[Q] [Xperia Ray] Cannot boot into Recovery - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey Guys,
i can't get my phone to boot into cwm.
BL is unlocked, Phone is rooted.
Installed CWM with Recoveryx - can't boot into recovery (via Boot Manager)
Installed CWM with X-Parts - can't boot into recovery (via X-Parts)
I can't boot via Volume Down button.
Whats wrong? It's driving me crazy.

Try using adb. Download the sdk or just adb and using command prompt go to the location where
adb is and use this command-
adb reboot recovery

Didn't work either. I finally managed it. Don't know how. I flashed cwm a couple of times. After the 10th time it booted. Thanks

How to boot into recovery?

I currently pull the battery, then turn on volume down and power to go to bootloader and then enter into the recovery. I would like to know if this is the correct way, or if there is another method to enter the recovery. Thanks

Other than flashing a ROM with an extended menu ( instead of power off and reboot only reboot has several options reboot, hot reboot, reboot into bootloader and, reboot into recovery) the other option would be to download ROM MANAGER but that would only work if you are using CWM and have flashed it via Rom Manager.... otherwise the way you are doing it is fine
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
adb reboot recovery from command or terminal assuming you have the adb.exe in your system32 directory.

Should not have to pull the battery - just turn it off.
If you want it easier (not connected to computer, etc.), you can install ROM Manager, flash recovery their with it, and then I recommend reflashing xBoarders 5.0.2.0 again.
ROM Manager should still work (mine does), but when you enter Recovery from there, you have the other 5.0.2.0 Recovery (RM 5.0.2.6 will not charge when off).
On a related note--do we need to keep fastboot enabled?
Or use quick boot

[Q][SK17i][Locked BL] How to go in recovery with terminal?

What is the terminal/adb command to go in the recovery directly ?
Code:
reboot recovery
doesnt seem to work ...
I am using pvypart's recovery ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
pvyparts app and serjar's system UI allow you to go to recovery directly so I believe there must be a terminal command too .

From the pc you can type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
This won't work on phone, because it would start an adb server on phone, so I don't know about the command on phone
Hmm
Doesnt seem to work
adb reboot recovery just reboots the phone ..
Hi
Did you previously install a recovery??
If not, try X-parts.
Hi
I can boot into recovery if I repeatedly press volume down at boot
Or I can access the recovery using x-parts or server's framework...
I need the terminal or adb command.

You mean you can't boot in it or you can? By pressing volume down again and again? Reinstall the recovery, it must work. On which software version are you?

The recovery works...
I am on ics 587
I want to write a batch script so I can directly boot in recovery when my phone is connected to to windows ...
That's why I need the terminal command.

Can you reboot into recovery from your hardware with out hitting the vol rocker? So on my hardware (ST18i) I can long press power select reboot and then I have the option for reboot or recovery. When this is set up correctly, selecting recovery will automatically reboot the device into recovery with out having to hit vol dwn...when it is not set up correctly it will reboot normally...so if you want recovery you have to hit vol dwn. Mine is currently not set up correctly...and when I try adb reboot recovery it behaves exactly like yours....just reboots with out going to recovery.
AFAIK the problem for the reboot to recovery from the hardware is in the ramdisk (not sure about from adb) so maybe try another kernel.....
My phone is locked ...
I tried both recoveries available with x-parts ...
The phone boots the recovery woth the modified framework(Hold the power button)
But I wanted the adb commands for a batch script ..
Anyway Thanks for your replies

[Q] adb no devices found in recovery

Hey guys,
I can't get adb shell whenever I'm in recovery. I followed this guide to get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 however when I'm in recovery adb doesn't detect the device. I'm using linux and the latest sdk from google. Whenever the device is powered up normally, I have no issues... just when in recovery.
Any ideas?
thank you

When I was having that trouble, I disconnected my phone from the computer and reboot it and rebooting, I made sure I had Developer Options turned on before I connected to the computer and it worked for me. Hopefully it helps for you
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 Touch & Classic from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051547
I can't reboot my computer right now but I'll check whenever I reboot again. That shouldn't be an issue though right? It's not like I'm in windows where I need to reboot cause of a new driver.
Just go into your device manager to make sure it is either installed correctly or even showing up. i won't be able to help until next week to make sure my adb works.

Just the way you flashed cwm by clauddy,
download my twrp recovery.img.
Use the command fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img (<--- my file)
and then reboot in recovery.

how to enter flashboot again?
im sorry its been a while i didnt do this kind of stuff
If you have your phone turned on and USB debugging enabled, just issue the command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
to boot directly to fastboot.

No problem. You have to open a terminal and go to the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are. There you just type adb.exe reboot bootloader

That's right. Once you type adb reboot bootloader, wait a few seconds to restart, do not select nothing else and just type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and reboot when it's finished.

from where do i type the command such as adb reboot-bootloader and fastboot flash recovery c:\recoveryname.img???
do i type it from cmd or something? im confused.
i already in fastboot i guess by pressing volum down button when phone restarts
in the same folder that you have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and your recovery.img, SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on an empty space and choose 'Open command window here'
From here, making sure your device is in fastboot mode, type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
do i need my usb debugging to be on?

You need to be on fastboot mode (Reboot->Vol- & Power->Go on fastboot)
xpirt
ah.. nvm guys finally it worked. i already switched recovery from cwm to twrp.
thank you all
so here is what i should do since beginning
1. put your recovery.img file to where adb.exe and fastboot.exe located
2. connect phone to pc
3. hold power button and choose restart then wait till all buttons and screen goes off
4. hold down volume down button
5. select fastboot
6. shift+recovery on where adb.exe and fastboot.exe located to open cmd
7. then just type this command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img " and press enter
8. done
LOLOL. im actually stuck at part 6 this whole time!!!!! THANKS!!!

You have to boot into fastboot mode to install this custom recovery on your device. Do you have fastboot and ADB setup on your computer and the device drivers installer for the Nexus 5? If you don't have fastboot and ADB setup on your computer I would recommend taking a look at this simple fastboot and ADB installer . Once you have fastboot and adb setup, and the device drivers installed follow the following steps:
1. Download this file.
2. Move the downloaded recovery file into the directory where you have ADB and Fastboot setup on your computer.
3. Navigate into the directory where you have ADB and Fastboot setup on your computer and run the following commands from the command prompt on your computer:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery hammerhead-cwm-6.0.4.4-unofficial.img
After following this procedure you will then have Clockworkmod Recovery installed on your device. Let me know if you still have questions.
And make sure you
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
first!
I installed the recovery via fastboot.
When i try to boot into recovery i'm stuck at google screen.
I'm able to reboot the device.
Whats wrong?

Are you too able to access recovery all? But you can reboot the device and still get into the bootloader for fastboot mode correct?

Interesting I'm curious to know if the TWRP build I posted does the same any hints from dmesg or last_kmsg would also be beneficial, is it possible for you use Android Debug Monitor (DDMS and Monitor in Android SDK tools folder if you have the sdk installed) and upload a log?
Okay so here is propably another noob question: On my HTC Sensation I had 4ext as recovery. What are the differences between this and 4ext or TWRP? Is there a thread somewhere I couldn't find!?
