CWM recovery wont flash after KRT16O -> KRT16S OTA.

Hi all. I flashed the full system image of KRT16O when it was released. I then flashed with fastboot the CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery image. I then got the OTA to update to KRT16S. I read online that I didnt have to unroot or go back to the stock recovery so I just let it update like normal. It updated fine, loaded up fine, etc. So I then went to use fastboot to reflash the CWM recovery image however all I get is the android on his back with the red triangle.
Am I doing something wrong? Could my recovery partition be screwed? How do I fix it. Thanks!

i should also mention that when I use fastboot to flash the recovery image, it says it was copied/flashed successfully - but it doesn't work.

You didn't flashed recovery or didn't do it correctly. What you saw is stock recovery.
And remember to flash recovery to the correct partition: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

yea i dont think u flashed it correctly either.
go to clockworkmod, download the latest.... copy it to the platform tools folder. then fastboot flash it again...

thanks guys. Im familiar with the process - when I flashed the factory image KRT16O I then used fastboot to flash CWM just a few days prior without a hitch. But on Friday it just wouldnt "stick". I tried three times, each time it said successful but then after a reboot it would be gone. On the third time though after I flashed it, and it said success, I then went into recovery from the bootloader screen and it was there, so I rebooted and went back and this time it had stayed. strange.
Side note - does debugging need to be on to use fastboot?

I am having the same problem.
After the OTA, CWM won't stick. I get a red triangle.
fastboot screen shows that I have a secure boot, whereas the phone shows the lock as unlocked.

USB debugging box should be checked in order to use fastboot.

try to root the phone again and making sure before flashing the CWM, you should erase the old one, use command in fastboot:
fastboot erase recovery
and then
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

I got CWM working again. Not sure how.
I disabled ART, reboot and CWM worked.
Enabled ART and CWM still works, just that it asks if I want to install SU again before booting.

[HELP] Restoring data, unresponsive touch screen, boot loop.

Hello, I want to backup my files from my Nexus 4 after the screen broke and the touch screen stopped working. I have tried this method, I unlocked bootloader and flashed CWM recovery but I couldn't pull files (phone wasn't encrypted). I made sure to flash recovery immediately after unlocking bootloader so I don't lose my data. I then wiped cache from CWM but I got stuck in boot loop, so I tried wiping data/factory reset in CWM (it doesn't delete /sdcard/, does it?). From the first time I flashed and got into CWM recovery, I got errors with mounting /data/ and all other folders. I can not install roms or anything through CWM because it can't mount the /data/ or /system/ from the first time I flashed CWM in the bootloader. I am currently following this guide but I don't want to lose my data, it is more important than the phone. What do I do now?
Edit: I tried sideloading CM10.2 stable and stock 4.4.4 mako. Neither got past bootloop. WugFresh's Nexus Toolkit can't backup data without the phone booting. Still no idea what to do next.

Bump. Still no progress.

can you boot into cwm/TWRP?
---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------
Well, if you do, connect your phone to the computer and open adb and type
adb devices (if your phone is detected, continue)
adb pull /sdcard C:\backup
adb pull /0/sdcard C:\backup

It doesn't pull, says 0 files pulled.

Well, i think your sdcard was erased then... or you can try to pull folder by folder, but i think using /sdcard it would pull everything from the device.

You erased all the data on your device when you unlocked the bootloader.
Might as well just flash stock image now, you don't have to erase any data when doing so, (although yours is probably wiped from unlock bootloader)

I'm pretty sure the data wasn't erased because I immediately flashed CWM after unlocking the bootloader without rebooting, then I wiped cache so it doesn't erase my data on phone start, as pointed out here by the guide I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41291371&postcount=28

I don't know if that works or not, it says it's for 4.2 though, was your device on 4.2?

It'll work just fine. Doesn't matter if you're 4.2.2 or 4.4.4. Also, if you unlocked your bootloader you did wipe your device. Even if you installed cwm before rebooting

Installing TWRP after May update

Hi all,
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I cannot find it.
I successfully installed the May 2016 updates and now I am trying to get root back. I followed the usual steps for installing TWRP
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery .\recovery\twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img
fastboot reboot
No errors seen...
Now if I try to reboot into recovery I get the "No command" page. If I then follow the power button and volume up keypress sequence, I am taken to the original recovery and not TWRP.
Any clues what I am doing wrong? I tried this several times today and no joy (yet all the other updates, I have had no problem getting TWRP and root installed).
Thanks.

You have to immediately boot into TWRP after flashing or the system will overwrite it with the stock recovery.

Thanks for that. Exactly the hint I needed.

Question
Would you mind telling me what steps you took to get the May update? It's so small that I'm reluctant to do anything major to get it and I'm debating on whether to just flash the stock recovery to give that a try, or whether I'm going to have to flash the unrooted image I've saved using TWRP, then flash stock recovery, then get the OTA. Seems like a lot of work for a tiny update.

If you have modified the system in any form, such as using Xposed, then OTA will fail. If the system image is stock that has never been rooted, in theory you should have no issues with stock recovery installed. The OTA is the May security update. Whether you feel it is necessary or not is up to you.

I can't get any further than unlocked bootloader I get no command after trying to get straight into twrp after flash and always goes to factory recovery if that will even boot is there a secret way to boot into recovery directly after twrp flash cause I've been trying for days and days what is going on is there a way to root without twrp first please help it's the main reason I bought this damn thing

Don't run the last command:
fastboot reboot
Select to reboot into recovery from the menu. If you're getting No command, you may need to flash the stock recovery then reboot the recovery. You should have the menu back. Flash TWRP and reboot into recovery to start TWRP.

Umm... OK... No offense to @Rapscallion16 but why are you using a generic toolkit on the Moto X??? It has been mentioned many times that using one click tools and other toolkits is not safe with this and most newer Moto devices, doing it manually is pretty simple.
Anyway, glad you got it working. Enjoy...

Reboot loop, can't access Recovery

This is the whole situation:
I have Pure Nexus installed on my 6P, running great for months. Suddenly yesterday it rebooted while I was using it and sticking in a bootloop. "No problem", I thought, and wanted to reboot into recovery - but nope, can't access it anymore. So I tried to reflash the recovery when I got home, but I only get errorors
When using the command adb devices the line just stays blank. The same with fastboot commands, besides "Fastboot devices"
After messing around a couple hours with the drivers and so on, I managed to somehow get the fastboot command working again. But no sign for the ADB commands, probably because I didn't turn on USB-debugging.
I am now at the point, where I have reflashed Stock Android with the Nexus Root Toolkit and managed to get back into stock android recovery, but still can't get TWRP to boot. I didn't want to delete my personal data, but I saw no other way and formatted /data in stock recovery. But the problem with the bootloop is still there.
It's not the classic bootloop, it boots as far as the Google Logo, then shuts itself down and begins again. I have now reached the point where I have to say, that the hardware might be damaged too. I'd love to somehow get access to the internal storage at least, but I can't without a working ADB.
Reinstalled TWRP with every available version, none of them worked. I am able to access stock Android recovery, but adb commands aren't working from here anyway.
Is there an option to fix the recovery mode? If I could get this working, the rest would be easy for me.
Edit: The reboot looks like in this Link. Only difference is, my device doesn't even the reach the dots.

If you can get fastboot commands to work, just flash the factory image per Heisenberg's guide. Toolkits are more trouble than help. Return it to fresh stock with a full wipe and start fresh.

That vid you linked is an N5 with a stuck power button. It'll do the same thing and reboot recovery as well. It could be your issue but if it is it'll be the first stuck power button I've heard of on a 6P.
When you access fastboot does it stay on in fastboot or does it reboot from it?

You contradict yourself a bit so it is difficult to help you. You got to stock recovery but you can't boot into TWRP? If you have stock recovery, of course you can't boot into TWRP. You have wiped your data but you still want to preserve your data ... Huh?
Your phone isn't working so just nuke and pave with the command line and avoid toolkits. They are sometimes part of the problem.

When stock recovery is installed, I am from time to time able to access it (most of the times it just ends in a bootloop)
If I flash TWRP I can't access it, no matter how often I try
I have factory reset my phone, the stuff on the internal is still there and I want to reach this, as I have my chats, SMS, university stuff and so on backed up on the internal storage
I am trying everything - all the regular adb methods, toolkits, every driver, nothing is working
Sorry if you don't understand my situation, but I am in a pinch right now

You said you have fastboot working?
Download the factory image zip file. Extract it. Extract the zip file from inside that as well. Move the img files to your platform-tools folder.
Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Hold volume down+power from a powered off state.
Plug into PC, open command line from your platform-tools folder.
Type, fastboot devices
Does it show your serial number? If so, start flashing the following images;
Bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, vendor.img, system.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Flash with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
(Substitute "xx.xx" for the version number shown in the img files you unpacked)
Reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you do that, boot to stock recovery and cache wipe. Reboot and you're stock. If you're still not able to boot after that post back.
Edit: You said you wanted to avoid flashing factory images to keep internal storage in tact. Do it this way and you can have your cake and eat it too.

If you flashed the factory images and still boot looping you may need to RMA.
Did you restore a TWRP backup?

Your data is already gone as soon as you did that. If not, your emmc is likely corrupted and you need to RMA.

Try flashing TWRP 3.0.2-3 or boot into twrp through fastboot. Using
fastboot boot recovery <twrp filename>.img
I think booting to twrp using this command will work.
And here's the link to Twrp 3.0.2-3 , as its not available on Official Twrp page.
https://idlekernel.com/twrp/nexus/twrp-3.0.2-3-angler.img

I had the same problem with my 5X, nothing worked I tried every possible solution described above and more. Nothing. I figured out that there was nothing to loose and followed directions from YouTube videos (links below) and it worked. Used heat gun at max temp for about 2 mins from each side. It's been about 12 hours since then, phone works flawlessly. Here are the links:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD25mdrgAys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqh2x-TGnCY
Be careful handling the motherboard after you heat the first side, let it cool first before you start working on the second side. The same with the second side do not pick it up until it's cool.
5X, Pure Nexus Rom 7.1.2 June 5th security update, Elemental X Kernel,

has anyone found solution to this?????

TWRP 3.0.2 hanging

Hey, as you probably read I'm trying to boot into my recovery TWRP 3.0.2 except it just stays on the splashscreen. For some reason i decided to factory reset my phone (it's been an incredibly long week) and I'm stuck. What do I do?
Edit: Now my phone isn't rooted for some unexplained reason. Basically how do i just get rid of it all and start from scratch because that's looking like the best option right now.
Thanks

Same issue when updating to PN 7.0 from DU 6.0. Clean flash with the exception of my PN gapps failed during install. So I'm stuck with no gapps. I sideloaded a few google apps & the wont work. I have the phone back up to a usable state, but I can't sign in to my google accounts.

If you wipe the phone or update Android, when you flash TWRP you have to boot into recovery and root it before booting the system or you will always lose TWRP.
Also, you need TWRP 3.0.2-3. What are you trying to do with only those steps?

My fault. I confused myself.
My recovery is hanging up after flashing from DU 6.0 to PN 7.0. I just want to know how to get back into recovery. fastboot format all
Fastboot format cache
Fastboot flash recovery.IMG
Will that get me back into recovery?

First, did you read my first comment? You can't use the version of TWRP You are. Flash the newest one from fastboot and see if that fixes it. Beyond that, it is pretty much impossible to know what is going on in your case. If you can't boot into recovery after updating, I would fastboot flash a factory image and go back to stock and start again.

After reading that I'm still kinda unclear of the directions.
Is the order
1 fastboot flash boot.IMG
2 fastboot format userdata
3 fastboot format cache
4 flash twrp
Just want to be clear before I wipe the phone. Thanks again

Ok so after some ****ing around with adb and fastboot drivers i still can't get the phone to show up as a fastboot device. On top of that when i have the phone on normally i can't switch it to MTP mode or PTP mode, it only does charging. Where do i go from here?

You can only recognize the phone in one of those modes at a time. In bootloader you can only use fastboot, so if you can't get into recovery you can't use ADB. So you can boot your phone normally, but you can't get into recovery? What exact steps are you using to get into recovery?
Normally I wouldn't suggest it, but have you tried one of the toolkits? I don't like them but they can be helpful.

I've tried using the phones power menu option to reboot into recovery, I've used the bootloader to try and boot into recovery and I've tried turning the phone off entirely the booting directly into recovery.
I attempted to use the fastboot flash user data route while in the bootloader but I couldn't get the phone to show up using the command prompt "fastboot devices"

My device hung when I tried to get into recovery & when i tried to flash a new recovery.img it wouldn't take. The only thing that worked for me was to
Fastboot format user data
Fastboot format cache
Flash stock Google nbd90x

I had an similar issue once & for some reason I can't explain wugs nexus root toolkit was able to recognize my device. Might be worth a shot

Ended up fixing it with the SkipSoft_ULTIMATE_Drivers_v1.0.2
