Can't boot into Clockwork Recovery

Hi guys,
So just received my Nexus 7, the device is rooted and i'm trying to flash clockworkmod to the device.
So far, i've tried both of the toolkits in the developement section, ROM Manager and also flashing the recovery through ADB with the images in the development section too...
With some of them, after selecting recovery from the bootloader, it just stays on the "Google" logo, on other, it just boots up.
The device has no issue's booting, it's just Clockwork that won't boot.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Have you rebooted into recovery after flashing and made it perminent? Otherwise the stock recovery will get flashed back (immediately)..

Usually I temp boot CWM, but today I flashed it on both my GNex & Nexus7. Can easily go back to stock recovery if required...

Thanks for the link mate, hadn't seen that one before and indeed, CWM is now working.
Much appreciated.

No problem. When you exit CWM it tries to fix it anyway. Not sure if it just moves the file or what, but the key is to boot into CWM straight after flashing it (I made the same mistake this morning)..

I'm having the exact same issue...so If I re flash the Recovery as Markey Said will I lose the contents of my Internal memory or not?

hope this helps

if your using cwm i found to boot into recovery you have to have the 7 plugged into your computer with the micro usb..i dont know why but it worked for me..are you using the side bottons to get into recovery..if so plugged the cable in first then try to enter recovery

Easiest way is grab quick boot from the play store and it will let u reboot to cwm.. As above said a pc is needed because of a bug.. U can also do it connected to a phone if u have otg cable

I already Know that
but I'm asking about the button combo approach because, it is very important ; in case you brick your device and you can't boot it and obviously you cant lauche rom manger

You can access CWM through the power, up, down method and choosing recovery mode.... the tablet MUST be plugged in though... at least for me it does. Running CWM6 Touch....

AT&T Galaxy S4 Wont Boot into Recovery

I have a client's Atnt galaxy s4 that will not boot up normally and will not boot into recovery also.
when i try to boot into recovery i get the blue lettering in the top left and it just sits there i have let it sit for sometime like that with no change.
this is not my first go around with flashing android devices so please even give me Dev only options if that is what you think will fix it. i feel bad because he just bought this phone 2 weeks ago and cant use it. not sure what the other guy that tried to root it did and neither does he so i am shooting in the dark so any help would be great.
I have tried flashing the stock Odin package with no luck.
Also tried Kies Firmware upgrade with no luck
Most of the custom recovery for this phone from what i read are not flashed threw odin anymore, but if i am wrong please link me and i will give it a shot.
Dose anyone have any ideas someone told me to use the .PIT file and re-partition the device and reflash the stock odin package. but i have had no luck locating the .pit file for the I337 galaxy S4 could anyone grab it from there phone and upload it for me or any ideas on how i could possibly fix this issue.
Thanks in advance

Since you already tried ODIN, why don't you try KIES.

I tried that allrdy just forgot to add it to the list updated first post

Copied this from another thread, guy was having same issue.
EDIT: Problem solved by scott14719. Here it is: As soon as you feel the phone vibrate, immediately let go of the power button but continue to hold the other buttons until the recovery boots, then let go of them.
Phone goes into download mode ok?

ok i will have him give it a try
and yes it goes into downloading mode with no issues at all.

if the os isnt hosed just download goomanager and install the recovery then download a touchwiz rom that has an extended reboot menu, you can then just boot into recovery from the OS.

If you can get into download mode and odin it should wipe everything, it should work. Maybr its hardware?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

In addition to letting go of the power button after the vibrate, here are a couple of other things that appear to have worked for other forum members. I didn't discover any of these fixes, I just did a lot of reading and saw where others have had similar problems and found ways to solve them. That is what makes the XDA community great:
Uppercuticus said:
I've had this happen to me several times while playing around with flashing. Basically (without fail in my experience), hold power+volume up+home as you'd normally do until you see the booting recovery message and let go. It will do one of two things - boot into recovery- or - restart and vibrate-. If it restarts and vibrates, immediately hold power+volume up+home until the booting recovery message pops up again and let go. It should then boot into recovery and you shouldn't have trouble in subsequent attempts.
It took me a while to figure this out and I actually thought I had permanently bricked my phone as the phone wouldn't boot and I couldn't get into recovery. Hope this helps.

Just flash a different custom recovery tar in odin. If ur using CWM, then flash TWRP, or vice versa.

After using ODIN, make sure to do a software (factory reset) to get rid of any data and settings that stayed behind. The firmware packages that we have for Odin, do not wipe everything on their own.

here are all the details;
Rooted ATT Galaxy S4 MK2 with Busybox. all went well until I tried to flash and boot into recovery. Installed ClockworkMod Recovery, tried to reboot into recovery...permission error. Installed Team Win Recovery, same problem.
investigated... Superuser.apk for some reason is NOT present in app directory. hmm. checked for root, have root.
installed ClockworkMod Superuser from play store... asks to update superuser... fails with signature error.
There seems to be no way to flash this phone. I have the original backup I made with ClockworkMod but restore fails with signature error.
The phone works fine, has root but I am concerned I will not be able to update to 4.4 when it's available. I am also NOT able to flash any alternative ROM. frustrating.
I see there are relatives to this issue all over xda but as far as I can tell after a weekend of trying is there's NO WAY to boot into recovery with write permissions being allowed.

Hard bricked phone?

Hello everyone,
I recently tried to flash a kernel and it seems that it was a corrupted download or something of the sorts and no whenever my phone powers on, the phone sits on a black screen and just vibrates. I have gotten into download mode and ODIN'd it with the stock image but it put me right back at the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue and if so can itt be fixed?
Thanks in advance!

It would help to know what device you have, what firmware you where on and what kernel you tried to flash

I'm not for sure about it being hard bricked if you can still get into download mode. Did you use a jig to get into download mode becuz I think that would be the only way to get to it if it was hardbricked,if not you may be able to get the pit file and fix it

In settings, about device would show the firmware. If you odined and you were on the mdl firmware. You can't get into recovery right now? Only download mode? Did you try to flash a rom before the kernel? I assume you have an i337?

After odin says sucessful,you have to remove the battery cause it will be stuck stuck on the download screen and go into recovery and factory reset the phone and it should boot right up.I dont think your phone is hard-bricked if you was able to use odin.

yeah i have done the samething. i went from stock rooted and had cyanogenmod 10 successfully downloaded and running one night. The next morning i installed ktoonsez kernel 100% certain it was for my cyano and everything i was running and its 90% hard bricked. The only thing i can do is get it into odin mode. Ive also flashed my att ucuamdl file with odin to try and reset it and it has said successful. The only thing i had checked was t ime reset and reboot. So i pulled the battery to try and fire it back up and nothing happens but a black screen and a little vibration. Kind of pisses me of since im not the only one who has had this happen. So far ive still had no luck with anything about the phone. no recovery, no nothing. Anybody else know anything?

If you can get into odin mode flash the mdl file again but make sure you have nothing ticked such as the f rest time or auto boot.And once you done pull out your usb cord and it should still say downloading on the screen.So pull the battery and then place it back in but dont boot up go into recovery what i do to get in recovery is hold the volume up,power and home button until i see the recovery booting sign at the top left corner then i let go off the power button and hold the volume up and home button until it boots into recovery.but when you go into recovery it will download the install the mdl file so you might have to do the recovery part twice after it installs the file then factory reset your phone and it should boot right up.

I know that you would think that it would be the newbie mistake to install an tw kernel on top of a aosp ROM, but I made 100% sure to choose the correct ROM. I know the difference between touch wiz and also.
Also, sorry to hijack the thread I just saw it and figured since we both have the same problem we might all solve it together.

[Q] S4 Bricked?

So I installed the hyperdrive rom and was having trouble with the wifi so i downloaded the kernel in a seperate zip. went back in recovery, and installed everything, kernel kept erroring in recovery while installing, I decided to restart, and it asks if i want to prevent stock recovery from installing. Not sure what I hit, as I was clipping on the back, but whatever i did, now when the phone boots up, it vibrates for about 1 second, the screen stays black. It does this about every 10 sec. I can get into download mode so i tried installing the stock firmware with ODIN but i still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

Can you link to the kernel you installed. Also are you on mdl firmware and was Odin successful out were there errors?

yes. i think it bricked because when i rebooted, the recovery asked if i wanted to prevent the flashage (is that even a word?) of the stock recovery, and atm i was putting on the back, so i may have hit yes.

if you can get into download mode and that's stable and not rebooting on you. I'd look at then using Odin once in download mode and the cf-auto-root tool to get back to a working phone. you may lose data but may get out of the bricked state

Did you ask in the carbon thread?
Chances are it was a wipe issue.
Did you wipe in stock or aosp recovery?
You can always get back to stock by flashing the stock firmware.
I did this via booting twrp then flashing to both slots.
So unlock storage in twrp, then go flash the ROM, reboot recovery and it'll change slot.
Then flash it again.
Then reboot
Should boot
If not boot to recovery again (not twrp) and wipe system and data.
Should work then..
I didn't have that issue when carbon myself
If push comes to shove there's a tool to get back to stock @meffles has suggested it a few times but I've not used it myself, although he has and he swears by it.
Probably a good way to go and won't be hard.

Don't think so but you can go to any version using this tool (depending on whichever version you choose to download).
But yes, you can go back to android 10 from 11 no problem.

I'll have a look, thank you

Least that's my loose understanding of it.
What does the thread say??
Ps: looks like the application has stopped responding..
Make sure you have ran it as an administrator and that all pre requisites are installed that the application requires..

Turn your phone off, and make sure you don't have any cables connected. Hold volume up + volume down for 20 seconds, then plug in the usbc cable whilst still holding the volume buttons. You should see it spring into life. If not, then you need to check your drivers, which is covered in the link I provided you with.

I've taken it to a shop for repair
