+1. You want to flash that from H-Boot (turn on phone holding volume button down and pressing start (end) button. It should read it and ask if you want to load it. Then, after you go through the process hit the green (phone) button so you don't reboot, then hit the home button to get into recovery. It prompts you for everything. Maybe you already know this though.
Good luck. Good thing you're s-off.

thank you, that worked, again thanks alot

Emergency help boot loop

I've accidentally executed the command flashboot boot boot.img now i'm stuck in a boot loop. HELP!!!
Where does your bootloop end? Can you get into the bootloader again? If you can, you should flash the kernel again.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
You can try erasing cache first, always helps

i get a quick flash on HTC with some red text at the bottom, and then it loops
I managed to get into recovery now, by holding the home button somehow. It's TWRP. What should i do?

Could you boot into bootloader? Detach your USB cable first, then when you're in bootloader select Fastboot. Plug it in and follow the commands from my previous post~

Thanks for trying to help but i accidentally solved it.
The problem was i could not get into bootloader - it kept boot looping as soon as the phone turns out. I was screaming! In desperation i held on to capacitive buttons hoping a miracle could happen, and it went into recovery! I managed to sideload some custom ROMs and kernels, flashed both and the phone works again!
Mind you i was panicking because i just bought and rooted my phone. I tried to install recovery for the first time and botched it. Thank god it's ok now

I'm still wondering how you got into recovery without first getting to the bootloader

Please help

I rooted my HTC One international and flashed Android revolution. At the end it said "you may have lost root, do you want to fix?" I selected Yes and now my phone is in a constant reboot where its shows HTC logo and then switches off and on and shows entering recovery and off and on again back to HTC logo.
How do I force it to switch off and are there any other recovery options?
Entirely wrong section, but try holding down the power and volume down key. When it shuts down keep holding the volume down key. Should get you to the bootloader. If it just keeps rebooting no matter what, when it shuts off hold the volume down key to get to boot loader. I've had a similar thing happen. If those don't work you can PM me and I'll try throwing some other options out there.
Thank you so much, that worked!
Sorry about posting in the wrong area. I was freaking out a bit about the boot loop and in that worried frame of mind I posted in the wrong place.
Back to the problem, I can get into the bootloader now and select fastboot and my computer can connect to the phone.
At the top of the bootloader it shows ***Tempered*** and ***unlocked***.
I re-flashed the recovery but I still can't get into recovery. It just shows entering recovery then the clockworkmod recovery screen shows for a split second and then it reboots.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

flash a TWRP recovery
I ran "Fastboot erase cache" and now I can enter recovery again.
I tried re-flashing the ARHD ROM which is still on the internal storage but when the phone reboots, it keeps going back into recovery.
I did create a backup of my original ROM before I flashed ARHd but when I go to restore in ClockworkMod, it just says "Could not open directory. No files found"
What should I do?
Ok I re-flashed superuser and then immediately flashed ARHD and now it's booting again.
Very relieved. Thanks for the help.
Mods, please move the thread for me.

Hey I am having a boot and boot recovery issue

sirreal12 said:
I think I have a unique problem here. I tried to install the Holo Blur Rom using bootstrap. After I flashed it my bootup is looping and all attempts to get into Recovery mode are fail.
When I do the Power+Vol+ I get a screen with Android on it's back and the ! but nothing ever happens. I have also tried getting into the Bootstrap menu but that doesnt work either, it goes into boot up.
Do you think there is a way to save my phone still?
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Rooted
##EDIT##
I figured it out, I did not know you had to press Pwr+ Vol+ Vol- all at once. I thought it was just Pwr+ Vol+ only. Thanks!

With an unlocked bootloader, you should use CWM or Touch Recovery, nothing else as these custom roms need one or the other to install.

[CLOSED] Stuck in bootloop - Cant load a recovery

Hello,
I tried to flash Slim ROM on my TMo HTC One and I accidentally soft-bricked it.
First, I unlocked the bootloader, put the zip folder in storage and then went straight for flashing a ROM.
Since then, I am stuck in a bootloop even when I try to run recovery - I flashed TWRP.
Can anoyone help?

yes, this is pretty simple:
You can boot into your bootloader by pressing the power button for a long time and if the display turns off, press the volume down button and hope you jump into your bootloader.. try this out until you manage to get into your bootloader. If this doesn't work, you should hold your phone below a bright light so the sensor recognizes it.. then play around with your power button and volume buttons and you should be able to boot into your bootloader. Then connect your phone to the PC and use this fastbootcommand after you navigated to fastboot on your phone:
Code:
fastboot erase chache
Now you should be able to boot into your recovery..
If it helped, hit the thanksbutton or ask other questions by quoting my post so I get notified and I can answer
If you managed to enter the recovery, say it, I write further instructions... Because if I write it now and the steps above didn't work... I wrote it for no reason and yeah... just say it

thank you for your quick response, unfortunately, after erasing cache before and I still got stuck in bootloop (didnt work this time either).
Entering Recovery... appears on top of a screen and nothing happens for a long time before the phone reboots itself

I would simply reflash recovery (maybe a different one) to make sure it's not the file you have

ok.. in that case we have to do some other stuff..
Download the TWRP recovery, it's know to work better than CWM at it's current state, you can download the file for your HTC One here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 (credits to: http://teamw.in/ thanks for your awesome work!)
Then when you are in the fastboot mode, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
Then boot into recovery... and if this doesn't work too, try this command:
Code:
fastboot boot "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
If you were able to get into the recovery, or if you were not able, pls answer
!! :good: It worked and I got successfully booted the recovery, I think I was flashing a wrong version of twrp before

I can't run that command. Stuck on < waiting for device >
The device either gets stuck in bootloop or turns off. Doesn't do anything else.

Before you've flashed the rom, you must have checked your "fastboot getvar all" right? Post everything you remember from it (Version-main, cid, mid, hboot version, s-on/s-off).

This was actually done a while ago. I don't remember/don't have anything saved from back then.
I would like to wipe out everything and factory reset the phone, if possible at all.

A factory reset will only wipe the /data partition where user data is stored, it will not restore your phone from a bad flash. Without the possibility to access bootloader and without any information about your phone nor the rom you've flashed, I can't really help. Try all the usual tricks to get in bootloader mode and if you can access it there might be something to do.
OP were you able to fix this?
Im in the same sh1t hole. Had HTC laying around. Used it for few weeks and then flashed it with some rom...
Now wont turn on or go to recovery mode. Just stuck in boot screen.
same thing with < waiting for device >

Here, had a same problem with m8... What I used to do, (while it was stuck in the boot), was press volume up and the Power button. it would switched off (as a restart), and in that short period, I would release vol up and switched to Vol down button (witht the power button still pressed) to enter recovery.
not sure for m7 though, but I hope this helps...

Must of tried everything, spent a day on it. Reading google and other forums. Downloading million of files too. lol.
If only i could get phone to communicate with my computer i would have pushed something on it already but it doesn't.
Damn thing stuck in the Fastboot/Hboot screen. Will not go to recovery, keeps rebooting itself and trying again.
