Recovery does not function properly, can't install custom ROM.

Hi, I probably performed a lot of stupid steps on my HTC One but this is what I did so far and could use some help. I have currently used the HTC all in one tool by hasoon2000. I had Android Revolution 6.0 and was working perfectly fine but then decided to install Android Revolution 7.0. Unforunately, I guess Clockwork Recovery doesn't like aroma installer because it froze halfway through the installation. I turned the phone off but it proceeded to freeze 3 more times. Eventually it got stuck into a boot loop. Then because I could not do anything, I cleared the dalvik, cache, system, and data. I have erased the cache through fastboot and flashed a new boot.img of the old ROM. I am currently trying to install TrickDroid 5.1 on my phone but when I try to install TWRP recovery it will blink for a second then load back into bootloader. When I install either CW recovery or CW Touch, It works but the phone shuts down automatically into bootloader when I either attempt to factory reset, install zip from Rom, sideload Rom. Can anyone help me please? When I turn on the phone without going into boot lader it just stays on the htc logo, im assuming because there is not ROM installed right now.

hi mate post this on trickdroid thread someone there will help you out

First step is to make sure you don't use the touch screen while installing the rom. Use the volume keys and the power button to make selections. If that doesn't work, try a few other times. I had the same thing happen to me. If all else fails, try installing the maximus7 rom. That's the rom that installed for me without trouble and it'll at least get you a working phone until the other roms are fixed

All right I'll try to sideload the Maximus ROM. Some extra info, the cache won't mount at all.

Does anybody have any previous versions of CW recovery or TWRP i can flash onto my phone? I heard the newer recoverys aren't very compatible with aroma installer or the newer ROMs.

Always do 3 wipe, it should be eisier to pass the weired aroma installer frozen problem.

[Q] HTc one md5 mismatch, no stock rom access and custom rom leads to bootloop

I am very new to the entire rooting side of android and my first try at getting a custom rom went bad.
I have an htc one international variant. I successfully rooted it. After rooting i tried installing a custom rom called Android_Revolution_HD-One_62.0, which once installed via 'recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7' gave the installation prompts. after following them it just gets stuck in an endless boot loop alternating between htc logo screen and few seconds of clockwork mod screen.
I cleared all data, and cache before trying to install the above mentioned rom,
I made a backup of my stock version using the backup feature on clockwork mod but after failing with the custom rom, i tried to restore the back up but it gave me md5 mismatch issue.
So now I can't fix that issue on my phone and neither is the adb commands able to find my device to fix the md5 mismatch.
Please help me anyway possible.
Thank you

The ARHD thread says you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery for 62.0. Try installing that, full wipe then reflash.

I am trying that out right now but it seems to always get stuck on the 'entering recovery' screen. I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 and erased cache after, but still this happens.

Stuck on Boot Screen (HTC Quietly Brilliant)

Hi,
I got my brother's old HTC One M7 and tried to flash the ROM.
I have experience with Samsung Devices so I figured it worked the same way.
I install cyanogenmod using their installer. It worked, but dreadfully slow (slower than the stock rom).
So I downloaded Android Revolution 53.0, put in the /Downloads folder and went into recover and tried to install from zip.
It appeared as if the installation went through, and now the phone is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
I can go into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY.. But I can't seem to get past it.
Just went into recovery and see "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
Please help!
Thanks.

First question....what version recovery are you using
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

To revive this thread.
So, I was able to figure out the original problem or at least get around it.
For whatever reason Android Revolution HD wouldn't install despite trying to flash the ROM using TWRP or CWM recovery.
I was able to get CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth to work without issues.
I later used a Nandroid backup of a Bell Mobility (CID BM____001) and return it to "stock" JB.
I'm trying to get KIT KAT on it, I get the OTA update notification, but after it initiates the installation, device reboots into my custom recovery.
So, I tried to flash the stock BM recovery, and BM Stock KitKat install starts, but then I get a teal and pink screen back to back and get stuck on the HTC / Beats screen.
Any help is appreciated.

OK, your first problem sounds like you didnt flash the Boot.img first through fastboot, before trying to install the ARHD Rom, extract it from the zip file you downloaded and flash it through fastboot, then flash the rom, I believe Sense Roms (ARHD) will not work on non sense rom boots like CyanogenMod.
Post 3 problem is you need to install the stock recovery first.

Thanks for the quick response.
I've gotten further than where I was about an hour ago.
I realized when I flashed the stock recovery for BM_001, it was an older version (mismatched my ROM).
I flashed the the stock recovery version of my stock ROM, and I was able to get KIT KAT.
Now, it's doing a 2nd OTA update to get SENSE 6.
Will post update as soon as it's done. Hopefully it's successful.

Clockworkmod Recovery Galaxy s3 problems

Well guys this is my first time on the forums. My phone is rendered near useless right now. A few days ago, i rooted my phone via towelroot. as a friend reccomended, i installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery. I backed up my stock, perfect ROM with CWM and decided to try installing cyanogenmod 10.3.1......... it wouldn't install. I even tried other apps like ROM installer. Then i came across the handy dandy Cyanogenmod Installer. This seemed great, i didn't have to do anything except click a few buttons on my PC. as i was ready to enjoy a new custom ROM, the following message popped up, "Root access possibly lost. Fix?". I was given the options of "No" and "Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)". i chose the second one, and waited for my device to boot. when it did, it was stock Touchwiz Android version 4.4.2, just like i had initially. what's more is my imei and bandwidth version were both "unknown" and i my sim card was undetected. I decided that technology had gotten the better of my and i tried to flash my old stock ROM back on. i found the file in recovery mode but it kept saying "no files found" whenever i clicked on it. I tried the cyanogenmod installer again, this time choosing "No", resulting in exactly the same scenario. At this point, I would be fine having the stock ROM since i have had such bad luck with the "developer's world" of Android.......... PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Another note:
ROM manager now is telling me that CWM is not installed, yet it is present in recovery mode......

Have you tried installing some other recovery, like TWRP? You won't be able to install CM from it, but you should be able to install other roms.

How do I replace CWM with twrp? If I flash twrp, wouldnt CWM stay on my phone as default recovery?

follow the guide and replace your recovery easily. after flashing, what recovery you have flashed will be default recovery, i recommend philz, they are all downloadable in the guide

Would I have to uninstall CWM? I'm just wondering if the file for CWM will still be on my phone. I'll check out the link.

it´s the best if you also do a format of internal sd in recovery before changing the recovery, because sometimes there are some folders left of it in interrnal memory and you cant delete it, do that if this will be the case. but i think Philz and CWM use same folder, so if you flash philz it will be okay if im correct otherwise you can always format internal sd afterwards
Edit: dont use rom manager for recovery actions, use recovery itself, much more reliable

That guide made it possible for me to install all custom roms. Witz the recovery installed first it did not work. Thx

Stuck on fastboot and recovery with hboot 1.61 S-On

My HTC One is currently unlocked at hboot 1.61, S-On, with ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6 installed. no carriers
I have a backup of the stock rom before I install any roms, and I have install SU to my device afterwards.
I was intended to install Insertcoin 7.1.3 rom, I did a factory reset/wipe caches and then install the rom via clockworkmod.
However, my device does not boot into the custom but reboot will automatically 'entering in recovery' instead,
perhaps that was to do with the S-On, or it's a failed rom I got?
Anyway, I tried to restore the stock rom backup I did, it said restore completed but it reboot into recovery still...
Now I can only able to access fastboot and recovery, I tried download and put in the by using "mounts and storage" -> "mount USB storage" on ClockworkMod, but it won't let me as it does not appear on my Windows 10 as it usually should.
Can anyone help me to solve this mystery? Ideally, I would like to get back to stock rom at least...
I only had experience on rooting from my Desire HD(retired), there's a sdcard to storage roms back then...
What I've got now is:
- a backup from clockworkmod, and I didn't copy to my PC
- a stock rom and kernel, I downloaded from internet and HTC webpage.
- a InsertCoin rom for m7
I have did some research on similar issue previously, but doesn't seems to help me out. if anyone knows the same issue has been addressed and solved in some posts, please don't hesitate to feed me with those posts, as I could have missed them by struggling on reading foreign language for the entire evening...
lastly, if i did anything idiotic through that process, please don't judge my stupidity

Change your recovery to TWRP and flash away. If you read Insercoin thread, you would see that TWRP is recomended recovery. And that means you will loose your backup

Thanks for the reply, the backup is what holds me back from doing anything risky unless someone suggest me to do so, but I did risk of losing the backup and flashed TWRP. I have now successfully install InsertCoin rom, the sacrifice of the backup is well worthy. Well, at least my device can work properly, not much to lose. Doesn't seems like a big issue after all.
I also found out the problem was cause by the clockworkmod recovery. If I flashed TWRP in the first place, I could have kept a backup for my stock rom.
Anyway, a BIG thanks for your help! :good:

You're dead right regarding recoveries! Now, all you need to do is make a backup of your ROM in TWRP for future mishaps and enjoy[emoji6]
And you're very welcome. I'm glad I could be of help
