Can't access recovery mode, bootloader locked - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Good evening,
I have trying to get my phone working for a few weeks now to no avail. I can access fastboot mode and it recognizes the device but I cannot access recovery mode. The phone is stuck on the logo screen, powered by Android. When I try to boot to recovery mode, it stays on the logo screen. Any advice? I am willing to try anything at this point.
Thank you!

When you seeing the dead Android you push and hold power button and press volume+ additionally?

We actually do not have a recovery partition. You want to flash it to your current boot slot.
Do this:
fastboot getvar current-slot
this will return your <letter>
then do
fastboot flash boot_<letter> <filename>.img
You can continue forward.
good luck.

To clarify, I assume that the letter will be the partition, a or b. What do you refer to with filename? Is that the zip file with the image to flash? Apologies if the answers are obvious. Just learning over here. Thanks again.

I never get to the screen with the Android. It never progresses past the logo screen when trying to boot into recovery mode from the bootloader menu. Any suggestions? Thank you

When you determine the letter then flash boot.IMG I was on 8.1 aosip right after that you will see that the computer will see your file system then I flashed twrp and then either 8.1 beta or asoip.

That may or may not be possible.
The first thing I do is fully unlock my bootloader.
For tother people I suggest enabling the OEM Unlock option.
That doesn't me you have to unlock, but it just might save you.
For the OP, did you select the option to OEM Unlock?
Recovering from a boot loop with a locked bootloader might be a challenge.

I'm bricked .. Getting worries. (Yes I've read the forums ...)

Attempted to flash Liquid Jelly Bean, then got stuck on the animation boot screen. I've tried Root tool kit for unbricking and setting it back to stock. Tell me it's successful but stays stuck on the animation screen.
I've also tried to unbrick manually however even though I have the correct files placed in my Platform Tools folder of Android SDK ... I constantly get stuck at the CMD prompt steps. Any time I type in "ADB reboot loader" or ..."fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img" or anything similar I get the error message in CMD saying "___ Is not recognized as an internal or external command"
I'm not sure what to do. The bootloader does say that my device is locked, I just can't get passed the splash screen!

Here's an update:
I think I've made it worse ...
Nothing will boot now and it's currently locked. Any time I hit "Start" it says "Booting Failed"
My CMD now says; Error: Cannot Load "Bootloader Grouper-3.34.img"
I'm seriously lost. I've been working on this for about 6 hours now ....
Can you get into bootloader and then recovery by holding the power and volume down buttons? Was ADB actually working before all of this??

No I can't get into the recovery at all. When I turn on the device I don't even need to use the rocker keys to get into bootloader either. Actually my bootloader is a bit different now too. I have the 'Google' logo and at the top the regular options for Start, Recovery, Power Off, etc.
In simple terms: I can't even get to the animated splash screen anymore
Open the command prompt IN the directly WITH fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock
Then wipe / flash factory images. Fastboot -w update image whatever the image name is.
Then uninstall / delete that stupid toolkit and never use them stupid craps again.
Are you still able to communicate with the device via fastboot? If you issue the command 'fastboot devices' does it return a serial number?
Edit: I'm going to bed so if you are able to use fastboot, download the factory image pack from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Extract the archive. Inside are there will be an install script, manually issue the commands contained in the script in fastboot. The only thing you need to add is the location of the .img and .zip files from the archive you extracted e.g. 'fastboot flash recovery c:/Users/name/desktop/recovery.IMG'
There is no reason this will not get you up and running again.

Thanks for your response.
I've followed the instructions in the file. From previous research, I've had these files. My device does communicate with Fastboot. When I give the command for Devices it gives me my serial. Also, when I ask it to reboot-bootloader in CMD it does.
My issue is when I get to "Fastboot flash bootloader-grouper-3.34.img". CMD states "Error: Cannot load bootloader-grouper-3.34.img"
I've followed the commands previous to that. (Erase boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata)

Yes my device is unlocked again, but I still can't get into recovery mode. It just tells me "Recovery Failed" in small text in the upper left hand corner of my N7.
UPDATE:
After unlocking the device again. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to restore to factory settings and it worked
The Problem: My device was no responding correctly to the toolkit when locked.
Cheers for the help. I'll attempt to root again, hopefully no problems this time If there are I'll be sure to post again!
Thanks to everyone that replied.

For the love of God..stop using the toolkit from here on out.. learn how to use ADB and Fastboot so you can avoid these issues.

So you erased the recovery then wonder why you could not boot into recovery....
You flashed or tried to flash the bootloader. You already had the same bootloader installed and there was no need to do so to try and fix your issue.
You still don't know what you're doing and are back using the tool that lead you to this issues. A toolkit. Learn what you're doing and you wont face this type of silly issue again.

Updated TWRP and now not booting

I updated TWRP today to 2.3.0.0 from within GooManager then rebooted into recovery and fixed my permission. It was done unusually fast and when I rebooted, it would get stuck on the booting screen. When I tried to boot into recovery by pressing power and both volume buttons, it would get stuck on the google logo.
Please advise.
Any other way I can fix this or somehow restore from a backup?
A lot of users are having issues with cwm and twrp not booting with new boot loader. You can revert back to old version or some have had success by deleting "recovery-from-boot." file. You can look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779092 I'm going to wait patiently for a twrp update that should resolve the issue.

Thank you very much!
I'm sorry but I'm not too much of an expert on Android. AFAIK Recovery mode is the only way I know to do some low system stuff. If I can't boot into recovery, how else can I do anything to fix this?
How can I revert back to old version?
I know you linked the other thread but there are 33 pages I was hoping you would have a short answer hehe thanks.

If I try to boot into system, it's stuck on boot animation.
If I try to boot into recovery manually (power + volume buttons then select recovery) it would get stuck on Google. It doesn't loop.
I see that you posted over on the twrp thread, hopefully those guys can help you. I am assuming that you have updated to 4.1.2? If you're really stuck maybe try a tool kit like wugs or n7 toolkit? Sorry but SDK isn't one of my strong points either

You can reflash recovery from fastboot. If you've updated to 4.1.2 you might be experiencing same issue as many of us - being unable to boot to recovery. If that is the case, flash bootloader 3.34 from the JRO03D factory image as well.

From what I understand, in order to reflash recovery from fastboot would require me to get the file to the device. However, right now I can't seem to get access at all as it never boots up whether into system or recovery. Are there any other ways to get files onto there?

OK this is weird. I tried rebooting into recovery again and it worked! I then rebooted into system and that worked too! This is so strange because I didn't do anything different. I guess it just took 20+ tries... I am not rebooting in a while... lol

which sounds like you were able to get to fastboot mode (power + vol buttons) - your N7 should look like this. From there you can issue fastboot commands to the device to flash recovery. kerne, and bootloader to name a few.
Actually I spoke too soon.
I can boot into recovery TWRP 2.3 with USB plugged in, but still can't boot into system.
Is it possible for me to downgrade to TWRP 2.2 from within TWRP? I kind of doubt it but am pretty desperate at the moment lol.
Yes, I can get into fastboot, but I'm not sure how to do anything besides pressing volume up or down to start, recovery, fastboot or shut down.

If you can get in to fastboot you are in good shape. :good:
You'll need the fastboot program (and the driver if on Windows) on your computer in order to issue commands. This guide can direct you on how to get that set up.

Fortunately I was able to wipe everything while I was in recovery and restore from my most recent backup and now it's working fine. At the very least it's allowing me to boot into system

I installed twrp a few weeks ago through GooManager and made a backup. When the 4.1.2 update came out, I downloaded it manually with the intent on flashing it via cu custom recovery, but low and behold twrp wasn't working at all. Even with my device plugged into my Win 7 pc... nothing but the exclamation point droid.
I was able to install an updated version of twrp and get everything sorted out, but now I don't have a lot of faith in it, and am booting into recovery at least once a day to make sure it's still working. I never had any problems with cwm.
Twrp has been updated if you're still having issues.

Bootloop and "Downloading-do not turn off target!!" in recovery
Hi there,
New here so please be gentle if possible Opened box, updated OTA firmware to latest 4.2, enabled developer mode & USB, used adb reboot fastboot and adb oem unlock to unlock. Confirmed unlock and now stuck in a bootloop. When I use Power+Down to go into recovery, I get the Android picture stating "Downloading... do not turn off target!!!". Fastboot and adb commands won't work, so I can't figure out how to get past this point. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
It's a pain to get into the bootloader. Always takes me a few tries. Try holding down power and both vol keys. I have to do it several times, sometimes just vol - sometimes both. Eventually it will go to the bootloader without the downloading dialog.

Big thanks to both of you who replied with hints. I confirm that holding down BOTH volume keys and power brought me into regular fastboot. I went into recovery (then pressed up+power) and did a factory reset. The (unlocked) Nexus then booted properly after that. I have had no issues since. *fingers crossed*
i have the same problem right now. im using the nexus10toolkit and I have reflashed it back to stock and unroot it. Im still stuck at bootloop. any ideas?

Go back to fastboot. Once in fastboot, go into RECOVERY. You'll get android andy on its back with red exclamation point. Hold down POWER then briefly press VOLUME UP. You should then have the menus visible. Now just wipe your device. Reboot and it should work now. If not do the relock, unlock, relock and fastboot recovery and wipe data.

Sry for waking up this thread. I am in the same situation as this user, tried to use the nexus tool kit, reflashed the stock factory image and unrooted it and after everything was done its stuck at the google logo. If i try to acces fastboot i always go into download mode. It says downloading...do not turn off target !!
If i press the power button it restarts the device and again stuck in bootloop at the google logo. I cant unlock or lock because i cant get into fastboot at all.
Help?

I have tried 100 times to boot in fastboot mode. I've done every combination of power, volume up, and volume down imaginable. All my tablet does is vibrate. It will boot to the nexus logo but stays in a boot loop. How can I get to the fastboot? Is it just bricked beyond repair. I was attempting to unlock it with the nexus toolkit and it rebooted my device during the process and started this bootloop. Can anyone help?????
Can adb find your device when in bootloop? If so
adb reboot bootloader
If not you will need to continue trying to get into fastboot mode with the hardware keys. I doubt you are bricked as the bootloader is still there or it wouldn't make it to splash screen

[Q] No recovery, no fastboot?

So, one of my family members was mucking around on their tablet. I was sure that I has locked down the appropriate areas, but as of right now, I think I'm looking at a hard-brick. I'm not sure what kind of fastboot capabilities I have, turning it off, and on again boots to what looks like fastboot, but I have a Google splash screen. Using the vol up/down/pwr button does boot into fastboot, but I'm not sure what I have at my disposal for flashing. Any suggestions? I've just never seen anything like this before.
If you can boot into fastboot, it isn't a hard brick. A brick doesn't turn on.
Just try fastboot flashing the stock image on it from Google.

Another alternative would be to boot into recovery, if you can.
I assume you had twrp or cwm? If so, you could reflash the rom you're using. If not, you could install twrp from fastboot and then sideload a rom of your choice.

ADB push wasn't accepting anything. What I ended up doing, was using the Wug toolkit to force-flash a stock image. Still not sure what the hell happened, I'm just happy it works now.

Cant enter into bootloader after Upgrade to 10.5.8

Hi everyone, i have an Oneplus 8 pro BA european one.
I was in 10.5.6 rooted and with xXx rom 11.0
I did this to install 10.5.8 update:
Before all Disable all magisk modules
- Update the Rom: settings> System> System upgrade. WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.​
After reboot magisk seems to be unnistalled:
https://ibb.co/55hJjwH
And also i cant enter into bootloader, i tried first selecting bootloader mode after pressing power buttom,
but in enters in recovery mode not bootloader mode. Then i tried to use ADB commands, adb reboot bootloder. It goes
into recovery again. Finally i tried to select bootloader mode in the recovery, but nothing...
Any idea?

didnt knew it was, cause i did fasboot list devices command and nothing happens.
People use to laught at you instead help you btw. Very sad life they have.
[/QUOTE]And also i cant enter into bootloader, i tried first selecting bootloader mode after pressing power buttom,
but in enters in recovery mode not bootloader mode. Then i tried to use ADB commands, adb reboot bootloder. It goes
into recovery again. Finally i tried to select bootloader mode in the recovery, but nothing...
Any idea?[/QUOTE]
Hm...I'm in a similar constellation, after update to 10.5.8 I lost magisk and so root. Somehow the extraction of 10.5.8's boot.img and conversion into magisk_patched.img didn't help me regain boot, but ends in crashdump. But from here, I always can get back to bootloader with long pressing vol+ and power, when screen turns black let go both buttons and immediately press vol- and power which brings me back to recovery, from here into bootloader. reflash stock boot.img and I'm fine, but still no root, of course.
ok now, did you try to simply reflash 10.5.8 from settings/system/systemupdate/local upgrade? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

You are getting in to bootloader , I saw some discussion on the how to root without twrp thread , go check there people are having same issue and I think it works for a dude there and mentioned how he did so :good:
I'm having the same problem. After trying this I get into the CrashDump Mode and can't get out no matter what. Tried to get into the recovery to get fastboot or something but it brings me back to CrashDump Mode. Anybody know how to fix this? kind of don't want a brick here with me... Thanks in advance!

I can get into fastboot actually by holding both volume buttons but as soon as I try to get into recovery the screen stays black and my PC says USB device not recognized. I flashed the stock boot image from 10.5.6 but it didn't work as it just goes back to CrashDump Mode...

try flashing the stock boot.img to both slots ... fastboot set_active (slot), do this for each slot. then fastboot flash boot boot.img (in my case it doesn't matter which slot is set active, my OP8pro does boot anyway). then fastboot boot boot.img. good luck:fingers-crossed:

Thank You SO MUCH. I had to set the active slot to slot b in my case and like you said flash the stock boot.img and booted right up! Again, Thank you so much!
