Dear All,
After i installed CMW Recovery and rooted, i install 4EXT recovery updater and install the recovery.
But i still cannot enter into 4EXT recovery mode.
Whenever i go into recovery, it goes directly to CMW.
Is there anything i am missing or do i need to install again?
Can some mod edit the title ? i forgot to add it.. thank
Thanks

Just flash the 4EXT recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to the recovery.img file]
It is best to just copy the recovery.img file to the directory where you run FASTBOOT.exe from.

Thank you for your help. it solved now.
One more thing is, after i run the downloadgrade script, it successfully done and ask me to run the RUU.
But when i turn on the phone, it stuck at bootloader screen with "RELOCKED" status
according to the guides, i tried to run the RUU but it say to plug the device even i did so.
Do you guy experienced can't boot up after Relocked
Can i run the RUU while it is in bootloader screen?
Thank you again

What you have described is normal for the downgrade script. Just try running the RUU now.

hello,
I have a problem guys i was flashing a rom (rom holics) happens to finishing flash, and in the process of restarting the device, I think for hurry I gave ah update.zip and rebooting, the screen stays there with the htc logo in black and restarts and the cycle repeats, could enter the bootloader, but now when I go into recovery at the beginning and who wants to enter (see the logo and lettering recovery) but then again with the white screen logo vibrates and reboots, I can do? by fastboot usb I can do something?
re-flash the recovery?
I ask for your support please
In fastboot, flash the recovery again I recommend wxcrecovery and then flash the ROM again. If you are s-on then you have to fastboot flash the kernel.

Recovery was written fine. Now you need to reboot to recovery. Instead of
fastboot reboot
do
fastboot reboot recovery
Or just select bootloader on the phone, then select recovery
Now you're in recovery, flash the ROM of your choice. If you're s-on, you'll then need to reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash the boot.img included with the rom

If all else fails flash stock recovery, re-lock bootloader, run an RUU ( or flash a PH39IMG.ZIP file ), unlock the bootloader, re-root, flash a custom recovery and restore your phone from a nandroid backup or titanium backup. and all should be well.

How did you install these custom recoveries? You need to flash them in FASTBOOT USB mode with an unlocked bootloader.
You need to copy the recovery's img file to the same directory where you install and run ADB.exe and FASTBOOT.exe from and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img file]
I did so

Hope the process of flashing didn't show "FAILED"...if then everything should be fine.
No errors, write is successful, but doesn't work
I forgot to say, that hboot shows "eMMC-boot", what does it mean?
Hi Xda
Forgive me for what you are about to read, as I have carried out some dumb ### noobness:
I was running Sinless 5.1Gpe rom (great rom) anyways I wanted to return to a sense based rom so decided to go for ARHD 40.2 fter reading a number of posts mentioning doing a complete wipe of the phone including SDCARD. I checked the process of pushing via adb and all seemed simple enough.
I initially did a test and it pushed the file, so then i carried out the complete wipe (no OS, no rom on sd card to flash). I then tried to push the rom and it failed. I tried a number of different ways sideload too.
I managed to get the rom to push in the end using the lastest TWRP of which it would not allow me to do rom failed to flash...
Now this is the stupid part, TWRP became unresponsive, and every time I tried to boot into recovery it would kick me out to the spash screen and bootloop. I did the fastboot erase cache without any success.
I managed to switch to CWM but could not mount anything so came across a post about switching to stock....This is the really stupid part. I flashed a stock recovery and also I now have a relocked bootloader.
Is this phone now bricked??
I have fastboot available
I am S-off
I can boot into stock recovery (Red triangle)
I cannot use ADB (device not recognised)
I cannot re unlock bootloader (tried twice and failed) - I will try again as it got to 4am and had to be up for work at 6am.
Any help really really apreciated.
Many thanks
Mick

if you have s-off you should flash back a custom recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY, and adb should be working again,

there's also a handy Guru Bootloader Reset (flashable zip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
but it needs either CWM 6.0.3.2+, or TWRP 2.6.3.3+ to work.
or even "revone -u"

If you can get to the stock recovery press volume up then power button and quickly release both buttons and you should be in stock recovery. From here you should be able to follow any of the posted steps to flash a RUU back to pure stock.

I cant flash custom recovery the error i get is similar to trying to unlock.(above)
I cannot also use that thread because I cannot access adb (even though my phone recognises fastboot in device manager, when I go to what is now stock recovery is disappears from device manager)
I have no OS so cannot open up emulator for revone.

You're getting "cannot load"? That just means the filename is wrong, as simple as that. If ur on Windows, check for .img.img (double extension)

I now have an unlocked bootloader
I have also now flashed CWM 6.0.4.5 however I still do not have adb available. The difference now is fastboot is recognised in device manager as before but when I boot into CWM instead of it dissapearing, it moves to 'other devices' one (with yellow exclamation) I know it did this before because of drivers not being installed/recognised but I have htc sync manager installed which in theory has installed the drivers??!
Anything else I can try without adb?
Again many thanks for your assistance, I see you in a number of threads helping people...top bloke!
Further update
I downgraded my hboot back to 1.55 and now TRWP is now functioning, I have now pushed a rom to the phone, however flash fails due to "unable to mount to internal storage"
Is there a fix for this?

I suggest that you downgrade to Hboot 1.44, keep the bootloader locked and run the 1.28.401.7 RUU to be completely stock. Then its up to you whether you re staying stock or flashing sth custom.

Yes there is a fix. Install stock recovery. Go to bootloader and select factory reset. It will go to stock recovery and do it's thing and should go into a Bootloop . install custom recovery you should be good
Hi All
Just a quick note, to say all back up and running, thanks for all the respondants who helped.
I wanted add how i got it up and running, so if anyone has similar issues they can use it:
I believe the biggest culprit was the newest Firmware and TWRO 2.3.3.3 in which it did not want to load.
I downgraded by Hboot to firmware 3.xxx and then flashed TWRP 2.3.3.0 and it let me in instead of kicking me out to a bootloop.
I then had access to ADB sideload, which did not work for me in the 1st instance that led me to my problem, This i believe was due to not having the lastest SDK.(upgrade this).
Make sure the Rom you are pushing works well for that downgraded firmware i.e. a solid 4.3 based rom in my case.
Also to note I wiped my external SD card and was unable to mount this to flash, let TWRP sort this by doing a factory reset prior to flashing.
Hope this helps anyone who experienced similar symptoms to me.
Hi everyone
I stuck with root procedure (first link when you type "htc mini 2 root" in google)
I did unlock bootloader with htcdev, I am able to run adb and fastboot - meaning I can restart my phone into fastboot loader but I cannot run TWRP recovery, I dont know why. I downloaded few versions of this .img file, I run command fastboot boot recovery xxxx.img, with some files there is no reaction at all, with file recovery-twrp-2.8.5.0 phone is restarting but into normal function, there is no twrp screen. I have CWM-SuperSU-v1.30 on sd card in the phone
Does anyone have clue what can be wrong here?
Thank you

Hello,
I recently flashed the latest TWRP beta for the OxygenOS 4.0.1 on my phone which has an unlocked bootloader. I managed to boot into recovery immediately after flashing the .img through my PC, so that's how I was able to install my SuperSU.
However, since I booted into the OS, anytime I'm trying to enter the TRWP recovery again, I'm stuck in the stock recovery which doesn't let me install anything. So the only way for me to boot into TWRP recovery is using my PC. Can anybody help me to fix that?
Thanks!
What command are you using to install TWRP to your bootpartition?
I think the correct one is something like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name).img

Thanks for your reply! Exactly. And after installing it, I used the command 'fastboot boot TWRP.img", and that brought me into TWRP recovery. But I could only get there this way and still had the stock recovery.

From what I understand, the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' will boot the specified recovery once, but won't flash it to the device. So it has nothing to do with the recovery that is actually on your device. Perhaps something went wrong when you actually flashed twrp and it wasn't written at all.

Well, I flashed the twrp by booting into fastboot mode and then typing 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'. I don't know what's wrong there, so maybe you could help me out?

Unfortunately then I don't know how to help Because that's exactly what I did and I got TWRP running without any problem. If you flash via 'fastboot flash recovery' command will it be on the device after you reboot for the first time?
i remember, once i couldn't boot into recovery either when i used fastboot command. Then I flash recovery using tool below and it worked for me.

Apparently, you were right. I just wiped my device (accidentaly ) and flashed TWRP again, basically did the same steps as before, but now it works. Seems like somehow the installation of TWRP just failed on the first try. Thanks for your help!
