I can no longer get into clockwork recovery...

I am on brainmasters miui rom, and whenever I try to go into recovery the phone just gets stuck on the Google logo and doesn't move, forcing me to pull the battery. I have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times and idk what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

reflash recovery. did you flash recovery through rom manager the first time? flash recovery through fastboot.

I also made the experience that flashing recovery through rom manager doesn't always work...had the same problem, also using brainmaster's MIUI rom.

Check the rooting guides for the directions.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

Thats strange, the old driver is working then but not the new one. Normally that would have something to do with the module not getting loaded or something, but on a fresh, unmodified fallout 5.0 installation it should work. How are you doing the full wipe?

WiFi and Hotspot not working
I got the same issue.
However, the problem occurs when i restart the handset. Each time I restart the kernel changes to Kernel: 3.0.16-g62a67df [email protected]#PREEMPT.
lowveld also thinks this might be the problem.
Can any one help? i do not have the PG88 thing on my SD card. why is the kernel changing automatically when i restart?

Figured out my problem. I used fastboot boot boot.IMG which is wrong the correct command is fastboot flash boot boot.IMG. WiFi and hotspot is working like a charm with fallout ver 5
Hope this might help someone else
I would like to appriciate lowveld for his awesome Rom and his support

Which kernel are you using?
Based on some searching and lowveld this issue might be caused by old ones.

Don't forget to flash the boot.img again after you install the kernel. Some boot.img can be found in the kernel folder of the zip

Shut down the phone. Remove your SIM. Power it on and try WiFi. If works that you will be one the unfortunate users with country code issues (more info here)
If it is not the case I suggest to to da full wipe using 4EXT Recovery and install everything again.

I'm still s on and htcdev unlocked but able use 4ext recovery without any problem. Try to download the 4ext recovery again and flash it using fastboot. Download recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745.
After flashing the recovery do the whole full wipe, boot.img flash etc all over again.
Best of luck!

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

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.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file

Tried flashing ROM zip but no joy...when should i flash boot img? before or after recovery?

Finally seem to have done it and managed to RUU
The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.

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.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!

all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will

Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

Recently got my desire S
rooted, S-ON and unlocked bootloader
I tried flashing the sense 4.1 ROM rebirth via clockworkmod and EXT4 recovery but both have resulted in reboots into recovery.
I forgot to make a backup of my stock ROM now I am stuck.
Have tried ADB method but it just won't work
Any solution so I can try flash a different ROM so I have a phone that works?
Thanks guys
Reply ASAP
PS I have looked into this solution for hours via google and XDA. can't find a solution :/

I believe this has been answered in the Q & A thread. If not, search for 'flashing boot.img' on Google.

Oh.. that's a necessary step to flash boot.img from the Rom.zip ... It's the kernel.
Unless you are S-OFF, you are gonna need to flash the kernel every time you flash a ROM.

Do a research on S-OFF before doing it. It poses some problems too.
