help, i'm really stuck!

Hi guys,
I rooted my HOX using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843585 . It went ok.
Then I flashed the jb rom, also went perfect. Because i really like sense i wanted to flash the viper rom, then everything went terribly wrong.
I flashed it and when it finished the device began bootlooping. I pressed the on/off button and volume down to boot into recovery, when i select recovery it tries to open but then the device shuts down and begins bootlooping again. So i cannot get in to recovery. I tried to reset recovery using the hox disaster recovery tread, but when i type the commands in cmd it keeps saying failed.
Is my phone ruined now? can this be fixed? can someone please help me or tell me where i can get help?
I tried using the search function but i didn't find anything, i actually don't really know what to search for... :crying:
I really hope someone has a anwser for me .
Thanks in advance.

If your recover doesn't work, have you tried reflashing clockworkmod recovery via fastboot?
Also, did you wipe data/factory reset before you changed ROMs?

your phone phone is ok since he is unlocked. the bootloop is caused by wrong boot, have you made a back up for the .
Here what you will do:
1-hold power+ vol down until you get the bootloader menu.
2-go to hboot and hit power to access fastboot.
3-connect your phone via USB (you should get fastboot usb).
4-get the boot.img file from the ROM viper copy it and paste in a folder name it for ex fastboot.
5-Enter to this folder, Hold alt+shift and click right click and chose open command window here.
6-type "fastboot erase cache", should write ok.
7-type "fastboot flash boot boot.img", should write ok
8-reflash your rom again via recovery choose fullwipe in aroma installation.
9-reboot your phone.

open command prompt. type c:\whereveryourfastbootis\fastboot erase cache

as long as you can boot into bootloader(and its unlocked), and you didnt flash stuff for a different phone you're OK

I think i tried, but i will try again, probably did something wrong.
Yes i did a factory reset. I think it went wrong because i had a custom kernel and did a full wipe.

Don't worry, when recovery tries to load and the phone reboots it means you need to fastboot erase cache. i had the same problem when switching to a jelly bean rom and kernel. the factory reset wont help this.

Thank you for comferting me , obviously i don't know much about flasing roms (and i'm a girl so i have the forces of nature against me) fist time i tried to root and flash a custom rom on my desire hd it took me over one week , because i didn't understand anything and had to google every single word in the guide. I just try to follow the guides step by step and then it goes ok, but if something unexpected happens i'm really lost . I'm so glad i could get help here .
Thank you guys so much for helping me out, i wish there is something i could do in return.

Also, if you get stuck on bootloop after unlocking bootloader (This happened to me couple times), do a factory reset in stock recovery to fix:
Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method and working CWM, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery!

So the CWM that was just updated by Koushik on CWM does not work properly or does it work? Was asking based on this
While CWM Recovery is still being fixed

Edit: There's no driver issue if it were on a Mac right? Especially adb sideloading the CWM SuperSu zip?

How do I flash the stock recovery? CWM isn't working and I tried to update the driver like in the video but couldn't find the "manta" that I needed to update. I'm just stuck in bootloop animation now. I'm downloading the stock image right now to try and flash it back to stock..

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!

I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd
*edit
I cleared cache through cmd and i got to the red triangle...thank ****ing the lord. DTWAZERE, I will remember tonight. Thank you for your help.

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

How do we get back to stock? Might need to reattempt this.

If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!
NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

THIS WORKED!!
Youre a genius. thanks!

When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed. Am I missing something? Also if i try to do fastboot flash recovery it gives me an error message stating that it cannot determine the image filename for the recovery image.

Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
and downloaded the Nexus 10 file. extracted, and the actual files in the Nexus10Root folder.
Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.
After the 3rd command it booted right into android!

[Q] Have I bricked my phone?

I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader on my phone, I then followed this online guide (Im not allowed to post the link) to flash a stock android rom to it, I followed all the steps but I when I went to reboot my phone It said something about no os installed but at that point i'd already hit continue. It then told me I needed something to root my phone so I selected install and let my phone reboot. It hit the splash screen for HTC and froze. None of the buttons work and neither fastboot or adb is recognising the device as connected. I made a TWRP recovery but currently can't do anything about it as my phone is just stuck on the splash screen.
Can someone help me reboot my phone when its frozen?

Hold both volume buttons and power button until the device vibrates and reboots. Then you can immediately hold volume down to access to bootloader, and from bootloader you can access recovery.

Thanks so much man, I'm back in the twrp recovery but now I have a new problem. The Lollipop ROM I transferred to my phone's internal storage isn't working . I flash it but when I go to reboot it says no OS installed. But I wiped the system and data partitions in the process so how do I recover my stock backup or how do I get a new rom on my phone

Flash newest TWRP, it has MTP support so you can get any other rom ZIP you want on the phone and then flash it.

Thanks mate, I actually sorted it by mounting the storage when plugged into my PC and that allowed me to transfer the zipped file which worked perfectly.

Does this happen to anyone else? Can't access TWRP unless I flash it

So the only way I can get to TWRP is by flashing it.
Everytime I do the button combination to go to recovery while the phone is off, it takes me to the LG thing and says "would you like to reset to factory settings?" and only says "yes" or "no."
No TWRP at all.
If I choose yes, then all my data is gone. If I choose no, then nothing happens.
The only way I can get to TWRP is to go on fastboot, and do "fastboot boot twrp.img"
If I do "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then it does nothing.
Any help is appreciated.

You can either try this, or you maybe need another method. I had the same problem when I installed TWRP on 6.0. It didn't seem to be properly installed. What I did was
- Use LGUP to go back to 5.1 Stock ROM
- Root it following THESE instructions
- Install TWRP (Works flawlessly on 5.1 and you can use Quick Boot from the play store to check if it works)
- And THEN Upgrade to 6.0 with autoprime's Guide --> THIS one
After I did this I had rooted 6.0 with TWRP working. Maybe this will solve your problem. Cheers

the recovery is there, just say yes and yes and it will load

It just wipes my phone.

If you're at TWRP, reboot with it into TWRP again. Just follow the instructions and deny SU-things, you get presented. You can also flash SuperSU through it, boot up, install Flashify and install TWRP with it - also works great (did it this way). Just download TWRP from the official source & don't download it through Flashify.

You have only copy the twrp-xxx.img to your internal storage or sd card.
Boot via adb into TWRP, go to install, choose the twrp-xxx.img flash it as revovery and thats it.
Now you can rebooter apps to boot direcly into recovery or use the power down/power key combination during while you power the phone.

What have I done to my phone? - TWRP.

Good evening all.
I must have done somethingto my phone... as, when I install TWRP, it boots for the fist time, but then it disappears and all recovery boots go to stock recovery
Could it be a matter of partitions?
Thanks a lot.

Many thanks for your reply. This is why I am so disoriented about the cause...
I have flashed twrp for years on various phones: HTC, Samsung, Motorola... I do exactly as per your instructions, I get the OK after the flash, reboot and it is there. Reboot again.... and back to stock

Once you entered twrp for the first time did you swipe to allow modifications?
If using stock rom you also need to disable dm-verity or your phone will not boot

Maybe the stock rom is flashing stock recovery whenever you boot into it? Try flashing twrp while using a custom rom and see if it still boots to stock recovery instead of twrp.
