Can't flash any custom recovery, recovery mode goes 'missing' - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ze551ML / Z00A / rooted
-
When this happens I can reflash back to stock recovery and it works fine. I've been attempting to install the CM12 nightly and making use of the links provided for recovery images it supports:
http://downloads.codefi.re/jrior001/zenfone2
-
I also tried official TWRP, tried using TWRP Manager app, and in every case recovery mode disappears.
I'm having the undetected SIM1 issue and have seen others report this issue was resolved when they installed a custom rom. Thus far, due to this recovery issue, I've only been able to install official Asus images.
Any help is appreciated.

I had the same issues 2.20.40.97 , I have given up I am also having the screen issue with my phone. where 3/4 of the screen is all messed up.

You can up stock, but stock not use custom recovery, you need up stock recovery or up stock rom with adb ) good luck

Yup, my bootloader was unlocked & phone was rooted. had the same problems as the O/P.
UPDATE.. I was able to install cm-12.1-20151011-UNOFFICIAL-Z00A.zip 2015-10-11 01:29 Using Windroid UIniversal Android toolkit. and it worked. and TWRP also the recovery.

TWRP Reset My Display Setting Everytime

It happened with me twice on Lg F220 & LG G2Ls980, stock lollipop firmware and TWRP Recovery was installed on both devices, i just rebooted the device to recovery mode to see which version is installed and explorer the different setting(i didn't activated anything) and reboot back to the system, now every time the device starts, the brightness level go to 100% and screen off time to 2mins. this happened on both of the devices, can some tell me what caused that problem.
Now i have bought an LS980 for myself, i have successfully rooted it and now its time to install a recovery, personally i love 4ext recovery but unfortunately it is not available for this device, i have only option to install TWRP, but now am afraid that if i installed it same problem will occur to me :crying:
""My device has Stock LS980ZVA installed""
Insert sim card or use custom rom. Its not a recovery deal

Never experienced that, after installing a version of TWRP, upgrade to Blastagators TWRP 3.0.2.1 bumped & signed. I don't have the link handy, but searching should find it for you. But i agree, i have never had this happen on any version of TWRP recovery -i thinks it's un-related.

I can't reflash stock recovery

Hi, yestarday I flashed CM 14 with TWRP to try it, and today I have tried to return to stock rom & recovery but I can't do it. At the beginning I have tried to flash stock recovery that I have downloaded from op.net with fastboot and I couldn't do it and after I have tried to do the same process but this time flash it with TWRP and also this time I couldn't able to fix it. In fine I have installed the stock ROM via TWRP and I managed to install it but now the problem is that I still can not install the stock recovery and accordingly I can't install op3 update.
An another problem is that I have tried to re-lock OEM from fastboot and when I try to turn on the phone, is asks me a pin to enable it and I don't know that pin because I haven't set no one

No it isn't. Because I managed to put stock ROM into it via adb with push command and after I have installed it from twrp that works. My only problem is that i can't flash stock recovery.
i have the same issue. Tried many times but i'm getting a black screen after one plus logo for both stck recovery and unmodified twrp. only moidified twrp is working. please let me know if u find a way to resolve this.
thanks in advance

you can reboot in to stock recovery without any issues?? I think I should give it a try. And you are saying the bootloader is locked again ?

Great. Can I place the file in beta8 rom .zip file and flash it using adb ??
If this procedure doesn't you can download an older version of oxygen os and update it via ota. At the first attempt when you will try it will give you an error and at the second attempt It will download all the ROM again and it will reflash by itself

I suggest you to try at the beginning with the beta 7 because if that procedure not work for you, you can't downgrade to beta 7.

Thank you.
Will let you know if it worked.
I had that problem.
Solution as follows, worked everytime for me: (I have not tried this method with the newest beta 8)
1. Flash OOS 3.2.6 firmware in twrp.
2. Reboot to fastboot and flash official oxygen os recovery downloaded from the OnePlus website. (This is still the old version for some reason, thus why it won't work)
3. Side load community build with oxygen os recovery, this will flash the new firmware back and update the recovery to be community build compatible.
4. Before rebooting erase everything (factory restore)
5. Reboot to OOS, finish setting up.
6. Turn on advance reboot in developer settings.
7. Reboot to recovery via the reboot menu. First time boot into the recovery may take sometime, but it has always worked for me.
8. After everything looks good, go ahead and OEM lock in fastboot, recovery should work as usual this time and format your phone
OP did you find a solution to this?? Im on the same boat as you

[H815] I think I screwed up my phone's software

Edit:
I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!
Hello!
I was running CM14.1 on my LG G4 and a few days ago I decided to install a new update but from within the phone itself. Sadly, it just rebooted to the recovery and didn't install anything. And from there, it always rebooted into the recovery no matter what I did. I also did a full wipe and installed CM14.1 clean but it still rebooted to the recovery and didn't want to go past that. I made a Reddid thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/5gcap3/g4_h815_cm_141_help_i_cant_boot_outside_of/.
So I got help with that - I got into Download Mode and flashed the stock software via LGUP. Sadly, after I did this, I can no longer install a custom recovery. The phone is not rooted and LGUP and LG Bridge don't recognize the device anymore and the phone says there isn't a new update available but it's on the 5.1 stock ROM.
Whenever I flash the TWRP image via fastboot and I reboot into recovery, it doesn't boot into TWRP but it boots into some kind of other fastboot mode. And I've tried to issue `fastboot boot twrp-x-x-x.img` but it fails to do so and shows `FAILED (remote: dtb not found)`.
Is there a way to fix this so I can flash CM again?
Thanks in advance!

The bootloop to recovery is a known issue of one the December nightlies of CM 14. Head over to the CM thread and search for bootloop and twrp. They provided a solution to solve this too.
Besides that: which twrp version do you tried to fastboot? H811 or h815? Taken from the official download site?

twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img, H815 as the title says and from the official website as I've always done. As for the thread - I don't have TWRP and I can't even flash it as I've written in my post. That's what I'm struggling with.

I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!

Caught in Recovery Bootloop

Recently I flashed through TWRP Resurrection Remix new 7.1.1 Nougat on my Tmobile Note3. Was working great. I had the newest twrp 3.0. I was looking at a custom ROM that said I would need CWM so I downloaded CWM from Google play and I ran it. I decided to back up through CWM and it rebooted my phone. My phone rebooted into recovery, and is stuck in recovery bootloop now. It keeps rebooting into recovery. I tried to fix by taking out battery for a long time but when I turn it on againit goes back to recovery in the loop. It can power into download mode. I don't know what to do in that mode though. Please help me. If I'm to use a computer to flash a different OS please include all links to find the downloads as well as the links for finding the usb drivers. Anyone know what I'm to do?

I find it odd that you would find a ROM that suggests CWM instead of TWRP, but the way I see it is you go back to Resurrection Remix or try to flash the new ROM you found with TWRP (2.8.7 is recommended)
You can download the .tar file for TWRP 2.8.7 here: https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar.html
For clearer instructions, you can visit this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393
These are instructions to flash back to stock, root and install TWRP 2.8.7
I suggest right after doing this, you flash the ROM you want, that will guarantee a "cleaner" installation of the ROM
Good luck!

Thank you for your help. I did all the clear instructions from the thread. I couldn't get the CF auto root to stick. Also couldn't find a surfboard for TWRP 2.8.7, they only have 2.8.0 on the TWRP site, or TWRP 3.0. Ultimately I've got my original factory stock lollipop back. I'm no longer rooted. I had rooted before through KingRoot. I tried again and it says that I'm out on a list for root for my phone. So my phone works again. I guess I should be happy with that.
If you want to root, you could try flashing cfautoroot with Odin.

I did try to flash CF auto root with Odin after I flashed back to the stock ROM. But it didn't work. It stayed stuck on the T mobile screen for a very long time. So I just gave up trying to root again and stayed with the stock ROM without root. Thanks. Maybe I'll try again and see if it'll work next time.
Flashing twrp with Odin and flashing supersu from twrp had always worked for me.

OK. Thanks. Also, which version of TWRP? I can't seem to find a download for 2.8.7.0, only for 2.8.0.0 and 3.0 on the official TWRP site. Also where can I find SuperSu? Do I flash SuperSU with TWRP once TWRP is on phone? I read somewhere that the best version for TWRP is 2.8.7.0, but I can't find it anywhere.

Flash twrp using Odin. Olen Odin, do not check anything except f reset time. Flash twrp. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable from phone, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery, connect to computer, copy supersu to phone memory, flash supersu from twrp.

About bootloader (4.4.2 KK)
Hi,
I've just got a SM-P905 on 4.4.2 kitkat (stock). I'd like to flash one of your ROM (probably the LOS 17.1) and this recovery first.
Should I just flash it through Odin or do I need to unlock the bootloader? In that case, could you please drive me to a tutorial? I've searched a lot on this forum on howto unlock the SM-P905 bootloader (or just if it comes -the 4.4.2 version at least- with an unlocked one already) but I haven't found anything on it.
Thanks in advance

Flash TWRP only, through Odin.
Then flash ROM, GApps, and optional Magisk, through TWRP.
Magisk needed for root-apps, or to hide root.
(flash bootloader and modem not needed, only sometime later, if your modem are to old, and SIM not working)

Done a couple of days after my post. Forgot to report. Then flashed LOS 17, gapps (pico) and Magisk. Everything's ok.
Thanks for your answer.
Anyway, now it can be said that the P905 with stock 4.4.2 KK has the bootloader unlocked.
Hi, I've downloaded twrp-3.2.2.0-viennaltexx.img.tar and flashed by Odin, but twrp doesn't installed. In Developer settings I have not OEM unlock option.

What is your actual stock firmware on it?
You can try latest official .tar and then work your way up to this.
