Hey guys,
My phone data:
HTC Sensation XE
Unlocked
HBOOT-1.29.0000
S-ON
I installed the ARHD ROM yesterday and then installed the Turbo Boost on three partitions. Today I wanted to switch to some 4.4.2 ROM and I flashed the boot.img of it by this command:
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I wanted to install the ROM and I found out that I can't get into the CWM Recovery... The bootloader works, the phone boots into the ROM but just the recovery isn't working... ;-/
What have I done wrong? What should I do now? I've tried flashing the boot.img via fastboot - no result, factory reset - no result, programs on the store to boot into recovery - no result. Should I reinstall the Recovery? How? I've got a nand backup but can't install it without recovery mode. Tried doing it via fastboot but can't find the system.img ;/
Waiting for ur replies
Ariel
yeah, try to reinstall recovery or better install 4ext recovery app and flash via the app the newest 4ext recovery that works with all rom! here link http://4ext.net/

I9023 cannot boot recovery after upgrade to ics
Are you rooted??? If yes, you can use rom manager to reflash CWM, other options is to fastboot flash recovery from your computer... Because probably what happened is that you use a stock rom to update and recovery went back to stock, and if nothing of this works please provide more details...

ICS default recovery is not work, you should flash it by youself
use adb
if you can connect thru adb and assuming that you have a valid recovery you can use the following:
"adb reboot recovery"
that should get you to recovery afik this will work with stock or cwm recovery.
If you don't have a valid recovery you will have to flash one (possibly thru adb if you can't get it going any other way)
Cheers

Im kinda outta the know, but i see a few Rogers guys that cant root since the 1.94( i think) update but can unlock thru htcdev. Some of you guys are having trouble getting a flashed recovery to stick, so you cant get a rooted rom flashed. Well, there is a VERY simple solution for you guys.
You have your recovery.img in your adb/fastboot folder and your in your device bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Ya ya, you tried that, But Wait!
Now
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
That WILL boot you into your custom recovery. Now u can nandroid and flash your rooted rom. Once booted up, go download goomanager and install recovery from there. That one WILL stick.
If you ever temporarily need to use the stock recovery, simply put the stockrecovery.img into your adb/fastboot folder and just do
fastboot boot stockrecovery.img
do whatever, after you reboot you will still have your custom recovery, since all you did was boot the stock recovery, not flash it. Also works vice versa
Added:
if you boot a cwm recovery at first steps, after installing recovery thru goomanager go make a new nandroid because twrp wont restore a cwm backup.
Hope this helps out a little:beer:

You need to flash boot.img everytime that you flash a new rom.
1. Extract boot.img from the ROM you want.
2. boot into recovery, select fast boot
3. In command line type: fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter] (in folder where you installed fastboot)
thats it!
should we flash the rom afterwards

flash the rom and then do what i say
where are boot images located in the roms - couldnt find them
Which rom are you trying? Normally there is in root of zip
can i fastboot flash a rom or other zip? i've run into a problem after flashing a rom that wont boot and twrp wont mount data or my internal storage so i cant flash anything else. any help would be appretiated
I dont know how to do it, but have heard you can use the sideload feature of the twrp recovery to flash a rom. Or you could try flashing the new twrp recovery if your not on the new one. The new twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery was released on 9-30-14 last I checked its not updated on xda yet but you can get it on the twrp recovery web site which its on the link below, its the newest one on the bottom of the list.

worse case scenario, run the RUU, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then install ROM in recovery.
Honestly, you might as well apply the whole RUU and get yourself back to a working stock before putting another custom ROM back on. Follow the OP in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2873144
I tried every method possible and none worked, I recently cracked my screen so I just took this as a sign and went ahead and got it replaced with insurance. Thanks for all the suggestions
did your recovery constantly reboot into a white htc screen ?

Are you using the correct Vzw version of twrp or cwm?
Hi
I have been using MIUI custom ROMs for quite some time.
I am using 4EXT Recovery Touch with SMARTFlash ON and my device is not S-OFF
Yesterday I installed the latest version (full ROM) and these are the steps I followed.
1. clear dalvik+cache
2. format all partitions (except sd card)
3. installed new ROM
4. Reboot
Now it is stuck at the white HTC logo screen and is not moving past that screen.
Then I tried to reinstall the previous version of the ROM which was working on my mobile that dint help either.
Also later I tried to restore my existing backup by clearing the dalvik+cache, formatting all partitions and then restored. This also dint help..still stuck at the htc logo screen.
Can you please help.
Thanks

i think you need to update your 4ext recovery version
also try to flash the boot.img via fastboot command
I am not sure, but for fastboot to work we need to have the USB debugging options working isnt it? Since I flashed the ROM now. I am not sure if fastboot would recognize my phone. As I said I am not sure, I will try it out and let you know. Thanks for the help

post the output from this command
fastboot getvar all

Sorry for the late reply.
It worked out.
After flashing boot.img, restored backup and installed the new verision again and it worked fine. This time I did not do a full wife.
Thanks
