[Solved] HTC Butterfly S-Off, Unlock, Bootloader & TWRP Recovery "Stuck in bootloop."
PLEASE try to HELP or acknowlede!
Please forgive me for contacting you as such but I'm desparate right now.
Dear All,
I'm wound up in a bootloop. Please help at the earliest.
This is my current status and a little history.
1. I was flashed InsertCoin 3.0.6 on my x920d (originally HTC_038) a couple of days ago (and did a TWRP Backup after That),
2. Had unlocked my previous, old custom rom (thru HTCDev), S-Off (thru rumrunner) and
3. rooted by flashing 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02' from recovery after flashing the ROM a couple of days earlier.
4. I had also flashed Kairi's firmware-kk (which is for HTC_061) as I had Super CID 11111111 by "fastboot oem writecid..." method, now I'm not able to do it anymore).
Anyway, there was some problem (wrongly presumed by me) with the htc backup/restore function, so I reflashed the IC3.0.6 rom a couple of times thru recovery(TWRP 2.7 by Kairi). And the device booted perfectly.
Stupidly, I happened to flash '[ROM] FireKatN4 Deodex V5 TW 4.4.4' through Kairi's recovery. Link of the ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...emely-t2916463.
Thish rom was for Samsung T Mobile Galaxy Note 4 N910T and it did not flashed properly; so I re-flashed IC3.0.6 thru recovery (if required I can perform this again) and it showed successful at the end.
Now since then whenever I reboot it get stuck in bootloop.
Since yesterday I have been trying various steps (repeated several times and not inchronological order):
- Unlocked the bootloader thru HTCDev once again.
- Flashing the firmware-kk thru oemRUU after changing the CID to 11111111 in the 'adroid-info file" of this firmware's zip. (it gave Remote90 error and after repeating fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip it flashed.
Although in between it said "signature checking, verified fail - Bypassing" and then continued on its own after that, successful at the end. However on my device the green bar moved only to 90% and remained there.)
- Rebooted into bootloader, tried flashing the same firmware with Error :
"C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'zip' (19401 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.975s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.011s"
Now my status is:
Although I'm able to flash recovery img thru fastboot. I can do it from oem rebootRUU.
My Getvar all read as :

Now
1. I,m S-Off, Relocked/Unlocked Bootloader (able to do this thru fastboot).
2. Can boot into bootloader & TWRP Recovery - Kairi's, but cannot boot the phone.
3. After flashed IC3.0.6 thru recover once again. when rebooting, get stuck in bootloop again.
Please try to help me out.
P.S. I have somescreenshots available of several steps, if required.

Did you flash the kk firmware twice? It will fail on the first go so flash again.

Yes Clarkie,
I had flashed firmware-kk thru 'fastboot oem rebootRUU', then 'fastboot flash zip fimware-kk.zip'
It gave me th 90 error and I repeated the command and it went successful.
I'll do that again and update you with each step chronologically.
Thanks for your help in my desparate situation.

Please help/advice.
Hi Vikram.
This could be the blind leading the blind. But I will help out as much as I can.
I had the same problem with IC boot looping and especially with my nandroid backups. See if you can download a different rom and get that on your sd card and flash that. You can try BOA Butterfly v8.0 that always booted up for me when IC wouldn't. I also found a stock nandroid x920d backup that worked. At least I had my device working until I had the time to sort out IC on my device.
Now a couple of your queries.
My cid 11111111
HBOOT 1.57
The green progress bar never reaches the end it always stays at about 90% and reboot bootloader command should be like this
"adb reboot-bootloader" without the quotes
Sorry Vikram all over the place tonight I just finished work. Hope this helps. Plus the best information I can give you as well is search this site. everything you need is on here with a little searching. Only been doing this since July and I also tried to flash every rom out there only to discover that they all don't work. Got myself out of a few bootloops.
Try what I mentioned above and see how you go with that.

Thanks A TON Clarkie,
Your reply is very much appreciated. It seems like a ray of hope in a dark tunnel. Really grateful to you.
Now coming back to the matter at hand -
I had earlier tried to
1. Tried to flash 'NOS_m7_v3.0.0_dlxbu1' thru Recovery, was successful but when tried to boot, got stuck again in bootloop. Then again installed InserCoin.
Note - Maybe I did not perfom a wipe cache & definately did not flash the boot image thru fastboot after flashing the above rom.
Secondly I'm neither able to reboot from bootloader mode into recovery nor vice verca.
Thirdly, I cannot flash any zip from bootloader (but able to flash image files thru bootloader & install zip thru recovery); & no "fastboot reboot recovery" from bootloader mode and no "adb reboot bootloader"
from recovery (same with RUU "fastboot reboot bootloader", though in recovery & fastboot mode "adb/fastboot devices" show my device).
Fourthly, whenever I reboot into system/android I get Two bootscreens - 1. HTC Quietly Brilliant & the device gets disconnected and connected again and the second boot screen is HTC One.
Finally it stays at the HTC One screen for some time and suddenly there is some very slight variation in the brightness of the bootscreen, then the capacitive buttons (Back, Home & Recent app) lightens and it
reboots.
2. Tried to restore from TWRP Backup (when I was successfully running InserCoin for the first time) but again the bootloop. I also have one of NOS_m7_v3.0.0 (When I was S-On), that I've not tried yet as I'm afraid to get
back to S-On and bootloop at the same time..
3. Meanwhile, today a couple of hours ago, I came across this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208833, and
performed an advanced wipe thru recovery (wiping everythingh except external sd card). Wiped Dalvik Cache. TWRP Backup. Rebooted. (For a lovely change) Got stuck at boot screen -HTC Quitely Briliant.
(maybe no OS installed).
4. Manually went into bootloader and then recovery. Installed InsertCoin again. At the end it said no SuperSU. Swiped to install it. Reboot. Got stuck at Bootloop.
Please try to Suggest:
A. When to flash boot.img - before or after installing the rom.
B. Does restoring S-On state backup will effect my S-Off condition.
Thanx In Advance.
1 + 1 = 11
Will Definately try BOA's Rom meanwhile.
HI Clarkie,
Tried the download links at BOA's ROM thread in the forum. Doesen't work.
Can you provide me a link.
Ok Vikram.
From what I have done and read I have always done a factory reset thru recovery before flashing any rom. Also try re flashing TWRP same version. I also got stuck on HTC ONE screen and turned the device of at power button and back on and it booted up fine. I would keep your device at s.off and i flashed the boot img after the rom because the device would not boot. Sorry for the short replies I am not that quick on the keyboard.
Here is the link for boa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656094
Spare link 4 is still up.
Just keep going on it. It is a process of thinking what worked before and why it not working now.
Keep me posted

Check your commands you need one of these ---- between adb reboot-bootloader. That is what I was trying to say last night. Not sure if you got it.

No worries.
Remember if it gets stuck on htc screen power off with power button and restart. See how you go.

Hi Clarkie,
Tried the following:
Installed TWRP 2.6.3
Factory reset from recovery.
Installed BOA V8.0 thru recovery (Couldn't understand the language of aroma installer, but went ahead both the times).
Device Rebooted into bootloop again.
Powered off with only the power button, but then it again restarted into bootloop.
Flashed the boot.img thru fastboot. Reboot. Again bootloop.
Went to Recovery. Wiped everythingh except Micro SDcard
Installed the rom thru recovery install zip
Aroma Installer Finished Screen -> from recovery reboot options went into fastboot. Flashed the boot.img.
Rebooted to System - Back to square 1 in bootloop.
Also during the bootloop pressing down the power button does not power off & restarts the device. But the screen goes off for a few seconds and automatically boots intp the bootloop.
FYI -
I'm using a partitioned sd card. with 1. FAT32, 2. ext4 & 3. Linux SWAP. And thru recovery file manager it showed sd-ext & superuser folders in the root. I'll give it a try on an unpartitioned card.
had successfully, flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-dlxub1 before flashing TWRP 2.6.3. But the CWMod recovery shows the following:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried adb reboot-bootloader but nothing happens.
Please try to suggest from here.
How can I check (from Bootloader/recovery) if my device is rooted/unrooted.
I mean when the splash screens stays on for more than a few minutes and not in boot loop hit the power button to off then back on. That has worked for me. I am not sure about your partitioned sd card. I just store things on mine.
Have a look at this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283896
I had the same similar errors a while ago but I cant remember how I fixed it. Well I do. I fixed one error at a time and lots of searching.

I have done again the following steps as you said:
1. Started the Device.
2. First Splash screen came up - HTC quietly Briliant.
3. Second Splash Screen came up - HTC One.
4. Waited for one/two seconds and pressed continuosly on the power button.
5. Screen went totally black/maybe powered off.
6. Removed my finger from the Power button in order to press it back to power the device.
7. Before I can press it is back on the first splash screen pops up and the bootloop starts.
8. Even If I do not release the power button after the 5th step it automatically reboots & bootloop starts.
I did try this from the first bootscreen and also after complete power down from bootloader/recovery mode.
Meanwhile I'll search the link you gave.
I think that maybe I'm unrooted now because when i try thru recovery - advance - file manager, I cannot see any file in /system/bin/ (where there should have been a su file there.)
Thanks for your reply . will keep you posted.
Your replies mean a lot to me.
Hi Clarkie,
Re-read all of your posts and guidance.
Motivated by this and the links provided espaicially by you and reply from abhinav.tella I think I'm able to lock on the problem (perhaps).
Right now compiling it and will post with further details.
Kindly try to walk me thru it with your suggestions and guidance.
Thanx in advance.
Bits and Pieces
Hi Clarlie,
Thanks for your time & energy till date. You are kind enough to help out somebody very selflessly on your part. I'm motivated and have inculcated the same.
Anyway, I tried to understand the whole thing piece by piece. Also I have assimilated a few screenshots (I have many others if required.)
The following is only what I did & now think could be the cause.
First of all; I had successfully installed and was running InsertCoin a few days ago. See Step by Sep as per the numbered images attached with this and several within the next few following posts.

1. 1. Unlocked, rooted & running InserCoin, (but a Kernel & firmware based on 4.2 custom rom) --- 28-11-14 17-23hrs

You might want to change your cid. Thought you was supercid 11111111
Hello everyone.
I am hoping someone might be able to help me out.
I had been using the sensation for a while with the s-off bootloader with no problems.
Recently I tried to update it to see how it would work on the lolipop builds that are out.
I updated the recovery to 2.8.3.0 TWRP and tried to flash the rom.
It looked like it completeled normally but when I went to restart the phone it will only boot into the fastboot of the boot loader. I can not get it to boot into the rom or recovery.
I have tried to reflash the recovery using fastboot but get the following error:
FAILED (remote: image update error)
I used the command (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) to try and flash a previous one that worked.
I can use fastboot to boot the recovery though and then it will load.
But when the recovery is loaded or by using the adb terminal I can not access any of the partitions.
It seems like the partition table is corrupted.
I have been trying to find a hboot to reflash but I also can not seem to use the command
fastboot OEM reboot RUU
That command gives me the following error
...
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] read data fail in CMD18
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: Read data fail..
(bootloader) [ERR] partition_read_emmc(732): error 2

(bootloader) erase sector 130560 ~ 131071 (512)
(bootloader) emmc_erase(1852): sd_write_sector failed!
OKAY [ 0.081s]
finished. total time: 0.082s
Currently the phone is on Firmware 3.33
s-off
hboot 1.27.110
Does anyone know where I might be able to find the firmware / hboot to reflash to see if that fixes the partitions on the phone?
Or any other way to fix this?
I am finding it hard to try and dig up files that have working links for this device anymore.
If I am not mistaken, reflashing the firmware should be able to fix it though.
I think I might need to find the RUU and just reflash back to stock and am waiting on the download for that as we speak. Just dreading going through and rerooting the phone again.
The wire part was really tricky.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time to read this.

Okay so the only good news I can see is that if you can make the RUU run it will not s-on your phone so rooting will be easy but, if fastboot oem reboot RUU doesn't work then your in alot of trouble. When you download the RUU (any I'd one for the sensation of XE will do) run it and then extract the .zip (search on Google if you are unsure how to) when you have that extract everything and then move system.img data.img and anything rom related out of the folder. Your aiming to only have hboot related items and the android txt file in there. Zip it back up by highlighting all the files and make a zip file, not by zipping the folder. Rename the zip file to the device model number with img (i think its pg58img.zip) then pass it to your sdcard and then reboot to hboot.
If your hboot can "update" it will hopefully be able to restore/remake your damaged partition table but if that fails your options are really limited. A J-tag would be able to restore the devices partition tables forcefully but you would need a repair shop to do that.

Yeah I think I'm toast then.
I tried grabbing the default Rom .zip and flash with boot loader and that failed.
Not sure if it needed to be on a gold card or not though.

Shouldn't make a difference as you are s-off.
What happens if you issue the command. Fastboot getvar all
Does it work?

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash RUU not fastboot.exe . The only ruu version that will work on your phone is 2.16.163.4 check on easy-firmware.com it's there

Okay here is a link to download the rom becuase , i just finish uploading it and its around 4gbs or so.
https://anonfile.com/E1P1E7mdbb/TWRP_zip
Steps to recover
1) First thing you should do is extract the rom, DO NOT FLASH THE ZIP FILE !!! .
2)Delete any old twrp folders in your sd card or phone storage, dont worry it will not affect the recovery itself.
3))Put the twrp folder in your device or sd card, however you can transfer it, its better if its on an sd card(make sure the folder says twrp).
4)Turn off the device and reboot into recovery.
5)Afterwards format the entire phone (Dont use factorey reset, use format data)just make sure you dont delete anything from the sd card.
6) Next go into restore or backup whatever its called and restore the rom from your sdcard, it should automatically detect the folder and if it doesnt try choosing the folder manually.
7) reboot the phone and give it sometime and if doesn't boot up after 20 minutes delete the cache or factory reset.
8) let me know if you got any questions email: [email protected]
