[Q] Stuck in a loop (Fastboot usb screen & access to teamwin recovery)

Hello all,
I'm currently stuck and I was hoping you can help me out. To my shame I went for the "read along method of unlocking" rather than the read then unlock method which now in hindsight would have been a lot smarter.
Anyway,
I followed hasoon2000s guide to unlock the bootloader and followed that through to the letter (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904) after unlocking the phone, making a backup and installing supersu I realised that unlocking doesn't actually let the phone use any sim card. After getting an unlock code so that I can use another sim I was told that the unlock wouldn't be accepted because the phone has been rooted (tried several times, all failed).
So looking back at hasoon's guide and tried to revert the phone back to stock. As I made a backup I decided not to flash a stock RUU (maybe a big mistake?) and just restore following this:
2. Now, we will talk about restoring your nandroid backup.
Connect your phone to the computer. Open up the folder to view the files on your phone.
From your computer, Go to TWRP -> BACKUPS -> (Your hardware Serial Number) -> (Folder you wish to restore to) -> and copy boot.emmc.win to your computer. Rename boot..emmc.win to boot.img
Open my toolkit and press boot into recovery.
Click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
Press back and press Restore. Choose the backup to restore to.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You are now back to your stock Nandroid.
Followed all of the steps but now I can't get into the operating system as it just loops into the white screen (fastboot usb) I can load teamwin recovery but I'm not sure what to do with that.
I have downloaded (what I think) is a suitable RUU for the phone, but what should I do to return the phone to stock so that I can unlock the sim?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Cue

So I've managed to copy the process step by step but now I am confused.
I have the Philz Touch 5 system up and there are too many options to use from.
I went to mounts and storage and formatted /cache /data /system but now I am confused as to how I backup/install the files that I copied on to the sdcard.
What options should I click on (there are loads!)
Thanks.

Ok, phone turn off as I wanted to get back to the hboot screen.... and it is now stuck on the htc quietly brilliant white screen.
:crying:
What can i do now?
edit -phew..... held down power and volume down to get it into the hboot screen. however still confused about installing the restore

I can still get into Philz Touch 5 but am still unsure as to what I am actually restoring and the process of doing so.
(I've attached an image of the files Thant told me to download)
In Philz I go to:
-backup and restore
-restore (It then complains that it cannot open the directory clockworkmod)
So I've tried:
-Custom backup and restore
and then I am hit with more options
-Custom restore Job
-TWRP backup and restore
(plus others not restore related)
So from this point where do I go? I can get it to locate the folder where the backup files are stored, but it wants to me to pick which file to use....
very confused.

looks like the nand is CWM by memory I think you must to put all the folder to directory clockworkmod/backup and after this to try again to restore

Nothing. Still doesn't recognise any files that it can use.
Is there another angle I can look at this from? Maybe installing a rom to get the phone working again and then return the phone to stock so that I can unlock the phone (to use any sim).
Throwing this out there to anyone.
Thanks.

The nand you downloaded, check the file and folder paths. If they are not in there you can't restore it. How is it zipped ? As a .rar.....check if in the rar are the folders
Clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder\ then the files you showed in your screenshot. That's how a cwm nand should look !
Or flash any custom rom you want......could have done that already !

Thank you! I must have had a "moment" and didn't think to put the actual folder (time and date) into the backup folder. It's not restoring the system..... fingers crossed.

You must make a full wipe before you restore it. Also format cache, data and system in the mounts and storage menu !

woho!
All running (lovely!!)
So...... moving on to next problem. Unlocking the sim so that I can use my sim card. With what I currently have installed will I have any problems getting an unlock code of the internet or is there something I need to worry about (as the phone is unlocked, in terms of bootloader?)
Thanks again.

Not that i know. But i have no experience with SIM unlock on the hox.....

Oke, this is a ruu that flashes the phone back to factory stock. So all stuff will be gone so backup what you want/need
Make sure the bootloader is relocked :
Fastboot oem lock
Then keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the ruu.exe with admin rights on the pc !
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
When the ruu is done you check inside the settings menu manually for software updates and apply all updates you can get. The last one is android 4.2.2 sense 5.

right ive tried the above locked boot loader and run ruu it geets as far as signature update then get error 132 signarure error and under says please get the correct rom update and try againand now phone stuck in boot loader cant boot down to allow charge so what next thanks

Oke run this one instead
http://www.persianhtc.net/index.php...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

Ok will do will get back to you after thanks for the help at least i learning as i go lol

Oke then try the 3.14 once more if you dont get official ota's

There was a small update that worked with a larger one next but as battery low will try that one tomoz and let you no how its coming on any way of to bed thanks for helping hopefully get some more done tomoz

I installed that file link you gave was thinking of cm11 or viperx have downloaded viperX_4.0.7 and pulled out the boot image so at moment have a folder on desktop with zip viperx_4.0.7 and the boot image beside it
then found these instructions
1 Make sure your that your HBOOT is 1.31 or greater
2 Check if you CID is supported, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957376 for updates. Cheers Mike
3 Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev and install a custom recovery.
4 Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
5 Do a nandroid backup!
6 Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
7 Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
8 Go into recovery and install the ROM.
9 Please choose fullwipe if you are asked, highly recommended if you go from one rom from another rom.
10 Reboot the device and enjoy!
1 my hboot is 1.72.0000
2 ? i no my CID is HTC_001 according to CID Getter dont no what that means ?

Nice words there mate, enjoy the phone !

I have tried all 3 of the firmware backup roms (including the 1.2 one) from the stock nandroid backups.
Please can someone help ive been trying to do this for about 8 hours now.
EDIT:
Hello,
I tried again to flash to stock. I tried versions 1.12 stock and 1.54 to go back, using 2.7.02 TWRP (2.7.0.1 doesnt boot) and it still says failed.
Anyone know how to work around this or help me get to stock. I want to update my phone to latest version!

looking in this wrong corner mate, you need a backup from the voda cid. your official version is not 2.22.401 !
check the backup thread and compare by CID and not by buildnumber of your custom rom
and BTW read the whole OP there. its literally written there what to do, take the time for it. hboots, software numbers and cids.....its all explained

saw that ? its not rocket science, just simple look & compare. my 6 year old does this also in pre school
think you have info info now to try again.
cheers

No need to try and make me look silly loool. The first few lines in my post say I have tried the versions starting 1.54 and 1.2.. I got them from the VOPAP001 section. Those are the ones which are giving me a failed attempt.
Everytime I flash it it just says failed and error mounting E:/cache. I looked up the error I was receiving and based off what I read it seemed I was using the wrong rom so I came over here to ask.
SO the question with the 2.22 was just another attempt as trying something that might work.
Could you suggest something else please?
EDIT: Also does it matter what version of twrp I am using? 2.8.3 doesnt boot, gets stuck in white screen, 2.8.1 doesnt get into white screen, thats the one i have flashed as recovery

sorry not once tried to make you look silly.
cheers.

No worries!
Update:: I have tried to use 1.54 from htc_001 CID as well as the ones from VODAP001 however I still get failed.
Anyone have any clue as to why this is??
THanks!

use an older twrp 2.7 range. the newer ones are compiled differently and therefore doesn't work on your lower hboot.
restore the 1.12 voda nand and flash back the matching stock recovery. then ota up again

The "error mounting E:/cache" always happens after you have flashed a recovery and erased cache (TWRP prints it 3 times on my phone)
The failed usually means your download was corrupt or it was created with a different recovery than what your using, if the recovery was created with Phils you can't restore it with TWRP. Also are you restoring the backup from the ext_sd or the internel sdcard or a usb-otg. Are you MD5 checking your downloads ?
If your having problems with the recovery partition also you phone may have damaged partitions ..have a look at mike1986 fix

I am using twrp for the recovery, does it matter which version of twrp i use or does it have to be the same version the one where the backup was made?
Thanks for the second link as well, whenever I try to restore my data from previous backup it fails at 85%, ill see if that fixes it.
Thanks for your help, will post with an update once tried.

Like Mr Hofs said the older version of TWRP may be all you need

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717932

Hello,
I tried again to flash to stock. I tried versions 1.12 stock and 1.54 to go back, using 2.7.02 TWRP (2.7.0.1 doesnt boot) and it still says failed.
Anyone know how to work around this or help me get to stock. I want to update my phone to latest version!

1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
2. Download TWRP backup 1.54.161.10 - https://mega.co.nz/#!HJ0AlKjJ!ex5IiqKhUnsZBPKdJlVvToU6-htL2QtjAjuxsP1QS6o
3. Download stock 1.54.161.10 recovery - http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/1.54.161.10_recovery.img/download
4. Extract the downloaded TWRP_1.54.161.10.rar on PC
5. Transfer the extracted TWRP_1.54.161.10 folder (the last folder) and its content to the backup path on your device
6. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
7. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
8. In reboot menu select bootloader
9. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery 1.54.161.10_recovery.img
10. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
11. repeat step 10 until the last OTA 4.19.161.2
12. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 after last OTA 4.19.161.2

Hi
I running venoms 3.20 rom and want to go to 4.2 but with being s-on I cant just update the firmware
I have tried to use a stock recovery backup but it doesn't work I don't get any OTA updates for the new firmware
I don't really know which way to go either with a stock recovery or a nan droid backup to get me back to stock
I have tried different stock recovery's but im not sure on the ones I need I have tried 3.28.401.9 and 3.29.161.5 stock recovery's
not sure which nandroid back to use or where to put it on my sd card
ckpv5 the answer you gave seems straight forward to follow I just need to know the stock recovery and nandroid back up versions I think
the one c1scolici got for me are the ones I think
I not bothered if I have to go back to stock I just need the latest firmware to upgrade to the new rom

stuck on a problem with supersu
Hi guys
its going great im just stuck on the root bit its saying my device isn't rooted and do I want to install supersu this will root my device
I don't know if to install or not I do need to be rooted for the venom 4 rom
sorry to ask guy
many
thanks
Benitez1:good::good:

You don't need to root it because a custom ROM is pre-rooted.
You just need TWRP installed and install custom ROM zip ... that's all
Eh.. I thought someone said he promise to not be a total noob next time

Thankyou
Cheers
yes it really shows you how much I know
promise not to be
thanks again
Benitez1:silly::silly:

Factory reset doesn't affect the ROM in any way. It just wipes user data.
Just follow the steps as they have been given to you, don't skip anything, no need to add anything. It doesn't say anything in the steps about doing a factory reset.

I don't think there is a need to start over. Just do steps 8 and 9.
Maybe you did do all the steps. For whatever reason, you are still on custom recovery (TWRP) and not stock recovery (stock recovery is needed for OTA). Sometimes recovery will just fail to flash. So fastboot erase cache, then do steps 8 and 9 again (flash stock recovery, then do the OTA).

Again, don't make up steps. Don't do anything you haven't been told to do.
Relocking the bootloader is not necessary at any point in this process. It actually puts you in worse position than before. Do NOT do it.

Thanks sorry once again
Hi redpoint73
many thanks for the information and help
I will have to start from scratch as I did a full factory wipe and lost my stock recovery from the internal storage I should have put it on the external sd card
I know I did all the steps and was just waiting for the software update to verify it had down loaded that's when its reboots to twrp recovery
on the stock recovery I have to start like its a new phone the only thing is supersu keeps asking to be installed which I didn't do
yes I will just follow the steps given to me to the letter
I also have to backup the boot and just the boot section which is correct I think for the twrp and serial number to put the twrp file there
will update soon and hopefully wont have anymore hassle I cant promise I wont be back
sorry
cheers

First of all, if you wiped internal storage, you did something that was not in the instructions.
Second, you don't need the stock recovery file on the phone at all to flash it. It goes in the fastboot folder on your PC (wherever fastboot.exe located).

If you are referring to TWRP asking you to root, that is normal anytime you use TWRP with an unrooted ROM. Just ignore it.

We don't mind helping you (I personally enjoy helping others), and we don't mind you coming back. Just make sure you try your best to understand the steps, follow them closely, and if you come back, its for a good reason.

Hi guys

After restore, do OTA

I know this thread is almost a month old, but I figured I'd post here since I found it through Google.
I have the same story as AbdulJohn (Canadian WIND htc One with no stock backup) and I was wondering if anybody could help.
My software version is 3.34.1500.4
