Hi, I used to be able to use ROM Manager to flash clockworkmod recovery to my phone, but recently, something went wrong. Whenever i try to flash the new recovery, I select my phone model LG P500, and select old baseband(i know it is because im on mik 6.5.8) after a while, it tells me recovery flashed successfully, but when i try to boot into recovery, the phone goes into fastboot mode. it is very irritating, as whenever this happens, i have to wipe recovery, and then flash the older thunderg recovery through fastboot. can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Unreliable data connection? Rom manager has been known to flash incompletely downloaded recovery images resulting in fastboot.
Download the recovery you need from this page, put it on the root of the sdcard. Download the app Flash Image GUI , browse to the .img file on your card, select 'Recovery Image', and then 'Flash Image'.
or use this method:

If you tried flashing a rom with a custom kernel through rom manager it won't work. You have to flash that through fastboot. You say that your phone "boots up regular" as in boots into android?

Not all of your infmration is easy to follow or understand.
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
If flashing a ROM, pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img), push to sdcard and flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash a kernel, this is a great tool.
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
If you're issues are with not entering a custom recovery mode when following step 3, there are a few options. If you're able to boot into normal android mode w/o any issues and you seem familar with ROM manager, flash the custom recovery again from there.
My app, Flash Image GUI, also offers the same feature, select the recovery.img or PG86IMG.zip file off the sdcard and Flash Image GUI will flash it.
Another option is to flash it via fastboot: fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Hope that helps clarify!

If the device does not make it past the splash screen this usually indicates a bad kernel (or ramdisk) or bad flash.
Either flash the same recovery file again or download a new recovery file.
Sometimes a bad flash can occur, usually rare. Sometimes the recovery file can corrupt while downloading, usually rare. But these things do occur.
Good luck!
hello, I can't reboot into recovery. I am on th3bills kernel v 2.6.32.59 and aokp 4.1.2. I attempted to install th3bill's recovery and now when I try to boot into recovery the phone stops at the m logo. If I remove the battery the phone boots fine. I can get into fastboot, however i can't flash any recovery it just states no problem. I am having issues with my rom and would like to reflash. I have searched XDA and the web for solutions and have found helpful tips but none have worked. Thanks, Joe
GO here Start from reading "Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery". But download fastboot first. The link is given on the post. Extract it to C://
Then navigate it through command prompt. (I showed on the post with screenshot)
Then do the two command.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I included Romracer's recovery in the fastboot package. But TWRP recovery is better than that. You may try that also. (Just download TWRP recovery & rename it to recovery.img & replace it on C://fastboot)
So for some reason I can't get into Recovery. I was using TWRP just fine and running CM. I wanted to jump to CM 12 but had an older version of TWRP. I used their app to try to install a newer version. Now whenever I try to enter Recovery it freezes saying "Entering Recovery..." at the top. I tried to flash CWM using ROM Manager but same issue.
I just tried holding the power button and selecting Reboot>Bootloader. That worked, but selecting recovery makes it freeze with the "Entering Recovery..." as well.
I'm at a loss and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Use fastboot to erase cache, and then to install the latest TWRP (you can get fastboot flashable .img from the TWRP website).
Hello. I have d605 with 20g and root via kingroot. I want flash varcains CWM. But when i execute loki flash, it says loki aboot version does not match device and fails. When i try flash zip for flash from other recovery - try flash via stock 3e recovery, it says instalaion aborted and error 255. So i want flash it via app Flashify, but its risk. Did someone already tried it? And how to do it? Select flash zip (in flashify) and select cwm*.zip or unpack recovery.img and select flash recovery (in flashify) and put unpacked recovery img?
PS it can be also twrp, i want just working recovery for flash CM11
Thanks for help.

Features:
1 - Flash boot and recovery .img without even needing to go to recovery.

Which means you have to extract recovery.img from the zip file and flash recovery.img via flashify.
When I select flaah recovery in Flashify and select CWM .zip, it says i have to select file with .img file. And in that zip is the recovery.img file.

I think I explained it in a fairly simple way. You need the .img file, NOT THE .ZIP file.
It doesnt work . I unpacked recovery.img from cwm.zip. Then opened Flashify and selected recovery flash, and put unpacked recovery.img (before it i make recovery backup). It said flash successful and then i used reboot recovery. But it shows only black screen with text like "fastboot mode stared udf start". I must remove battery and put back, then it normal booted to android... Reboot to recovery always open the black screen with that text and is needed battery remove (fixed via recovery restore from backup in flashify, then reboot recovery opens stock 3e recov.)
Please What now? Thx
Hello, I'm kind of new at this (this is my first post) so be gentle
So, the last few days I've been trying to install a new rom on my phone (Redmi Note 4X) and the problems started with the model. I only seem to find Redmi Note 4 roms, and as I've come to find, mine is supposed to be the mido one (correct me if I'm wrong though). I have unlocked the bootloader, I have installed and enabled the fastboot on my phone, so the next step was to install the latest TWRP.
There came more problems; I tried doing this through the app and it just wouln't flash it. So I found a guide on how to root my phone and install a new recovery through adb and I followed it. It didn't work. I couldn't find the right twrp version for my phone. When I finally did realise my phone needed mido, I found the latest from the TWRP website. It wouldn't load through adb again. I found a thread about a fixed mido version, which finally worked for me. But my brother who was helping me, and isn't as much of a noob as I am (he has flashed rom and recoveries many times on his Nexus 5X), decided that I necessarily need the latest twrp if I'm going to flash a new rom, so he flashed the new twrp through the old one, and soft bricked my phone (I think). So I'm searching for a guide to unbrick it. (Which I can't seem to find to work at least).
To conclude;
I have unlocked my bootloader
I have access to the fastboot
I tried to flash a recovery
I failed many times, but I managed it
I flashed the latest twrp and bricked my phone
I don't have access to the recovery
My phone is still on a bootloop
I am not sure about which phone model I have
Help!
Thanks in advance.
1. Just check your phone model on its box. If its Snapdragon version (Mido), then just install it via fastboot. (code: fastboot flash recovery twrp-midoxx.img). If you are success, then try to reboot to recovery (fastboot boot twrpmido-xx.img). After booted, then you just manage to rom.zip you want to install. If you don't have it, then download it before from your PC and push it to your phone. Or just enable Mtp checklis from TWRP n copy that file to your internal phone/sdcard. Wipe all/factory reset except internal storage. Then you dan install rom.zip normally. N reboot. (Note: if you are on MIUI and wanted to always stay on it, just flash the file called lazyflasher.zip. n' wipe cache n art cache only then reboot). Flashing custom recovery on stock MIUI Will manage the device Going to bootloop)
2. If you have mediatek version (nikel), searching the fastboot Rom from miui website and flash it normally via fastboot. (SP Flash tool)
Warning: flash the wrong rom file into wrong phone Will make your device brick. So becarefull n knowing what model/code name you have.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I have the snapdragon version, but all I'm asking is how am I supposed to flash the lazyflasher without accessing the recovery? Through adb?

Firstly, enter fastboot mode on your device. Connecting to pc and flashing the twrp for mido. "fastboot flash recovery twrp-mido.img". Then boot to it using " fastboot boot twrp-mido.img". Then you will enter the recovery (twrp) in a second. Copy the lazyflasher into your phone (enable mtp first in Mount option in twrp) that you downloaded from pc. Just flash the lazyflasher.zip and reboot.
And why you don't want to flash lazyflasher when it very easy to flash it using recovery twrp? adb? You mean android debugging? Actually, you cant flash a .zip file into your system partition except through fastboot mode. However, fastboot mode (in cmd) only recognize a .img file. I just try to tell you the easier method to make your device boot up.

As I said above, I can only access the fastboot, and I get errors in the adb when I try to flash the twrp image.

Share your error please.
Try fastboot boot twrp.img
