[Q] Stuck on splash after Hboot flash

Edit - Problem was after flashing hboot I could not boot into recovery .... I tried multiple recovery images AmonRa and Cwm but it would never boot.
Solved - I have no idea how, I downloaded the recovery image again with the same link as the previous images, all md5sums were ok, but the 4th download worked and I was able to flash + boot into recovery again? Do I have some other problem though because I don't see why it took so many flashes for me to be able to access recovery again?

Reboot to recovery - stuck on splash??? Using Reflex S...
Edit - After trying to boot to recovery, sat on splash screen for 40 mins and then my bootanimation randomly started... everything is just back to normal?
I can't seem to be able to flash recovery though, it just doesn't boot into it?! I've tried a couple of images and checked md5sum's but it always sticks on splash??

hmm that's strange, suppose you could try to flash a different HBOOT, then try a different recovery - that's what I'd do anyway

[Q] Help: Can't relock, can't flash via fastboot

UPDATE: Still no solution found - new Ideas very welcome.
Hi there,
I'm at the end of my wits with my HOX which is with a german o2 branding. After getting stuck in bootscreen after athe OTA-Update from 1.26.207.2 to 1.28.207.9 - which failed for some reasons. I tried to install different Custom-Roms, none of which would boot beyond the first HTC-Screen.
The latest one I tried was Cyanogenmod, that did boot fully but I got constant "andoidupi crashed" messages, so I tried to reflash it.
After that things got weird, because right now I can't really do anything anymore. If I try to relock it via "Fastboot oem lock" it just reboots and it boots straight into CWM 5.8.3.1 but when I get back to bootloader its still "**** UNLOCKED ****"
I can flash boot.imgs via fastboot flash... but even so its says at the command prompt that it was successful flashed, it really isnt. No matter what - at reboot I will boot into CWM.
It is like working on a virtual machine - the HOX gives all the right responses, but noting I try to flash is permanent.
I can't relock, I can't flash new recoverys, can't flash new boot.img and everything I push onto the SDCARD via adb is gone after reboot. If I delete a file that is actually on the SDCARD it will be back after reboot, like it was never really deleted.
I already checked my drivers, switched off Antivir, tried it on a different PC, reinstalled the drivers etc etc.
My HOX is from German o2
I've got HBOOT 0.94.0000 and Radio 1.1204.90.13
If anyone has any suggestions besides "You have to fastboot flash recovery/boot..." and "Don't forget to erase cache after every flash" I'd be very thankfull
Best regards,
Thad

did you try to re-download your fastboot ?
and did you navigate on CMD to the right place where your fastboot folder is stored ?

You need to flash the stock recovery before you relock your bootloader.
Flash stock recovery
Relock bootloader
Install ruu
Hope this helped
EDIT: Just read your post again and you said you've tried flashing recoveries, sorry, its late here

@muamers
I redownloaded fastboot multiple times, but its all the same, sadly The problem is: It seems to work. I get all the right replies on the command prompt, but after rebooting nothing is flashed.

I retried all the steps there, but still no change.
The problem still is the same. This is what I get in response:

So everything should've worked out great. But not so, because in reality he really hasn't flashed anything to the HOX permanently. When I reboot to recovery I still have the OLD CWM without fixes. The boot.img isn't flashed either.
As I said: It's like working on a virtual machine, where nothing really has any effects, it's a if all the fastboot commands only affect the RAM but are not really flashed to Memory.
And I still can't relock, still can't reboot-bootloader from Bootloader.
Any other ideas are welcome...
Greetings,
Thad

Bump.
Nobody any more ideas?

Bump. Still no solution after many month

are you doing
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or
fastboot boot recovery.img
I'm not sure the second one works, but if it did, it would do what you describe. So do the first.

. i think i flashed the boot.img , at least one of them, i did a lot of flashing , trying to recover from my mistakes

okey here we go, first flash this recovery (for working touch in recovery)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
then you flash the boot.img from the rom.zip (copy it again to the fastboot folder and make sure its the correct one)
then enter the recovery and perform a full wipe
- factory reset (full)
- wipe cache partition
- ADVANCED - wipe dalvik cache
- MOUNTS & STORAGE - format cache, data, system
then install the rom.zip and reboot

Can't boot to recovery (no ROM installed...)

Hi guys, I would like to ask for a help. I was on New Layout (SlimKat 9.0). I wanted to try something at Old Layout ROM, so like a stupid I wiped everything (cache, data and system thru recovery), then I flashed fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win (Old Layout Backup) and Old Layout TWRP.
But after that, I can't access recovery (I only see picture of TWRP for 1 second, then it reboots with bootloop). So I flashed New Layout TWRP again together with fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win (I got backups from Old & New Layout).
Then I tried
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
fastboot flash system system.ext4.win
fastboot erase cache
but nothing helps. I am simply without ROM and accessible recovery. Anybody has idea what to do please? Thx a lot!

"fastboot flash recovery" went OK but the recovery didn't change

. . I have an old One X here, unused for a looong time. Recently I tried to update it and started the process by updating my Recovery (to TWRP 2.6.3.0). Soon after that I found out that most new ROMs have a new partitioning schema and I needed to switch. When trying to update the recovery, I used the fastboot flash and it went ok:
Code:
$ ./fastboot flash recovery /d/twrp2853-BiG.img

OKAY [1.134s]

. . After that I did the "fastboot erase cache":
Code:
$ ./fastboot.exe erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.213s]
finished. total time: 0.213s
. . Then I rebooted into recovery directly--I know about ROMs that flash the stock recovery when first booting, but this is not applicable to this case since I'm in a custom ROM and booting directly to recovery--, but it is still the old recovery (2.6.3.0). I tried flashing older recoveries (2.6.1.0) and repeating the process every way I could think of (more "erase caches", more "flash recovery"ies etc) but I'm stuck in this 2.6.3.0 version. The weird thing is that I flashed this version yesterday and it went all smoothly, no problems at all (flash recovery, erase cache, reboot).
. . Any tips or ideas why it is not working anymore? I want to update it to change to the new layout so I can flash new ROMs, but this it really blocking the process.

Did you try to wipe your HOX including /data as well as /system partition? This - in the guide if how to achieve new storage layout - is one of the important prerequisites and done prior to flashing the TWRP.BIG
