I got the img of clockworkmod touch and silly me executed the following command
fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork.img
Now everytime I boot it goes into clockworkmod touch. I need to flash the boot.img of my kernel. I don't know how to go to fastboot just using volume and power keys as the volume up+power goes into recovery again. Please help.
Fixed - Luckily I had full backup made by clockworkmod a while ago, and was able to restore the /boot from it and got it working.
The complexity was that even the 'Power' + 'Volume down' that should bring up Fastboot, broughtup the clockworkmod touch since I had flashed it to the boot.

So I installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200985) a few days ago w/o much trouble. Today I updated the ROM to version 2.4 (first used wipe.zip and then the rom). When I rebooted my tab I got stuck at a bootloop (the ROM's logo keeps showing up) and it seems I'm unable to get into recovery.
AFAIK, I should get into recovery by pressing the VOLUME UP & and the power button simultaneously, but nothing happens when I do this. Getting into fastboot isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Can I access my recovery menu through the fastboot via the SDK manager? Did I use the correct buttons to get into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You should push on both Power Button and Volume Down buttons. Right after the Samsung logo shows, you will see two menus, let go of both buttons immediately and choose your recovery boot. i hope this will help your problem
So I have TWRP on but it was mistakenly the T-Mobile version TWRP so the touch screen doesn't work and I can't hold down Vol Up+Home+Power to go to Odin. And if I hold Vol Dow+Home+Power and release right when it turns off, it just will boot back into recovery! Is there a way to reboot into download mode or anything on the main screen of TWRP? ADB? Anything? So now I'm in recovery and I tested Fastboot and ADB to see if anything would work. I got ADB to work, BUT here's the catch. The device is "Offline." Check image below....
I bought a phone from China - JiaYu G4s. It came with Android 4.2.2, so I decided to install kitkat. Kitkat worked well, but I knew it is not enough. I found Cyanogenmod 12.1 for that phone. I installed it, but forgot to wipe /data and /cache and it was crashing. I tried to access recovery, but I didn't know how (Clockworkmod recovery carliv 4.4, I had a custom ROM, where when I long pressed power buttom, there was a option to reboot in recovery). My preloader never worked, so I couldn't access files from computer. So I rebooted my phone and in setting press factory reset. My phone rebooted to recovery and a sign "Processing" appeared. But It crashed and I had to reboot my phone. Now I'm stuck in boot animation, I can't go recovery, I can't access my phone from computer. I can't do anything (I think so). Can someone help me?
Power off your device then try these buttons one by one to enter recovery
1. Power button + Volume up + volume down(this one should work)
2.Power button + Volume Down
3.Power button + Volume Up
Try volume down + power button to enter the fastboot mode and flash your recovery or rom again
I just unlocked bootloader.
Then I installed TWRP.
Tried to backup all partitions, failed. Maybe because I didn't know the data password.
Rebooted into system.
Now I want to boot into TWRP to backup then wipe and install Lineage.
But it just doesn't work.
I select reboot from menu, then hold Vol-Up.
It shows the unlocked bootloader warning, then boots up system
I shut down and start again pressing Power and Vol-Up.
If I release Power when the bootloader warning shows, it again boots the system.
If I continue pressing Power then it does nothing else as showing the warning, showing black screen, over and over.
thanks
So what the hell?
The stock system does not offer a "reboot into recovery" menu?!
Solved it myself. Booted recovery via fastboot.
And that probably was the issue: I initially booted it via fastboot and did not install it ever.
Edit: no. Maybe TWRP was replaced by stock recovery automatically.
I unlocked the tablet and installed successfully TWRP on my Xiaomi Mi Pad 4.
But when I reboot it with volume down and power it always goes into smartboot.
Only way to go to TWRP is from console Fastboot boot twrp.img, but it does not always work
How can i boot directly into TWRP ?
Thanks.
You press the wrong key. To access recovery, you must hold Volume up + Power.
