I have a problem when I reboot into recovery. The recovery that I am using on my HTC One S is TWRP. When I go into the bootloader and go to recovery, it will boot up to the HTC screen with red text on it. Then the phone will restart and boot normally. Then I would have to go to bootloader again and go into recovery and then it goes into TWRP. I don't know why I have to do this twice. I am not sure what I have done wrong and I can't find a way to fix this. Also I've been trying to flash CM10 and on the first boot, it stays on the animation for a long time. And one last thing. Root checker says I am rooted but when I use Apex Launcher and use a stock HTC widget, it says that it doesn't have root permissions. So can anyone help me with this? This is also my first time on XDA. Another problem. When I restore from a backup, it boots up fine. But then it stays on the lockscreen for couple of seconds and it restarts again. And when I rooted my phone by flashing SuperUser, It didn't say upgrading android. Was it suppose to?
Bump. I too have this problem with booting twice to get into recovery and can't find any answers. Thanks.
I have the exact same issue. I experienced it with both CWM and TWRP. Also when I reboot from recovery, the device seems to reboot twice, and it gets back to normal with a dialog asking if I want to send an error report to HTC. I was beginning to wonder what I have done wrong.

I would suggest downloading the newest twrp recovery IMG and flashing it with fastboot.. As far as flashing cm 10 make sure you flash the boot.IMG through fastboot before you flash the ROM..and wipe both caches after installation.. If you get stuck at boot animation go back to recovery and wipe both caches again...are you guys all using the all in one tool... Or flashimggui..?

I unlocked and rooted my tablet yesterday and everything appeared to be working fine. After using it for a couple hours and restarting it a few times it stopped working and is now locked in a boot loop. When I try boot the tablet it comes on and gets to the animation where the glint of light goes across the Asus logo but it does not finish and instead it stops there and I get the moving circles at the bottom. I've left it running there for several hours and it just hangs.
I've tried erasing the data and booting to linux but the same thing happens when I try either of those.
I've also tried flashing a number of different ROMs, but all that happens is it starts installing and then I get the Android guy on his side error screen.
I hadn't done anything to the ROM and was still running 10.6.1.14.4. I even downloaded that same ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266519 but I get the same error message when I try flash that ROM.
I would really, REALLY appreciate any ideas at all - and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

this gonna sound odd but i had exact same prob when i rooted and flashed chromix rom. it went. what i did was flash it once with the rom with secure wipe, then i flashed again. and it got stuck at optimizing apps,then i tried reflashing couldnt get it to boot, what i ended up doing was using clockwork mod to factory reset my tablet, then had to restart, and reflash, this time it actually got to main screen. dont let it discharge/reboot for awhile as im bout to post a issue im having with it. but thats what i did to make it work for me.

I'm not sure I understand --- how do I get to the clockwork mod if i can't get past the startup animation? And I've tried a bunch of roms with secure wipe and i get an error from every one of them.
didnt you install clockwork mod first?

the thing i found showed me to installed the clockwork mod first before i did any flashing, i rooted device then i flashed once clockwork mod was installed, i had to root, then install rom manager and goo manager, from within there i installed the clockwork recovery script/mod then i proceeded to flash chromi-X DEODEX.
Did you flash the correct bootloader? I had the same problem, look for my posts in the last few pages of ChromiX.

Seems to me you installed Asus factory stock rom JB 4.2.1 (10.6.1.14.4), which means you have the latest bootloader, then you unlocked and rooted your device, however, you never installed any custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (clockmod). Now your device is boot looping. You need to boot into stock recovery by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, now release both buttons, you should see 3 icons (RCK, Android and wipe data). NOW you are in fastboot mode. Let me know at least you can get that far, before we continue....

buhohitr -- You're exactly right. I can boot into stock recovery. When I select Android or wipe data it goes back to the animation screen and hangs up. When I select RCK it goes to the Android guy and says installing update but then it show him fallen over and the word Error. I've tried RCK with a memory card that has a number of different ROMs on it but the same thing keeps happening.

Give this a try, the factory Asus firmware zip file that you downloaded, unzip the file, you should see another zip file, rename this new zip file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quotation), then copy it to the root of your sdcard then boot into stock recovery and execute the RCK again. Make sure you don't have any other zips laying around in the root of your sdcard.
You are truly a god among men.

THIS WORKED!!! Thanks so much. I was really worried I had bricked it.
So now one last question --- WHY did that work? Is there somewhere I could go to read up on this kind of stuff? I've tried surfing the XDA forum but there's a lot of stuff like this where someone gets there problem solved, but not much explaining why something worked so I can learn more about it.

Somehow the stock recovery was reinstalled on your tablet, thus letting this method work. It however does not on CWM or TWRP. All you did was manually reinstall a stock rom back onto your tablet. How it got the stock recovery is beyond me unless you flashed a stock ROM from CWM and didnt realize what you were installing.

Since the JB 4.2.1 upgrade, this is the most reliable method to install Asus full stock firmware. Also, since you're unlocked, let root the device by go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 download the tool and root it. Once rooted, I suggest that you should install TWRP custom recovery, by download Goomanager from the market, open the app and tab on the 3 little boxes on the top right hand corner, select "install recovery scripts" , this will shutdown your device and install custom TWRP recovery script, once this installed, you can download "rebooter" from the market and this app has many options, one of them is allowed you easily boot into custom recovery.
URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE;
Can you please help my buddy Tyler, he just got the T-Mobile Note 5, and he rooted it, and installed TWRP Recovery, and flashed a ROM for the first time, but he's afraid he may have bricked his device ?
Here's the thread I have been coaching him at. Any opinions ?

Thank you.
As long as he knows what he's doing and has a unlock bootloader he should be fine

He did get the whole root thing figured out, and his phone does have SuperSU installed, he then installed TWRP Recovery through Odin, and is running the latest Modem COI5.
He downloaded a T-Mobile ROM, and Arty97 Kernel, flashed the ROM + Kernel, and he said been stuck on the boot screen for 25 minutes, and can't get back into Recovery.
Suggestions ?
Actually never mind after reading that whole thread I would reccomend download the stock rom and then flashing it . This happened to me when I flashed the wrong framework for my device. It got stuck on the same screen . I flashed in with my stock rom and it went back to normal and I didn't lose anything.
Tyler made this comment, can't seem to even power off the phone.
amn, you really are trying to help. That's awesome. Sadly however, the thing won't turn off no matter how long I hold the power button.
I saw one thread on reddit that suggested downloading a stock ROM and flashing through Odin. But, I can't find a stock ROM and I don't think you can flash ROMs through Odin.
He did manage to get this after trying to power down./
[/QUOTE]
Now what he asked ?
Tell him to put it into download mode then flash his stock rom . I Googled it and found it super easily and even found instructions
This is Tyler, the guy Zorachus has tried so hard t help. I've been googling for stoc ROMs but haven't found any to download. Can I flash a ROM through Odin?
I'm iPhone jailbreaker guy, so all this Android stuff is new t me.
I want to post the link I found but I can't because this site has a 10 post rule to post links and I haven't done 10 posts and don't worry this is my first Android phone . I've been jailbreaking since 4.1.2 so the switch was weird for me too haha but yes you can flash flash a rom through Odin
Here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56127/N920TUVU2COI5_N920TTMB2COI5_TMB/
Make sure it is the correct model and follow the instructions.
Don't worry, you should be fine.
If he got stuck again, hold down volume up and down and power at the same time and it reboots

Get back to download mode by holding home power and volume down at same time and Odin right stock rom for n920t and should be fine you can find all you need in the n5 t-mobile forum on xda-developers most everyone in forum are very helpful

I had this same issue, I found out that TWRP did not actually flash the rom so the phone sat on the boot logo with no OS to load, then read up on arter97's kernel and he recommends switching to PhilZ touch recovery instead of TWRP. He provides a download to this recovery on his thread I do believe. Luckily I had downloaded the recovery and simply flashed it via TWRP (Hint: while I was stuck on the boot up logo, the only thing that worked for me is holding Vol-, home and power, then as soon as the screen goes dark, switch from holding Vol- and hold Vol+ instead, wait a bit and recovery should boot).
Once I got Philz touch installed, I rebooted the recovery and voila, no more TWRP. I simply flashed the ROM through it and rebooted again, back in business.
So to conclude, I get the feeling you're experiencing the same problem, where you went wrong is using TWRP with the arter97 kernel.
EDIT: You're in luck! Go here: http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/5.0/n920tw8/
Grab the tar.md5 file and flash with Odin with the phone in download mode, then reboot to new recovery and flash your rom again

Hey thanks!!!! You saved my a$$ I have been dealing with this for 6+ hours now & couldn't get past the boot logo & your suggestion worked! I <3 you! Lol
Thank **** I found your post mate, I was stuck in a never ending boot loop with no way to get into recovery either.
The trick about holding down Vol-, home and power, and then switching to vol+ at blackscreen but keeping the others down, that thing worked and I was able to make it into my recovery!
Sadly however I made the most foolish mistake of all in my hurry and went for a factory reset.
On top of that I don't think that Titanium Backup was set to auto sync on my new phone so I might possibly have lost everything I have. Let's find out.
I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.
Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.
success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!
stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..
When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

After flashing TWRP, use the volume and power button to select recovery. Once in TWRP, wipe cache, data, reboot.

Great to hear it. Congratulations:good:
On my LG G2 VS980 I lost my TWRP recovery by trying to flash CWM Touch. Now when it boots into recovery I see a black screen with some tiny writing that instantly disappears back into a black screen and stays there until I hold power down for about 15 seconds. Originally I had stock 26A (KitKat), rooted with Stumproot and used Autorec to put TWRP on and that worked fine. Then I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1, that worked fine. Today I decided since I had CyanogenMod, I would try out their Touch recovery instead of the older TWRP. I downloaded Flashify and the latest CWM Touch recovery and downloaded Flashify and flashed the recovery with no error messages. I gave it root permission (the built-in CM root permission) and then booted into the mess I have now. I have tried to flash TWRP, but it does the same exact thing- same for trying CWM regular (non-Touch) recovery flash. None of the button combinations except power + up buttons do anything except boot into the regular phone or they boot into the broken recovery that shows the white writing that turns to the black screen of death. I tried going into settings and turning the developer settings on that says Update Recovery When Updating ROM, but that doesn't change anything. I also tried using ROM Manager, but it never worked flashing, even before. (It still does the same thing, it acts like it flashes, says its successful, then the recovery is the same. Useless.)
One thing that is odd is that I tried to use Autorec again. I downloaded the latest version from Play Store and when I tried to flash recovery with it it told me my phone was not supported- that it only works on VS980 model!?! That IS my model. So that's the gist of it. I really would appreciate any help at all. I love my phone.

I also tried using ROM Manager, but it never worked flashing, even before. (It still does the same thing, it acts like it flashes, says its successful, then the recovery is the same. Useless.)
One thing that is odd is that I tried to use Autorec again. I downloaded the latest version from Play Store and when I tried to flash recovery with it it told me my phone was not supported- that it only works on VS980 model!?! That IS my model. So that's the gist of it. I really would appreciate any help at all. I love my phone.
