[Q] No recovery mode Jiayu g4

I have a Jiayu g4. There is no way I can get into recovery mode. I tried everything to flash CWM.,but I can not get into recovery.
When I want to flash CWM, the app. Jiayu es/ Mobile Uncle Tools or SP flash asks if I want to reboot into recovery. Then the phone reboots, and the only thing I see is that the screen is lighting up a bit at the edges. I also have no boot animation when the phone is booting. After awhile the screen becomes black, and when I push the power button, I'm back at my homescreen. I flashed several Roms with SP Flash Tools, because that,s the only way to flash for me.
It seems that I can get into recovery mode, but I can not see it because there is no boot animation. When I choose Install Rom in the Jiayu es app. And when I highlite '" I have installed the CWM Recovery Wipe data/cache/dalvik . The phone reboots, and when the phone is rebooted, all my apps are gone and I,m back with a clean Rom without all my apps. But when I choose Install Rom, the phone reboots but I can not see anything happening except that the edges are lighting up a bit. Then after awhile I push the power button and the screen turns black/lightens up/ and black again. After I pushed power button I,m back at my homescreen and I still have the same Rom I had before I flashed.
Another strange thing is that after I tried to flash the new Rom, I open Rootexplorer and look into the map JIAYUES/ROMS and the Rom is disappeared. Is there a way that I can get back the boot animation, or is it a hardware problem.
I wonder if its a hardware problem

Install unclemobile tools from playstore and install cwm from there, that worked for me. But pay attention, there are 2 cwm options, one to just boot in cwm, and one to actualy install it. Make sure you pick the right one.

Hi, I have a Jiayu G4S and I installed a 4.2.2 - 4.4.2 and since there is no recovery.
When I press the power button and the volume up charger plugged in, it just seems to Jiayu subtitles and to do nothing.
How to repair recovery?
The android system is ok, only recovery fail.
Sorry for y english.
Please help, thank you in advanced!

Use the mobile uncle app to install recovery again (note that the recovery.img has to be on your sd-card/phone memory). If it won't install, try to boot into recovery trough mobile uncle app and install recovery from there with a flashable zip. You can find the mobile uncle app in play store.

I know this thread is old, but just in case: There's no way I've been able to get into the recovery of my G4S. I've tried it manually and with a handful of apps, like mobile uncle. Even when I ask it to flash the CWM recovery from the mobile uncle app, it asks to boot to the recovery but instead it just boots up regularly. Any ideas?

You could search if there's a posibility to do it through adb? Is your phone unlocked?

[Q] Recovery Boot Loop Problem

Had a problem. Hope someone with experience can give me a few answers.
Nave new t-mobile Note 3, SM-N900T. Stock 4.4.2 KitKat Touchwiz rooted.
Rooted to enable SDFix to use SD card as I want to use it.
Everything great! No problems.
Thought it would be wise to have a Nanoid backup.
Opened Rom Manager and made One change in prefrences. I set it for external SD card storage. (mistake?)
Went to 'Backup current Rom' in Rom manager, started it and it started to reboot. Shut down and restarted in a 'Recovery' boot loop??
No matter what I did, Tried holding power, up volume and home button, nothing. Boot loop continued. Removed battery, waited, as soon as I re-installed battery it instantly went back into recovery boot loop.
I don't know what I did, I kept removing battery and trying again and again and all of a sudden, it booted up back to KitKat and now everything is working great again. No problem on any standard reboot.
What happened? I have used this same set up on my S3 and never had a problem.
I would like to backup the current setup for any future problems. But now, I'm afraid to even try.
I removed Rom Manager and re-installed. Made sure that the storage location was reset to internal and it should be OK??
What did I do when I got out of the Recovery boot loop??
So, afraid to try again. Don't want the boot loop again.

Hi. What recovery are you using?
If you haven't installed a custom recovery, then that explains your issue. Basically, the app scheduled a custom recovery script which kept failing in the stock recovery. You should normally be able to reboot into the system holding the power button, thus skipping going to recovery. This also resets the recovery script so everything is back to normal.
Nandroid is normally only possible using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
I saw that you might be able to perform a Nandroid without restarting the phone (so without a custom recovery) using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en
I have never tried it. Looks promising though.
But please note that you won't be able to restore the backup without a custom recovery.
EDIT: If you do have a custom recovery, why not boot in recovery mode and make the backup from there?
Cheers

Recovery Boot Loop Problem
I have CWM installed. Setup thru Rom Manager as I have done before on other phones.
Tried it again, same thing. Over and over. Constant reboot. Dosen't matter if I hold the power button or try different ways, same thing.
It says: Recovery booting
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit:recovery
If I remove battery and wait a couple of minutes, I can install battery and it dosen't start till I hold power button.
So I held volume down, home button and power button and booted into download mode. From there I cancelled and it rebooted normally.
Everything I've read on boot loops always say 'boot into recovery'. I only wish I could. That's the bootloop.
Any idea on what's wrong?
Thank you for your time and trouble.

Have you tried booting directly into recovery?
So just shut off your phone and then open it by holding volume up + home + power. It should boot into recovery. If it doesn't, I recommend installing cwm or TWRP using Odin instead of Rom manager.
Might be a problem with your current recovery.

Yes, I tried. Does the same thing.
I've never used Odin. All the info I've read mentioned downloading USB drivers and using different .tar files. Checking this and that.
Nothing I've ever done.
No experience with it.
Never had a reason before to use it.
Every instruction website I've read all seem to be different.
I'm gonna have to find out, huh? lol
I've got Odin on my computer, and have the CWM 6 zipped file.
Will do some research.
Thanks

No problem.
A few tips with odin:
-If you have Kies installed, you don't need to install other drivers.
-The file you flash with Odin should have tar or tar.md5 extension
-you have to activate USB debugging from developer options.
-boot your phone into download mode
-run Odin as administrator
-connect your phone. you should see the text Added in Odin. If don't see it, you need drivers.
-you should make sure only auto reboot and f. Reset time are checked
-you should put the file in Pda or Ap(if using latest version)
Click start and wait until it finishes. It will restart itself if you checked auto reboot.
That's about it. It's very safe and easy to use.
Watch some videos on YouTube. You will definitely find some.
Cheers

Update: The install of CWM with Odin seemed to be successful. Still have same problem.
I believe the problem must be somewhere else.
Something is stopping the recovery boot. More research ahead.
When I find out more, will post here and give update.

Strange. You could try TWRP instead of CWM. I use TWRP and really like it:
Here is the download link for your device: http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
This is the Odin flashable recovery.
Here is TWRP page: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/
EDIT: One more thing. Are these the exact steps you are following when booting into recovery?
"To access recovery mode on your Note 3, turn off the device and press Volume Up+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 4-6 seconds. When the screen lights up and you see the Samsung logo, release the Power button but keep Volume Up+Home keys pressed until you see the recovery menu screen"
Cheers

Yes, if I use the buttons, the download mode comes up saying 'Boot failed'. That's holding the vol. button 'up'. If I hold vol. down, it loads download mode correctly.
If I try to enter recovery thru Rom Manager, Recovery tries to start and the boot loop starts. ??
I may try TWRP. I've heard a lot about it.
Thanks for the links.

Success!! TWRP works!!
Installed with Odin and it started up fine. Backed up system on my Ext. SD card and rebooted back to OS.
Perfect!
Don't know what happened to CWM but problem is solved thanks to your help.
If your ever in Winter Haven, Fl area, I'll buy you a steak dinner.
Thank you.

OnePlus One suddenly wont boot.

Hi.
My OnePlus One wont boot up anymore.
I was playing dead trigger 2, when suddenly the phone froze (first time the it happend)
I restarted it with holding down the power button.
After restart, it hung on CM11 boot screen, not boot loop, but let it load for 10min, still at CM11 boot screen.
Restart again with power button, but this time it wont boot past OnePlus One boot screen, after the first boot screen, it is a never ending boot loop.
I was able to get to recovery (TWRP), tried to reinstall ROM (CM11 nightly 04.10.14), still boot loop after OnePlus One boot screen.
Tried to wipe date, cache, dalvik, and reinstall, still boot loop.
I am able to get to fastboot.
So what is the next thing to do?
Try to flash back to stock? How can I do this without format internal storage?

Use "adb pull" to extract any files you want to recover.
Then flash back to stock. It will automatically wipe everything.

data/wipe and then advanced and wipe system as well. then reflash rom and gapps. do this after you backup all your stuff but you should not try and restore with TB after you get it back up and running. Just my opinion

I tried literally everything..
I was on multi rom and using Mahdi and CM11s(Internal).
Then i stuck in black screen that my phone wont wake up but LED was blinking. Did a reboot holding power button.
After that when I selected the internal rom it just gave a vibration and came to CM boot logo. Now I tried reflashing 3-4 roms doing whole wipe but no change. Then I flashed Stock with toolkit and it says successful but no booting..
Totally worried.. Please someone help here.. :crying:

I know you are upset but you say you have tried everything. Did you try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
Edit: Also there's no crying in rooting!

So, I just used fastboot to restore it back to stock, and it is STILL bootlooping after OnePlus One screen.

Downloaded files from this site, and extraced the XNPH33R zip file, and run the flash.all file.
It says completed after writing everything, no error. But still wont boot up:/
So I tried installing every file manually following this guide: http://www.androidheadlines.com/page/2. No luck

The same problem here. I started facebook, It rebooted, 10 mins of CM logo, power off - neverending bootloop.
Reinstalled all via fastboot, ... still in bootloop.
RMA ?

BACKUP FIRST!

I have the same issue! Suddenly the screen froze. He did not respond to any button, either physical or capacitive. It was well for several minutes (20). Finally I opted for a "hard reset". I turned it on again and this time the screen froze while loading Cyanogen (Hexagon logo). Never happened there. 30 minutes later, I opted for a new "hard reset". Since then, never goes to the home screen (1 + logo and "powered by android"), reseteándose again and again, over and over again without end. Bootlooping :crying::crying:
I have tried everything to get it back, enter in the "recovery", delete data, cache, factory reset ... nothing makes then pass the initial screen.
I even managed to flash with CWM recovery and ADB one posteriomente whole mod, nothing works...

stuck in loop, possibly a different kind of loop

I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.

Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.

success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!

stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..

When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

After flashing TWRP, use the volume and power button to select recovery. Once in TWRP, wipe cache, data, reboot.

nexus 5 stucked on google screen and twrp startup failure

hi, this is my first time on xda and I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong here. I'm using nexus 5 since last 3 years and I was thinking of rooting it cause there is no official update after 6.0.1. so, I unlocked the bootloader installed twrp recovery and when I tried opening the custom recovery for the first time ever and it opened with some loading screen for 3-4 seconds then turned off and got stuck on the google screen and after 2-3 seconds it starts again. I searched everywhere but there was nothing like my problem. Now I don't know what to do cause I can't even open the custom recovery to wipe the data.
can anyone help me out in this situation?
thanks

Thank you so much for your help but it took me no where. I tried cleaning the data and cache and now im stucked in animation loop. Lol

You flashed twrp using fast boot commands?
After flashing twrp, did you boot into twrp from the fast boot screen?

This is called a boot loop.

First off I'd like to know what did you do to unlock your bootloader? What version of TWRP did you use? Are you sure it was for the right device?
But what you're in is called a boot loop, which is the result of a error in the OS. If it's still doing this what I want you to do is wait until it is shut down then hold power + VOL Up + VOL Down and wait until it brings up the bootloader (if it does at all.) If you access that hit the VOL Down button twice to open recovery mode. If it tries to enter the TWRP custom recovery and you get that error again, I can't help ya. If it enters the stock recovery you're golden. Hit the VOL down button until you're on the wipe data/factory reset and hit the power button. This should clear out your phone. Hope this helps.
