Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?
I tried to install cm rom the day before. After rooting i flashed through oppo tools the twrp recovery and rebooted the phone. After that i have no access to recovery mode! Pressing power button and volume up or down does the same thing! Gets me into fastboot where it says to press power button for 6 secs to reboot. I have access to color os but cant flash any recovery! Tried flashing stock recovery mode and some others too, tried to flash stock rom again but nothing! I also used recovery installer where i can install gummy twrp but when i press to boot at recovery mode the program downloads boot.img but then i get the message "bootimage incomplete or not signed"! What else have i to try? Any solution?
Same with me, and now I can't find a download link for the recovery because oppoforums are down?
I found solution following that link:

Flash this package, mates.
To boot into recovery:
- Turn off the phone.
- Hold Power + Vol Down.
- When the Oppo logo appears, let go of the Power button, but still hold down the Vol Down button.
That's it.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Z1C.
I used CM 12.1 quite a while now and I wanted to know how much difference is to Android 6.
So I downloaded the Remix Resurrection rom and flashed the boot.img in fastboot mode to replace the CM-recovery with TWRP. That was a bit tricky, because CM deleted TWRP again and again and booted in the CM-recovery.
So, finally I got TWRP working, after booting directly into the recovery after flashing the boot.img via fastboot.
TWRP now told me, that no OS is installed. I tried to wipe the phone and to install the RR-rom, but the recovery always said that it has the wrong version (?).
So I flashed the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod-zip and was able to boot into CM again. But now there seems to be no recovery on the phone. Whenever I try to boot to the recovery, the Sony logo appears and the notification light turns into orange, but then it starts again to do so.
At the moment I try to boot into CM again, but I think it has stucked in a bootloop...
What can I do here? The only thing what works is to boot into fastboot mode, but without the system.img I cant flash any roms there. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Shut down your device and press volume up button while connecting it to your computer. Then it will boot into fastboot mode and you should be able to flash stock firmware in flashtool, and then you can start from scratch.

Another option is to follow this guide to install Recovery and When done you can boot into Recovery and flash a custom rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719

Try Rashr app from play store. It sounds to me like incompatible kernel/recovery combo. Download a recovery IMG, (latest TWRP, for example), then use Rashr to flash it. You can also use it for flashing a boot IMG. Its probably the same reason you had trouble flashing ROM.
Besides that, you can install real recovery, which works the same regardless of the kernel-

Okay, after flashing it with flashtool it starts again. I now put the RR rom with Android 5.1 on.
I have again the CM recovery, but at least it starts how it should.
I will try to flash the real recovery, thanks!
Update:
Currently running RR with Android 5.1.
I would now like to use RR with Android 6, but again, I can only boot into the Cyanogen recovery, which cant make a backup of the currently running OS. I have tried to flash the boot.img from RR 5.1 with fastboot, Rashr, but nothing seems to work, as it puts me back to the Cyanogen recovery every time. How can I replace the Cyanogen recovery?
And one more question: When the phone starts, the notification light turns into red before the Sonmy logo appears and then turns into pink. What does the red light mean?

You need a recovery img, not boot img. Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65361797&postcount=78 or this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719 Open Rashr, choose ' recovery from storage'.
Okay, i flashed the 2.8.6.0 version via Rashr and now Im stuck on the Sony logo...the notification light is orange all the time, but I cant restart the phone anymore...any suggestions?
Edit: Worked! Used the combination between power and Vol+ to reset, and now it starts!
You should disable CM Recovery Protection – On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the ‘Update recovery with system updates’ option. Otherwise it will keep installing cm recovery itself.
Hi Team,
I am unable to boot into recovery mode. I just have installed OOS 3.5.2 rom through TWRP 3.0.2(1). I am able to boot up the device. Once I complete the setup process, I turned on Advanced options in developers and selected the boot in to recovery.
Device is restarting and then it is stuck at 1+ logo.
I have tried it through boot loader (Vol down and then power button) to start the recovery mode but is also showing 1+ logo and then device got turned off.
Any idea about the issue? Unable to restore backup.
I am completely stuck.
Plz help
Try booting into fastboot flash this version of Twrp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68691560&postcount=56
Hopefully that will do it but you may need to boot into Twrp right away and reflash twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img from within Twrp and hopefully it will then stick.
It just worked like a charm.... :good:
3.5.2 Broke TWRP compatibility, there's a new unofficial TWRP available but I can't link to it at present. Although looking now it's in the last post.
Have anyone got a bug with TWRP Recovery And CyanogenMod 14.1 ?
I have flashed this rom and everything seemed cool until I have tried to boot into Recovery Mode.
When I try to boot into a recovery mode, OnePlus logo with Powered By Android shows and after that the two physical buttons on the sides of fingerprint scanner lights up (the two dots) and after few seconds it seems like OnePlus 3 turns off itself rather than booting into the recovery. I have tried to turn on the OnePlus 3 but to do that I need to wait up to 1 minute and then I am able to turn it on again otherwise it doesn't turn on if I don't wait and this happens every time when I try to enter Recovery Mode. I have tried to re-flash the TWRP Recovery couple of times via fastboot but it doesn't do anything, the same thing happens. I guess that TWRP Recovery is not compatible with Nougat ? However, this rom recovery (downloaded from CyanogenMod website) seems to work but it doesn't allow me to flash any .zips from internal storage and also doesn't support encryption so it's useless and I can't do anything with it.
Is there anything I can do to restore CyanogenMod 13 or get a recovery to work so it would restore the advance settings and allow me to flash .zips again ?
Ohh and the recovery I use is from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733)
Use this recovery and flash using fastboot. You know how to use fastboot right?
