Help with root, cant get into recovery image!

okay I followed regs guide and when I reached the part to where I have to run the command to flash the custom recovery image
regaw says it may take many seconds for it to complete
when I do it it takes less than 1 second and when I run the final command to reboot the phone into the recovery menu it simply boots up normal
I have tried booting while holding the home button and still a no go
I think the recovery image isnt flashing into my phone for some reason...
but cmd says it was successful , any help apreciated

can anyone help?
please, I've followed everything as it should be.
I've tried 3 computers(2 running XP , 1 running windows 7)
I've Hard reset the phone everytime I have tried to perform the root
Everytime I flash the recovery img it says its successful but when I place the comand to reboot into recovery my phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull.
I don't get what I'm doing wrong
I have all the files in the correct directory
I have usb debug on
I have set the phone to charge only
I have htc sync installed
any help apreciated :/

just mount your sdcard copy the recovery to it again then try to flash it once more. it could have corrupted the image on the first copy. if that doesnt work. try to download the 1.6.2. recovery image and flash that.

can you point me to where I can find that download?
Thanks I will try to mount the card now

No luck putting the files directly into the card ; ;
what else should I try?

I'm having the same issues. I'm running a brand new hero not even activated yet that has 1.5 (sprint send me new one bc couldnt revert.. didnt know root was coming) ANYWAY I need help.
I have root and I've copied damage controls zip to my sd card. I tried rebooting into recovery mode and i get an error picture so I had to reboot.
this is frustrating.. can someone give me step by step including commands that I should type? I can load the sprint 2.1 and unlock (have old version) but right now im as frustrated as all the other noob's.
it sounds so easy but im clearly doing something wrong..

Formatted SD Card and now bricked I think HELP!!!!

I need help badly. I was trying to do a FULL system wipe from CWM including SDcard and then sideload my install from adb. But something went horribly wrong because as soon as I hit format sdcard the phone shut down and now has NO access to the SDCard so I can't install any roms or anything because as soon as the installer tried to access the SDcard the phone crashes and reboots. I don't know what to do. Am I screwed or is there some way of recovering the SDCard again in this phone?
Also this is a Rogers HTC One and afaik there is NO RUU for this phone yet. Need help urgently.

Dude that's not going to help me. Read what I wrote. The SDcard is screwed up and as soon as anything tries to read or write the sdcard the phone crashes....I have no problem sideloading a zip to the phone it's when it tried to install that the phone crashes EVERY TIME.
Also TWRP recovery does NOT work on this phone now because TWRP tries to access the sdcard when it loads. CWM will load up but cant install a rom because the SDcard is somehow bricked and I need to know if theres a way to fix it.

Ok and now I apologize because it turns out sideloading DID work after all BUT. I had to sideload a NON aroma installer ROM (cyanogenmod) to the phone. Cyanogenmod was able to finish the install somehow without crashing the phone mid-way through the install and once it was booted up the SDcard portion of the phone was no longer corrupted and crashing the phone. I am able to access it in CWM and TWRP again without crashing .
So if anyone else out there has this same problem where they clicked "format SDcard" in CWM or TWRP and all of a sudden your phone constantly crashes when it does ANYTHING to access the SD card. Try sideloading cyanogenmod onto the phone and THEN go back and wipe again to install the ROM you wanted (in my case ViperOne). I thought for SURE my phone was a goner. I couldn't do anything but then finally decided to try sideloading CM 10.1.3 just for shi*s and giggles and it WORKED my phone is saved

[Q] NookHD wont let me boot to stock after trying to install new rom

I was trying to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097731
because my tablet kept having soft reboots. I updated everything it told me to and now I have cyanoboot. I forgot to download the updated rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968
to my NookHD and I'm stuck at the bootloader like an idiot. I tried to adb-push the rom but no luck. I tried a tutorial but it wanted me to adb push to sdcard which I'm very sure it doesn't have enough space. I tried removing the micro sdcard to and see if it'll boot me back to stock but instead it tries to boot to cm which is not on the tablet anymore. Help me please.

[SOLVED] Bricked LG O4X, not detected by SW Updater

Right, I was foolish enough to try rooting, and installing Cyanogen mod on my Optimus 4X HD, without any prior experience. I was quite nervous about it all, but after my phone started acting like a retard, I decided to go through with it. Found a guide online.
I rooted it, installed CWM (or atleast I thought I did), then I hit enter Recovery Mode, and got stuck in a bootloop where the LG logo was just flashing. Then I went into Android Recovery (which I thought was CWM at first) and wiped the cache, wiped data / factory reset, and tried to apply an update that was on my SD card (where I put the Cyanogen zip). It would not find my SD card, probably because its in NTFS format, and not FAT32. Still stuck in a bootloop.
I then decided to revert back and install a new FW.
Heres a list of what Ive tried, and what errors Ive got when Ive booted the phone into SW update mode. (Vol down and power)
LG Mobile Support (Error: Phone has newest version of software)
LG PC Suite (Error: Same as above)
Software Update through KDZ file (Error: Phone / device not found)
Software Update through .DZ & .DLL file (Error: No progress being made on LG FLASH TOOL, also tried different versions)
Ive tried countless versions of drivers, uninstalling and installing every single one of them. Also disabling / enabling USB MODEM DRIVER did not help. My last idea is to put an update on my SD card after Ive bought a mem card reader and made it into FAT32, could that work? If so, where can I get the update? Hope you can help a desperate man. Thank you.
Running Win8.1 64bit.
PS If you need any more info, please ask and I will fill you in as detailed as I can.

since you haven't able to apply update, just wiped thing, I see no reason you cant' boot to stock LG
0) " made it into FAT32, could that work? If so, where can I get the update? " -> do more research
1) Did you unlock bootloader? if dont know then do more research
2) kdz update: windows enabler on? dont understand -> more research
3) driver: unplug, remove battery, hold volume down, insert batt back, plug in

0) Okay
1) No, bootloader is locked
2) I tried flashing with KDZ v20b, but phone was not found with the application. Tried several drivers and USB ports. Enabler was on yes.
3) Those instructions have been followed.
LS.xD told me it could be because of win 8.1, so I will try with win 8 and win 7 later today.
He also said Ive been stupid for trying to do this with android 4.0.3, and not updating to 4.1.2 first. I guess this is what happens when a noob tries new stuff, although the guide I followed did not bother mention that.

Issue has been solved. Thank you for everyone that helped, especially LS.xD.
My problem was a OS / Driver Compatibility issue. I tried installing a driver, and flashing with v20a on my neighbors computer, and it worked 1st time. We were both running win 8.1, but something must be wrong with my computer I guess.

I have the same problem and i don't know what to do
i have tried different computers and i still having the same problem
phone is n't found
any one can help me plz

When i was stuck in that screen the only way i found to get out of it was to remove the back cover and disconnect the battery

I have the same problem
-I have rooted my htc mini2 and after a while decided to restore the original ROM but everytime i turn on the phone i have that red warning message.
One day i decided to delete de TWRP backup files bacause it takes a lot of space on my internal memory .
Yesterday my baterry died so when i was turning my phone it gets stuck on that message screen . So i can't get through because on my internal memory i don't have the TWRP files to backup or get into recovery mode.
Is there any solution? i was thinking about putting those files on my sd card and see if the phone will read them?

No, not possible from SDCard alone, you have to flash TWRP by placing TWRP in PC ADB folder (ADB must be installed in PC and device should be able to enter bootloader and fastboot) and entering bootloader>fastboot on device, then connect device to PC, this only works on unlocked devices.
Command is :
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot erase cache

Hey, i had the same issue. After rooting my phone, when my phone died because of the low battery, the same thing happened to me.
The solution is pretty simple, actually - you have to restart the charging unit of your phone.
So what you gotta do is this:
leave it to charge a couple of minutes (so it will have enough power to boot again) and then just press all the buttons of your phone at the same time and hold it for up to 10 seconds, so power button + volume up + volume down.
This will restart your charging unit and it will get your phone to boot normally again. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know why this keeps happening, but I have to do it all the time, if my phone dies. So I try to make sure it has enough battary not to die, because it is just annoying.

i have the same problem. if you hold the power button + volume up you can reboot your phone if it is frozen.

the trick is to keep hold of power vol up & vol down for 2 mins,it will boot,reboot,boot,reboot loads of times,keep hold for at least 2 mins,once you let go it resets itself:good:

make sure you have a some means of installing Android back onto your phone placed on your SD card or internal storage
I recommend updating to the latest version of twrp before trying these (I used 3.0.2.0)
twrp>wipe>advanced wipe>select everything but: "/Micro SDCard" "/Internal Storage" "SD-EXT" and "USB-OTG
after that install Android by restoring from a recovery backup or instal a custom rom onto your device (whatever floats your boat)
