the file i flashed was supposed to be safe. seemed like a normal wipe script. but now i lost my recovery. phone just reboots into boot loader. i have the cdma hboot 1.3 s-off (still says that) and my computer dislikes adb for some reason.
Flash a recovery
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
trying to find one.. been a while since ive done this. adb does not want to work on my computer
Exact same thing happened to me. What fixed it for me: Download twrp 2.2.0 from their website. Since adb is acting up, use the pg..zip one that flashes from fastboot. Copy to root of sd card and boot phone into fastboot. The directions are on their website in more detail.

Ok I cannot find what I'm looking for so I"ll ask. Also though I have been rooted since it first became available and have flashed a billion ROMS and tweaks forgive me that my knowledge is still not the greatest.
I just noticed that when I hold down the power+vol button to boot into recovery mode (hboot?) that it now gives me an error, it reads like this
parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] RECOVERY
Do you want to update?
yes
No
I used the Revolutionary method to root and have HBOOT 1.40.1000
I can start my phone normally and even use clockworkmod to boot into it recovery to flash,make backups,ect... but what worries me is if I experience a bootloop or something I won't have CWMR to save me. I tried to download TWRP 2 and reflash the PG86IMG.zip but nothing works. what am I doing wrong?
any suggestions?
Thanks
You probably have a zip that the fastboot is trying to parse and extract to update your phone. Check your files in your SD card.

^ This is the correct answer. Specifically, check for and remove any PG86IMG.zip that might be laying around on your sd card. You should then be able to boot to boot loader and then to recovery normally.
You can keep the recovery.img. (PG86IMG) on your sdcard just not on the root of your sdcard. Move it to another file, delete it, or keep it on the root and rename it so hboot doesn't see it.

Ok I have a problem I flashed bulletless Rom 2.5 like I always flash roms I rebooted my phone into recovery (CWM touch) did a factory reset/wipe then I flashed the rom and everything went great I rebooted my phone and the rom booted and I went through the set up. I didnt really like the rom so I rebooted the phone with the advanced power menu into recovery but when I rebooted the phone it just hung at the white HTC screen so I thought no big deal I'll reboot the phone into bootloader then Recovery and try flashing it again but when my phone boots into bootloader and I select recovery I can see a quick glimpse of the recovery screen then the phone reboots and just hangs on the white HTC screen again??????
I tried reflashing the CWM touch from fastboot but that didnt fix it
So I tried flashing the regulat CWM recover from fastboot but still no go
Then I tried to flash TWRP recover and when I boot into that I can see the splash screen for it but then the phone reboots and hangs on the white HTC screen
Does anyone know why this happened and how I can fix it please dont tell me that my phone is bricked

Your phone isn't bricked.... Just soft bricked.
Just restore a previous backup from hboot>recovery.... Make sure u restore using the same recovery you used to backup with... Just to be safe. That may mean flashing a new recovery through fastboot.

Thats what X had as a prerequisite to flash the RUU
i know there are many tpics similar but i cant find a straight answer or working link..
basically i flashed a rom and this rom ws working fine until it started to reboot everytime i chargd the phone then it would boot loop for like 30min and finaly go in to the rom.. ive tried to access the recovery to switch roms but it just bootloops.. onlything i can go is to bootloader.. i was looking for a stock rooted
P0g5?? file to flash in bootloader but all i can find is mr2 and its in multiupload which is not working for me.. can anyone please give me a working link or answer... and the last option i would hate to do is completely restore to stock and root allover again.. i want to restore to stock rooted/s-off.. not stock rooted/s-on.. please help anyone....
Can u download a new recovery, rename, then flash in hboot possibly?

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

I just picked up this phone today, since my GS3 got smashed and coming from samsung, this is all greek to me.
For long winded reasons, I do not have a ROM installed and whenever I try to install one I keep getting boot loops. At this point I'm trying to go back to stock, but that isn't even working. I have tried flashing ROMS, firmwares, but everything keeps getting me bootloops.
I think this all started beacuse when i was going to flash a new ROM, i hit "wipe internal storage" which wiped everything, including my Nandroid :crying:
I am on bootloader 2.09 and obviously have no ROM so there is nothing I can do past the recovery... Is there anything i can do, or did i just brick a phone in 2 hours?
Easy fix. Download MeanBean ROM (ROM can be found in the Development thread) to your computer. Boot into recovery and mount your internal storage to your computer and transfer the ROM to your phone. Flash the ROM zip once and reboot to system. The phone should boot to the HTC splash screen and then reboot to recovery on it's on. Flash the ROM zip again, and reboot once more. Give it a few minutes and it should boot into the ROM. Make sure you make a backup at some point. I also recommend keeping a backup on your PC.

I was trying to install Beanstalk 4.4.2, and it kept boot looping into recovery(twrp) so I ended up trying to revert back to stock "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525" and I install the hboot first then the radio then the recovery, and after the recovery it just bootloops to a triangle with a red exclamation point in it.
Now it sounds like you are bootlooping into stock recovery. What have you tried to run the RUU?
