[Q] HTC one SV k2cl stuck on boot loop Please Help - HTC One SV

I rooted on HTC ONE SV
Moonshine s-off
k2cl
Boost mobile
everything was fine till i installed a apk to control system settings then it went into boot loop
i've "adb flashed boot.img from a boost rom and sideloaded it threw CMWrecovery.
It's been flashing system for an hour and a half.
is there a boot, recovery and rom that will fix this problem, even if its stock.
all keep seeing is the recovery and boot.img
i want to put everything back the way it was stock or not
WHAT SHOULD I DID I'M AT A LOSS !!!
Please Help, Thanks in advance

@angelus9151
You can't flash a boot.img via sideload and you can't flash a boot.img via adb. Has to be with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Your boot.img is most likely fine, you just need to restore your system partition. Did you make a backup of your device using your custom recovery? If so, then you need to restore using that backup. Otherwise, I can provide a link to either my TWRP backup (not CWM compatible), an RUU, or my deodexed Rom. Your choice. First, if you already have a backup made up, then apply it. Otherwise, let me know.

Sorry about that yah i took the boot.img out of the (K2CLCconversionN) Rom and flashed it via fast boot "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
My only problem now is finding a rom that will work with data on the K2CL Boost one.
Thanks

@angelus9151
Download, and run this on your windows computer. Your device will need to be plugged in via usb to your computer also.

Just a pointer from someone who used to use CWM if you flash twrp recovery its a lot cleaner, with more options than CWM. since your going back stock I would recommend flashing twrp recovery in place of CWM

I had TWRP on before CWM but even when i would load that it would still bootloop thats why i used CWM. Just one question if i want to root it again without a system control app this time will i be able to use this exe file to restore it if it happens again. it took me a year before i tried it because the first time there was no roms and i bootlooped that HTC one SV and had to fork over $300.00 bucks for a new one but i figured that i would root it because of busybox.
Again Thanks...Your a life saver if this works.I'll let you know when i'm done

Its an ruu, an ruu is about as legit as you are going to get when it comes to restoring your phone. So yes, it will work . If your phone bootlooped when you flashed twrp in the past then my guess is that you either used the wrong fastboot commands and wrote it to another partition by accident, or you used a TWRP that was not presumably built for your phone and thus used another TWRP designed for another device.

If you are about to do something to your phone, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it, how it works, why it works, should I make a mistake what are my escape routes, and if all else fails - plan B. If none of these are set to mind then I recommend you do absolutely nothing to your phone until you actually understand its method.

Thank you for everything. This is forth phone I've rooted a phone. First three where easy : evo 4g, galaxy 3s, galaxy prevail. But this was tricky not as many rims out there for it. Again thank you. Now that I fixed it I'm going root it again just no system tweaking apps for me

Hi, So i just bought this device and I've looked all over the internet to root my htc one sv on BOOST mobile. I unlocked the bootloader but then must have been following the wrong guide and flashed a wrong recovery or something. I can boot just not into recovery, it gets stuck "entering recovery". Does anyone know a recent and more updated way to root this device?! Thank you so much in advance!

[Q] bricked...kinda

long story short I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, DID NOT backup (I know) gained su, tried to install cm10 and now I am in boot loop. tried relocking and re flashing stock ruu, that landed me in only booting into bootloader. re-unlocked and re flashed twrp back to boot loop. I am not real familiar with adb so I would need simple instructions please. what do I do? thanks
You haven't given the important information, please post your bootloader details.
PS. You're not even close to being bricked. A brick is only when you have absolutely no response from your device whatsoever.

I can get into bootloader and I can get into recovery but from there i'm not sure what to do, in the original instructions I went to reboot and clicked system, after doing that is when the boot loop started and if I do it again now the same thing happens just bootloops

s-off!!! After you ruu before reunlocking or anything are you still bootlooping? I have had that happen before, I fixed it once with a factory reset in bootloader. Make sure you only do factory reset in bootloader completely stock or you will corrupt sdcard. Running "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot after flashing custom recovery or even stock could help, i always run this command anytime i flash something in fastboot. When flashing a custom rom make sure to do full wipes, i always go to advcanced in wipe tab and select everything except sdcard.

very useful and easy to follow thanks for the link, however adb commands don't seem to be working as when I try any of them nothing happens. even adb devices just says list of devices attached and there is no list and no devices, adb shell does nothing etc. I tried a factory reset from bootloader and it just rebooted into twrp...when from feeling like a king when I finally got su on there to such a dumbass now, and the wife is enjoying telling me I should've have messed with it in the first place.
If you can get into twrp do it then mount your device to pc, copy a ROM of choice to filesystem, unmount phone, do a full wipe, then flash the ROM.

ok so I re-formatted it and was about to enter twrp and mount the drive, I downloaded the latest updated rom from htc.com and tried to load it with twrp that didn't work so I tried to use htc's tool and that didn't work either.
You need to slow down and do some research before trying all this stuff which you have no clue about. You're on a fast track to actually bricking your phone. All you need to do is install a ROM in recovery, reboot to bootloader, flash the boot.img from the ROM via fastboot and reboot into the ROM. That's all you needed to do from the very beginning because you're s-on. Unfortunately the people who were trying to help you didn't identify this and kinda sent you on a wild goose chase

Well he had a corrupted that wouldn't let him mount the SD so my advice was to format it to fat32 then install a ROM from the forum.

The corrupted sd card wasn't until later in the thread. You don't need adb for that anyway, you format it through Windows. All he had to do originally was flash the boot.img via fastboot.

You should be able to just Google adb/fastboot. The traditional way is to download the Android SDK and get it from there but that's a huge download. I know there are sources which will supply you with just adb and fastboot but I can't remember where.

Problem installing carbon rom 4.3.1 over maximus hd

Hye. I installed maximushd rom few weeks ago. Now i wanted to install carbon rom but each time i flash it from recovery it fails.
I also installed miui rom. It flashes fine and boots. But i cant access my sd card. Only internal 48mb can be seen. Is there any solution for these problems?

That only happens when you use the ****** (fastboot command that will not be named, because someone will use it and have a paperweight)

By doing the 1st or the 2nd method, then I'll have to re-unlock via HTC Dev ?

You don't have to relock bootloader to run RUU on s-off device.
Just reboot to fastboot, make sure your pc can see your phone and execute ruu*.exe

Yes, that is the important bit, clear storage in bootloader when you have the STOCK recovery.
The stock recovery fixes the issues. (from what I have read on our forums)

Had to flash it a time or two, but it works! No issues so far, thank you!
EDIT: Did run into an issue, when attempting to flash a new ROM it gave me an error "status 7" stating that the rom was tagged as for an "m4", but the device read as an " " from recovery. Backup and restore seems to work just fine though, so I restored from nandroid.
Just remove asserts from updater script. You probably tried flashing cm11 and the rom doesnt work.

You cant? try not booting from recovery just power down and then reboot. ive found that to work with s-off and unlocked. ive heard of many talking about this problem.lol i aint had it?
Sorry, I didn't explain properly.....
The issue is that I can't boot my ROM with s-off and an unlocked bootloader - just boot loops, it's a known issue.
I'd have to unlock the bootloader to flash your recovery, but then my ROM won't boot. As your recovery doesn't have a terminal emulator built in like TWRP has, I have no way of relocking the bootloader (I would execute ./revone -l ) so ROM can't boot.....

Would your modified hboot firmware image allow s-off and unlocked bootloader to work? Thanks!

This thread is old news.haha
Somehow for me, the recovery switches to os recovery. I have custom recovery upgrade off, I have to reset the recovery every time I update.
can you please tell me on how to do this? ive downloaded the recovery image but when i try to use it using odin i cannot see the file recovery image. please help

[Q] bricked it

So I took one wrong turn and bricked my htc one x.
It was in a restart loop, and I hadn't changed anything before that. I let it restart on charge for a couple of days hopefully it works one time (it did once but happened again the next time I shut it off)
So I had no luck with that, so I backed up all my data with twrp. I went to wipe and I accidentally pressed "system" too.
Now the phone only gives me the bootloader and not even twrp.
Tampered
unlocked
s-on
What can I do?
If u can access bl,ur not bricked

great...what can I do?
Wiping system is just the files inside the ROM. Just ref lash the rom

Luckily you're not even close to being bricked, all you've done is wipe the system. That's easily fixed by flashing a ROM again, you're s-on so don't forget to flash the boot.img with fastboot afterwards. Check out the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature, you'll find them really valuable. I'd also strongly suggest you get s-off, it's very easy and is pretty much a necessity these days.

can you guys give a more detailed explanation? I ****ed up once already and am a bit scared lol
So I flash twrp again, then install a rom? Does it have to be the original or can I go custom at this point?
Recovery depends on the ROM type. Some Roms require a fstab or selinux, and sometimes a modded recovery . Always read the Roms o.p..
Happy flashing!![emoji14]

Did you read the How-To Guide For Beginners thread like I suggested? It contains detailed instructions on anything you need to do right now (flashing recovery, ROM, boot.img). You might as well use the latest TWRP recovery (2.7.1.0), as it should flash anything. You'll find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
As long as you have TWRP recovery installed, you can flash any ROM you like, as long as it's for this device of course.

fixed...
installed twrp 2.7.1.0
was not letting me mount, so I formatted with the pc
put PACMAN's 4.4.4 on it, which sucks so far. Doesn't open play store.
I might put on a different one. We'll see.
Thanks for the help guys
Did you flash the correct gapps package to go with PACman? You need to flash the appropriate package to match the Android version of the ROM.

You have to have the ICS boot loader and Boot Menu Manager in order to install and run CM11 or any other ROM that is Jelly Bean and up. Just update your firmware, root, install BMM the start flashing. :thumbup:
So I'm having some trouble.. Before I do this I need to fix something..

catch me up with what you did to get where your are at, I need to know your cause before I can find a solution.
next, are you rooted and have a custom recovery installed? You can boot but get nothing right? Did this happen when you flashed a new ROM or after you got rid of things in your system?

only thing i did was change my boot animation. An thats it downloaded cydia substrate and winter board.. I removed both and tried to reboot and same thing happened. Also it was doing it before I even installed them and changed the boot animation.
I might of deleted some att apps but when I did a full restore and got them back I even fully uninstalled bootstrap with titanium back up. An say after I fully restored I turned my phone off and back on boom no imei no service etc..
My phone is rooted an im on firmware 2.3.6
I have no clockwork mod I cant get it too work or I know I cant get clockwork mod wit bootstrap.. But even when i went into boot recovery i was just in a bootloop at my motorola boot screen. an was not able to get into recovery no matter what button i pressed.

I hate to say it but it looks like you might have to flash a jelly bean STOCK(not custom) firmware, then start over from scratch, I think you are going to have to do it anyway because there are things in the stock jellybean that you're gonna need in place before you flash any kind of new ROM, it would also be easier that way than trying to fix your problem befire you start.

yes as long as it is a stock version of jelly bean for your device, doesnt matter the version as long as its for your exact model number
you won't be able to do it through recovery though, you'll have to have a oc to flash stock firmware to your device, you'll need to download your stock firmware (not custom roms), the usb drivers for your device, and whatever program is required to flash your stock firmware. no other way, then you'll have to root again and install a recovery then you can find and flash whatever custom roms are available for your device

you might could just reflash recovery with a pc with whatever method your device uses on pc then flash a custom rom, its safest to just flash the stock and start over

there is a process that you can do through the terminal emulator app that you can make a backup of your imei and a method to restore it but you'll have to find how it is done for your device, do a google search for "HOW TO MAKE AN IMEI BACKUP FOR (your device model)" that should give you something.

Hello..!!
Do you've Atrix 2 mb865 ..?? if yes you can follow this step..
you need to download ICS/JB leak firmware for ur device AT&T/International version, then you need rsd lite to flash ur stock fw back to ur device via fasboot mode..
Root ur device again and then you need to install Boot Menu Manager from playstore . No Bootstrap anymore if you want to have KK rom on ur Atrix2..
Bootstrap only can be use if you're still on GB only..
Hope you got it my friend ...

No.. you no need to backup your IMEI on this device.. But you must need to backup your CID .

I told him I wasn't familiar with his device, I told him to flash a newer version of stock because it has parts he'll need if he flashes a newer custom ROM but he keeps wanting yo fix what he's running even though he's gonna have to flash over it anyway to get where he wants to be so I don't see wgat the problem is, flashing stock will get rid of his issue then flash up to whatever Rom he wants, I don't see why he doesn't just go ahead and do it now instead of doing what he's doing.
