Can only boot into fastboot mode anymore

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-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/general/bootloader-devices-real-recovery-t3096837

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.

Hii,
Still the problem remains same I will explain in detail
I am back to cm14.1 when I flashed twrp from the above link
When I tried to flash some other ROMs they are flashed but screen goes blank after oneplus boot animation,
If I flash 14.1 ROM it is working fine
From cmd non of the recovery where flashed only the above is working
Plz help me
I want to go back to stock soon

It's because of the system partition rewriting issue. People in the cm and other communities are already working on it. Basically the boot partitions get rewritten when we install the cm 14.1 . It happens to some variants while others works fine. Just the issue because of not enough testing. Will be sorted out within time.
What you can do is. Use flashify app or fastboot from your pc and flash your twrp back after installing and booting into the cm 14.1. You can use any twrp no modified versions needed as far as it is supported by your device model. Ciao. Hit thanks if i helped.

I had the same problem as OP, got stuck with the CM 14 and did not like it (to early, to many bugs)
Wanted to go back to CM 13 but was unable to get into TWRP, and unable to flash CM13 back. Tried with fastboot and adb sideload, nothing worked.
The modified TWRP let me do i full wipe of the phone, (wiped Data, Dalik/ART, and system.) then copied the CM13 Stable release from here onto the phone, together with Gapps, and now everything is back to normal.
Again thank you, and thanks XDA! Somehow you always manage to save my ass after i messed with my device

Just flash the twrp image file again. The one you used before. Just flash it again. The same way you did back then.

I cant get to recovery on my oneplus 3

So recently i flashed the new cyanogen 14.1 nightly rom but it said their was an update but after i installed it it tried to go into recovery and wouldnt start. I shut it down and it would only go into fastboot mode and show the boot image. after this i downloaded fastboot and adb files and a tool kit and it now boots into the actual rom but still not recovery. so how can i get the recovery to pop up? iv already tried to flash twrp again but it still didnt load. and i even flashed the stock recovery and still wouldnt boot up. if anyone knows a way i can fix my recovery it would help alot. :good:

I have exactly same problem as you k hope it's a problem with the new cyanogenmod 14.1 nightly if not may try to change the kernel? I'm looking around too

Same problem here.... I installed TWRP and Dirty Unicorns on my One Plus 3, but immediately had a host of problems (including home key not working). I then flashed the most recently nightly (cm-14.1-20161119-NIGHTLY-oneplus3.zip). It booted fine, but now I cannot get into recovery. Any attempt to boot into recovery will put me back at the unlock warning screen... The phone is functionally useless at this point, because it doesn't even have gapps on it.
How can I restore this phone to a usable state (i.e., enter recovery to allow flashing of gapps)?

official twrp doesnt work with community builds and cm 14.1. You have to use modified twrp 3.0.2-22. the link can be found easily in official cm 14.1 forum on xda.

Recovery issue flashed but unbootable

Hi fellow G4 owners I have ran into quite a bothersome and weird issue after flashing a recent nightly of CM 13.1 on my g4 , I realized I couldn't boot into my twrp anymore , it seems to boot in what I think is the phone's factory recovery only displaying a few lines of text that are all related to the my bootloader's unlocked status .... Ive tried reflashing the recovery many time through flashify and adb , it doesn't change anything ....
Hoping anyone has already had that problem and could help. Cheers

Try
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you see twrp push the twrp image to your device and choose image at the bottom and flash twrp to recovery
Btw Download and use the latest twrp

Will try this and report !

Sadly it boots to the screen I was talking about in my previous post which actually happens to be fastboot not factory recovery my bad.

I did some flashing , apparently when trying to flash the latest recovery the flashing goes well but then I get an error saying there is a dtb error, I am unable to even boot it through fastboot.
I managed to flash twrp's 2.8.7.0 version but again if rebooting to recovery through adb command it takes me to the same fastboot screen however I am able to boot to this version of the recovery via fastboot commands and that's the only way I can actually reach a recovery .....
Hoping that helps in any way for other peeps in the same situation , I'm gonna try to flash a more recent rom will report once done !

Oh How do you try to get into recovery??? Which key combo?
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs

The volume key power button combo strangely never worked on my G4 I use either the advanced reboot on the phone or through ADB.
I just flashed the lasted cm 14.1 nightly after flashing an older twrp and booting into it , with that version I can boot into twrp with no problem but after flashing the latest twrp the problem reappeared .... This is so weird :/

The only valid and always working and supported way on getting with a key combo into twrp is using the factory reset screen.
Any other key combo like vol up + power depends on the kernel of the ROM! So it may work or not. Factory reset will work always.
for this you have to ensure that you have the latest twrp version really installed(!) because if twrp sits in recovery it will ignore the factory reset command when going through it.
Edit:
Check the faq in the official twrp thread for a howto.

[SM-P607] TWRP install issue (recovery boot loop)

Hi all, looking for some help here.
I picked up a pair of P607's to install Lineage on.
1. I flashed (via ODIN) the latest Samsung factory build from Sam Mobile (Now running 5.1.1).
2. Grabbed the latest TWRP tar file (twrp-3.1.1-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar)
3. Flashed TWRP via ODIN (AP button, selected the twrp tar, unchecked auto-reboot)
4. Held power button and turned off.
5. Powered back on and Held the [home - vol up - pwr] to boot into recovery to check TWRP.... and..... Recovery Boot Loop.
Odly enough, if I get it back into download mode and just boot it normally, it will boot fine back into the OS (stock rom, not lineage yet)
I can recover back to the factory by re-flashing the stock rom again, so it's recoverable.
I've tried with two different 3.1 TWRP versions now, twrp-3.1.0-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar and twrp-3.1.1-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar, both do the same thing.
Any ideas on this one?

There's definitely some odd issues with TWRP for this device...
3.1.1 Failed
3.1.0 Failed
3.0.2 Worked and boots into TWRP
Would be nice to get the latest TWRP working for this device, anyone interested in logs from the 3.1.0 or 3.1.1 attempts?

how did you get out of the boot loop? i cant seem to get back in to download mode

Today I got the same bootloop problem.
Impossible to enter the Download-Mode.
I removed carefully the Backcover and disconnect the battery plug for some seconds.
On the next start I´m holding down Vol- and entered Download Mode.
With Odin I flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 (same version like before) and its working again without loosing the installed programs.
I think you can also wait until the battery is empty .....
Hope it helps a bit to recover a great tablet.

Most ROMs here install fine with 3.0.2. That's what I am using on my 607T.
