I "F'ed" Up!!!! Emergency!! - Motorola Photon 4G

I tried to root, good, I got Super User CWM, I cleared the cache as instructed. Tld me for clean install, format, I did, I cannot get past Duel-Core (I do see the stock "Fastboot?" Please get me out of this, PLEASE. I will pay or do anything, but i depend on this 24 7 for job! I'm sorry, help me!!

How did you root? Do you have unlocked boot loader or are you trying to keep bootloader locked?

Which CWM version are you using? the newest one doesn't work with our phone. I found that out the hard way the other day when i tried to flash an ICS rom. You need to fastboot into your phone and use a cmd prompt to install 5.0.2.7 recovery.
qbking77 has some videos around that show you how to do it.

Your second link is "Page not found!?" I found the video, but I cannot find the insructions to follow.

Did you try flashing the recovery zip?

Sounds like you already have CWM.... Did you unlock your bootloader?

All that should be needed here is for you to flash the correct recovery, which I linked above. Assuming you did a backup, you could just restore. I'm guessing you wanted to flash CM9, if that's the case, you'll need to flash that recovery, go to mounts and storage, format data, system and cache, wipe data/factory reset, install CM9+optional Gapps.

Yes, bootloader was fine, the link in the video instructed me to clear flash, dismount, and format for clean install. After that, nothing, just back to duel-core. I can get to the normal fastboot, thats it. I have RSDLite. The link I wes provided above takes me to your video, but I still get page not found on the instructions.

Power on holding volume down, when it says fastboot, press volume down until "android recovery", volume up to select, follow steps above.

You should just need to reinstall recovery.. Here is a link of a step by step video, give a huge thanks to QBKing77! Your bootloader IS unlocked, correct?

For future reference, when flashing roms, go to backup/restore in recovery and backup. Titanium just backs up apps, etc. Recovery backs up your entire system and all data. But the link I posted above and spleef referenced has the fastboot commands for installing recovery, from there you'll be good to go.

That was the video that got me here. I got into CWM, link told me to delete cache, then, "If I want clean install of CM9, unmount and format" FUBR big time then.
I saw a video where I can download file, and run dos commands so it will see phone and boot?

[Q] Can't enter into recovery

Hi,
I tried to uninstall a add-on by wiping cache and dalvik and re-flashing. For some reason now I cannot enter recovery anymore. Whenever I reboot into recovery I end up in bootloader.
I have turned off fastboot.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

thanks all for your help. I was able to use flash gui img to flash the recovery and now I am able to go to recovery.
you could also try to reroot it. use the revolutionary tool (www.revolutionary.io) and when the tool finishes, it asks you to install a custom recovery, just press "y" and it will do it automatically.

Hmmm... I am having the same problem today - tried flashing a new splash screen which didn't play nice with my phone. After trying to reboot into recovery, it goes straight to hboot and wants to reflash the image. I can't get into recovery to put the stock image back in.
Any way to fix this without adb, I can't use that at work because my laptop is locked down. Ughhh... gonna be one of those days!
Anyone know of a way to fix this and get back into recovery? If not I'll wait and do it when I get home tonight.
This just happened to me. I used Superwipe before installing a ROM update. When phone rebooted it stuck at bootloader. Can not get into recovery.

I downloaded the zip file and was able to open up FlashImage and flash the zip file (the software found the correct file after indexing the .zip file). I rebooted the phone and held down volume down to get to the bootloader screen.
The only options I have are:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Clear Storage
Simlock
Image crc
Show Barcode.
I have tried Fastboot, recovery, and factory rest but all just restart the phone. When I try to restart the phone, it cycles through the HTC loading screens and then reboots again.
Is there anyway to save my phone?

Relock and run an RUU from the fastboot menu
If you use flash image you don't need to hold anything it has the option to boot recovery, it is only for the kernel, from there you boot to recovery and flash the rom and that should be it
The phone wont boot, so flash image GUI is useless. Exactly why I suggest people dont use it
The op never stated whether they actually flashed the ROM, for some reason they booted to the boot loader manually?
The way I read it the phone will only boot to the bootloader

The thread linked is cm9 op states after flash image they rebooted the phone and held volume down, and get to the boot loader screen but stops there no where is it mentioned cm9 ROM was flashed which leads me to believe they never jumped into recovery to flash rom

I believe you are right. I tried to follow this step but could not verify it was done correctly.
The ROM is flashed seperately from the kernel, as soon as flash img is done it gives the option to reboot directly into the recovery, this is because the ROM is flashed next. Since you are going from sense to aosp you need to clear dalvik, cache, factory reset, then system wipe and then install and select your rom. Anytime you install a different ROM sense or aosp, you need to wipe the phone. Take a look at my guide, I go over the various issues that could happen and do my beat to explain why. I also list a ton of info in android in general

Considering the build script checks if the recovery is flashable:
subprocess.check_call('sudo fastboot flash recovery %s' % recovery_file,

that's without any doubt! I don't have the zip yet, so can you check if something is related to an sd card wipe??
people are reporting TWRP works ok, no recovery nor sd card wipes
The built-in installer DOES flash a new recovery (looks like a stock recovery, or maybe with their own modifications). I'm not sure if it wipes nandroid backups yet, going to check that next.

After installing through the "Ubuntu" method, which does flash a new recovery, I reflashed TWRP and checked and it does still keep the nandroid backups, so everything is still there. It's easy to go back to your old backup even after flashing the new recovery. Meaning, their process does not wipe the sdcard.

correct. if you dont flash using canonicals instructions, and only flash the 2 zip files, nothing on your boot or recovery is touched....
thats what i am trying to say here. if you follow the canonical way, it wipes everything, loads its own boot.img and recovery.img, then flashes those zip files.
we dont need their boot or recovery to make this work. if you already have cwm or twrp all you have to do is flash the zip files

All you have to do is flash it the same way you would flash any other Rom
I presume your using clockworkmod recovery?? Although I'm fairly certain the steps are the same on other recoveries
Put the Rom on your sd card. Boot into recovery. Then make sure to wipe data, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik cache. After you've done those three steps click on install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard. Then just find the Rom you want to use and flash it
I'm sorry if the above is what you've already tried
Also before you flash the rom. In the "install zip from sdcard" section there is something called "toggle signature verification". Click on that. Sometimes when a Rom doesn't flash I click that and then it works

If you've already got it installed then whilst your phone is turned off hold down the home and power button. This should boot you into recovery. Then just follow the steps in my previous post

I prefer to stick to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" with how I operate
Hmm I can't recall Rresurrection as a buggy rom. Works fine on my device.

Buggy ROM I was generalizing. But you can't get back to stock with cm recovery

Nah. You don't need pc. I use that rom as well.
Goto play store and search for rashr install give root rights. It will say it needs an update, update it. You will see a list of recoveries I go with philz. Download it, follow on screen instructions and you will reboot into recovery than you can leave that buggy rom.

Dude you rock!
This worked perfect. I have been trying to get a good Recovery flashed to go back to the Sony 270 ROM (Xperium) which so far is my favorite and were not able to flash it with my usual steps of Hotbooting Doom Kernel22. Used your steps and boom...got a nice recovery again instead of that super lame CM recovery. Seriously why do we get that junk now?
