[Q] Phone wont boot into ROM properly

HTC Vivid
I am new to this so i know I'm probably just doing something stupid. I searched the other forums but i couldn't find what i needed for my phone.
The WiFi on my phone wouldn't work and i read that flashing a new ROM onto the phone could fix that problem. I rooted the phone and tried to flash a ROM. The first ROM i downloaded didnt have a boot.img. So i flashed the entire zip file. I did a factory reset on CWM recovery because i was in a bootoop and now i try to install another ROM it wont work.
I also wiped the cache partition, formated the /cache, /data, and /system following this fourm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754
The ROM still didnt work properly. Help plz???

Unzip rom, take boot.img out of it, and fastboot flash boot.img should get you ready to roll.

it just goes to a black screen on startup. would this be because the ROM isnt finished/working?

When you reboot it just goes to black screen? If I was u just relock the bootloader, and flash stock ruu, than unlock it again, install twrp, flash rom, flash boot.img, wipe cache and dalvik, reflash boot.img, and reboot and you're good to go!

I hate when people fail to mention to obvious noobs that they need a stock recovery to run the RUU. I found that out the hard way when I decided to attempt it because I got tired of being stuck in a bootloop.

weird problem

For some reason now
Any recovery I flash won't stick,
what i mean by this is that it boots into the recovery for a quick second (I can see it) , then reboots into the htc logo splash and hangs
(this is due to me wiping Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, and System)
help please?
The only safe screen I can be on is bootloader, and I do have fastboot but if I do adb devices it's empty.
Also I used Hansoons 2000 HTC Vivid All-in-one Kit and I'm able to use commands such as
"boot into bootloader" and flash both of the recovery's provided.
But when I do "boot into recovery" I get the same problem of it booting for less then 5 secs, then reboots.

Fastboot erase cache
Then re-flash a recovery that you know works. Ex. TWRP or WCX
That should fix you.

Worked.
Thank you esloan

Let me know if it works and how you done it that would be great thanks

Working with flyhalfs touch (CWM) version, everything is fine.
After flashing the recovery u should fastboot erase cache.
If u got no rom on SD u should connect an OTG before booting into recovery and flash zip from external sd.

erasing the cache solved the problem. thanks helmut!

Mine still not having it it's saying tampered and unlocked any ideas

Flash this
Then flash it from cmd with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
If there are still problems, rename CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img to "recovery.img" and use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
LG, Helmut

When you flash the recovery.img, was it successful and did you wipe the cache afterward?
Are you able to enter the bootloader then select Recovery, does it try to enter recovery then reboots?

Try flashing a different recovery to the one you have installed.

I seem to be having the exact same problem. Really starting to annoy me, I need to root my phone already haha!
Did you end up getting it to work?
Cheers!

same problem here....tried alle the recommended recoveries, but none worked for me.
When i flashed recovery it says all succeded, then i try to get into recovery, but it still reboots, htc logo appears, than for about 4-5 seconds the screen stays black and then there comes the t-mobile carrier logo and boot sound :/

according to the TWRP thread, it doesn't seem to be supported yet
I've got the same problem with the non working recovery. I now tried the CWM Touch AND Classic Recovery v6.0.3.0.
I tried to flash them with the All in One Tool by Hasoon 2000 and also manually with CMD commands (fastboot flash recovery & afterwards fastboot erase cache). It always said flash successful, but it's not able to boot into recovery.
I've got a Swiss HTC One Branded by Swisscom (which seems to use a vodafone CID: VODAP110).
My Build Number is 1.28.161.7 CL162357 release-keys
may that cause the problem?

I somehow got it to work. I didn't make any changes (that I can remember) but I tried it the next day again, booting into recovery with the HTC One (M7) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0, and it just worked!
Hopefully you guys can get it to work somehow too!

HA! I finally got it.
Just don't try to flash recovery as recovery, flash it as a boot img. CWM touch and TWRP was NOT working for me, but normal CWM does.
But it seems to be some issues with ADB, so please wait until i got my Guide ready

just to be sure:
you used "fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-m7.img" and it worked?
I don't want to mess up my phone, because I can't backup my current boot.img...

htc one not booting

So yesterday I decided to reinstall my ARHD 30 as many of my apps were crashing.So after installing without wiping the data it asked me that as root wasn't available would I like to root it?I selected yes and after rebooting it got stuck on HTC screen and then again rebooted to recovery.
So I installed the ROM again and this time selected no for the root option.So after rebooting it same thing happened but this time when it enters recovery the recovery screen just flashes and the same thing keeps happening.I can open the bootloader though. what is happening?I think I have deleted the recovery but I am not sure.I hope that my device isn't bricked.

maybe a bad download, download again, check MD5 sum, I also think you'll need to do a WIPE in the installer.

just download a recovery again, and flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY

After the flash of recovery have you did an erase cache?
If not, try it:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
.

It wasn't hung, it was formatting and you interrupted the process. Do a fastboot erase system then boot back into recovery and format system, but let it run this time. What CWM version did you flash?
