Try fastboot reboot recovery
————————-
Or you can boot the recovery.img directly but you need it on your pc fastboot boot image.img
People ran TWRP without flashing this way

Stuck in bootloop and need help fast

Ok so
Rooted
S-off
hboot 1.12.2222
was running Mean-rom 4.4
Then tried to install the new apk fix for ringtones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900629
Phone rebooted then then continues to be stuck in boot loop.
What I have tried:
Factory reset in bootloader
clear storage in bootloader
reinstall TWRP to get in recovery as if I choose recover in bootloader it just boot loops.
Tried to install the RUU but it can not connect during boot loops and errors out.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Try fastboot wipe recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, if recovery loops back to bootloader then it's corrupt. Make sure you flash the latest twrp

All I see in fastboot option on bootloader is
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
powerdown
am I missing something?
Those are fastboot commands, you use the terminal
fastboot wipe recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should be able to boot into recovery afterwards
What terminal? I'm a bit lost here
Do you have adb tools or Android SDK?
C:\android-sdk-windows
Open cmd prompt by opening SDK folder and then hold shift and right click, it will say open cmd prompt or something similar I don't recall if adb is in separate folder but I don't think so. From there you can plug in the phone in fastboot and type fastboot devices, it will tell you if you are connected or not. Download twrp and place it in the same folder. Then you can use the commands I listed earlier

Get an error see attached
Now that I am in fasboot usb on the bootloader the RUU can connect to phone via USB.
If I just flashed that and started all over would that work and do I need to unroot and relock before doing the RUU?
Still not having any luck on terminal so far.
Sorry I was busy arguing with gf, it seems you aren't where you need to be if fastboot isn't recognized, I haven't had access to my own pc in quite a while so I'm having trouble remembering if there is another directory

got fastboot working but get this with your first command
That's because I haven't used wipe in fastboot in quite a while, I'm sure I'm just confused on wipe and erase but you shouldn't need it, the first command should be fastboot erase recovery but like I said you shouldn't really have to, it's just like formatting before flashing the recovery, just fastboot flash recovery openrecovery.img or what ever the name is for the twrp file
Ran
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7356 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.112s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.796s]
finished. total time: 2.912s
Hit recovery and we we still are in boot loop

Thanks recovery just loops, could never get in.
Ok this is where I am at (see OP)
We tried flashing TWRP and original recovery via ADB
We tried running RUU
I'm still stuck in a boot loop....
I am having a similar problem stuck in bootloader. I relocked to go to the new firmware and now am stuck in the bootloader. I can access adb but can't access recovery. I am now relocked. Can I unlock again with a fastboot command?
If you unlocked manually, HTC sends the unlock code code just use fastboot to flash, if you used regawmod, just run it again. I don't know if regawmod will recognize the phone in boot loader though

Stock emui recovery image lost after twrp!!! Fail to get EMUI recovery to life

Hi all,
Im using honor 7 plkl01 5.0.2.
I just install twrp and my stock recovery image is gone and i wish to get it back. So i flashed the b130 stock recovery.img from TWRP.
But it ends up with error 11 (recovery) and error 2(load).
Is there any way i can get my stock emui recovery back to life so that i can update my firmware locally?
Ps, i tried adb to flash but ends up write recovery error and command not allowed. my phone is unlocked by the way.
fastboot devices
[should reply with a device]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[with recovery.img in the same folder as adb]
You should try starting with B100 files.
Which rom are you using? Open Multi Tool and flash your currrent rom's stock recovery by following instructions. It's so simple.

Hi,
And yes it's correct, but i help a little more, to get the recovery of B100 download the B100 firmware, then download HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract the recovery.img, then you've said all ^^
Put the .IMG in the same folder with adb... Flash, it should work, then maybe a hardreset
Good luck
Edit 1 : By the way, i prefer flash the recovery manually

You can't flash a recovery if you are booted into recovery, it's like pinning down a person and asking him to get up.
Okay so to flash a recovery you must be in bootloader mode, to boot into bootloader mode you have to first switch off your device then press Vol DOWN+Power Button once booted into bootloader mode, fire this command to flash recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The recovery.img file should be in the same folder from where you are executing the command.

Hi, i know you know the way ^^ but you made a little error, to perform the command, it's in fastboot mode ( Vol. DOWN + Power )
Vol UP + Power leads to the recovery
Unless this works too ? :eek:

Soft brick while trying to flash TWRP

Hello to all !
In order to install Lineage OS on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, I was trying to flash TWRP as recovery. I was able to run successfully command 'fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img' to skirt anti rollback, then i execute successfully 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' command to flash TWRP, but no way to boot on TWRP.
I tried also to run command 'fastboot boot recovery.img' but while booting it stays stucked on MI logo.
While searching for a solution I inconveniently run command 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img', so now I'm in a bootloop on fastboot mode if I press volume down and power button, or MI logo if I start in normal mode.
I still have access to fastboot commands, do you know how I can do to fix it (and maybe a way to install TWRP correctly) ?
And I can not stop my phone, does it exist a command which allows to do this in fastboot or I have to wait for my phone to be without battery ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

I guess you have Redmi note 5 - codename: Whyred (Snapdragon 636 and with dual rear camera) so Redmi 5 plus doesn´t have ARB.
If the next recommendation doesn´t work you will find better guidance in the thread for your specific device https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro so is slightly different.
Flash again your stock boot image , reboot and check that USB debugging is enabled and start again the process:
Put TWRP in your sdcard and a copy with this name in your adb folder into pc, reboot to fastboot and first just boot to TWRP, don´t flash it in fastboot, use code
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
then in TWRP flash TWRP file and flash dummy.img ARB. In the case that your counter is up to 4 here you will find the file to enable again fastboot mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219

I will assume that you have the correct TWRP build for your device (do you have vince, or whyred?).
If you have the correct TWRP, then did you flash magisk or lazyflasher after installing TWRP?
MAAAN
Do like this: once you flashed type
Fastboot boot recoveryname.img

Successfully unbricked mi 9t

I would like to share my experienced how to unbricked my phone that stock on fastboot mode.why my phone is brick? The reason why my phone brick just because i restore the wrong system with the other vendor from china to miuimix and after restore it, it stock on fastboot mode unable to recover backup or to load in recovery mode. It didn't also turn off. l try to use miflash tool but it didn't work because of authorization not match to my phone, i tried other fastboot rom but it didnt work.. Try to boot twrp using fastboot boot but it didn't show any. I came up with the idea to flash. Img using cmd into the system that i restore, begin with the boot.img nothing will happen. Until i flash the vbmeta.img, then it begin to show boot img and eventually access twrp. I wiped everything and flash again a brandnew rom miui12 and it works well now.. Hope it will help to others to have an idea to unbrick there phone. ☺☺☺

Could you explain? My phone is stuck at fastboot and my pc doesn't detect the phone.
if u could access your phone via fastboot / adb then it wasn't a hardbrick , just a softbrick

You should check first the driver of your computer. Make sure you have the driver of your phone to your computer. After that you can check your device via adb by using commnd on cmd "adb devices".

I have the same problem. I tried also this one, but nothing.
Everything goes ok in CMD, but when I type:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I get:
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
I still can't go in Recovery, neither turn off the phone. How solve this?!

flash boot twrp.img?
What do you wanna do?
If you want to boot into TWRP it should be
Code:
fastboot boot recovery "name-of- recovery.img"
If you want to flash TWRP it should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery.img"
Your command
fastboot flash boot twrp.img should flash the recovery image over the boot image?
If you want to boot into twrp you should use the command above.
As far as I know not every device/firmware is able to boot into TWRP. It seems other users were able to do so with a mi 9t so my advice would be:
- Try another usb port / cable.
- Check twice if you renamed the twrp image correctly
- Try another twrp version (older one or unofficial)

Thank you. Actually I was confused in the transcript here, I meant fast boot instead of flash.
But I figured out to use XiaomiFlash Tool to install a ROM via fastboot, and then reinstall a recovery.
The popup camera is not working good with the XIAOMI official rom (It tries to close the cam even if it is already closed). Now I'm trying to install Havoc OS to try to solve those problem, but it demands me the miui v11.0.4 or new (error in twrp), even if I have the miui v12.... trying to figure out why
for the guys whome are stuck on fastboot, you may try "XiaoMiTool V2". this bought my Mi9T from fastboot to life.
make sure all the drivers are installed as well. what's better is install usb drivers, reboot computer, enable usb debugging, connect the phone to computer, select transfer data, wait till the computer completely setup your phone, turn off phone and connect to computer, wait till computer detects and setup, put the phone on fastboot mode and connect, check whether computer shows android device... once everything are confirmed then proceed with flasing.. :good::good:

Fatsboot boot bug (phone doesn't boot)

Hello!
Now I have a trouble with my Nokia 7.1.
When I try to boot twrp or another kernel (boot.img) it stuck. I do '"fastboot boot twrp.img" or "fastboot boot boot.img" and my phone frozes on Android One logo.
And if problem with twrp can be solved (first enter "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and only than "fastboot boot twrp.img"), problem with boot.img is still relevant.
I noticed, that after "fastboot boot ..." phone restarts into download mode.
My phone is unlocked.
Thank
Hi, before any boot command, you'll need to do that flash recovery counterpart. You can do it on a standard boot image as well, not just TWRP. There's no recovery partition, so, nothing gets flashed. But it somehow allows us to boot our bootable img files.
So,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
fastboot boot boot.img

I recently came to this conclusion, but what is it?
Does it bootloader bug or anything else?
i have similar problems and just started a new request
