[Q] X1063 Custom Recovery won't download roms or wipe - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have correctly installed the custom recovery onto my X1063, however the recovery will not work. I can get into it, but if I try to install a rom or do a backup it fails and reboots. Has this happened to anyone else? And how do you fix it? Thank you!

That's very vague. Which recovery (including version)? Please describe your steps exactly. Also post exactly the error messages.

[Q] Flash recovery permanently in Legend???

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.

If I well understood it is impossible to flash a permanent recovery in the Legend. But a temporary recovery is possible via Rom Manager! Right?

If you need to have the recovery any time in your phone and you don't need ROM manader, you can try this:

I have it on my SD card all the time it and it works great

TWRP Recovery Problem..

Sometimes when I boot in recovery I get a "no OS installed error". I have to reboot the recovery in order to fix it. Does that happen to anyone else? If so, do you know what causes it? It seems to have only started happening recently? Maybe it's the 4.2.2 roms?

I haven't seen that before, sounds odd. Try reflashing recovery and wiping cache, also make sure you're updated to the latest CWM

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.
The link you gave redirect me for a post of yours.

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.

Can you be a little more specific? It would really help others trying to help you. If that makes sense.
What happened? Did you flash TWRP over CWM, or vice-versa? Can you not access any sort of recovery?
I would try installing TWRP through this guide
Also, did you install a ROM before this? Did you flash an incorrect modem?
If you did, and don't have a recovery, I recommend checking the link above.
Thank you,
Stephen

We figured it out.
We followed the guide found here: VERIZON ONLY Revert to stock GUIDE [UPDATED] - xda-developers
I hope that anyone who comes across this thread will be able to resolve this issue with having access to only fastboot.
(Restoring access to download mode via this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2681089)
I had a similar encounter playing around with my G2....If you know how to restore to 100% stock VZW VS-980 firmware its a whole lot easier to get things back n moving. their are a couple methods but this is the one I approve of to be the best one

Stuck at reboot after flashed the new version of twrp

I have flashed the 3.2.1.0 version of twrp recovery but it stucks at reboot when i reboot the system well i don't know what to do if i flash the old versin 3.1.1.0 is it would be problem. Now i am on stock rom and recovery. Open for suggestions.
It may be a kernel problem. I had the same thing happen on stock. I fixed it by downloading a ROM then installing TWRP. After install go right into recovery after you disconnect from Odin and clean flash the new ROM. No problems after that.
Any errors on screen as it boots?

I used the latest TWRP and immediately flashed the Teleteam s8n8 ROM after installing TWRP. You can find the ROM on here with a quick search.
