Okay about a month ago I root my gf evo 3d , she has hboot 1.5 so I followed the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821.
Everything has been working fine up until about a week ago , her phone started running hot and the battery would drain really quick with barely any usage. So my plan was to do a factory restart and full wipe and reinstall the rom fresh but when I tried to get into recovery the phone just shuts off , then goes to the boot screen then after the boot screen the phone just restarts itself. I even tried to do a factory reset from the phones menu options and the same things happens. The ways I tried getting into recovery are by using the shutdown menu options (hold power , reboot , recovery) , I've also tried rom manager and last I tried getting to recovery from bootloader and nothing seems to work.
I am completely lost PLEASE! HELP!

You should reflash your recovery to TWRP using fastboot. Then boot into recovery using fastboot. From there you should be able to do a complete wipe and flash a ROM. It is outlined in the thread you linked OP and second post. Feel free to come into the d3rp q+a thread in my sig if you need more help.
It worked thanks you

As a heads up to some of the inner workings.
All the methods you listed are correct methods of booting into the recovery. ROM Manager selecting boot recovery, booting into the bootloader and selecting recovery and also adb shell, reboot recovery.
The boot order goes: bootloader -> kernel -> recovery. Once you see the HTC screen or whatever custom splash screen is loaded, you know the device is now booting the kernel. At this point, if the device hangs on the splash screen or reboots again to the splash screen, something is wrong with the kernel "recovery" itself.
If you get this rebooting to splash screen or hanging on splash screen two or three times in a row, that should be sufficient to know, you have correctly booted the device into recovery mode and the next step is to reflash the recovery, essentially reloading it.
We can speculate on how/why the recovery became corrupt on your device, but in the end, these things sometimes just happen to no intentional fault of the user.
Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but if it does, hopefully this extra information will help prevent a bit of frustration the next time around!

So you mean, stuck at the splash screen(HTC with white screen) and reboot again and again is because of the recovery destroyed? My phone stuck at the splash screen for about 10 seconds and then reboot again and again. I have tried to flash many recovery images, includeing twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, cwm-1.0.4, cwm-1.0.5, cwm-5.0.2, all failed to boot up into recovery:-(
Thanks in advance!

I just unlocked my bootloader (via the toolkit) and then proceeded to install TWRP 2.5 (manually, via fastboot).
The next goal is to root the phone, but I cannot find a way to boot to recovery. I've tried using adb and I've tried it by using the volume keys and power/lock button while in bootloader mode.
The white HTC splash screen comes up with the red warning text at the bottom (the message that comes up when you're booting into a custom recovery -- I forget what it says offhand: something about a build being for development purposes or something). This splash screen is on the screen for maybe half a second before disappearing. After this happens, the normal HTC splash screen (same thing without the red text) pops up and the phone proceeds to boot normally.
This is my second One and the second time I've attempted this. The first time I had no issues, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried re-downloading/re-installing TWRP and I've tried fastboot erase cache (which I didn't know about until having searched for a fix). No error messages popped up at any point during the flashing process, so I'm quite confused.
Has anyone else had this happen and if so, how did you fix it?

I had this issue, if you boot into bootloader does it say tampered? If not turn your phone completely off and then boot it into bootloader. Then you should be able to enter recovery. I ciuldnt enter recovery until my bootloader read tampered.

You're right, it won't boot to custom recovery until it says tampered. I'm pretty sure I've rebooted several times since installing TWRP, but either way it's working (for) now. I'm not sure what the hell made it "click," but I'll take it. Thanks.

Yeah it took me more then 10 tries until I just shut it off and then went into bootloader and there was the tampered. Glad it worked out for you.

I had the same problem. I just did "adb reboot recovery" once and it worked, and it boots to recovery from the phone now every time.

At the top of your devices when at the fastboot screen does it say Tampered?

Yes mine says that. I am a new to this, what do i need to do
Interesting thing happened today which has basically put my phone in a death spiral state. The battery died and after charging it a while I went to power it back on and found it in a boot loop state. I can get into the bootloader, but from there if I select recovery it reboots and the white bar on the right side of the screen fails to fill up, then the phone reboots. I've tried flashing two different versions of TWRP from the bootloader and it still exhibits the same issue.
HBOOT 1.12.1111
RADIO 1.12.11.1210
S-OFF
I was running CM10.1 without much issue until the power issue.
Any thoughts?
Thanks to Zanzibar for helping me work through this on IRC. Eventually the steps outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338391&highlight=boot+loop did the trick.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
The device started booting but hung on the CM logo for far too long. I hard rebooted and installed an updated version of TWRP and then wiped and flashed the ROM over again. More updates to follow.
Well the device worked for the night but when I rebooted it this morning it immediately began the boot loop situation again. I RUU'd once and it got stuck in another boot loop. I got it to boot after hard powering down and it loaded the factory ROM. I rebooted back to the bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 and tried to reboot. Another boot loop. Hard power cycling didn't solve it either, so I pushed the RUU for a second time. Now the device refuses to boot into anything other than the boot loader -- the initial issue from this post -- and no amount of hard power cycling makes a difference.
The phone is currently showing as LOCKED in the boot loader so I dropped it off at the Sprint store to see if they could find anything physically wrong etc. More updates as they are discovered in the hopes that if someone else ever experiences this, they have something to reference.
Thanks for posting. Did you solve the problem? I think I'm having something similar.
Hello I believe my HTC one is bricked. I was changing my ROM, I have done it before but its been awhile so I did it wrong and bricked it. This is what I know.
When putting in the new ROM it showed an error and I realized I forgot to clear the data and cache. So I went back into my recovery to clear the cache and I did a factory reset.
Then it started to boot loop. It would boot to my boot screen, turn off, then boot up to my recovery, show the recovery's logo screen for a very short period then turn off and go back to the HTC boot screen.
I held down the power button and volume down and managed to get to my boot loader from there I did another factory reset because I thought it would go back to stock.
I attempted an RUU to no avail.
All of that got me to where I am now. I can boot to to my boot loader and recovery. I have full access of my teamwin recovery and my boot loader. My recovery says I have no OS every time I reboot. I am not in USB debugging mode and only have access to fastboot from my computer.
I really think I just need a nuclear option to set it back to. %100 stock using only fastboot. My last resort is going into the att store and play dumb.

you can boot to recovery
choose advanced/sideload
then from your pc put the rom you want to push to the phone in the adb/fastboot folder
then
adb devices
(verify you phone are detect)
adb sideload name_of_the_rom_file.zip
(Wait the file is transfered to phone and recovery flash)

Fixed. I went into the att store and a nice gentleman told me what he did. He relocked the boatloader and ran the HTC ruu

i have the same problem but my phone is not being recognized everytime i pull up a linux terminal.
i flashed the android revolution 41 rom and after instalation i accidentally skipped the last step and got stuck in the loop
i am getting the same logo and the clockworkmod 6.0.3.4 screen for a few seconds the phone restarts and gets stuck at the htc logo.

Welcome to XDA
posting your problem with all the needed information in a new thread would help.
when making your post be sure and include
whats on the bootloader screen
and a copy/paste of the results from fastboot getvar all
most likely your not s-off or your not on the correct version of TWRP
also in your new post add @clsA so i get the notification that you posted
My device details: SGS3 T999, rooted, running Jellybean 4.3 on a liquid smooth ROM. Its a year old and has been a solid performer up until now.
My device is stuck in a cycle where it gives a quick vibrate, then SGS3 splash screen with white letters, then black screen, then tiny blue "Recovery booting..." words in upper left of screen, then black screen with couple vibrations, and around and around it goes in the same repeating cycle.
Just before it started I had taken the following actions: Dumped the following 2 files onto my EXTSD card (cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip, gapps-kk-20131119.zip) from my PC, booted phone into recovery mode using TWRP, did a factory reset wipe (success), cache wipe (success), dalvik cache wipe (success), flashed the NIGHTLY file (failed), flashed the gapps file (failed). At this point I should have sought some support. Fool! I next did a reboot step still in recovery mode. Without the reboot happening a message came up stating Superuser permission had been broken (the best I can remember) and the option to have TWRP repair the permission. I opted "yes" to repair. Then the loop started that I can't escape.
I have pulled the battery multiple times, tried a regular boot up, tried a recovery boot up (up volume+power+home) dropping the home button after a few seconds. Nothing is working. Prior to the above steps I backed up everything on the device. So I have backups to use if it can be done. My best guess is that I failed to update my CyanogenMod or TWRP to the very latest versions and it caused this hang up. Otherwise, I don't know what to do and need any help I can get.
Has anyone had this issue or heard of anyone who has and have any helpful suggestions, tips, ideas, etc..?
Thank you in advance. This is my first XDA post. Please forgive and offer tips if this thread needs any scrubbing.
I've had a few similar events for a few different reasons.
I would suggest booting into recovery but it seems you have tried that already.
If the device is plugged into a wall or pc, unplugg it, that has seemed to cause and fix boot issues for me before.
Other than that, I dunno, if you can't get to recovery or fastboot, I dunno...
i had my amaze repaired (power IC, bad data cable caused it to not charge or even boot up or go in bootloader). Now within 30 seconds off booting up it used to restart. and i cant get into the recovery( shows logo and powers off when going into recovery from bootloader). i cleared the cache from bootloader and its now stuck at boot animation( not boot logo) and wont boot completely. before clearing cache after logo it used to show 4ext recovery boot screen then screen off, now it just shows logo and screen off. really need help i got this phone fixed after 1 year. im s-off and running any 4.4.4 rom (dont remember which rom, i think pacman rom)
so basically i can get into bootloader and use fastboot commands (no adb, authorized device). cant do anything else on the phone. is there a way to fix the phone?

reflashed recovery for the 4th time and it worked. it said the cache partition is corrupt. formatted it. phone works now. updating apps caused system ui stopped working error. going to flash other roms.

Glad you got your phone working--your persistence paid off.
Be sure to make a backup before flashing other ROM's.
