[Q] Bootlooping and cannot open recovery

hi all,
Firstly apologies if this is covered somewhere but for the life of me I cannot get to the bottom of this. I have spent 2 weeks on and off trying to get a solution but my Sensation is still boot looping.
The problem occurred when I turned on the camera but was faced with a blank screen. I could return to home screen but the camera would not work each time I launched. So I rebooted the device but then I was stuck in this boot loop.
Device info
HTC Sensation S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.21.3504.13_2
I was running Insert Coin 2.3.5 ROM for some time without issue
I was hoping I could just do a superwipe and flash a new ROM
FAIL - each time I boot into CWM and select Recovery, it just goes back to bootloop.
I selected Factory Rest from CWM menu
FAIL - it just goes into bootloop
Also cannot use ADB as the device will not connect to the PC. Im using a card reader to put files on the SD card but have not being successful resolving the issue.
Tried an SD card from a stock Sensation, no difference. Booting with no SIM, not working.
Most Bootloop fix's seem to involve super wipes / flashing new ROMs but because my Recovery goes into the bootloop I dont have this option. I wish it was so easy.
Can anybody offer an other ideas.
Thanks for you patience, I am not much of a modder or Android expert. I had just flashed a ROM many months ago to help improve battery life and I was happy with that.

Have you tried re-installing your recovery throught the bootloader?

try different recovery (4EXT) or reinstall recovery again

thanks guys.
I found these flashable recovery files. Both CWM and 4EXT. I have tried both zips and ran the update in HBOOT but am still booting in CWM and if I select RECOVERY is goes too bootloop again.

I think I might just give up and drop the phone into a phone repair shop and let them try it.

Did both flashes work? What do you mean you're "booting in CWM"? Can you boot into your system and are you using CWM app to boot into recovery, or are you manually booting into your bootloader and selecting recovery?

Try this pg58img (it helped me)http://www.wuala.com/LuckyThirteen/Elegancia/Official RUU Sensation/ it will update your sensation to ICS, (you will maintain s-off)

Thanks for that. It flashed fine and I was very hopeful it would work but unfortunately it is still in the boot loop. I feel like crying. Im stuck with an old iphone and I miss my HTC so much.

Yes both flashes worked.
What I mean is, I am manually booting with volume down and power button. In the boot menu I select recovery and it enters boot loop.

Can you please re-flash the stock ics (PG58IMG), look like you have some firmware issues (sometimes you have to flash several time in order to rectify previous mistakes...) Hope it helps, otherwise (in my humble opinion) you have some hardware problem

If you can boot normally into ICS and you are rooted, then get the 4Ext app or the ROM Manager app and flash the recovery through one of those.

so I gave this a go over the weekend and flashed maybe up to 10 times the ICS IMG.
Unfortunately it hasnt worked and Im left with my device looping.
so its off to the phone shop today and hopefully it can be fixed. Pity I rooted it and flashed the ROM as it should still be under warranty but I have voided that now

Flashing the ICS PG58IMG.zip doesn't replace the recovery.
Fix recovery first. Use stock recovery. When you get that working, change to "simple" cwm recovery.

thanks for the advise. It makes perfect sense as it appears it is my stock recovery that is broken.
however, I have searched around and cannot find a stock recovery image that I can flash as PG58IMG.zip.
Any help would be much appreciated.

before flashing stock recovery...can you try this first
get this recovery image
and flash the recovery via fastboot
steps:
1.go to fastboot in your device and connect it to your pc (after this device should read fastboot usb)
2.get the adb/fastboot setup ready guide here
3.go to your adb folder and place the downloaded recovery.img there
4.type fastboot devices (it should show your device serial number)
5.now to flash type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should do...if it didnt work then let me know ASAP...then we'll think of other solutions

Phone Stuck (please help)

Hey guys can someone please help me. I was in the middle of trying to flash clean rom, I rebooted the phone and now Im stuck at the Htc screen. I need urgent help. This comes at the time I was giving the phone to my wife. I can get back to the HBOOT screen but Im lost from their. I have tried just going back to recovery but nothing seems to work.

Maybe try reflashing a recovery through the use of ADB. Or you could try to RUU back to stock. But that will put you back to square 1 as far as rooting and BL unlocking

Aaah a Mac. Just press the big green Easy button. If that does not work wait for Steve Jobs to speak from the grave to the folks at Apple what the customers are allowed to do.
On a more serious note if you are unlocked and can get to hboot re flash twrp then boot in recovery and reflash cleanrom

Download TWRP. Download virtubox for Mac. Download a Windows ISO. Setup the Windows virtual machine using virtubox and the ISO. Download the android SDK, SDK tools and JDK in Windows and set your PATH in environmental variables. Run ADB and fastboot flash recovery. This is the jist of it. Sorry I'm on my phone and to lazy to Google virtubox (I think that's what it's called) Hope this helps!

I had this issue last night. Turned out the download of the ROM was bad, check the MD5 of the download.
I just got a new download, went into recovery and mounted my SD card, copied the complete and good version of the ROM, and reflashed. I also only flashed the ROM, let the phone reboot before applying any CleanMODS (if you are using those).
Good luck

Thanks for the help, your method would help but I cant seem to get into recovery. I can only get back to the hboot screen.

you can actually run adb and fastboot on a mac from terminal. it's actually not hard at all and can be easier to access than on windows sometimes. google "adb on mac", tons of tutorials, worked for me. so just download twrp and try to reflash that using fastboot if youre BL is unlocked. If it doesn't work then you'll have to ruu which can only be done on windows.

I thought so too...here was what I did (hopefully you already got past this)
Hold down the power button, the soft keys will flash a bunch and then the screen will go back. Hold the volume down button, should go to the bootloader screen. You can select the recovery from this option and mine booted into TWRP at that point. I was able to mount the SD card, replace the ROM file, and then reflash.
Hope that works, otherwise the other options should as well.

I believe I bricked my phone.. NEED HELP !

So i guess I felt out of date and wanted to root my phone and use that cm10 rom or whatever everyone else is and i messed it up real bad. I keep getting this msg "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc.." on the loading screen. At this point i just want to restore it back to normal , idc if i lose data , i just want my phone to WORK! I've flashed a clean recovery.img but whenever i try to access recovery , it brings me back to that screen with the red words. In addition , my phone is rogers so i can't even find a correct RUU to install. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my phone to work again ? Any help is greatly welcomed !
P.S Wow i think it got worse , now it doesnt even loop again , it goes start into that menu bootloader, reboot , power down.. Omg i spent 5 hours looking into this. I NEED HELP!

..... It says that on every One X, it's HTC telling whoever turns the phone on that you used HTCDev.com
Make Sure you have TWRP (recovery) flashed/installed ... then in the bootloader go into recovery and flash cm10 ... and since you probably have the newer hboot 1.14 that means that you HAVE to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Which is simple,
flash cm10
then reboot into the bootloader > fastboot
extract the boot.img from the cm10.zip
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
then your done reboot and enjoy.... (anything else read threw the forum, all your answers have been asked by somebody else already)

On rogers he won't have the 1.14 hboot, which means all he has to do is install the rom.
Try flashing the recovery again (TWRP ONLY!)
And then reinstall CM10

That might be your problem. CWM isn't supported for this phone and has been known to corrupt data.
Links for all the files you need are in a sticky in the Development forum. Here's the link for TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Once you've got that, you can wipe your phone inside TWRP (don't do it in bootloader--you'll have to reformat your sd card), and reflash CM10.

That link requires me to use that GOO manager? Confused lol i have TWRP on my computer but not sure the steps to use it ..

You can't use Goomanager if the phone doesn't boot. You need to push it over to your phone using adb, then you can flash it from recovery.

So first i need to get adb working , then install TWRP to wipe my phone? To access that i flash TWRP and go into recovery right ?
EDIT: So .. i've downloaded that adb , and i got a bunch of files.. what do i do with this? I put them into my fastboot folder in my C drive.. Also i need to unlock my phone to do this right ? Cause i accidently relocked it .
EDIT: OKAY i rooted my phone , and got into TWRP , tried a factory rest under the wipe menu. http://i48.tinypic.com/13yklep.jpg It says fails.. what do i do ?

Go to mount usb storage (not sure which screen its on) while it's plugged into your computer
If windows says the card is corrupted, format it fat32, then copy over a rom onto your sd card

Read this thread and the cm10 op...you didn't install correctly and have ignored several relevant questions trying to help...

You have to extract the boot image from the ROM .zip file. Then you have to flash it with either fast boot ( on computer) or flash image GUI( On your phone In Android itself).
That is why your phone will not boot because the boot image has not been flashed correctly or at all.
You don't need to pull the battery obviously you can't. What you do is just hold down volume down and power and keep holding it until you see the bottom lights flashing keep keep holding it eventually your phone will turn off.

I extracted the boot image from the ROM and flashed it. For good measure I also rewiped, and flashed CM10 and gapps again. Everything is working great now - this phone is really a beast without sense.
Thanks again!

Fail to flash ROM, now bootloop

I have HTC One X. unlocked bootloader, rooted. Stock version 2.20. Tried to flash CM10 nightly build 01042013 through TWRP. First copied the roms into internal storage. Then used fastboot flash boot boot.img, then entered TWRP to wipe everything, factory reset, then try to flash rom, says error and failed. Tried several times, didn't work. I tried to reboot, the phone enters endless bootloop. Tried to use power+vol to enter fastboot again. Select recovery, phone bootloop, never enters recovery. Then I tried to flash CWM touch to phone. Still cannot enter recovery.
What's worse is that when the phone is on, it cannot charge. When usb is not connected, I can turn the phone off by keep holding power. But once the usb is connected the phone will turn on by itself, and the charging stops -- this way the remaining battery is kept being drained.
Please help! Thanks!!!

Try installing TWRP again via adb.
There is no CWM Touch for our version of the One X (only the non-touch version of CWM, and its not recommended). So you may have flashed a recovery for the wrong device. It doesn't sound like that was the initial cause of your woes, but it may have made the issue worse.
You can also try to relock the bootloader, RUU and start over again (re-unlock, install TWRP and flash).
You sure you downloaded CM10 for our (Snapdragon S4) version, and not the Tegra3 version of the One X? There is no reason that flashing a ROM would mess with recovery, unless you flashed the wrong version.

I guess my battery is well below 30% now. I saw people said if I relock it with such low battery, I may end up not able to do anything after. Will that happen? I'll try to flash TWRP first. Thanks
Also, I cannot do adb at this time since I cannot enter system and if I use adb command in cmd on my PC, it says cannot find device.

Well if it says AT&T on the top of the phone it's most definitely a dual-core version, instead of the quad-core. But you downloaded a CM-endeavoru ROM which is the international. We here have the device codenamed "evita". It sounds to me that you've bricked your phone, unfortunately. However if it's still booting to the white HTC Screen there might be some hope.

I can still enter fastboot and can flash things into it using cmd from PC usb connection. It's just nothing worked: not able to boot pass htc white screen, keeps rebooting, turns on when usb connected, not able to charge, cannot enter recovery. Tried to re-flash TWRP, didn't work, still cannot enter recovery.

If you can get to fastboot, you're not bricked. Be sure you're pushing the right (Evita) version of TWRP; so far you've loaded your phone up with endeavour stuff.
Does adb devices show your phone? What are you seeing in Device Manager when it's plugged in? Are you sure you have all the HTC drivers installed? You might try switching USB ports and using a different cable.

As stated, go ahead and format. It's quite common when having these problems to corrupt your sdcard, esp. when using CWM on this phone.

Thanks for the tips! Now I formatted it into fat32, reboot into recovery, and I'm able to successfully install the CM10 evita ROM. However, after the reboot, the phone keeps the bootloop. The battery is 50% +. Is there something else I did wrong? Thanks!

Did you remember to flash the boot.img separately?

Yes, I did that. But CM10 didn't work whatever I tried. Then I flashed boot.img of CleanROM and installed CleanROM. Finally it works! Thanks a lot for all the help!

HTC One X = International

What??? Incorrect, and how can an AT&T user be saying this? The dual core S4 version is called the One X in US (AT&T) and Canada (Rogers), and called the One XL elsewhere.
Outside Canada and US, its true that One X refers to the quad core Tegra3 version. But the term "international" is a bit obsolete at this point, now that the S4 version has been released in some 6 or 7 countries.
The OP said he was on stock 2.20 firmware, which is AT&T. So I knew he had the AT&T version from the start.
To the OP, stick with ROMs and mods from this forum section to avoid the same mistake in the future: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538

I know in the past, at least one nightly build of CM10 had a faulty kernel that caused the phone to be stuck on the boot splash. Flashing an older kernel made the ROM boot right up. Maybe that is the case with the one you tried. Or maybe just a bad download.

I have HTC One X. unlocked bootloader, rooted. Stock version 2.20. Tried to flash CM10 nightly build 01042013 through TWRP. First copied the roms into internal storage. Then used fastboot flash boot boot.img, then entered TWRP to wipe everything, factory reset, then try to flash rom, says error and failed. Tried several times, didn't work. I tried to reboot, the phone enters endless bootloop. Tried to use power+vol to enter fastboot again. Select recovery, phone bootloop, never enters recovery. Then I tried to flash CWM touch to phone. Still cannot enter recovery.
What's worse is that when the phone is on, it cannot charge. When usb is not connected, I can turn the phone off by keep holding power. But once the usb is connected the phone will turn on by itself, and the charging stops -- this way the remaining battery is kept being drained.
Please help! Thanks!!!

I had the same issue today, was trying to flash jellybam. I fastboot flash boot boot.img then entered TWRP and wiped then flashed the ROM and when I tried booting up I was in a boot loop. What I did is entered boot loader mode and factory reset ( which wiped my internal storage) and then I was able to enter recovery.

Glad to hear you got it working. Too many damn bricks around these parts for my taste.
