[Q] Desire S boots into recovery mode automatically!!

hello, I have a problem with a desire s phone which keeps booting into recovery mode when i turn it on. here's my step by step of what I did that got me into this predicament.
the phone had a stock 1.48 asia rom 0.98.0002 bootloader locked, and unrooted. so first I ran revolutionary had no problems there, had a revolutionary logo on my bootloader afterwards and the bootloader version was now 6.98.0002 or something I forget. anyway the next thing i did was I downloaded the stock euro rom 2.10.401.9 and extracted the rom.zip then renamed it to PG88img.zip copied it to the memcard ran fastboot, then fastboot automatically installed the zip after installation restarted the phone, now the phone was stuck on the white htc screen, so I ran recovery press the power and vol up and did a factory reset, had no luck with it still stuck on htc screen, now after reading a lot of threads, downloaded the ENGpg88img bootloader flashed it using fastboot and it was successful, the revolutionary logo was gone and the bootloader was now 6.98.0000 ( PG880000) but now when I rebooted the phone it would go directly back to recovery!! So the next thing i did was ran the euro rom again from the memcard thru fastboot and it updated the bootloader to the newest version and had a "locked"on top of the screen, so i did a boot unlock using htcdev and now its unlocked, then downloaded the clockwork recovery for saga then flashed it using fastboot with no problems. so now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to clockwork recovery! So last thing I did which also failed was I downloaded a pre rooted stock rom euro 2.10, placed it on memcard installed the zip from clockwork recovery then wiped all the data, dalvik cached and all then rebooted. But it still went back to clockwork recovery now I'm stumped. Really need help on this one.

long story short, I can only use fastboot, and if I use clockwork mod recovery to mount system i can do some adb commands. i also tried putting it in fastboot and ran an official RUu but I always get error 150. any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that your chip is gone. I have the same problem (boot looping) and had to try reclamation by phone provider. Find thread with "boot looping", or "white screen". You will find some software for a searching of your chip. Finaly all depends on your mobile vendor

yeah i thought it was the chip, but after 3 days of tinkering with it and reading a lot of threads i finally got everything back to normal. thanks for replying though zdech

Hi, I have the same problem with HTC Desire.
Could you tell how you solved this please?

I don't know if he did what he wrote, but a big mistake was the last step.

he installed ROM and wiped afterwards. Of course it fails at booting ;-)
If you really are in the same situation like him, wiping first and install ROM afterwards should solve the problem ;-)

Have to disagree with you there, what he said was
installed ROM
wiped DATA
wiped CACHE
rebooted
The ROM ZIP would have been flashed into SYSTEM not DATA, so wipe shouldn't have caused a problem
question is did BOOT flash ok?

[Q] stuck in bootloop, recovery unaccecable, only fastboot

hey guys,
i flashed cm10 a few days ago, coming from viperone rom. today i decided to change back. i booted into recovery, wiped and flashed the viper.zip in recovery.
since then ive been in a boot loop. i can still access the bootloader and get fastboot to work. if i boot into recovery it will bootloop.
tryed flashing roms with
fastboot flash zip rom.zip ; with respective
fastboot flash boot boot.img
flashing the zip i get the error:
writing "zip"...
FAILED: (remote: not allowed)
tryed flashing new recovery, i get a notivifacation that flashing finished. but it will still bootloop if i go into recovery.
im kinda stuck, any suggestions, id be really thankful if someone could help me out?

Hi, are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Remote: Not Allowed usually means your bootloader is locked.

thx for the quick answer,
i unlocked my bootloader ages ago and have flashed many roms in the last few months. additionaly wenn i get into the bootloader at the top of the screen it sais :
***UNLOCKED***
so im pretty sure i used the htc dev unlock
there is no prob when i flash new recoveries. ive tryed clockworkmod, clockworkmodtouch and twrp. all have worked on this phone.
in bootloader when i tell it to boot into recovery. i see the recovery screen for a split second. then it reboots

It might sound dumb but try to flash the recovery 2 or 3 times back to back before you try to get into it.

The time that happened to me was when I didn't fast boot flash the boot.img. That did nothing for you?

You sound like what happened to me last night... was stuck in bootloop after flashing rom.. I thought.. no biggy reflash rom but couldn't mount sdcard.. so I had to do relock bootloader.. RUU install and then root/unlock bootloader procedure again.. Only way I got mine to work..

thx guys,
flashing boot.img didnt help. already tried.
will lock phone and try cruzers method in the morning. no sense doing this after being out for some beers

This happened to me last Monday. I used flashboot to wipe the cache after reflashing the twrp, I don't remember the command at the moment though. I also made sure to disconnect my USB when I restarted the phone.

Thx guys, i got it to boot!
Erasing cach got me back into recovery but couldnt not push rom or flash zip
Relocked, flashed ruu, and unlocked Again and its good as new.
<3 U guys Thx for the hel

[Q] Bricked HTC One (M7) (Unique Case)

I have an HTC One M7 (AT&T) 32GB
HBoot 1.56
Rooted, Unlocked, S-On
I was installing cyanogenmod using the cyanogenmod installer paired with the phone installer and it got stuck in the open Android with the little hex ball rotating. I force shut it down and it booted fine. It happened again so I force shut it down again, but this time it boot looped. It boot loops while entering recovery mode, too.
I have scoured tons of the forums and I have tried these so far.
-Cleared the cache.
-Flashed TWRP
-Flashed CWM on Unlocked Bootloader
-Restored firmware with relocked bootloader
-Restored with RUU and RUU exe
Still boot loops when entering recovery and regular boot up.
-I sent it in for a JTAG and should see if the techs were successful by tomorrow.
I'm starting to think my HTC is a read only file system. So desperate since this is my third phone this month after my first one's screen just died and the second one got dropped and destroyed. Any help is seriously appreciated.

maybe u forgot to flash boot.img via fastboot?

HELP!! HTC E8 Dual SIM M8Sw back to Stock (Lollipop --> stock)

Hi, I've updated officially to 5.0.2 but now I am selling the phone.
1) Rooted
2) Bootloader Off
3) Flashed GAPPS
After I did a factory reset, the phone isn't working 100%, I am missing the navigation key, lots of forced closed etc.
I tried to flash a ruu.zip via bootfast but have error.
Can I use a TWRP backup to restore? http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
I don't want to mess it up.

To flash the RUU, your boot loader needs to LOCKED or RELOCKED. Open fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" and then try flashing the RUU using bootloader.

Hi,
How can I find Stick RUU for m8sw?
I flashed TWRP, SuperSu, and xposed for lollipop. after that my phone worked just fine for almost a day. but it is stocked in boot logo. I cant fond anything on the web.

Moto G wont flash recovery wont flash new rom any help is appreciated

Hi guys in a new guy in xda Peace be upon you all .So here is the deal i have rooted quite a few phones and unlocked and got rid of softbrick .But this one is give me a headache .The owner gave me the phone he said he bought a 10 of those for his repair shop.I fixed the Htc One it was 2 nights of work barely any sleep.But never the less this device is moto g first generation the device is locked by pattern and wont let me in .If i slide to the camera at the lock screen camera stopped working .Fine i was like oke this would be easy its corrupted os .Next i tried to unlock the bootloader it failed with error battery was very weak like 5 %than i let it charge to about 80% and i managed to unlock the bootloader .Next i tried to install custom recovery to get rid of screen lock .when i go to recovery i got the screen with green android dude on his back with no comand then i hold volume up button for 10 sec and i tap the power button and it booted to android stock recovery .No matter what i do i couldnt get to install custom recovery it says finished without errors in cmd but i couldnt it always reverts me to stock recovery .Someone told me some stock roms after restart reinstalls stock recovery.Then i said fine i will do this in fastboot on cmd :fastboot boot recovery twrp.img and its the same it says downloading fine then goes and its the same stock recovery adb sideload wont work because usb debbuging is turned off i think because when i type adb devices it displays nothing emtpy so i even tried to get rid of whole stock rom but no go i tried fastboot erase data fastboot erase system fastboot erase cache it all displays sucesfull next reboot the same stock rom like i never touched anything i even tried factory reset in stock recovery it wont work it says done. like its completed but it doesnt do anything any help is apprecieted

Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert! But I have flashed twrp to 2 Moto Gs this week.
What I needed to do after flashing the recovery, was going immediately to recovery without rebooting.
When I rebooted after flashing the recovery I also got the 'no command' guy. But going to recovery from the bootloader menu after flashing worked for me.

Thank you for replying i already tried that but it doesnt work i tried twrp cwm recovery you name it it doesnt work .Hm what i dont get i erased the whole stock os with fastboot erase data fastboot erase system and it still boots in to the os only tought that comes in to my mind is that the bootloader is corrupted messed up .Or is the eMMC it has errors .I dont know what to do i tried all or maybe the phone is stolen and it wont accept any permissions but i doubt it i get no errors in fastboot and trough flashing and factory reset all completed sucesfully .I dont know what to do .This is a tough one if i only had riff box jtag to try that Do you know some custom bootloader can you link me ?

You need to flash original stock 5.1 rom for your phone..From this link you have tutorial how to do it. You must do it because your partitions and file system is messed up..With this stock rom will be fixed bootloader and partitions..
After install stock rom you could install twrp again and any custom rom..

thank you kind sir i will try that thank you

why???
I done as it says in the tutorial cmd returns all okay when i finished the instalation the some old os locked screen same old recovery same thing nohing changed i done everything correct why mate do you know the reason i even put android 5.02 .Its like i never touched anything i done all right
