What do you see when you boot into recovery? Not sure how one can loose a recovery unless you tried to flash a different recovery.

screen capture as request
Yes I've try some weeks ago to unlock and root my device. In that moment I didn't knew that my device is S3 core. And of course I have flashed an recovery for S4 core.
In this moment when I try to enter recovery it stay on the white scree hours if I let him like this. Like in attachment.
I am shure that it is an chance to be repaired but the question is how?!
THX for ur help.

If you can locate a stock recovery for S3 you can flash it back.
Personally I have not seen one. There's a custom recovery for S3 now.
TWRP

Yes, lock the bootloader then run the RUU

I dont know that my phone is S3 until I unlock bootloader and flashed a S4 recovery. If I enter recovery menu it shows attached image. Now I cant enter recovery so I cant root my phone to flash a custom recovery. What I should do to root and flash a custom recovery?

in the INDEX under "Android Development" forums, there are "Stock Pre-rooted ROMs" which you can install through recovery as if they were custom roms

You have to ruu back to stock. Supercid stock, relock bootloader.why not just flash one of the stock roms in the dev section. As of now I dont even think there is a root exploit for 3.18 base

Im running the latest viper xl Rom and love it, u never said what hboot you are on. Anything 1.14 and up needs to have a boot image flashed separate. I think viper will flash the boot image for you though. If you need help with that let me know but u really should read more and you will figure this out quick enough

"Because it is new and is from their Carrier" so people will think they need to flash it

Lol lucky he didn't brick or corrupt hboot . There is a version of that here in android to use instead of ota btw
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

To the OP:
-When you take an ota, it tries to reboot to recovery. You have a custom recovery installed, but you have to have stock recovery to install an official update.
-You can flash this thing you downloaded, but it has to be renamed update.zip and moved to the root directory. Then you've got to run a ruu to get stock recovery back on.
-If you have s-on and superCID, installing this OTA will brick your phone.
-The 3.18 ota contains some firmware updates and a new hboot that aren't included in JB roms. But if your phone is running fine, you don't need these.
-You're better off just flashing a JB rom until you understand more about how your phone works.

[Q] Flashing a ROM on HTC Sensation 4g

Hello everyone,
I recently bought HTC Sensation 4g (T-mobile) and it's already S-OFF, rooted (Superuser by ClockworkMod) and recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0 and it has stock rom Android 2.3.4. Recently, I got alerted about an update of 4.0.4 for my HTC then I downloaded it but can't install it so I guess it's because it's rooted. I really want to install 4.0.4 on my HTC sensation 4g then I searched up for roms until I found this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now, my question is, how should I flash it? Should I normally just flash it via CWM or via odin? Or I will have to go back to stock recovery for flashing the rom that Steve0007 posted on the thread linked above. And just to confirm, is it compatible with my device?
Android: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.50.531.1
Thanks!

First upgrade your firmware to 3.33universal
Go to the development section and search for kohr-ah's thread
Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that you have to flash an ics or jellybean Rom because your current Rom won't boot with ics firmware
Edit:do not never use Odin for anything.it is not for sensation devices

And uhh, it's really big headache unlike Samsung mobiles.. easy to root and easy to get back to stock. HTC is a big headache for those things.

Hey, just changed my mind, how about flashing another good custom ROM? Should I just flash custom ROM via CWM? 4.0.4 stock is way too hard and gonna take time.

yes you can use any custom rom you like

[Q] HTC Butterfly X920D JB 4.3 new OTA update issue

Hello guys, I have a very little issue after downloading the OTA to install it
You can find the software version details for my HTC Butterfly X920D in attachments and more info also.
JB 4.3.
Simply I checked for new updates and I found there is new updates as you see in attached pics. Definitely I tapped update and then unfortunately it shown Variant system version! as you see in attached pic
I've relocked my phone and replaced TeamWin recovery with the original stock recovery but also I'm getting the same message
You can find a screenshot for my Bootloader and the Recovery in attachments.
I don't know actually If my rom is stock or not but as you see the screenshots guys, can you tell me?
and can you tell me how to solve the OTA issue in order to download and install it successfully?
Thanks, best regards.

Dear Omar,
First, thanks for the link for Stock Recovery...
but because I cannot wait for any longer, LOL, I just diggin' arround and find this post and find the stock Recovery.
After Flashing the stock recovery I'm able to install OTA for 4.3, even with unlocked bootloader! :yay:
Before get 4.3 OTA, my past ROM is Stock 4.2.2

Thanks
