Update - 2/21/2011
If you have bricked an HTC EVO this will likely NOT work for you and this is the wrong info to be reading. I have gotten a few emails from this link about EVO 110 errors.
12/26/2010 - This thread is super old now:
If you ran the 1.56 RUU and your phone no longer turns on visit htc.com, go to support, choose Hero (Sprint) and download the 2.1 system update.
Remove battery from your phone and start it up again, then run the exe file that you just downloaded -
http://member.america.htc.com/downlo...2.27.651.6.exe
------All the info below is kept for reference -------
(As of 3/31/2010 - I am 10 for 10 for getting these back and working!! 3/3 of going back to 100% stock)
Edit: I have no longer kept track... its been over a month and I know personally I've done about 15 more of these... with about half being return to stock.
If you need to contact me, PLEASE EMAIL instead of using private messages, it'll probably turn into a google talk chat anyways, so add me on there, [email protected] (Its just easier than having to log in here and reply to private messages, since I get emails on the go as well.)
So you just ran the 1.56 RUU and got a 110 error. Now your screen turns on and stays black and if you plug the phone into USB you see the HTC logo. Unplug it and see the RUU menu.
Like you, I decided to attempt to roll back using the RUU 1.56. I was hit with the 110 error, and nothing but fastboot would work, I was able to launch ./fastboot-mac oem boot to get into the system.
I tried ./fastboot-mac boot image/bootname.img and a billion other things like everyone else who is having the issue, but just like them I had no success. In the second post below are the steps to resolve this issue. This will either take you to your first Nandroid backup or to whatever ROM you choose to flash once you get recovery back. I have not found a way to get back to 100% stock, but at least your phone wont be a brick.
EDIT:As of 3/30/2010 @ 8:30 PM I was able to get my phone completely 100% to stock. I was able to do this by retrieving a Nandroid restore from someone who used flashrec to make their initial backup. This restore does not touch the recovery image but I was able to boot into my recovery then write the HTC recovery back on top of it. I now have 100% un-rooted phone. See Post number 2 for the right way to do this.?
I've helped a few people over log me in now.
I'm willing to continue doing this but it is cutting into my family time, I will do this for a "respectable" amount of money.
Feel like I've helped you??
Buy me some coffee!
(Zip attached includes fix and stock folders. Use the fix folder FIRST to get completely booted. You can use the stock folder if you want to get 100% stock after you have a running unrooted system but have RA recovery.)
Steps to resolve:
(You SHOULD have a Nandroid backup of some sort, if not download a ROM... Fresh1.1??)
1) Boot the phone to black screen
2) Plug phone into PC/MAC - The HTC logo should appear at this point
---- If you've been doing anything else, rerun the RUU and let it fail and reboot to the HTC logo.
3) PC - fastboot oem boot | MAC - ./fastboot oem boot
(Make sure you turn on USB Debugging under Settings --> Applications --> Developer)
4) Root your phone using asroot2
Code:
adb push asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
adb shell
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4775 su
5) This is where your Nandroid backup comes into play.
(Browse to your nandroid folder, find your first backup and copy all of the .img files except system and cache to your SD card root directory)
NOTE: At this point you should dismount the SD card if you mounted inside of Android OS(Sense/Launcher)
6) run adb shell (PC - adb shell | Mac - ./adb shell)
7) type su
8) Run the following commands (if you get out of memory errors, type su again and try once more)
NOTE: Do not copy the "#"'s in the commands, the # just means you are running as SU, as opposed to the "$"
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
# flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img
9) now... type reboot recovery
This time you should get your recovery menu, should have been RA or whatever you used... from there I did a complete nandroid restore and my system booted.
Also, after I did this I did try to let it boot without doing a recovery and it wouldnt go anywhere... but I'm fairly impatient... it may have wanted to load. I figured it best to do an entire Nandroid restore though.
-------------------------------------------------------------
100% Stock Configuration Work Around
-------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Rooted Nandroid Backup:
nandroid.7z
I was able to get my phone completely 100% to stock. I was able to do this by retrieving a Nandroid restore from someone who used flashrec to make their initial backup. This restore does not touch the recovery image but I was able to boot into my recovery then write the HTC recovery back on top of it. I now have 100% un-rooted phone. I'm not sure how to go about posting a 127MB file, what do you think it the best place?
After restoring the Nandroid backup I tried this:
Code:
Dustan-Bonneys-MacBook:tools dustanbonney$ ./adb shell
$ su
su: permission denied
Then I rebooted to recovery (I used RA 1.5.2)
Code:
Dustan-Bonneys-MacBook:tools dustanbonney$ ./adb remount
remount succeeded
Dustan-Bonneys-MacBook:tools dustanbonney$ ./adb shell
/ # mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory
/ # cd /sdcard
/sdcard # flash_image recovery /sdcard/Stock/recovery.img
flashing recovery from /sdcard/Stock/recovery.img
/sdcard # reboot recovery
I was booted to the Triangle and exclamation mark... I pulled the battery and booted up normally.
Stock Kernel - 2.6.27-533ce29d [email protected] )
Stock Build - 1.56.651.2 CL85027 release-keys
Other things that should be mentioned:
If you used RA 1.6.2 - I was unable to get my boot.img or the stock boot.img from the RUU's rom.zip to flash back to the recovery partition. I had to use the RA 1.6.2.img and "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoverynamegoeshere.img"
It seems that if you've flashed the radio update, the RUU does not write the radio back successfully. Others have had issues going back to the stock radio using the upgrade.zip option as well.
I attempted to use the boot.img, recovery.img, from the RUU's rom.zip with no success. I might try it again. I was able to get to stock recovery (Triangle and exclamation) and to the Hboot menu... but from hboot I had to run the RUU and rebrick the device cause I couldnt get anything at that point, even fastboot oem boot wouldnt load.
There have been times when I get weird issues writing the flash recovery, boot, or misc and when you reboot and load "fastboot oem boot" it wont look like it goes anywhere.... check "adb devices" and your device should be listed. From there do an "adb remount" and then "adb shell" and reflash once more and then "reboot recovery".
If all else fails, I'm available for a small fee.

Wow! If you've fixed this, I think you're everyone's hero now. We won't have to worry about using the RUU now
I was going to try something similar to this today, but i was unable to brick my phone using the 1.56.651.2 RUU. I was running Flipz updated radio and DamageControl v2.0r2.. The RUU completed successfully..
I was reading over the forum post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645002 and i read that you could boot the system using the command 'fastboot oem boot' I was going to try to use FlashRec to do the work of Flashing the recovery, then booting into recovery and use nandroid.. but you beat me to it! Good work!
I attempted flashing a new recovery image this way with no avail... I also attempted only
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and still was unable to boot the phone into recovery. I think it had to have been something with doing boot.img and recovery.img at the same time... I dont know what the misc.img does and I'm assuming data.img is userdata... but I did them all and then it worked...
Other users also tried flashrec and with no success... right track though.

Trying this right now.
So far, am getting lots of "mtd: write error" and "mtd: re-read error" Out of memory errors for flashing the recovery image. Guess I'll give this some time, and try to su again and reflash? Or should I kill it as soon as the Out of memory errors pop up and try again?
If you get errors like...
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery .........
(out of memory... etc)
Then...
just su again... so you really su twice
its what I had to do.

Trying it a second time, and so far am getting a bunch of Out of memory errors. After the first one "finished," I did as you recommended and typed "su" a second time, and then typed the "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" command.
So far, looks like it's giving the same errors the second time around.
This second attempt, it ended with "error writing recovery: No space left on device."
Just to be sure, I checked the SD card, and that has over 1 GB of free space.
If you're willing to allow something like logmein.com or some way for me to remote assist you, I would like to try. [email protected] if you're in.

We ended up just needing to run
Code:
adb shell
reboot
fastboot oem boot
adb shell
su
//flash commands here
that seemed to do it. so make sure if you're having issues to restart the device and try again!
Edit: Also, we didnt get data.img to work so we only did boot, recovery, and misc.img's
Hi everybody,
I upgraded to Lollipop using the original image. Everything was fine. No problem of any kind. Then I decided to flash the TWRP recovery. At the first run (just after installation) it was there and worked fine (I even made a backup). However, after a reboot when I went to the recovery I found that it was the stock recovery and TWRP was gone. The back up is also gone from my internal storage. The same thing happened when I flashed the latest version of CWM. After a reboot the flashed recovery is gone.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

well, if you used boot instead of flash, itll only boot the recovery for a one time use. flash should make it stick. if not sticking, flash a recovery 2 or 3 times, itll stick eventually.

Thank you, I will try that and then report...
Do you have the latest version of the recovery and the root files?
I used CF Root as Chainfire is the man. I ran it first, then I added the recovery.
It stuck for me.
Remove the scripts etc that install recovery such as inatall-recovery.sh and recovery.boot.p in system and system/bin
Just double check your install-recovery.sh isn't one used to call su because you don't want to remove that if it is.

I flashed ( flash .img ) the recovery 2 or 3 times (even more) but it won't stick. If I do not reboot to system it remains there but as soon as I reboot to system it is gone.

you want to find and rename or delete install-recovery.sh in /system/. thats whats replacing your recovery with stock.

I actually tried that, but had the following problem:
Code:
sudo adb shell mv /system/bin/install-recovery.sh{,.bak}
mv: rename /system/bin/install-recovery.sh to /system/bin/install-recovery.sh.bak: Read-only file system
Do you have an idea how I can come around this issue?

From my understanding you need root to be able to edit files in /system. And in there is the script that "misbehaves" for us.
But I've not quite understood how to come by the read only file system problem

Does it mean that lollipop behaves differently from KitKat? I could have recovery without root there. It stuck at the first flash. But now it is removed every time I boot to the system.
I've ran into the same problem except for me I'm not even getting stock recovery. I don't even have one lol
Okay guys so I figured out how to get it to work (and the recovery to stick!)
First of all, get root. CF Auto root is your friend here.
Now to the problem: The recovery seems to be "reflashed" at every boot. (with an "empty" recovery).
To fix it, boot your phone up and connect it to a pc that has adb installed.
remember to not use sudo under windows, just keep that part out
Code:
sudo adb shell
Now you are on a shell in your android. Since /system is mounted readonly, we first have to remount it:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
now change the install script (I just added a .bak to the name so we do not have to delete it) and remount the filesystem and read only again:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # mv /system/bin/install-recovery.sh{,.bak}
[email protected]:/ # mount -o ro,remount /system
Finally flash the recovery as you are used to, it will now stick:
Code:
sudo adb reboot-bootloader
sudo fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-hammerhead.img
sudo fastboot reboot
From here on, you are back in android and your recovery should have sticked
Maybe you should go to system and find a file like this
recover --from--boot
then delete it
Alright, well the above solution definitely helped, but now when i try to enter super su, it tells me the binaries arent updated and the root needs to be done manually.....but didnt i just do this?

You can have a recovery without root. Also root is only "in" android. If your recovery has a file manager, it can edit /system files without root because android isn't running lg, ergo no protection. Its just like taking a hard drive out of a computer and adding it as a 2nd in another computer. You don't need that computers password to get the data.
So flash the ROM and see if you can delete them using the recovery file manager or adb whilst booted into recovery

This was all unnecessary.
boot recovery
Flash ROM
mount system
adb shell
rm /system/blah
That was all.
Re
I had the same problem yesterday except that i was intending to install both root and TWRP recovery. I flashed TWRP and ran it then installed supersu, the root did not work and TWRP was gone after rebooting the system.
I used the "cf auto root" utility made by chainfire. It worked (even though the root has few bugs)
I noticed that cf-auto-root flashed some boot img before installing root and twrp. I think you may want to give it a look.

This is what I did:
Boot to recovery-->
Flashing TWRP img-->
Then immediately going to TWRP file manager-->
Changing install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.old -->
Then immediately made a backup --> reboot to system, turning the cellphone on and off several times
TWRP is there BUT:
The only point is that I cannot see the backup folder in my internal storage. It is clear that it has taken some
space (almost 2GB) but I cannot see the TWRP backup folder.
Hi, first of all sorry for my english.
I'm S-off, rooted, using TWRP touch and android 5.0 (from ivanich).
I went out of memory on my internal storage, so I had a pop-up that says lower your storage (my sd card couldn't be mounted). Then i went in recovery to wipe cache and data for it would free some space, but I got theses issue:
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: No such device
unmount of /data failed; no such volume
script succeeded: result was [0,200000]
updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/data'
...done
I also tried by advanced wipe> wipe Data and I went stuck on this :
"Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function"
If i try to reboot on the rom it's bootloop
I tried a few command in the terminal command that I've found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2683787
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
I get this :
filesystem too small for a journal
writing superblocks and lifesystem accounting information : done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 37 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
So I have no idea how to fix this I never had this error before and I can't find anything about it, only Odin but correct me if I'm wrong but Odin doesn't work for Sensation ?
Thanks for any help I appreciate
you are facing probably the same issue with others that faced with twrp
those partitions corrupted after using the wipe options
the only thing i can suggest you is to use this solution

So yeah, i've try so many things, and none of them is fixing my problem.
First i've installed 4ext recovery and i had still the same issue, not able to wipe cache or data or factory reset.
I've tried to install adb but it doesn't recognize my phone, even with SDK tools, i can't tell the program what my phone is.
now i've tried to install the RUU (dl the .exe, found the rom.zip, and put on my phone renamed it "PG58IMG.zip" now when i'm on the fastboot it loads the file and then it get stuck at the userdata part....
If i try to boot the normal way i get the black screen with the red triangle and exclamation mark ....
I'm going to keep looking but it's getting harder than expected
(still sorry for my english)

Hmm thanks for this info, I will try to do again all this but on an other computer tomorrow maybe it will work... I hope!
So after hours of trying to repair it, it still doesn't work.
But i've found something that might be intersting.
In recovery 4ext but now I'm twrp so I don't have the exact information again but when I went in storage information, it was written that the internal storage was --mb, and --mb free, so I guess it means that my partition doesn't exist anymore.. Anyway I've found that I'm not the only one with this but I still didn't find any solution to fix it..

I decided to try TWRP yesterday and Im having a similar issue. However when i flash roms I have no issues at all. However i get stuck at the HTC logo forever when i try and boot. I have manually flashed boot.img so that isnt the issue. I even tried doing some mkfs.ext4 executions and i still have the same issue. Im going back to my E63 to see if i can still repair this. However looks like another device is looking likely.
Can anyone tell me if you can run some error logs for when the device is in the boot stage, and by that i mean when the HTC logo so showing? I dont think ADB will work in that mode.
When you try to mount data from recovery does it fail?
Can you tell me which twrp your using? I mean which r stands at the end of the filename?

What do you mean "some mkfs.ext4 executions" ? I wanted to try that but I couldn't find how to do it, I tried in ADB it didn't work & terminal from twrp neither maybe I didn't type correctly.
I'll suggest you to re flash it, or wipe & flash. (but it's not the point of my thread tho ...)

What do you mean "some mkfs.ext4 executions" ? I wanted to try that but I couldn't find how to do it, I tried in ADB it didn't work & terminal from twrp neither maybe I didn't type correctly.
I'll suggest you to re flash it, or wipe & flash. (but it's not the point of my thread tho ...)

Where did you download that image?
That sounds like you just experienced the brick bug.

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/pyramid from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/66 the recovery img method.
Well I'm not sure because It booted the rom (cm12 from ivanich) but yeah bootloop on the CM logo

I'm sorry to say, but that's definitely the brick bug. Only the link rzr86 posted might help you using your phone. Ivanich made twrp builds, which use his kernel and device trees, so we're pretty sure his twrp is not affected by that bug (that just as an info for anyone using the twrp from the official site. So if anyone reads this and is using twrp newer than 2.6 from official site, get ivanich's build).
The problem is that your data partition is corrupt, not the system partition. But you need the data partition, to use any rom, which is now not mountable anymore. So your able to flash roms and get until bootanimation, but without data partition working it won't boot.
@little_lerroyy did you use ivanich's twrp or the one from official site too?

So you're saying that TWRP didn't do their job good enough and bricked my phone ? =/ that's pretty sad
thanks for the info tho but maybe there is a way to re create the data partition, since I think I'm not the only one who has this issue

The problem is not caused by twrp, but the faulty device/kernel trees which were used for that image. Unfortunately nobody knows who built these images, nor do we know which sources were used.
I had that too, I know that sucks.

You can still try to mount your sdcard as data partition, as explained in the link posted on page 1, it seems to work for some.

Connect phone to pc, boot into recovery, open terminal and type 'adb devices', your device should show.
To try mount data enter 'adb shell mount /data'.
To check structure enter 'adb shell /sbin/e2fsck -n -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p23'.
Maybe this could help?

Well I'll give it a try when I can work on an other computer because I also have an issue with windows 8.1, it doesn't recognize my phone, so I can't use adb to work with the phone. It worked on windows 7 on an other computer but I can't use it for now.. Thanks anyway I'll keep you in touch

Follow this link, the process is done in ADB
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html
Just make sure where it says "mmcblk0p37" in step number 10, you put in "mmcblk0p23" which is your data partition, but i doubt you will have much access doing this.

Thanks but as I said, I can't use ADB on my computer. I'll still try when I can use an other one !
Hey everyone, I have this very strange issue
The other day I made a nandroid backup because I wanted to mess around with some stuff I wasn't sure was going to work. I then restored the backup, and tada, bootloop. I was stuck on the boot animation. Tried a deleting data/dalvik/cache from recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7), installing rom again, but nothing worked.
Now, what I did may or may not have been smart. I wiped everything using "wipe userdata" in the adb shell. Everything gone. Now I want to put on a working rom again, but I can't. Two problems:
1. My CWM recovery is doing this . Not only when I boot into it trough bootloader, but, maybe this is because I don't have a working rom, it also seems to go into it after my bootloop attempts to boot twice, as seen here.
I have no idea what's happening and why and how. It just keeps flashing like this and I can't access the menu. I tried reflashing, flashing the touch version, flashing TWRP which doesn't have default adb access, and flashing it once again but same result. So I can't choose a rom to flash. How do I fix this?
2. I can still push files to /data/media/ and /sdcard/, but after that I have no way to install them. No tutorial I found seemed to work, e.g this one from xda says I have to mount /data/ but when I do that I get
> C:\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # mount data
mount data
mount: mounting /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata on /data failed:
Invalid argument
And I've also done this one which states the rom should install, but it doesn't. The cd and push are successful, but I can't do anything with it. I also think my /sdcard/ got unmounted at some point, but I was able to push a file to it so not sure here.
Does anyone know how to fix this. I have no idea what to do, pretty hopeless at this point. Thanks so so much if you have any tips
-Josh

Hi. This is my first post and I hope I didn't have to post in some other section just for present myself, since I'm doing it now.
Anyway, I tried to flash a new rom since my HTC Sensation (no 4g nor XE) was totally stucked. I even installed the minimum software that I needed, and the result was a phone that could barely make calls.
So I did a backup of all my datas, then proceeded to a factory reset.
After that I followed the procedure on the htcdev website to unlock the bootloader and everything went smooth.
The first problem happened when, following a video explanation of a french guy that didn't say that I needed a wire, I had to improvise with what I could find at a late time in the night, and it was some iron wire insulated with some paper. At first the phone reeboted but not like I needed, and the following tries were totally useless so I used that software called rumrunner that claims to do be able to turn S-OFF without the wire trick.
I don't really know if it worked or not: I have S-OFF but during the process in the cmd there was "WTF: what are you doing" and "process stopped" even if I didn't touch anything.
Anyway, let's assume that I have S-OFF:
I then tried to flash the recovery 4-EXT using a software called like "Sensation_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1". I didn't noticed any significant change, nor the other functions were working properly since everything said "phone not found". So I used cmd and flashed "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid" and it worked flawlessy.
Then I rooted the phone using the recovery and installing from the sdcard the file "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed".
Then I downloaded cm12.1 by ivanich and installed it, but I forgot to do a backup before that and when I turned on the phone, nothing was loading. It was a black screen with the superior bar. The touch was not working, the on/off button the same. So I reopened the recovery, wiped out the data and cache to factory reset, and did again the SU and custom SO install.
Now the phone boots but it's again the factory reset version, not the one that I installed. I see that from all the bloatware still there. Also, its version is wrong. It's android 4.0.3, while there wasn't that version when it was produced.
I need help.
edit: I found out that when I try to install the rom I get only errors saying :
[the first part is missing since I can't scroll up]
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system: no such file or directory
unmount of /system failed; no such volume
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: no such device
unmount of /data failed; no such volume

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system: no such file or directory
unmount of /system failed; no such volume
script succeded: result was [0.200000]
Install from sdcard complete.
FINAL EDIT:
I searched in many places for help. I found the man in a IRC chat. Seems that I had to change the recovery app and install twrp. Then it worked flawlessy.

you just had a very old version of recovery
i assume that guy gave you the proper twrp because there is a false one which messes up with emmc after using wipe option
