[Q] how to boot into recovery? - HTC EVO 3D

hi,
I can not boot into recovery. I can only boot into fastboot, can flash twrp-1.0.3 or 1.1.1 or cwm-1.0.4.1,but when I choose recovery from fastboot mode, I just reboot and stuck at splash screen and reboot after about 10s and looping.
BTW, I have hboot 1.5 and s-on, and accepted 2.08 OTA, and followed the HTC method to unlock the bootloader.
Any idea? thanks in advance!

can do adb method?? first thing u must have fastboot.zip
if u have been unlocked u might have that fastboot thing....
if u have it just boot up ur device, after that prepare for adb method
open command prompt type cd "\folder_location" [enter] *without quotes
after redirect to ur folder location just type adb reboot recovery [enter], and u'll get boot to recovery
if this help u please thank me

I can not boot up into the phone, only fastboot available, so I can not do adb method, adb device tell me "no devices".
But anyway, thanks you!

when you're at the splash screen and then it reboots .. usually means there is an issue with the kernel/recovery.
have you tried fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recover.img ? with the hboot 1.5, this method is preferred as it will grant the recovery write access to the kernel.
if you still have your heart set on loading the custom recovery thru booting normal recovery mode, have you tried using the PG86IMG.zip files to flash the recovery.img?
hope that helps!

First download a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or 4ext.
It should be .img file. Put it in the folder in which you have fastboot.exe.
Boot into hboot. Open command prompt and instead of adb reboot recovery , use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (file name should be recovery.img or change command according to the file name). Then type fastboot boot recovery.img. Recovery should boot now.
To make things easier just download free version from here (this will flash 4ext recovery) ----> http://4ext.net/
and install the latest or stable release. then adb reboot recovery will work.

I can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot any recovery.img.
But can not boot into the recovery which flash by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", when in android ,use command "adb reboot recovery", can not boot into recovery, and HBOOT still no recovery menu.
Before you started this process did you make sure to enable usb debugging from within your rom ?? Also did you make sure to uncheck fastboot in the power settings as well ??

Yes , I did disable fastboot in power setting, "adb reboot recovery", phone reboot an go into android, not recovery.
fastboot boot recovery.img to recovery:
/ # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
error scanning partitions: No such file or directory

No, recovery is recoveryTWRP110.img

Issues rooting...

Rooted my original 3d easily. Had to order a replacement and unlocked the bootloader with htcdev method. Now I cannot seem to flash recovery. Tried twrp 1.1, 2.0, 2.1 using PG86IMG through the bootloader.. finds the file , gets to parsing then stops....any suggestions?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
H-boot 1.5?
If so check the forum there are a few work arounds. I unrooted and now want to root it back but not sure what version to use. Tried the htcdev unlock but my phone still shows locked. ! good thing is it is still s-off though and hope that will make the rooting process easier. Go to the Dev section and search there for the information to root.
Maybe try a different recovery file
Have you tried any other recovery files? I believe i had the issue too when trying to flash recovery, I ended up having to use CWM by revolutionary.

a few things here....
your NAND internal memory is not unlocked (meaning you are "s-on") so you cannot flash recoveries through the bootloader if i am not mistaken.
install adb, and use adb to flash recovery.
either way, using adb will get the job done.
here is the command:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot
My understanding is the best recovery to use with HBOOT 1.5 is 4EXT as it allows you to SmartFlash ROM's with S-On. Check that out first and see if it helps with your issues.

He is HTC unlocked, which unlocks the NAND without touching the S-ON flag. Only the boot partition remains locked.
@OP
You cant flash unsigned PG86IMGs. So flash the recovery using fastboot.
Put your recovery.img in fastboot folder and Boot into boot loader > select fastboot > connect to PC > open command prompt > navigate to fastboot folder > type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without quotes).
then check if it works...
hope this helps.................

Stuck in bootloop and need help fast

Ok so
Rooted
S-off
hboot 1.12.2222
was running Mean-rom 4.4
Then tried to install the new apk fix for ringtones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900629
Phone rebooted then then continues to be stuck in boot loop.
What I have tried:
Factory reset in bootloader
clear storage in bootloader
reinstall TWRP to get in recovery as if I choose recover in bootloader it just boot loops.
Tried to install the RUU but it can not connect during boot loops and errors out.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Try fastboot wipe recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, if recovery loops back to bootloader then it's corrupt. Make sure you flash the latest twrp

All I see in fastboot option on bootloader is
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
powerdown
am I missing something?
Those are fastboot commands, you use the terminal
fastboot wipe recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should be able to boot into recovery afterwards
What terminal? I'm a bit lost here
Do you have adb tools or Android SDK?
C:\android-sdk-windows
Open cmd prompt by opening SDK folder and then hold shift and right click, it will say open cmd prompt or something similar I don't recall if adb is in separate folder but I don't think so. From there you can plug in the phone in fastboot and type fastboot devices, it will tell you if you are connected or not. Download twrp and place it in the same folder. Then you can use the commands I listed earlier

Get an error see attached
Now that I am in fasboot usb on the bootloader the RUU can connect to phone via USB.
If I just flashed that and started all over would that work and do I need to unroot and relock before doing the RUU?
Still not having any luck on terminal so far.
Sorry I was busy arguing with gf, it seems you aren't where you need to be if fastboot isn't recognized, I haven't had access to my own pc in quite a while so I'm having trouble remembering if there is another directory

got fastboot working but get this with your first command
That's because I haven't used wipe in fastboot in quite a while, I'm sure I'm just confused on wipe and erase but you shouldn't need it, the first command should be fastboot erase recovery but like I said you shouldn't really have to, it's just like formatting before flashing the recovery, just fastboot flash recovery openrecovery.img or what ever the name is for the twrp file
Ran
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7356 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.112s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.796s]
finished. total time: 2.912s
Hit recovery and we we still are in boot loop

Thanks recovery just loops, could never get in.
Ok this is where I am at (see OP)
We tried flashing TWRP and original recovery via ADB
We tried running RUU
I'm still stuck in a boot loop....
I am having a similar problem stuck in bootloader. I relocked to go to the new firmware and now am stuck in the bootloader. I can access adb but can't access recovery. I am now relocked. Can I unlock again with a fastboot command?
If you unlocked manually, HTC sends the unlock code code just use fastboot to flash, if you used regawmod, just run it again. I don't know if regawmod will recognize the phone in boot loader though

[Sola] How to enter recovery mode?

How can I enter on the recovery mode?
The only thing I installed on the phone was the root, everything is official, dunno If I have a unlocked bootloader or any recovery installed.
But I tried to turn the phone on with volume up and no luck, does not work.
I'm trying to flash the custom boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029
Already tried using the Flashtool (flashtool-0.9.8.0-windows.exe) and the fastboot command on cmd, no luck on both.
Any tips?
Thanks

You dont have recovery with stock rooted ROM mate, you must fastboot the boot image from the link in your post.
First place this boot.img in flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder and then:
CMD program. Run it and type:
cd \
cd flashtool
cd x10flasher_lib
NOW connect phone when you hold Vol UP and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
WARNING: To do this you need to have your bootloader unlocked.
Thank you very much for your answers...
So, I will start unlocking my Bootloader.
One small question, unlocking the bootloader and installing a new boot.img will change anything on the rom? It will create any bugs? Or it will faster and better?
Thanks.
Thank you very much. It worked. I unlocked the bootloader and installed the recovery
Thanks

[Q] Can't get past Bootloader, Recovery, or HTC boot screen with s-on

I'm a nitwit and tried to install a rom with s-on. I now get stuck on the HTC loading/boot screen and never leave it. I can access the bootloader, fastboot, and recovery fine however. Is there a way for me to get either s-off or boot my phone again?
Thanks
This is assuming that you're S-on and running Windows.
You need to install adb. After it is installed, open the command prompt and navigate to where you installed adb.
Ex: d:\phones\rezound\bootloader\andriod\
Next, open up your ROM and extract the boot.img file to where you installed adb.
Then, boot your phone into the bootloader and connect your USB cable.
Once you have fastboot usb displayed on the phone, enter this command into the command prompt and hit enter: fastboot flash boot boot.img
At that point, reboot the phone (fastboot reboot).
Or just use adb/fastboot and boot into recovery, extract the recovery.img file from your recovery of choice (Amon Ra, TWRP, CWM) and place it in the adb directory, then type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash the ROM again... doing fastboot boot recovery.img is in some ways giving you temporary S-OFF and will allow the rom to flash with the boot image. Also remember that on first boot, many roms will appear to freeze for 2-3 minutes or even longer in the boot process, make sure to give the initial boot at least 10 minutes before concluding something failed.
