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

Hi so I have cm7 7.0.2 on my nexus one. Today it froze on the unlock screen, as it has a few times before since I put cm7 on my phone, so I did a battery pull, and then it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it into my charger, and now it turns on, but just goes to the colored X screen, and then reboots in a loop, over and over again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Use something like RUU to go back to stock then root your phone and if you have a backup on your recovery select that once you are done setting it back to stock.

Did you do OEM UNLOCK? if you didyou can simply boot into the bootloader and then choose recovery and from there you can re flash your rom
this is exactly what happen to my phone. say good bye to our nexus one my friend, i don't think we can fix it. it's been a week.

I wouldn't bet on it, if it's simply in a boot loop then it's perfectly fixable. Go into the bootloader by holding the volume button while turning on the phone. Navigate to the recovery option using the volume buttons and confirm using the power button. From here you can wipe/restore nandroid/flash CM7 again. Also, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to do any of this.

thanks, but that's what i do, when i can't boot. it's stuck on x when i try boot to recovery, and flash boot, recovery, system, not changed the situation.
ok, i am not an expert, but just brainstorming here based on what i understood while flashing mine..
download a recovery image to your PC
get into bootloader mode on the nexus, connect it to ur pc, select the fastboot usb option on ur fone
open windows console
type:
fastboot flash recovery <image file path> and press enter.
fastboot can be located inside android-sdk. so make sure you have your present working directory set to the path of "fastboot.exe"(e.g. c:\android\android-sdk\tools)

You will either have to run PASSIMG.zip (The forums have good guides on this) or unlock your bootloader and flash the individual .img files through bootloader/fastboot.

Did you try he fastboot erase commands first? I'm not at my computer to write a quick guide but if you still need it in a few hours ill write it up. If it still gets stuck in a bootloop after that then your device is probably bricked

nexus one not rebooting after the battery drained
I am currently in the same situation. In my case the battery drained completely. I removed the battery and disconnected the charger. In the past this worked. Now what I get is the colorful X.
What I can do:
Fastboot via power and the "pearl"
Go into the boot menu via volume down and power
No matter what I chose after that I get to the same X. While this seemed promising none of the following worked:
reflashing recovery
Reflashing back to stock of radio/recovery/system/boot/
replacing battery
Any other thoughts?
Before wipe all your data on your phone in the recovery and reinstall passimg.zip

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

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
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.
After downloading CM11 and GApps, I put it in my SD card and went into my recovery cwm9 by using an app. I got in and tried to flash my zips but I couldn't find them. Before I actually tried to flash them I did this first:
Wipe cache ( only required on first installation )
Wipe Dalcik cache ( only required on first installation )
Format /system and optionally /data ( Only necessary if coming from stock or a different ROM )
So when I rebooted I was greeted by getting stuck at the T-mobile boot splash.
I don't know how to get into recovery manually. I can't try to use download mode because I used fastboot. When I get into fastboot I tried using ADB to boot into recovery but device is not found when I'm in fastboot.
Please help me, I literally just got this phone and wanted to flash a custom rom because the LG stock is disgusting.

See FAQ thread for getting into recovery.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: I've flashed a custom recovery but what are the key combos to get there?[/SIZE]
Power off the device
Press and hold Power + Volume down
When the LG logo appears on the screen, quickly release the Power button, still holding the Volume down button, and press and hold Power again until the "Factory Reset" screen appears. Don't worry, this won't reset the device.
Use the volume keys to navigate up and down and Power to select. Scroll down and select "Yes" and repeat once more. It may take up to 10 seconds for the device to boot to recovery.
I've now gotten into the recovery and installed both cyanogenmod and GApps. I've actually had to change the rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-lg-l90-lg-d415-t2871371
I've had to change the updater script that contained "w7" to "w7ds" because it said my device wasn't w7 and that it was w7ds.
I've rebooted and now it's just stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen.
What do?

You've got an older recovery it seems. Download Philz-Touch from my thread, the link you posted, or get TWRP from this thread
Since you're having booting issues, use fastboot to flash the recovery.
Thing is when I'm in fastboot, ADB won't detect my device. I've only gotten it to detect my device once and that's when I was unlocking my bootloader. I don't know how to do it again.
So what do I do? BTW, thanks for helping me.
Edit: I formatted everything again and tried to reinstall the cyanogenmod and GApps. Seems like I just had to wait for the boot screen.

Put device in fastboot mode. ADB can't detect the device when it's in fastboot mode.
Type:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see a listing similar to "adb devices" output.
Copy recovery image to the same folder fastboot is in. Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
First one will only write the recovery image to the device. The second on will write the image to the device and should then boot the device to the recovery.
EDIT:
Yes, the first boot takes a couple minutes.
Seems I just had to wait for bootscreen.
How do I turn data on and off?

easiest way to explain. Go to Settings and toggle Mobile Networks off/on.
There are several ways. I'm guessing you're new to CyanogenMod ROMs?

Well, yeah, but a faster way. Like in LG in the notification bar there was a button that would turn data on and off. Does cyanogenmod have anything like that similarly?

Hi,
I'm very new to rooting and such and only followed guides a read forum posts to get to where I am now.
My phone is rooted with stock ROM and SU, the bootloader is unlocked but no S-OFF (don't think it's possible on the mini 2 yet anyway). The new OTA update last night installed when I got home and charged my phone, then the phone just shut off and every time I tried to boot it would go straight into TWRP without showing splash screen or bootloader (even when holding power and the volume down button). When it's in this state the touch screen doesn't work and the power button only locks the phone. Holding power + vol down in this state doesn't do anything.
I have to let the power drain completely to get the phone to boot back up but it immediately boots back into recovery and then I can use ADB to force the bootloader to appear, but when I flashed the stock recovery that I found in these boards, it messes up the screen and all it shows is static with some artifacts. I have to let the power drain again to get back into the bootloader, and from the bootloader I can get the android OS to boot but I'd like to fix this completely.
I guess I should also mention that even after flashing the stock recovery the phone will still boot back into TWRP after I let the power drain so I think that means that the stock recovery isn't taking?
The twrp problem you mentioned is known, hope it'll be fixed soon. Are you sure you typed the right command to flash stock recovery? Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you get stuck, the combination is power button and volume up, not volume down...

Unfortunately I was using the wrong ADB command, I was typing "fastboot boot recovery.img". This seems to have fixed the problem so far but I have yet to try rewriting TWRP back to the phone and I probably won't until theres a fix or unless I need to.
Thank you for your help.

I had the same problem. It happens when I reboot with my phone when charging.
You can reboot your phone by holding vol up+power button.
