hello all.
i am not a developer guy.. so i tried to root my device with some tutorials and articles over the net. and i found a good one at skyneel.com
after reading that.. i did following.:
1. installed proper drivers for my Micromax A120 running on KITKAT 4.4.2
2. enabled USB debugging
3. copied SuperSU file (root_kit.zip) to my sd card
4. run SPtool.exe and loaded MT6582_scatter.txt file and connected my phone.
5. phone was detected and everything went perfect..
6. I Switched on the phone to enter recovery mode (volume up + down + power key)
Now the issue is that my phone shows 2 modes... Recovery mode & Factory Reset Mode. but i can not select any of them.. i use volume keys as per the order of options given.. but the phone always starts in normal mode..
Recovery mode is not loading. so i can not install the SuperSU file which is there in my sd card.. I am stuck at the very last option..
What to do.. How to boot my device into recovery. even adb does not detect my device connected...

Anyone know of a way to get into recovery mode (botton combo, one-click, etc.) on the 10.1 tab without having android sdk and adb installed on my PC? I am not new at flashing files in recovery mode, but going through help files/instructions on adk is a bit overwhelming.
I have the root zip file on my tab, I just need to get into recovery mode to flash it.
Thanks in advance...
It isn't possible without adb on a non-rooted device. You can attempt to boot into recovery mode by holding power and volume down on start up and selecting the android guy with "downloading" but it will say: "waiting for usb" and hang there. I was attempting to do this the other night.
Getting into recovery is dead simple though once you have adb going. Go to the android development section and go to rooting your tablet. Download the drivers > connect to the computer > run adb in command prompt once you have your sdk installed > then if you have your drivers fully installed and usb debugging mode is on just type in command prompt "adb reboot recovery" and it will send you directly to recovery mode to flash any zip file you please.
Thx, Really wish someone had a one-click option, I guess i'll just have to jump in
I've been trying to boot into recovery for a while now, but with no luck. I installed the full SDK platform, and the Manager app downloaded and installed all the available packages (took forever). The 'push' command seemed to work fine, and when I do "adb reboot recovery" the tablet reboots, but just goes into the battery charging screen. Any idea why this might be happening, and what I can do to get into recovery?

The mode that says "downloading" is not recovery mode. Just select the one on the left and you will get into stock recovery mode (unless you already have Clockwork installed).

I managed to do that, but it wouldn't show anything on my '/sdcard' directory, even when I renamed the root package to "update.zip"
In red, it says "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" Not sure if I'm getting into real, stock recovery, or what - seems crazy that stock wouldn't be able to access its own sdcard directory.
Battery not recovery mode
I am in a similar situation, when I use adb to run recovery mode it sends me to teh battery charging screen. With the exception of that they only other things I can do are to hold power and vol to get option of using Fastboot or ODIN. I do not have any options ever to chose to go into recovery mode. Anyone know why this may be? I am running 3.1 IO version.
Thanks
You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.
Installing the sdk works best, as drivers needed are acquired from the process! ELse there are extracted contents available on net including just the drivers, adb (and fastboot!)

I don't think the stock retail recovery is capable of flashing off SD storage. That's why the current rooting methods have you first flash either I/O recovery or a custom recovery.

The manual says to press the power and UP VOL button to get into recovery mode for update flash or wipe data ..
Pressing power and DOWN VOL enters fastboot mode

Go ahead and let know if you are able to enter recovery with the keys combination and wipe or factory reset the device, according to manual. Did not work for me, am on 3.1 honeycomb i/o galaxy tab 10.1 and many others.

Use the quick boot app. Works well for me. Supports power off, recovery, and normal reboot for the free version. Oh yeah but that requires root.

This worked for me on Rogers 4G version
Hi guys, I'm in the process of installing CM 10.0.0 on my at&t galaxy note as per Quincyatt Info on Cyanogenmod wiki. I'm having trouble pushing the cm.zip onto my sdcard via adb. When I try to get into download mode in order to put zip with cyanogenmod on my sdcard I get a screen that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The play by play is:
1) boot phone by holding Volume Down while plugging in microUSB.
2) Receive "Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications..."
3) press Volume Up to continue to download mode
4) screen goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The steps I followed on the wiki:
1) Get and setup Heimdall Suite 1.4RC2
2) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.1-quincyatt onto my phone
3) I powered off
PS when I try to "adb push cm-10.0.0-quincyatt.zip /sdcard/" I get "error: device not found," which I assume is because my phone, while plugged in, is not in download mode.
PPS When I try to go directly into CWM with volume up + volume down + lock/power it takes me to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.."
i had this same issue about a month ago...
-
I booted my phone to this message: Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications...
Then plugged the usb cable to my phone and ran Odin.and flashed with pda.tar file
Then rebooted the phone and my phone was able to get to download mode.

Yep. Thanks!
For the record:
I used Odin to flash a stock I717 kernel (provided by da___g) and then proceeded with the cyanogenmod wiki's instructions. In order for my computer to see my phone so it could push files via adb I had to be in ClockWorkMod. My phone was non-functional (could only go into download/recovery mode and CWM) until I flashed CM10 with CWM.
Why push a zip file with adb? Just put it on your sd card by data cable or by mailing it to yourself or by download.
But then you have to be able to get into recovery. . .
Hi All
I have an ainol novo 7 aurora v1
I previously had a nice working rom (the essential clean rom by android-kun from slatedroid), but just wanted to flash to cm10 to see what it would be like
I followed the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821398
before starting i flashed the recovery using Novotools then booted into recovery
i downloaded aurora-v1-v2_legacy-compatibility-jb_vX.zip and aurora-v1-v2_legacy-compatibility_v1.zip
then i used cwm to install
aurora-v1-v2_legacy-compatibility_v1
then the JB zip in that order
I then rebooted fine
did the usuall startup...thats when problems begain
Firstly. I couldnt get wifi to turn on. Basically you drag it on and it bounces back to off immediately
then i tried to open file manager, but nothing was showing up
then i opened a video/photo/camera app and got messages saying that no external memory could be found
if i try to access "Apps" or "storage" in settings, it crashes the settings app
i plugged the device into the computer and could turn on usb mode just fine but can only access internal storage but not external
so basically, i now have a device that cannot access any media, cannot access the internet, cannot install apk from file manager and cannot access full settings
All i have is superuser and terminal
so i tried to install novotools.apk manually via terminal but it didnt work and i tried to do it via windows via ADB but it said no device found (i have the drivers)
also i cannot boot into recovery
i have tried holding down power and vol – or +
and i have tried the terminal command
reboot recovery
both just reboot me back into the main OS
or just turn the device off
i have also tried to flash_image recovery a recovery.img
but it says directory not found referring to recovery
I am now tearing my hair out, so if someone could help me itd be much appreciated
it is running android 4.0.3 maybe thats what caused the issue (incompatability with cyanogenmod 10?)
The irony is that the tablet runs super super super smoothly but is completely useless BIG SIGH
Thanks for any assistance.
i have a feeling that if i can get the recovery to work then i should be able to reflash everything
i have also tried using livesuit but i cant get it into that volume+ and power button mode for it to flash
So I just spent 5...yes 5 hours tring to root my HTC desire 601. After many img files that failed and lastly a CWM for a 4,2,2....i was told (somewhere mixed in google and my open tabs) that I need it for 4.2.2 .... I finally got the phone to boot up in a LOOKS LIKE I DID THE RIGHT STEPS menu "philz_touch_6.12.8-zara.img" but it gave me Status 7...hence the question which CWM do i need.
It's a HTC Desire 601. And.Ver.4.4.2
so far the only thing that has worked for me is using this method...(well obviously it didnt work but i saw progress)

officially 24 hours spent on this....i dont know what im doing wrong. YES i am reading but now i just feel overwhelmed and illiterate.
Hi, i ****ed up yesterday night.
I have a Honor 7 which was rooted with TWRP. I tried to unroot it and go back to stock recovery to be able to update from 5.1 to 6.0 MM.
So i flashed with the stock recovery, but when the phone turned back on, recovery was broke.
Now i can't neither go into recovery mode or fastboot mode, so i can't flash anything anymore.
When i do the buttons combination to enter in recovery, i'm in rescue mode saying "func no11 (recovery image)
The phone is still able to boot on stock B140, but enable usb debug doesn't change anything.
I don't know if anyone got a solution or has the problem before, i've been looking into it all night long without success, i hope it's not a permanent brick
Thanks for reading me, and sorry for my english
Turn off phone, connect phone to pc then immediately after that hold power and vol down. You should be able to boot into fastboot?
Sadly it's not working. Looks like recovery mode and fastboot mode have been erased or something, my phone can only boot on Android, nothing else, so i basically can't root it/update/install recovery :/
Try to factory reset it.
If that doesn't work, let it completely discharge until it doesn't turn on. Charge it and then try to enter bootloader.
Can you enter eRecovery?
Hi, thanks for your reply
I can't enter in erecovery/recovery, and when i try to enter in the bootloader, instead of having "fastboot and rescue mode", i only have "rescue mode" with error 11 (no recovery image) then error 2.
USB debug is enabled, but my computer doesn't detect my phone in any way
Edit: The exact errors i have are:
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Flash the stock recovery.img belongs to your current rom with multi-tool. Probably it'll be fixed.
@smbtirael to enter into bootloader mode just press and hold Vol Down button and simultaneously connect the phone to PC, if your PC is not detecting your device try installind Google USB drivers via SDK. If you get in bootloader mode then you know how to flash a recovery.
