Went to boot into recovery and the damn thing is stuck. I can move around up and down with the volume buttons but i cannot press enter with the power button. shutting it off only reboots the tablet and goes back into recovery. any ideas?

Can you get to the bootloader screen so you can use fastboot? If so try flashing the TWRP recovery, it's a great recovery.

I can press the power button and both volumes and it gets me to download mode... from there, every option i try just gets me back to recovery. when i press start, it sends me to recovery. when i press shut down and then turn it on - recovery. when i press restart bootloader, it still takes me to recovery afterwards. wtf happened here man? never seen this before.

If you can at least get to download/fastboot mode, either get the stock recovery.img file or extract the recovery.img file from a custom_recover.zip, such as CMW or TWRP and place it in the directory where you have the fastboot util on your Windows PC, plug in the device into your Windows PC. Then type the folowing in a Windows Command prompt(without the quotes): "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Once that finishes then try rebooting back to recovery.
If you that doesn't work you may have a damaged bootloader, you can try extracting the bootloader(bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img) from the stock ROM and flashing it with the following command: "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img" then you can type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to reboot directly to the bootloader.

This happened to me yesterday.
Step 1 - hold down the power+volume up+volume down
Step 2 - plug up USB cable and use fastboot to flash the "touch" recovery version. Usebthe method as before, you might need to point your machine to the "naked driver" in dev section to get windows to see the fastboot device driver.
Step 3 - once you are in touch recovery you can just use the touchscreen instead of power button

You can just "adb reboot" from any computer with working adb and drivers.
This needs to not be flashed by default from Rom Manager until they get it taken care of. Twrp and cwm touch work just fine.

Seriously. Can we please sticky a thread or something that says CWM isn't stable on the nexus 10 yet. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.

I had the same issue get rid of crappy cwm and flash twrp, flash it by downloading the 1.3 nexus 10 rootkit selecting option 6 i believe with your n10 connected to your pc, it will fix your issue

I was able to fix it by re-flashing CW touch. thanks guys!

twrp problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my device. My device has root (check by rootchecker) an the twrp manager says that the twrp recovery is installed but I can not go into the recovery. If I hold the buttons volume up and power I just come into the fastboot mode.
The problem starts as I start an update by ota.
Can anybody give me a solution?
Thank you.

to enter in trwp recovery, is vol down + power.

Turn off the phone. Press vol down and power together till you see anything on the screen and let only power go pressing the vol down further.

You could re-flash TWRP.
1. Boot phone into fastboot mode (volume-up+power button)
2. Connect to PC (make sure drivers and fastboot are installed)
3. If you havn't already download the appropiate version of TWRP.
4. Navigate to the TWRP file and rename it recovery.img then open a command prompt there
5. Type fastboot device to make sure your device is recognized then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes then boot into recovery by typing "fastboot boot recovery.img" also without quotes

Thank you for your help, but it was a brick. I found a solution on YouTube and on this site. Greetings

Unbrick via Lollipop Recovery (Fastboot is dead)

So, I have a ZenFone 5 (A500CG) WW running on a stock-based custom Lollipop ROM (Recreated Remix-Leopard). In an attempt to return to KitKat in order to test some app, I accidentally flashed a bad fastboot.img file. All was too late after I pressed the ENTER key. Although the device still booted and could also enter the stock Recovery mode, attempting to boot into fastboot is a fail (stuck on ASUS logo.)
Now, after an attempt to fix it by ADB Sideloading ASUS' stock 3.24.x Lollipop firmware, my device is technically bricked. Trying to boot it only takes me to the "dead droid" screen (Recovery mode). Attempting to boot into Fastboot (whether Power + VolUp or Reboot to bootloader via the Recovery menu) is a failure. I remain stuck at the ASUS logo.
I've seen the tutorial about unbricking the ZenFone 5 without Fastboot and Recovery (even with ruined partitions) but I found it too bothersome. I'm thinking that since I still have the stock Recovery in my pocket, is there a way to at least restore Fastboot via Recovery? Or better yet, a one-mode solution to install stock ASUS firmware without having to downgrade the Recovery menu (because Fastboot is dead.) Thank you for any help.

to enter recovery mode, u can try key combination :
POWER + VOL UP... when your phone's vibrate, pres VOL DOWN until "dead droid" come, u must release all button then press and hold POWER, press VOL UP Once.

I know that's how you get to Fastboot, but if you read my entire post, I wrote that I could not access Fastboot, whether through hardware (Power + VolUp) or through the Recovery menu's "Reboot to bootloader" option.

It's cool.
Yea. I tried doing that. Doesn't work:
I have the Recovery mode for 3.24 Lollipop FW. If I tried to install an older one (i.e. a KitKat stock ROM), it just throws me an error saying that I can only sideload an older FW. However, if I tried sideloading the same 3.24 FW, it just throws me an "Unknown command" upon the sideload reaching about 36%. It's always been like that, I can assure. I am very certain it is not caused by a faulty data connection.
Any way around this? Thanks!

Really Stuck and Need Help ASAP!!! MLA-L03 Soft Brick

I'm stuck in an infinite eRecovery loop. No matter what I try or what I do I can't get the phone to boot back into the OS. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Huawei is going to do an rma for me but I'm flying out on business for 2 weeks and really need this phone with me. It's an MLA-L03 that is oem unlocked (which is what I'm thinking is causing me the most issues as I can't do the normal button presses to get to certain things but I can't relock it as it says it can't be trusted or whatever)
I did manage to get to a point where I have full access to /data/ but no matter what rom I try to flash it fails with failing to mount /cust/
If I put an update.app it will get to 5% and hang until it fails when I do the button press to force an update. I cannot get to the emui factory reset screen.
PS, yes I know I'm a dumbass, so be gentle lol. I'm really desperate and have nothing to lose at this point so will to try anything.
I did try everything here with no luck (other than getting full access to /data/ lol):

Ok so you'll have to flash firmware with fastboot.
You need to download and install fastboot, firmware finder and huawei extract tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (fastboot), https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 (firmware finder), https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 (huawei extract tool).
So install adb and fastboot, extract firmware finder and huawei extract tool. Open firmware finder hit common base, on model for find enter mla-l03 and download a full ota, form firmware you just downloaded extract update.app. Now open huawei extract tool and load your update.app you've just extracted and extract from there boot.img, recovery.img and system.img by using the right click (extract them on the same folder where is located fastboot, for example I got fastboot installed on local C/adb).
If you have twrp installed boot in fastboot mode by using twrp, if not you can boot in fastboot mode with the phone turned off by pressing volume - while plugging the usb cable.
Open cmd and write cd /adb (between cd and / is space) and hit enter than write fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG and hit enter, after finally writing the system write fastboot reboot and hit enter and wait till phone reboots.

Thanks, I've done all that already and it did not fix it but will try again once I get home.

Really?
I got my phone in the same state and was the only method witch helped me.
Did you successfully flashed boot, recovery and system and still not working? phone get stuck on the huawei logo? After you flash them, boot into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache.

yup, everything flashed successfully. I can't get into the recovery to do a factory reset. I have 4 options at my disposal:
1. fastboot
2. Huawei eRecovery
3. TWRP
4. force update where it always fails at 5%
I think the biggest thing that is screwing me is the fact that it's unlocked and I can't relock it. I'm almost 100% positive if I could relock it, I would have no issues with it.

And woh do you boot into twrp? Since you can boot into twrp you must be able to boot in stock recovery. Use huawei multi tool by black team too go into recovery.

Thanks I'll try that.
It's weird. I flash TWRP, do what I need to do, then reflash the recovery.img. However it just does a continuous loop to eRecovery when I do that unless I try to force it to update.
I'll try using the fastboot that you linked to and see if that makes a difference. Right now I'm using the minimal adb and fastboot install.
EDIT: Same result when trying to relock the bootloader--device cannot be trusted.
EDIT2: Do you have the cust.img file? None of the firmwares I've downloaded has it in it.

When your device reboots and you get to the warning screen about your device being unlocked, what buttons do you press to get into the normal (ie not eRecovery) recovery where you can do a factory reset? When I have TWRP installed, I have to hold volume + and volume - at the same time to go into TWRP. If I do the same thing after I reflash recovery.img, then it goes straight into the forced update which stalls and fails at 5%. Volume - reboots and goes back to fastboot. Volume + takes me to eRecovery. Doing nothing, the phone reboots and goes to eRocovery on the reboot. Holding down all 3 buttons also goes to the forced update screen.
I'm assuming that I'm missing something super simple and stupid so I'm going to go over everything again, step by step very carefully.

That just reboots me and then puts me in fastboot unfortunately. I'm going to try loading twrp and removing anything in /dload/ and see if it will boot to normal recovery. Last time I checked there was an update.app file there so maybe it's just bypassing recovery and trying to install that.

I'm driving and it's a bit hard to write did you tried another recovery? You can flsh twrp, put the stock recovery on sdcard, boot into twrp and flash recovery from there and reboot phone from twrp into recovery....

[SOLVED] Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime cannot boot to TWRP

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime/Pro and my problem is that I cannot boot into recovery using the Power+Volume Up method. When I do so, my phone gets stuck at the Mi boot logo. However, I can boot into recovery when I hold Power+Volume Down (I enter fastboot mode), then I connect my phone to my PC and I use the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
I don't know if it's normal that my phone restarts automatically and boots into recovery when I hit enter with the last command.
I want to be able to get into recovery using the Power+Volume Up technique. Also, I heard that if I hold the Volume Up key when I reboot from fastboot will open a window with an option to disable stock recovery replacement. This also doesn't work and gets me to the stuck screen with the Mi boot logo.
Is there anything I can do to open TWRP using the Power+Volume Up method?

Switch off the phone and wait for 10sec. After that hold together Volume Up + Volume Down + Power and wait (i guess 5-15sec) until you see recovery.

Hello,
thanks for your response. I don't know if you actually read my post, but my phone reboots after the command
Code:

and then it directly boots into TWRP. So getting into TWRP isn't that much of a problem here. I wanted to get into recovery without a PC and without using any of these commands.
Also, please try to describe the procedure more precisely next time because typing out just one command that isn't even surrounded in

Hello,
thank you for your answer. One thing I forgot to mention is that I use a custom OS too (MoKee ROM) with Android 6.0.1. Although this has an option for 'Advanced reboot' where you can reboot to recovery, this option always got me to the Mi boot logo and stays stuck there.
Also, I already fixed this problem by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down at the same time.
Best regards,
DJsushi
