[Q] Reboot hanging - HTC Sensation

I tried to flash the MIUI rom and it is looping on reboot. I can get to recovery, but it only lets me update the RADIO and then only a reboot option. The reboot goes to the loop again. Am I dead or is there a way around?

first off, that's not a recovery. that's the bootloader.
You need to remove the passsomethingsomething8something file from your SD card, then try going back to the bootlader. it will then let you choose other options instead of a reboot.

Got it working. Thanks.

Rooting and recovery

I have a problem when I reboot into recovery. The recovery that I am using on my HTC One S is TWRP. When I go into the bootloader and go to recovery, it will boot up to the HTC screen with red text on it. Then the phone will restart and boot normally. Then I would have to go to bootloader again and go into recovery and then it goes into TWRP. I don't know why I have to do this twice. I am not sure what I have done wrong and I can't find a way to fix this. Also I've been trying to flash CM10 and on the first boot, it stays on the animation for a long time. And one last thing. Root checker says I am rooted but when I use Apex Launcher and use a stock HTC widget, it says that it doesn't have root permissions. So can anyone help me with this? This is also my first time on XDA. Another problem. When I restore from a backup, it boots up fine. But then it stays on the lockscreen for couple of seconds and it restarts again. And when I rooted my phone by flashing SuperUser, It didn't say upgrading android. Was it suppose to?
Bump. I too have this problem with booting twice to get into recovery and can't find any answers. Thanks.
I have the exact same issue. I experienced it with both CWM and TWRP. Also when I reboot from recovery, the device seems to reboot twice, and it gets back to normal with a dialog asking if I want to send an error report to HTC. I was beginning to wonder what I have done wrong.

I would suggest downloading the newest twrp recovery IMG and flashing it with fastboot.. As far as flashing cm 10 make sure you flash the boot.IMG through fastboot before you flash the ROM..and wipe both caches after installation.. If you get stuck at boot animation go back to recovery and wipe both caches again...are you guys all using the all in one tool... Or flashimggui..?

Won't boot into and from recovery.

When I select to reboot to recovery the phone attempts to reboot and never shows the google screen. I have to enter the bootloader and enter recovery from there. After i install what I need to install and click "reboot to system" in the recovery, the phone does the same thing. It just goes to a black screen. I have to re-enter the bootloader again and select "Start" to boot into the ROM.
What could be the issue here? Do I need to reflash the bootloader?
What rom are you on. Stock doesn't give you an option to boot into recovery. I'd try and re-flash the rom

PSX. This started to happen after I flashed CWM so I switched back to TWRP but it seems like clockwork might of screwed something up. Might have to flash the factory img.

I would try flashing the recovery image in fastboot. That should fix up the recovery issue. Cwm seems to have some issues right now.

I would try flashing the entire factory image then. But i think you have something else going on if you need to have it plugged in to start it up

Phone bootlooping back to twrp????

Do not use TWRP manager to install recovery. Use Flashify.
TWRP manager flashes to the wrong block. It flashes to mmcblk0p43 where as you need to have it on mmcblk0p44.
What version of firmware are you on. You will need to update your boot image.
To get out on the bootloop I had to install a Rom which was viper Rom 2.4. When I boot my phone, it still shows the twrp splash screen with the red text at the bottom. Doesn't even show boot animation. Seems like it freezes then home screen pops up like nothing's wrong. Any way I can get my HTC splash and aninmation back. Tried flashing a new boot animation but won't take. Is it still trying to boot to twrp.

Like other person said. You flashed your recovery to your system. You need to go to boot loader an fastboot recovery so it goes where it is supposed to. Then enter recovery via bootloader so you r really in recovery then flash your ROM an it will take care of your issue. Always fastboot recovery to avoid these problems.
I did the same thing through TWRP manager, and reflashed recovery through fastboot, restored, works fine. Thanks for the fix

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.

Well, I got the 64GB version, and last time I checked, I had 4GB free.
Can I pull whole titanium backup folder?

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
Same Issue here..

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:

you flashed stock with toolkit? first off leave toolkit alone.... Did you flash the .img files? or you flashed a zip file to get back to stock?
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
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...

[Q] Issues with recovery flashing post Lollipop update.

I have been having this issue with flashing recovery on my Nex5 ever since I installed lollipop(factory image).
I have repeatedly tried to install TWRP (2.8.2.0) on my device but it just doesn't seem to stick no matter what I try.
Each time it gets installed but as soon the the system reboots, its gone. If I directly boot into the recovery from fastboot or bootup recoveryafter flash without restarting the bootloader, the TWRP logo shows up and then the device just restarts.
Please help me out here. Really want to go back to PA4
Thanks
You probably updated to LRX21O through OTA.
Go back to 4.4.4 through factory image. Boot system once. Reboot to bootloader. Flash twrp. Using vol keys, boot to recovery directly from bootloader. Flash PA.
