Hello to all, good night;
I had by mistake flashed thru flashtool a recovery image to my r800i (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)... then at the phone start all that it did was load to CWM. After some reading I flashed a boot.img file from a cm-7.2.0-zeus (cyanogen mod) and were able to load the phone properly, however the splash load screen from the recovery image persists.
I have searched everywhere to find a boot.img from stock R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic with no luck.
Can someone please point me out how to remove the loading splash screen or share a stock boot.img for testing?
Thanks a lot, Im aware it was a noob mistake.
Best regards.
I noticed that when using the last dev preview for my N7 2013, it keeps killing TWRP and putting back the stock recovery. Now the final release does this. If I flash TWRP again, it just gets overwritten after a normal boot then back to recovery.
Why? Is there a way to stop this? This is the first time I've dealt with this. Nothing else does this to me. I haven't found a clear answer yet to this while searching this site or others.
I solved this by flashing a custom kernel, in my case, ElementalX 3.02.
I downloaded the zip to the tablet, rebooted to fastboot, wrote the recovery, then booted into the recovery (just after flashing it, don't boot system), flashed custom kernel, and upon booting system it stopped overwriting the recovery partition with stock recovery.
It seems the stock kernel overwrites the recovery partition if it has been modified. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Well it is just 5.0 that does this.
Since I posted this there is a sane reason for them to do this - it might be the way they enforce the factory reset protection. It has to use their recovery to do so. Still annoying.
But thanks for a workaround, that it simply is the kernel, or boot image. That and I want root
You can try Chainfire's CF-AutoRoot, It modifies Boot.img so root is granted in boot time, I already had a custom kernel when I rooted, but you can try to root first and see if it stops auto-writing the stock recovery.
Here's the download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/347/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-flo-razor-nexus7.zip
Extract it, and run root-windows.bat (or the one suitable to your OS) while in fastboot.
Hi there, I had a Cyanogen rom since some years and now I tried to go back to the stock rom. I followed this tutorial and flashed recovery.img just fine, but when I press Pwr/Down vol nothing happens, it remains in the "Asus in search of incredible" screen.
I tried flashing every recovery img I could find but it's always the same. I can enter fastboot mode, load any recovery image but that's it, I can't boot into it after that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
hello I am trying to fix this old phone which keeps bootlooping. I can't get to the OS, and the bootloader won't show. When I try to go to the bootloader, I get to the recovery screen. I tried looking for an answer on google but all of the ones I found needed me to boot to the OS first. please link me to a tutorial for how to fix these, and explain like you would to a complete newbie. Thank you
This what you will flash the stock recovery of your phone since is booting into recovery. Now have in your sdcard the stock firmware renamed to whateva your line of desire is 0pjfimg etc. Now when your reboot your phone it will boot into the stock recovery there is an option for bootloader/hoot screen.The phone will see the firmware when it boot into bootloader. So and let me know ok.
