[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery. Stuck on boot screen

I have the International version of the One X and I tried to flash CM9 to it today. Everything was fine until I booted it up and it got stuck on the boot screen. Thought it wouldn't be a problem and I'd just try redoing the steps.. However, every time I select recovery from the bootloader, it restarts my phone. If I then hold the power button, it will turn off and then restart without me telling it too. The only way I can switch it off is by quickly booting into the bootloader and selecting 'Power Down'. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

Have you tried "fastboot erase cache" without the commas
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium

Yes. Didn't change anything. Still stuck on the bootscreen and restarts everytime I enter recovery. Just tried reflashing recovery too.
Could Installing the stock bootloader and starting again help? or will that make no difference?

Is there any way of completely clearing the system without using recovery?

Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium

Yes, However I fixed the bootup problem by using the following:
1.) Wiped with fastboot rather than recovery:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
2.) Re-flash recovery (fixed booting into recovery (ONLY when fastboot wipe is done)):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3.) Re-flash boot kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4.) Flash ROM and GApps using recovery
This worked fine BUT everytime I try and power down my phone it automatically restarts. This is incredibly annoying. The only way I can get it to turn off is to boot into fastboot and select power off. If my phone is plugged in it will still reboot after about 10 seconds which means I can't charge it unless it's on.

At least you got your main problem sorted

True. Thanks for your help too
I'm going to leave this to die, but if I can't fix my other problem I'll open a new thread.
In the mean time. If anyone knows a fix for this problem, please pm me! Thank you

Which version of recovery are you using? I seem to remember there was a problem with cwm recovery 5.8.3.1 maybe? Try flashing 5.8.4.0 if not done so already

Clockwork Touch 5.8.2.4
I've just seen that the ROM I've been using (TripNDroid's) has been updated to version 005. Working Wi-Fi!
Just spent the whole day setting up my phone.. Kinda annoying.
I'm gunna try flashing that and see if it fixes the problem. Will post here when I've tried it

Now I remember. Problem is with touch recovery. Only install 5.8.4.0.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Installed Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. Phone still reboots when switched off and cannot boot into recovery mode.
Boots up fine so it mostly isn't an issue but I was hoping to do a nandroid backup via recovery which is looking unlikely.

When i flashed cm9 for the first time, i got the same issue, i was stuck at boot screen...but at least i could boot into recovery, and from there, i used android revolution hd superwipe script, and then did the flashing process again...worked fine after that. So my main point is, if u can boot into recovery, from there you need to do a wipe script or wipe data/factory reset and THEN flash cm9...

Custom ROM won't boot

Hey!
I decided to install a new custom ROM. I went from Revolution HD and tried Viper v2.0, after installing it, my phone has been refusing to boot. (I used Revolution HD Super wipe before installing Viper v2.0) It freezes at "htc quietly brilliant" and stays there and doesnt do anything. Ive jumped into bootloader several times, first i tried the obvious and start Recovery. But everytime I press recovery i can see the "Clockwork recoverymode" for about 0.5 seconds, then some sort of loading and then it reboots and goes back to the startup screen and stays there. Ive alos tried the factory reset, but that didnt work either, so now im wondering what to do and im a little worried.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks alot!

Have you chosen the fastboot option in the boot loader, plugged in the usb before trying to talk to your phone with fastboot?

This problem happened to me a while back, it causes due to cache getting accumulated, fastboot erase cache got my CMW recovery working again..
i dont know why isnt it working in your case..
And about ROM not booting looks like boot.img problem, i hope u made a nandroid

Cannot access flashboot / recovery - RESOLVED

Hi,
I've looked through a lot of threads but can't match the symptoms to mine (this could be a lack of knowledge on my part) so any help is appreciated.
I've previously flashed ARHD a number of times successfully including a new boot image. I flashed 9.2 today with CD Tools Suite and this was fine. I later decided that I wanted to re-flash without the CD Suite Tools and did this by going into recovery and re-flashing the ARHD zip.
The update ran successfully (per CWM) but I can't boot into it. All I get to is the HTC One white screen with a beats audio logo beneath it. I also can't get the phone to reboot into flashboot / recovery so that I can do anything with it (I've tried holding the power button and either vol up or down but this just reboots the phone and it goes back to the white screen again).
I'm sure there is a way out of this. Could anyone please help me?
Many thanks.

Did you use fastboot to flash the correct boot.img file first? It's my understanding that anytime you flash a rom you must flash via fastboot the correct boot.img file for that rom followed by erasing cache before entering recovery and flashing the rom.

Didn't someone say holding volume up & power can brick your phone?
Fastboot is volume down & power.
Press them at the exact same time, keep them held till fastboot loads up (even if it does another reboot)

They both use the same boot image so no need to re-flash that.

This was the key for me. It rebooted a couple of times then went into fastboot.

[Q] hox stuck in bootloop

Hi everybody! i have a "little" problem with my one x, i'm actually using SkyDragon's Rom (18.6 Ultimate) and everything works fine,
this morning i tried to install paranoidandroid. my device was 100% charged,i flashed boot.img as usually then i tried to go to recovery for performing full wipe and installing rom+gapps, but the recovery doesn't start. I re-flashed the recovery but nothing changed. Adb doesn't recognize the device, but i'm pretty sure that adb works correctly (i had to push a rom in my hox one time ago and the device was properly recognized).
When i select to reboot into recovery from hboot, the devices restarts. shows me the cwm icon for a very little time, then restarts normally. Did nobody already had this problem? how can it be solved? thanks for all the advices

Try this
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery

[Q] HELP! Stuck in TWRP boot loop!

Howdy Everyone,
So just tried rooting my new m8 and now I'm stuck endlessly booting into TWRP. I thought I did everything correctly: Unlocked the bootloader, installed the USB drivers, installed the ADB fastboot drivers and then flashed twrp 2.7.0.3. I get to the the htc logo screen/warning and, bam, back to twrp everytime.
Does anyone know how to fix this??? The last time i was rooting and installing custom mods was back in samsung galaxy s2 days, so my knowledge is a little dated. Please help!!

Try flashing the recovery again. Download it from the link provided here and confirm the md5 checksum for the zip file.

I encountered this issue as well. I'm almost certain that when you were flashing recovery, you used this command "fastboot flash boot recovery.img".
The right command should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
To rectify the issue look for a tread that has the boot.img for your specific M8 model and flash boot back using " fastboot flash boot boot.img".
This should fix the issue you are having

I followed the instructions on the TWRP site:
Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.img
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43
Then reboot to complete installation.
But that left me in a TWRP bootloop. Can you please give me step by step instructions on how to get out of this bootloop?
Thanks!

First off, being a noob and using dd without even knowing what partiton you're writing to is extremely dangerous.
Just use fastboot.
plug phone into PC in fastboot mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
fastboot erase cache
on phone go back to hboot, select, recovery
In TWRP go to wipe, then swipe for a factory reset (Advanced wipe cannot properly wipe cache and dalvik after fastboot erase cache)
then go to advanced, select cache, dalvik and system and swipe to wipe those partitions.
then go to install, select the rom on your phone and flash. follow on screen instructions.
If you don't have the rom on your phone for whatever reason,
connect your phone, while in TWRP to your PC then, using adb on your PC
Code:
adb push romfilename.zip /sdcard/
Wait until it completes with bytes sent.
Then flash using method listed above.
Be careful if you want to keep your phone. I stress this, if you don't know what a command you are issuing does, exactly, DO NOT DO IT until you look it up and understand what you are doing. There is great risk even when you know what you're doing. There's a LOT more when you don't.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I opened fastboot on my PC with phone plugged in and entered the code but the cmd prompt just says <waiting for device>

Do you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC with HTC sync uninstalled?
Does it say fastboot USB on your phone?

No it's not. You flashed recovery to the boot partition.

You need cwm recovery to factory reset from cm roms.
Also you need to be in FASTBOOT mode for it to detect your device.
Boot to fastboot, erase cache, reinstall twrp.
Next time reset/wipe from recovery.
