TWRP crashing - HTC One Mini

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

flashing recovery

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

[Q] RAZR HD XT 925 Boots into recovery by default

So, today I trade my HTC One for a RAZR XT925, $350, and a water proof 32GB Sandisk ultra sd card on Kijiji. I thought it was kinda weird to get all of this stuff, but it seemed fine at the time. Afterwards however, I found out that every time you turn off or reboot the phone, it tried to go into recovery mode or something with the android guy and a bar at the bottom in a loop and always factory reset the phone, so no matter what, every time you turned it off, it'd reset it. After hours and hours of work, I have the bootloader unlocked, rooted, CWM installed, and Cynogenmod also installed. It no longer factory resets it (I think, but i sent a text to a random number and when I rebooted it was still there), however, everytime i power off and power on, it goes into recovery mode. This is very annoying and will make it very hard to sell again, but if I can fix this last thing, I'll have a solid phone until the waterproof S4 comes out as well as having made like $100.
So basically, I need to know what to do to make it boot into the rom by default and not the recovery. Also, I searched it up and someone else had a problem where they kept booting into AP fastboot mode I think, I tried that line, it said successful, but it didnt work. For me, it's booting into the recovery by default.

I root it, unlocked the boot loader, flashed cwm recovery, and installed CyanogenMod. Now it boots into cwm recovery by default and if I click reboot system now, it just boots back into cwm. Only way to get to the system is to go to the boot menu by pressing all three buttons and selecting boot normally.
Stock recovery is gone. Cwm asked to replace it so that the phone doesn't reinstall it on reboot. Cwm doesn't, but when the phone booted it stock recovery, it used to get wiped.

No the problem was in stock. When I got it it wasn't rooted or anything, rooting helped fix the problem partially by not making it wipe every time I boot it. Now the only problem is that whenever I boot it up after a shut down or restart, it boots into recovery mode instead of the ROM.

did you ever find a solution for this? I just bought a used phone and am facing the same problem - I can't even boot into recovery, it will just start bootlooping again. Only thing that seems to be working is fastbood mode. (or regular reboot, but then everything is wiped every time)

Thanks for the hint, will give it a try. RSDLite just completed flashing, but the odd behaviour of the phone is still the same. Guess I might just have a broken phone... :/

After a few hours, I (somehow) ended up being able to enter recovery. On the downside though, now it always goes automatically into fastboot, because everything seems to be screwed up. I even got CWM installed though (unlocked the device because I didn't know what else to do).
Now every time it goes into fastboot, the reason given is: "sticky bit fastboot"
Any ideas left?
Oh btw, I have a german phone, in case that matters somehow. I can't flash in any fastboot way anymore, now I always get some message about a downgraded version. Of course details can be supplied if needed.
edit: was now able to flash CM, no idea what I did so that it didn't give me errors anymore. It still goes into fastboot by default on every reboot though, I always need to select "reboot device" manually every time.

Sounds like you are able to use the phone. That’s good.
The error is saying it can’t downgrade the trust zone (tz) right? That is normal for a phone with an unlocked bootloader. You can simply ignore that.
The sticky bit fastboot problem looks like it can be fixed by issuing this command while in fastboot mode: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

the fb_mode_clear was the culprit, thanks a lot!
and the error says: "downgraded security version. update gpt_main version failed. preflash validation failed for GPT" - which is still keeping me from flashing stuff via fastboot.
since I can't fastboot flash at the moment: do you happen to know where I can get the german modem image so that I can flash it using CWM? I think through all the flashing and trying I have a corrupt or wrong modem file (probably the US version). I can not log into the carrier network right now. it asks me for my SIM PIN and unlocks the SIM, but that's it. so I can't make phone calls or anything right now.

[Q] Yet Another Potential Brick

Hello,
Earlier today I installed BAKED ROM on my AT&T HTC ONE XL that was at the time running CM 10.1 After having some issues with wifi not working I decided to restore from my backup made in CWR when installing CM 10.1 on my phone. After the restore finished i was stuck in a bootloop. So i went back into CWR to re install the BAKED ROM. Once i cleared drive i came to realize that i somehow deleted the .zip files for the ROM on my phone and no longer had a ROM to install. After that i decided that I would mount my phone from CWR so i can transfer the .zip to my phone and then install. After realizing i need to use TWRP to be able to mount and transfer files i was going to flash over TWRP in fastboot. My issue currently is that my phone is powered off after telling it to shutdown in bootloader, and i can not get it to turn back on or to boot into bootloader so that i can flash TWRP. Hopefully i am missing something small here. Any advise is appreciated.
Thank You

hold the power button down for about 15 seconds. wait for 5 seconds, then press the power button and volume down at the same time after a few seconds you should get the bootloader screen.
does the led come on when you're charging it?

Sadly based on my knowledge and experience(I learned this the hard way by taking the ATT OTA) if the led doesn't come on while charging and you cant access your bootloader your phone is sadly dead. However you can double check to see if its your cord and if it is not then call HTC if device is still under warranty. They replaced the internals of mine and recieved it back at no charge.
If I have helped in any way hit the Thanks button please.
Why did you "need" to go to TWRP to mount SD? Clockworkmod has had SD mount fixed for some time now, hasn't it?
Leave the phone on wall charger (not connected to computer) overnight or 8 Hrs or so, and see if you get any LED's or can get into bootloader. If you were only messing with ROMs and recovery, I don't see how you can be bricked (as long as anything you were trying to flash was for the EVITA). The battery may just have run down while you were messing with the device.

Well when i went into clockworkmod and told it to mount SD it did not work, i have all of my drivers installed properly so it couldn't be a driver issue. So i figured that i would just flash over TWRP and use mount to usb as a second shot. I will have to try and leave it plugged in later after work. Yes the ROM that i installed was for the EVITA, it was running fine except the wifi wouldnt turn on.

If/when you get back up and running, if still on CWM, make sure its up to date. I think the SD mount was fixed quite some time ago.

When i came home from work and plugged it in the red LED light came on. After letting it charge for about 5 hours i tried to access the bootloader by pressing power down for 15 seconds, then waiting 5, and then power and volume down, to no result. Only when holding down power for the first 15 seconds the soft on screen keys did flash

After holding the power button down and let the capacitive keys flash 6 times. The 6 flashes means a hard reset and it's about to start rebooting. Let go of the power button and immediately hold volume down. It should take you into the bootloader. Then you can fastboot flash TWRP.

Glad you got it working.
What hboot are you on? If you are on one of the newer ones, not 1.09, and don't have s-off you have to manually flash the boot.img through fastboot after installing the ROM. That sounds like it might be your issue.

Agreed, i did forget to flash to boot image during my excitement to a working phone again, even so, if i hadn't flashed the boot image why is it that my phone was actually able to start up the rom and go through phone system setup?

because the rom you flashed is based on CM so it was compatible enough to boot but not have everything working as it should. if you don't flash the boot.img, the previously used kernel would still be used.
The ROM was running and i was able to use my phone. Then i flashed over the boot.img for my rom and now it doesnt boot up it is stuck at the Cyanogen Mod loading screen

boot to recovery, wipe everything (cache, dalvik, system, factory reset), reflash the rom you want to use, then reboot to bootloader and fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom you just flashed.
Not sure where you went wrong but that will get you booting. To avoid having to fastboot flash boot boot.img everytime, you can S-OFF.

I will have to look into the S-OFF. As of right now i wiped everything, installed rom, installed gaps, went to bootloader flashed boot.img and now just waiting to see if it will start up

You can also use the flash image GUI app to flash a boot image in Android right before you boot to recovery to flash the ROM. But I would definitely look into s-off. It's a very easy process and then you don't ever have to worry about the boot.img at all.

stuck in loop, possibly a different kind of loop

I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.
Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.
success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!
stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..
When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

After flashing TWRP, use the volume and power button to select recovery. Once in TWRP, wipe cache, data, reboot.

Oneplus One stuck in recovery

Event 1 : My oneplus one got stuck within TWRP recovery, have tried flashing other custom ROMs but while rebooting to system it rebooted back to TWRP recovery every time. Tried to reboot the phone to bootloader mode, even that resulted to rebooting to TWRP.
Event 2 : After this I've replaced the TWRP recovery with stock recovery, then connected to my computer through adb sideload via the OTA update option in stock recovery menu. But since I do not have the OTA update file can not test either it will boot or not. Here I require the whole zip file not just the new update portion.
Now, is there anyway to get to twrp recovery again or boot the stock rom in the phone.
Any form of help is much appreciated...

I guess I know what caused the rebooting of twrp everytime.
It's because of the vol - button is getting pressed
automatically. Just open the back over and clean the vol button strips then reattach the back cover properly,your issue of twrp rebooting should be solved.
And you can flash the twrp using fastboot then flash any rom you want to.
The issue got figured out..thanks a lot sir..your effort is much appreciated..
