just letting you know cus so far no one's been posting around about this cus it's just a minor bug but if you can fix it for further builds that will be good

Bug founded

When restore/wipe than recovery restart not rebooting recovery.second time working?
If it's already noticed,solve in next version?
logcat:

Recovery restarts when try to fix permissions

Was anyone able to get fastboot working?
I remember it working in my home builds, but I don't recollect it working in this recovery though.

Is this "bug" only for me?

Edit: NVM, borked USB

edit: spoke too soon. Yes. adb *is* broken. works at times, doesn't work, at times.

edit: let's put this post to good use:

Don't give the crap that you're even interested in changelog. You just need something that works. You'd not even know if this is just the same file, with a different name.

Nand recovery partition burned

For those who are encountering NAND Recovery Partition burned.

booting on recovery,
TWRP logo shows
then go black screen
then TWRP logo shows again
then stucked at TWRP Logo.

SOLUTION:

1. BOOT into BOOTLOADER.

3. Download flash_erase.txt *rename and remove .txt* it's a binary file.(here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1655489&d=1358514526)
4. Flash any rom that has working ADB.
5. Push flash_erase on /system/xbin then set and fix permissions.
   
   Code:

   adb push flash_erase system/xbin/
   adb shell
   su
   cd system/xbin/
   chomd 755 flash_erase

6. Reboot
7. Then perform a NAND Recovery on /recovery partition. (Needs USB debugging enabled and Root access on Apps and ADB)
   
   Code:

   adb shell
   su
   cd /system/xbin
   ./flash_erase -N /dev/mtd/mtd1 0 0

I would suggest you do that not from the recovery.
You can also do the same procedure with any ROM booted and ADB or Terminal Emulator

yeah. i just cut the instructions. haha. they must flash ROM first then put flash_erase on /system/xbin.
then perform flash_erase -N /dev/mtd/mtd1 0 0.

it's only for those who got whole MTD partition got burned.
they can't boot into both /system and /recovery.

Edit: I updated my post already.

I have burnt my nand several times and i couldnt get into TWRP recovery at all ( stuck at the logo ). The solution I found was to downgrade to CWM 5 and then format boot/system/data. Then flash back TWRP 2.7 and superwipe for nand recovery - thanks to thewisenerd works like a charm.

i suggest you to still flash_erase your /recovery partition.
flashing another recovery on your /recovery partition doesn't recover bad blocks.

Yes right, - I was just giving a workaround if someone can't get into recovery - and what worked for me - after re-flashing TWRP i never had any problems with the recovery partition again.

Do you need to have your device to S-OFF?

Pico has no s-off so no developer expects it

Sent from my Xperia S using XDA Free mobile app

I have my Fastboot USB connected, and after typing the command, it justs " < waiting for device> " I tried removing USB a lot of times already and fastbooting USB.

That also happened to me. If youre using windows 8.1, maybe thats the problem. The only way was flashing through terminal emulator.

I have the recovery partition burned, but the instrutions to fix are not clear enough for noobs like me.

EDIT: Based on the @Agaphetos instrutions and from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389445

Note: This method WON'T work on Windows 8/8.1. It will work fine on windows 7.
Backup your apps and stuff before doing anything

1. Download and Install HTC Sync Manager http://www.htc.com/pt/software/htc-sync-manager/
2. Download and Install ADB fastboot drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (I dont know if this is really necessary)
3. Get the adb and fastboot drivers, you can use the ones from this recovery, just remove the "recovery.img" that comes with http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100
4. Download this PhilZ Touch Recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265055 and rename it as: recovery.img
5 Place the "recovery.img" that you have renamed to the "A310E Recovery" folder
6. Remove the Battery and SIM card (in case you dont have a mobile network plan) If the rom youre using has the "Reboot to Bootloader" option in "Power Menu" you can use that instead.
7. Place the battery, and press "Volume Down" and "Power Button" at the same time till you boot into "Bootloader".
8. Connect your phone to the PC and choose "Fastboot", it will show "Fastboot USB" in red, then go to the "A310E Recovery" folder and run the "recovery.bat". You have flashed the PhilZ Touch Recovery.
9. Press "Power Button" to exit "Fastboot". In "Bootloader" menu choose "Recovery" to enter in PhilZ Touch Recovery.
10. In there make a "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", "Wipe cache", go to Advanced: "Wipe dalvik cache". Go to "Mounts and Storage" and format everything except "/sdcard". (Maybe you dont need to wipe everything Ive mentioned:silly
11. Scroll down and choose "Mount USB storage".
12. Download a CM rom, Ive used this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535682, and place the .zip rom in root of sdcard. Im sure other CM roms will also work.
13. Download this AROMA Filemanager http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 and place it in root of sdcard.
14. Download (Save this file as) flash_erase.txt http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1655489&d=1358514526 and remove the ".txt" file extension and place it also in root of sdcard.
15. Flash the CM rom. Once flashed the rom go to "Mounts and Storage". Mount everything till you see all "unmount", go back.
16. Flash the "aromafm.zip". It will open AROMA filemanager. Scroll down and enter in "sdcard" and copy the "flash_erase" file, go back. Look for a "system" folder, scroll it down till you find one saying "xbin", enter there and paste the "flash_erase" file.
17. Look for the "flash_erase", and then long press it till you see a menu, choose "Set permissions". The first 3 lines should be all green already, Exit AROMA Filemanager. and reboot system.
18. Once youve booted into the CM rom, go to "Settings" -> "About Phone", In there scroll down to "Build Number" and press it several times to enable "Developer Options".
19. Go back and enter "Developer Options", make sure "Android debugging" is enabled. Connect your phone to the PC. Now go to "Terminal Emulator" and enter the following commands.

It will show up a message with something about 100% I cant remember:silly:
20. Boot into "Recovery" again, make a Wipe and Format everything, like you did in step .10.
21. In "Power Off" menu of the Recovery, choose "Reboot to Bootloader"
22. Plug in the phone in "Fastboot USB" and repeat the step .4, .5 and .8 but for the TWRP Recovery instead.
23. You should now be able to boot into the TWRP recovery, make sure you Wipe Everything again in "Wipe" -> "Advanced Wipe", except "sdcard". If the recovery reboots while wiping, reboot recovery and try again.

DONE!
