[Q] Can`t boot into Recovery anymore

Hi,
as i wanted to run the latest cm11 nightlies i updated my recovery system from ext4 to twrp and can not boot into the recovery mode now to flash anything. unfortunatly the volume down key is broken since years too, so if i do a normal boot the phone gets stuck with a black screen. its rooted, s-off and everything, i have been running almost every cm10 and cm11 nightly this and the past year just fine, just with android 4.4.4. i had problems now, thats why the new recovery was needed. now usb drivers are still working and i can see the phone with adb via adb devices. but as soon as i type adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader the phone just does not respond anymore. i have basic knowledge of flashing roms, but i just cant figure out how to fix this problem. any expert here with a useful idea? would appreciate it very much, if i should add any additional information about the problem just reply what could help to fix this. thanks a lot in advance!
tldr: android 4.4.2 worked fine, updated recovery and wiped everything to flash 4.4.4, cant reboot into recovery now anymore

Fix it?

Sounds to me like you need to reinstall the drivers. You have to go into platform tools in SDK and open a cmd prompt there. In there you will be able to access bootloader

thanks for the idea, you get my hopes up. could you explain please how to open a cmd prompt in the sdk and access the bootloader from there?

OK. Find your SDK folder. Right click it,open file location. Find platform tools,right click it, open file location. Inside tools, hold shift right click and chose open cmd prompt here

When done, type fastboot devices see if PC sees the phone. There u will be able to flash the new recovery.

You have to be in fastboot mode
---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------
OK adb reboot boot loader..copy and paste the recovery in that platform tools folder(after loading boot loader) type fast boot devices.
---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------
If PC sees the device after entering fastboot devices. Then u may be able to flash the recovery.
Fastboot flash recovery "image file name."

You have to type adb reboot bootloader. Like that exactly

yeah i typed it like that, the phone just doesnt react. i will read what you mean with ruu and try all that. thank you for your help, maybe the phone isnt bricked

If you can't access bootloader ,more than likely its bricked

You can't ruu if you can't access bootloader.

Well I flashed by the firmware 2.22.1540.3 through hboot and now my phone is stuck on on the bootsplash screen I can boot into bootloader mode. My computer doesn't recognize that a device is connected so I can't use adb and I tried flashing twrp by using a custom ruu in hboot but it didn't work. Anyone know how to get a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM? Thanks in advance. I'm s-off and I have an unlocked bootloader and the zip was modified for my CID (CWS__001)

Does fastboot mode work? That's the best way to flash a recovery.
As far as the rom goes, you'd need to adb sideload or from twrp adb mode. Or I recently did it using a micro SD. I put the rom on the microSD with my tablet, poured out in the phone and flashed with twrp.

That's what it's supposed to do.
In a command prompt... Navigate to the folder fastboot is in and type "fastboot devices". If it returns a number, you're good to go! Flash recovery.

Are you in the fastboot folder? Doesn't sound like it. If you type "dir" you should see fastboot. Exe .
If you're having trouble, and don't know fastboot... You might need to read up first.

Until you get numbers returned from the fastboot devices command.... You can't do anything.

Need to repeat this here
10. Connect via Fastboot to PC (Hold Volume Up while inserting USB-Cable) and run
HTML Code:
fastboot boot boot.img (boot.img also in download section)
First restart?
That every time I restart is not Opened and shot \ A flashing LED

You have to fastboot everytime you reboot your phone

You should download adb/fastboot files from my Flashing Twrp in FFF bootloader with fastboot.exe
Step 1:
download adb-fastboot.zip
Create a folder in c drive named adb,
unzip/extract files,
copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, and fastboot.exe to adb folder.
Step 2
install Kindle Fire drivers
check drivers, open device manager, kindle should be listed
android phone>android adb interface
if not see my Driver links / Errors /verify drivers are installed correctly
if drivers are correct
Step 3
Open a Command Prompt (start>all programs>accessories>Command prompt)
change directory to adb folder with
Code:
cd\adb
adb devices
should get a return code back something like
Code:
123456789abcde recovery
if so enter
Code:
adb shell "cat /proc/cmdline"

shouldn't matter, but 2.8.x.x twrps are not complete, adb is flaky at best.
try to mount sd card
select Mount> check sd card> mount usb
do you get a removable disk pop up?

yah, adb is not working correctly, probably next step is getting a fastboot cable Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery

No

could try
in the reboot options choose fastboot or bootloader
and flash the bootloader and twrp like in the Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------
stock bootloader is just the kindle fire boot logo, I have no idea if selecting reboot>bootloader will cause it to stay in bootloader or it will continue to TWRP
to test use
Code:
fastboot devices
I would send command just before selecting reboot>bootloader

[Help] Zenfone 2 Hard brick

Guys please help me
I downloaded stock rom from ASUS Website and extract to get droidboot.img, boot.img and recovery.img. But after flashing them by fastboot, my phone just stuck at logo, i cannot access fastboot anymore. After staying at logo for about 1 minute it automatically reboot and repeat again and again
I found a guide show how to unbrick in the situation, but after booting and stuck at logo, my phone disconect USB cable and i cannot do anything
Please help

Same problem here, have you found a solution yet?

Same deal... any help would be appreciated. Can't seem to get to Fastboot or Recovery. I can get it to charge, and I can get it to hook up to PC and see MOOREFIELD in Device Manager with no driver, sometime for the Intel SOC stuff.

Code:
Flash temporary recovery.
Via xFSTK. helped me many times when I hard bricked my phone.
Use Asus flash tool to upload the raw file via fastboot.
Once upload you could enter recovery. And you'll see an "error" by holding volume up and power and quickly release the volume up. You'll be brought to The recovery menu (do this when you see an error occurred)
Now you'll see the option flash via adb.
Flash the full stock rom again via adb sideload.
You'll be on track back
Don't worry you won't lose your apps and files.
Bootloader gets locked and unroot.
You know what to do next mate.
Follow the link provided below.
P.s after flashing the raw file... You could only enter fastboot and you'll have endless loading on boot screen if you didn't enter fastboot. Your OS won't load until you flash stock rom via adb sideload.

I have tried that method but that did not work, because after booting up and stuck at logo my phone just disconnect USB and my computer cannot detect it

Looks like I have the same problem. Stuck with splashscreen without access to fastboot . Did anyone successfully fix this problem ?
