[Q] TWRP Not working? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Okay so I flashed TWRP after unlocking my nexus 7 (2013) and it boots into recovery fine but when I try to adb sideload or factory reset it just says "failed". I've never heard of this happening so I'm wondering what could have gone wrong and how I'd go about fixing it. It won't boot into android but it boots into fastboot and recovery (TWRP) so I'm nearly certain it's fixable.
Although when I go to install it shows internal storage as (0 mb) so it makes me think something went awry when it unlocked and messed with the partitions?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I haven't because I like twrp but I should try flashing cwm. Any other ideas?

Flash a google factory image, it looks like that's the only fix for this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584625

Your solution is likely in this thread.

I fixed it by clearing the data and flashing an aokp rom and gapps. Thank you!

[Q] rom issue

Hello, I've recently acquired the htc one x from a friend, i came from the sensation. I was trying to do some rom jumping today and put myself into a bit of a pickle.
what you alls need to know is that i accidently deleted the back ups. and now i have no roms to flash and none installed. I can get to twrp and mount to usb, but on the computer end it says i need to format disk before I can do anything. Since that's not really an option I seem to be stuck with no roms and no way to get a rom on it. I would like to put clean 5.0 back on and stick with that until i can better grasp the adb process on the one x. Any help would be appreciated, thank you -

you won't be stuck by deleting twrp, you can always flash any custom recovery from fastboot

what are you talking about!? if you flash a rom (clean 5.0 in your case) you will also have to flash its boot.img to get it running!
at the end of the rom installation process it says it flashes the boot image for you.

o ok. i've managed to flash it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
unfortunately it didn't help that i got the phone and it had already been rooted, would have rather done it myself.

!??!?!??!!??!? could you speak english please? i cannot help you if i do not understand your problem
ok, i'll take it from the top- turn on phone into bootloader. I can no longer get to recovery. I have tried flashing twrp to no avail. when i reset it will go to cleanrom and bootloop. I need to completely reset and re install recovery and rom. just can't get it working for some reason
fastboot erase cache
Go recovery and erase the cache and dalvik cache.
i would but now recovery goes to boot loop, even after i try and flash recovery (twrp and cwm)
fastboot erase cache
i have erased cashe in fastboot through one x tool kit and fastboot flasher. now it goes to the rom and the rom crashes and re boots. :/ how can i wipe and re install rom through fastboot?
also if i click recovery it goes to white htc screen with red dev warning text, then loops
I don't know. I don't know what your tool is doing.
Have you tried reflashing latest recovery? I recommend clockworkmod 5.8.4.0.
is that for gsm ? mine is att version, dk if that matters here
Oh FFS.
You're asking questions about a dual core snapdragon phone in a forum for a quad core Tegra3 based phone and you only wonder out loud now whether that matters?
Yes. Yes it does.
Now go ask questions about your phone in the forum for your phone before you break it.

Same issue here on the Telus T989D. Any solutions without using cwm?
You can always try the manual method if your brave and familiar with the terminal. Go to Team Win's for our phone here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101. Download the .IMG file and follow the instructions under Download - Recovery Image Method (using dd): Not hard but doublecheck your typing before hitting enter or you'll brick your phone.
I'm not responsible for any actions taken because of this post. Good Luck, its worth it in the long run.

One small problem with that.....
Hi guys. I'm having a somewhat similar issue, but it's a little more problematic than that. I was in mid-flash when I unfortunately learned that any attempt to work with the cache resulted in an immediate freeze-up. From what little of the log I've seen, it's trying to tell me that the cache partition is read-only. Any attempt to unmount, wipe, or work with the cache in any way will result in an immediate lock up. This is *after* wiping the system and data partitions. I have been able to get TWRP to start correctly twice in the last 40 times I've tried to boot up the phone.
Question: I noticed that TWRP has a button where you can enter a terminal command. I don't have adb set up yet on this machine, since reloading it. I would imagine the answer would be 'no', but is it possible to put a different recovery image on the sd card, then use TWRP's terminal button to issue the command to flash it, or would that make matters worse? Or am I going to have to set up adb and odin again on another machine and use that? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: I should've stayed with CWM non-touch. :crying:
This worked for me:
reflash CWM, flash superwipe, install TWRP through goomanager.
i had the same problem on my t989 and this odin flashed version posted here worked fine

I flashed that version through Odin and it seems to be running just fine. I wiped caches and now TWRP appears to be working normally :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Wow I guess I didnt read the critical part where your stuck on the recovery boot screen so the attachment below wont help.... JUMP DOWN TO POST #21 AND FOLLOW IT TO RECTIFY THE GETTING STUCK ISSUE
Here, try this file guys. Someone over in the Jedi threads made a CWM flashable TWRP zip. You can thank me for bringing it to your attention if you want, but I did not create this ( I just clicked on the attachment paperclip for the thread and browsed through all the attachments because I knew I saw it somewhere in the development section...)
I also checked TWRP's own website and for the Hercules, v.2.3.1.1 is the latest version supported for our device so far but I only found 2.3.0.0 packed in a recovery flashable form.
Just flash it via CWM like any other zip and once its done it'll reboot your device automatically to system, so just reboot it back to recovery to make sure it worked. It did for me when I did awhile back with v.2.2.2.0 and I just used the below file to flash and update it in TWRP to v.2.3.0.0
Hope it helps

Re-flash CWM
Re-install a version to TWRP that works

Currently the non-functioning TWRP. I tried flashing CWM from the Rom Manager app, but that froze too. Looking for a reliable fix. I do not have a preference for recovery.

If you have either I guess it doesn't really matter. Just install/flash the attached file below just like you would any other rom via your recovery.
After it installs reboot back into recovery and you will see the old recovery replaced with the latest TWRP for the T989.
Lemme know if this works for ya.

[Q] Bootloop help

I've been hitting boot loops left and right. After beups s-off method, I succesfully flashed custom recovery and a ROM, but I accidentally flashed an international version of a kernel. During the aroma installer it froze and I restarted the phone, but now it will not boot normally or into recovery. I've tried to flash the stock kernel but I still can not get into recovery. Any advice? I've tried different recoveries and erased fastboot cache before each flash
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I did a factory reset through the fastboot, reflashed the recovery img and wiped the recovery cache and it allowed me to run cwm. Then, since I was having issues mounting, I used CWM's sideload program in their recovery that allowed me to flash roms without having to put them on the SD card. Where are you stuck at?

In bootloader I clicked Factory Reset. It tried to load into recovery then looped again. I went back to Bootloader Flashed recovery Img and its still doing the same thing. How did you wipe cache without loading the recovery?

After reboot everything is slow and jerky, phone unusable!

Guys I have a big problem!
For about a month I have on the galaxy nexus rom slimkat + kernel dfk and until tonight I had not any problems, until this evening the phone has rebooted and the disaster happened, the boot animation was jerky and the phone has put more than 5 minutes to power, however going slow, and even after I have booted the phone is super slow, it's all jerky and unusable.
From recovery I tried to wipe system, but even if the message confirming correct operation, it really does not matter because if I reboot the phone loads the system, even if ever so slow and jerky.
I also tried to use the Nexus root toolkit but nothing, when I try to reflash stock hangs the command "writing system" and does not go forward ... I do not know what else to try.
I also tried using fastboot commands, but nothing changes ... not the operations are successful and the changes are not applied.
Please help me! Thank you very much!
Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik cache and internal.. Then flash stock factory image and then install roms
Wipe from recovery do not work.
I tried to flash from toolkit the stock factory image, but hangs on the command "writing system".
There is another way to flash it??
Yes..you can to flash another recovery with nexus root toolkit. Boot into android and enable usb debugging in dev. options, connect gnex with PC and flash recovery (cwm or twrp or philz, not STOCK) and then wipe..

I've tried, the procedure seems to be successful but the recovery does not really change.
I also tried to flash the stock rom with odin, well after the half-hour procedure is successful, the phone has rebooted but nothing, everything remained as before, with the old rom.
I do not know what to think anymore, I try recovery, toolkit, fastboot and odin but nothing.
I came to doubt that it may be a hardware problem with the internal memory of the phone, do not you?
Thank you!
Try to boot into recovery temporary with nexus root toolkit if you can't to flash..this can help to wipe all and brick gnex

I do not know what to do!
If you wiped, system can't be rebooted. I really don't have more ideas
Maybe you have problem with hardware.

Device will not flash any recovery in fastboot

My device decided to randomly encrypt itself after using the CM12 port that is available. How this happened is beyond me. Anyhow, I tried to do a factory reset... Nothing would mount because the device was encrypted. So, I thought it would be a great idea to flash a different recovery. By now, I have flashed over 6 recovery images (all different) even the stock. Fastboot says that the transfer went through successfully only to find when I try to boot into recovery, it boots into fastboot instead.
Yes the device is unlocked.
I don't know if there is a ROM on it, but when i try to start it normally, it wont boot past the splash screen (before the boot animation)
Please help, as this is the only phone I am stuck with for a long time
Here's a thread with people that have a similar problem. There are some suggestions of what to do in there, but personally none of them worked for me. I ended up having to send it back to Amazon.

Never factory restore when you have a Custom ROM as it isn't made to reset with the devices stock hardware and causes things to go crazy.
Always use a nandroid of the original system with root, then unroot, then factory restore from that.
Also. YouTube search - HTC Desire 816 root unlock bootloader.
Use the .exe recovery from that video in fastboot at least twice without exiting fastboot or rebooting.
Now try the recovery.
