[Q] phone freezes entering the recovery - HTC Sensation XL

I unlooked the phon on the HTC website and tried to root it. I used DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su and a few other images, all with the same result. After flashing the image successfully and entering the recovery the phone shows the white HTC splash screen and freez.
Thanks to DooMLoRD for this easy tool. What do I wrong?

Try to use Ruu to rescue,don't use tools.it is a wise policy.

Can you provide me a link? I'm new here and overhelmed by so much information.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141627 there you will find what you required,only use ruu URL to download your regional Ruu to make things done.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2808777 get rooted by this guy's tool is safer,I think.use ruu to rescue your phone,get rooted by his tool.don't expected too much,don't install all the newly ported ROM here,or else you will make your phone act abnormally.

Thanks for your support.
First I found "RUU_RUNNYMEDE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.2_Radio_20.70.30.0832U_3831.16.00.16_M_release_258303_signed" and tried it. But the image is to old, Ver. 2.31.401.2, I have Ver. 3.33.401.153, and downgrade did not run. Then I noticed your second link and tried out. Flash of the custom recovery was successful, but booting in recovery still freezes my phone with the white HTC splash screen.
Any further idea?
I don't think that the problem is the recovery image or how to bring it to the phone, I think the problem is something else.

Use windycityrocker's universal tool to reinstall a recovery.

That is to say your phone is not completely rooted.Rom with OTA cannot be completely rooted,use cityrocker's tool.

Umh, teorically you can unlock your phone with HTC_Dev and after flash a M7 recovery, you have to check this.

Tried but failed, I have unlocked my phone and flash a M7 Recovery but not work and now I'm using a phone without recovery.
Seems not only with M7, those modified phones all have different kernels. I also tried the 802W recovery but failed again. Maybe there won't be a solution?
With 802W recovery you can't boot into it?
Is TWRP or CWM?
you can see relative threads on gfan forum, there already is a permanent root solution
Unlocking the dual sim variant is the same as unlocking an international one.
May be much easier for me to reply in Chinese

You can use Chinese if allowed, of course.
Allright, now there is a root for 802T.

I have a 802T (China Mobile) and can't get it to recovery. Unlocking the bootloader was not an issue and flashing CWM recovery worked
also well, but when I try to boot in recovery mode it starts loading and then stops and boots regularly.
Ah, ok I guess I found the threads you were refering too, but since they're in Chinese I can't read a lot.
Is it possible to get instructions in English?
cheers

I am also on this step, unlocked no problem but has the same thing happen when I try to root it. My girlfriend can read Chinese but it's too hard for her to translate it to me because she isn't very tech savvy.
Htc one 802t rooting issue
Same problem. Got a china mobile Htc one 802t
Stuck with sad bloatware and no google play.

you can search for the solution here in One Q&A. I came across the same problem myself when flashing recovery.
I don't really recall how I got into recovery. Try this:
~Make sure quick boot mode of your phone is off
~Flash the recovery via fastboot command.
~after flashing the recovery, do
Code:
fastboot erase cache
in cmd
~reboot bootloader.
~Go to HBoot see if it shows "TAMPERED unlocked" on top of the screen. (if it does then you're to go).
~If HBoot shows no "TAMPERED", unplug your phone and do a factory reset in HBoot menu.
~after the phone boots up, shut it down
~Boot to HBoot by pressing power and Vol- , you should see "TAMPERED unlocked" (doesn't work for everyone)
~If not, see if this help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
read the replies carefully you should find the solution
Also, someone suggests that reboot bootloader a few more times you can eventually get "TAMPERED unlocked" and boot into recovery.
I DONT THINK ANY OF THE CUSTOM ROMS IN XDA IS WORKING ON 802T SO BE CAREFUL !
Hello
I just received my one double sim, hope I can put gapps, and use of Google account.

802t root
Aha! Found this thread finally...
I've got the same problem, trying to root the 802t Chinese version. Has anyone found an easy to follow solution in English yet?
I'm in the same boat too. I have a 802d. I need another ROM.
So it seems that some owners flashed custom recovery.
For those who have problem to go in recovery, I've got the same on my HK version (which is M7_UL).
To solve this issue, I just keep flashing in fastboot (cmd line). The all-in-one tool was not working well for me. But at least it provides all what you need (adb and fastboot).
Very important: remove the "fastboot" option from the ROM Energy parameters. It's in the setting of Android, it's not the 'fastboot' we're talking about to flash. This cause problem to access recovery, even if the flash was ok. So make sure you find this option which is activated by default.
If someone can confirm he's done it. I will do on my wife's 802d and post step-by-step instructions.
Before flashing a ROM we need to have advices from dev. we have SD support, dual SIM, different base band...
We will loose some functions by flashing a UL ROM. We need to know which one first. We can also loose all the functions... I mean brick the phone!
There is no RUU yet available for 'non chinese reading people'. Take this into account before trying
Do someone has tried a backup/restore in recovery? Does it work?
I'm not a dev but I can understand questions or tests. I do not have the solution but will be very happy to get info from my phone for people who have the knowledge I'm missing

Hi, could you paste some links to this forum?
I'm used to read Chinese website with chrome translate.
it's good enough to find what I need I think.
But you mean at least that I can flash CWM on the 802d the same way I've done on my 801s (HK)?
It's safe and after I can boot the original ROM again? I know it will also reset the phone and delete all data.
I know it's exactly what you write but I prefer double check. My wife will kill me if I brick her new phone...
On the Chinese forum they are using Chinese custom ROMs with baidu apps, weibo... or something more 'google'?
For example in the 'stream' (the main page) of sense 5 she has only news of China in Chinese! On my phone (the same in fact), I have the french news... She complains

This is a Rom with permanent root that works on 802d/w/t , there's a special Recovery for Mainland China variants provided in the thread.
Here's the hidden download link of the rom in case you have trouble registering:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=581602&uk=3660368359
I read the instruction, the rom comes with removable bloatware of Chinese carrier and promotion apps from the Rom builder. And aroma has been removed in order to solve the freezing problem.
as for the news*sources, I don't know. Some said they flashed the rom and get foreign sources, some said they get local sources with the very rom.
Still, I must WARN you I'm NOT a Chinese variant user and have no experience on rooting or flashing roms on one. It's your own risk.
Read the instruction carefully!!
Rooted vanilla ROM
wow, this sounds promising! Thank you for that~~
The next question I have is, if I don't want a custom rom, I just want to use the original rom but rooted, can I still just install the regular superuser.zip once i've installed this custom recovery?
Wouldn't that work?
Ok, we can thanks 人云奕云
I've downloaded the recovery and the custom ROM. he's right, easy to translate a forum but going through registration...
I've seen that they are also following xda as a lot here are using imported versions. I will not be surprized to find a port from UL version soon.
When I check the apps in the ROM zip, i can see many google apps, sounds good.
Do not be too happy for now. Nothing says that the ROM is what we expect. But at least it will root our phone and open it a little bit.
I will give it a try when I can get my wife's phone.
Recovery and boot (+required adb and fastboot) can be downloaded from here:
XXXpan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=581597&uk=3660368359#dir
(remove XXX and paste the link)
Be carefull you need to choose the good file. For recovery it's easy (d/t/w), for boot you need to use google translate:
When you download the files you may not be able to see chinese characters.
nb: I don't understand why there is a boot.img to flash. Be carefull for now.
For me: the order is the same as on the site. So download accordingly.
1st: 移动版一键刷入 = china mobile (802t)
2nd: 联通版一键刷入 = china unicom (802w)
3rd: 电信版一键刷入 = china telecom (802d)

For me yes.
In the zip of the ROM I have there is Superuser.apk in system apps folder.
I imagine you can try (Nandroid backup first!).
If the zip just put the apk in system/app it can work. But I have no idea if the paths/partition for this folder are the same between the models, I'm not a dev at all.
On the Chinese forum they refer to this thread as support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
Follow it to unlock via HTCdev but flash the specific recovery files (and boot?), not the one on xda.

Yes, you can find the Play Store in baidu apps.
But on my phone it just open then close directly. Maybe you need to install additional things. The worst for me is the "blink feed" only for China and only in Chinese, you can go around the lack of Play store by downloading apks directly.
Even the web Play Store does not work. My one is recognized as a 'samsung something' and when I click on Install, nothing happens. But I'm in China, so maybe out of mainland it's different (no great firewall).
try and report please.
you can also try to unlock the phone and flash the Gapps.
I can confirm that superuser installs and works perfectly (so far!) on the 802t. The modified CWM recovery from the chinese forum works great, and allows us to get into recovery mode.
Phone is rooted finally,
Tested with Titanium Backup~~
Thanks everyone! :good:

That's good news!
I just finished to change the apps in the Chinese custom ROM (I used the one from mike1986's ROM).
I will test it tonight.
Ok, that's straight forward:
0/ download the required tools: use All-in-One tool in the sticky of HTC One section at xda.
BE CAREFULL: do not use the recovery provided, it's just to avoid downloading the Android SDK!
1/ unlock your phone using HTCdev website.
You need to register in order to get your unlock file.
Unlock your phone with fastboot. Just follow HTCDev instruction.
2/ install the recovery you find on the Chinese website.
BE CAREFULL: One recovery per type (802d/t/w)
I've done:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename the one you download accordingly)
fastboot erase cache
Switch off/on the phone.
3/ download the ROM from Chinese website.
This ROM is from XiaoXiang8002. I didn't ask permission to put his ROM here. I can't communicate in Chinese. Anyway, thanks to him!
Before flashing I changed some apk I took in mike1986's ROM (xda dev section for dwnld)
nb: on first attempt I swapped too much apps... com.android.phone keeps FC.
4/ push the ROM on the internal storage (not external SD)
5/ boot in recovery (it's touch version), and flash the ROM:
flash
factory reset
wipe cache
reboot
enjoy...

Same question with Play Store. Which apk? no more vending.apk in system apps...

4.3 update messed up my phone

I have rooted HTC one google edition. I received a new official updated that I installed through twrp, after installation it told me that root access was lost and i could restore it by pressing restore root access option. Since then i cant get past the Google screen. My phone basically gets to Google screen then restarts, gets to Google screen and restarts. I tried factory reset, did not help. What should i do?
If you have a Google Edition rooted phone, it shouldnt have installed the OTA with a custom recovery installed. You'll likely have to use the RUU in the original dev thread. you'll want to backup your sdcard via adb cause the RUU will wipe everything.

what does device manager say?
if it says something like QHUSB_Download mode, you're screwed, get it swapped out
if you can get to the bootloader, you can probably install a recovery again and install a stock 4.2.2 or 4.3 rom and get back up and running.

Learned the hard way.
Your phone is not recognized, because you haven't updated your ADB and Fastboot files on your computer. Once, you do that.. You will need to download hboot 1.44 that gunnyman has in the 4.3 thread via RUU. After that is done find yourself, the RUU from whatever provider your phone is running under.. Ex: Dev or Tmo or ATT etc etc.. That should fix you up. I did this to my device once messing around with it.. But my problem also was with a locked boot loader that had 4 exclamation triangles on each corner.. No boot screen for start up even came up.. Just back to the boot loader of doom.

then all is not lost. you're having either a driver issue or trying to use a usb 3 port or something like that.
boot to recovery
type adb devices
if it gives a number you can sideload a ROM.

it's stock rooted 4.3
sideload it in twrp

He obviously has some sort of thing going. It clearly states in his OP, FYI. That he "was" rooted "before" the update. Umm & if he can get into boot loader & TWRP Recovery... He still has a chance.

[Q] Blue screen after attempting 4.4 update

I don't know what I did, but I now get a blue screen that I can't get out of after getting the 4.4 OTA update. I rooted and installed a GPE 4.3 RUU previously with CWM and when 4.4 came along, I just didn't be careful. I cannot even get to the bootloader to do anything. Help! What do I do? Everything I try just puts me back at the blue screen.

I rooted and installed a GPE 4.3 RUU previously with CWM and when 4.4 came along, I just didn't be careful. I cannot even get to the bootloader to do anything. Help! What do I do? Everything I try just puts me back at the blue screen.

Exact same issue, at first i couldn't get to bootloader, but after a couple attempts, you should be able to get to it... I literally did the exact same thing as you did, was it because you HTC wasn't google play edition? I flashed a custom rom for Google play 4.3 and did the O.T.A update, blue screen with pixels kind of floating around. Keep me updated
OK, I got back into bootloader (I'm an idiot and was holding down the wrong button). Just reinstalled the 4.3 file and everything was good from there.

I'm in the same boat. How'd you reinstall 4.3?

Yeah???? I'm lost
If you have access to your bootloader, just go into recovery. From there you can install the old rom.

Lost my old rom, pretty much hooped i think
grab the RUU here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
get to fastboot mode
then enter RUU mode with fastboot oem rebootRUU
then flash the RUU with fastboot flash zip RUUname.zip
do that command twice.
then reboot and you'll have a good clean GPE 4.4 install.

Mark please create a new thread..
it's the fastest, best and most reliable way.
You have no one to blame for this but yourself. it's your fault your phone is screwed up and your fault you don't have a backup.
After running that RUU if you don't screw with anything and don't load a custom recovery you will be able to get future OTA updates.
I've done the OTA so far on 3 One's that I had previously converted using the 4.3 conversion RUU. none of them failed catastrophically. I had to uninstall Xposed; and mine had a custom build.prop but those were minor hiccups that were easily fixed. I'll be doing the OTA on a 4th one later today so I guess we'll see if my luck holds up..

I have back up, i got the blue screen then i went to recovery and got every thing back. The link you posted tells me how to update but they also tell me that all the mobiles memory will be erased, is there any way i can update with out erasing the memory?
no. running the RUU will wipe /data. it's unavoidable.
if you can't boot normally you'll need to pull your stuff off via ADB and save to your PC. then after running the RUU you can copy files back. I would NOT recommend restoring data from a nandroid since it doesn't sound like you had a successful conversion to 4.4 with the OTA so you'd be restoring old 4.3 data structures.

thank you
one more question, if i run the RUU and i get the 4.4 update will i get the blue screen when updating to a newer version?
why even did the blue screen in the first place? i have the build number: JWR66V.H10 and i know that it is the original GE.
you seem to be misunderstanding. the RUU is the 4.4 update. There might be slight ota updates but until 4.5 comes out there won't be another major update you'd install.
you flashed an ota update from a custom recovery Don't do that!
that should be JWR66Y.h10! you missed an update in between. not sure how the update ran at all with the wrong build. your recovery must not have been enforcing requirements.

i have just found out what may be the problem, s-on
i have tried to change it before but there was nothing for hboot1.54.
i tried Rumrunner, at first it gave me error but after installing the HTC drive twice it appeared to be working.
sadly it reaches a point after 2 fast boots then tells me: FATAL
I don't know what to do.

yes you have to have a pc . Download the program and just follow the guide. Should be very simple . But you do need stock to get this update. After you are done flash back or just restore back-up

I checked the link and it is the old update from 12.17.2014 or 1.47.652.1. I couldn't find the newest update or anything from 2015 at all on the HTC site anywhere. I received the update today, 1.48.652.2 (30.68MB), but after it downloaded, restarted and tried to install, it gave me a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Has anyone else seen this? (My bootloader is locked and I fully wiped my phone and sdcard before installing the Boost stock RUU so nothing should be interfering) I contacted HTC and they walked me through some steps to fix it, but eventually they told me to contact Boost. I didn't contact them yet, but Boost Zone says the system updates on my phone are up to date.
Please Help(boost)

My phone fails when I try to install the update, also. Is your bootloader locked? If it is unlocked, the RUU update will fail.

I wouldn't bother. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile and they both said there is nothing they can do about it. I think some of us have to wait until 1.48.652.2 is actually on HTCs site and good to go to download. For now all I see is 1.47.652.1. I wonder why some people can download it perfectly and others can't. I even tried to manually install it through the stock recovery. It downloads to the Download folder and I thought it had to be on the root of the sdcard. I moved it to the root of my internal sdcard and tried to install and it failed. I used the "OTA_A11_CHL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.48.652.2-1.47.652.1_R_release_420824qapx9dhr8n40gasg.zip" name and even renamed it to update.zip like other HTC phones use. I extracted the recovery.img and tried to flash, thinking it would help for some reason, with no success. I tried all I can do with my knowledge on this subject. Either one of the geniuses on this site can help or we'll have to wait.
Red Triangle 10% into 1.48.652.2 on Boost. On stock locked 1.47.652.1.. Is this the Lolipop update? cause if it isn't i don't care about it. :silly:
Tried installing on fresh RUU on Boost mobile. Update fails everytime. I looked into the update zip. For 30 mbs its got a lot of stuff in it. It updates most of the system apps as well as gapps. also theres some new certs getting installed. Maybe its a prep update.

No it's not Lollipop, just security enhancements and bug fixes. I contacted HTC and Boost and there is nothing they can do at the moment about our problems with updating. I think we just have to wait until Lollipop comes out and they release an official RUU.

Stuck in recovery mode

Hey guys I just got an 84 MB update from T-MOBILE, but for some reason when my phone was updating there was an error, and my phone now only boots into recovery mode(the "No Command" screen). Does anyone know where I can find any of the update files so I could try to update through ADB? If not, then my only is to unlock the bootloader and install a Custom ROM, but I wanted to know if I could still use my mobile service (T-MOBILE) if after installing a Custom ROM? Any advice is appreciated!
What phone model?
If it's an L90, you should and you're still able to either download mode, you can flash stock kdz ROM, root, unload bootloader, flash custom recovery then any custom ROM you want.
just wipe all partitions and put a stock lollipop rom but a flashable zip file is needed and put it on a sd card and flash it and there you go you have a working phone in just a minutes

Hello, I too have this issue. However I do not have a computer... Is there any way to fix it via an sd card? If there is, please link. I'm desperate for help, I'm sick of dealing with cheap phones since it stopped working...

I also do not care about the data on it, I merely want it working. After all, I've already factory reset it in hopes of fixing it, no luck
