[Q] Odd CWM bootloop

Hey guys, I installed CWM on my buddies HTC one S (ville) and I keep getting a weird problem with CWM. I have successfully flashed CM10 multiple times and have made only one back up. Every time his phone dies and he plugs it in and tries to power it on it boots straight to recovery and after you press reboot phone it boots right back to recovery again and again... The only way it fixes itself is when you restore the back up and then it sets him back to that date. I'm wondering if this is a problem with CWM or something else... I'm new to HTC devices because I have always been on the Galaxy line from Samsung so some of this is a little new to me...
Thanks in advance!!

This is a known glitch with CWM. If you plug it in when its off and try to turn it on, it'll automatically Boot into CWM Recovery. I prefer TWRP personally, had too many problems with CWM and getting into the same exact pain-in-the-neck Bootloop as you're referring to.
As far as I am aware, there isn't a way to get out of the CWM Bootloop unless you just let the phone run out of Battery, get into the Bootloader (Which is somewhat of a challenge with the CWM Bootloop), and then flash a different Recovery from Fastboot. Correct me if i'm wrong on there not being any other way around this.

It's happened to me once, I flashed the.stock boot.img and it worked fine.after that. Not sure if its a fix but it got me outta of it.

Thanks guys I think I'll try TWRP but just to check does CM10 work with TWRP and if so how do I flash a new recovery?

yes cm10 worx with twrp. For flashing recovery, download d appropriate recovery.img for ur device. place this in the fastboot folder or the platform-tools folder.
now, boot into bootloader and enter fastboot then connect phone to PC , it should say fastboot USB .
Now open a command window and use this command---
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img.

Cyanogenmod 10 does indeed work with TWRP as far as I know. Along with mihirengg19's Reply above, there is also an Alternative way to flashing a new Recovery, and that is to use the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit. Its the easiest/safest way, if you don't know what you're doing.

yes toolkit is great but manually is best...

[Q] Phone won't boot to recovery

Today I wanted to flash a CM12 lollipop ROM
I unlocked the bootloader with succes, adb commands said that the recovery .img was flashed okay!,
So i got the following issue,
My oneplus one won't boot in to recovery, or is stuck at the Oneplus logo, or the 1+ logo just disappears and the screen goes crazy with green and blue lines... and i see weird things on screen. a normal boot and fastboot is fine everything is just ok, but not recovery,
I tried TWRP, PHILZ TOUCH,CWM, even to stock CM recovery doesn't flash anymore
i did many tutorials and followed step by step im sure thats not the problem.
I tried with the oneplus one toolbox and command window but nothing
Need help!

Hi, maybe your recovery images are corrupt. Had that once, thought I was going crazy. Redownload, compare md5 sums (I know it sucks...), perhaps use a different browser to download, then flash again. Good luck!

[Resolved] Pico Stuck at TeamWin Recovery Screen

Hey,
My Htc pico has been stuck on teamwin (TWRP) recovery splash screen. I messed up
What causes this ?
I have installed Latest TWRP 3.0.2 from TWRP website.
What Other issues ?
- Volume Down button broken
- Cannot boot to fastboot mode, when i connect the phone from pc it automatically boots the TWRP (broken) recovery and hangs on teamwin splash screen
What i tried ?
I tried booting it to bootloader mode from pc by entering adb reboot bootloader. DIDNT WORKED.
I tried making a bootable TWRP recovery but its not working. Followed this guide http://androidforums.com/threads/gu...d-or-twrp-bootable-sd-card-06-04-2013.327798/
Can anybody provide me with a solution
Issue Resolved:
Update: Keep sending adb reboot bootloader command to phone while it reboots to recovery mode when you connect USB cable.
Make sure you have ADB Tools version 1.0.32 or later.

Thanking you an infinite number of times:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:. I had the same issue with my Pico. I lost every hope......but finally you arrived I changed to yannou90 recovery from TWRP. Now everything is working fine on CM9 :good::good::good:
By the way.....i'm guessing what could have caused the issue .....A corrupted TWRP ??

All you have to do is Keep sending adb reboot bootloader command to phone while it reboots to recovery mode when you connect USB cable.
Make sure you have ADB Tools version 1.0.32 or later.

I fixed this by the below reply @Vexo_
I know u fixed the problem but i think this is a general guide to fix your phone if you have this type of issue after flashing OOS 3.5.6 based roms!
i had the same issue yesterday with freedom os 1.7 (based on OOS 3.5.6) and OOS 3.5.6, here is how i fixed my phone:
- download http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...5&d=1473889816
-unzip it and put it on the desktop
-put your phone in fastboot (make sure you have unloked bootloader and installed all the drivers and adb on your pc)
-press shift and right mouse click on the desktop and hit open a new prompt window here
-write "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img" and press enter, your phone should reboot in recovery (keep the prompt open)
-wipe dalvik/system/data/cache/internal storage go back and do format data
-reboot in bootloader(fastboot)
-write in the prompt "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img"
-unplug your phone and turn it off switching in fastboot with the volume buttons
-when it's powered off press power+volume down and chose recovery
-now you should boot and flash any rom in recovery (i suggest you to not try to flash any OOS 3.5.6 based roms)
i went back to OOS 3.2.6 but any other custom rom lshould be fine!

Glad you fixed your problem :good::good::good:

System is not booting after flashing TWRP

I have flashed TWRP 3.3.1 successfully . after that I rebooted into TWRP and it does not enter its recovery UI. After that, I tried to reboot the phone but it goes to recover screen again without entering recovery UI. I can't open my phone now. please help.
At the beginning, after flashing the twrp it was showing only TWRP screen not the options. then i rebooted the system and the phone rebooted without any issue (till now, phone was ok). then I again flashed the twrp but it remained the same. after that i tried different command from the Powershell. (fastboot boot twrp.img) and it showed downloading. after waiting for 5 min, I just closed the PowerShell and tried to reboot. from that time I cannot boot my phone anymore. then i again flashed the recovery but could not boot the phone. when i triy to boot the phone it only shows the recovery screen. I've attached the commands that I used to flash TWRP. Please help me to solve the problem.

Have you tried booting the recovery by pressing Power + Vol up?

Now since you are bootlooping we would need to install MIUI back again, to do this download the MiFlash Tool and the fastboot ROM for the latest MIUI, now copy it's file path and paste in MiFlash Tool, also make sure it detects your phone, now in the bottom right corner there would be an option like flash_everything_except_internal (similar to this) so that the internal storage isn't erased, now flash the ROM and let the phone boot up atleast once.
Once that's done use this TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-proper-t3933531/page4), it has a fix for the encryption bug and won't lead to a bootloop (the password/code/pattern asked in it is the same as the phone's), now you have TWRP installed and running

Thanks for your support. I followed the instruction and bootup the phone. But I'm afraid of flashing TWRP ?

It worked. I installed TWRP without any issue . Thanks again ?

TWRP 3.3.1 has bug, reinstall TWRP 3.2.3 and boot to recovery and then reboot to system.

I have now flashed TWRP. But my phone isn't booting into TWRP recovery and the power button and volume UP button is booting the phone into MIUI recovery. Also when booting into the system, it's asking for a password when I had no passwords on the device. Will MiFlash Tool help in this case??

The password is on the phone lock screen? In that case your device must have got encrypted, you might have to format all partitions and then flash with Mi Flash.Do have a try with MiFlash first, might help if it's not encrypted. Also make sure you used the right commands to flash the recovery, and use OrangeFox or Peter's.
