Ok guys, im kind of still fresh to the rooting thing.. I came from an inspire 4g and i successfully rooted and installed cwm on it with no problems (i may have gotten lucky lol). I am using the all in one tool kit to root my one x but im having a problem when i get to the flashing the recovery part. When i watched the video, after checking flash recovery his phone automatically booted into recovery. Well, for some reason i cant manage to get mine to boot into recovery in order to flash superuser. Sorry if i short on the details but any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
also, when i try to boot into the bootloader, the touch lights at the bottom of the phone just flash when holding vol down and the power button.
Try again after sometime ! Do a full wipe and try to flash recovery , or go to stock and flash recovery, switch of the phone and try again
ok i got the recovery flashed and everything seems to be working fine now.. but i cant figure how to get adb to run in a command prompt to flash a rom lol

Hey everyone,
Basically I was trying to flash a new ROM onto an old Nexus S of mine and when I tried to boot into recovery there was just a black screen. I pressed the power button and a single line saying "Clockwork mod Recovery" and the version number popped up. I assumed that the recovery must've been corrupted so I erased it and installed the latest version using fastboot which seemed to work fine.
Now whenever I try to boot into recovery I just get a blank screen with nothing else. I've tried using other recovery images such as twrp but the same problem happened, I just get the background wallpaper/image and nothing else.
I searched the forums and apparently people were having this issue earlier on when the i9023 was first released but now most custom recoveries are supposed to work with both i9020 and i9023.
Also the touch buttons light up and vibrate whenever I touch them when I'm in recovery mode.
Any help to this problem would be greatly appreciated as atm I have an old ROM which is buggy as hell and I need to get rid of it.
Cheers!
I had the same Issue. If you can boot into the rom, you can try to download the rommanager-app and install the recovery from there.
Hey I tried that already that and instead of booting into recovery it just went into the bootloader and said "No Recovery or Bootloader found".
Any other ideas?
Did you clicked the first point in rommanager? Install recovery, or you only hit the second button reboot into recovery?

Hey
I have the i9023 and I install rom manager. install CWM and if I reboot into recovery it works and I get in to CWM recovery.. but after reboot into os.. if I go into Rom manager and reboot to recovery it dont work? I just get the android figur and a "!".. then I just can Power + vol up and I'm in bootloader recovery..
Do I have to install CWM every time i want to use it? and can't I access CWM on boot op ?
sorry for my bad English
Normaly you have to flash the recovery only once.
Try to flash the newer clockwork-recovery with fastboot.

Alfiedk: You need to get rid of this file:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
As it re-installs the stock recovery every boot.
I think you can download any custom ROM for your phone, and flash it in CWM recovery, this will also solve the problem
Edit: Did you unlock the phone? Have you tried fastboot oem unlock?

I havent unlock my phone, but I can get in to bootloader is it then necessary to unlock ?
I try to delete the /install-recovery.sh
Yes you need to unlock your bootloader, if you dont want to reflash it all the time.

Yes I made sure I selected install clockwork mod. Like I said the problem isn't the same when I do this, instead of a blank screen, when I boot into recovery it goes straight to fastboot and tells me that I don't have a recovery image installed at all...

what happens when you try to temporary boot into the recovery?
instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", try to "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Just look for an recovery.img that works temporary and then try to flash it permanently.
I'll try it and get back to you Xziped. If anyone else can think of any other ideas please just throw'em at me, I'm willing to try anything!
Yeah no help there either. It does the exact same thing temporarily booting into a recovery that it did when I actually had it installed on the phone :\.
I updated ROM manager to the latest and tried installing CWM with that but to no avail. It still says that there is no recovery installed when I do that.

Sorry but if not even the temporary recovery boots up, i dont know what else we can do
did you try some of the older recoverys? is your bootloader unlocked?
I haven't tried an older recovery and my bootloader is unlocked.
could it be a problem with my computer as opposed to the phone itself? As in my computer is messing up when trying to flash the recovery?
I've also noticed now that when I boot into fastboot mode the menu just locks up and doesn't respond to anything. Sometimes I have to pull the battery and other times it'll start responding after randomly pressing the power key a lot of times...
I'll try an older recovery next

Use Odin, that might solve your problems. Search for the Nexus S version of Odin in the Dev section here.

First off I am sorry for posting this, however I DID use the search tool. I recently got a USA spec Wifi only Xoom. It came with 4.1.1 preinstalled. I have sucessfully unlocked the bootloader.
My problem is this. I cannot gain root or even get CWM installed. I have tried oneclick, i have tried cmd prompt. I have followed every guide I can find to a "T". Is there something missing, is it an issue with Jellybean being preinstalled?
Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468298 to get CWM installed (and when you reboot from fastboot flashing the recovery image, and this is very important, DO NOT LET IT FULLY REBOOT INTO THE OS. You have to get into recovery in the next boot or the OS will just overwrite it with the stock recovery and you will just have to go back into fastboot and flash the recovery again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30464067&postcount=408 has the root once you get CWM installed.

Thanks for the reply, however this is one of the utilities I have tried,..
Here is a bit more info.
I am running windows 7 64bit if it makes a difference. Whenever I get the device into fastboot and try to flash anything, it just hangs at the original fastboot screen. I have let it sit there from 3 hours and eventually I have to reboot it. The Lord AIO Tool you linked just gives me and error message that the device is not a 2.2/2.3 device. If I were at home I would take a screenshot.
Could my bootloader be corrupt? The device still boots up and runs jellybean fine, but I am not loving the stock experience thus far...
Thanks again for the links!
Actually sounds like your drivers aren't right. I will look them up and link them when I get home
Try installing the driver from http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/, rebooting your pc, and try fastboot again. If that still doesn't work, then there may be something wrong with your pc setup OR your Xoom, not sure at that point.

I thought it would be cool to see what the fuss is about rooting and loading a custom ROM but I just dont see the point after playing around the last few days.
I followed the rooting instructions online for the HTC One S ville and then made it to the loading Clockwork Recovery onto the phone and performing an Nandroid backup like it suggested. Well thats where I ran into the issue of not being able to boot into anything else afterwards it would just keep booting to Clockwork Recovery screen. I figured out that I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds and then it will boot properly to stock android ROM. So once I figured that out I began using the tutorial to load the Viper ROM. Once I loaded the viper rom I ran into an issue at step #11
After you configured it, reboot to your bootloader in fastboot mode

I stopped there because I was still stuck at the issue of being booted to the Clockword Recovery screen and unable to get to the bootloader screen. Even now if I shutdown my phone it just restarts to the Clockwork Recovery screen and I have to do the 10 second power button trick to get around it. (remember I did not complete steps 11-20 from post #5 here on the instructions)

Did you wide data/cache before you flashed your custom rom?
There are several ways to get back to your stock rom... If you made a backup of your stock rom via cwm just restore it.. if you didnt make a backup just find the correct ruu for your device and flash it that way, if you dont have super cid you will need to find the correct ruu or it will not flash. If you need any more infomation please let me know and i will do my best to help you out step by step.

Keep trying to get into the bootloader with holding the power for 10 seconds then as soon you see stop flashing hold the Vol- and power then use the all-in-one kit to install TWRP recovery then you wont have this problem any more and you will still need to fastboot boot.img for the rom to work.

No i did not clear the cache or the dalvik cache....im not sure if i wiped data to be honest since it was a few months back. I still have not wiped either caches as of now either.
I'm going to try to download twrp or whatever from the android market right now
Hey guys, I installed CWM on my buddies HTC one S (ville) and I keep getting a weird problem with CWM. I have successfully flashed CM10 multiple times and have made only one back up. Every time his phone dies and he plugs it in and tries to power it on it boots straight to recovery and after you press reboot phone it boots right back to recovery again and again... The only way it fixes itself is when you restore the back up and then it sets him back to that date. I'm wondering if this is a problem with CWM or something else... I'm new to HTC devices because I have always been on the Galaxy line from Samsung so some of this is a little new to me...
Thanks in advance!!
This is a known glitch with CWM. If you plug it in when its off and try to turn it on, it'll automatically Boot into CWM Recovery. I prefer TWRP personally, had too many problems with CWM and getting into the same exact pain-in-the-neck Bootloop as you're referring to.
As far as I am aware, there isn't a way to get out of the CWM Bootloop unless you just let the phone run out of Battery, get into the Bootloader (Which is somewhat of a challenge with the CWM Bootloop), and then flash a different Recovery from Fastboot. Correct me if i'm wrong on there not being any other way around this.
It's happened to me once, I flashed the.stock boot.img and it worked fine.after that. Not sure if its a fix but it got me outta of it.

Thanks guys I think I'll try TWRP but just to check does CM10 work with TWRP and if so how do I flash a new recovery?
yes cm10 worx with twrp. For flashing recovery, download d appropriate recovery.img for ur device. place this in the fastboot folder or the platform-tools folder.
now, boot into bootloader and enter fastboot then connect phone to PC , it should say fastboot USB .
Now open a command window and use this command---
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img.

Cyanogenmod 10 does indeed work with TWRP as far as I know. Along with mihirengg19's Reply above, there is also an Alternative way to flashing a new Recovery, and that is to use the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit. Its the easiest/safest way, if you don't know what you're doing.
yes toolkit is great but manually is best...

Well, after trying to install a ROM through TWRP the phone rebooted and froze on the HTC screen. I then go back into bootloader and try to get into recovery but the splash screen pops up and then the phone reboots. I can get into CWM however when trying to sideload any .zips there I get an error. Not really sure what to do at this point. I probably should have stopped playing with it when I fixed it the first time, ha.
Edit: I fixed my problems! Very happy, ended up restoring some of the firmware from the OTA's and TWRP started working again. Just flashed ROM and fully functionally.

My provider is AT&T. I used the UK OTA from this link http://db.tt/LrIEemZ4 . Its part of this thread in general http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422885. Basically what was happening is that I had flashed a ROM which didn't work out and so it would just hang on the white HTC screen. I figured no big deal I'll just go into recovery and flash another one I know works. That didn't work out. Any time I tried to go into recovery the TWRP splash screen would pop up for a second then the phone would reboot. Which kind of had me puzzled because I flashed ClockWorkMod for recovery and it would at least get me into recovery but still adb sideload was giving me errors so I flashed TWRP again even though it wasn't working either.. I pulled the boot.img out of the Firmware.zip in the OTA and flashed that with fastboot. At that point I had tried just about everything and was about to give up but to my surprise that seemed to fix it. I was able to go into recovery no problem. Sideloaded the ROM and everything went great. I'll probably not be messing with my phone like that for a bit haha. It was the second night in a row that I had wiped an OS off the phone and struggled to figure out how to get it working. Glad its all good now though. Good luck to you!
cant change recovery / device rebooting
Hi, i have a similar problem,
I've unlocked with htcdev everything is fine.
Then I installed Twrp-2.6.0.0.img as recovary.
I'm not able to mount the internal storage, so I had to push the ROMs via ADB.
starting a ROM 1st time seems to be ok.
restart is also ok.
shutdown and power on is rebooting every ~15sec.
I tried to change my bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7ul.img -> volume keys are responding
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7ul.img -> volume keys are NOT responding
recovery isn't starting until i run following commands:
fastboot flash recovery Twrp-2.6.0.0.img -> volume keys are responding
fastboot boot Twrp-2.6.0.0.img -> volume keys are NOT responding
but after resetting the device + entering recovery it's there
thanks for your ideas/help
