Howdy folks, a couple questions. I had 4.1.2 on my 1st gen KF for a while now and just upgraded to 4.3. In doing so I lost the option to boot into Recovery (I used to be given the option when I held the power button). Now I am not sure how to get to TWRP.
Also, and more frustrating, I noticed several of the apps I had working before, won't work. Flickr, for example, will download and install, but when I try to launch it, I just get an error saying "Unfortunately, Flickr, has stopped "
Any ideas?
(Sorry if this has been discussed, I searched all night, but didn't find anything.)

Open GooManager and reboot recovery from there.

FireFireFire comes with an option to use the power button upon startup to access a boot menu, which will give you to access custom recovery. AOSP doesn't have the option to reboot into recovery or GooManager, so you'll just reboot and use the FireFireFire boot menu upon startup. If one doesn't have FireFireFire installed, it should be installed immediately because it will be invaluable in case something goes wrong...and it usually does.

A couple of weeks ago, my phone started acting strange. When I would bring the screen up after non-use, the time stopped changing. I could get it to update, but it started to be more frequent last Thursday. Friday, when I got up, I started getting error messages that various applications, including the market, had stopped working and asking if I wanted to force stop or send a report. At first I sent the reports, but now I just close.
I loaded Cyanogen 7 in March, and have been very happy with it. So, today I tried to reload it. I went to the website and tried unrevoked and recovery mode. The Unrevoked will not recognize the phone plugged in, and so will not load. And when I tried recovery mode, ROM Manager will not work. I can still make calls, but that is about all that works. Anyone have and ideas or suggestions? I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!

Pull the battery
Hold Power and vol down at the same time.
Change to recovery after hboot loads
Do a factory reset
Flash ROM of your choice

If you're rooted already, Unrevoked will root/S-OFF your phone, so there's no need to run it again. It should have flashed a custom recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery. Are you able to boot into that? Did you try running Fix Permissions in ROM Manager? How did you flash this ROM initially? If it was thru ROM Manager, I advise against this. Download the ROM zip file and flash that thru Recovery, have you done this before?
EDIT: +1 to what NilsP says too.

Thank you both for responding. I have tried, and did try again to do a factory reset, but it locks up on the white Incredible screen, and I end up pulling the battery again to just get it to boot. ROM Manager will not open, in fact most apps will not open. I can get into settings. I have not been able to find Clockworkmod Recovery at this point.
Any ideas?
Hello, I recently flashed sphongle on my HTC ONE V, and it was working fine. I later installed gapps, which was also working fine (downloaded a few app and recovered my contact etc... using Titanium) for a while until I rebooted the phone. After this I could not get past the loading screen for sphongle. I do not know if Gapps was the issue, but I used version 20130301.
I then went to the my CWM recovery menu and did a factory reset, cleared the cache and tried restoring to the backup I made before I flashed the ROM. After doing this I could not get past the HTC menu. After doing all of this I now cannot access the bootmenu, it instead goes straight to the recovery menu when I hold down the power and volume down button as one would do to access the bootmenu. Because I can't access the bootmenu, I can't use an RUU.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very happy.:fingers-crossed:
I'll try to answer any questions people have.
CWM is more trouble than its worth. it doesnt have a boot to bootloader option like twrp? you are in a fix without the ability to access hboot
No it doesn't have the option sadly.

Honestly It's pretty embarrassing, and shows my inexperience at this, but the whole time I tried booting to hboot, my phone was plugged into my computer. Once I unplugged it I could boot into hboot no problem. I guess this would be helpful for new users to know.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, GSM version. It was working fine about ~3 weeks ago. I turned it off and removed the SIM card as I upgraded to a new phone.
Now I've turned it on and it just hangs on boot showing the animated X.
I tried recovery mode and get a "No Command" error.
I've never done anything to this phone before, in other words it's just running standard Android. Any advice? I've looked through some past posts but it seems like a lot of people have rooted the phone with custom OS, etc. I've never done any of that. So trying to figure out what the issue is with this phone. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
GR

Maybe you don't even have a custom recovery installed yet? Not necessary, but since custom recovery are far more convenient than the stock one, you might wanna give it a try.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
The phone is completely stock. I've never done anything to it so not sure why I'm having this issue to begin with. But what custom recovery would you recommend I try? Is there a link that you can send me? And how would I install it given that I cannot even get the phone to boot?
Thank you

Hold both VOLUME+ and VOLUME- keys, and while holding, long press POWER key. Do you see a green Android robot with its lids open? If yes, you're in fastboot mode, from which you can flash recovery, stock ROM, etc. (but if no...)
I'm on the phone now and can't provide links... Just first tell us whether you could boot into fastboot, will catch up later depending on your answer.

When the phone is off, if I press volume up/down + power then yes I see the screen that you're talking about. So I can boot into fastboot. When I choose Recovery Mode it restarts and that's when I get the No Command error.
Thank you so much for your help.

Install the correct ADB and fastboot drivers and files on your PC (I can't help you with this).
When your GNex is in fastboot, connect it to your PC, wait for it to get recognized.
Download CWM recovery here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager - you'll have to choose your device variant (GSM/Verizon/Sprint), and choose if you want touch or not. Downloaded file should be an *.img file.
Open a command prompt window on your PC, enter "fastboot flash recovery *PATH-TO-YOUR-RECOVERY*.img" (no quotes). After flashing completes, just boot into recovery and do what you should do.

Just want to thank everyone for all of the help. I really appreciate it. Andy, I did try several of the steps that you mentioned but for some reason the PC just wouldn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode. I tried both the Google and Samsung drivers.
In my searching I found this post though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/nexus-4-stock-recovery-command-issue-t2113478/page2
And realized that I should check samer's advice again. Turns out that I just wasn't pressing those two buttons in the correct sequence. I was doing it simultaneously and I guess you have to do it serially. At any rate was able to restore factory and now the phone is booting. Wow. What a pain. Still not sure what caused the phone to blow up in the first place.
At any rate really appreciate everyone's help.
Warm regards,
GR

So I just tried to flash 4.4 on my P605 (file being P605XXUCNE2_P605OXACNE2_NEE.zip).
Sadly, I forgot to tick 'phone bootloader update' in Odin, soooo....now I'm stuck on the Samsung logo with 'Recovery booting' written in blue on the top left edge.
I've searched the Net for a solution, but all the ones I've found require me to remove my battery, which is kinda impossible on the P605 without hardware modifications.
I really need some help here, as I'm sure there is another way to get to Download Mode.

Flash stock JB rom,let it reboot then Flash Kitkat rom after... Flash TWRP 2.7.0.1 and let reboot, go into recovery, now should be TWRP, flash latest supersu.zip file(1.99r3). Now Kitkat, rooted and custom recovery.
If you don't want root and TWRP, skip those steps...
Just be aware you will have difficulty accessing external sd card with any but stock file manager and not all 3rd party apps will be allowed to use it (unless rooted)...

I had the same problem, just hold down power and down vol and get to into download mode so you can tick that bootloader update and it will work.
Took me a few goes to get it to go there... but it did work for me.. Hope that helps
I also found the flash jig for the S2 works to get to download mode...
Don't know what I mean, here's a youtube video demonstrating, just forget the bit with the battery, you just need to insert and power down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8yqWf6JU3o
Worth around $3 on ebay... Look for S2 usb jig...

You must do it at the right moment between screen cycles. Took me 1 minute, but for some people here on forum it took 30.

What does a screen cycle mean exactly? Sorry if the question is dumb.
Edit: Just got into d/l mode.
I did that by holding Vol- and power. It restarted a couple of times but in the end it got there. Thanks for all the help.
Try Power + Volume Down + Home instead of just Power + Volume Down, there is a different if you are stuck.
Hi,
I installed two or three apps this morning from Google Play store. After that I found out my phone has some lag. I tried to reboot it that may help solve the problem. Unfortunately after rebooting my phone it stuck at bootscreen. My phone was rooted, and I have TWRP recovery. I have access to system file using it's file manager. Now I want to know which app causing the problem and how can I delete it from recovery. I don't want to factory reset my device. Thank you in advanced and sorry for my bad English.

Follow this guide. It's for system apps, but it doesn't matter, just look for your apps and delete the ones you have installed recently.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/guide-htc-one-m8-how-to-delete-apps-s-t2947154
Try to boot into Safe Mode. Force a restart by holding power and vol up. Then after the phone begins to restart (boot screen) let go of those buttons, and only hold vol down. You need to do this after the screen goes dark and the initial HTC boot screen appears. Hit vol down too soon, and you will of course boot into hboot.
If its the apps as you suspect, the phone should boot into Safe Mode. It will look like a normal boot into OS, but with only system apps and Safe Mode in the lower left corner of the screen.
From there, go into Settings and uninstall the 3 apps.

Same with my method. Delete the recent apps (OP said there were only 2 or 3). Than add back one at a time (if you really want them) to see which one is the offending app.
