I've been trying to flash an AT&T HTC One M8 with the GPe ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
I've used this guide and everything went fine: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-m8-0154444/
I was in the TWRP Recovery and wanted to format the internal sd card for a fresh start, so I formatted. Afterwards I was unable to get back into the recovery, for some reason I can't erase or format recovery using fastboot, erasing the cache and flashing the recovery image again only brings me to a flickering TeamWin screen, then tries to normally boot but nothing is there for it to boot into so it just sits in a boot loop.
I've tried Philz recovery as well. That works for a little bit but after 10-15 seconds the phone tries to boot normally again and I get stuck in the boot loop.
I tried running `fastboot oem rebootRUU`, that brought me to a black HTC screen and gave me the ability to use fastboot. In RUU mode, I erased the cache again and reflashed the recovery, then erased the cache again and rebooted to fastboot. Tried to boot into Recovery and was greeted with the flickering TeamWin logo and a boot loop.
Can anyone give me a hand here?
If fastboot erase cache doesn't allow you to get into recovery, I can only suggest you're flashing the wrong or a corrupted recovery. Re-download the correct one and flash it.

I was using arhd
Flashed aokp icecoldjelly - booted fine
powered down into recovery
ran superwipe
booted into bootloader
flashed arhd boot.img
tried to boot into recovery and stuck at htc splash
holding power causes the buttons to flash a few times and the screen shuts off for a second and then gets stuck at htc splash screen again
Sorry about the weirdly formatted post. I made the checklist of things I did so that i could get help. Adb and fastboot are unable to see the device.
Thanks
Edit: I got into fastboot and tried reflashing the recovery. As soon as i tried to boot into recovery again, the same thing happened as above.
Have you tried "fastboot erase cache" without the commas

yuppp finally got it working! thanks.
So you flashed the ROM, and THEN superwiped it? Or is your list of things not chronological?
the list of things is chronological. I fastboot wiped cache and the recovery finally stuck so i was able to restore my nandroid
So, my wife's Droid Incredible, went into a bootloop. It was completely stock, no modifications done, but while she was using it, it just started rebooting over and over again..it won't get past the first splash screen without rebooting.
At first, I thought it might have overheated, but evidently this is not the problem.
So I've been messing with it..I am able to get it into hboot (version 1.07), which I was able to unlock through hdev. I tried flashing CWM through fastboot, but the phone won't boot into recovery.
So could someone direct me to how to fix it? If I could put a stock image on the sdcard that hboot would install, would that work? Where would I find this image?
Thanks in advance.
Here is the information in hboot:
UNLOCKED
INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.07.0000
MICROP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.10.12.20

So you "tried" flashing CWM through fastboot. What exactly did you do, and what, if any, was the error? And how are you trying to get into recovery?
If you flash the recovery correctly, you should be able to get into recovery.

Okay, I did flash the recovery, with fastboot flash recovery. To boot into recovery, I am going back to the bootloader and selecting recovery. What happens is the device reenters bootloop at that point.
Update: I have now tried using PB31IMG.zip from here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.2/ by putting onto Fat32 sd card which then does get installed in hboot. When trying to boot the system, the bootloop is unchanged. However, now when I try to boot recovery, instead of looping, the boot freezes on the htc incredible splash screen.

Sounds like your recovery flash didn't take. Try putting this file on the root of a FAT32 formatted sdcrard, and then try to get into recovery.

Thanks for the help. So I went into hboot, hboot found the file, reflashed the recovery, then tried to boot into recovery but the same bootloop occurs. The splash screen htc incredible splashes, it goes black, vibrates, and splashes again until I pull the battery.
Is there anything else to try? Could I somehow replace the bootloader?
So I've tried a few more things now, still no joy -- using fastboot, I issued the following commands to flash an RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name.zip>
However, the flash always fails.
I have also tried to use fastboot to erase the recovery.
fastboot erase recovery
Strangely, it fails when I do this, although it reports that it works when I tell it to flash a recovery image. Although I still can't boot into recovery.
However, I finally got hboot to flash one of the system roms by putting it on the sdcard (4.08.605.15 ) . Strangely enough, this worked only after I relocked the bootloader with fastboot. However, after this the situation remains unchanged.
After a long string of flashing failures with this device, I'm needing to update the recovery.
Unfortunately after it let me downgrade the recovery, no matter what recovery I flash (CWM latest or TWM) for the HTC One X, the god damn older version is still there.
I've tried updating it through One X One Click and CWM itself. But I have no idea what's going wrong or what's needed to be done.
[Edit]
Okay, it seemed to install with no errors this time.
Now I just have to figure out why the heck it always displays "HTC quietly brilliant" forever.

so, which recovery did you install? which rom are you trying to install?
Recovery. Img is to be flashed through fastboot and not in recovery itself
Go in your fastboot folder
Open cmd there and give commands
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Fastboot erase cache
And you're good to go :thumbup:

Hello,
I have the same problem;
I was on recovery CMW 6.0.4.4. I tried to update to 6.0.4.5 or philz. Fastboot says okay after install, but when I restart to recovery, recovery is still 6.0.4.4.
What I haven't done is erase cache. Could this be it? Cannot try for the moment because I'm at work.
Thanks

yes, it might be... try to flash again recovery and to erase cache after OKAY message...
I tried it again with fastboot and than erase cache : doesn't work
Than I copied the recovery zip file to sdcard and installed it through clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.4. Everything installed ok but when I reboot recovery it is still 6.0.4.4?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The zip is of no use, the recovery.img has to be flashed via fastboot (s-on devices have no other choice) try to flash a different recovery to check that works. Maybe the recovery is a bad download
I've found the solution.
It was a problem with my fastboot extension.
Thanks anyway
I'm selling my HTC One (stock ROM, unlocked) so I wanted to wipe my data, apps and settings. I performed a factory reset/data wipe in CWM and rebooted and it would get stuck at the Verizon logo. I cleared cache, tried again, and got stuck at "Android is updating, Starting apps" for a good 20 minutes. Now it goes back to the Verizon logo.
Does the factory reset not leave the ROM intact? What can I do now just so it'll boot to a clean slate?

Download the stock rooted odexed ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
After you flash it, wipe data and boot up.
Then flash the latest firmware and stock recovery through Fastboot (also that thread), and do another factory wipe using stock recovery.
Your S-Off / Unlocked status will not be affected by this.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I've been at it for a good 5 hours now and I can't get past the first step.
Using TWRP, I've tried adb push <rom.zip> to /sdcard/, /mnt/sdcard/ and /data/media/ and every time it says it's successful, but the directories show up empty in TWRP. Without a removable SD card, I'm not sure how else I can get the ROM on the phone for flashing. I'm not sure if it's related or not, but everytime I reboot from TWRP, it says my phone isn't rooted. I select "Install" but it occurs again, even though supersu.apk is on the internal storage.
I also tried CWM but couldn't get past "format () expected 5 args, got 4. Installation aborted (Status 7)".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get TWRP to flash the ROM? Thanks.
Try this cmd instead.
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip /data/media/0/nameofrom.zip

I recently returned my phone to stock in order to reset all the firmware and RIL data. Here is how I did it:
Enter recovery TWRP 2.6.3.4 (if you have 2.6.3.3 you may experience issues)
Boot into recovery, then format Data, System, Cache, and Internal Storage (this will leave the phone with NO ROM installed)
Reboot back into recovery. Answer No to the prompt to root your device.
Once back in recovery, Internal Memory will be available again (if you push the ROM before rebooting, it will not be there afterward)
Push the ROM using adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip (this will take 5-7 minutes for a 1.4GB file)
Flash the ROM in TWRP
Reboot when done, phone should boot up corrrectly
Reboot into Fastboot, push firmware.zip package
Reboot into ROM verify connectivity
Reboot into Fastboot, push stock recovery
Reboot into stock recovery, perform a Factory Reset
Boot into ROM
Once you are up and running on the latest 4.4.2 ROM with stock recovery, boot into Fastboot one last time and push TWRP 2.6.3.4. Your S-Off will not be affected and the new owner will be able to flash any ROMs they like.
If all of the above fails, then try using ADB Sideload from the Advanced menu in TWRP.
You guys are a life saver. TWRP 2.6.3.4 did the trick, it just wasn't available on the TWRP site so I didn't install it in the first place. Flashed the ROM and everything back to normal! Thanks for the help!
FWIW, none of the m7 versions of TWRP would load (stuck at "Entering Bootloader" screen). The Sprint version would load, but wouldn't mount the filesystem properly.

So what state is the phone in now? Stock w/ HTC recovery, or the Sprint TWRP?

The former, stock. The Sprint TWRP loaded but didn't work right. I ended up finding 2.6.3.4 for VZW m7 on an xda thread, it's not on the TWRP site for some reason. That worked great.

Excellent. Glad to see it all worked out.
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.
