[Q] HTC Stock ROM, custom recovery, factory reset related - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
Need Help on urgent basis. I am still using HTC Explorer . I need Help with multiple things.
I was on custom rom with Philz Touch recovery. My phone started to do some issues with soft keys. I Tried some other ROM but nothing changed. I reverted back to the same ROM and then even my touch started to mess up.
I did restore of my old Stock ROM. (Backup I did before installing Custom ROM)
Now my touch is much better and soft keys are working much better.
I want to do a factory reset on stock ROM to see if can get rid of this soft key and touch issue because reverting back to stock ROM did a good job in almost solving my issue now my questions are:
1. Stock ROM but custom recovery (Philz Touch Recovery) is it possible to do factory reset in this situation or I have to revert back to stock recovery?
2. I am facing issue with fastboot my phone does not connect in fastboot mode it does shows Fastboot USB but on my computer it says Waiting for device need help with this too.
3. If anyone knows about the method to flash stock recovery without using PC then kindly do let me know.
4. I am using Stock ROM backup. ROM which came already installed on my device. Do I need to download RUU or it is just fine to do factory reset on this ROM.
Reply as fast as you can guys because I have only this one phone to use and I am tired of trying alot of things now I just want to do factory reset and then start over again.
Regards,
Usman Aly

How do I get stock recovery back??

I have ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 currently installed, when I reboot into recovery mode, the menu scrolls by really fast on an endless loop, and I cannot select anything.. So I was wondering how I would get the stock recovery back onto my tab.. Any help is much appreciated.. Thanks
I think you got the rolling CWM issue:
Look over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984
I'm now at 4.0.4 and have the hc stock recovery somewhere.
Whithout knowing that ics has the same recovery than hc exactly, and I'm not convinced that it is so, don't think it helps you much.
But the above Link could help you way better.
edit1:
i had same issue with CWM 5.5.0.4, flashed a different bootlaoder and it worked...BUT if you then recover back to hc for example you get strange behavior here... just tbh
the best way is to flash the entire firmware on the tab. And obviously the more destructive one too.
I suggest you also to install the cwm recovery 5.5.0.4. That's the only non-rolling recovery you will find, and to do that it's not necessary to reinstall the stock one
here's the link to the good recovery for you: http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=8.
If you're already using this and still have the rolling screen, the problem is the bootloader: so follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41 and your recovery should be fine.
If the problem still goes on, problably you did a little bit mess flashing roms and recoverys and in that case your only solution is to flash the entire stock firmware erasing all the old stuff and then reinstall cwm, root the device and so on.
Thanks for all your help guys I will give it a shot..

[Q] TWRP bootloop

While I did find a similar posts, they were for different devices. I also tryed to search o different sites for similar problems to no avial.
What Happened: After backing up system data and app data then removing Foxhound ROM with factory reset, and installing UltimaROM i came to find that the modem did not install correctly result in no connection to my cell network. I booted into TWRP recovery to try and do a re-install of the ROM only to find that TWRP was restarting itself every 3 seconds or so. I attempted to restart the device which i found to result in a TWRP bootloop that i cannot get out of, it constantly is booting into recovery mode and i cannot get it restart the OS.
What I've tried: Since i can get into download mode i decided to attempt to re-install TWRP using Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit but since i do not have USB debugging on i cannot do that. I'm mainly looking for a fix before i go and claim it on the warranty saying update went bad or something. If people need more information I will try to provide it as best i can.
Summery if i confused people is that TWRP is in a bootloop, i am unable to get to the OS, but i still have download mode available.
I fixed it but not how I would have liked to. I ended up losing all data due to flashing stock ROM using ODIN. I would still much appreciate a alternative method that does not involve loss of data though just for future reference, that is if anyone knows a alternative method.

could've tried reflashing TWRP or any other recovery through odin
I have an LG Optimus Q (LGL55c) with twrp loop. I was trying to go back to stock rom, instead I deleted all the system files in twrp when it was working...Then I rebooted back into recovery and get the loop. Does this mean I completely bricked my phone? I tried using adb, adb shell doesn't work. It does find the device. Even tried the LG update with no sucess Any ideas or suggestions?
I just read the forum title, I thought this was for the Optimus Q not the Samsung S3. Sorry mods
Temasek unofficial cm12 5.02
I was running this rom when my power button shorted and I got it replaced but then I tried to do a complete wipe and clean flash but since then it has been twrp bootlooping, tried to flash the latest recovery through Odin but still doesn't work also tried stock firmware flash but says binary not available.
This is my secondary device and I've not been in touch with Odin for a while. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Download latest firnware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin, as described on sammobile: does Odin finish with '1 succeeded'?
I'm in a very similar situation, but with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7105). It's rooted, and I am, or was using TWRP 2.7.0.2. ROM is CyanogenMod 12, 5.0.2 Lollipop.
I did a factory reset from INSIDE Android, and chose to wipe internal memory. Phone did the reset and wipe, rebooted into TWRP instead of Android, and now I have TWRP boot loop.
I posted more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60247503&postcount=3671
I have the Problem toooo!
What must i do Now!
with my S3 is the same!!!
For posterity:
With an old (2014?) version of TWRP and a custom ROM, I tried reverting to factory settings. That caused the phone to reboot TWRP, and the screen would flash every couple of seconds. I flashed a stock recovery image I found on Google, and when it restarted again, the wipe was completed successfully. My intention was to wipe all user data anyways so I can't say if this method might save it.

[Q] Xperia Tablet Z Recovery Issue

Hello!
I've just finished following the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295694
It has definitely flashed the recovery, which is great.
However I cannot boot the recovery using any kind of key combination.
The only way I have found to access it is by booting into the current stock ROM, and using the CWM ROM Manager.
My issue is that if I want to flash a different ROM (AOKP when I figure this out), if the ROM fails and won't boot, I can't get back into recovery to fix the issue or re-flash a different ROM.
I don't want to end up with a bricked device.
I've done a lot of reading and it seems like a common issue, but no real solutions
I'm more used to flashing Samsung devices
Thanks for any assists!

[Q] [URGENT] HELP! Karbonn Titanium S5+ plus CWM CUSTOM RECOVERY WENT WRONG!

Hi. I own a Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus/+.
I was looking to install a stock 4.4 ROM. So I rooted my phone with rootmaster (I do not own a PC).
I download some unofficial CWM for my phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634569.
when Backing up from custom recovery it says Can't Mount/system.
my biggest mistake is that I did not Backup original recovery.
I even went to cyber cafe and tried this method of flashing stock rom of my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718505 But it didnt work at all.
So my problems are :
1.I cannot Factory reset my phone.when i select factory reset from settings, it boots up in recovery.when i select factory reset from recovery it doesnt change a thing.
2.My phone has a update . when i try to update,it again boots up in recovery.I tried updating from update.zip but it gives STATUS 7 Error.
3.Again due my stupid mistake of not backing up while changing the boot animation I am stuck with a custom boot animation. Is there a way I can revert it back to original.?
The company's website does not provide stock rom its devices.
Is there any way that I can bring my phone back to full Factory State (Without PC)?

Need help for installing stock recovery in Hol U-19

Hello Friends,
I posted the question in another section and I am told to ask it here again. So here it is....
I rooted my Honor Holly 10 days ago and flashed with Philz recovery and installed minimal OS. However minimal OS is not responding very good and I want to revert back to stock ROM and recovery. I downloaded stock recovery from this site but it is not working. Everytime I reboot into recovery it just restarts I have tried everything from factory reset to cache clean. I used two different apps Flashify and Rashr but both are not working. Please help me, I know there must be other people too with same problem and I searched the forum and couldn't find any good method.
Your help will be appreciated.
I only need a method to get back stock recovery, I have made the backup of stock ROM.
Please help ASAP
