What happened:
I was trying to flash jaggy's ROM over CM9.1...
Flashing failed... Fastboot and bootloader are accessible. Rebooting to recovery brings me back to fastboot
What i tried:
I tried flashing every single recovery through fastboot cmd.. But to no avail
then i tried to flash stock ruu(Indian as i'm from there) using steps given in the forum.. I successfully flashed system.img but flashing boot_signed.img and recovery_signed.img fails
all flashes give same error
sending recovery...
OKAY
writing recovery
FAILED<remote:image update error>
I've latest HTC sync installed and on windows 7 PC
I've also tried on different PCs(3) and used different USB cables(2)
Plz try to help
Goto HTC service center as soon as possible. It seems that your system or NAND partition is having problems in read-write operation or is corrupted.
If possible, try restoring Nandroid backup of any rom you have. (Oops, you may not be able to do that if you can't get in recovery)
It seems that your phone has lost recovery, also.

will HTC solve it? really?
They will charge a lot.
But going to service center would be safe.
Anyone can suggest something else ? Cuz i can't find any way that would help him out. All he can do is try flashing recovery. Then only he can proceed.

Okay, i was browsing some forums and i think the following may serve as a solution.
Since you cannot get into recovery, and you are stuck in fastboot. This problem is known as Soft-Brick. (Actually you can get into recovery)
Press hold power key for more than 15secs. Keep holding till the boot animation comes. Or, you can take out the battery after 30secs and re-insert it after some time.
Try again to get into recovery.
Let me know, if this helped.

After 1 seconds of pressing power button, i get 7 vibrations and then HTC logo and then in Fastboot. After that nothing happens.no matter how long i press power button. Same thing happpens when i simply press power button..
By the way, when i go to hboot, i see these lines in a flash:
SD Checking:
Loading Something.zip
No Image!
Loading Something.zip
No Image!
Loading Something.zip
No Image!
Loading Something.zip
No Image!
i cant see the name of zips
The loading & checking of so many something .zip is some kind of check it does automatically. Happens on each HTC phone.
You will never be shown zip files automatically, you will need to navigate to it via recovery.
Now coming back to your problem. Since, the steps i said didn't work, i ll be searching for more troubleshooting methods. Also, you too search all forums regarding same problem.
Last resort... HTC Service Center. Be prepared to shell out some cash.

Was there something wrong in flashing back a GB ROM? Should i have restocked??
Well, I read the forum that guides on flashing RUU. Many have complained that they are getting the same error.
So, I went to the HTC Developer site and found that there is also a .zip file available, besides the .tar.gz files. You may try flashing that zip file.
Alternatively, I would suggest you to flash the available stock roms form here -> stock rom - mediafire.com.
Do reply what happens.

Actually it's my friend's phone. This what exactly he did to flash jaggy's ROM(that caused brick):
1. Flashed jaggy's through recovery. SUCESS!!!
2. Tried to flash superuser... :silly: ....
3. Couldn't boot into jaggy's next time. Recovery was still accessible.
4. Tried awful number of fastboot commands, did some drivers for windows 8.. Here he lost his recovery
.
He made CWM backup(working) of Jaggy ROM and tried restoring with cmd(didn't work)

I was just about to try updating from NScollab 1.0.39 to 1.0.40 and for some reason my nexus s refuses to boot into recovery. It doesn't seem to exist anymore. Im not sure if it is related or not but my phone became very laggy after my first failed attempt to boot into recovery. I tried fixing user permissions and rebooting many many times but it doesn't seem to help.
What does it do when u try to boot into recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
It doesnt do anything. It just reboots into the bootloader.
Thank you for the quick reply
edit:
i tried flashing recovery again through rom manager and now whenever i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the google logo with the unlocked padlock.
Hmmm
Do me a quick favor.
go here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ne...de#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery_Image
and download the 4.0.0.2 recovery image and save it to some directory on ur computer
then follow these steps:
1. Open up command prompt/terminal and plug in phone to computer
2. Type "adb reboot bootloader"
3. It will take you to fastboot mode. Now type "fastboot erase recovery"
4. Then type fastboot "flash recovery ____.img"
( ____ is the name of the recovery img file)
5. Now it will flash and once it says "OKAY" then scroll down using volume down into recovery and see what happens
plz get back to me bout this!

Get this http://db.tt/VTKmP0lQ and extract the recovery.img put it in your adb folder and flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then after you got the recovery back. Do format of all partitions except sd card in 4ext and then restore from backup

Download the correct RUU file for your device. Boot your device into Hboot/boatloader, connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Find the RUU, right click the .exe and select run as administrator. Follow the on screen instructions. Wait until your device reboots to the lock screen and then unplug your device.
This will put you back to complete stock, but you will have a usable device. You can always start over and try again. You should remain HTC Dev unlocked though.
i tried to reinstall viper rom in cwm recovery along with the ics gapps package, everything flashed fine but when i tried to boot the phone up it has become stuck in a boot loop and i cannot enter recovery (it starts to load then it reboots and resumes its boot loop). i re flashed cwm recovery, but the same error persists. in dire need of suggestions, need this thing working by tomorrow morning.
thanks in advance
Have you flashed the boot .img Before you flashed the ROM ？
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
You should try to get into the Bootloader mode , this will be possible even though you are in a bootloop. After you got into Bootloader mode you should flash using the AIO Toolkit the TWRP recovery (I think the AIO Toolkit can do that via Fastboot USB)
After that you can mount your sd card in TWRP and push a Nandroid of someone (You can find plenty of nandroids on the forums using the search, but search for TWRP nand) and restore it. AFTER all this you should read the instructions given on every rom thread you wanna flash. Google apps flashing on viper rom? srsly?
i already flashed both cwm and twrp manually before i posted, but went ahead and gave the toolkit a shot, it installs twrp no problem, but it still crashes and resumes the bootloop whenever i try to boot into recovery. and before you try to give people crap about installing an extra package, i flashed the gapps because the google services framework was not working, and your method (stated so far) was unhelpful. maybe check your tone next time

OK if you can get in recovery try to reflash the ROM without wipe and let it go threw and then click reboot into boatloader and just hold the bottom volume
After you get in there put the boot IMG in what ever folder you have you fastboot on your computer and hold down shift and click the right on the mouse and click command prompt and type fastboot flash boot boot.img it will load it after type fastboot erase cache and then fastboot reboot and just let it do its thing it will probably reboot twice and it will load right up

anybody has any idea what went wrong?
i flash the ics port from xbsall currently using V21A baseband and root succesfuly using the guide from the development thread.
however once i install the p940 recovery and granted superuser it could never boot to recovery.
i did make the twrp successfully boot to recover and make a backup 2 days ago. but because i flash the wrong baseband and messed up with my imei i decided to reflash all over again.
and tough luck it never reboot to recovery ever since.
please help... i'm dying to try xbsall newest room with acid sound....
I am in the same situatiom.
If someone can provide alternative or manual way it will be great.

Forget flashing Recovery partition if using ICS.
Specific TWRP/CWM recovery uses the 2nd init method and has nothing to do with recovery partition.
I have the same problem!
the installation of the .zip-file takes 2 sec.
it isn't normal for a size of 429 mb.
what's the problem
you can use the app that you used to install recovery to go in recovery mode,
3d+vol down+power doesnt work on me.

Ive looked around the internet, and here, and cant really figure something out. Do I have to install CM10 from fastboot or can I just install the zip using TWRP?
I ask because I tried installing the stable version of CM10 using TWRP and when I reboot I just get the spinning Cyanogenmod logo for a long time. Nothing ever happens.
Am I doing something wrong?
Did you make a backup of your stock Rom? Log into that. Get flashimagegui and use on the cm10 zip then boot back into twrp and install the zip.
Or
Open the cm10 zip on your computer. Extract boot.img. put your phone in fastboot. Put the boot.img in your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Well, looks like something might have gone wrong and I fear I might be SOL. I used flashimagegui then returned to TWRP to install CM10. I still got the spinning log. I went to restore my backup and I cant boot back into my back up. During bootup a HTC logo comes up with some red text (like its going to go into revocery) and then the screen goes blank. Nothing happens after that. If I turn off the phone and power on again, the same thing happens. I can turn it off then and go through the steps to get back into recovery. I have no idea what do to now. Any recommendations?

what version of hboot is on your device? if it is one of the later ones (1.12+) then you'll need to flash the boot img seperately. If this is the case, (and it sounds like it , as the same thing happened to me and the symptoms where the same).
Extract it from the ROM that you are flashing (open the zip file and drag out the boot.img). Then while TWRP is running, connect the USB cable to your comp and fire up a terminal (you'll need ADB/fastboot set up and working - search google or XDA for how to do it in your operating system).
Once you have adb/fastboot working and TWRP running -> at a terminal (or command prompt on windows) use adb to push the rom onto the sdcard, and then reboot to bootloader and select fastboot.
run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes. This should write the kernel image to the boot partition, and then you should be able to load TWRP to (wipe cache/dalvik and then) reflash cyanogen mod.
Good luck
If you can still boot into recovery, you're fine. Manually flash the CM10 boot.img with fastboot, do a full wipe in TWRP and then reinstall the CM10 zip + gapps. Should be good after that.
Thanks for the info, from both of you. Im going to try that right now.
Im trying to flash the boot.img file, but I keep getting an error. Any ideas?

Check that it says fastboot usb on your phone. You might not be in fastboot mode.
Otherwise, maybe try a different USB port on your computer, I've had issues trying to get it to detect through a usb hub, so plug it directly inot the computer to rule this out.

I didnt use the factory reset option from the bootloader. Being that I didnt, should I still try the directions on the link you gave?
When I go into fastboot is start off just saying "fastboot". If I press the volume up or down button is changes to "fastboot usb". I didnt even think about trying a different usb port, I will see if that makes a difference.

can you get into TWRP? if you can, go to the mount menu and see if you can unmount and then remount the sdcard. If you can do this, then you have no need to do the team-nocturnal sdcard fix.
I was able to unmount and then remount the sdcard. Actually, when I went into Mount menu in TWRP to begin with it gave me the option to Mount, then unmount. Is that the same thing? Does that mean my sdcard is not mounted and should I mount it in TWRP?
I was finally able to flash the boot.img. I then went into TWRP to install CM10. It installed and now is back into the spinning logo. Im ready to give up on this. Any more suggestions?
Just a thought, should I be removing the boot.img from the CM10 zip Im trying to install?
No don't remove it. Did you wipe data/system before installing. And wipe cache/dalvik after? Also the first boot could take up to 5 minutes sometimes

No worries man, good luck with your One X, I hope the worst is behind you now.
If you are feeling confident, there is a method to downgrade your hboot so you don't need to stuff around flashing the boot image separately. This however does involve bricking and then de-bricking your device, and you'll need a linux computer to pull it off, so this isn't for everyone.
