[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...

What did you do to stop the constant rebooting??
I just flashed a boot.img then flashed the latest JB rom now I'm going through a boot loop and can't even get to recovery now!!! HELP!

I was able to get to recovery and i wiped data/factory reset, restored the stock rom, fastboot boot.img and then fastboot erase cache and it worked.

Cant get back into Clockwork Recovery

Hi. i tried to install maximus new 3.2 rom and after i installed from zip and rebooted my phone, my phone is stuck on the htc logo white screen and keeps rebooting!
i tried to go back to recovery and it doesnt work now! the phone goes into a black screen then reboots again!

try in fastboot mode fastboot erase cache .
you posted in wrong section

Don't forget to reflash kernel modules incase you are using a custom kernel and if you need to reflash the recovery in fastboot make sure your battery isn't below 10% else fastboot won't allow you to flash it.

I have the same problem. The solution is simple: Flash the default recovery then re-flash the clockworkmod recovery again and then try.

You mention which rom you installed and that you flashed the zip file but don't mention that you did a wipe before this (depending on which rom you were previously on) or that you flashed the boot.img file via fastboot first.
PS! There's a section specifically for Q&A and these types of posts should go there are not to be posted in the dev section. Hopefully some kind mod will move it, but I guess you have a few answers by now.

You haven't flashed the boot.img if your phone keeps rebooting.
Also - you've posted this in the wrong section, this is a development section only.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 will not boot.

Hello I used [TOOL] HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [12-23-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof] to unlock my bootloader and flash recovery, proceeded with full backup > wipe > cyan10 > gapps and reboot but it just hangs on the cyan bootup screen.
I've left it for about 15 minutes now but no luck.
Should I try a new kernel, if so which?
Thanks

Sounds like that tool didn't flash your kernel correctly. Your gonna have to use the guides available and use fast boot to flash your kernel.

Ok, i think, you should try it again, from the 1st step:
1.Do a full wipe of your phone(wipe , wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, etc.)
2. Flash a CORRECT on your phone(CM10 Hellboy)
3. Flash the cm10.And don't forget to flash gapps.
4. Reboot.
5.???
6.Profit!
I think this should help. If not, try to saw, if you really do an unlock and root. Or do a restore, and install the cm10 again.
Good Luck!

i will try that again, even my backup from cwm won't boot hmm?

it is saying sON should that be OFF?

ok my own fault, forgot to install superboot lol. sorry to waste your time peoples!

I can't get CM to boot either, I have flashed both of JMZ roms that are sense based but can't get any other rom to boot up. What I'm doing is doing a full wipe, flashing rom, rebooting to bootloader and fastboot flash boot boot.img and then it just sits on splash screen. I have waited 30 mins and nothing. I have also tried flashing boot img first and then rom. I ultimately end up rebooting into recovery and then nandroid back to JMZ rom.
Could it have anything to do with the radio? I haven't purposely updated radio but that is the only thing I have seen mentioned that could cause this?

Check your radio version, of it ends in .9xx then you have the update installed and will need to RUU back to the older version.

If I'm already flashing the boot IMG from the rom, how does your thread recommendation help. Not ungrateful just curious. I thought that was what the boot img I am manually flashing is.

[Q] Bricked & out of ideas

I'm pretty new to installing ROMs and I seem to have screwed something up. I was trying to install CM10 but it didn't work. I wiped system and installed from my sd card and all I got was a black screen. I went to restore from my backup, but somehow it got corrupted. I've tried flashing different ROMs, following youtube tutorials, even tried the ROM Update Utility, but no luck.
I'm out of ideas... any help for a poor, ignorant beginner?

Are u able to get into bootloader?if yes,then again flash cm10 and flash the Hellboy kernel,this step u missed that's why it isn't booting.

I can get into bootloader. I tried as you said and flashed cm10 and then the hellboy kernel. Now it goes to the white htc screen w/ the red lettering... any ideas?

For going into bootloader press and hold power for 10+ seconds and when screen goes black release power and press and hold volume down until u get into bootloader.then select fastboot from the menu and then flash kernel.then go back to bootloader and from there go into recovery and do a full wipe and then flash cm10

Same result... it seems like everything's working when I do it, but when I reboot I just go back to the same screen w/ the red letters.

i'll help you:
these steps are to be made in the EXACT order:
reboot into bootloader, flash Hellboy latest kernel (for GSM if you are GSM, i don't know if this kernel is for CDMA also. If you have CDMA, please flash Super Sick kernel).
after the kernel is installed, use the menu to reboot to your recovery or use adb and type
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
when you are in the recovery, do these:
factory reset
wipe system
flash the desired rom - in your case CM10
reboot the phone
let it stay for 1 min after the reboot
reboot again in the recovery (use the menu from within the rom to reboot to recovery)
flash gapps package for jellybean;
reboot the phone
the phone will now stay a little longer until it reboots because dalvik will decompile the google apps you've just installed.
congrats, your phone is working
P.S: the line to flash your kernel onto your device, is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (you have to rename the kernel you downloaded to "boot.img")

Thanks! One hiccup, when I try to do factory reset it fails saying, "unable to mount '/sd-ext'. What does that mean?

Okay, I think I'm getting closer! I guess the twrp recovery I was using was bad or bad for my phone, because I flashed an old version and on reboot it went into loading the rom, I guess from a previous flash. I went back into bootloader, flashed supersick kernel, factory reset, wiped system, went to recovery and flashed the rom. I let it reboot and now it's stuck in a boot loop. I went ahead and put it into recovery and flashed gapps and rebooted. Still in a boot loop. Any ideas now? I really appreciate the help...

All in one tool for HTC one V
so, to start, reboot in recovery by using volume DOWN + Power. Once you are in the bootloader press fastboot and plug the USB cable in the phone ( you will see fastboot will change into "fastboot usb") then open the All in one tool and flash the kernel from the link, flash the recovery from the link *(all in one v interface is prety intuitive you cant get lost). and after you do this follow Icebox's steps into CWM. Factory reset, wipe data, flash room, reboot, flash gapps, reboot. enjoy phone!
thanks to all the devs that created these tools !

Still boot loopin'.... but the loop is getting longer at least..

did you try to flash the recovery provided in the All In One tool ? there's a recovery image included in the archive there, try to flash that recovery and with that recovery see if you can run the reset to factory

ah sorry, i did not know you are primoC, in allinone you also have a CDMA recovery, i dont know about the CDMA kernel but everyone talks about supersick so yeah, try to research what version of supersick you need for CM10 and flash that one

Well, I seem to just be going in circles... nothing I've tried has worked.. still getting boot loop. Flashing supersick and CM10 hasn't worked. I've tried it with cwm and twrp. My factory reset still says failed to mount sd-ext.

I dont know how much different is primoc from primou, but i remember i had a reset to factory in the bootloader aswell. and, as i said, i had the problem with mounting but i rebooted recovery and did each task (reset, flash) in a new recovery boot. i am brainstorming here but i am out of ideas, we are missing something here clearly, but as long as you have acces to the bootloader hope is not lost
