recovery skips straight to boot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have an htc one x
i recently flashed the cm9 rom and im not to keen on it so i know want to return to my old standard one.
when i go into recovery to try and restore my old rom it doesnt let me the phone just restarts and boots into the cm9 rom and not clockwork recovery. any answers would be great
i think it would be a good idea to wipe the rom and clear my cache but i cant as i cant go onto cwm

Just reinstall the recovery

Every ROM gets a boot loop!

Hey guys.
I'm on LA4 and i want to flash a custom ROM onto my SGS2.
I treid CM7 (flashed is twice) and som other ROMS but everytime i flash it, i get in a boot loop.
I hope i'm doing it the right way?
I copy the .zip file to my sdcard and press "install zip" in the recovery mode.
Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing the rom? It's pretty much important, especially if you're going from LA4 to CM7
yea,sure!
before and after the flashing i wiped all
Edit: Also try format /system after you wipe the 3 said above.
Try going back to your stock image and flash a stock KERNEL afterwards, boot CWM, flash a stock image, when done, flash a stock kernel and newest radio.
I'd say it might be a kernel issue. I had it when I flashed MIUI, and in reverse when I flashed back to others..

Try avoiding wiping it afterwards. Just wipe everything out, flash it and immediately reboot.
I also hope you did a nandroid backup as well. If you did that and it still boot loops, try restoring it and going back to it and having another go.
oh my gosh i figured it out!
CuraeL, you're right.. its a kernel problem
i have to flash the kernel again after the rom update.. weird but only that way it's working!
thanks
No worries. I have had to do it on a lot of the roms I installed myself, on my SGS II, back in the days. Wonderful phone, a bit weird the way the whole kernel thing is made. But I suppose that's cause the kernels are written for 2 different "builts" of the system.
Keep it in mind, as you might need to do it again some day, lol.
Have fun. ^^

[Q] Help putting on different ROMs

So i am running the viper rom and it runs awesome. But i really want to install different ROMs when when i use the recovery and back up everything and then reset everything and install the ROMs zip file, it says installed complete and then i reboot from the recovery. When it is booting, it goes to the white screen when HTC in green and then reboots? So it is in boot loop. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? if so that would be great thanks
If you are in a boot loop try checking the integrity of the ROM by running md5 checksum. Re download the rom then clear davlik cache and do a factory reset in Clockwork mod an then re install zip. Remember to get back into clock work mod you hold volume down as you boot the phone.

Sounds like a bad flash. If you are s-on, I recommend you use 4ext as your recovery since this takes care of improper kernel flashes which can cause boot loops. Actually, use it if you are s-off too .
Did you do a super wipe before flashing the new Rom? If not, flash a copy of Chad's super wipe before flashing the Rom.

I am using TWRP recovery right now. I had clockworkmod but it seemed to not work as well. Is there a link to 4ext recovery where i can download and flash it please? Hopefully that will work
Thanks to coal686 for the recovery link in his signature.
I am still stuck with putting a new Rom on my 3d, could anyone help? It still goes in bootloop and I have tried twrp, clockwork, and now 4ext. I factory reset and do what all the threads say but it won't get past the white screen with HTC on it. Then it reboots and does it over and over. Anyone help

[Q] Trying to restore to ATT stock, locks at ATT "rethink..." screen

Hello all, could use some help here.
I'm trying to restore my Note to the factory ROM and I'm running into an issue.
Fyi, I had the latest Paranoid JB Rom from Oct 13.
I followed the proceedures outlined in the forums (used ODIN to restore the default "attstockrom") and after that restore the phone would loop rebooting into ATT rethink possible animation screen.
I found and downloaded the latest 4.04 rom for the phone (I717UCLF6) and rebooted. Now it just hangs at the "ATT Rethink possible" graphic (no animation, no loop).
Odin does see the device fine so I can reflash again with no problems if I need to. I'm thinking of trying the I717UCLA1 version from Jan to see if that works but I'm hoping I can get some better advice before I do something that might cause more permanent problems.
Any advice on how to get back to stock ICS (or even JB) and get the phone working again?
Thanks!
Try doing a factory data/cache wipe from Recovery.
I flashed the stock rom via ODIN. There is no factory data/cache wipe since there's no custom recovery.
Are you suggesting flashing CWM/TWRP on the phone now then doing that?
Houston we have liftoff. Thanks for the tip Fappa, that got me into the phone (reinstalled cwm, factory reset). However I'd still like to remove CWM and go back to completely stock....
I'm not overly worried about it as I'm selling the phone but I'd like the new owner to have a completely clean phone in case they need to send it in at some point for repair. But in any case it's up and running with CWM and factory ICS rom.

I'm sure fappa meant to use the stock android recovery and wipe. when I go back to stock it always hangs at AT&T boot logo and have to wipe/reset from stock recovery to get it to boot.

Yes do what they say or you will continue to boot loop.

Are you SOFF? I would guess no. Of you don't have SOFF then flash 4ext recovery. And have smart flash enabled

I guess im not soff. i dont know to be honest.
So now i will have to flash 4ext recovery , in fastboot?
If so will it replace cwm recovery?
Now i flashed 4ext recovery via fastboot and now i cant pass the htc logo boot, and cant get in recovery neither i can access my phone
You have tried going in through the bootloader mode. Pull batt vol down and pwr at the same time

Guys i tried about everything that i could think of, i flashed 4ext recovery, after that it was getting stuck on the htc logo, so i reflashed cwm recovery and still i cant pass the cm10 boot animation,,i tried to factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik cache.
I think im stuck with a bricked phone and im on a contract , 2 years left,,it sucks a lot.
All i can do now is boot the phone in bootloader and recovery.
If you kept getting stuck at the HTC logo it meant that it was a bad recovery flash. Make sure you have a good version of the 4ext recovery.
CWM won't flash roms without S-OFF because it can't flash the boot.img (or was it the /boot partition can't remember) so flash a good 4ext

To go back to stock, you have to restore a stock backup you made or flash a stock ruu via bootloader, wipe and reflash cm, it's gonna reboot once if you're not s-off in order to flash the kernel via smartflash.

[Q] Phone bricked ! Can't boot into bootloader ! just recovery

Hello,
My name is Aymeric & my phone is bricked :/
Yesterday i installed viperDNA ROM but i do a backup before that , i don't like the rom.
so i restore my backup but the backup don't work & they are a bootloop in recovery mode ! I can't go into bootloader/hboot -.-

Also when i link my phone to the computer for charging not turn ON the phone boot in recovery & swith off 30 second after the boot
Please help me i have the phone since 3 days
Aymeric sad men
Which recovery are you running? TWRP or CWM? Sounds like a very corrupt backup or a botched restore. Can you enable mass storage in recovery for PC to move files to phone SD? If so, try flashing a stock Rom from development section.

Flash TWRP in fastboot, then sideload a stock sense Rom.
