I've got this problem too, flashed CM9 and now won't boot into recovery at all, tried reflashing CWM Touch twice now!! Help!!!

Hey dude, I figured it out! dunno if it works for you but I had to use adb and this:
fastboot erase cache
worked a treat

That step is vewy vewy impowtant
I learned that the hard way
on xda for android and mistyping like a boss

That's not adb that command needs to be executed while the phone is in fastboot

[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...

Help? Bootloop and can't access bootloader

Hi there,
I recently installed ARHD 9.0 on my One-X but didn't like it, so i tried to revert to CM10 and now i think i've screwed things up. I rebooted, ran CWM, did a full wipe, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, installed CM10, installed GApps and tried to reboot and flash the CM10 boot.img - however instead of booting back into the bootloader the phone just continued booting and is still at the CM10 boot screen. I can't access bootloader for some reason - i hold down power and volume down, but no bootloader. Is my phone bricked? What can i do?
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

How did you find yourself in that position to begin with? Was it flashing a new rom? Did you flash the boot.img? Don't panic, so long as you have access to the bootloader, you will be ok.

Fastboot erase cache

[Q] One V Won't boot/stuck in a boot loop

Hi! All my problems became today, when I decided to root that samsung ROM. I used evervolv (old version) I red the instructions and I flashed kernel and boot.img with the htc one V all-in-one toolkit. It said that: "boot.img flashed" I was like: nice, and continued, did full wipe, and wiped cache then I flashed ROM and update. I tried to boot, but it did not boot. After waiting for about an hour I decided to do something. I was able to get to fastboot, and I flashed boot.img manually trough adb and fastboot, did everything like before, and still no boot.
I decided to try some else rom, because I have SD- card reader in my laptop. I putted sphongle to SD- card and I was able to get to fastboot, flashed boot.img, and flashed ROM. Phone was not able to boot, and it just got stuck in a boot loop. I tried samsung again, and now I can only get to recovery or to the white HTC- screen, that has text about build being for developement purposes only. Does anyone have any ideas how-to get my phone back to life, or is it totaly dead? Answes appreciated =)

Are you flashing correct kernel check that first.
sent from HOV
powered by sphongle 4.2.2

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that I flashed right kernel, but now I can't get to fasboot screen. Only to ClockWork mod recovery. When I boot device, and press vol. down, and power, it always goes to recovery, or if I start to press those buttons a bit later, it only goes to that white HTC screen with red text. =(
E: After a while phone turns screen off, vibrates, and makes the screen again, so some kind of boot loop i guess?

Was able to get it into fastboot. I flashed kernel and boot.img, those that came with shpongle. Then I did all the wipes and flashed the ROM. Still nothing. Goes into that same screen, and loops there.

Phone stuck in boot loop

Hello guys,
So basically my phone shut down while I was using the app drawer. And it got into a boot loop. The phone is rooted, and it has Lean Kernel and Paranoid Android 3.6 installed on it. It tried to factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache, basically do everything in the recovery mode, but it still wouldn't boot. So then I formatted the sd card, and everything else there was to format. And now the phone is just stuck on the word Google. I understand (guess) that's because I've formatted the internal memory. How do I get to flash a rom to the phone now? The computer can't seem to get a connection via USB while the phone is stuck on the word Google. Thanks for your help

Just ran in to the exact same problem on my girlfriend's phone. Please help. It turns on and I can get into bootloader mode and recovery but when I go to reboot, it just stays on Google startup screen. I did the same things, formatting and such. The sd card is empty with nothing to flash. Help!

Ok, so I've managed to flash another rom. But it only shows me the boot animation and back to the Google logo...

I tried installing this kernel and this rom. But it still doesn't boot up. It seems that the kernel is installed on the phone, but the rom isn't, because the command line on the phone doesn't actually write Done or anything else, it just sits there for a while doing nothing.

why dont you flash back to stock using fastboot?

Been there and the "Nexus Root Toolkit" by WugFresh really came in handy. Used the software to go back to stock and since then no problem

Via fastboot flash the recovery first and restore from there
and then see..
it should boot up..
or
just flash a stock rom too then.

Ok, so I'm trying the Nexus Root Toolkit right now to get back to stock. But the log shows that archive does not contain:'boot.sig' , 'archive.sig', and 'system.sig'. The process was finished, and it says that stock was isntalled on the phone, but it still stuck in boot loop. It says in the CMD that it might be stuck in boot loop for 5-10 minutes, but it will eventually boot. But the phone still doesn't. And I've also tried to install each .img file through fastboot using this guide. But it still seems to be stuck in bootloop. I've been waiting for 5 minutes, but I'll keep it on for longer...
Update:
Ok, once it showed that :"apps are updating x out of y" and then it started looping again, and then another time it booted until the place where I could choose my language, aaaand it started looping again.

Well that is a progress
Try to update the recovery using Nexus Root Toolkit. Push the stock ROM using the advanced option and then flash the stock again using recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.

try to lock your bootloader. if its still unlocked after you reboot your phone, your emmc chip is fried.

Having the bootloop. I've tried the Universal Nexus Tool for Linux and get no boot SIG and recovery SIG error.
I can't get it to boot at all. :/

I locked it with "fastboot oem lock" and after taking out the battery it says that the bootloader is locked. So I guess the emmc chip is fine?
By the way, is emmc memory related in anyway to the Lagfix(fstrim) app that I've got from Google Play to speed up my Nexus? Maybe the problem is somewhere there?
Also, If I'd locked the bootloader and took it to the Sprint store, would they try to fix it even though I had the phone for more than a year?

I've tried everything and still a bootloop. No matter if I recover to stock or flash a custom ROM.
