Hi, My problem is as follows:
If i remove battery and put it back and switch on the phone, it will get in a bootloop. I have to wait for around 1 hour so that phone boots normally. I took this opportunity to s-off my phone with revolutionary.
right now, i cannot get to recovery, if i go to recovery and press power button, phone will reboot. I even flashed a stock rom WWE v 2.29
Specs are as follows:
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot 6.93.1002
radio:5.11.05.27
I flashed CW several times through fastboot it says ok but still am stuck in boot loop and cant get recovery.
i went to alpha rev and flashed stock boot image but still not success.
Any help will be highly appreciated
After 1 hour , i can get phone to boot normally. at that time i think i will be able to get an adb shell..if there are any resizing to be done please guide me.
Yesterday I decided to try rooting my phone for the first time and after a long journey I think I may have screwed up my phone. At first, it went fine. I had cwm as a recovery and installed cyanogenmod. I decided to try another rom, so I deleted the data to start anew. At this point, cwm kept rebooting and wouldn't allow me to recover, so after trying a few solutions I stumbled upon this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436. I followed the instructions but was left with an error; FAILED (Remote: 53 Image Unzipping Fail). When I restarted my phone, my phone has been stuck in what I believe is ruu mode (black screen with silver htc logo, one triangle on each corner). I can't get back to the recovery menu even if I hold the power button and volume down. I can sill run fastboot, though, so I can keep trying to flash the Rom.zip, but it has that same error. It was S Off and Relocked before I encountered this problem. Is there any way to fix the phone?
Sounds like you can get into ruu. Just follow the instructions in the ruu post. If you can fastboot just fastboot flash boot boot.img, that should get recovery back.

For the past few weeks I had been running ViperOne rom. I liked it very much and it was for the most part stable, but I decided to try out UnsenseOne-KitKat. I tried installing the zip file using TWRP, just as I had done with ViperOne but when I tried rebooting, my phone only went to the bootloader and wouldn't even try booting to system.
I had a problem similar to this before when I was trying to unlock and root my One, so I thought I was fix it the same way I did then. I downloaded the vzw m7 RUU from here and installed it using fastboot. The RUU installs just fine and everything in the command prompt says that it was successful. But when I try to boot my phone now, it hangs on the white htc splash screen.
It also hangs on the white htc splash screen when I try to enter recovery. I'm at a loss, and I am now thinking I may have gained a new paperweight today. Has this ever happened to anyone? Or does anyone know how to fix this?
If it helps, this is what I see on my bootloader:
relocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-vzw__001
hboot-1.44.0000
radio-1.12.41.1112_2
opendsp-v33.120.274.0913
emmc-boot
UPDATE: Okay, so I tried installing instead the 2.10.605.1 RUU (I had been using the 1.10 version before) and now instead of hanging at the white htc splash screen, it shows the slpash screen for a few seconds and then goes back to the bootloader saying "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)" This is new... any ideas?
UPDATE2: I googled the Active cmdline overflow problem and saw that for some it worked to downgrade hboot to 1.44. I got the hboot zip from here. And now no more Active cmdline problem! YAY! Only now my phone is once again hanging on the white htc slpash screen.
UPDATE3: Haven't done anything else since the last update, but I did just notice that when I try to boot into recovery, I get a black screen with a picture of an phone with a red triangle on it. I get a similar screen when I try to boot into "Factory Reset" but instead of a red triangle there are two green arrows making a circle. Also when my phone is plugged in my phone now once again shows the charging animation (phone turned off). This was not the case before.

That sceeen is the stock recovery. Flash this in ruu mode. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip. That should get you twrp recovery. From there do a factory reset and then flash a rom, and see if it boots. If it does use firewater to unlock the bootloader again.

So I did what you suggested, and the .zip file flashed just fine, no errors, but I'm still stuck at the "Entering Recovery . . ." screen.

Nevermind, I downgraded to hboot 1.44 and I was able to enter recovery. Thanks!
Hello,
I've had this phone for about a week and got it configured the way I prefer: S-Off, unlocked Bootloader, SIM unlocked, rooted. I flashed the latest Beanstalk 4.4.4 ROM and life was pretty good.
The only thing was the power on screen had red writing, so I followed this thread: ★ ☆ [MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash Screen | m8 hboots | ALL Variants and it worked! It did remove the red writing, but now I can't boot into Recovery mode.
I tried getting to Recovery mode through HBOOT and also from the OS reboot menu. When the phone tries to get into recovery mode, it stalls at the HTC splash screen and states: "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen, but never gets there. I then have to wait for the phone to run out of power, before I can put it on the charger and then be able to boot into the Bootloader or the OS.
So then I found a thread to erase the cache using Minimal ADB and Fastboot: fastboot erase cache
which it did successfully. I then booted to the OS, and now I've lost my cell signal,
I booted back to fastboot and from my computer ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
which it did successfully. I then tried booting to the Recovery and again I get the HTC start up screen with: "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen.
So now I'm waiting for the phone battery to die off a fully charge. Before I do anything else, I would like some of your help with what my next step should be.
Please help!
Thank you.

the "fastboot erase cache" should be done after flashing recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name of correct twrp version>.img
fastboot erase cache
no need to wait for it to die out, POWER + VOLUP (possibly under a bright light) should do a forced reboot

Thanks so much for the tip on POWER + VOLUP to reboot the phone!
I then booted the OS ok (no cell signal though), rebooted to Fastmode, ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot: flashed the recovery file successfully, and then formatted the cache with the command line text stated.
When booting to Recovery, it's still not going into Recovery mode. Just sitting at the HTC screen with the writing at the top: Entering Recovery...
The phone also seems to be a bit sluggish now - just seems to be taking longer than normal for the parts that still work ok (loading the OS).

Not sure which recovery you're trying to flash but you might try a different version.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and it worked fine until I decided to try to get rid of the red text on the HTC bootloading screen.

have you made sure
1- the recovery is the correct one for your phone
2- the file isnt corrupt (check MD5)
i don't know if this is related to the modded hboot (it shouldnt be) but who knows, i dont like messing with hboot
If all else fails, RUU and start over.

Ok, I redownloaded the latest TWRP: 2.8.3.0 for the M8, checked it via MD5. I tried flashing the recovery file and nothing has changed... ( I now notice my phone won't connect to Bluetooth or wifi now)
Seems like all else is failing. I'll have to try RUU now. I'm starting to look around the M8 forum for info on RUU. Got anything threads handy to help me?

Originally the phone was with Rogers Wireless. I had to SIM unlock the phone so I could use it on Bell Mobility.

imho, try reflashing your firmware again (that would include stock hboot)
by removing the red writing you actually installed a custom hboot i think ...revert to your original hboot should fix things for you

Ok, so I flashed stock recovery and went to HBOOT>RECOVERY -> pressed VOLUP and POWER at red triangle w exclamation point screen.
- Wiped Cache, Factory Reset data (not sure if that is needed, but did it in case)
rebooted and the phone is working again (AND the red text is gone at startup)

nice :good::good:
no reason for custom recovery not to work since you were able to get to stock recovery, i've seen a few rare cases on the m7 where you had to delete the twrp settings file on the sdcard for it to work when going from one version to another (though really a very rarely)

Ok, it's definitely the download for the TWRP recovery I had. I'm able to reflash stock recovery and reflash other TWRP downloads (another download of the newest, then maybe 2.7.x.x)
-
OK, I flashed with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and that worked ok. I did MD5 the 2.8.3.0 TWRP, but it just won't work.
Thank you so much nkk71 and everyone who replied to my thread!

Got a similar problem like this one
unlocked bootloader
flashed twrp using the fastboot process of cmd
but i CANT get into RECOVERY MODE
when i click Recovery only a screen flashes saying "Entering recovery" and comes back to the bootloader screen showing HBOOT
PLEASE HELP
A TOTAL NOOB
Htc One M8... was running marshmallow sense rom with elementalx kernel.
- S-off
- running Bell marshmallow firmware
- Twrp recovery latest one.
Randomly the phone rebooted while I was using it last night and after that got stuck in a bootloop.
Now it seems to boot up but it goes to a screen where it says "please enter password to decrypt phone" ... I don't have a password so then it tells me to factory wipe the phone.
I can get into Hboot fine... the issue I am having is for some reason along with the rom, the recovery has crashed too... I have tried reflashing a new twrp or even the stock recovery but the recovery just will not boot. Regardless of me flashing the stock recovery... when I try to boot into it, it shows that I am booting into twrp (which makes me assume that the recovery isnt really being flashed)
I tried the RUU method but when I do rebootRUU from fastboot it just boots my phone and its stuck back in the bootloop and doesnt go to Black HTC screen :S.
Kind of stuck... I dont have a windows device otherwise I would try the exe method and lost on how to recover the device. Feels like maybe the flash memory crashed... but its so random
If anyone can help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
so just tried to run a gpe ruu as well... it did the first step of flashing the bootloader and just rebooted to the normal htc bootloader :S
seems like whatever I do nothing is being flashed to any partition... i found the adb command that fixes encryption for aosp roms... but I cannot run adb because I cant boot into recovery :S
