This happened to me a lot on my old Desire HD. Have you tried re-flashing the rom or trying a different one? Also did you clean flash?

I can't access the recovery mode to re-flash the rom or try another one.
What exactly do you mean by "clean flash" ? I'm quite a nweebie with HTC and english is not my usual language ^^

Ah okay. I would then flash a custom recovery. You can access the bootloader correct? What method did you use to install the rom? Clean flash or wipe is when you erase all the phone's system files, leaving a blank slate for a new rom to be installed on, and should be done before installing a brand new rom to avoid any issues.

This is the link to the recovery image I used, it's the latest clockwordmod touch recovery. Very easy to flash as long as you have fast boot setup correctly. Once you have a working recovery you should be able to try a re-flash.

Well I entered Recovery mode through Rom Manager[/URL]clokworkmod () then used "install zip from sdcard".
I chose to keep my old data and don't make a factory reset.

Was the recovery still stock or was a custom one flashed? Which process did you follow to root the phone? Since you can't access the recovery at the moment is suggesting it is stock. A failed rom install shouldn't corrupt recovery

I remember I've unlocked the bootloader.
I used the method described on this french website : phonandroid.com/tutoriel-comment-rooter-son-htc-one.html
On the bootloader now, i can do a factory reset. Can it be a solution ? will it or not delete the root ?

I'm not sure, since you have tried to flash another rom, a factory reset might not solve the issue. Trying shouldn't brick the phone but I can't say for sure, sorry!
The method looks similar to the one I used. Could you try following from step 6? but using a different recovery.img. I used the clockwokmod touch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863

Nice! Glad you have working recovery. Yes I would reinstall the rom now, and I would recommend that you wipe the system files, (except SD Card partition of course) to reduce the chance of boot loops etc

Could you send me a link to the rom you flashed? Try downloading a different rom. As you can't boot a ROM your only option may be to use ADB to push a new ROM onto your phone's storage.

It may have been a bad download. There isn't really any reason for it to not work, although it does say on the page it "You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!"
Not to worry, you can flash it in no-time. Ok so just as before, just flash a new recovery (again) and use the latest image from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7/
This should allow you to install the rom as the developers intend. It is strange though, i've never encountered a rom where a specific recovery was needed.

Hi people
Today i've tried to flash ClockworkMod recovery in my HTC Legend via Rom Manager. After downloaded recovery, i've rebooted my device and an installation process has completed successfully. I realize that ClockworkMod Recovery has been installed and running well.
I reboot to recovery again and i see that CWmod recovery is vanished!!!
The original recovery of Legend is here!
What happened??? how can i flash a custom recovery permanently in Legend???
If it's possible, what recovery you advise me?
PS: My phone is rooted and i install custom roms via R4-Legend-Root tool.

So we need a bunch of informations from you.
Which Bootloader are you on
Which sd Format is it (GB or ICS)
Have you Root
Is Your Bootloader unlocked.
it is ICS i think. i have came from ICS 4.0.4 to MIUI's rom.
Yes its rooted.
Don't know whether my bootloader is unlocked or not.
When i install a new rom after performing necessary wipes and reboot, it comes back to Xiaomi logo and MIUI's rom start but its apps and processes stop every second.
The installation of new roms that i flash says success but on rebooting MIUI comes even after installing roms.
i use CWM 6.0.2.5.
Tell me what other information you want.

You must unbrick the phone, if you came form ICS you have new boot and that MIUI with new bootload and cm7 works with oldboot.

Well no... but you if you are on ICS Bootloader you cant install an rom based on GB Bootloader and vice versa.
ALWAYS Check in the rom description which Bootloader is it for. Some rom´s even need to flash an own CWM Recovery File to get it work Propperly.

If you want to put cm7, you must to change bootload, and for that you must unbrick.
for unbrick followe this great senior .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
that will unbrick your phone, .. after you can install a stock GB via smartflash or the ics.. you choose!
good luck
Uh, unbrick? Why is all this unbrick talk going on here, he says that his phone isn't bricked, so there's no need for that.
Are you able to boot into cwm by pressing vol down while powering on the phone? If yes, just flash the desired rom if you know which bootloader you are on.
Else, if you are not sure of bootloader, use aio toolkit. Download toolkit, install nvflash drivers in that, then select option 4, and follow the process. Select old/gingerbread bootloader when asked, and cwm version of your choice. Then put a Rom in sd card and flash in recovery.

Hey Rugglez.
But the process is the same for what muditj14 wants to do, am I wrong?. I never said it was brick. What I meant was that in order to change the boot, he must pass for process of "unbrick".
Perhaps the definition of exchange boot is not being the right one by me and I apologize if that induce someone into error.

Hey mate, what you said isnt a wrong method, but I just suggested AIO toolkit method because its so much simpler and less time consuming. Ultimately, the end result may be the same, but spyrosk has made the toolkit so user friendly that even someone without knowing anything about NVFlash can easily use it. It installs the required drivers by itself with the click of a button, and shows step by step selection of which bootloader, partition size, recovery etc. to flash, and is very safe to use
I am sorry if there has already been a question posted on this, if so please direct me in the right way.
I have the HTC Developer Edition and am currently on Software 1.29.1540.3 and my phone has issued me the update (hurray! I need to fix the dam home and back buttons! so annoying...anyway) When I try to do the update (1.29.1540.16), my phone loads me into my custom recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1) which then issues begin! Forever is stuck in Run Bug_fix tool. WHY?! WHY?!?!?!?!

@x017in: Sorry for the naive question. I still have a lot to learn about android. I have rooted my phone to put down CWM. Now I know that I am having custom recovery, but I am not sure if I am having custom ROM or stock ROM. Custom ROM refers to s.th like Cyanogenmod, right?
Yep. That's what custom Rom means.. so now you need to put back the recovery that came stock with the phone. Only then will the OTA update work

How to flash stcok recovery?
Hey guys, I'm new to android so I was wondering how to flash stock recovery (steps, guide)? and what does it do? Those pictures show exactly what's happening to me.
By the way I bought the htc one developer edition, it was supposed to be new but it came with CWM. So It wont let me install software OTA.
Hi guys,
Ok, so I've searched through everything and I still can't find an answer to my problem. So, basically, I have just installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my Xperia SP successfully using CWM recovery and then I wanted to reboot my phone again into CWM, so that I could install gapps, but I just couln't. Despite pushing right buttons while booting or making him boot into recovery mode, he always turns on the system. I can't get into flash tool either, but maybe it is because I have a blocked bootloader. I don't know if it's a valid info, but I have used "Wipe data/factory reset" before installing Cyanogenmod 11.
Please, help me, as I have no clue what to do now :<

Maybe his bootloader can't be unlocked.
But if it can be (just dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check bootloader status), I too would suggest unlocking it. Makes flashing and customizing so much more easier and there infinitely more ROM's and other files to choose from.
Of course take a TA backup before you unlock your bootloader or your warranty's gone for good.

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

Thanks for answering. I think I screwed up a little. Installed twrp and rooted then I tried to install CM but it failed. I read that the reason is I got an old version of TWRP. So I wiped all but I still have TWRP and rooted. How can I wipe everything? And start as you indicated me? And where can I find a TWRP updated version because I can't find a compatible with S5 mini in the official website.
So many thanks in advance!

Just go to Androidfilehost.com and search for hennymcc than go into his CM13 directory for S5 Mini and download the TWRP there. You can flash it via Odin. Then you don't have to root. Just install CM13 from the same directory. No need to root at all. If you want to, just flash SuperSU which you can find on Google.
If you want to wipe, you can do that in TWRP under the option wipe -> advanced wipe -> and mark data, cache, dalvik cache and system.
Thanks again! I downloaded the recovery you told me. There's just a part that I don't get well:

Doing that I will erase the old recovery and the root? Because It's weird that recovery autodelete itself. Or how I have to do to delete the old recovery and the root? Or if i flash it with odin the new recovery will replace the old one?
Sorry and thanks in advance!

You don't have to delete it. Just flash the new recovery via Odin and than go into recovery and do the wiping I told you.

Hi Zocker1304 and anyone else who wants to help. I downloaded the twrp from hennymcc from Androidfilehost.com and flashed with odin but now the recovery is broken. I lost the twrp and the original recovery too. When I try to go to recovery I get this message: Could not do normal boot. And goes to odin mode. What should I do? I'd like to delete everything and put it all again from zero.
Thank you in advance!

Go to advanced tab on Odin and activate Nand erase all. I don't know if that will help, but activate that and than flash Stock again. That will erase everything.

I made that and everything seemed right but then I tried to install TWRP from the link you gave me:

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

And first when I tried to go to recovery went to odin mode. And then I restarted my phone and tried again but this time I got the old recovery. So evidently I'm having a problem with TWRP. Whan can I do?

Aaaaaaah you are on Stock right? If you are on Stock:
Flash the TWRP I told you via Odin and right after the flash finished press the buttons to enter recovery. DONT LET IT REBOOT! if it reboots, you have to try again. You have to go into TWRP right after flashing, because otherwise TouchWiz restores the stock recovery. It only does that on the first reboot. Once you were in TWRP, it stays.

I totally did it that way! because that's what the tutorial says. And eventhough it failed. So I don't know what's the problem
Maybe I need root after all and that's why it don't work. I tried a couple of times more and still had the problem

Did you flash stock in between so everything gets erased? With activated NaND erase button? Under the advanced tab in Odin?

Yeah. Did everything. Is TWRP indispensable to have for installing rom? Is there any other recovery?

There are other recoverys but TWRP works fine and is the best recovery in my opinion. And no, you can flash any zipaligned ROM with the recovery.
