscreen. adb still shows it's in recovery
After searching in the forum, I came by
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
(notice the hypen). Firing that command put my phone into fastboot. Couldn't believe it, but I took the chance to flash the files found in chapter 4 (bootloader, recovery, cust and system, in this order). No luck, still reboot, logo, black screen
Now, no matter the presence of the hypen in the command, my phone keeps going into recovery (after the usual reboot, logo, black screen)
Tried to hold down POWER to shut it down. After a while it reboots, logo and black screen again. Laptop keeps saying device is into recovery
Tried to download the official 6.0 update, put on a sd card (dload/UPDATE.APP), held down POWER+VOLUP+VOLDOWN. Again, reboot, logo, black screen. recovery mode, again.
Frustrated, I unplugged the phone. After a while, it rebooted, logo and blackscreen without me touching it. Weird. It did it again a couple of times, but now it has stopped (with a black screen and, if plugged in, adb. says is into recovery)
I really don't know what to do, please help me.
UPDATE:
After leaving a night on its own, the phone was noticeably hot.
Also, when unplugged, if I hold POWER it shows me the logo a couple of time before going black screen.
Ok. But can you enter in recovery?
Another question: you said that u flashed the necessary files. What about flashing directly twrp as recovery, and from twrp make all wipes, and afther that flash from twrp some zip-ped firmwares?

Apparently yes (or at least, adb says I'm into recovery). However, I just get a black screen.
Tapping randomly on the screen doesn't give any kind of feedback (no vibration, no beeps, nothing).

Since I started having those problems after I flashed TWRP, I thought it was a better idea to flash stock recovery (alongside bootloader, cust and system) and restart from there.
I have the same issue...

Huawei P8 lites are region specific like Middle east asia america etc so before you go in make sure you know your build number in my case ALE-L21C185B560 its the UAE variant now if you've messed go to the huawei website download the rom specific to your region any other region won't work!!! get a clean sd card extract the file and copy it to the root of the sd card its normally an update.app inside a folder named dload shutdown the phone now press vol+ and vol - and the power button till it starts installing.. If you've messed up your recovery and can get to fastboot by plugging in the phone then pressing vol down and power.. use the Huawei extractor tool and extract the recovery from the just downloaded rom and flash it.. then retry the restore as stated.. im sure you can google all the tools you need to get so im not putting any links !!! Ahsante !:good::good::good:

brick problem, noob here, plz help

my problem is kind of abnormal. i couldnt find solution anywhere so i came here. my device was zenfone 5(t00f)/lollipop.
so i wanted to root my phone. i followed this guide >>
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/zenfonetoolkit3-24-40-87-t3406557
the tool i used is called ZenfoneToolkit_20160719, downloaded from here
HTML:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0AFmAAcGS5xbWpTQzBQVTN3b1k
. its a bundle of .exe, .dll, .img, .bin files. but no need to work on them seperately, there is a simple cli tool from which you can choose what you want to do and it executes that file for you. below is the list what you can do.
1. Wipe Cache
2. Factory Reset
3. Flash Boot
4. Flash Recovery
5. Flash Fastboot
6. Flash Stock ROM
7. Root
8. Unroot
9. Unlock Bootloader
10. Relock Bootloader
11. Zenfone Rescue aka Debrick
12. Fixing Generic IMEI 004999010640000
13. Backup MicroSD
14. Flash Boretz Kernel Lollipop
so wiped cache[1] first then i tried to root[7]. sadly it didnt work, when i turned the phone on it took me to fastboot screen, there i had only a few options like, normal boot(doesnt happen), recovery mode, restart. when i turned it off and pressed power and volume up together it would go to recovery where none of the options works. i though that was what called brick, so followed this guide to make my life better

.
my phone by default came with kitkat. so when i downloaded the firmware i wanted to get a kitkat. but i couldnt find a matching recovery img and firmware for kitkat on asus official page. so i downloaded jellybean. ASUS ZenFone 5(T00F/T00J) software Image: V1.18.40.9 ww for firmware from here
HTML:
https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/2/96nqlxHp1VKV4Rdz/32/
. and recovery img is 1.18.40.9_ww_recovery.img from here
HTML:
https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/644D9E0A19714899974C75FC4B6C87EDY
. i dont know what "ww" means in those name but i saw it in my software version before so i went with it.
All the steps went smoothly, by the end of it i guessed my phone charge would be low so i put it in charge and turned it on. first time it turn on without a problem. i checked out a few things and leave it for charge. after a while i came back and battery was 0%. i thought i would be wise to plug out and in charging port again. as soon as i pull out the pin, screen instantly turned black and the phone went dead after a looooong ass vibration.
now when i try to charge the orenge light at top lights up but the animation that shows battery always show its empty. if i try to turn it on while plugged, it shows asus logo/intel logo and goes dead again. if i try to turn it on without being plugged, it shows a battery logo with a question mark, which i think means the phone cannot find battery.
i am stuck here.... plz someone be my savior.
Hello my dear, to get out of this problem I did the following: I connected the phone to compuador by USB cable (with himself off), then he calls and gets the question symbol, it held the power button plus volume up he must restart to get the logo asus about 4 seconds after loose the power button and continue with the volume button up insured. It should enter into fastboot mode there do the necessary procedures to reflash the system.
I hope you helped, hug!
