[Q] Help please - cannot boot or load into recovery [SOLVED]

I have an HTC One which was rooted and running Android Revolution 4.2.
Tonight decided to install 4.5 and, after a few freezes in Aroma Installer, thought I had the update working.
Installer seemed to crash around 70% through install then screen went black and it went to recovery. I went to hit reboot when it was that I had possibly lost root and did I want to fix that. I then decided to hit the back button as opposed to fix or continuing to reboot so I could figure out what was going on.
The screen went black and now the phone is stuck in a loop. It attempts to boot up, fails, tries to boot into recovery which momentarily flashes the logo of recovery before crashing. I can get into boot loader and tried reflashing recovery but no joy.
Really appreciate any help in trying to fix this....

fastboot erase cache turned out to be all I needed. I have been playing with phones for a while and really thought I'd bricked this one!!!

If you can get into hboot all is not lost then. Have you tried wiping the cache and existing recovery before flashing the new one?

Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
Select CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]
Select CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_lo w_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]
Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!

I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

[solved] Can't enter recovery after 'format system' in CWM

Hey guys,
I may just have the most stupid thing I could possibly do. I've got a soft-rooted Xperia SP (TowelRoot) and opened CWM Recovery to try to install Cyanogenmod. It cited I had to 'format system' and I rebooted the phone thereafter. Now it's stuck on the Sony Logo and I can't get it into recovery anymore. Even by force-rebooting via the hardware button on the back I can reboot the phone, but it stucks at the sony logo.
Please help, I haven't got a clue..
Update: I can get into fastboot mode. However, my bootloader is still locked.

when you wipe data the cmw is gone....best thing to do now is to flash stock ftf ROM via flashtool ...go here and panic

Well, I'm glad all android phones have a fast boot mode, which I was used to with my previous HTC One X. I Quickly fast boot flashed a new boot.img and I had CWM back on. Then I installed CyanogenMod and I was done. Pretty easy in fact.

Pressing power button it stuck on LG logo with unlocked boot loader msg. not going to the bootloop.
I am unable to enter download mode, it responds but freeze before entering download showing 4 blue dots.
I am able to enter recovery but I can not hard reset as it always freezes on 2nd hard reset screen and not formatting.
No charging, Device Manager shows nothing.
Is there a way to recover??
I am not sure, If this is some hardware issue or emmc fault , Please help me on this..

Note 4 Wont Boot (Really need help with this one)

My dad dropped and cracked his Note 4. I need to boot it up to get the data off it.
For some reason it wont boot to recovery, it gives me the blue text but it just boot loops after. I cannot get it to boot to the OS either.
I can get to download mode, i already tried flashing the firmware through odin. After doing so, it goes to recovery to install the system update, but then freezes 1/4th the way through and boot loops again.
I cant flash a custom recovery because the FRP lock stops me.
The only thing i have access to without a problem is Download mode. Can anyone please help me get this thing booted so i can recover the data?
Thank you!
