Accessing Recovery ? - Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development

Hey,
I'm stuck in a bootloop and would like to access the recovery mode...However I used to do that from the rom (Reboot -> Recovery or Reboot in Recovery from Rom Manager) which I can't do since I'm in a bootloop...
How do I access recovery ? Tell me it's not fastboot...the thing is a huge pain in Windows and I'm on holiday, not using my computer...
Thanks !

L'unico sistema è proprio il fastboot facendo bootare la recovery danny!!!

The only other way to go that i can see is using Odin Multiloader and reflash the system, as to my knowledge there is no way to access recovery outside adb (and one would need adb support which system recovery does not give) and from within the rom (which probably uses adb anyway).

This will put the tablet into stock 3.0.1 with root; you can then install other roms.
However, i suggest using fastboot, which is better; rs125 can give you the steps.

Oh **** this ****. I went the Odin way and lost all my data. Now I have to go through this all **** I went through when I first unlocked the tab that only really worked with Ubunty anyway. No adbwinapi.dll, no working fastboot, just stupid ****ing Honeycomb 3.0 with not even French on it. All this on vacation...
Sometimes I just consider to go with Apple just because I know I'll get updated and supported without having to go command line on evertything...
Now I've got a useless tablet. And I'm stuck with that ****ty tablet for one more year...

Bastava fare fastboot boot recovery.img e stavi in recovery...ODIN formatta l'intero sistema...è scontato
It was enough to "fastboot boot recovery.img" and went into recovery ...ODIN formats the entire system is taken for granted ...

yeah, that's the way to go: flashing unofficial custom stuff, bricking the tab, complaining about the endless possibilities such an open samsung device with an open OS offers, and then praising apple because of no command line issues. :cyclops:

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If so, you need to extract the boot.img file from the ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img]
Yes do I use google translate
I flashed my ROM and I get stuck on the HTC page, if I did the same when i restore

Tell us about your phone. How did you root? Which custom recovery are you using?
Also please read the above reply to your initial question!
I root from HtcDev and i install CWM
I test the fastboot tomorrow
Thank you

OK then that is definitely your problem.
Flashing the boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode will fix you up.
You will also need to do this when you restore a backup in CWM. You will manually have to flash the boot.img in the backup directory on your SD card.
Now when I want to turn it on (normal or recovery) it will not turn on but when I want to charge the orange light flashes
Thank you
I don't understand what i have to do :crying:

So did you pull the battery when you kept getting stuck on the HTC splash screen?
How many times did you try that and have to pull the battery?
Yes, yesterday ans today I had to remove a tens of times and tried to install the ROM about a stock tens of times as

So have you been able to try flashing the boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode yet? Or is that what you are trying to do now?
If you have indeed pulled the battery several times yesterday as you stated, then it could be possible that you now have a damaged emmc chip in the phone and that is why it will not boot.
I made the fastboot but he said he can not find the boot
And how can I do to boot it on something?

You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM's zip file and then copy it to the same directory where you have installed the fastboot.exe
Instead of cwm is that?

When you unlocked your IncS using the HTCDEV.com site, it had instructions on setting up the Android SDK tools adb.exe and fastboot.exe on your PC. That is the directory you should copy the boot.img file to.
Then you would use the same instructions to put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode like you did when you generated the unlock token, but you would enter the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[How to] Root from stock 4.2.x in 1 minute

Since I've seen many people downgrade to 4.1.2 just to use unsecure kernel first and root then upgrade to 4.2 and some still wonder how to install root on latest stock android, here's easy steps for you:
1. Let's say you have just installed factory image from Google. You don't need unsecure kernel. Download SuperSU Binary for CWM to your tablet.
2. Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
3. Type: fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img (where xxxxxx.img will be the filename of your favorite recovery. I choose CWM Touch since it's working good)
4. Boot to recovery and install SuperSU Binaries.
5. Reboot and you are done! Now you have fully working root without modified unsecure kernel fast and easy.
Note: tested it twice and it works. Hope this clears some questions.
Hit thanks if that helped you.
Have a nice evening!
Edit: Works for all android versions.
Actually, you forgot to mention unlocking the bootloader.
OK...so I will still get OTA updates?
I can beat that
Code:
fastboot boot superboot.img
Wait for the bootanimation (the colorfull X) to show up, reboot (by holding the power button till it reboots if it got stuck at the anim) - DONE

[Q] Looking for help. Cant boot phone, recovery nor use adb commands.

Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******
How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge

CWM trouble

Hi Guys,
A newbie here and of course I'm in trouble. HTC One International version.
Few weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader by HTC One Toolkit 1.9.3 and HTCDEV unlock token.
Installed CWM Mod Tuuch recovery.
Now I receive the E: Can't mount error with CWM...hence CWM won't also root the phone so it's Unlocked but unrooted.
Anyway, yesterday came the 4.3 OTA update...I downloaded and automatically tried to install it. It reboots to CWM and then of course get's stuck into CWM as it can't mount SD or anything...
Also for a strange reason whenever I go to Fastboot Windows 8 won't recognize the USB device...tried installin the HTC drivers, installed and uninstalled and installed again HTC Sync manager but still nothing...tried different USB cables, different USB ports..still nothing
What should I do to get CWM working and install the OTA?
The phone does boot to 4.2.2. ROM and works fine but as the OTA is downloaded is whines every now and then that I should install the update which I can't do..
Download an up-to-date recovery.img from the cwm thread and flash it via fastboot. There are several tutorials out there how to do that. Hope it will help

That's the question I keep asking myself....
Actually I thought of trying custom ROM. But then as the CWM had errord I had not the time to fiddle with that. So I thought that when I have time I'll deal with that.. Then came the update and surely I wanted to try the new 4.3 and Sense....
I guess now I need to have the time to deal with this..

Select 'Recovery' to boot into it.
Choose 'Mount' and check 'System'
Now try adb shell to check, if you have access to your Phone. If you have so, download a ROM, for example AICP, which I prefer, and copy it to your sd with this commad:
Code:
adb push C:\Path\to\you\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
If this completes successfull go to the homescreen of twrp -> Install and choose this zip file.
For AICP you have to flash GApps after you flashed the ROM. I'll provide you the links:
AICP: http://tunsd.de/downloads/ICJ/AICP/m7ul/aicp_m7ul_jb-mr2_unofficial_2013-10-19.zip
GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Push both zips to your sdcard as I described above and flash them in the priority I put the links..

Go into recovery fail: Do nothing and start to warmup.
Download twrp version 2.7.1.2-sp.img and twrp 2.8.6.0 and fastboot boot twrp.img: Nothing fastboot say ok and after that just nothing, watch start to warm
Download SamsungGearLive-sprat-ddPull-AdamOutlerDevice-24July2014.tar.gz ... inside lots of img's files, I've try to boot with recovery.img and.... nothing.
I'm soooo lost.

Ok first things first: is your bootloader unlocked? if not then you can't flash/boot anything that is not signed by the Samsung/Google for our specific watch. So you can't boot into TWRP unless you unlock it. fastboot oem unlock will unlock it, but for security purposes, it will also reset your watch to factory.
Thanks Aligatror, it is not unlocked, i wish to restore to stock and I've tried to boot from external google//samsung recovery with out look.
Regarding the stock firmware i can't find anywhere instructions about how to flash everything and were to find factory images.
Thanks!

Yes, it is a great tool, but there appears to be a broken bluetooth file in the v3 image which makes it impossible to pair watch to a phone. So, use V2 instead.

Which version did you download and what option did you select? Recovery boot message is normal when you do unlock since it erases the user partition. Select option to restore to stock or something like that in that program you downloaded. Just make you that you have version 2 and not 3.
I did with version 2 and 3 I do it by hand because linux script does not work.
I've flash boot recovery and system partitions included in the tool zip file.
And. ... nothing

Is it still stuck in bootloop? Can you boot into recovery from bootloader?
I can't boot into recovery. Only bootloader works.
Every time that I press recovery from bootloader I get an "recovering boot " forever

Lets try something more radical.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
And then flash boot, recovery and system.
No, I can't go into recovery, just Bootloader. recovery hangs and normal boot hangs too.
I have take a look to update script and it have a new img for partitions associated with it.. I have flashed all of them and.... nothing.

Try reflashing the bootloader itself. Download latest OTA update
sprat-LDZ22J-from-LWX49K.1e8de7cf.zip
Extract it and you'll see bunch of files "bootloader.xxxx.img". Flash all of the .img files.
fastboot flash apnhlos bootloader.apnhlos.img
fastboot flash aboot bootloader.aboot.img
.... and so on with all bootloader files.
Reboot bootloader and try booting into recovery or system.

It is exactly what I did yesterday and no luck!
The only thing that I coulden't did was flash 5.1.1 recovery, and other partitions because it come like .p files (dif images)
But thanks

Well I guess your only option is to flash to 4.4, flash older bootloader and request repair service from Samsung.

Is the watch effectively bricked once that image is flashed? I've come across your post too late after reading about the tool. Used v3, told the tool to restore to stock, the watch boots its image fine but the bluetooth is definitely broken now (phone won't connect to it). I can get to settings to enable ADB on wear but I can't authorize my PC it seems, never get the notification on the watch screen to allow the PC. It's just stuck at the initialization telling me to Install Android Wear on my phone.

Its not bricked, but the bluetooth is not working due to corrupted file. You can flash v2 no problem. Just make sure to do reset after flashing.
