Hello there,
i am trying to install lineageos onto my old nexus 4. so far i used the offical installation instructions.
i go into fastboot with volume down + power
it says: secure boot - enabled and lock state - unlocked at the bottom of the screen
then i use fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-mako.img to flash recovery.
then i use the volume down button to select "recovery mode" and press the power button to confirm it.
then the screen turns black and nothing happens.
i tryed the two older versions from twrp with no luck. any other ideas?

I have a Nexus 4 with 4.2.2. I was following this guide to root:

On step 10, after choosing recovery, my phone is stuck at a blank & black screen. If I hold down power, power + volume down, or power + volume up, it just boots back into a black screen. It vibrates as if it's rebooting but won't get out of the black screen. Any ideas?

Page not found. The easiest way to root your phone is to use the chainfire auto root. You need the Google SDK package installed for the ADB commands, unlock your bootloader, then run the auto root. You can flash CWM recovery or TWRP through the Rom manager app, or Goo manager app available via playstore. It sounds like you may have soft bricked it somehow.
did you ever figure this out?
Download a recovery (CWM)
Download and install the Android SDK if you haven't already (Or at least fastboot.exe)
Paste the recovery into the folder with fastboot.exe
Navigate to the folder with fastboot.exe in CMD (Command Line)
Plug in your phone
Boot into fastboot (I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked)
Type in fastboot flash recovery (Recovery file name EXACTLY with the file extension, which should be .img I think)
Should have a working recovery
So about a few hours ago I saw that I could download the new 10.2 cyanogenmod. I wanted it because it was Android 4.3, so I downloaded it. I tried watching flash movies and stuff, and the browsers and stuff kept crashing, and the internet didn't work completely. So, I downloaded 10.1 again, and installed it. It rebooted to the teamwin thing, and then rebooted again. A few minutes after, I was curious as to why it was still loading. Waited a long time, and it still was on the CM boot logo thing. Im using the Nexus 7 toolkit (its called something else, but im not sure what. The icon is a red toolbox with 3 tools in it), and can't reboot into recovery or flash stock back on it. How can I get it out of bootloop? I really need help! D:
Press all the three buttons , power , volume up and volume down together and boot into bootloader. From boot loader use volume buttons to go onto recovery , do a clean wipe there and reflash a ROM. Another alternative is to use adb and type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then wipe clean and reflash ROM.

Hi Red Devil,
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?
I tried mobile odin to re flash my already rooted and cyanogen'd note 3 back to a root ed stock rom,
After hitting the go button it reset and now will only reset into reboot recovery mode.
I have since tried odin connected to a pc and this shows it as added so I think it is connected ok, I have a rom and that shows up as fine and when I click start it reports the SetuConnection message and just sits there.
The problem I have is that it won't reboot into download mode no matter what i try.
Additionally, when I boot I see the recovery reboot message for a second and the Samsung logo and then the screen goes black and stays that way. Bth the capacitive buttons vibrate when you touch them but do nothing else and the volume seems to change the volume up and down. Still with the black screen though
Anyone come across this or have any ideas.

it could be your recovery image is broken somehow. make sure your phone is off. try download latest custom recovery. i recommend either twrp or philz touch cwm. while phone is off, press home + power + volume down. when you see a warning screen, press volume up. this will go to download mode. flash new recovery via odin.
i had issues before with custom recovery causing recovery boot loop. the only confirm working recovery for me is cwm philz touch and twrp.
Got a N7 2012 runing 5.1 - finally got fed up with it being so slow as almost unuseable so decided to install CM12 ... and am stuck in a boot loop.
I followed the instructions I found (I cant post the link) so I've listed them below:
Deploy ROM image
adb devices
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
cd Download
#or whenever you have downloaded files
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Choose Recovery
Now use your volume buttons to change selected item from the Menu and pick "Recovery mode"*and select it with Power button.
Right now ClockworkMod recovery should start!
Now with the same buttons navigate in recovery and select:
1. backup and restore
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. install zip from sdcard
4. choose zip from sdcard (you should find it in folder named "0", not in the root of sdcard!)
5. reboot system now
Cyanogen Mod should be installed!
did a full wipe at fastboot oem unlock .. then realised i'd have to re-push the ROM as I don't have an sdcard ... so I did that.
Managed to flash TWERP onto it (rather than CW) and got it to boot into Recovery Mode but ... the Recovery Mode and Restart Bootloader are in RED and don't do anything when I tap them.
When I try to power off and back on it gets stuck in the boot loop...
Google screen show with a padlock at the bottom, goes away and then shows up again
Teamwin logo shows up
says 'Running OpenRecovery script'
things then happen too quicly for me to track but it seems there are a list of red error messages like:
E: unable to mount data and could not find crypt footer
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the device doesnt appear i the list when I type
adb devices
fastboot devices
Can anyone tell me what to do to get CM12 on the m/c and working???
btw, managed to break out of the bootloop but it will just start again when turned off and on.
Thanks in advance.
From what you said, you're not in recovery mode. You're in bootloader mode.
In bootloader mode device doesn't support touchscreen, you need to use volume up/down and power to select option.
To get out of bootloop and go to recovery:
1. Power down your device (hold power for few seconds)
2. Boot into recovery mode (hold Volume Down + Power)
3. Navigate to recovery (Using Vol up/down and selecting option by pressing power button)
Hi I m using sm p550 having Australian firmware as bought from there. I want to root it. I tried flashing twrp recovery using Odin. It says pass but don't load the recovery. I tried many times but didn't work. It also doesn't have oem unlock option in settings. Please help me how to solve it and root my device running on nougat 7.1
Make sure you follow the instructions:
You have to uncheck the "auto reboot" checkbox in the options tab. Flash the recovery in the AP-Slot. Turn the device off holding power + home + volume down; when the screen goes black switch to power + home + volume up. If you boot to Android then you have to reflash & retry.
