Cannot reboot into recovery (4ext) - HTC Sensation

I never had and issue rebooting into recovery from the power menu or from within 4ext I have not tried.it from boot loaded but the other 2 ways do not work....what I did last was flash Anthrax rls5 its possible I flashed bad kernel...but my phone info.says instill am on bricked kernel so I dunno that the last thing I did before I noticed the issue....
I made sure 4ext is updated and Su binaries are up to date I'm on the lasted ordroid anyone have this issue before?
I tried to boot into recovery from bootloader that's a no go as well it just shows the black sensation screen then it skips past recovery back to the sensation screen then it loads back into the the Rom like its suppose to....

So try from the bootloader, because that is how I enter recovery 90% of the time. Also, your question is very unclear. We would at least need some details about the phone to help you out.

This is weird because your recovery cannot just stop working.. :/
Also, I have no idea what could have caused this, but you need to figure out what happened.. Did you make any recent changes?

The only only thing remember doing is deleting a script I was using to keep both cores running out of the init.d folder and I booted into recovery after that flashed Anthrax kernel I think it was rls5 from the infectedrom site
When i realized it didn't flash over my bricked kernel I attempted to go back into recovery that when I discovered the issue however the reflashing of 4ext seemed to fix this issue I been flashing and tweaking for sometime never had that problem

Flash a new rom or reinstall the current one from recovery. That'll fix it.

Worse case you may have to do a full wipe
(hope you did a full backup first!)
I had this happen a few weeks ago - wiping cache did finally fix it for me. Try it more than once just to be safe.
I have justed flashed arhd 6.0 ics. stuck on beats logo after reboot eny help would be great guys cheers
my backup wont even work!! i had a MIUI backup, and when i restored it, it restarts at boot logo! but before that i tried to update my firmware to 3.24 and got a CID INCORRECT error, is there anyway for me to resotore?

According to Koushik Dutta's twitter there are some issues with the sensation touch recovery
https://twitter.com/#!/clockworkmod/status/164780853703098369
not working yet
As of this morning about 6am EST, I flashed the new recovery and according to a recent tweet by koush there is a problem with the recovery. My experience after flashing both using fastboot and through clockwork rom manager, was that booting to recovery failed and my phone just rebooted into android. Just for the record, my phone is a tmo 4g w/ICS firmware 3.24 unlocked (revolutionary)/Hboot 1.17 running tripnraver beta001 cm9 unofficial with his crisp001 kernel.
edit...beat me to it...
i didn't try yet. is there any other info?
The problem is that the latest firmeware we pretty all use have no fastboot command
But happy to see it's in dev !
i was gonna flash it thru pg58img method cause adb is being gay but since its having issues ill wait for a stable release
Thanks for the update but ill stick with 4EXT...its the best!
Sent with my Elegancia powered ICS rom built with perfection!
No issues using the 4EXT touch recovery RC3 with the new firmware. If you need to have the touch recovery I recommend checking that out (I personally want to save my volume and power buttons).

Can I install a boot.img within phone?

Hi everyone, I have S-on still, I am wondering if I can pull the boot.img from a kernel of a rom and move somewhere to my sdcard if I wanted to flash a rom that doesnt have this built in to it...the reason I am asking is because alot of downtime at work and sometimes I want to tinker with other roms, but since I have hboot 1.27 most of the roms need the boot.img pushed, and I cant install software to do this on my work computer....If it can be done on the phone by using ES file explorer or something similar, can someone guid me on where to put the boot.img...i believe on the root of sd?....just curious here....thanks much...Larry

if you use 4ext recovery with s-on smart flash enabled it will flash the bootimg after it installs the rom i believe, so no need to manually flash the boot img. is this what you mean?

Yes.. Wait for 10 minutes max.. If it's not booting then.. You need to flash boot.img of the rom seperately from fastboot but that process requires pc access.. Or try this.. If not booted.. Go to recovery again.. Then enable smartflash again and immediately flash the rom.. Without doing any wipe.. This might work

are you 100% sure smart flash is enabled? when you flash some roms like arhd it flashes a new 4ext as well i think.
if you do then im not 100% sure on how to proceed. have you thought about just going full s-off? once you have it you dont need to flash the bootimg afterwards

This is normal for Smart Flash, the device will boot to the splash screen then flash the boot.I mg then reboot again but all the way nto the ROM on the second reboot. Also I know you can flash splashscreens and recoveries via Terminal Emulator but I am not sure about the boot.img. From what I am do know about Android I am thinking you probably can not but it is worth a Google search.
Ok, so I downloaded the Elegancia Pegasus, I went into 4ext recovery, did a super wipe, turned on smart flash, installed the rom zip, did not reboot but enabled smart flash again, and then installed the rom again..(reason for this was I was thinking maybe it installed a new 4ext)..I really dont think it did though, but still stuck at the white htc screen...I may have to just do this from a computer...weird thing is that Elegancia sense 4.x 3.1.0 flashes just fine, but i imagine thats because that Boot.img is not getting written over by the pegasus one..any other ideas?...the ext recovery I am using is the stable most current release btw..thanks everyone...Dirtylarry

indeed, but he can do that at home with His pc then he will be able to flash any rom he likes without the need of smartflash. thus solving his problem and allowing him to flash roms at work when he has some spare time allowing he already has the roms with him, or he can still download

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

[Q] Can't get into recovery

Hey guys. For some odd reason I'm having issues with my AT&T HOX. I was running the Sense 5 rom and everything was running great. I was going to flash a battery % mod so, I held the power button down to get to the reboot menu to go into recovery. Well I accidently tapped the power off button instead of reboot. Crap! No problem, I thought. When I powered the phone back up again, the phone just sat on the HTC Quiet Brilliantly screen and wouldn't go any further. So, I held down the power button to force it to shut down, held the volume down key to go to the bootloader and then into TWRP. I couldn't get into TWRP. The phone would get to the TWRP splash screen and then reboot. But then it wouldn't even go back into android. It would just stay at the HTC screen. The only way I could get it into android was to RUU the phone. I flashed TWRP 2.3.3.0 on it via adb but now I still can't get into TWRP. The phone goes into a boot loop on the TWRP splash screen. I tried to do a fastboot wipe cache but that didn't help at all. Any suggestions?
You flashed recovery with adb..? You need to flash it with fastboot. Always check the md5 of your files to make sure they're good
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Haha, sorry, I meant fastboot. I flashed it with fastboot. When it didn't work the first time. I re-downloaded twrp and flashed it again. Same results.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Did you run the RUU? Which one? Running a RUU will restore stock recovery.
Also, the command is fastboot erase cache. Is that what you did?
Yes, I ran the AT&T 3.18 ruu. Don't worry I have s-off. The phone booted up fine after I ran the AT&T ruu. I then wanted to flash TWRP so I could install a different rom. I went to the bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.3.3.0. I flashed it with the OneX toolkit. I also did a fastboot erase cache when it didn't want to boot into TWRP. When I try to get into TWRP, it gets to the splash screen of TWRP, then the screen flashes for a second and it won't go any further. It keeps doing that until I force the phone to shut down. I am using the phone now but on 3.18 and I can't root it. I am stock. EWW!

I'm not a big fan of toolkits. They let you skip over learning things you really need to know.
Try downloading the twrp image, check the md5 to be sure it downloaded correctly, and flash in fastboot manually.
It's possible something isn't working right with the toolkit.

Just a few minutes ago, I re-downloaded TWRP again and flashed it with fastboot flash recovery. It said it was successful but, it is still doing the same thing. TWRP acts like it wants to boot but it won't. It gets to the splash screen and then it will just blink on and off, on and off until I force the phone to shut off.
Dang I've never seen anyone have that problem so far... That's weird.. You're doing everything correct and you sound knowledgeable.... Have you tried different twrp versions? Maybe try goo manager...
And I'm not questioning your intelligence and mean no disrespect, but are you 100% its the Evita version of twrp?

Thanks man, haha, yeah I am 1000% sure it is an evita recovery. I thought about trying CWM just to see if the situation changes. Before I do that, I may try goo manager.
Yay!! I was able to flash CWM, get into it and flash SuperSU. I don't really care for CWM but at least i got SOMETHING to work. I may try TWRP again just to see if it will work.

Now that recovery is working again, you should be able to switch using goo manager.

I tried re-downloading from a different source and flashing TWRP 2.3.3.1 again....Fail. It does the same thing. Flashed CWM again, works like a charm. What the heck is going on??

I will try fastboot erase cache. No, I flashed it with fastboot flash recovery.
Edit: Still a no go with TWRP :/ I guess I'm sticking with CWM for now.

Hey guys. For some odd reason I'm having issues with my AT&T HOX. I was running the Sense 5 rom and everything was running great. I was going to flash a battery % mod so, I held the power button down to get to the reboot menu to go into recovery. Well I accidently tapped the power off button instead of reboot. Crap! No problem, I thought. When I powered the phone back up again, the phone just sat on the HTC Quiet Brilliantly screen and wouldn't go any further. So, I held down the power button to force it to shut down, held the volume down key to go to the bootloader and then into TWRP. I couldn't get into TWRP. The phone would get to the TWRP splash screen and then reboot. But then it wouldn't even go back into android. It would just stay at the HTC screen. The only way I could get it into android was to RUU the phone. I flashed TWRP 2.3.3.0 on it via adb but now I still can't get into TWRP. The phone goes into a boot loop on the TWRP splash screen. I tried to do a fastboot wipe cache but that didn't help at all. Any suggestions?

I would try Goo Manager, then give up if it doesn't work. CWM is okay for this phone now.
