I used superwipe but then did not flash a rom. I can access the page where it says HBOOT and FASTBOOT etc but the phone is stuck on the HTC logo at the start. Also I cannot access recovery as the phone resorts to the Logo even though I flashed the latest 5.8.4.0 image successfully.
Does anybody have any idea how to get the phone fully working again?
Many thanks,
Paul
Correct me if I'm wrong but, I'm pretty sure you MUST flash a ROM after a superwipe. It erases EVERYTHING not just user data.
No I'm pretty sure your right it's just that Murphy's Law would have it that I expect somebody else has done it before so I was wondering if there was a solution in place.
I think you would have to reflash whatever ROM you were using to get it out of a bootloop.
How would I be able to do that as I can't access the recovery,
When you flashed the recovery did you run 'fastboot erase cache'?
No I don't believe so
reflash the recovery then run 'fastboot erase cache' and see if it works! When I came from the older version of CWM I had to run that so its worth a shot!
I've just reflashed the recovery but it goes to the HTC logo when I select it do you need to access the recovery to run the fastboot cache erase, the reflash also worked perfectly so it's strange I can't access it.
I would run the install.sh script to install recovery then run 'fastboot erase cache' right after it tells you successfully flashed.
Okay thanks for the help is there a tutorial for that somewhere? As I've only used cmd before.
ah. i see. i would check the CWM thread for that. I'm pretty sure it would be the same in cmd though. I use mac so I apologize if the things I'm saying are incorrect.
i would just reinstall recovery using the install-boot-windows.bat.
After that is done run fastboot-windows.exe
type the command 'fastboot erase cache'
if successful reboot and hope for the best.
Holy s*** that worked, thank you so much I was scared to put it mildly.
You're welcome! Glad to help!

Hi all,
I tried to install the Jellybean on my One X following instructions step by step from here - the 'guide to installing' link, under the mirrors
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763240
However when booting up it stuck on the flashing crosses for about 20 minutes before I decided it was probably not working. I read the comments and realised the only part I didn't do was a wipe, so I wanted to try again, but before doing a wipe I wanted to make sure I could then re-send the relevant files to my phone via adb, because I assumed a wipe would wipe those files off. However when I do adb devices it doesn't bring up the phone. However if I go into recovery, (CWmod 5.8.4.0) then run adb devices it does bring up my phone on the list. Also when the phone is apparently trying to boot up and stuck on the splash screen loading and I run adb devices it also sees my phone there too. I can send files across. I tried with a recovery img, but the adb message said it was waiting for the device to respond, which it never did.
I had a CWmod backup made before starting, so I ran that, but all that did was change the splash screen it gets stuck on from the colourful crosses to the HTC One logo screen. But it still gets stuck.
Does anyone know what to do from here? I still have access to the bootloader. Do I do a factory reset from the bootloader? Do I do it from CWrecovery? I'm feeling a little bit worried now

First of all take a deep breath. Go get yourself a cup of coffee or whatever your favorite drink is. Preferably non-alcoholic.
In CWM, if you go to mounts & storage and mount your sdcard, you will be able to transfer files to your phone's sdcard. One reminder, reboot your phone to bootloader again after file transfer.
You have to install rom's kernel from your PC using fastboot command (even when restoring from your nandroid backup. Copy the boot.img file to your PC from CWM as I described above)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
As for adb commands, CWM supports adb commands not fastboot commands. You have to use fastboot commands when in bootloader in fastboot usb mode such as
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot-bootloader
etc

Hiya, thanks for that. Just a couple points for clarification. Do I do a wipe first? Or Format? Which wiping option should I go for? There's wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition. Also there's the factor reset option on the first bootloaders screen. And if I do wipe it won't that remove the clockworkmod for recovery?
The rom's kernel... would that be, in this jellybeany case, the file tg_endeavoru-ota-33.zip, and the boot.img file?
I realise these are things I should have learned first, but I thought it seemed rather straight forward, now I'm trying to take no risks so just want to make 100% sure I understand everything involved.
Thanks for your help, knowing I'm not doomed has lifted most of the weight

Since you will be coming back from jb, wiping would prevent any future problems. Even if you decide to stay with JB, do a wipe as below
In cwm,
Wipe cache
Under advanced, wipe Dalvik cache
Under mounts and storage, format system
Cwm will remain intact. Also, I think selecting factory reset from bootloader menu will take you to cwm anyways. It's been awhile.
Yes, it is the boot.img file inside the zip. But you must use the full rom and not the ota. Ota only includes updates to some of the already existing files. It's just an upgrade.

I seemed to have bricked my device......... the phone just seems to hang on the white HTC screen.. I am very new to all this so please help with even the most basic and obvious steps.
Events that led to this:
Last night i unlocked and rooted my phone using clockwork recovery and then installed superSU. All was fine then.
I installed Nanobackup and took the backup as suggested.
then later today, after reading a lot i decided to try CYANOGENMOD'S root and then it all statred to fall apart.......
the phone never booted after that. first it used to get stuck on CYNOGENMOD's startup screen and it never moved forward. after reading some more I realised that i needed to update the BOOT.IMG file along with it which i missed. after this also nothing was happening.
I was thanking my stars that i took a complete back up and tried to restore it..... but as my luck would have it that also did not work.
Now i am stuck with a white boot up screen with the HTC logo on it. I can still connect to fastboot....... PLease help......Very desparate.
Thanks..... all and any help is appreciated.

Hi Thanks i tried all this again just to be sure.... but no help.
The command i am using for Fastboot is
Fastboot boot boot.img
This is correct??? Also just to be sure i have the correct boot file should i download the .zip file again.
Also i forgot to add that i installed CM downloader from Google play from there i directly downloaded the CM10 ROM. Is this why there could be a problem?
the correct command is: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then fastboot erase cache
the command is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the "fastboot erase cache" get the rom from this site its under original android development pick what ever you want
you will find steps in the rom page if you ddnt understand me

So, I have downloaded Philz, I think I have flashed the recovery.img file over to the phone from CMD shell window.
I have rebooted my phone to fastboot menu and selectet recovery.
The result is still the same. Just the htc boot screen.
I`m sure I`m doing something wrong but cant figure out how. Philz How to uses USB / PC file transfer so I`m unable to use it as a step by step.
Would really appreciate a step by step command overview. If possible with an explanation so that I learn why I do the different commands. Then I wont be so f.. ignorant about these things anymore. Hopefully

I'm also having this problem. I'm running android 4.3. I've tried TWRP and Clockwork Mod. I achieved S-Off and an unlocked bootloader with firewater.

Use Clock Work Mod. TWRP has been having issues with so many devices.
Did you do " fastboot erase cache " before flashing the recovery. I have used twrp since day one with out any issues. I hate cwm because of the super slow backups. Twrp finishes in 1/4 the time. Also twrp looks much better.

i havent tried that will give it a shot .I deleted sdk and trying to reinstall it but for some reason its not loading the page to dl it.So if anyone has a file for that would be cool,where is the fastboot erase cache at im not seeing it any were.back in the day when i had the thunderbolt I never had this much problems
fastboot erase cache is a command you enter in fastboot mode. Just like when you flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
You dont need the whole sdk. I assume the drivers are still installed? All you need is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipa8tsjdmcacxul/miniadb.zip. Just extract the files to a folder named adb. Then put your recovery .img file in the adb folder too. Then open your cmd prompt to that folder and do the commands.

Did you use the VZW version of TWRP from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
No issues like mentioned before. I've heard philz works well but haven't tried it. You can even use an app called flashify to flash either. Fastboot is better and less risky, but I've used flashify and it works.

are their suppous to be spaces between fastboot flash recovery
That is the wrong recovery for this phone. Use this one http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img from the post above by brholt6. Also make sure you do the fastboot erase cache command before flashing the recovery. And yes there should be spaces.

fastboot erase cache
Then

Hi everyone,
So I'm kind of new to flashing ROMs but I pretty much got it and flashed a couple of them the last couple of weeks.
Today I flashed the GPE ROM and everything was going smooth, installed successfully but then, the device won't boot up - it just showed me black sceen.
After a few minutes of non responding I forced shut down and went into fastboot, then hit recovery. I have CWM custom recovery. The device showed me the boot animation of the GPE for some reason and then won't go into recovery but showed me "type password to decrypt storage" for some reason. I couldn't go into recovery no matter what I did. Then somehow the device rebooted as usual and now it's on and running but tons of bugs and force stopping apps. IM TRYING TO GO INTO CWM RECOVERY BUT WHENEVER I CHOOSE THAT OPTION IT SIMPLY REBOOTS AGAIN.
HOW CAN I GO INTO RECOVERY AGAIN AND RESTORE MY NANDROID BACKUP? OR DO ANYTHING IN ORDER TO GET A DIFFERENT ROM?
The PC IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE DEVICE, CANT TRANSFER FILES OR RUN FASTBOOT COMMANDS!
THANKS IN ADVANCE! PLEASE HELP!! THE PHONE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL NOW

1) Make sure you have fastboot connectivity. Connect the phone in fastboot mode, and type the command: fastboot devices
2) Place the desired recovery .img in the folder where you have fastboot.exe located. Usually, the most updated version of your recovery is best.
3) In Command Prompt, change directory to your fastboot folder. I have no idea where you setup that up. But it will be something like: cd foldername
4) fastboot erase cache
5) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the filename of your desired recovery.
