[Q] Bootloop help

I'm having issues with a bootloop on the incredible after rooting using unrevoked 3 and making the mistake of choosing cyanogenmod as the recovery because I'm incredibly new at this. Now granted this isn't an issue, I have root access now and I'm able to assign superuser and the phone boots to what looks like the stock rom. However, I wanted to flash cyanogen 7 rc2 and it's giving me a lot of issues when I try to access the clockworkmod recovery screen. I downloaded the rommanager from the market and flashed the recovery to clockworkmod 3.0.0.8 as per a wiki online and tried to boot to recovery. from there it hits the HTC incredible screen, then flashes every 3 seconds rather than showing the green text it's supposed to show.
I still have S-on and unrevoked won't run properly again. Tried running the factory reset and it's another bootloop. I tried going through the steps for a "manual recovery file flash via cyanogen's wiki, but I'm running into errors.
Summary:
unrevoked 3.32 completed successfully even using the cyanogenmod rom as the recovery file.
Have root access, S-on, radio version ~.7.28
Can't flash back to stock due to bootloop
Can't factory reset due to bootloop
Can't get to clockworkmod recovery screen due to bootloop
phone able to boot to main screen with original
Ideal solution: get to clockworkmod recovery screen and install C7RC2
Any help appreciated!

Why do you think using ClockworkMod was a mistake? It's one of the better AOSP ROMs out there.
It sounds to me like you're probably going to have to download one of the stock RUUs to completely revert your phone to stock. You might have a corrupted recovery. You can't flash ClockworkMod or an alternative recovery via RomManager?

oh don't get me wrong, my huge problem here is that I can't get into recovery, and I didn't load clockworkmod initally, but it is (as rom manager says) my recovery image and it's just not working at all.
I tried going with a RUU and it wouldn't get into bootloader properly (just shows HTC on the screen till the the ruu times out) I'll try on a 32 bit machine when I get home. I was originally able to flash on that and unrevoked was giving me issues till I did a 32 bit xp attempt. Thanks for the response!

whoops, forgot to address your last point. Tried another version of clockwork and the RA_GNM 1.8.1 and neither stopped it from bootlooping rather than recovery screen.

Did you try getting to recovery manually power off the phone while its off press power and volume down at the same time you should be in hboot use the volume button to scroll down boot into recovery.....

I don't think unrevoked finish all The way because you should be s-off did you wait until it said "done"..... or did you stop when it said "this is a triumph"
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Okay, from a 32 bit system has resolved the flashing back to a stock rom, I will update as to whether I can get into recovery and will wait until I am told "triumphant" this time around.
Will post an update in a bit if this was all that was necessary to fix the issue. Thank you all to have posted so far, please post if you think I'm missing something else.

No you need to wait till it says done sorry you misunderstood me......let it go till it says done and it stops completely..... because the last thing it does is flash the recovery

Did you try flashing a recovery through hboot?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Okay, problem totally resolved. basically what happened was that there was an incomplete unrevoked process for whatever reason or another. I repaired by downloading the RUU off the HTC website and flashing back to stock. That generated an error of "your firmware is too new" which is available elsewhere in XDA, basically solved by going into hboot and factory resetting.
Once I had the factory reset completed, I used a 32 bit system to unrevoke the phone (after setting debugging to on in applications > developer settings >debugging on) then I was able to properly boot into recovery. I recommend Clockworkmod update to 3.0.0.8 in Rom manager, but I used 2.5 and didn't have much of an issue. I backed up and the wiped the memory and cache and installed 7r2 without an issue.
The phone is WAY more stable now (thanks to all the hard work at Cyanogen! Thank you also to everyone who posted here!) Pandora doesn't randomly cut songs in half and battery life seems to have improved. Whether that was verizon's crap or I went market-crazy and had waaaay too many apps syncing... I can't say.
Thank you everyone again!

If your bootloader is unlocked, just fastboot flash cwm recovery, flash su thru recovery, then do a full wipe and install a rom.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried that and it didn't work. Pardon my ignorance but I downloaded cwm recovery and renamed to the zip and flashed with ad card,formatted fat32. Recognized and went thru with the blue bar, the parsed after that it did not attempt to reboot, but went back to regular screen? Did I miss something. I was forced to get another phone cuz my dincs been down Went with the rezound but really want my dinc fixed. Thanks so much for any advice I can get.

[Q] HTC One V VM CDMA Boot Loop Help

Hello, I am In serious need of some help.
My problem is that my device boots up to the HTC logo with the red writing then the lightning bolt shows and the short boot video plays but the sound is all distorted and cuts out half way through. Then it reboots. This is an endless and annoying cycle so I hold power + volume down and run fastboot to get the shutdown option.
Here is what I did.
I was trying to root my device so I unlocked the bootloader. I then was going to use r1-primo-cdma-superboot.zip but my computer was having trouble downloading the file and I ended up getting redirected to Tweaked Stock Boot.img I then flashed the device with fastboot and that .img file and got a broken phone as a result.
Since then I have tried many things including the RUU but I wasn't sure what one to use so I tried multiple RUU files that sounded right however I kept getting "error 115 : Unknown Error" when trying to recover.
I am more than happy to provide any information and I understand some is needed to properly diagnose the issue but I am not sure what information is needed or how to access it.
Also I downloaded PACman v15.3 primoc inyourface09.zip and flashed the kernel. Before I did that I only got the HTC boot image on startup. After flasing the kernel the boot loop included the lightning bolt and short boot video with distorted sound. I could not flash the ROM though because the "/sdcard" dir is an internal directory and the actual sd card dir is "/sd-ext" so the bootloader cant do it. I also tried sideloading the PACman.zip with "adb sideload PACman.zip" with no luck.
Sorry to just throw all this out there but I really don't know what else to do I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days straight lol so I look forward to hearing any advice at all.

Yes I did try that but it didn't work. I think the problem is that I don't have a ROM but I also have no way of flasing the ROM to the device because the sdcard mounts as "/sd-ext" but the bootloader will only look in "/sdcard"
Thanks anyway lol

You can't access the recovery? (if you didn't flash a recovery, download one, cwm or twrp and flash it via fastboot) if you can access it it will let you install roms

I can access the recovery via the bootloader but as I mentioned the bootloader tries to find the .zip file in "/sdcard" and my sdcard mounts to "/sd-ext" also when I try to sideload via adb all I get is the adb help screen. Its like adb sideload <filename.zip> isn't the right command.

Sorry but this sdcard and sdext is confusing, access the recovery and try to install zip from sd card (or sd ext), always put the roms in your micro sd, if from the recovery you can see the rom, then you have no problem at all. Once you install the rom, you go in the bootloader and flash the kernel, but not from the recovery, you flash it via fastboot.

Ok this makes sense. So from what I can tell the device was soft bricked and the /sdcard would not mount. I saw a fix that required the stock recovery but I couldn't get it to work however I did fix the issue by flashing the TWRPrecovery.img and formatted to ext3. Now I can flash ROMs but they keep bootlooping.
The new ROM boots up and about 2 minutes after everything is done it reboots. I have tried a few different ROMs and always wipe the data and everyhting but I cant find any answers.
Any Ideas?

You need an OTA kernel. I will do some digging and try to dig one up. I am assuming you are primou since you are using hellboy?

[Q] S-Off Recovery problem

Hello! Hi, I'm kinda new to all of this, and I downloaded all of this today. I've been reading a lot and watching a lot of videos, yet I nothing really seems to fix my devices problem.
I have a HTC One on the Verizon carrier and I have just recently S-Off'd it using Rumrunner (I used the Rom checker to make sure it was unlocked and it even says it is whenever i enter bootloader). Although I was successfully able to unlock my device, I seem to have trouble with entering into recovery mode. Whenever I try to go into Recovery mode, my device reads "Entering Recovery mode" in pink at the top for about 10-20 seconds. Then all of a sudden it just goes black and it reboots as if I had never even chosen to go into recovery mode. I don't know if this holds any significance, but I've noticed that my boot up logo only has "HTC ONE" on it, the writing "simply beautiful" is now removed.
I have tried using cmd and ADB to clear the cache, I've tried using ClockManager from Rom Manager, and I've tried multiple times on regular mode. None of them really seem to work and I don't really understand why. Can anyone please offer me some suggestions? Thank you.
Seriously I only want a transparent theme for my HTC One that's all LOL

@Cinestra hey so I'm also kind of new to this but I can try to help. So what custom recovery did you flash?

Hello, thank you i very much appreciate your advice. I did not try flashing yet.
I just tried to flash TWRP by using Fastboot and the CMD. However I still get no luck. I entered everything in the command prompt fine and it responded nicely. However, whenever I try to go to Recovery mode, the screen just says "entering recovery mode...." and then just turns black 15 seconds later and reboots again :S

when I got my phone back from sonic, twrp wouldn't install for me so I had to use CWM.
OP should probably try both and make sure he's following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45513789&postcount=2

I'm quite new to rooting as well. Seems we are having the same problem. I was able to get beaups' s-off exploit to work without any problems. When I load into HBoot it says the phone is unlocked and I've also used a Root Checker to determine the phone is rooted.
My next step was to try and install TWRP using fastboot. I ran a command prompt window using administrator rights during the whole process. Everything seemed to install just as it should. The problem is when I try to boot into recovery I'm having the same problem as Cinestra. I simply get the HTC logo screen with "Entering Recovery..." in pink letters at the top of the screen for around 15 seconds, then it reboots as if it would normally and restart the phone as usual. I have tried to reinstall the custom recovery step by step, using 'fastboot erase cache' before and after as well as using an older version of TWRP just in case that would help. Again, everything seems to install just fine but I still can not boot into recovery. I've also tried to see if the GooManager app would be of some help, but that is also not working for me.
I've since also tried flashing CWM but the same situation occurs. Install seems fine but no luck booting into recovery. ROM Manager was a no go as well.
I just can't figure this out. I've tried different cables, deleted and reinstalled HTC drivers/adb/fastboot, and multiple recovery images. I just gave beasleyj62's suggestion of holding down the power/volume down buttons after it goes to black when it starts to restart but that just put me into a bootloop sadly. Had to hold down the power button a few times to get it to boot correctly again. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
I would also just like to add a little more info on my device in case this will help troubleshoot this. I'm using a Verizon HTC One with Software Number 1.10.605.10.

Same problem here. Tried flashing from fastboot, using goomanager, using rom manager, and from within the terminal emulator (can't find the command now but i think it was on the TWRP site).
Fastboot gives every indication it works, goomanager and rom manager give an error, and the emulator method appeared to work.
Tried to fastboot both TWRP and clockworkmod but neither worked.
At work right now but still investigating...
*edit: goomanager error states 'no recoveries found for your device.'

Didn't realize they weren't supported. Sadly, I don't think they are the culprit here. I tried to flash using fastboot first. I attempted it with 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img' first then with the older version 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7.img' next. It was the same issue with both. I didn't attempt using GooManager until after I had used fastboot, though GooManager just failed to initialize the install. I mean it didn't even run or change anything as far as I can tell, and simply gave an error back saying "No recoveries were found for your advice".
Did the same thing with CWM and ROM Manager. I installed CWM from fastboot. Only after seeing the same thing happen when I tried to install TWRP did I give ROM Manager a shot. This also just gave an error message without initializing any install. Thanks for the input though.

Yeah...I tried the fastboot method first too, for both TWRP and CWM. I really doubt that is the problem.

Two thoughts:
1. Did you have any issues during the S-OFF? How many pours did it take? My thoughts here are that the S-OFF wasn't, for whatever reason, fully clean, which may suggest that you relock and S-ON your phone, and reapply Rumrunner.
2. Did you flash with the decrypted RUU? I would flash the phone with that (the link is somewhere in this subforum) and then try to flash a recovery image.

1. I think it was 3 or 4 pours. Seemed to work flawlessly.
2. Still trying to learn which includes learning what an ruu is. Maybe that is my problem. I ran rumrunner and then have been trying to flash a recovery ever since...with no other steps.

1. Nope, I had no issues while doing the S-Off. It took 3 pours for me.
2. I haven't used any RUU for this. So you suggest going back to S-On and locked, then using the RUU? Sorry, still new to the whole process so just want to be clear on procedure. Yeah, I've been considering going back to complete stock and starting from scratch again. I'll give that a go later tonight if I can't come up with anything else.
Thanks.

No, no. The only RUU available is a decrypted one, which can only be flashed while S-OFF. So the ideas I put down were distinct, and not steps. My thought is that either (i) you return yourself to full stock and non-root as is explained in a thread in this subforum, or alternatively, (ii) flash the RUU to get a fully untouched setup (the RUU contains the factory "rom", bootloader and recovery and will return it to being fresh from the factory) on the device and then flash the recovery.

1. Nope, I had no issues while doing the S-Off. It took 3 pours for me.
2. I haven't used any RUU for this. So you suggest going back to S-On and locked, then using the RUU? Sorry, still new to the whole process so just want to be clear on procedure. Yeah, I've been considering going back to complete stock and starting from scratch again. I'll give that a go later tonight if I can't come up with anything else.
Thanks.

I just tried to flash TWRP by using Fastboot and the CMD. However I still get no luck. I entered everything in the command prompt fine and it responded nicely. However, whenever I try to go to Recovery mode, the screen just says "entering recovery mode...." and then just turns black 15 seconds later and reboots again :S

I had the same problem and yesterday I posted my fix in this Forum's TWRP thread.
I had been using
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
What I really needed was
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img

I had the same problem and discovered that when i enter stock recovery, when the black screen appears, i had to press power+vol up to get it to show up. You may have to press them several times to get the timing right. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your solution, unfortunately though, it doesn't seem to work.

Hmm alright so you suggest flash this other version of TWRP instead? That would make sense because the link looks like it's specialized for Verizon. I will try that out today!

Two thoughts:
1. Did you have any issues during the S-OFF? How many pours did it take? My thoughts here are that the S-OFF wasn't, for whatever reason, fully clean, which may suggest that you relock and S-ON your phone, and reapply Rumrunner.
2. Did you flash with the decrypted RUU? I would flash the phone with that (the link is somewhere in this subforum) and then try to flash a recovery image.

1. It took me about 3 pours. That is an interesting thought and I think it may very well be valid, but I would prefer not to reset or relock my device though.
2. I have not decrypted RUU yet because I was unfamiliar with the term. I may try this if the new TWRP code does not work

@Prizm432 it looks like you are flashing the wrong Twrp zip. It has to end in m7vzw.zip

[Q] HTC Incredible 2

need help. I have a HTC Incredible 2 and followed a meticulous way to unlock the boot loader and flashed the clockworkmod recovery. Everything worked fine until I tried to flash cyanogen 10. I think the phone may be bricked because it will only rebooot to the white HTC screen. I have tried instructions and videos on youtube but I cannot figure out what to do. I did this with s-on. I have tried the RUU flashes or PG32IMG.lzip but again I cant get antwhere. Now I cant get it unlocked after the relock and it will not recognize the device in adb but does in fastboot. Anyway, will someone please help me either get back to stock or hopefully flash a new Rom to the phone. I am also new to XDA so I dont even know if this is where to post to get help.Thank you and I strongly look forward to receiving a response and help.[/B]:crying:

Flash your boot image with adb or go s off and reflash cm ...super wipe with my script also of needed
