[Q] Where has recovery gone? - HTC One Mini

no access to recovery
I've got big problem. My One Mini is fine until I try to go into recovery. It refuses to go there.
I get fastboot and bootloader menus fine. It enters bootloader, but if I try to go into recovery, it just goes back to the main bootloader menu.
The problem started when I flashed CWMRecovery. Fastboot and adb recognise my phone, and accept commands, but when I try to fastboot flash recovery in it sends an error message. File not found.
I tried " fastboot boot recovery.img" but that just froze the machine .
When I try to get into recovery from rom manager or ROM toolbox pro, it takes me to the fastboot menu, not into recovery, and we're back to square one, as above.
Running android 4.3 Sense 5.5 software 2.12.401.1 Supercid 11111111
rooted and unlocked
To get the phone to work again, I have to hold power down for about 10 secs direct from fastboot/bootloader...may have to do this several times before it boots into Android.
If I turn power off from bootloader, it returns to bootloader when I power up again.
If I don't turn the phone off, once in main application, it's all OK.
Ho hum.
As I say , it works like a dream until I want to go into recovery.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks

The correct command to flash the recovery is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
see also: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro
Booting into recovery should be possible with
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I didnt tried CWM on the Mini, but used it on my old Marvel. I'm satisfied with TWRP for the Mini.
greetings

Yes, thanks. I know the commands should work...but that's the trouble..they don't!
I can get into the recovery menu...HBOOT /FASTBOOT / RECOVERY and so on, but selecting "RECOVERY" simply sends me back to HBOOT menu.
I can't flash anything under FASTBOOT, either. I've been doing this sort of thing for several years without trouble....until now!
So come on chaps..thinking caps on , please.

Use the command - fastboot erase cache.

Thanks for help all round.
The RUU wouldn't run: it reported an unknown error, but having done so, it must have done something, as when I rebooted, I had access to recovery once again...briefly! Then it went again.
Anyway, I re locked / unlocked , locked a few times, and hey presto, it's sprung back into life!

what command did you run to flash twrp? "fastboot flash recovery <twrpfilename>.img" if you ran "fastboot flash boot <twrpfilename>.img" then you need to run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to allow you to boot again then run the correct command "fastboot flash recovery <twrpfilename>.img" to flash recovery.
i used the hasoon 2000 aio kit if that means anything
thanks for your quick reply though
So is it just chilling at twrp curtain pull down? Can you navigate through twrp?
i can navigate through twrp but thats all i can do and i am lost now

i think recovery is flashed where boot is supposed to be, you need to flash boot.img from fastboot.
Reflash everything manually reflash recovery reflash boot.I'mg
i am new to this stuff so please be patient with me
how do i reflash manually
thanks
look at my first post and this post for the files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38217541&postcount=297
ok sorry but im confused i tried to reflash but i get nothing to happen its the same as before stuck on teamwin screen
so you confirmed flashing in fastboot recovery to recovery and boot to boot? if so, i would just fastboot oem lock then run ruu and start over without the kit this time. all you need to do afterwards is use ur token to reunlock, flash recovery in fastboot then copy rom to sdcard and flash, if you get booted into sense somehow turn off fast boot in power and turn on usb debugging in developer options then issue adb reboot bootoader or adb reboot recovery depending on where you are trying to go.
i dont have the ruu for rogers 3.17 though any idea where i can find this
thanks for your patience so far
hi guys i really hate to be such a pain but i need my phone back can anyone give me a idiots guide to getting it back working again i am still stuck at the teamwin screen or the fastboot screen cant go anywhere else
thanks in advance guys

Hmm. so you probably need to flash a recovery first.
then you will be able to use the recovery to mount usb and put a new rom on your "sd card"
Then you can flash the rom on your new recovery and don't forget to fastboot flash the boot.img.
edit: the all in one toolkit is great for things like this. It will put a new recovery on your phone with just a click of the button.

I just edited my original post. just in case you didn't know how. I guess I was a little slow.
Also I can't remember if a bootloader factory reset relocked your phone but you might want to check that too. up on top it would say locked or relocked. If it still says unlocked you don't have to do that step again. Like you did when you first rooted the phone.
(all in one tool kit is great for unlocking and relocking too) just put a copy of that bin file in all in one tool kit (data file i believe, but it says what to do in that thread)

Your phone is an s3?
My phone is an S4 as are I would guess the majority of users. I think the s3 is the international version. If you are on T mobile then it's a s4.
Ok,,,
so .... if your phone is an s3 version then you will have to check that the Rom you download is specific for your phone as most of the Roms on this site are for the s4 version.
you need to go to your recovery. press the volume down button and hold it. Then press the power button (don't hold it). That will get you to recovery.
when in twrp recovery you will see a mounts button. hit that then the next screen will have mount usb. then you will be able to move a rom you downloaded on your computer to your phone.
then you can install the rom zip in twrp.
then from your computer, I assume you know how to flash a boot.img
put a boot.img in your fastboot folder, open up a comand prompt.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if you wanted a different recovery than you are using, find the download the recovery. *I would rename the recovery to recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(I only mention a different recovery because in some of the Rom threads you might read that you can only install a particular rom with an older version of twrp.)
I'm not sure of your skill or experience with all of this. If you are very new to it (then you are probably really frustrated) have no fear there is a little bit to learn but not that much. Just keep reading the development thread and the guides in it.

do you have your box the phone came in?
Z520e is S4
Z560e is S3
So were you able to put twrp on your phone? when you are in boot loader and click on the recovery does it take you to twrp? Yes the all in one toolkit will flash a recovery for you. but you have your boot loader unlocked first.

thanks for all the help starting to feel i might win lol
in twrp when you press "mounts" then press "mount usb", does your computer finally see your phone?
I was looking at your first post, you say that you rooted and flashed your phone. What do you mean by that? Did you download a ROM and attempt to flash it? Or did you "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
If you are able to access your phone via computer it is as simple as downloading a rom on your computer moving it to your phone then in twrp "install from zip". Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

how to flash fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
if you are just fed up and want your phone back to stock then you will need to run an RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
To run a RUU you would need to relock your bootloader.
in console type "fastboot lock oem" or use your all in one toolkit to relock it.
if that fails you will need to put your stock recovery back. (you need to have boot loader unlocked to do this)
on the clockworkmod recovery page the stock recovery is the second download link.

[Q] Boot Loop after touch screen change

Hi all,
I'm new on this forum, it's my first time here.
I have a problem with my son HTC ONE SV.
He has broken the touch screen, than I have find a complete replace touch screen in England for 45€, so I was happy because the assistence ask me 150 € and more for change the screen.
I have replace the Screen and I was very happy when I finish to assemble the phone and It's starts... but.... the Phone goes into a Boot Loop.
With volume down+ on button I can Enter into service menù and I have installa on my PC HTC driver, so when I attach the Phone to USB cabel from Fastboot I see "fastboot USB" on screen.
I have try to to a Factory Reset but nothig happen, the phone at every start goes into a Boot Loop.
I Have try to change back the original Screen (broken) and it's Boot loop also with the original screen (so I think the new screen is ok)
So the Phone is not Rooted and it's into original conditions with original Firmware branded TIM (Italy operator).
I have try to find some information about the possibility to flash the original Firmware or if possible a cutom Firmware, but I have found only information about Stok firmware or similar, and for this option I must have the Phone Rooted, S-OFF, unloked.
But my phone was not rooted or in s-off mode or unloked, or set into Debugmode from Settings (now is in boot loop and I can't acces to the settings menù).
Can someone help me with this problem?
I need only to do a factory reset with original firmware, or , if possible in this condition, install a custom firmware.
There is the possibility to flash original firmware (I have 2 HTC ONE SV, other 2 son where I could extract the original firmware if necessary)
Many thanx to all.
Massimo from Italy
Never had to do such things. But the only thing you can do is, unlock your device with htcdev.com, use custom (TWRP) recovery and flash back a backup or a stock rom.
Is your phone k2u or k2ul?
many thanx

It seems, something else/more is broken on your phone, because as you are unlocked and flashing shows fine, you should be able to enter.

Did you change the touchscreen only or the lcd along with the touchscreen as well? If you followed everything with how to flash recovery and firmware, maybe there is some mismatch with your screen assembly and the phone software. Some phones come with different revisions for the lcd screens. Maybe that is the problem. But I am not sure about One SV different LCD revs.
Before I was using galaxy wonder and it had three diffrent LCD revisions and one of them exhibited a bug with the Cyanogen OS where as the others did not.
I would take the phone to the shop where you got the touchscreen and ask them for help.

HTC One S C2 Help Please

Hi, i want to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 to my phone, but i did wrong. Now my phone doesn't power up. i can enter bootloader mode, there isn't a problem with it. what can i do now please help...
And there is my bootloader screen.
Now i relocked. i'll try to install original ruu.
help please, i can't find acceptable Ruu for my version
I'd suggest starting from the beginning by going into fastboot mode and wiping system and boot and then fastboot flash the CM boot.img and recovery.img. If you can get into a recovery then you should be able to mount USB storage, push across a zip for CM10 that will work and then flash it.

When I soft-bricked mine, I couldn't find any RUU that would work, so I just thought I'd try and give you a different route. You should be able to get into fastboot mode if you can get into the bootloader? If you unlock the bootloader again, you can cycle through the bootloader options with the volume keys and select with the power button. If you select fastboot, or see "fastboot" highlighted, you can connect the phone to your computer and issue fastboot commands. If you've never done that before, I could give you a quick tutorial on how to, as I know it will definitely work whilst RUU's can be hard to find... Good luck though!!

i really need help when i unlock the bootloader again, what's the next move? i haven't installed rom before from computer.
i solved my problem :good::good:

Stuck on boot screen

I may have bricked, want to know what went wrong and if it's permanent. Thanks, here's how it happened.
I was running one of the Omnirom nightly builds. I got a notification saying there was a new build, I decided to try it hoping it would improve my battery life. I had TWRP installed so I thought it would be ok (I chose to let it update automatically which I guess was my mistake). It did the update or tried to at least, but when it tried to boot it just gets stuck on the Asus screen. The one with the loading bar. Volume up or down with power button does nothing but get back to the same screen. Reset (using a pin) and volume up or down does the same thing. I thought the only way to permanently boot was doing the wipe option on the recovery menu, but maybe I am wrong. Is it possible to permanently brick doing what I did? Thanks. Any possible solutions?

Unlikely. What always works, if you can put it into fastboot, is install the Asus stock ROM. That will reformat/reinstall every partition.

That's holding the reset button down plus volume down right? Doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for the Reply
No, it just gets me back to the same screen. This is supposed to get me to the recovery menu right?
If it matters,my bootloader is unlocked.

Well there is not much that can be done then.....
No fastboot with a locked bootloader .....
No bootloader to boot into recoovery .....
No nvflash blobs with a locked bootloader ..
Short of a motherboard you have a paperweight .....
Sorry for the back news ......

Hello
Hi
I had basically the same situation of this topic, the only i can access to fastboot.
I formated all my tablet, basically is nothing in the memory
when i tried to access over the recovery, is stuck, only blink.
Fastboot commands works but i dont know how i can recover all.
I know i need to install everything.
Can someone let me know what i can install (Kernel, firmware, rom(I want lollipop).
I had already TWRP 2.8.0
Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked, unless I am misunderstanding what you're saying. On the Asus screen it says this device is unlocked. Not sure why I can't access any of the options though, unless my volume buttons is busted or something.

First step: Install new TWRP
1. Download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t; I would advise v. 2.8.4.0
2. Put 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob' in fastboot folder of pc and rename to twrp.blob for faster typing.
3. Put tab in fasboot mode and connect.
4. Use command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob[enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot[enter]
5. Let tab reboot to OS (will stay on ASUS screen, because you don't have OS as of now).
6. Reboot to bootloader screen and go to recovery (RCK); now you can flash any custom ROM you like.
Good luck!

No! Recovery comes way after fastboot mode. Recovery is loaded from your memory card. But something went wrong with your memory card, so you can't load that.
Once you booted your tablet into fastboot, type :"fastboot devices" on your PC. If it shows your tablet, you can easily flash a new ROM.
