Flash a recovery via Odin and boot to recovery then factory reset in recovery then wipe cache.
If Odin isn't working then you can try getting a recovery in .img format then use the dd command in adb to push the recovery.img to your recovery partition.
If you have to, download your stock firmware then find instructions to extract the stock recovery.img from the firmware, then you need to find out which mmcblk0 your recovery partition is in, then use the dd command to push the recovery.img to that mmcblk0. You can find instructions for all of that with a Google search if you take your time and search for each thing I mentioned.

Thanks Droidriven! I'll give it a try when I have time this weekend. I'll post back with my ultimate success I hope!

Fastboot bootloop help

Im stuck in a pickle. I tried to update to neutrino 2.8 but got caught in a boot loop. I followed instructions that worked last time and tried to repair my recovery and it wiped the recovery and all other system data, but fastboot wont reboot or install the recovery image it only wipes the and formats. help please
Your details are not that clear. Either you are not using fastbook incorrect, or you have somehow borked the bootloader/
If the latter, you can try using RSDlite to reflash the bootloader. See the threads on how to unlock your bootloder for these steps. This is as close to going back to square one as you can.
BTW, you might also say how you did this. If just using CWM to install zips it is really hard to screw up your recovery.
I am trying to use fastboot to flash a recovery But when i flash the recovery i get
error cannot load recovery
or
waiting on device
But it will sucessfully wipe and format, just not flash or for some reason reboot the phone
I have it figured out to the point where now i try to flash the recovery and it hangs at
Waiting for Device
I tried everything i can think of
reboot
Re-install drivers
re download file

How to get rid off TWRP and flash stock recovery

I've tried everything I've found to get back to stock recover but I'm always greeted with red triangle. Only way to get to recovery back on line is to re-flash twrp. I've tried fastboot method, flasing new firmware, windroid toolkit... nothing works. I can't even flash CWM. So how do I get that damn leech out of my phone?
[edit]
Can't even flash twrp back on..so no recovery in this phone at the moment. Tried using goomanager, but it didn't do it either.
[/edit]
FIrst of all Which phone do you Have (Int) or At&t , now if you have a stock recovery backup then in that case you can just use fastboot to push the image or use "recovery tool " to push it to the boot partition.
In case you are looking for the int stock recovery for the International version of the HOX+

Stock recovery is not ment to do much , unless you have an official signed package to push. I feel you want to have a functional recovery like CWM , it can give it a go .

Problem is that I've tried flashing TWRP and CWM but neither works. Phone boots up ok otherwise, but recovery is gone. Recovery Tool and Goomanager tells that the recovery image flash was completed but it's not or then something else got effed up. fastboot mode works just fine as the hboot.
Tried using RUU, but that doesn't work either because it keeps telling me that the battery level is below 30% and its at 91%. I remember trying RUU few months ago and I ran into the same problem. Back then I tried resetting battery status but that didn't help.

you are doing it wrong....goomanager and recovery tool CANNOT simply flash onto our devices,
you NEED to do ; fastboot flash recovery <insert recovery name here .img>

The fastboot method doesn't work. It does say that the flash was successfull, but there's still no recovery.... and besides, when I had stock recovery months ago, I actually did install twrp with goomanager, not with fastboot.
What I have tried:
1. fastboot flash boot stock_recovery.img with fastboot erase cache (red triangle)
2. fastboot flash boot twrp_recovery.img with erase (phone turns off when entering recovery)
3. fastboot boot recovery.img and twrp_recovery.img (doesn't boot to recovery) (phone turns off when entering recovery)
4. Tried using RUU but that hasn't worked for me ever (always the battery level below 30% error)
5. tried fastboot flash recovery and then flash boot and then erase (and first boot, then recovery) (stock and custom kernels)
6. numerous other ways I cant even remember anymore.
If there only were a rom with all the needed img files, I'd try flash all (or flashing them one by one) but haven't found any.

U tried every possible incorrect things.....and didn't even read Llior's post......
To flash a kernel the fastboot command is
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
To flash a recovery the command is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
instead of this u had tried to write the recovery file in boot partition...
and the
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
is to enter into the recovery without even having to install it on phone....
and I haven't checked it in HOX+ so better flash the boot.img(Kernel) and recovery.img(Recovery) using the mentioned commands above. and erase the cache....(which you seem to do correctly)...

ok i'll base my assumptions here on you using windows, and you don't have filename endings turned on.
i'm guessing you are renaming the files and adding in .img which is a bad idea, as .img is actually there but hidden. if i'm wrong, then try flashing the recovery with the PROPER file name without touching it.
so for CWMR it would be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for twrp it would be ; fastbootflash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-enrc2b.img

I haven't actually renamed anything (just in here to keep it short). And that 1. & 2. was miswritten. I haven't done fastboot flash boot recovery.img but fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I have tried exactly that file you posted but it's a no go (also tried other twrp versions and come cwm's too as well as stock recovery image).
Ive tried it with All-in-one tool as well...The weird thing is that all fastboot flashes or with that allinone tool there are no errors ever, only successfull flashes.

Yup... But anyway...decided to try that twrp one more time with all-in-one tool, flashed okay but this time the recovery worked and I was able to flash working rom and boot.img. Phone works now, but this was the last time I try to remove twrp.

[Q] [NEED HELP] Bootloop After Repartition

I've a rooted ZTE V972M. I tried to increase internal storage following instructions in
"Re-Partition any MTK6589 Phone, Without A PC! (More /Data Storage!)"
When I reboot my phone, it stucks at logo screen.
What I've done trying to fix it:
1. Enter the recovery mode; it's a stock recovery (Android system recovery <3e>); wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
Result: still stuck at logo when rebooting.
2. Flash a stock ROM in recovery mode.
Result: Update aborted. In the log file, it says "failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)" detailed in attached file. The stock rom I used is for ZTE LEO S1, while my phone is DTAC LION HD which is a house brand of my phone carrier. So, there may be a problem of ROM signing.
3. I installed "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and "ZTE_Android_Driver", and run "adb devices" command.
Result: There is nothing under " List of devices attached", so I assume adb cannot see my phone. In Windows' Device Manager, it shows "Portable Devices" and lists drive I:\ and K:\ under it.
In summary, My phone is rooted. I might have damaged partition /data and /cache which causes the bootloop. I can still enter stock recovery mode. I have a stock ROM, but may not be properly signed.
Please suggest me on what I can do next.
Thanks.

mediatek flash tool cannot see the phone either.
May be, if I can install CWM or TWRP, I might be able to update the stock rom with it. I've read elsewhere that If a phone can enter recovery mode, we can use fastboot in download mode. But I don't know how to install CWM or TWRP with fastboot.

Cant flash anything due to the mounting error in twrp.
Please help me i I think my os is fine I think.
Im willing to try anything at this point.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Similar question, hope to get more help .
You can not go into TWRP also?! Or you can go into TWRP and can not reboot to system/erecovery/bootload ?
Problem seems to be /misc partition. If you somehow wipe it (in twrp terminal) or flash recovery without /misc in fstub, MAYBE it would go out of recoveryloop.
Do you have unlocked bootloader with notification screen on boot like "bootloader is unlocked and phone is not trusted.... press Power button to continue..." ? If not, how you bypass it? If yes, you can hold Vol+ for 3 sec to go to eRecovery. Any change to download stock rom to external SDcard to dload folder and to hold Vol- and power on phone?
yes my bootloader is properly unlocked and no still get the loop with stockrom and try do anything in twrp have problems with mounting errors

Where do you find or made twrp for LDN-L21? must be error in fstub or wrong busybox/toybox version.
Did you fastboot flash recovery twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img ?!
