Also, if you get stuck on bootloop after unlocking bootloader (This happened to me couple times), do a factory reset in stock recovery to fix:
Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method and working CWM, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery!

So the CWM that was just updated by Koushik on CWM does not work properly or does it work? Was asking based on this
While CWM Recovery is still being fixed

Edit: There's no driver issue if it were on a Mac right? Especially adb sideloading the CWM SuperSu zip?

How do I flash the stock recovery? CWM isn't working and I tried to update the driver like in the video but couldn't find the "manta" that I needed to update. I'm just stuck in bootloop animation now. I'm downloading the stock image right now to try and flash it back to stock..

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!

I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd
*edit
I cleared cache through cmd and i got to the red triangle...thank ****ing the lord. DTWAZERE, I will remember tonight. Thank you for your help.

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

I follow the step and going on. Ive seen the done in CWMR. But the tablet cant boot.

How do we get back to stock? Might need to reattempt this.

If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!
NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

THIS WORKED!!
Youre a genius. thanks!

When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed. Am I missing something? Also if i try to do fastboot flash recovery it gives me an error message stating that it cannot determine the image filename for the recovery image.

Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
and downloaded the Nexus 10 file. extracted, and the actual files in the Nexus10Root folder.
Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.
After the 3rd command it booted right into android!

[Q] Boot loop on firefirefire as i try to enter recovery

Title basically says it all however here is the long rundown. so I installed twrp and fff using kfu. Everything but the recovery mode boots fine. Using normal boot mode it will go right into the regular kindle and load up so that I can access apps books movies etc. However when I try to enter recovery mode using either the kfu bootmode menu or the fff boot menu on the kindle itself it gets stuck in a boot loop on the fff boot screen. I don't 'need' the recovery part but it would be nice to have especially if I screw something up. Any help would be appreciated.

should / can i remove the twrp files before i do that?

mostly wondering because i looked at the cotr page and it said to upgrade you must delete the settings.ini file. Now i know i am not upgrading from a previous version of the recovery however could just installing cotr cause a software conflict with twrp?

I don't know why twrp would not be fine. Are you sure the file you installed was a good download? You may simply need to redownload/reinstall twrp.

No. By flashing a new recovery, the partition is completely overwritten. The only things that remains are the files saved to the sdcard. TWRP files on the sdcard have no effect on those for COTR and vice versa. The 'settings.ini' for COTR is located on the sdcard, which is why it needs to be deleted when upgrading.

i re-downloaded the kfu file 3 times and re installed twrp twice each i am reasonably sure that everything is fine unless the upload from this site is somehow corrupted

I just screwed my phone and can't figure it out.

HTC M8 AT&T
I have been dealing with this all morning and I am about to blow my brains out.
I thought i was running twrp but was instead running CWM.
Previously had Cyanogen Mod working fine on the phone no issue. Just wanted android instead
Tried to install Android Revolution from zip. Boom done. Reboot
Encryption. Try all 10 passwords i EVER use a couple hundred times it seems.
Fail. So i go back to CWM and try to reset phone to factoy. Gives me error "unknown volume for path /sd-ext/
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format
Data Wipe Complete
Boot up still asks for password try a hundred times again. Still nothing
Boot into fastboot to attempt to put TWRP on it. and no computer sees my phone in fastboot.
Any ideas how to save my phone?

Do you a nandroid backup? You can restore your phone and try one more time.
Tapatalked with my "refrigerator look" HTC one M8

Go me the noob. No nandroid.
Any other idea..

Do you get the ding when connecting the phone and are running a command prompt from the folder with fastboot binary and required files?

Adb won't respond unless you sideload or boot Into os.
Check your usb cable, make sure it's the original cable and you have fastboot drivers installed.

If you don't hear the ding then you either have a cable problem or a driver problem. Just re-install the drivers and check the cable

From what I seen you going to need to format the sd. You can see if twrp will format it but if that don't work try stock recovery and do a factory reset in bootloader.

As said if you get fastboot working you can flash a custom recovery or stock. You can then download a stock nandroid back up from the stock backups thread then flash the required backup from custom recovery.
All explained in that thread.

Hi,
I've really big problem and i hope that here i get sugestion...
1, I try flash new ROM to my phone. I copy ROM to "SD card" but in wrong version.
After this I into Flashtool get new Kernel and new ver. of TWRecovery. Then I go to recovery and start flashing as every time before...
2, But now I'm in bad sittuation. I can only get into recovery... When i want to go to bootloger, i can't. Every time when I go to bootloger from recovery, i'm back in recovery. Every time is phone reaction the same as I hold power up button+vol. up. And I'm only in recovery.
When I want transfer some ROM to phone, I can't. Cose when I Mount USB massstorage I see phone as "Elementary sys device". I have install ABD device drivers...
Changelog I can't get you, cose it's in "SD card"...
3, Please, Show me "the way" out of this sh*t... I use HTC HD2 few years, all time flashing. Now I use Xperia S for 3 yr. All time flashing. But now I'm in a wrong way ind can't get my phone to standby

Just a sec, what combination do You use to go into bootloader? Power up+volume up? That is not what Yo do, You disconnect the phone from cable, and then turn off the phone. Then just press volume up, and connect the phone. No other button is needed to be pressed.

So You can't even go into bootloader now? That's weird and also makes this a bit complicated! Because You need to be able to go into bootloader mode to flash a new kernel which has recovery. Hope You are pressing only volume while connecting phone to PC. Drivers are fine as You were able to flash a kernel earlier. Which Kernel did You flash first? If You are able to go into bootloader, then flash this kernel via fastboot mode.

Does anyone have a Nandroid Backup I could Use for the Z00AD?

Hey all, little embarrassing coming here for this, but I'm in a little bit of a jam. I'm new to flashing custom ROMs, and I was trying to flash my first today, and managed to screw everything up in the process. I can boot into Clockwork mod via my PC, and I can still do everything I need to from there, but I was stupid, and didn't make a Nandroid backup before doing so. So I was wondering if anyone here could lend me theirs that I could slap onto an SD card, and recover my phone with. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, this isn't an attempt to get personal information. I will take any backups you have, with or without an unlocked bootloader, with or without rooting, with or without custom ROM, anything. Heck, I'd prefer to have it as close to stock as possible, so I can do everything myself. I just need a bit of a bailout here.

Shameful self-bump. I could still really use some help here.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems I ADB recognizes the device with CWM running. Now I gotta see where to go from there.

Now I've encountered problem number 2: I didn't allow USB debugging for the computer I'm using (USB debugging is ticked in the settings [or at least I think it is], but it's not authorized for my PC). So here's the question: Can I authorize it through Minimal ADB and Fastboot?

Triple post, but it's with a question. I'm nearly positive that this whole ordeal is going on because I tried to boot into recovery mode with the TWRP app when no recovery was available. So now the question is, is there any way I can stop the phone from trying to boot into recovery so I can install a proper one?

Turn it off, then press volume up + power when vibrates, release power while holding volume up, then release volume up as well, it should boot into bootloader where you can fastboot a new recovery.

Tried that. Doesn't work. Like I said, it keeps booting into the psudo-recovery mode thing. I can't even boot into the bootloader from there.

that will help you - besides if you are silly enough to think anyone will just give you something like a backup, come on man, I am dumb but even I am not that dumb

Have u tried to boot into Fastboot from your Cm recovery? If not, there is a way to make the stock firmware flushable by twrp or cm recovery. I don't feel like typing the whole process but if u look around the forum for a sec u should find it pretty easily. Once u do that, everything will be factory again.

I have tried booting from CWM, but TWRP overrides it still. I'll look into flashing stock firmware through CWM though.
