What's up everybody! This is my first post here and I am what you would call a noob!
First of all I got tired of the 4.2.2 jb upgrade never coming to my htc one s and decided to give cyanogenmod 10.1 a shot (my first attempt ever tampering with mobile software)!
So I have unlocked the bootloader on my phone following a guide. It now says ''unlocked''
After that, I have tried to flash the paul recovery.img from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427 .
I have done it through adb with the command promt as it says on the article above!
The command promt apparently managed to do the job and it said ''finished'' as it should!
Then i rebooted the phone into recovery mode through the bootloader menu but it then stucks there doing nothing...I have left it for 5 minutes and it was still like that and i thought that the recovery wasn't succesful (i ve seen it going very fast at the clockworkmod menu at videos on youtube while mine was stuck). I then rebooted it by holding down the power button and it went to the sence screen normally.
Then i have tried the other recovery img described at the article...Same thing happened...Then the other one! Same thing again!
Every time i am trying to flash the recovery image the phone stucks in ''entering recovery...'' screen, doing nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, it will be much appreciated! I really want to dig custom roms...I' m a total geek
Thanks in advance!!

To boot into recovery, Hold VolumeDown + Power.
Edit: maybe you've done that, but make sure that you choose the correct recovery version. that is, match the version of your phone S3/S4 with the recovery.
Specific recovery for specific phone.

I have booted of course into recovery by doing that!
Can you tell me where i can find the right recovery for my S3 model?

Have the same problem (HTC one at&t) and that link he has that I clicked gives you a page of LIKE A WHOLE LIST of versions.. How do you know which one to choose?
plus spent all night trying to download the recovery.img from clockworkmod.com as well as other links and all I get is this LONG encrypted script page displayed, and not an actual FILE that prompts you to download. going crazy here!

The link works, i ve managed to do it but twrp is useless if you want to flash any roms...I have tried every known version of cm for htc one s and I can't flash any of them in my phone through the twrp recovery...Always fails for no apparent reason! If you want my advise, do not waste your time, cause it's almost certain that ig you flash any custom rom, you will loose the advantages of htc sense, including the camera performance and special effects and also the beautiful widgets...If anyone though knows how to flash a REALLY nice rom with twrp we will be glad to hear his/her suggestions!

sad part is I'm not going for anything fancy.. When I bought the phone (last week) it had version 4.1 on there and all I want to do is upgrade it to 4.2... and no it's NOT available through AT&T in anyways what's so ever.. hence the flash recovery chaos.
If no one response with a solid solution, then I'm just gonna let it be like you said.

No it wont affect.
By the way, TWRP recovery has been the most successful one with The One S.
Google twrp and Download it for VILLE (THE S4 MODEL HTC ONE S) and then flash it.

how did you resolved this issue, currently I am facing same issue, mobile got stuckn with the message "entering recovery". Please help.
Well, im in a pickle. Im a GN2 user and I come to you with questions. This is in regards to my wifes phone, the one s. I went through all steps properly to achieve root (or so atleast I thought), I did not s-off. I had a working recovery and rooted phone running a custom rom and things were great. Now, Im not sure what happened exactly, but one day I tried to boot into recovery and I seen a quick flicker of cwm then it went back to hboot. I thought that all I would have to do is reflash recovery through cmd (im using win7) so I did this. This did not work. It gave me the ol green circular arrows on blk screen then the red triangle. Power down reboot and it still boots normally. Now heres the part thats hard to admid. I found this device was not worth the damn trouble it was giving me so as a metaphorical 'f u' to the phone, through hboot I chose reset device. Things dont seem to be any different but I know I f'd something up. I still have (or atleast I believe) an unlocked bootloader but thats where the truck stops. Thanks guys.

Hello everyone and happy new year
I unlocked my asus tf700 using asus unlocker...
Rooted fine, with super user
Installed clockwork mod recovery 6.0.4.4
Tablet stock is 4.1.1
The problem is that no matter which rom I install... when it finally boots up it goes to the setup screen no problems.
I enter timezone etc etc then rom loads then after a minute or so the system freezes for a few seconds then restarts..
I cleared cache , have done a factory reset, and tried different roms listed in the tf700t section of xda.
I rooted countless phones and tablets and never had this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you inadvanced!!!!

Check your bootloader. You have to be on 10.6.1.14.4 or higher for any of the current roms.

Hmmm i didnt know that, i never had to mess around with that with any of the phones or tablets that ive done in the past.
When i load up android it boots up and says bootloader 10.4.4.5 i guess thats not the correct version. For some reason I'm drawing a blank on how to update the boot loader...

You tried different roms from XDA and missed the section in the OP about warnings, requirements and instructions in each one of them???
It's usually the part in red with the huge letters, the part that says: READ ME
To get your bootloader to a current version you can flash the latest firmware from Asus. You would have to reinstall the custom recovery via fastboot afterwards of course.
Or you can download the bootloader/TWRP package in the OP for CROMi-X and flash that. Again: depending on which rom you want to flash, you may have to change to a different recovery afterwards.

The funny part of it all is that I'm color blind lol.
Ok I updated to the correct bootloader and so far so good.
I was honestly surprised that I missed that part as well, but as I read it I thought to myself hmm but you knew that!! Lol
One quick question though, now when I boot into boot loader holding down the power and up there's only 3 icons instead of 4. The USB icon isn't there anymore.. Is that normal
Btw I'm on a cm 11 update.. Fingers crossed
Thank you again for your time

Good! Glad you worked it out. Maybe wearing green colored glasses while reading forums would help
ICS: 4 icons in bootloader, push Volume Up on flashing USB to get into fastboot
JB: 3 icons and you're in fastboot by default.
Or was that from JB 4.1 to 4.2? Can't remember... My problem is a serious case of CRS...
The glasses would come in handy here again: Read the script: "Starting fastboot protocol" Admittedly the script is tiny, but still: Read man! Read! The stuff is there for a reason!
LMAO

Very Good, everything worked out perfect and thank you!
You made me laugh with the green glasses comment lol.
I'm on kitkat nightly .. Seems OK. I notice some lag but nothing crazy.. I was thinking about going to paranoid or another ROM but who knows lol.
I installed cm on two kindle fires last night with the adb... Thank god for development ,damn that kindle skin blows.. No app store just the amazon app store, what a bunch of crapppp...
But thank you again for taking the time out to help.
I'm lost.... Phone is stuck at the red electric eye animation. I can so a hard reset, actually did that several times, but the phone always stops in this animation. I haven't changed anything in a while other than downloading an app to reboot the device with one touch. The Phone is unlocked and rooted, but nothing beyond that.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
David
I've never seen this before. Usually only happens on bad recovery installs, ROM installation, or other flash. The only thing I can recommend is a flash of the stock image with RSD lite.
Wait for some other replies though.
Thanks, i would definitely have to research how to do that.
I can get to the boot menu, but all options... recovery, fast boot and factory all get stuck at the electric orb/eye animation.

If you can't even get into recovery, then definitely it means it's time to go into fastboot mode and flash a stock image back onto it.
You can get to fastboot mode by rebooting the phone (or powering on) and then immediately press vol down + power and that will get you into fastboot mode where you can use either RSDLite or House of Moto tools to flash a stock image back onto your phone.
That seems to be the only recourse.
OK, downloading RSDlite and installing now. Im in AP fastboot flashmode on my phone. I have the latest device drivers from Motorola installed.
So, this whole finding and flashing new image thing is beyond me, i will search for it, but if anyone has an easy explanation, i would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: Ok, i found the correct image to flash. I'm assuming that it is the complete OS? if that is the case, I'm going with the last version where I had almost double battery life. Am i on the right track?
So basically you are going to download a 700mb stock image. Go to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5 for that download. That will be what you are flashing

Thank you so much Sad Panda!!!
I'm flashing 4.4.2 instead of the last version I was planning on. It's in process now so I'll know soon.
If this works, then I will look for a custom rom without all the bloatware and other garbage. I suppose this failure has made me do something that i have always been too nervous to try.
I know that asking questions without searching is frowned upon, and I get that, but having someone to interact with is very reassuring.
Again, many many thanks to you for your time!!!!
Not a problem. I have a question out there right now waiting to be answered, so it's appropriate for me to give back

Greetings. I found myself in a situation of being stuck at Alcatel splash screen after rebooting following a flash. Phone wouldn't respond to adb/fastboot commands, or upgrade tool. I kept powering off, and rebooting holding combo of power, vol up, down, and both. Finally after several tries, it booted into TWRP! I wish I could say it was a particular combo, but it was just repetition of power off, and combo of power/ vol buttons. Was able to do this twice with this "method". I have 60450 (Cricket). This Phone doesn't respond how I am used to getting into download (power+vol down), or recovery (power+vol up) Hope this helps if you find yourself in a similar situation.
I've developed an issue as well. I can get into twrp just fine and all is fine there but any combination of ROM or kernel even stock makes my phone reboot every 2-5 minutes. Last night after messing around with a few cm builds and then going back to stock after I couldn't get the phone to cool down..... Stock no longer wanted to cool down either. It's been running way to hot so I turned it off for the night. Turn it back on today and same issues. It even restarts on the powered off battery charging screen , I took it a step further and deleted system, data, cache, and internal storage as well as removing my external sd so no ROM or files was on it at all and it still wanted to reboot at the charging screen! Only place it doesn't is in TWRP. I'm not sure if it's a battery safety issue because it's noticing how hot the device is but I was proven wrong with that too, put it in the freezer for 3 mins and it rebooted then too lol. I'm not sure what to do as even download mode reboots. Wtf. Idk if maybe there's some stock files I could attempt to flash through adb? Can anyone help?
have you tried to flash some stock rom? there is a thread around here which has some twrp backups on stock roms. maybe it helps to get into download mode and repair the phone with the Q.

Just did. Damn i thought for sure it was the answer, but nope, the phone has rebooted 3 times since i just restored the backup from that thread 20 mins ago. It feeezes for a sscond and then will reboot. Whats even worse is it soemtimes doesent let me charge the phone when powered down. Instead of showing the charging battery screen it just boots up into Android. Its highly annoying. I can get into download mode, it just won't stay there.
that suxx. did you unlocked the bootloader? maybe you should relock it.... it's just an idea, really don't have any more idea

Thanks. Unfortunately it didn't work. No matter what I do the phone reboots out of DL mode during the process and ruins it. I'm at My wits end with this phone. Have never had this many issues before. I've done everything. I even used the backup from that old thread to restore stock for 6450. All should've been well but I got reboots even on stock at 90% charged. What's very strange is the only thing I can do to keep this from rebooting is use YOUR kernel from the latest Flyme ROM. No idea why but reboots are minimal with it. They still happen but a lot less. All other ROMs and kernels have issues.

I found him a flashable stock that he got to work. Part of, if not all, of his problem is I think he only has access to a sub-par pc or tablet or something. Anyway, I remember when I didn't know how important it is to have patience and not freak out, and quite a few people had the patience for me , and guided me. I learned. Perhaps this is where he is at. I post things that I have run into, and figured out to try and repay the kindness shown to me. He was trying on his own to figure it out, and that is WAY better than people who don't even try to search, and expect others to do everything for them. This is a community, and just like life, people are at different places. As long as someone is trying, I will try to help if I can. You can't send a rooted phone running CM for warranty.
EDIT: Turns out the reason the upgrade app wasn't working is because i didn't have enough space for the update to download on the PC . I didn't realize because the app never stated why it was restarting my phone or disconnecting so I just assumed it was related to why my phone kept restarting on all ROMs. Wow lol I feel so damn stupid for not thinking of this 2 days ago. Its installing now and hopefully this fixes my reboot issues. Thanks to everybody here for helping and answering my 1000 question's on every post. Really appreciate it.

Hey......we all get flustered and forget the basics sometimes. Plus, for me, this phone doesn't respond like all the HTC, Nexus, and Samsung phones I've rooted and modded. That, and the insistence for every carrier/region to have their own variant, even on these cheaper phones. The T-Mobile Note 3 and 4 were even different depending on whether you had the black or white one! Hope this gets you back to normal, and if you don't have an SD card, at least get a cheap 8gb, and keep a stock backup on it. I've had that be a lifesaver more than once. Good luck my friend, and maybe stick to stock rooted? Lol

All is back to normal, no reboots. I do have an SD card and did have a backup the thing is though I accidentally saved another back up over the original with custom kernel so it was useless lol. And oddly the reboots sort of stopped happening right before but I was using the custom kernel from Flyme which is the only one that seemed to be working. I'm hoping that the issue is with root and not a hardware one from the phone getting to hot flashing things.
