Replicant

home+volume up+ power doesnt open recovery menu

Try taking usb cable out, remove battery, put battery back in, then press home+vol up continuously and power button in short burst. This assumes there is working recovery image flashed to the RECOVERY partition.

Could you please tell which device you flashed the images on and what images? Also, can you provide the commands that you used to flash the image to the phone?

We should not also forget that there is a possibility a hardware failure happened on the phone due to writing lots of data to the internal storage.

It also appears you were able to flash something but then Replicant didn't boot? Did it get stuck at some point? I flashed the replicant-6.0-0004-rc1-i9305.zip image on samsung's i9305 phone and I can confirm that when Replicant is booting it is stuck at the Replicant logo (waiting for maybe 5 min already and nothing happens). Is this the same issue you have?
