cant get into recovery

i cant get into my recovery, i have a recovery image, im on cm7 rc3, i tried flashing to the stable using rom manager, but i get stuck on the htc screen, i take out the battery, try flashing the normal way, and im still stuck on the htc screen, what can i do? i deleted gapps off my sd card and put the new one in, but i didnt flash right away, i tried flashing cm7 stable first, dont know if thats what caused the issue. thanks for your help

It puzzles me you say you can't get into recovery but you posted you tried flashing the rom threw rom manger and the " normal " way. I'm thinking the normal way is from your recovery. If you can get into recovery try this. Make a nandroid of your current rom. Then do a full wipe. As in data,cache & dev-cache. Then flash the rom and see if it boots up. If it does. Reboot back into recovery and flash the gapps. then reboot. See if that works. If you cant actually get into recovery just post back and either myself or fellow xda members will try and help you out.

i cant get into recovery at all, what i wrote was i tried flashing the cm7 stable from rom manager first, but it got stuck on the htc screen, then tried the normal way which is holding down the red button and clicking on the reboot-recovery option, and still got stuck on the htc screen. these are the only two ways i know to get into recovery, and holding down the volume down button and the power button, which didnt work for me either, basically i cant get into recovery. i thought it was because i deleted my gapps and didnt flash the new gapps file as soon as i put it in my sd card,but im not sure if that is the reason.

With power off
To boot into recovery you
Press & hold the red power button & press & hold the home buttom untill you see your recovery. Or Peres & hold the power button then press and hold the volume down button. A white screen will appear. When you see the white screen press the home button and wait. Your recovery should appear. If you just deleted your gapps zip from your SD it would not effect your recovery at all. I think your just caught in a boot loop and your not booting into recovery the correct way. But I'm not sure.let me know if this works. What recovery are you using???

Pull battery, replace battery.
BEFORE POWERING ON DEVICE, press and hold HOME key.
WHILE HOLDING HOME KEY, press and release power button.
WHEN HTC LOGO APPEARS, release HOME key.
You should now be in recovery.

Then just go into ROM Manager and re-flash the recovery.

ok thnks, ill hfto try where i can get wifi n the morning x.x

If I'm not mistaken can't you tell rom manger were to look for the recovery you want to flash?? If so and you have a copy of the recovery on your sd you can flash it.

how about if he had said no?
thats just straight up a creek right?

I am having the same problem...except I never actually got Cyanogen flashed. I rooted my phone. Installed SuperUser to fix permissions. Installed Rom Recovery and flashed the Clockworks Recovery. Then I backed up the Rom and when I went to boot into recovery to flash Cyanogen, I just get the white HTC screen. I get the same issue with manual recovery (holding down home and turning the power on). I can boot normally, but I can't restore my backup or use any other recovery features. Any ideas?

Ok....I tried one more time using the Volume Down and Power, then selecting Home and for whatever reason it worked. So I cleared my cache and then I selected to installed zip from sdcard and selected the cyanogen zip file. I get E: Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.0-Hero-signed.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Anyone know what that means?

Could just be a bad download. Redownload it and try again. Or it could mean its the wrong type of file. Or the zip needs to be signed.

How did you find out that your phone is rooted?
Moreover, write following information here:
Bootloader: locked or unlocked?
HBoot:????
S-Off or S-ON???
You can this information by doing following.
Switch your phone Off. Press Volume down button and power button. This will take you to a screen where you can find this information. Put your information here and wr'll take it from there onwards

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429241&highlight=and - This is what is installed on you phone. So you know. Not that this helps anything but just so you know it isn't some random thing no one has heard of
Now the recovery these guys are on about is something that has to be installed on the phone for someone to have installed this 'OS' (ROM). If you do as many have said and power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery. Chances are this is a customer recovery which allows you to install new 'OS' (ROM).
If you have this it would be easier for you and everyone if you download the stock rooted OS. Now you don't really need to understand what root is etc. I am sure you could Google all of that. But what you have to do is download it from here. Once it has downloaded you need to move the .zip file to you SD card on your phone. Just plug your phone into your PC and drag and drop it to your phone's sd. The SD card in your phone is virtualised so although you may not physically have one the PC recognises it as an SD card.
Once you have moved it to your phone. You need to unplug your phone from the PC. Get your phone back to the recovery, using these instructions again:Power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery.
Once you are there continue to use the volume up and down to navigate and power to select. You need to select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' option. Then select 'yes' Once that is done, you need to select the 'Wipe Cache' option. Again, select 'Yes'. Once that is done you can install the 'OS'(ROM). Now you select 'Install zip from SD card' then the option 'Select zip from SD card' Navigate and find the .zip file you moved to your SD. Select it, then select 'yes' After that it will do some stuff. Once it's finished, select 'Go Back' and then 'Reboot System' that should work.
If you don't want to do that then you can download the RUU file that fshami already linked. http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/ - Select the one named 2.31.401.2_Europe. Once it has downloaded you need to ensure you have HTC drivers installed. Best way to do that is download HTC sync and plug your phone in. After it has installed the drivers and verified your phone you're good to go. Plug your phone in, find the RUU file you downloaded. It will be an .exe file. Right click on it and click 'Run as Administrator' Follow the steps on screen.

HTC One software update (4.06.1540.3)

Hi All,
I need urgent help.. i have recently bought a pre-owned htc one M7 from a buyer. while installing the software update (4.06.1540.3 ) the phone goes into some white screen and following appears:
I m not aware if the seller has done something wrong with the phone bcz i m not aware of software language & how can i install the update..
your help is highly appreciated.. thanks

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

The tampered thing is nothing to worry about, it just means that the bootloader has been unlocked.
You might want to look into getting S-OFF by following one of the guides here on xda.
But it sounds to me like you are in the bootloader, you should be able to use the volume buttons to select recovery to enter TWRP or CWM.. in recovery mode you can flash the software update if it's a ROM that you found here as a zip file.. There are many guides around to do all of this, good luck.
Edit: Press volume down twice to select bootloader then hit the power button. Then you should see another menu with an option for recovery. Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed? If not, I'd recommend downloading TWRP.

I notice there it says fastboot AC, is that whilst its plugged into the wall charger or your computer ?

Thank you so much for ur prompt reply.. I am actully not well versed with this.. i just thought of installing the update (OTA) but the screen appeared and it couldn't be done..There were 3 options to select from: Reboot/Reboot bootloader or power down.. Using the vol button i just clicked on reboot and phone went back in previous state
i am worried whether i would be able to install the official updates and how to get rid of this..i could also locate supersu app which is prompting me to run custom/normal recovery.. i don't know if i shud do anything from there..
i m novice to all this and don't know even a bit on this..this is a pre-owned phone & i have no idea what the seller has done..
i just want to run on official updates without getting into all this trouble..
your reply will be highly appreciated.

cant Use my touch screen!!?

So i installed the rooted stock download on my s-on SprHtc one m7 and the install was seemingly successful, but now my touch screen isnt working. i cant unlock the phone and when i press the volume keys i cant touch the slider, or slide the drop down menu down. when i try to restart the phone it hangs at the "1" count indefinitely it seems. any ideas as to what went wrong? to make matters worse, i usually back up my data on twrp and then port it to my laptop to save space, but now my laptop is having trouble recognizing my phone.

Sounds like you flashed a really old rom.
Flash a rom that is based on 3.xx.xxx.x or higher and make sure you are using the latest version of twrp.

Yeah that rom is old there was a Touch Panel driver update between 1.31.xxx.x and 3.04.xxx.x
btw the latest is 5.05.651.x so that will tell you how old the rom you flashed is.
You should be able to hold the pwr button until the lights stop flashing at that point it will be off or it will try to reboot.
If it's off press pwr until it starts to boot and hold vol down that will take you to bootloader.
If it reboots hold vol down to get to bootloader.

i cant hard reset my phone, attempting to let it die of battery loss and maybe i might be able to restart it in twrp.

It's been a while but I think it will. If you can manage to get to bootloader you can update twrp.
Maybe try pwr + vol down to reset just keep holding both.

holding down the pwr and vol button isnt working..im just gonna have to let it die.

assuming i can even use twrp, knowing my luck, i wont be able to access recovery..

Sideload very rarely works from what I've seen.
You could adb push the backup but I'm not sure if it would flash I've never tried.
A last resort is RUU and start fresh.

i managed to restore my phone,but im having trouble getting twrp to recognize that my backup is in the folder. i copied it back and it doesnt show up in recovery. is there anyway around this?

BLU Vivo XL update issue

Hello, I have issues updating via wireless update. When I try to update through it I get an error telling me my system was damaged. From what I've looked up this happens when you've rooted your phone. Which is odd to me since I just got this phone. I am completely new to android so doing all this kind of stuff is beyond me at the moment. I was able to boot into I think recovery mode using the power button and volume up button. Doing that I attempted to install through that. When I attempted to do so I just get a Error. Nothing specific other than that. I do not have a SIM or external SD card installed. Everything is brand new and not used. Help would be nice.

Go back into recovery mode (hold down the volume up and power button simultaneously until the recovery menu comes up). Select factory reset (this will wipe everything and restore it back to factory settings). You should be able to update after that
