Auto-booting Into Bootloader/Fastboot - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I rooted my LTEvo using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 and now, when my phone is off and I plug a charger in, it automatically boots into fastboot. This happens with both USB and AC. I don't press any buttons, just plug the charger in.
Suggestions? Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, weird.

The issue was resolved by doing a full root and installing viperROM. Most likely an issue with the method listed above or trying to install TWRP while the bootloader was still locked.

Full root vs partial root. Please explain?

I suppose I meant rooting vs. unlocking the bootloader. I used the batch file method in the original post to root and install SU. I then used Goomanager to try flashing TWRP, but the phone just rebooted. The issue started occurring at that point, but stopped when I unlocked the bootloader using HTCdev.com and installed viperROM.

Subtle yet very different

I had this same problem. I fix it by re-flashing the stock recovery via Android Terminal Emulator

Sounds like that would have done it for me as well. I'm guessing the stock recovery got corrupted somehow when I tried flashing TWRP with a locked bootloader.

I'm having the same problem and also still have a locked bootloader too. I did like AmonReviled stated and had tried to install TWRP recovery after only rooting with Zedomax method and have been seeing this issue since then.
Since I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now, I really don't want to get into unlocking the bootloader and heading down the custom recovery and custom ROM road just yet so I'd like to be able to just restore the default HTC stock recovery without losing any of the rest of my data or having to reinstall everything. Especially since I sometimes like to charge my phone while completely powered off, and this issue has made that impossible.
Shook187, can you tell me how you were able to reflash the stock recovery through Android Terminal Emulator? I already have the app on my LTEvo but I'm assuming I also need access to a stock recovery image? Theoretically I'd like to be able to restore just the recovery partition to stock without losing/erasing any of the rest of the data on my phone.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDITED TO ADD: Nevermind, I got it, and it didn't delete any of my data. I used the recovery image and instructions from the OP in the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430 in case anyone else is wondering.

Need Help Recovering Factory

Hello all,
I had the CWM installed, and my phone died when I was asleep, down to 0%.
Now, it won't charge. I got a half charged battery in today, so I'll be able to do some things.
The phone is S-off.
Anyways, I would like to know how I would be able to:
-Remove CWM
-Recovery EVERYTHING to factory default
Also, I'm kind of a noob, so when it comes to telling me to let's say "flash amonra", please tell me how, or link to thread or something. If you can.
All help is appreciated...If I don't get this fixed I won't have a phone for a couple years.
Also, a tip: HTC Keeps track of those who unlock the bootloader on their phone, and tell Verizon. Which is how they find out even if you reflash, relock, etc.
First thing to do is get rid of that recovery! Soo many issues and you can use either the TWRP 2.1.1 recovery or AmonRA 3.15 (located in the dev threads). CWM causes phone charging issues (as you are aware) and I recommend not using it.
Are you familiar with flashing a recovery in fastboot? Were you running GB or ICS firmware?
I suggest you familiarize yourself with all the root lingo contained in this thread.

I believe you would use the command "fastboot flash recovery [file].img".
I wasn't running the IceCreamSandwich update, pretty sure of that. So it must be the GB. I would like to know how to remove the CWM.

Yes that command is correct you just have to make sure the recovery file is in same folder as your fastboot.exe.

Well, I fixed it. Or at least it seems. All I had to do was flash the latest RUU (which was actually the currently installed rom on my phone).
Well, hopefully clockworkmod is GONE.

CWM was great on my Incredible...but I've had the same problem you did with charging issues, not to mention backups that would freeze in mid stream.
Flashing a RUU was the only way I could find to fix it.

AT&T Factory ROM

Anyone know where I can find the AT&T Factory ROM i forgot to do a backup and need to put this ROM back on the device.
i can not find it.maybe few months later,you can get it here.
Is it weird that there's no RUU? It's been a while since I had an GTC phone so I don't remember how long it took to have one on a new phone.

I feel like it is weird, though the One is the only device I got close to release. My Vivid and Inspire were both purchased a few months after release, and iirc the ATT RUUs were available when I got it, but I guess that doesn't mean they were available at release.

I flashed the odex version and returned it to AT&T. Worked like a charm. Unfortunately no one has posted the stock AT&T recovery but I used the stock international version. You can find that here:
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
Actually, this leads to a nagging question I have as a first time rooter. I want to use the stock ATT Rom, but root the phone so I can install apps than requre root access and am all about taking back total contole of my device.
SO If I want to keep the stock rom and just root it, I would need to back up the device?
So if someone could throw me a bone How would I gain root access to the device whilst keeping the stock ROM?
I plan on using Hasoon's Tool kit.

flash the stock rom through recovery and then flash superuser.zip in recovery. boom. rooted on stock
If you are completely stock then Once you unlock your bootloader flash twrp recovery. Then boot to recovery. Then reboot from recovery. Twrp is smart enough to recognize you don't have root and prompt you to install superuser and binaries. After that I found a busybox flashable zip via google, as the busybox installer from the market wouldn't work for me. This leaves you on a stock odexed Rom with root. Note that unlocking your bootloader will wipe data..so backup anything important first

1) unlock bootloader
2) fastboot flash cwm (you can use the shiny new one i just posted in the orig dev section )
3) boot to recovery and make a backup
4) flash the pre-rooted stock rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242319

did the international stock recovery work for you ? i was able to flash it but when i try to go into recovery its just black screen no recovery. Your reply appreciated

If you flash stock recovery successfully and you try to boot to said recovery, you won't have any options to do anything. I never cared to look at it on this device but usually all you'll see is a triangle with an exclamation point. That's stock recovery. If you want to flash anything, you can't use stock

I don't think anyone's still following this thread, but did you relock the bootloader before returning it? i was thinking of just flashing recovery back. I don't think anyone at the store would bother to look at that anyway. Whenever I go there, the employees seem to know less than nothing about phones lol.

The T-mobile RUU isnt out yet. Try wiping data, if it still doesn't work you will have to install a custom rom since there is no T-Mo custom roms yet. This is until there is a T-Mo custom Rom or RUU.
I almost guarantee something was botched with cwm,try this .....
Over write and flash twrp over cwm use the adb fastboot folder method .
Watch qbking77 vid on YouTube very reputable.You still should be able to boot into hboot. Power down device until it goes dead ... then keep hold vol down while power up until hboot comes alive. Do the usual plug in phone select bootloader until u see fastboot usb.
Flash the latest twrp RECOVERY.You will have to dload the files on pc
This may clear things up if it's just a recovery loop issue.
Make a backup and reboot system.
It's an idea and may solve the issue .
If you get into hboot you are not totally screwed.
Word of advice alway make a backup first always .

Thank you for the help luckily they swapped it out for me today. It was a nightmare for some reason cwm and twrp got installed together and messed it all up. Hopefully this can help someone else though thanks again!
Yes man be safe it's a delicate process ... Follow the hasoon tool kit for unlocking bootloader only I nevr had luck flashing a recovery with his toolkit... and use the manual method to flash twrp with fastboot adb stay away from cwm.
Like mentioned the easiest way for someone that is unsure to do this is to follow the YouTube vids ,I reccomend qbking77 he's reputable and has covered a lot of devices .
Intact I just bought a second HTC one unlocked and rooted today
Remember to make sure you use the correct version of twrp for the tmo HTC one.
All the files are listed in video
Second video of his had the root and recovery flashing info as well

[Q] Bricked HTC One. Urgent, Help?

I believe I have soft bricked my device. Earlier this morning I installed ARHD, it went into the AROMA Installer and went through the process of picking the mods that I wanted, I hit install & as soon as it hit 99 Percent, I was brought back to TWRP as if I didn't flash anything. Feeling confused, I hit reboot system and after the HTC Screen boots up, it takes me directly back to TWRP. I've never experienced anything like this before, what in the world did I do incorrectly? Please help, feel free to chime in.

Well considering you're familiar with fastboot, what I did was relock my bootloader, unlocked it again and this time I installed CWM instead of TWRP, used adb sideload connected my device via usb cable, downloaded the stock ROM from @Mike1986 and pushed it to my device and profit. I learned my lesson not to use the touch screen and to use the power button to navigate through Aroma. I hope this helps..

Ironically I was gonna suggest not using touchscreen twrp, that it might be the problem. Only when using Aroma though (I believe). Touchscreen in Aroma using twrp is known to fubar phones at this point.

You have to have a pure stock rom. You may have to nandroid a stock or RUU but you have to decide that, but it have to be stock not root or any system file edits. Sorry, missed the bootloader need to be locked.

Not sure what you are referring to there. I didn't see anything overly large. Was that on the stock launcher? I'm using Apex.
When the OTA update fails and you get the red triangle, have you tried holding the vol up button then pushing the power button?
This should take you to stock recovery and you can see why the update failed...
Might give you a point to work from.

I haven't had a really good look at it but I don't like the fact that you have to tap a button before you choose video. On the old app both camera and video were one tap away. Now if you aren't in video already it's 2 taps.

When you save the three files that are missing with a root file manager, you have to save them to \data\preload NOT system\data\preload

I ended up getting this to work....
When you save the three files that are missing with a root file manager, you have to save them to \data\preload NOT system\data\preload
Worked a treat after I did this:good:

That's interesting what you say about the 3 files. Now I know why it wouldn't work for me. Regarding Firewater I just followed the instructions in the link I posted earlier.
I've actually reverted to a Nandroid of my stock Sense 5.5 rom. I like it better than Sense 6.
