[Q] stuck in boot loop

I rooted and flash my nexus one with a rom that was based on the cm7 nightly. It installed completely and I rebooted. It gets past the static x but loops in the moving x. I've tried so many things over the past 8 hours I need help to get a rom working on this. I tried going through the fastboot. Tried using recovery to update from sdcard and I'm having no luck getting this to work again. Hopefully someone on here knows how to fix my problem so I can get a working rom on my phone. Thanks everyone.

Did u install recovery (amon or clockworkmod?? If you did just dload another rom, wipe and flash again
N1

When I originally did the install I installed clockwork and did a back up. When I go into recovery all I can do is either wipe data, update from sdcard and wipe cache. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have no clue what went wrong. I've installed new roms on my old phones and no problems, I follow all the instructions.

nandroid, wipe all, retry flashing.
or restore your nandroid backup.
Looking at "adb logcat" while its booting will pinpoint the error.

I've tried to go through fastboot to use my recovery image but I get failed (remote: signature verify fail). I don't know how to get into nandroid and my computer I can only use the fastboot not adb to use logcat. Is there a way to use the fastboot that doesn't come up with the signature fail. I really don't know what happened. What other ways can I use my recovery image if I can't do it from the physical phone?

Sounds like a bad backup. DId you verify MD5?
If you want to start over..
Download AmonRa Recovery 2.2.1. From thread below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
With phone in fastboot mode and connected to PC via usb:
1. Command Prompt: fastboot devices (make sure device is connected)
2. Make sure recovery image file is in your SDK/tools folder
3. Make sure your working directory is SDK/tools folder
4. Command Prompt: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
5. After flash is done, reboot to recovery.
6. Wipe everything.
7. Re-flash your ROM.
You can always go back to Clockworkmod if you want. Just re-flash clockwork recovery.

thanks for the help but I'm still getting the signature verify failed even with the new recovery img.

Did you unlock your phone (fastboot oem unlock) or did you just root it?
If you haven't unlocked your phone, perhaps try that then use the previous instructions to flash clockwork or amon recovery image.

Dude, thanks sooo much. Unlocking the bootloader did the trick. I almost had to go buy a new phone. If you lived in the San Jose area I would buy you a beer.

Make sure you add to his "Thanks" meter! BTW. That would have been my next suggestion...

Glad to help. I think we've all had those "OMFG HOW DO I FIX THIS" moments.

Doesn't go into recovery

I followed the video tutorial and when I flash recovery, then proceed to boot into recovery it fails to boot into recovery, it just flashes then boots like normal when I perm root. I don't know what's going on. I tried the clear cache command with no response.
I have searched and didn't find anything.
Anyone able to help please?

It is most likely you did something wrong when you flashed the recovery img, just follow the tuto again and make sure to follow each step.
Here is a guide made by mike: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

I have done that. Tried a few times. I am fairly "in the know" with rooting ect, but I just can't figure this out.

Did you reboot after flashing the recovery or did you just go straight into it? I had the same problem and what fixed it is rebooting after flashing the recovery 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.

Tried that to.
When I press perm root, it just reboots normal like recovery doesn't even exist.

Have you tried flashing stock recovery and trying to boot in it? I know that doesn't fix anything, I am just curious if your device will actually boot into any recovery state at all. I have read on XDA about some devices not being able to boot into recovery for some reason.
Here's the stock recovery, just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38504123

Okay give me a shot at that.
I noticed after flashing recovery, mine doesn't tampered like it should?

The stock recovery says it's not available anymore.

If it doesn't say TAMPERED then the recovery must have not been flashed to begin with and that is why it's not booting into it. Which recovery are you trying to install? I use TWRP 2.5.0 and I flashed it with fastboot then restarted and it booted fine. My device is S-ON, by the way, and running Trickdroid 7.5.
US Developer Edition Recovery: http://d-h.st/b5g
T-Mobile Recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvs38223dfrzsny/recovery_tmobile.img
I am not sure if either one will work with your device since I am guessing it's international? But they might be worth a shot.
Never mind, I found the stock international recovery for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22045273/htc1-stock-recovery.img it was on page 4 of the thread. Give it a go.

I flashed the stock recovery and it still boots like there is no recovery there. and it doesn't say "tampered"
This is crap
EDIT: Yeah I figured it's not being flashed since it's not tampered, but no matter what I try it won't flash.
I'm navigating to the folder: CD C:\One_All-In-One_Kit_v\Data\Recoveries then typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't work.
It says it's flashed ect, but doesn't boot into it, nore show tampered.

This is very weird and unfortunately I do not know the solution to that. I do not use the All-In-One-Kit, actually, but just a mini-SDK with fastboot files inside. I use shift + right click and "open command prompt window here" rather than navigate to the location, it's just much easier that way. Can you try flashing the latest TWRP recovery?

I just downloaded TWRP and flashed it ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) it said all the jabber, like it worked, rebooted and still no "tampered" just reboots like nothing ever happen.
I give up.

Would ADB be any better?

Ugh man that's horrible. I honestly do feel your frustration because I have faced similar situations with my HTC devices (One X and One) countless times, and it sucks because you know the correct steps yet it's not working. I sure hope someone knowledgeable about this can come in and help you. Best of luck.
EDIT: I have only used ADB to sideload a ROM but I don't know about flashing recoveries. If you know how to do it, then why not? It's worth a shot for sure.
EDIT #2: And if you're not familiar with ADB, this article should get you started: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Make sure you follow all the steps to the word and also install HTC Sync Manager for the proper drivers to be loaded.

I know right, driving me nuts.
I've never done adb to flash a recovery before but don't know if I would want to be the pidgeon to try lol

Tried that, no go.
Also checked the drivers, re-installed no go.
I am quite up there with adb, but not with flashing recovery with a HTC device lol.

There seems to be another method for flashing recoveries besides fastboot.
http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3...lash-recovery-image-via-fastboot-sd-card.html
This is an HTC Evo section but it could work for the One as well, although I am not sure of it. I have done some Googling and I did not come across any articles/threads saying that it is possible to flash a recovery using ADB, so that might not be possible.

[Q] HTC One Brick?

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

SOLUTION those stuck in a bootloop with locked bootloader & TWRP

Hi All
Got into a bit of a situation when I re-locked my bootloader and got stuck in a loop, unable to unlock it because of the developer settings option. I had nothing but the TWRP screen bootlooping.
Anyway, sorted it out for those who want to know how. In the bootloader run the commands "fastboot format cache" and "fastboot format userdata"
Then choose to boot into recovery, it'll work and you'll be in TWRP. From there you can flash a ROM, enable the setting in developer options & unlock the bootloader!

Good news to anyone having alternative recovery. Unfortunately will not work with stock recovery

Great thanks
Sorry for my poor english (I'm french). Great thanks for your solution. It works fine for me... I was afraid during a few hours to be forced to throw away my Nexus 6....

Thank you for that information. I was in the same position and your instructions helped me get my device working again. That Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options flag is a real game changer for those of us who are used to flashing our devices and one must be very careful.

How can you use fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata when the bootloader is locked? I'm on an N6, but I've had 0 luck with that.

You just can. It allows it.

Just went through the same thing and can confirm that fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata got me back into recovery.
However, Recovery was showing 0MB storage space so I couldn't push anything to the SDcard for install. @rootSU recommended that I go into wipe and perform a full format (the one that requires you to type "yes"). I did this and my storage was back to normal and I was able to push a ROM to the SD card and flash it.
Problem solved!

Trying to sell my Nexus 6 I believe I bricked it. After rooting the device I used Chainfire 3d program and it made me stuck on google sign. I tried literally everything. I can boot into teamwin TWR recovery. I tried factory resetting wiping cache and delvic. Problem is my bootloader is coming up locked. Tried using fastboot many times to flash everything back keep getting remote failure. Need help, is it possible im just screwed at this point. Ive used about everything it is just stuck saying Google. PLEASE HELP!!!!

chainfires 3d program hasnt worked on a nexus in years. and you do need to boot back up to enable unlocking the bootloader in the developer options. have you tried wiping data in twrp recovery?

Relax, deep breath. You need to use fastboot from bootloader. Issue these commands:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
That should get you into TWRP and from there you can transfer a ROM to internal, flash it and go from there.

Yes, it has been done to fix the soft brick I thought we were dealing with here. Only if TWRP is installed though.

Doesn't chainfire 3d modify system? I though it did. May need to flash a rom zip after a factory reset.
