I had previously flashed twrp recovery onto my phone via adb. And also flashed a few ROMs.
I recently flashed a stock KitKat ROM and everything is working fine. Except I can't boot into twrp recovery.
I have enabled USB debugging and as MTP.
The phone is being detected on my PC and I can transfer files between the two.
Typing 'adb devices' also shows that my phone is authorized.
I ran command 'adb reboot bootloader' and it works.
'Fastboot devices' also shows my device.
I tried 'fastboot OEM device-info' & also 'fastboot OEM unlock' after running 'adb reboot bootloader'.
I can also flash recovery on my android and it displays an 'okay' message.
However, the phone boots in stock recovery.
I tried flashing various twrp images ranging from KitKat to Marshmallow, from various sites.
None work.
I also booted into twrp manually but that does not work either.
If somebody has a KitKat twrp image will you please share it with me?
Also I do not want to update my phone because I had previously flashed twrp on stock kitkat and it worked then.
Command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' works but 'fastboot boot recovery recovery.img' doesn't.
The command is 'fastboot boot recovery.img'. Also, if that doesn't work, try flashing CWM recovery.
Thank You.
Command "fastboot boot recovery.img' worked. :victory:
I don't understand why flashing recovery didn't work though.
Nevertheless, Thanks a lot!

Hey guys,
I have an stock, unlocked and rooted xt905 lying here with stock recovery right now.
For several times now I tried to flash either cwm or twrp but had no luck.
Thats what I did:
- complete backup
- unlock bootloader
- restore backup
- fastboot flash boot twrp.img
- fastboot reboot
Flashing twrp doesnt throw up any error but as soon as I say reboot, the phone reboots into twrp instead of booting the system.
If I try to reboot to system within twrp, it reboots to twrp again. Booting to recovery from twrp brings me to stock recovery.
Its the same thing with cwm and I dont have any clue why, as other users are saying that twrp is working fine.
Till now I tried several different versions of fastboot, twrp and cwm and none of them worked.
Any ideas?
You're using the wrong fastboot command.
By typing "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" you are flashing TWRP in place of the boot.img. You need to type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img."

OMG....
I am working on this phone since yesterday and couldnt figure it out....till now.
Embarrassing! I flashed about a dozen phones before and never had any problems whatsoever and now this.....
Thanks anyway! I am glad that I didnt brick the phone with flashing the wrong partition.
Hi!
I wanted to flash cloudyfa today, so first I wiped everything and flashed the KK bootloader using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380
Then after reboot I see only "Fastboot mode started". On PC after "fastboot devices" I don't see letters and numbers as usualy, only "?" symbol there. Commands like "fastboot reboot" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" works flawlessly, but even after this and reboot, nothing happens. Download mode is working, but isn't there any easly way to flash twrp than doing whole operation with going back to stock via download mode? :crying:
EDIT: "One click" won't work - it doesn't see device.
EDIT2: Nevermind. Done it with KDZ files... ^^.
Hello,
Can anyone assist me in fixing my issue? My phone couldn't boot to recovery mode, i see the TWRP bluescreen and it immediately enters the boot loop. I can boot to fastboot&rescue mode but adb is not detecting my devices. I tried reinstalling the driver and also restart the adb server, but no luck. Tried different USB ports \cable\laptop, but no luck.
Need some assistance or direction to address this issue.
Regards

adb does not work in the bootloader (Fastboot mode)
in bootloader use
fastboot boot twrp.img
just be sure twrp has the correct name and is in the same folder as adb / fastboot
@sri1225,
Adding to clsA post:
If the phone is in fastboot mode, "fastboot devices" should work to confirm PC connection is good and produces a similar response as "adb devices" does when in adb mode.
What led up to the phone getting broken? You said it's bricked - so it won't boot up to normal operating mode?

I tried to flash with the B180+Stock+Rom, after that I cannot go back to TWRP or in recovery mode.
When I do the "fastboot boot twrp.img", in the fastboot&rescue mode, the phone reboots to twrp screen and goes back to the boot loop again. I have tried both the twrp images available in the forum for this device.

The B180 stock rom replaces TWRP with stock recovery
If you want TWRP again flash it from the bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
when you enter TWRP
goto Wipe/Format Data/ and type yes
now you can root the phone or leave it as is
Fwiw, the 'boot' command only boots twrp, it doesn't flash it. Thats useful for testing that twrp works. The proper command to flash is immediately above this post. Take it from me - always test first. If it boots, it works.

Try the command 'fastboot devices', what does it output..? Are you sure you are in fastboot mode, with the screen and the Android with its chest popped open..?
Weird: I was just using it normally, it switched off and now it stays stuck on the Google logo; when entering recovery mode, I get TWRP"s splash screen and it stays there, so I cannot even recover.
Suggestions please??
Note 1: I'm pretty bad with this kind of stuff, need step-by-step instructions.
Note 2: rom is AOSP 7.1.2 but I guess is irrelevant, as even TWRP does not load.
Thanks in advance!!
Can you fastboot boot the TWRP recovery?
Hmmm dont know exactly what that means sorry; I mean I havent tried connecting it to the laptop and using thr ADB toolkit, but I can reset via Power+VolDown to the bootloader menu (? the android layind down and giving the option to StartSystem/ SwitchOff/ Restart/ RecoveryMode), and choosing RecoveyMode it tries to launch TWRP (it even shows the logo) but stays there on the splashscreen, doesn't quite manage to give me the TWRP menus
Someone?

let's see... I set in recovery mode, connect to the PC (does not recognise it), and with "fastboot boot twrp.img" it just sends/writes the file, the tab shows the Google logo with open lock, and then tries to launch Twrp, but as before, it just get stuck in the splashscreen "TeamWin Recovery Project 3.3.1.0" , so just the same.
Command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" the same
Command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" the same
Command "adb devices" returns the list empty
Command "adb reboot recovery" returns "error: no devices / emulators found"
Command "fastboot oem unlock" returns "(bootloader) bootloader is already unlocked"
I tried running a tool called FirstAid (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16684) but does nothing for me
I'm lost, please help
Video and photos of the issue (device, not adb)

Well, looking at your video it seems that there is no bootable ROM installed and also the recovery (for what ever reason) has some issues to start.
The fact, that you are able to boot into bootloader shows that at least it's not completely bricked ... but there's still the chance that the flash memory has some issues.
I would connect the device via usb with a PC and try to do a
fastboot boot <twrp-3.3.1-grouper.img>
to whether in that case the recovery is booting.
If this is successful, the next step would be re-flashing the recovery into the recovery partition and booing into recovery mode from the bootloader.
If this is successful, too, wiping and flashing a new ROM would be the last step.
First of all, I must note that this is my first time flashing a phone, so don't rely too much on my knowledge on the subject, please!
So...
I started by unlocking the OEM and USB debugging from the developer menu, then downloading and extracting ADB tools to my PC. I unlocked my A1 just fine. I then proceeded to install twrp on my phone by using the "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" (as it was named in my ADB folder) and "fastboot reboot" commands. It should be noted that the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" did NOT work in the previous step so I have to use the "boot" command instead. TWRP was working perfectly, and I wiped the data from my system and data slots from twrp (there was no cache option in the menu except dalvik which I also wiped).
After that, I added tissot's evolution_tissot-ota-td1a.221105.001-11121815-unsigned.zip and ProjectElixir_3.2_tissot-13.0-20221102-0447-BETA-OFFICIAL.zip to my phone via fastboot after download. Both were flashed successfully (I didn't try to do them both at the same time, of course. One didn't work and stuck on the boot screen for project elixir, so I tried the other after wiping the older one). Both were stuck on the boot screen for their respective teams.
EDIT: Tried it with the stock version PKQ1.180917.001.V10.0.18.0.PDHMIXM.zip, and it worked! Any idea what the issue is here?
If anyone needs more info, I would be glad to provide it. A little help goes a long way!
Cheers
