ze500kl doesn't boot into recovery no matter what .img I flash - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I had a Cyanogen rom since some years and now I tried to go back to the stock rom. I followed this tutorial and flashed recovery.img just fine, but when I press Pwr/Down vol nothing happens, it remains in the "Asus in search of incredible" screen.
I tried flashing every recovery img I could find but it's always the same. I can enter fastboot mode, load any recovery image but that's it, I can't boot into it after that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..

[Q] wont load into recovery

Hi I was following the instructions here:
http://androidforums.com/wildfire-s...-how-root-wildfire-s-a510e-gsm-s-finally.html
I got to stage 4A when I have to fastboot the recovery. It seemed to work alright then when I tried to load into recovery it just went to black screen. So I did the alternative and tried to flash TWRP recovery but now it just restarts my phone when I select recovery in the Boot screen.
What shall I do?
I dunno if it is related but google play cannot connect. Everything else works ok.
Maybe if I put the original recovery back on it i can try to get clockwork or the other on there again? Is it because I have a more recent version of the hardware?

Phone can boot into fastboot, and system but wont go into recovery

Hi guys i flashed the 3.5.3 CM today but i decided to go back with 3.26 again, so i followed a guide that tells me to install stock recovery over twrp before i install the rom but after i fastboot flash the recovery i cannot go into the recovery anymore.
i tried to flashed the modified twrp and then boot to recovery but still wont open it.
the phone works and can go into fastboot still but it just wont access recovery

Is your OS booting?
yea
Got the same problem here. Can boot into system and fastboot but if boot to recovery i get the oneplus logo and the bootloaderscreen and then i get a black screen where i should get my recovery. And if wanna Force shutdown my oneplus it freezes somehow. I tried everything to fix this with no result. Stock recovery doesnt work too.
Hi I just had the same problem, I have sent it back to Oneplus for repair. According to the ticket, I had a faulty motherboard, which has been replaced. If you can, do it. I only had to wait for a week before it was sent back.
Had the same problem last night. Following method nr 2 in thos thread solved it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3405700
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
using fastboot to wipe the recovery partition then fastboot flashing modified twrp twice worked for me, i think the oneplus recovery image thats doing the rounds doesn't want to play nice lol
If youre phone boots in to system, download Flashify from play, flash recovery.img (you need to extract .img file). Go to recovery to check if it works. If not try other recovery.
after flashing the community build i cant boot my device in fastboot mode, it wont start the recovery or boot the system sucessfully.

If your device is unlocked, flash the recovery.img from fastboot.
You can download TWRP for oneplus 3 from their site.
Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img.
And open fastboot in the path of the recovery image.
Use the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hopefully this helps

managed to fix it the other day, by flashing the modded twrp.. somehow that one worked after that i flashed the 3.26 plus the 3.26 modem ones because if i didnt, my touch screen wont work...
For me, I flashed the twrp from fastboot.
But still the 1+ logo shows when I try to boot in to recovery for 5 sec and shuts down with 2 dots of lights in the navigation button area
The normal boot is working fine. Did flash the recovery using apps like TWRP Manager, Flashify etc. It will show successfulll. But when I try to boot in to recovery, same result.
Please help

Z2 can't boot into recovery.

Hey guys. So here's the thing. I unlocked the zuk's z2 bootloader using the standard method (fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img, with the img they sent me via email, and then fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go), and then I went to flash the TWRP recovery. I downloaded the recovery image from the official twrp website and proceeded to flash it with "fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp.img". The flashing was successful. But before restarting the device, I chose the option to boot into recovery, so that the original recovery wouldn't overwrite TWRP. However, the phone does not boot into the recovery, ever. It "shuts down", tries to boot into recovery, and without showing anything on the screen simply restarts to the normal system. Even flashing a stock ROM in the phone with MiFlash (relocking the bootloader) and trying to boot into the stock recovery does not work.
And, the only method to boot into any recovery that works is to use "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot recovery.img". But as we know this isn't permanent.
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text, I wanted to make sure what I said was clear Please help guys, what should I do??

Why not flash twrp as an image file while in non permanent twrp? And while you're there flash supersu too.

I did manage to flash a custom ROM, GApps and Magisk with the temporary TWRP and everything worked. But I just flashed the TWRP image as you said and the flash was successful, but the phone still doesn't boot into recovery
WTF is going on?? Its kinda like the image is being flashed correctly, but the phone fails to access the recovery partition to boot it... Halp!
Edit: Flashing via flashify also didn't work...

As that window on boot shows that in 5 sec. to push anything, choose from that window Boot to bootloader, from there using volume buttons choose boot to recovery, it will reboot, wait those 5 secs and immediately after that window gone keep pushing both volume buttons and it should boot your recovery - it's the same for me and idk why

As you said, is a patience problem:
I had the same problem and beeing serious I was very desperate, I tried and tried for weeks and nothing! BUT BRO! It was just beeing patient! You did it! You flashed the TWRP, now is just to wait!:
1. Turn on your device
2. Press volume keys to enter to the fastboot menu
3. Choose Recovery
4. Now the device will reboot and show the same thing as always(ZUK,Bootloader is unlocked,blablabla.), and here is when all starts, YOU NEED TO WAIT 5 SECONDS BRO!, AND THEN IT WILL BOOT TO TWRP!
5. Thats all, you're on!
P.D.: Apologize me for bad english :'v

razer phone stuck in logo after install twrp any help please ??????

i have razer phone 2.
I installed twrp via fastboot then I got stuck on logo screen
now I can not go to recovery mode I can just go to fastboot and flash any rom
please i need help ????
er.. this actually needs to be in https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2 (note -2) !
dunno for sure, but would think you can "fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img"
Be sure to opt out of installing TWRP app, as that can cause bootlooping.
HTH
Hello i have the same problem, and i couldn't find a solution anywhere...
Please Help !!
Edit: what i did, i switched the partition to b, then flashed it with twrp recovery, then i tried to reboot to recovery, and got the razer logo stuck up there..
when i switch back to partition a, the recovery was the original one.

htc 820 stuck in recovery, cant boot to os.

hello I am trying to fix this old phone which keeps bootlooping. I can't get to the OS, and the bootloader won't show. When I try to go to the bootloader, I get to the recovery screen. I tried looking for an answer on google but all of the ones I found needed me to boot to the OS first. please link me to a tutorial for how to fix these, and explain like you would to a complete newbie. Thank you
This what you will flash the stock recovery of your phone since is booting into recovery. Now have in your sdcard the stock firmware renamed to whateva your line of desire is 0pjfimg etc. Now when your reboot your phone it will boot into the stock recovery there is an option for bootloader/hoot screen.The phone will see the firmware when it boot into bootloader. So and let me know ok.
