So earlier I was flashing TrickDroid, and Aroma froze and crashed the phone while it was installing... CWM showed a screen that said root may have been lost, and offered to fix root. I touched it, and this got the phone stuck in a continual boot loop. I've managed to get into the bootloader, but this is after clearing the cache with the terminal command "fastboot clear cache", and I have to type "fastboot reboot bootloader" when the phone boots up (at the HTC logo) in order to even get into the boot loader... otherwise, the phone will try to enter recovery (to no avail). I really hope I did not brick the phone... any help would be great. Can I fastboot a stock image?

Reboot into fastboot and try to fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash recovery again. If you can get into recovery, just try to reflash your ROM or do a NAND restore. Otherwise, use the All-in-One toolkit to help you adb sideload a ROM(this will bypass Aroma's epic failure rate, too, btw).

Great, worked like a charm. I flashed a different version of CWM this time, that might have been the problem? Oh well. Thanks!
Hey guys,
So I wasn't paying attention while trying to restore my HTC One to stock. I ended up formatting and erasing all data on the entire phone. It has no OS now. Here's what I am ABLE to do:
Boot into Bootloader and Fastboot
Access TWRP Recovery
HTC Dev Lock and Re-Lock
Here's what I am UNABLE to do:
Sideloading ADB is unavailable due to error messages stating Unable to mount <partition> and every partition is unable to mount.
I have tried to mount the partitions within TWRP, this doesn't work.
Achieve S-Off
I just need to get the phone back to some type of working order so that I can sideload a ROM over or fastboot a fully stock zip. Can anybody help me here? I've seen very similar issues all over the forums, all of the problems they encountered could be fixed by ADB sideloading a ROM, again, I cannot access ADB sideloading.

U can use a USB OTG cable. Download ARHD(or any rom of ur choice), copy it to a USB. then using the OTG cable, u can flash the rom from TWRP. Once u have a working OS, continue with the RUU process
One other note, I have downloaded two different instances of the shipped ROM for this phone. When trying to "fastboot update update.zip" on either of them, I get the following error message and a failure to update:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n) and what version number of TWRP you're using
your probably just using an outdated twrp version, flash 2.6.3.3 and then retry sideloading
I am in the exact same situation. Phone literally ground to a halt last night, so rebooted it and it got stuck in a boot loop. Phone isn't rooted, it wasn't unlocked at the time (it is now, since I've been trying to fix it for the past day) and I literally have no idea how to fix it. Although I think my situation is worse, I can't access anything else other than the bootloader...
I've tried RUU (which I can't do because I'm not S-Off and I'm on hboot 1.45)
I've tried just flashing a new recovery (but whenever I try to enter the recovery it gets stuck saying 'Entering Recovery' then the phone goes back into the boot loop)
Like literally the only thing I have access to is the bootloader, everything else sends it into a boot loop, hell I can't even format or flash imgs (apart from recovery imgs) without fastboot giving me an error message.
I fear the phone is completely ****ed, and this has come out of completely nowhere. Except now that I've unlocked the bootloader to try and fix it, it says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED which means I WONT GET A REPAIR...

Yep, it still just hangs on "Entering Recovery" before rebooting and entering the boot loop again...
I'm fearing that this phone is just completely doomed now

1- are you sure you're using the correct recovery for your phone (e.g. M7_U/UL vs Sprint!!)
2- have you checked MD5 of the download, to make sure it's not corrupt; TWRP site doesn't play nice with download managers, so please check MD5

Cache is fine, it erases properly
I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" when I try to erase system or data
I have tried flashing every single img from the official TeamWin projects site (the ones that look like openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img) and absolutely none of them work. They all say "Okay" as if they flash correctly, however when I select to go into recovery from bootloader, it brings up "Entering Recovery" then reboots and goes back into the boot loop

My hboot is currently on 1.55, is that not the latest? The phone was on 4.3, and it literally just started boot looping out of absolutely nowhere. This sucks so much and I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anybody who can
When I try to flash a different hboot, I get the error "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)".
Again, MD5s on the TWRP files I downloaded are fine. All I can do is use fastboot to varying degrees of success, and nothing works when I try to use RUU... It's a soft brick, but it's completely and utterly broken and I can't see any way to recover it (and I can't send it for repair since it is now marked as tampered)

and 1 more try: have you checked MD5?
I recently got an HTC One M7(ul) and have been trying to install a custom recovery to install KitKat or Lollipop. So far the only recovery that has worked has been Philz recovery and even then only up to version 6.25.0(All versions after that were 'unified' but don't work). All recoveries appear to install correctly in Fastboot but when booting recovery it hangs on the 'Entering Recovery' screen, flashes a black screen once and returns to 'Entering 'Recovery'. Is this a known problem or am I doing something really weird?

Are you flashing recovery with the correct procedure?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader menu it should load fine

Its not the first time I came across this problem here on xda. 2.6.3.3 has always been the most Stable and reliable version. And for some reason works even with this problem.
2.6.3.3 should work fine with kitkat roms but I'm not sure about lollipop. Unfortunately this Is the only recovery that works in this situation and I'm not sure what causes this issue.
The weird thing is in most cases the recovery actually loads normally but the screen stays stuck on the "Entering recovery" screen. While it's stuck like that you can type "adb devices" it should give the normal output showing the device is in fact in recovery. But for now it means your kinda stuck with 2.6.3.3.
Hey,
Recovery:
I tried to flash a new recovery with OS X 10.10 + fastboot, adb. Unlocking worked flawless but I couldn't flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and boot to it from boot loader. It says flashing worked fine and shows "OK" but when I try to boot into recovery from bootloader it reboots. My bootloader is 48.82.
Not understandable to me, "fastboot boot recovery.img" works. As did flashing the recovery with flashify.
But I still can't boot into recovery from boot loader, only from android power menu it works.
Android File Transfer
Works when I boot the phone into recovery but not when I am in android. Just gives me "No device connected"
Help very much appreciated,
Well, did you double-check the recovery image? Maybe it's corrupted or just OS X fault, and the thing about connecting the phone when booted to recovery, it's normal to not connect

I tried 3 different recoveries (including lucas) from the twrp thread.
Thing is I can boot into recovery when I selected "reboot" "recovery" in the power menu. It doesn't work from bootloader. Additionally I can boot into recovery via "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Hi to all, I had some problems with the battery life on my MotoG (2nd gen) running Lollipop and after a few tries I decided to wipe anything and flash the stock Marshmallow image.
First, I downloaded this image
XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
and flashed correctly, step by step, as wrote here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
I also downloaded this "Universal MotoG Toolkit" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/ultimate-moto-g-2014-toolkit-t2979862
But it doesn't work as it should.
For example, if I connect the device and say to "Rebbot to Recovery from Phone" the Phone just reboot, not in recovery.
Also I found out that a new "Warnning bootloader unlocked" screen appears now, on startup.
Then, I tried to flash TWRP into recovery to Root my device but it keeps going on error "Mismatched partition size", any TWRP I try to flash (2.8.6.0,3.0.0.1).
Also, after this error, If I try to "normal powerup" from Fastboot, I have another error "UTAG flashfile configured as fastboot" so no normal powerup.
What I have to do to power up is flash again motoboot with this command:
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
andf then
fastboot restart
And so, the phone restarts normally.
What's wrong with this?
Well this was happening to me and then instead of going for fastboot restart,, i gone to recovery and then its done ...
How go to recovery?
