i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots
Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.
That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?

The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.

I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.
I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.
Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch.
I used goomanager to install TWRP and it worked just fine.

Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.

Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?
i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.
Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.
Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise.

Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?
That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

The previous response asked a question that may help us determine what the problem is, but you didn't answer it.
I'm wondering the same. You said you tried to install "a few" recoveries. Where did you try to install them from?
In particular, some people are trying to install CWM for the wrong device (Tegra3 quad core) onto our version of the phone (Snapdragon S4 dual core) and messing up their phones.
I was on the onxroot web site and got it from there yeah I just checks I was flashing the qual core version of cwm and twrp I just flash twrp 2.18 or 17 I'm note sure and is working now but I'm not sure because I've see there is a beer version 2.20 I think but I try to flash it and it would not stay I would have to flash it every time I boot up
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Don't flash things from random websites. Stick to the development subforum for our device. Also sounds like you may need to slow down, and do more research, before flashing anything more. People have been warned so many times against flashing things meant for the quad core One X, using CWM on our device, etc.
Not sure how to fix flashing the wrong recovery. Maybe somebody has some a suggestion.
My only idea would be to relock the bootloader and run the RUU. But not sure if that can somehow do more harm than good.
Just flash a proper recovery from hboot, then fastboot boot "nameofrecovery".img
I flash the right one already but it's a old version but when I try to flash the update twrp recovery it won't stick I have not done no harm to my phone it still works ims still using it

You may have actually done harm to the phone, since the partitioning on the Tega3 and Snapdragon versions of the phone is different. You're lucky you can boot at all after flashing the wrong recovery.
I had done a back up with the twrp recovery and once I try to boot up it would not load but like I said I have the correct twrp but all o need to know is can I flash the update one or what is the latest twrp version for my att HTC one x

I can't quite follow what state your phone is in at this point, but if you have a bootable, rooted system try installing GooManager (linked at the site I posted) and run the Install OpenRecovery Script option. Otherwise, download the boot.img and install it through fastboot. Instructions are on the site I linked.

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

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.

So when you go into your bootloader their is no recovery option? What recovery did you try to install? If your on PC you can use this tool, but before you do anything you should maybe read this big huge awesome helpful sticky.

That screen is supposed to appear once you've installed a custom recovery. But then it should go into recovery. If its hanging on that screen, then yes there is a problem.
You haven't provided nearly enough info. What firmware version were you on before you unlocked the bootloader (2.20, 3.18, etc.)? What method did you use to unlock the bootloader? How did you try to install recovery? Post links to what you used, so we can see if they were the right versions.

Yea I want to do it. I know how to use fastboot but this is kinda new to me. All the other android phones didn't require so many steps.
TL;DR - I just want to root my HTC and install recovery/customs roms.
All phones are different. Just because you rooted others before doesnt mean they'll all be the same.
Download twrp 2.3.3.1 and flash it then wipe cache with fastboot then select recovery and flash a Rom.
Before rooting a new phone, you should always read the stickies or at least the faq to find out any quirks or steps that need to be taken to achieve what you want.
I've rooted a Sony Xperia, an evo 3d and this one xl. They were all different.

Also remember with CM10 or other AOSP roms you will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. And before you do that you have to supersu and s-off. To be honest I went through all this over the past two days, and when i got to the stage your at (rooted, unlocked, custom recovery) I went with RageXL (a sense rom) and got my phone to a stable state, crossed my fingers and did the super-su by hand, then s-off. It was much easier and less stressful once I had a stable and working phone again.

Agreed. OP shouldn't be doing anything to the phone they are not completely sure of. Failure to follow this bit of advice can turn your phone a very expensive paperweight.
Also, be aware that with S-on, you need to extract boot.img and flash from fastboot every time you flash a ROM. Failure to do this is a very common cause for being stuck on the boot (HTC logo) screen after flashing a ROM.
I was able to flash a rom through Recovery. I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328822. Think I will stick with it for awhile. Any other ROMS compatible with 2.20?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
all, but if you're s-on you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img whereby boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing.
Yes. I meant to say that I had used fastboot to flash this rom. Satisfied now. Think I this is all I will need for now.
Thanks for the help everyone. Much appreciated.
