Hello,
I also have this problem but, moreover, I think I'm also not able to do a data/factory reset (from the recovery I can start the procedure but than the phone reboots without finishing...)
All the rest is the same:
- stucking loop after Cyanogenmod logo and rebooting from the beginning (google logo)
- the new rom I've pushed was disappeared from the folder
So now I don't know what else I can do...

I was using the ClockworkMod (I don't remember exactly the version number but I updated recently and it was the touch screen one). I'll try to re-install also the recovery with the very last version (6.0.4.7). Since now I only put a new cyanogenmod rom (both cm-11-SNAPSHOT-M12 and the last stable cm-10.2.1) with adb push

have you tried adb sideload?

Just tried.
On the terminal after the command
adb sideload cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-maguro.zip
it tells me "error: closed"
I also tried to reinstall the Clockwork via bootloader but didn't change the situation (still not able to do a complete factory reset)

you first did click on "install zip from sideload" in clockworkmod to activate sideload on the phone, didn't you?

You are right, I didn't click "install zip from sideload" before. Now I tried in this way and, effectively, it worked: I managed to send and install the zip apparently without any problem but than after rebooting I'm still not able to turn on the phone completely. Again the same problem. I re-tried to do wipe data/factory reset both from the recovery and using adb but didn't managed to finish the process...
It seems I tried all the options since now.... but my nexus is still unusable...

did you try getting back to stock rom using any guide on this forum?

I mean through methods other than recovery, through fastboot mode or odin mode.

I tried to Restore Galaxy Nexus to Stock (as described here) with the proper google image but in the last passage I get:
$ fastboot -w update image-takju-jwr66y.zip

Device version-bootloader is 'PRIMELC03'.

I put all I need in one folder and I decided to update the bootloader at the PRIMEMD04 version but apparently I didn't managed because doing again the procedure I was getting the same error
ps: I'm using linux so I don't have odin

when the phone is in fastboot mode you should find your bootloader version at the bottom left of the screen, in your case it should be:
BOOTLOADER VERSION - PRIMELC03
when you flash a new bootloader through: fastboot flash bootloader {your-bootloader.img}
you need to reboot for the changes to take effect, you can do it with: fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that you should see a different version on your screen, is that the case?

Yes I have BOOTLOADER VERSION - PRIMELC03
With fastboot I tried to install the PRIMELC04 bootloader

But than, after the reboot, on the screen it's still written BOOTLOADER VERSION - PRIMELC03
I think this is the main problem now... if it's not updated the bootloader I can not reinstall the rom probably...

you can bypass the version checking by extracting the update zip and flash each image manually
in your zip you should find 4 img files: {system,boot,recovery,userdata}.img
you can flash them on by one like the following:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Tried as you suggested to install the PRIMELC04 bootloader flashing each image.
Apparently is not possible also in this way. After rebooting on the screen is still written BOOTLOADER VERSION - PRIMELC03.
So I tried to install a stable cyanogenmod 10.2.1 (which should work with the bootloader 03).
I used adb sideload and after the "installing updates" message, everything stopped with the message "fixing fs_size in crypto footer". After more than 30 min I rebooted and the situation was the same as before.

HELP. HOX is dead

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?
How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?
I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?
the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/
It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.
I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.
What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

[Q] I'm worried I killed my phone

I decided earlier today that I'd try to root my one X, but I wound up screwing up to the point that I'm lost. I accidentally wiped the system while in recovery, and when I rebooted, it kept looping. By pressing the power/down button, I can get into the bootloader, and from there into recovery. In the recovery, I was able to look around using a file manager but only found empty folders.
I used adb push to try to get a rom onto the phone, but I'm not able to flash it. When I go to reboot, it informs me that there's no OS installed.
If anybody has any idea what I can do, it would be much appreciated.
im assuming you already unlocked your phone
1.Enter fastboot by holding power + volm down.
2.Select fastboot
3.plug in USB
4.flash recovery with the command: 'fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery here>
5.flash the boot.img that came with the ROM, usually it's located within the zip file
6.erase cache using command: 'fastboot erase cache'
7.select Hboot to return to main menu
8. go to recovery
9. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik from advanced options, format system from mounts and storage menu
10. in mounts and storage, select mount usb
11. copy over ROM zip
12. Install from ZIP
13. reboot system
PS. your phone is only bricked if it can't turn on. obviously it's not going to boot up if there is nothing to bootup, lol
Just ensure your recovery is a recent version, like clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, otherwise mounting won't work.
Thanks for the quick reply. I don't entirely understand how to flash the recovery, however.
I assume I'm running the command on the computer. How do I know what to type in as the recovery?
Mate, did you even do your research before attempting any of this?
Anyway,
Make sure you got HTC sync installed, also Android SDK
1/ Open to a command prompt by going: start -> type in cmd
2/ browse to your folder containing fastboot and adb using the 'cd' command
e.g. My fastboot folder is located at "C:/htc/fastboot" so I would type: 'cd C:/htc/fastboot'
If you're using the one from SDK it could look like C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3/ enter the commands -fastboot flash recovery ...., fastboot flash boot.... etc.
Not nearly as well as I should have. I learned the hard way I guess. Thanks for putting up with my cluelessness though.
I've done as you said, but when I tried to boot into the recovery, I got stuck on it looping the "htc quietly brilliant" screen.
You sure you flashed it Successfully?
and downloaded clockworkmod from here?

I was able to get my phone running again by following the video here --Nevermind, Can't post the link yet. Should anyone need it, send me a message--. Basically, I had to relock the bootloader and install the RUU.
Now, however, I'm trying again to root my phone, but whenever I try to unlock the bootloader, it still remains locked ("relocked" on the bootloader screen). I can't find anything about how to fix this. Have I lost the ability to root my phone?

do you have the files in the same directory with your fastboot.exe?
you could also boot into your custom recovery and use adb to push a rom to your phone.

and after reboot i get
H:\brick\xda-24-3-2013\yakju-jdq39>fastboot.exe devices
My IEMI number fastboot
y is this happening
*sigh* ...
Op, uninstall all drivers, reboot your system;
Connect device in fastboot to PC, manually update drivers, disconnect device, reboot PC
Connect device again, flash recovery, after it finishes, disconnect USB, use volume keys to "reboot recovery", reconnect USB, manually update drivers again
'adb devices' should return your SN
'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/' or if that doesn't do it, 'adb push ROM.zip /data/media/'

Can't install custom recovery (TWRP)

Hello,
I have a big problem with my H815.
My H815 bootloader is been unlocked.
II try to install TWRP, but without success:
Code:
C:\Users\~\Downloads\G4\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Users\~\Downloads\G4\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-h
815.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32064 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.197s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.317s]
finished. total time: 1.520s
C:\Users\~\Downloads\G4\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.189s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.036s]
finished. total time: 1.230s
For me, it's ok, but after that, my G4 reboot directly to the system (Android 6.0 : V20A).
And when I run the command "adb reboot recovery" I get to a screen where there is only an Android slept with a red triangle and "No command."
Any idea please?
Kind regrards,

I have exactly the same problem. Then I just can take out the battery and put the phone in download mode and then to flash via LG UP the kdz marshmallow file again. it seems I cannot install TWRP or root. The bootloader is unlocked of course.

thanks, now it works. My mistake was that I installed directly a supersu (not this from twrp) and this messed up the boot.
After installing twrp permanently, I used this method to get root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-root-lg-marshmallow-rom-repacked-t3265497
now I have root and twrp
Can someone help me please ?
I tried to flash the KDZ 2 times but still nothing I parobleme always the same.

Thank you Sir!
Got the same problem, installed TWRP but got bugdroid dead once booting recovery. Idk why TWRP isn't written.
Nothing to do I'm trying every way I could imagine. The result is always the same.
I can't find solution on any forum. Please, I need help. :'(
Kind Regards
Hmm...have you already had root before flashing TWRP?
I think you can use Flashify.apk

Got exactly the same problem
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot <nameoftheTWRPimage>.img
then flash the SuperSU zip in order to get root
install TWRP Manager app
launch the app and accept to give su rights
choose your G4 model and the latest recovery version
install and validate reboot
:good:

Might be stupid, but is your bootloader unlocked?
Android 6.0 V20A stock?

How to install twrp without being able to boot into system?

I hate doing this since I've been a long time user and usually am able to figure stuff out on my own, but I'm hoping there is an easy fix. I dirty flashed the new aokp update over an older aokp version for the pixel xl and i forgot to flash the twrp image after. Now the system ui crashes upon boot (no surprise there) and I can only get into bootloader and the stock phone recovery. How do I get twrp back?

You fastboot boot twrp then flash it in twrp. The same way you got it the first time.

This why I wouldn't use a toolkit, you're just kind of handicapping yourself..
You don't need adb to fastboot. either you are using adb (in the booted OS or in recovery) or you are using fastboot (in the bootloader).
You should take a gander at a few of the guides in the Guides section on how to install recovery.

If you are in bootloader mode when you type adb commands it will fail. You use Fastboot commands at that point.
ADB commands are for when tbe phone is booted normally.

Can you mount the system and use adb commands through the stock recovery? I can't seem to get any fastboot or adb commands to work at all. Even when the system is booted up. The system ui crashes, but shouldn't adb commands still work at that point?

Who knows what else crashed if the ui crashed. Power down, count to ten. Then power and vol down. Once in recovery, connect it to the computer. Not before.
Fastboot devices
If it shows flash the factory image. Modify the bat file and remove the -w to save your data.
If it doesn't connect try other usb ports. Mine won't connect to my front panel, only the rear.
And try another cable.

Well, in theory if I can get fastboot to work I would want to flash the twrp recovery image and then restore a backup, right?

I am not a fan of TWRP backups on the Pixels. Seen a few bricks, especially on R2.
So i have attempted to fastboot flash a twrp img and its failing.
C:\Android\TWRP>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (26588 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.917s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Flashing active slot "_b"
FAILED (remote: partition [recovery] doesn't exist)
finished. total time: 1.020s
Am I safe to try a factory image or am I doing something wrong trying to flash the recovery image. ADB commands don't seem to work at this point for some reason.
Thanks for any help!

You are doing it wrong. You copy the TWRP zip to the phone.
Then
Fastboot BOOT twrp twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img
That boots you to twrp. Then you install the twrp zip while in twrp.
You can not install twrp any other way.

I need to add that I cant boot into the system as the system ui crashes so I have no way to transfer files to the phone at this place.

Fastboot boot to twrp as I described. TWRP has ADB in it, so then from your computer you can ADB push the twrp zip and install it.
But I still advise you to flash the factory image after removing the -w from the flashall bat file.

He shouldn't bother removing the -w. A fresh image is what he is in need of. Wipe the phone and start over. Easy.
