Before flashing I could boot into the recovery screen with Vol- and Power while rebooting or cold booting, but after root and CM6 flash I can no longer do so.
The only way I've found to be able to reboot into recovery is manually through the CM settings. This worries me, however, in the case something may happen to corrupt my ROM. I've already manually booted back into Clockwork to perform a nandroid backup.
Did rooting and flashing CM6 simply change the hotkey for auto starting the recovery, or did I wipe it out?
edit: Apparently you can't boot into FASTBOOT from a reboot, it has to be cold boot. D'OH.

I recently ran an update for the CyanogenMod. It was the most recently nightly update (12/6) and when it finished the phone restarted into the ClockworkMod Recovery mode. I tried to restart the phone, but it booted to the bootloader. Now no matter what I do I cannot get the phone back into the OS, just the Clockwork Mod Recovery mode or the bootloader. I have tried running a nandroid, but it fails.
EDIT: I figured out that the only part of the nandroid that is not working is the boot section. I can run the restore of every other part just fine, but the boot is the only one that fails each time.
try flashing a different rom but don't forget to wipe tho..it might help
UNL3ASH3DSCRIPT 4RM 3VO
Tried to flash to the new Warm TwoPointTwo rom. Didn't work. Still only loads to bootloader/Clockwork.
Currently running cwm 3.0.0.8 and CM7 rc1 I believe.
I CAN get into the rom, and everything else on the phone works. However....
I cannot get into recovery in any way. Not by using rom manager, not by holding down the power button and selecting restart into recovery, not by shutting down the phone and rebooting while holding volume down. I get stuck on the splash screen indefinitely every time.
Any suggestions?
Do I need to use an older version of cwm?
I would really like to have recovery back...
Any help appreciated.
Edit: Found a solution. Just had to flash an older version of CWM then flash back to the new version. Sorry for the extra unnecessary thread.
Try to install a new recovery through ROM Manager.
this happens to me whenever I downgrade the CWM from 3008 to 3007, i can never go straight into recovery thatway. I usually flash the recovery from RM twice, and reboot. Then flash into recovery and it generally works.
Don't know why it happens...just does.
good luck!
What I was trying to do: I have a stock 4.4.2 AT&T GS3 that I wanted to root, and then install Cyanogen Mod.
What I did: I flashed Auto-Root with Odin 3.10, restarted and then flashed TWRP 2.8. I then booted to TWRP and attempted to wipe/format the phone but it showed some errors along the way, I think it was something having to do being unable to mount the SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed CM12 and slim Google Apps zip. When it was flashing both I got a string of errors but it said it was successful.
Where I'm at now: When I try turning the phone on (without holding any buttons down) it attempts to boot straight to the TWRP but gets stuck at the blue TeamWin screen. I'm able to get to download mode by holding down the appropriate buttons. I'm wondering if there's anything I can flash from Odin to resolve this.
I also realized I have unbacked up photos on the device, I don't think the format was successful, is there any way to recover those?
Thanks
To recover the pictures, try re-installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, and mount the partitions. Connect the phone to your computer and copy your pictures.
TWRP
I have had this happen before. Try using Odin to flash an older version of TWRP, uncheck reboot after flash and then when it is done, do a battery pull. This has gotten me back into a working TWRP to restore my previous setup. Note: You made need to go back to 2.6. Once you have gotten back up and running flash to the current TWRP with the app.
Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?
Hello,
after flashing recovery with latest TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-0-bullhead - md5 checked), I restarted the bootloader (fastboot restart-bootloader)
But from that point on, the phone only showed a black screen. it still shows in fastboot devices and boots, possibly to the pin-check. power volume down makes a screen capture sound there.
No screen in bootloader, no screen on boot. Only thing that seems to happen is the backlight switching.
Tried to restore factory defaults with the flash all bat from the stock builds, fastloader -w and the flash stock & unroot option from latest nexus root toolkit.
Does anyone have any other idea what I can try?
thanks in advance

I've never seen anyone restart the bootloader. Reboot but not restart. Hopefully they are the same but I have not a clue as to what that does to your phone after flashing recovery. For future reference after flashing recovery, boot into recovery, once in recovery, I always reboot to recovery again, then flash supersu.
I'm glad you have fastboot still. You could try this, flash_all again. Afterwards, boot into TWRP (don't install) do a factory reset and then reboot. Make sure your flash-all is installing everything. I always flash mine one at a time. Good luck

Thank you for the reply. I will try a flash all with TWRP again.
as for the restart - i just looked it up - it was a reboot-bootloader command. Misspelled there.
