[Q] clockworkmod recovery problem - HTC EVO 3D

I have some problems with clockwork mod on my evo 3d (shooter) GSM phone, I got it unlocked bootloader and rooted. I flashed clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0, I can boot in to recovery and navigate the menu, but when I enter an undermenu (like going down to "backup/restore", and hit power to enter) I just get the clockworkmod hat and a loading arrow and it seems to be stuck. I can allways hit power to go back. I think it could be that my phone is S-ON, but I don't know. Please does anybody know what to do? I want to get a new ROM, but do not dear to flash a new ROM until the clockworkmod recovery works. But, every things seems working in ROMmanager, so I could get a backup from there?! what is the problem?! Have tried reflashing clockworkmod...

In clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0 , the power button is the "back" button and the camera button is the "select" button.

thanks!
Thanks to make me feel like an idiot naah, kidding! BUT THANKS ALOT! MADE MY DAY!

Orrrr you could install touch recovery and skip the buttons altogether! About freaking time

You need to wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats.

No, he needs to make sure that he flashed the kernel separately through fastboot, or through an app called "flash image GUI" in the market. If you used HTC's unlock method, the standard custom recovery won't flash a kernel to the boot partition, as that partition is still locked.
If you use Flash Image GUI, you flash the kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
If you use Fastboot, if you use command "fastboot boot recovery.img" while your in the bootloader (fastboot usb) you can flash the ROM and kernel at the same time. See, when you boot normally into recovery, you only have access to write privileges to the system, cache, and data partitions, because of the way HTC's unlock method is. BUT, if you boot into recovery by FASTBOOT, you get full write privileges to all partitions. You do this by having a copy of your recovery.img in the same folder as your fastboot, and adb (same folder which you put your unlock code.bin file in) , and boot into bootloader in fastboot mode, and connect your usb cable, and open a command prompt window inside your fastboot and adb folder, and type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and it will boot your recovery and give you FULL write access to all your partitions and you can flash any ROM as you normally would.

[Q] Stuck in HTC boot loop after a rom install

i was able to successfully unlock bootloader, was able to flash a rom successfully, used that rom for a good couple days. then i decided to try a new rom InfectedROM Eternity™ | RLS_1.5 | NIGHTLYS | 3.0 & 3.5 | XE BEATS |(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277431&highlight=stock+radio), so i went into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, system. then i flashed the new rom, new rom loaded but stuck in that roms boot screen.
i went back to recovery wiped everything out again, installed the 1st orig rom i installed, now it just loads to the htc boot screen, & every 30sec or so the htc boot screen would go off & come back on. i went to recovery wiped everything again, did nandroid restore, same results, any suggestions?
what im using:
unlocked bootloader
s -on
hboot 1.50
using teamwin recovery v2.0

Did you apply any tweaks or different kernels? was your kernal that you are on now compatible with the rom that you had put on? The recovery your on, r you on 2.0 or the second releaese of 2.0?
You could try to reflash your recovery and then try to nandroid back. Or try a different kernel and or different rom and go from there. Kind of hard to diagnose bc not sure of exactly what you have done completely. If all else fails, search for the ruu and re apply the original rom and re root.
From my guess, it sounds as something that was applied didn't apply right. Again, not sure on all the details.. I know its not much to go on but good luck on it.
Look at the bright side, your obviously not bricked and if you have to re apply the original and start over, its not that bad. Just a little time out of the afternoon.
only update i did was the rom
tried about 2 more diff roms, still same issue
hmm.. i also choose the "system format" in twrp, would that have done some damage?
Are you using fastboot to boot into recovery? If not, and you're hboot 1.5, then that's your problem.
And wiping system wouldn't cause any issues as long as you flash a new ROM after wiping the system, before you reboot.

ah ok i manually go into hboot with the down volume + power. did "fastboot reboot-bootloader" into bootloader, wiped out everything & reinstall rom, still same issue.
Try extracting the boot.img from the zip file containing the rom and flashing it with with fastboot binary. If you have S-ON, CWM can't flash the boot partition so you'll get bootloops with any rom that needs a custom initrd.gz. You need to manually flash the boot partition.

Yea, do adb reboot bootloader, and then do fastboot boot recovery.img.
You will need to make sure that you have a copy of your recovery.img in the folder that you are working out of when you issue the fastboot boot recovery.img command

Okay, I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do, I get stuck in a boot loop after installing a rom. Extracting the boot.img and flashing in fastboot doesn't do a thing. My nand backups don't work either (get stuck at restoring boot).
Don't have any problems installing recovery and gaining root. I'm at a loss here. I really want to get my MIUI on!

Are you booting your recovery from fastboot? Fastboot boot recovery.img. If not, boot.img won't flash. It's not necessary to flash the boot.img separately, just boot your recovery from fastboot and you'll be good.

Yup, definitely booting recovery from fastboot.
I had the same problem try to install new recovery VIA fastboot an wipe data/factory reset then flash new ROM u should be all set to go

[Q] Flashing roms to my device/backup?

Im new to the phone rooting thing.
I have found a ROM i want to use on my EVO 3D.
http://bit.ly/HxcO6Z
I been looking into how to flash ROM's on my device and found this video which would maybe work since i also used his method to also unlock/root my phone.
http://bit.ly/HxcW6F
Question is what are the steps i should take.
What if i decide to change my ROM back to stock how would i do this without deleting everything on my phone like it did when i unlocked it?
Just read the tutorials.

You need to write clear sentences.
If you have root and flash recovery, just move ROM to sd card, boot into recovery and flash.
Make sure that you meet all ROM requirements

You are unlocked through htcdev and have s-on, right. If so, you need to put a recovery image in the same folder as you have fastboot, mine is c:\sdk. Once you've got that image in there, put the phone into hboot mode (vol down+power). Now select fastboot in hboot, now plug the phone into the computer. It should say fastboot USB. Now go to your desktop and find the folder that fastboot is in, hold shift and right click in that folder, select open command prompt here. A terminal window should open. Now type fastboot boot recovery.img. the phone should reboot to recovery. From there, select factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Now go back and select install zip from sd, find the Rom that you put on your sd card and select it.
If you don't have a recovery image on hand, here is the one I used when on hboot 1.5 s-on. It's cwm 4.0.1.4. Just change the name to recovery and put it in the folder fastboot is in. http://db.tt/rDBfkbG2
You are gonna lose some data when you flash a new Rom. Just use titanium backup to restore apps and app data, not system data. And while you're fastbooted in recovery, before you wipe anything, go to backup/restore and select backup. This makes an exact backup of your current configuration. So when you want to go back, just fastboot to recovery and restore it(no wiping necessary on a restore)

Rooted and unlocked hboot 1.5, what next?

So I'm now rooted and unlocked bootloader or whatever using the hboot 1.50 method. What's next? I have no idea how to flash or whatever and is like to try roms and stuff. Thank you!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
on hboot 1.5 you need flash gui to flash roms I suggest you go with meanrom.
you might want to do the downgrade process and go to Hboot 1.4 and get s-off and eliminate flash gui.

You dont have to fastboot to recovery to perform a nandroid backup, but you do need to fastboot to recovery to perform the nandroid restore. Hope this helps.

[Q] (BIG Problem/Question) Error after ROM Install. Please help.

i have been running Synergy Rom and causing a lot of problems so I have been tryin to install a numerous amount of roms and after wiping the phone back to factory and the dalvik then when its time to reboot the system i reboot the phone it just stays in the HTC boot up screen. so after a wait 10 or so min i just reload the Synergy rom which is the only one that works.
i am also running Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 if that helps
i would really appreciate it if someone could point me into the right the direction thank you.
Are you on hboot 1.5? Are you flashing the correct kernel?
We're comin from a pure power source.
Yes it is and to be honest I haven't flashed them with any kernels cuz I never have before
Hmmmm, and you're doing a full complete wipe right? Which recovery are you using
We're comin from a pure power source.
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 and yes full wipe and dalvik.
Have you tried a different recovery?

ok as you know the roms come as .zips and we apply them through recovery.... some times that recovery doesnt writ the boot img correctly.... try installing ANY rom....then try to boot up... if it hangs at htc then pull the battery out then put it right back in and hold vol down and press power..then connect the phone to your computer so on your phone you see "fastboot usb"now the rom you tried installing that was the zip have a copy of that on your computer and open up with any program you use to open zips...extract that boot.img file to your fast boot file and where adb is too ,once extracted go back to your terminal window and type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img
it should say that its sending the data then writing it and then from there wait about 30 seconds and then select reboot and the rom should boot up

You cannot directly install ROMs with custom kernels on hboot 1.5 .
You always have to use "fastboot boot <your recovery>.img" or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" like the above post says..... If you dont use PC to flash ROMs with custom kernels , you will always get stuck on the HTC screen.
If you want to be able to flash ROMs / kernels / radios etc without PC, downgrade your hboot from 1.5 to 1.4.
Get flash image GUI from market to bypass fast boot and install custom kernels, or downgrade using unbeknownforce method and closeones live cd

Idk if someone already said this but for 1.5 boot you need to go into fasboot usb . Fastboot boot recovery.img
Replace "recovery" with recovery file name. If your using 4.0.1.0 it might be. Cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img something like that
Second option is use 4EXT and you won't need to use your computer to flash rooms or kernels

First I assume you have the adb drivers.
place new rom on sd card
boot phone in bootloader, select fastboot
Access the adb folder via CMD
type in fastboot boot recovery.img
it should say waiting for device then connect..
you'll see the recovery screen
this will let you wipe and install new rom on hboot 1.5

[SOLVED - see 2nd page] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails

Hello there,
I've had my OneX+ for a few months already and I've been using TWRP for quite a while. A few weeks ago, though, I flashed ViperX ROM and their TWRP-mod recovery. The recovery worked for a while but then the phone decided to simply not boot into recovery at all and instead rebooting into the ROM again. I tried reflashing the recovery and using CWM instead of TWRP. CWM seems to work but when I try to do a backup it just reboots back into ROM after it seems like it almost finished the backup, if I try to Factory reset/wipe anything the phone again simply just reboots to ROM ...
I really have no idea what to do now, plzhalp.

Hi Seleren...
Can you specify which phone version you have? AT&T/TELUS or International?
That would really help us to guide you to the good solution. Don't worry you can not brick your device with patience you'll be back on track.
i had an issue like this a while back. open up an abd and run fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash recovery (yourrecoveryname).img, then fastboot erase cache again. mine wouldnt boot into twrp after flashing a rom, it would show the teamwin screen then boot into the rom and these steps fixed it.

Tried that already, nothing changed at all, TWRP logo shows up and then the phone reboots to ROM. CWM works partially as I said, it reboots when I tell it do do anything (backup/wipe/flash) and the phone is unaffected.
Bump. Help please, I tried flashing another kernel but that didn't help. I can't even wipe or flash another ROM in CWM.
Re: [Q] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails
Try redownloading the recovery and rewriting it. It may be a bad download.

Re: [Q] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails
Flash the kernel and then the recovery with fastboot and see what happens.
Download a fresh recovery for your International (ENRC2B) model here.
Put this file in the platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Plug the USB cable coming from your computer to your phone.
Then open a command prompt window and type : adb devices (you should see your serial at the screen)
Again type : adb reboot-bootloader (Enter)
Type again this command : fastboot devices (you should see your serial at the screen)
Type this command (if serial is successful) : fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_name.img (Enter)
Clear cache with : fastboot erase cache (Enter)
Once done unplug your USB cable, click one time on Power button.
One Volume rocker down to select Recovery.
Confirm by clicking on Power button to reboot in Recovery.
Try to flash an International ROM only.
What result you obtain by doing this?
@Seleren I would be interested to know if the above worked for you? Also useful if anyone else gets this problem

I've already tried that numerous times, I can get to erasing cache etc but once I try to boot into the recovery ... I'm done. TWRP won't boot even after erasing cache. CWM fails at wiping/backuping/flashing and just reboots without any notice at all. I'm really out of ideas now.
Sorry for a bit late answer.
This is really strange. Are you sure you are correctly rooted? Which method have you followed to root your phone? The above method I gave you, I have done this numerous times, switching from CWM recovery to TWRP recovery to access different backup on my phone, and it never fails on me.
Are you sure that your SDK folder is well installed and fully functional? Are HTC's drivers correctly configured? What is your phone responding to you when you type : adb devices?

Yes, I am correctly rooted, I've rooted numerous phones, I unlocked using the official HTC method. I could say I'm not a complete noob to Android. I wouldn't even post here if I didn't try all the standard procedures.
I flashed the Non-touch CWM yesterday and nothing changed (not that I expected it to). I decided I'll try flashing the bootloader in the end but I have to back up my whole SDCard before that ...
Bump.
SALVATION
Well, since I don't want to be like others who just say "Solved", here's the solution I came up with.
1. Get your new ROM's zip to your SDCard
2. Flash CWM since TWRP won't boot
3. Flash ROM from CWM, it will be flashed even though the phone will unexpectedly reboot.
4. Flash the bootImage from fastboot (Thank god at least that works)
5. Go back to recovery, go to Mounts menu and wipe every options you can (cache, data, system)
6. You will most probably lose your SDCard data too.
7. Reflash the ROM you wanted.
8. Voila.
PS: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your device that may occur while using this procedure.
Here something strange I've been encountering... Every time I flash a boot.img over TWRP it won't boot to TWRP. I have to flash the recovery over the boot.img.

I wish that was the problem, I tried quite a few versions, including the one from ALL IN ONE toolkit, an older version that previously worked, the latest version and the ViperX version. Trust me, that was not the problem.

What Lloir meant to say was that the boot.img has nothing to do with the recovery, so flashing a boot.img will NOT change your recovery to so-said TWRP.
TWRP is being flashed by a different command namely 'flash recovery' instead of 'flash boot' like previously mentioned boot.img
