So I follow a tip in the internet to install an CMW recovery, now my phone stop at HTC logo, cannot do anything more. I really need help, can somebody help me? I just bought this phone 5 days ago, I'm now so scared if it really died!!!

No, I don't have much time. just use the search function, you'll find sth First install a ROM of your choice. The boot.img is in the .zip of the ROM. Search down a guide and flash it via adb.

My phone died at recovery mode. I cannot use flash from zip card. Argh, I may come back to ugly-htc-sense. (
Do you know that you need to hold down power + volume down to access recovery? (must be done exactly after you power on your phone; b4 HTC logo)
Yes, I hold the volume down and power key, and then the boot launcher appears, then I select recovery and stuck at HTC logo (
Try flashing a new recovery image, then once you flash a new rom, boot into fastboot and flash the boot.IMG inside the Rom

but still stuck at htc logo argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
could someone give me new recovery file? the one in the follow post has died. (
Just install the 4ext recovery app flash the recovery from there
What did you flash CWM with? Try using rom manager and it will do it all for u
Make sure you arent trying to flash the wrong rom or recovery for your device, the inc2 is vivow, the incS is vivo, what does your bootloader say at the top?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
just try booting the ROM, see whether it boots in to recovery.
there is one time i made a mistake and i flash the recovery in to the boot.
and the actual boot file i flash in to recovery.
thank you guys all, just tried again and and it worked!!! Now I'm on JB 4.1/
Thank you guys all for visitng my thread and helping me . TYTYTYT!!!!!
would be good if you posted how you fixed, for future reference.
With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

Nice i don't know if i should try it or wait for an official one for our device. In the mean time back to my nexus 4
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
If you really want to give it a spin you can always flash the Photon Q version otherwise I'm sure there will be an official version ported soon

Dumb question...... if I uninstall ss and install cwm will I lose the current ROM im using?
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
You'll have to reinstall yes.

Dumb question part 2..... uninstall ss first and then install cwm? Also erase all ROM slots before uninstalling? Thanks!

Yea make sure to erase the rom slots. I forgot to and uninstalled then was missing quite a bit of space lol.

Have you flashed anything with it?
I haven't actually tried yet flashing a ROM but since I'm on stock and don't want to flash white yet I haven't had the opportunity, as long as its flashing to the device it should work with no problems

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?
I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

I'm Stock Again, Restart always sent me to fastboot with a failed flash error, I could back out of it to the pizza ROM each time however I don't want to depend on my phone booting incorrectly so I used RSD and I'm stock again, I'm going to give it another try tonight.
UPDATE...Reflashed everything started over and everything works PERFECT Yippie!!! I'm very pleased!!!!
Running AOSPizza and Loving it!

So what was your full procedure? I want to try this and try to install CM10 later.
From what I read, you installed the Photon Q CWM, installed Pizza through that, got boot loops, flashed back to stock, then installed Pizza again?

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!
OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there. However I saw a guy on here (can't remember his name) use a twrp recovery from the photon q on our device, can I do the same with cwm in ROM manager? Or are there compatibility issues?

They used the photon for cwm. Don't do that though. Use our official one located in the development section.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

Thanks^ I completely forgot to include that :highfive:
I'm going to jump on this thread too.
I'm having issues, I can seem to get CWM to install. I have rooted/unlocked. I replaced the cwm with the newer one. I used the myth tool to reboot into Fastboot, while on the unlocked screen, I ran the recovery on the tool. The phone restarted, but I figure out how to get to cwm recovery, or if it even worked.

adb reboot recovery or hold down volume up and power button when turning the phone on or hold down volume up, volume down and power button when powering on then in the boot options screen use volume down to move highlight and volume up to select.

Thanks for your help, it much appreciated. However, I think I'll have to bow out now. This stuff is over my head. I was really hoping to get PA on my phone, but I'll just have to settle for TasKarou launcher for pie controls. Thanks for everybody's help.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Just download the recovery file and boot you phone into boot loader, connect phone to PC... In cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recover_name.img" without quotes and recovery_name being the name of your recovery file..

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?
i unlocked my phone bootloader after that i flashed cwm recovery via toolkit but after that my phone just stuck on cwm,i rebooted so manyy time but no luck.i tried diffrent recoveries and kernals but facing same issue.sometime phone shows black screen after reboot.plz i need help.i am from india.
What is the need to state that you are from India?! Anyways, if you're not having any luck, you could always flash an RUU to go completely back to stock and start over. I also highly recommend TWRP over CWM, but that is mostly my own opinion.

I tried to flash the new Kitkat ROM on my stock-rooted ROM but flashed it wrong (as my bootload is not unlocked as needed).
Now I'm stuck on bootloop when I see the new ROM's logo showing up for few seconds but reboot imediately..
My recovery is also gone.. I can't access it.. (I have my backup there, I only need to reach it)
I tried to use flashtool and adb but I can't control them..
How can I flash CWM recovery through any of them?
Please provide link and explain I'm freaking out here..
Thanks!

Use fastboot to flash... Just make sure your phone is in fastboot/flash mode first
If your on locked boot loader then you have to do a ftf/flash tool restore
