Cannot boot into recovery (device already Revolutionary s-off) - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Title says it all. When I move to recovery while in hboot, I press power and the machine immediately jumps to the HTC splash screen and locks up. Machine will boot into GB fine, it just won't enter recovery.
Thoughts?

Did you try Fastboot flashing the recovery

No. I may not be able to get around to it for a week or two, either, but as long as the device is working, I'll be OK until.

[Q] EVO 3D Stuck in boot loop

I have an EVO 3D
UNLOCKED
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
I am in a bit of trouble. I have rooted it and I was running the Olympus Trinity Titan XE ROM and my phone went into a random reboot process. I don't know what I did but it proceeded to then be stuck in a boot loop. I have tried several different methods to try and get into recovery.
I have tried just doing the VOL UP+POWER button to recovery process and it gives me a boot loop.
I have tried doing it from my Mac using the terminal to run fastboot and got another boot loop.
Finally I have tried using the PC86img.zip method. It recognizes the file, then it loads it (evident from the progress bar), and then it doesn't do anything with it.
If I plug it in, it flashes the red LED and keeps flashing it on and off and starts heating up.
I can't turn it on, I can't get into recovery, I can't do anything with it. I'm at my ropes end. Normally I would do this on my own but I have chosen to turn to the wiser than me community of XDA. Please HELP!!!
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Press and hold the volume down button and keep it pressed down. Then press and release or tap the power button on top of the phone to get into recovery. Also the zip should be PG86IMG.zip. I noticed in your post it was.different. I don't know if it was a typo so I just thought I would post it. And if your using fast boot to get into recovery I believe the command is
fastboot boot C:\cwm-recovery.img or replace "cwm-recovery" with the name of your recovery.
Also you could this

I have tried this. Turns out my battery died so now I have to wait for an external battery charger so that I can charge it. My phone refuses to charge it. I have decided to try and re-lock it and try to flash the RUU. I have to wait a bit tho cuz of the wait on the charger.
And yes it was a typo thanks for pointing it out.
As for the fastboot since I'm using a Mac it should look more like:
./fastboot-mac boot (recoveryname).img if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for the reply!
I'll take a look into the link.
Not all recoveries work on hboot 1.50 . I got only two working
First boot in bootloader by pressing volume down+power button, then select fastboot and flash this recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?n72emuv5a1c00sd
after flashing recovery , flash a boot.img from the ROM you want to use from fastboot (sorry dont know mac commands)
And then just follow the steps from step no 6 from the link given below.
You should flash the same ROM(MIUI is used in post below) from which you have flashed the boot.img above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19967637&postcount=16
necessary file are attached in the post and you should put them on SD card
If the above recovery wont boot ....try the recovery from this post

And buddy if you once get this working dont forget to follow the same steps to enjoy flashing ROMS and Kernels without using PC
You dont need to do the step 2 every time. Its only for those who cant get there recovery working.
Hope you device get in working state again
Hi!
I got a boot loop. I flashed my GSM Evo with CDMA rom by mistake and now i'm in trouble. I can boot Leedroid rom via PC fastboot utility and use phone until next reboot, but I can't flash it with any rom.
I have tried even stock roms, but with no result. Tried to flash via CWM, renamed rom to PG86IMG.zip but no result.
I have CWM 4.0.1.4 installed.
HBOOT-1.49.0018
S-ON
Is there any possibility to wake up my Evo?
OK, I solved that problem. The issue was in S-ON. After u install ROM zip you have to flash boot.img of current rom via adb.

Entering fastboot

Is it possible to enter fastboot without a pc? I ask because I had read that if you enter recovery via fastboot its almost like being s-off. I was actually able to flash a kernel that way. Thanks for replying.

Most ROMS will give you the option on the power menu (when you press down power button) to "reboot to bootloader". From there, fastboot is the first option in bootloader. edit: also you could hold down power and vol-down at the same time from powered off state, also AmonRa will give you the option to reboot to bootloader under developer options.

No technique or series of events will ever magically allow an S-ON user to bypass the secure flag and flash a complete kernel, boot.img and all, through recovery. Simply is not possible.
You need to fastboot flash the boot.img which requires a PC.
Rebooting to recovery from the Rom, or entering recovery through bootloader doesn't make a difference.
But to get to bootloader which is what I think you want, turn off the phone then boot by holding power+volume down button.
I think you're talking about flashing a kernel in hboot, which doesn't have anything to do with fastboot. You place the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd card and boot to hboot, say yes to the update, and if you get a main version is older error message, there's a fixmainversionlow.zip that you can flash to avoid that.
That puts you in hboot. To go into fastboot mode, you select fastboot there on the hboot screen.

[Q] Can't access recovery

I am running santod's rooted Stock ICS rom, which has been running excellent, love it very much. Today I went to do a backup in recovery and noticedit will not boot into recovery. I am running the 4EXT recovery as suggested in the rom forum post. Nothing I do seems to be able to boot the recovery. I can't reboot into recovery from the 4EXT app. I boot the phone with the volume down key, and try to enter recovery from there. Still nothing. I get my initial boot logo, then screen goes black, then boot logo again and it proceeds to boot up normally. I have tried re-flashing the recovery from the 4EXT app, I even tried rom manages and using the latest clockwork mod recovery. Nothing gets me into recovery. Also have noticed my phone will not stay powered off when on the charger. If I power off, plug the charger in, after a few seconds phone powers itself on. Could it be related?
I followed the rom installation instructions to the letter.
Installed the 4EXT recovery.
Flashed the ICS radios.
Wiped all my partitions except my SD card.
Flashed rom and have enjoyed for weeks now.
Only other info I know to provide is I installed the debloated/deodexed rom
Did not flash the kernel as I didn't experience boot loops.
Thanks in advance for any assistance folks!

Did you rename or remove the Radio file from the sd card as suggested in the OP of the rom thread?
It will not let you get into Recovery if there is a PG05IMG.zip present on the root of the sd card.
If that's not the case, reflash 4ext from within the Recovery control app.
Just installing the app doesn't install the Recovery.
You must also install the actual Recovery from within the app if you haven't.

Yeah, there is no PG05IMG.zip in the sd card root. Also I have tried reinstalling the recovery from the 4EXT recovery control app.
Current verson of recovery installed is 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC8.
Tried reflashing that, and also the RC9 test build that is out right now.
Still no go on getting into the recovery.
Thanks.
When you do the volume down and power option with the device off, you need to first press the volume down and then while holding that, then press and also hold the power button, you should feel it vibrate, keeeeeep holding them down, do not let go.
Wait until you see what should be a white hboot screen with menu options, then you may let go.
If you hold power first or don't hold them both down long enough, it will just try to boot normally.
Not that that would explain why you can't get there from within Recovery Control app.
What is your hboot version and how did you root your device?

It was rooted using the Revolutionary method, did it a year or more ago.
Hboot version is 6.04.1002
When I try to go to recovery from the hboot screen it does the same, vibrate, white HTC screen, black screen, vibrate, white HTC screen, normal boot. No recovery.
Is there any other method of getting into recovery or re-flashing the recovery?

Yes, you can flash Recovery images from hboot, just like you flash a radio.
With it named PG05IMG.zip and placed on the root of the sd card.
HERE is one you can try.
If that doesn't work, I may have something you can try from fastboot to clear the Recovery cache, and maybe that will resolve the issue.
I have only seen one other user have this occur and his device simply ended up getting replaced because he wasn't able to mount to usb for doing fastboot commands either.

Still no go flashing that recovery in hboot. What is the process of clearing recovery cache?
On a side note, in talking to my father, his bolt seems to have the same issue. We both were rooted with the same method, and I believe we have the same hboot version. Only difference is he flashed the rom using clockwork recovery.
Edit: I confirmed his hboot is 6.04.1002. same as mine

Well, I've got several Bolts here, and a couple of them have that same hboot and were used to test the stock roms with.
So I do not think it's a root or hboot issue, but I do not know what the issue would be other then corrupt Recovery cache.
To try and fix it by clearing the cache, do the following:
Download the erasecache.zip file from www.4ext.net/erasecache.zip
First boot your device into bootloader while connected via usb.
If it reads "fastboot usb" you are already in fastboot mode.
If it reads "hboot usb" then select "fastboot" in the bootloader menu.
Extract the file anywhere on your computer, and then start the file erase_cache.cmd with
elevated rights (right click erase_cache.cmd and select to run as administrator)
Watch for any error messages and tell me the results please.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the above method fails, try this way:
This requires a little adb or command line knowledge(not much) and the appropriate files on your system.
Please boot into bootloader -> fastboot mode
and then issue the following fastboot command:
fastboot erase cache
afterwards boot recovery from the bootloader menu and enter the
wipe menu and format cache

No Go, my tbolt will not mount in Win7, it just says the device has malfunctioned. Rebooting into the bootloader with USB in will not show anything in Windows, even in fastboot. It makes the device connection sound but no devices show up. Running the CMD file in the zip you linked does nothing, I'm at 10 minutes now where it just says "Waiting for device". Is my device just done for?

I think I had a similar problem once. Boot back into your hboot screen. Then select "factory reset". If you have a 3rd party recovery installed, like it sound like you have (4ext, right?), it will boot you to recovery so you can administer the reset yourself (it doesn't actually wipe anything, just brings you to your recovery's home screen).
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the info, but this didn't work either. I'm also on 6.04.1002 and rooted mine a week after the T-Bolt shipped manually via adb.
This happened about a month ago also, and I thought it was ext4 but managed to get an older TWRP recovery to work after working on it for about a day and a half without a working phone. At least I have a working phone at this point.

Might be wise to bring it to Max's attention.
He makes the Recovery that is disappearing and may have suggestions or ideas on how to prevent this in the future.
I have flashed every rom I have ever posted at least once.
Most of them, may times and have yet to run into this issue.
I have had Recovery become corrupted once or twice quite some time back and not be able to get into it.
But it was easily fixed by reinstalling/reflashing a recovery.
I guess what I'm saying, is if there is a common issue occuring on our device with some ICS users and his Recovery, he should know about it.
Here's how to contact him: LINK
Hopefully he can help or look into the root of the issue, since I know he has had a few users with this same issue in the past.

After going over the issue with Max and trying several fixes he suggested (he even made me an app that would format my cache), it seems I either need to obtain an RUU and flash the stock software/recovery back on and re-root or try flashing an updated hboot that already has s-off. The thinking is that it is my hboot that is causing the issue. Does anyone know what files I need? I have a couple of things to try at home to see if I can get my usb working again, if not, anything I do will have to be a flashable zip from the bootloader. Thanks!

Missing recovery?

I bought a used HTC DNA that is S-ON, and does not say UNLOCKED or TAMPERED, but I have not been able to boot into recovery. When i hold volume down and power I just get blinking soft buttons and then the phone reboots. Is there away to flash the stock recovery back on the phone without having to unlock bootloader?
I can adb into hboot via the cli, but i have no options to get into recovery mode. This all started because i wanted to wipe cache.
Thanks.
have you tried "adb reboot recovery"? That should boot you straight into it.

If you still need help, download an app called "flash gui" on the market. Download a recovery image, click img on the one of two options, and flash it. Then hold down the volume down and power and it should work.

Stuck Rooting and Flashing Custom ROM

Hi, I oem unlocked my Nexus 9, installed TWRP and SuperSU, but I think I missed a step before I can go to custom ROMs and all. I've looked for instructions but I'm just getting confused. I firstly cannot reboot into TWRP unless I fastboot boot recovery from my PC every time. If I don't do that, it just boots into the Flounder PVT Ship white screen with Fastboot USB in red and below that HBOOT, REBOOT, REBOOT FASTBOOT, and POWER DOWN.
What step am I missing in this process? Do I need some sort of custom image or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Chris
Hello,
It can get a bit confusing sometimes and people generally expect you to just know lol.
You've not missed a step. Getting into recovery is irritating lol. For as long as I've had it if booted into recovery from the power menu lol xD.
Reboot the Google Nexus 9 by holding the Power and the Volume Down buttons at the same time and wait until the tablet display shows a Google splash screen before releasing the buttons.
If you get a android with an exclamation mark then you've made a boo boo. Dw, even us pros muck up ;]
Go back to your fastboot. Flash twrp like you do. But this time once you've flashed it type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
That should boot your device into recovery after flashing it.
There it should be stuck on there nicely of it takes a while Dw. That's just the fun of owning a N9 lol. That should Do it .
Happy Flashing.
Give us a Thanka if I helped

If you installed TWRP using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The only ways I know to get into recovery are to reboot to recovery from the Power menu of your ROM
OR
Boot to fastboot, select HBOOT, then select Recovery. If TWRP is installed as your recovery this will boot TWRP. If it goes to the dead droid screen then you need to install TWRP properly, using the fastboot flash command above.
I can't get my nexus 9 to run twrp as well.
I go to fastboo, select Hboot, then I get the android with exclamation, volume up and power brings up the original android recovery menu, not twrp. I've unlocked the bootloader, wiped everything and tried again, no luck. Always the same result

Are you using the newest TWRP? 3.1.0.0? It's not working for me either, can't boot to recovery. Use 3.0.2.2 or whatever the last version was
I used the 3.1.0.0
the trick was, after installing it, reboot straight back into recovery, so it doesn't get overwritten
