make an empty zip file, name it "ASUS_BUNDLE.zip" and put it in your external sd card Don't put it in any folder straight to SD card.
boot into droid boot and select SD download option, done your phone will boot into recovery.

cant get into recovery

i cant get into my recovery, i have a recovery image, im on cm7 rc3, i tried flashing to the stable using rom manager, but i get stuck on the htc screen, i take out the battery, try flashing the normal way, and im still stuck on the htc screen, what can i do? i deleted gapps off my sd card and put the new one in, but i didnt flash right away, i tried flashing cm7 stable first, dont know if thats what caused the issue. thanks for your help
It puzzles me you say you can't get into recovery but you posted you tried flashing the rom threw rom manger and the " normal " way. I'm thinking the normal way is from your recovery. If you can get into recovery try this. Make a nandroid of your current rom. Then do a full wipe. As in data,cache & dev-cache. Then flash the rom and see if it boots up. If it does. Reboot back into recovery and flash the gapps. then reboot. See if that works. If you cant actually get into recovery just post back and either myself or fellow xda members will try and help you out.

i cant get into recovery at all, what i wrote was i tried flashing the cm7 stable from rom manager first, but it got stuck on the htc screen, then tried the normal way which is holding down the red button and clicking on the reboot-recovery option, and still got stuck on the htc screen. these are the only two ways i know to get into recovery, and holding down the volume down button and the power button, which didnt work for me either, basically i cant get into recovery. i thought it was because i deleted my gapps and didnt flash the new gapps file as soon as i put it in my sd card,but im not sure if that is the reason.
With power off
To boot into recovery you
Press & hold the red power button & press & hold the home buttom untill you see your recovery. Or Peres & hold the power button then press and hold the volume down button. A white screen will appear. When you see the white screen press the home button and wait. Your recovery should appear. If you just deleted your gapps zip from your SD it would not effect your recovery at all. I think your just caught in a boot loop and your not booting into recovery the correct way. But I'm not sure.let me know if this works. What recovery are you using???

Pull battery, replace battery.
BEFORE POWERING ON DEVICE, press and hold HOME key.
WHILE HOLDING HOME KEY, press and release power button.
WHEN HTC LOGO APPEARS, release HOME key.
You should now be in recovery.

Then just go into ROM Manager and re-flash the recovery.

If I'm not mistaken can't you tell rom manger were to look for the recovery you want to flash?? If so and you have a copy of the recovery on your sd you can flash it.

how about if he had said no?
thats just straight up a creek right?
I am having the same problem...except I never actually got Cyanogen flashed. I rooted my phone. Installed SuperUser to fix permissions. Installed Rom Recovery and flashed the Clockworks Recovery. Then I backed up the Rom and when I went to boot into recovery to flash Cyanogen, I just get the white HTC screen. I get the same issue with manual recovery (holding down home and turning the power on). I can boot normally, but I can't restore my backup or use any other recovery features. Any ideas?

Ok....I tried one more time using the Volume Down and Power, then selecting Home and for whatever reason it worked. So I cleared my cache and then I selected to installed zip from sdcard and selected the cyanogen zip file. I get E: Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.0-Hero-signed.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Anyone know what that means?

Could just be a bad download. Redownload it and try again. Or it could mean its the wrong type of file. Or the zip needs to be signed.

[Q] Can't get nook to boot in recovery mode???

Ok, so I just got a nook and went through the steps of rooting it by following this tutorial here: http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/nook-color-cm7.html which eventually led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I then tried to put gapps on my nook so I could get android market but I can't get the nook to boot into recovery mode! I started searching through alot of forums and noticed many people saying you need to have ClockworkMod Recovery which I thought I already had. But in my rom manager it says "You mush have the CLockworkMod Recovery installed to flash and restore ROMs!" So apparently I can't go into recovery mode because I don't have it?? I don't know how to install it either because all the tutorials start out with a stock nook and my nook already has gingerbread on it. I'm extremely cautious to try anything because this is my first time rooting. What do I do????
Well, I figured out how to install Clockwork through the rom manager and I just noticed an update in the bottom bar. It just gave me the option to add google apps and it's downloading as I type this. Confused about recovery mode and the little penguin now.

Idk if you figured this out yet but in case you didn't, what you were supposed to do is download the latest gapps which is 200110613 if your using latest cm7. Then put that zip in the boot partition of your sd card. Put the sd card back into your nook and boot into recovery by holding down the N and power buttons. When the loading screen appears you release the buttons. It then will install gapps to the sd card and power down when its done.
Tip: If you cant time the release of N and power to get gapps installed. Just let cm7 load up then hold power select reboot then select recovery.

What I ended up doing actually is rerooting it to run nightlies instead of the stable version 7.0.3. It rebooted into recovery mode and worked like a charm.
When am I supposed to see the option to Boot to Recovery? I have tried timing holding N and power and that didn't work. I tried holding the N till script appeared but only option ended up booting to B&N Nook Color.
How do I forec a Recovery boot?

Holding power + home doesn't bring up recovery either?
You'd then need to adb flash the recovery or make an sdcard bootable and put the sdcard recovery on there which would then be started by the device and then you can fix from there. Go with the one you have already available first.

no ive tried holding power + home but all it does is turn off the nook and i have tried using a bootable sd card but the nook doesnt seem to want to boot up on that either. As of using adb i have tried to use it but it will not connect to the device for me to flash anything to it. It may be to my lack of experience using adb or fastboot.

You are holding power too long. Hold power and n together for a few seconds releasing power first followed by releasing n. It should boot to recovery (either stock or CWM).

Your emmc is messed up. I suggest you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a and then use that to install a plain stock zip from item 6. That should repair the files on emmc and you can start over with CM11.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
If you mess up the internal emmc recovery, your nook will behave exactly as described.
(trust me, I've been there).
The cure is to (re)flash a working recovery from a sdcard recovery.
Some people complain that it's hard to get their device to boot from sdcard.
Sometimes it helps to plug in your nook to entice it to boot from sd.

Did you install a custom recovery before trying to install your custom rom?
If you are able to boot into recovery, then you should be able to connect the tab to your computer and put files onto the tab. You should be able to do this even if there is no custom rom installed. Does odin not detect the tab if it's booted into recovery? If so, you might try pushing files with adb onto the tab. If adb doesn't recognize the tab, then you might need to reinstall the drivers on your computer and/or try with a different cable, if you can get hold of one. It might be helpful to describe in more detail what exactly you did and what is failing.
I did this once, I booted into download mode, flashed an original rom from Odin and then put the zip files from my PC and flashed them.

[Help] Unlocking bootloader D-405N

I use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-custom-t2839690
But I cant find recovery.img on my phone and I use another recovery. Now I want to go in Recovery Mode but I have only LG logo and in left up corner is:
[490] fastboot_int()
[590] USB init ept @ 0xffdc000
[610] udc_start()
Besides when I restart phone, my phone turn on normally. I think that the fault of a bad file recovery.img. Someone can send me recovery.img on D-405N? Or help me with this problem? Best Regard, Damian.

all of them, its for all lg l90 D4xx devices.
I recommend using this one TWRP_2.8.4.0_160115_L90.img
Ok It's done, thank you. But i have another problem... I put on my SD card ROM but Team Win Recovery Procjet doesn't see zip file. Why? SD card must be in Ext2?
sd card should be in fat32
make sure you are looking into right directory, in twrp you can choose between internal and external sdcard. if you cant see it on external memory try putting it into internal.
I have another problem... -.- I install ROM but when i turn on phone is LG logo, T-mobile logo and I wait and nothing. Someone can help me?!
which rom did you install?
maybe try to do full wipe and reinstall it

just pull your battery out
and this how you can get into recovery, its from that thread for unlocking bootloader etc
HOW TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY PRESSING VOLUME AND POWER KEY
You can reboot to recovery via flashify app or following key combination: -
Power of your phone press both Volume Down + Power Button same time, As soon as the LG logo appears release both buttons and immediately press and hold same buttons (Volume Down+Power) again. Now Factory data reset screen will appear saying "Erase all user data & restore default settings?". Use volume down key to select "Yes" and press power button to confirm and now you should be in recovery.
