[Solved] Can't boot recovery - HTC One X

As the title suggests, I can't boot into recovery.
When i choose reboot into recovery, it shows the htc logo for a while then flashes black, I think i sww the CWM background for a moment, then restarts back to the htc logo and then the rom boot animation.
Same thing happens when i try to boot into recovery from hboot.
hBoot version 1.36.
kernel: 3.6.7-TripNDroid_pro_series-010

this ROM
Installed it through CWM and most things seem to work fine except for the stated problem.
I can still boot and use the phone but not being able to boot into recovery is making me very uncomfortable.
According to google, it might be because I have fastboot enabled but I can't find the option to disable it anywhere.
I tried reflashing CWM with the version found here but i still can't boot into CWM.

cannot access recovery on DHD

hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.

running cyanogenmod but now cant get into recovery?

I successfully flashed cyanogenmod 11x last night. I followed the steps and everything works great! The phone boots fine, all features work ok. I had a slight issue of it hanging on the CM logo, but I powered down, booted to hboot > factory reset, and it booted up fine the second time.
Strangely, I don't seem to be able to get into recovery any more? if I go into hboot > recovery it just boots CM. I tried flashing the recovery again using fastboot, as I did when first installing CM, but it still doesn't work. Next I installed Rom Manager, installed the latest CWM, and rebooting into it from there - Still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
I had the same problem i was flashing the boot.img in the recovery partition. Fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]
Fastboot flash boot [boot.img]

Device will not boot to recovery

Currently I have my GPE running the following:
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: 1.14.21331931.LA02_2G_20.30A.4145.01L
Kernel version: 3.4.0-SkyDragon-V2.0.1-ga7f5909-dirty
[email protected] #11
Build number: SkyDragon GPE V3.0.1
I was trying to install the Viper Sense ROM (which I now believe should not have been done seeing as it is a GPE device) and in the process of setting it up went to change the recovery from TWRP to change it to PhilZ Touch as the ROM was trying to install. The ROM refused to install. Upon reboot and then trying to go back into recovery I discovered that my phone would say "Booting to recovery..." and then after about 20-30 seconds boot the device normally and bypass the recovery screen. Can anyone tell me what I can do to restore recovery to my phone? Let me know if there is any more info needed. The bootloader is unlocked and has S-OFF. Tried this about a month and a half ago and have not had the time or patience to try and figure this out more. Thanks
Try :
Fastboot ease cache
From the bootloader and enter the recovery again.

No change after "Fastboot erase cache" when I reboot and try boot it again in recovery. Just says, "Recovery loading..." still and after 30 seconds boots normally.

Just flash twrp again. And you should be good.

Ok. I had tried doing that before, but this time I ran it through fastboot and it managed to go through. The TWRP Manager app. GOO Manager and about 2 or 3 other programs failed to do it. Glad it managed to work this time

Flash Custom Recovery but Recovery is still Stock

So, I have the X9046 variant, and I've tried to use the TWRP recovery here.
I went into fastboot, did fastboot flash recovery <recoverynamehere>.img, with no errors. But, when I reboot into recovery it goes into the stock recovery.
I even did fastboot boot <recoverynamehere>.img, and it would just be stuck in fastboot, until I forced a reboot.
Any ideas?

I've used that before, and I've had the same problem.
No error during process ?
What are your build ?
stock or custom rom ?
Did you try to unlock bootloader ?

If you're running ColorOS, there might be a script that's part of ColorOS that restores the stock recovery. Not sure. (It's a common thing to see in most OEM firmware releases)

Stuck in bootloader. Bootloop from recovery.

I was flashing the MaximusHD ROM with the new layout and in the middle of flashing my HOX rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop and now when I try to boot into recovery it just shows the splash screen of the recovery and reboots again and goes into a bootloop. I only have access to the bootloader. Please if someone can help as soon as possible I would be highly grateful.

Tried it. Doesn't work. Tried flashing another recovery. Tried factory reset from bootloader. Nothing seems to work. It still won't boot into recovery.
