Unable enter recovery mode: Error 3F0

HP ENVY DV7T-7200
Windows 8 64-bit
Hi:
I just got the laptop above on Friday from my cousin (who wanted something MORE when this is an amazing computer as it is but I digress)... But since I didn't want his user files, name and software on there, I tried to do a recovery (which I chose the minimized option).
Sorry if this paragraph is vague, but I was half-asleep LOL... When it went halfway through, it gave me an error message about something to the tune of a software unable to be installed, which then was force-closed when I hit "retry", then there a sysprep dialog box that won't go away every time I restarted. When I try to restart it, it always boots into a blue menu that makes me choose my keyboard layout, then into something that gives me 6 choices, and would reboot to that same screen until I chose Windows 8 instead of a 3-letter choice.
However, when I rebooted and went into Disk Management, it was something like this:
| 1MB | 100GB C:\ | 1MB | 500GB unallocated | 1MB | Recovery (I think 25GB) | 1 MB | 3 GB unallocated | 1MB |
...I've had 2 HP laptops and 1 desktop before this and never saw anything like this, nor did a friend's Windows 8 Toshiba with similar specs have this problem, so I repartitioned it to merge all the unallocated/1MB slots with Easeus, but it crashed halfway through trying to merge it all with C:\ , then it rebooted before I could even see what the error message was, and now it's giving me a 3F0 error and won't let me into recovery mode via F11 or any WinPE / recovery disc I downloaded.
HP has agreed to fix this under warranty despite my goofs, but I REALLY need this computer for the weekend and can't afford to be without it for a week since lots of things on my DV9000 are starting to freeze/lag (it literally takes 45 seconds to open Chrome, I can't open Photoshop/Flash and have an urgent design project), and I was wondering if there are any steps I can take before the warranty box arrives.
Sorry for the long message, but I was trying my best to be specific. Thanks for your time!

BUMP
Still haven't received my CSO box, and it's been 2 days! Any solutions?

Unable to enter Recovery Mode for my iPad Air

Unable to enter Recovery Mode for my iPad Air
While updating my iPad Air to iOS 7.0.6, it went into an endless loop of cycling between the white Apple screen and the whirling dashes. I can't even reliably shut it down. It seems a prime candidate for recovery mode, but unfortunately I can't get it there. When I try to enter recovery mode by attaching to iTunes then pressing the home key and then reattaching theUSB cable when attached to iTunes, I just go back into the same endless loop Apple screen / whirling dashes cycle.
Right now I'm just waiting for it to power off by letting the battery run down, to see if that jumpstart brings it back up into a different state.
Anything else I can try? Or is my next stop the Genius Bar?
Thank you,
Matt

The timing on this has to be...just...right to enter DFU mode. If that won't work, plug the iPad Air into your computer and set the iPad into recovery mode, like so:
1) Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
2) Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
3) Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
4) When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.

Unable to enter recovery mode

I'm using a rooted Xperia SL and I'm unable to enter recovery mode. I was running on Doomlord's pre rooted Stock JB ROM for Xperia S and Trinity ultimate Kernel. The problem started when I tried to flash Sound Enhancements and Walkman app from XDA forums.
After it flashed and I rebooted my device, my phone just kept restarting without being able to get to the homescreen. So I entered TWRP screen and I reflashed the JB ROM. Now, even though I flashed a recovery using Fastboot, I'm still unable to enter recovery mode
I tried using goo.manager but still no luck! The rom works fine and it's prerooted and I can use it to function normally, but I'm not able to enter recovery to flash other apps
Please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Make sure the recovery is compatible with the rom and kernel you have on your Xperia

3GS Enters Recovery Mode randomly!

3GS bought when new, is now randomly entering Recovery Mode. Seems like it does it more often than not when I am out of town and away from my computer.
It has been doing this since 4.0 release. It is now starting to do it more frequently.
Any idea's would be helpful as I am about 2+ hours away from a Apple Store.

It has enterered Recovery Mode again, this time I cannot get it out. I was running iOS 5 B7, so I tried restoring to that, I get the message "the iphone iphone could not be restored. this device isn't eligible for the requested build".
So ok, not a biggy I will just go back to 4.3.5, nope. I get error 1015. Now I put the phone into DFU mode(black screen only) and try both ways. Nothing, it gets to installing my new firmware and either itunes crashes when it gets close to finishing or the same errors pop back up.
So now I downloaded a few different softwares, TinyUmbrella, and Recboot, those do not work either.
Any ideas?

ipad does not come on once its unpluged from power source,it enters recovery mode when both power and home botton are pressed with usb on powersource but does not come up at all when connected to computer or out of power source

What model iPad do you have? If it's an iPad 1, the battery may have expired and needs replacement.

My IPhone 4S keeps entering recovery mode after few hours

Hi,
I bought a new IPhone 4S from 12/2011. The first month of usage is fine but after I plug it into Itunes in my PC, problems start to appear. The phone keeps entering recovery mode (screen with itunes logo and USB cable) after a few days. Not long later, it automatically goes into recovery mode after 4-5 hours or randomly. I tried to hold the power with home button to kick it out but it goes back to recovery mode again after few hours. The following issues are also detected:
- Sometimes there is a blue horizontal line appear when device is rebooting with Apple logo.
- Any apps other than Apple's default apps cannot be accessed (tap the icon and it gets kick out to the home screen).
- A yellow screen is often seen and then device goes back to recovery mode by itself.
- 2 to 3 out of 10 attempts holding home and power buttons can get it out of recovery mode while 7-8 times this does not help.
I even use Itunes on PC to recover the phone as new Iphone. I went through all the settings as a new phone but the problem still persists.
I thought this is minor software issue but after seeing all these behaviors, I suspect this may a hardware-related problem.
Did anyone experience this problem before?
Cheers.

Enter recovery mode in M2

Hi! It tooks 2 days, while I could load a custom rom (Z4 XPERIENCE) to my phone. I do not remember, after the root, how could I enter the recovery mode. Everywhere I read, the following steps: - turn off - Push down key and power button - When phone vibrates release the power button, but do not release the down key Not works. I've tried to release the down key, when blue led is flash for a second, tried to push repeatedly the down button, tried to release the power button when Sony logo appears, and all of these combination. I've tried to use a Quick Boot application, push the recovery menu, but the factory menu is appearing. Can somebody tell me, how can I enter the recovery menu? I am using this: PhilZ_Touch_cwm6_M2_LB.flashable.zip

Doesn't helped, but I figured it myself. http://vaso.hu/blog/mobile/2015/06/sony-xperia-m2-enter-recovery-mode/ In my case, I should need to hold down the power and down key, and do not release any of them, and release both of them when blue led flash.

Iphone 3gs is suspended and enters recovery mode ios 6.1.3

I have an iphone 3gs with ios 6.1.3 update works well while you are discontinued on but the phone enters recovery mode, can not turn it on or off and when I connect it to the computer does nothing, I have restored several times since itunes when but the flaw allows continuous, wanted to know if there is solution to the problem. thanks

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

IPhone 4S suddenly enters Recovery Mode by itself?

Hi,
I need help recovering data from my wife's iPhone. It's an iPhone 4S, running iOS 5.0, un-jailbroken. She clicked on the app 'Dragon Story' and her phone went into recovery mode. Thing is, she has never backed up the iPhone since purchasing it in Oct 2011 even after numerous reminders from me. I know, I should have just done it for her. What saddens me is that we have lost all photos of our now 3 month old baby (2000+ photos).
It has never been jailbroken before, but I tried using Redsn0w, iRecovery, Recboot to kick it out of recovery mode but nothing works. Doing a hard reset just boots it back into recovery mode. Can someone please help me interpret the iRecovery log below and see what's wrong with it?

Entering recovery mode, starting command prompt
Can we recover the photos without doing a restore, and if we HAD to do a restore, can we recover the photos afterwards using third party software? Any suggestions and advice is most welcome. I think my wife has learnt her lesson, she was bawling her eyes out last night for losing all of our baby's pictures. Please help!
p.s. From what I've gathered, I can't kick it out of recovery mode because a bootrom exploit has not been found for the 4S. Should I wait unti one is released, or do you reckon it will never happen?
Thanks in advance guys.
Ben

Nevermind I was able to get out of recovery thanks to tinyumbrella

HT201412 iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 randomly enters recovery mode

Since two weeks ago my phone started behaving badly just before the new update was released.
While locked it happens that it enters recovery mode (iTunes says that, while another software I downloaed to try to force it out says it is on "soft DFU mode") and won't exit it for hours: indeed after a bunch of time I'm able to turn it back to functioning by pressing the Home Button and the Power Button in random sequences (when I mean random, I mean random: it doesn't just wake up following either the 'exit recovery mode' or 'exit dfu mode').
I restored it, yet the same still happens. It is now, basically, an unpredictable piece of junk metal.
Any ideas?
Notes: it is not jailbroken nor it has ever been, the software is up to date.

Try restoring as a NEW device (not from a backup) to see if it works properly.

How do you enter recovery mode disc utility?

On a mac mini server, how do you enter recovery mode disc utility? Before you roll your eyes, the problem I am having is obviously using bluetooth keyboard, on rebooting, it puts the keyboard to sleep so pressing CMD R whilst rebooting doesn't seem to register. Is there any way of doing this using bluetooth keyboard or do I need to get a wired keyboard?

Thanks, I couldn't tell because I don't have a Restore partition.

My iPad air is disabled because I endeterd the wong keycode and now and will not enter recovery mode

My iPad air is disabled because I endeterd the wong keycode too many times and now and will not enter recovery mode. I haven't a clue what to do next?

Follow the steps in this Apple support page.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
If you must use Recovery Mode, which is at the bottom of the linked page, follow all steps very carefully. Even hen you might have to try several times.
