[Q] Stuck on Yellow Triangle Without Recovery Option (Was: Is it bricked?) [Fixed]

I rooted and installed an ICS ROM several months back on my Fire. One morning the wife brings it in and says my son got it stuck in some weird mode. Turns out it is stuck on the TWRP yellow triangle and does not seem to be able to get into recovery mode. I have done that several times before so I am pretty confident I am not messing that up. Just the power button never turns orange and eventually the device just turns off. My computer see the USB device but ADB does not. I did `android update adb` and then added '0x1949' to '~/.android/adb_usb.ini'. Do I have any options left or is it bricked?
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. Especially to any who can reply with suggestions.

ADB will not work because you're in fastboot mode. Use fastboot commands to install the new TWRP and change the bootmode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
Hold the power button to perform a hard shutdown and restart the device. You should then be able to launch recovery using the power button. If not, you'll have to flash the bootloader as well. If this is the case, be extremely careful you don't pull the USB cable during the flash or you will really brick your device.
Also, it is very important to know that the version of FFF you'll download comes in a .zip format to be flashed in recovery. Don not flash the .zip file directly to your bootloader partition. Instead, unzip it and find the "fff-u-boot_v1.4.bin" located in the cache folder and flash it.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader /path/to/fff-u-boot_v1.4.bin
fastboot reboot
If you were able to access recovery just by reinstalling it with the first command, push the FFF1.4.zip file to your sdcard and flash it in recovery. Just remember not to wipe anything before installation. That will help you to fix your bootmode problems a lot easier in the future by holding the power button untill the boot options appear at the bottom.

Did you hold the volume down button + power button to get to recovery mode manually right after flashing?
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk

If you have successfully unlocked the bootloader, you'll get a bootloader unlocked warning every time you boot. On the warning screen, click either of the volume buttons and you'll be redirected to a bootup menu. From there, you can select "boot to recovery" using the volume rocker and power button.
Alternatively, enable "advanced reboot" in developer options and reboot to recovery from the main OS power menu.
If these don't work, reflash TWRP using fastboot. Make sure that you're using at least version 3.0.3-1, best to use 3.0.4-1.

Tried manually reboot into recovery but it just reboots,
I can sucessfully unlock as i have the warning on boot, but there if i go to the menu and press for recovery it just reboots, tried several tipes of recovery TWRP imgs
Any help greatly wanted

Download this version of TWRP (jcadduono's 4.0.3-1). Rename the file to something like twrp.img.
1) Make sure adb/fastboot is working on your computer (if you've already unlocked the bootloader, then I am assuming it is).
2) Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer. Open a command prompt where you can access fastboot.
3) Put the twrp.img file to the same folder where you opened your command prompt.
3) Enter
Code:
fastboot devices
in fastboot and make sure your phone shows up with its serial number.
4) Enter
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
to erase your current recovery
5) Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [B]twrp.img[/B]
, where twrp.img is whatever you named your twrp file.
6) Enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot into your main system. You can either reboot then use advanced startup to enter recovery, or press a volume button at the bootloader warning page to boot directly to recovery.

Sometimes it helps to use fastboot to boot the image directly after you flash it. This ensures you get into recovery since it loads it off your computer.
It should then work normally afterwards

Insufficient info.
Are you able to boot up? Are you able to boot to bootloader? Do you have TWRP and are you able to boot to it?
Is your bootloader unlocked? Are you rooted? Is USB debugging enabled?
Does "adb devices" / "fastboot devices" command find your phone? What ROM?

sorry ,
I think I am able to boot to the bootloader (but I cannot see it since my screen is broken)
my bootloader is unlocked , device is rooted and USB debugging is enabled
while pressing Power+Vol UP I can get into fast boot and see my device on fastboot devices
anything else I need?

To clear things up, TWRP is recovery and not bootloader. Fastboot is bootloader.
So, if you can boot into TWRP, you should be able to use adb commands. Try booting into it, then try "adb devices" and see if it's properly detected (adb reports device's serial number and status "recovery"). You can then use "adb pull" command to get your data.

Power + volume down should boot directly into recovery.

Ok, an alternative then:
- download latest TWRP .img file to your PC
- open command window in folder with the file (Shift + right click > open command window here)
- boot into fastboot (Power + Vol Down) - you said you managed that before - and connect the device to PC. If it's properly detected in fastboot, you can boot custom recovery with "fastboot boot <recovery-name>.img"
Phone should now restart and boot into previously downloaded recovery. Now you can try and see if adb works.
Easier option would be simply "fastboot reboot recovery", but that command is non-standard and doesn't work on OP3 if I remember correctly. You can try though, nothing to lose.

How to stop Stock ROM overwriting the Custom Recovery?

I was trying to flash a Custom Recovery(TWRP) on my Friend's phone(Realme 3) It was officialy supported by TWRP and was listed on their website so I downloaded the Custom Recovery. Then I unlocked the bootloader of his phone but yes a strange thing happened there after it asked for pressing the volume button to be pressed it unlocked the bootloader but after that there was option "Select boot type"(Not sure what it said). It had three options Boot to Bootloader, Boot to recovery and last Normal boot and also there was a arrow on the bootloader option. And there were some instructions something like volume up for select and volume down to move. But I tried every button but the arrow was stuck on the bootloader option. So I connected it to my device and used the "fastboot reboot" command to restart the device after restarting at the realme logo it was saying "You are unlocked you cannot be trusted" But after it booted normally and the phone was Factory Reset. After this in the Developer options the OEM unlocking was grayed out saying Bootloader is unlocked. Ok so we were successful in unlocking the bootloader. After that I pasted the twrp img file in the platform tools directory and put the command adb reboot bootloader and after the device was in bootloader I used the command fastboot flash recovery name.img to flash the recovery. It said sending and then writing in my terminal after that I used the command fastboot reboot and the the key combinations(power+volume down) for the device which used to get into recovery for that phone but this time instead of going into recovery it was in the bootloader. So again I tried fastboot reboot command and this pressing the power+volume up but the phone booted normally so this time I tries adb reboot recovery but it booted into stock recovery so again I tried flashing the recovery and tried using fastboot reboot recovery but it didn't work. And yes I know that after flashing the custom recovery the phone should first boot into the recovery but as I said neither the key combinations nor the fastboot reboot recovery command so what can I do to prevent the system from overwriting? PS: Sorry for long paragraph...

locked in fastboot mode Pixel 3XL

I was starting the process of installing a LinageOS ROM on a new or practically new Pixel 3 XL. I completed the stage where I installed the LineageOS recovery image using flashboot mode. When I got to the ROM install part I found I was in fastboot mode and no matter what I try I am only able to go to a blank screen or back to fastboot mode. I have made several attempts to get out using "flash reboot" or "flash continue" and one other I found in a forum. Nothing has worked. I am able to change the menu and get Start, Reboot Bootloader, Recovery Mode, Bar Code, and Power off. None of these options get me out. Anyone know a way out of this situation? Thanks

Try
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot

Thanks for the quick response. I have tried those commands. Unfortunately it did not get me out of fastboot mode
