Alright guys, I need some help.
I tried installing twrp using adp / fastboot. I thought everything was going well. Everything came up as finish, the blue bar was full for a good 10 min, so I issued the restart command, and crossed my fingers it restarted.
I stared as I hoped I didn't screw something up.... android seemed to load fine and go to the lock screen. I was relieved. :
So, I tried rebooting (PWR + Vol Down) and choose RCK to load twrp. Now it just sits there, at " Booting recovery kernal image" and dosen't go anywhere.
Any ideas?
My goal is to flash AndroWook HairyBean.
Edit
Let me add that I am a novice at this at best. As far as I know, twrp may not have even took? But once I get twrp working, I can flash Hairybean, right?

Hi.
I was installing Clockwork Mod externally onto my Viewsonic G Tablet. It started to install and was taking awhile I left the room and when I came back the tablet was off. I turned it back on and now my tablet won't go into recovery mod. It opens just fine, but I can't get it to open into recovery mod or Clockwork Mod. Just freezes up when every I power and +.
How can I fix Clockwork Mod or remove Clockwork Mod?
X that. I thought I would give a factory reset a try. So I went into settings and factory reset the thing. Well it restarted and when it got to the viewsonic birds it says "booting recovery kernal image" and never change. I have some how bricked the unbrickable G Tablet. Only my luck. Murphy's Law.
No you haven't. Factory reset uses recovery mode to perform it's operation so if ClockworkMod didn't install properly it will just hang. You need to nvflash a good recovery partition image onto the tablet then the factory reset will be able to complete and things should be fine.
NVflash back to stock and start over.
Does Nvflash give any indication that it's working? I'm trying to load Clockworkmod after dorking it up with Rom Manager, and I get
"Nvflash started" and a blinking cursor on the next line as a result. I can't tell if it's doing anything, or just sitting there.
Edit: 2 hours later when I gave up, it did detect when I unplugged the USB cable.

How do I do this? I did the nvflash, then the factory reset, installed clockwork, when I try to start in cw mode, it still says "booting recovery kernel image" under "detect a recovery key pressed", then has the update looking box, then boots right into stock rom. Please help!!!
EDIT: I think I got this figured out by following the instructions here (In case anyone else has this problem).

Nvflash should give you plenty of feedback in the dos shell or terminal window you're running it in. If you aren't getting any then it isn't working properly. That could be a driver issue under windows or possibly the tablet not being in APX mode when you start the process.
Okay about a month ago I root my gf evo 3d , she has hboot 1.5 so I followed the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821.
Everything has been working fine up until about a week ago , her phone started running hot and the battery would drain really quick with barely any usage. So my plan was to do a factory restart and full wipe and reinstall the rom fresh but when I tried to get into recovery the phone just shuts off , then goes to the boot screen then after the boot screen the phone just restarts itself. I even tried to do a factory reset from the phones menu options and the same things happens. The ways I tried getting into recovery are by using the shutdown menu options (hold power , reboot , recovery) , I've also tried rom manager and last I tried getting to recovery from bootloader and nothing seems to work.
I am completely lost PLEASE! HELP!

You should reflash your recovery to TWRP using fastboot. Then boot into recovery using fastboot. From there you should be able to do a complete wipe and flash a ROM. It is outlined in the thread you linked OP and second post. Feel free to come into the d3rp q+a thread in my sig if you need more help.
It worked thanks you

As a heads up to some of the inner workings.
All the methods you listed are correct methods of booting into the recovery. ROM Manager selecting boot recovery, booting into the bootloader and selecting recovery and also adb shell, reboot recovery.
The boot order goes: bootloader -> kernel -> recovery. Once you see the HTC screen or whatever custom splash screen is loaded, you know the device is now booting the kernel. At this point, if the device hangs on the splash screen or reboots again to the splash screen, something is wrong with the kernel "recovery" itself.
If you get this rebooting to splash screen or hanging on splash screen two or three times in a row, that should be sufficient to know, you have correctly booted the device into recovery mode and the next step is to reflash the recovery, essentially reloading it.
We can speculate on how/why the recovery became corrupt on your device, but in the end, these things sometimes just happen to no intentional fault of the user.
Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but if it does, hopefully this extra information will help prevent a bit of frustration the next time around!

So you mean, stuck at the splash screen(HTC with white screen) and reboot again and again is because of the recovery destroyed? My phone stuck at the splash screen for about 10 seconds and then reboot again and again. I have tried to flash many recovery images, includeing twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, cwm-1.0.4, cwm-1.0.5, cwm-5.0.2, all failed to boot up into recovery:-(
Thanks in advance!
My tab is in a boot loop when i tried to put it back to stock rom, and i cannot get into any boot loader it never loads, i can get to the apx mode and nvflash.
This Tab had 1.1 to start, then somehow i ended up with 1.2 on it then i had a bad crash and i cant get into recovery. I press the power and sound button for recovery and get the litle message like its going into it but it wont. Ive tried to use nvflash to go back to stock rom but it is in a boot loop now.
How or where do i get something that will give me a way to get back into a functional clockwork mod or some sorta boot loader? I think i need "NVFlash rev5 by tlb1961" but the links to is are gone. Basically i need to know how to nvflash back to a functional boot loader. Or Fix this boot loop? From there i can install a new flashback 10.3 Can anyone help me? I need files and instructions.
Thanks
Try this procedure out.
You'll should get a 1.1 stock ROM. Then, let it update itself to the 1.2.
Ive tried it, i still get to the tap n tap screen and boot loop, meh ive even tried a format rom to try to clear everything so i can get a boot loader back on it to load something else besides stock. No luck!

If you're experiencing a boot loop then the bootloader is actually OK. Problems with the bootloader present as a hang at the first splash screen or no splash screen at all--you don't get a boot loop.
Your problem is most likely a bad ROM install or a messed up SD internal card and the steps already given will fix both problems if you do them precisely. Some of the steps ask you to verify that some things have happened. You need to make sure that it was and not just continue on blindly.
Assuming you completed all the steps correctly, we should be able to look at the logs messages to find out if its some sort of HW problem.
Power off the gtab, connect a USB cable to the PC, and run this ADB command in a CMD window on the PC to collect the Android logs:
Code:
C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb logcat -v time > log.txt[/B]
Then power on the gTab. Let it boot-loop a few times while the logs are being collected. Power off the gTab, stop the adb command in the window and post the log.txt file here.
Flashback 10.3 reboot problem
I can get Flashback 10.3 install - all apps run fine... but when I reboot it gets stuck on the three birds and I have to NVFlash it again.
Can someone help?
Hi all!
Im in a bit of an unknown scary situation for me
S6 edge, updated to nougat, rooted with the twrp Magisk method. All went fine.
Went to update the SUperSU binary from the app, and selected the twrp method.
Phone went into recovery, and started the flash. Now its been stuck for ages on "skipping MD5 check, no MD5 file found"
Buttons dont do anything (power button just shuts down the screen, and combination buttons takes screenshots), the lock screen and swype work, and the progress bar is blue and moving.....
What do I do? No idea how to restart, or exit recovery...
All the threads I checked, talk about failed rom installs, and re flashing the rom or the recovery, but I cant even get out of recovery to restart the phone or go into download mode
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Update!
After the panic of being stuck without a phone, and waiting for the phone to run out of battery, I kept googling and found out that I can restart twrp by holding Power and Vol Down for about 10 seconds.
It rebooted back into twrp menu, I restarted into system, and all seems ok!
From what I have understood so far, magisk does not need SuperSU, is that correct?
PHEW!
Leaving this here, in case it helps someone in the future!
Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
