Stuck at HTC logo entering recovery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I just rooted my HTC explorer for the first time. I was following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223
Everything was working fine until after installing the recovery.
After copying the superuser.zip to the SD and rebooting to bootloader menu, I click recovery and just get stuck on a HTC green logo.
If i take the battery out, I power back the phone and it works fine.
If i try to enter bootloader menu, and enter recovery, i get stuck again at that screen.
In the menu my phone appears as "unlock" so i supposes all steps before were fine..
If you guys could help it would be immensely appreciated!

apparently this is something that happened to many users but i couldn't find a straight answer on how to solve it!

I've tried to flash the recovery again, and i have the following error:
"sending 'recovery' (289 KB)... OKAY [ 0.059s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image error)
How can i install the recovery then?

try installing clockword mod recovery
make sure that USB debugging is selected on ur phone, after that
goto fastboot and connect ur phone to USB
and flash it using command
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname
or alternatively if ur phone is running fine:
then install ROM Manager and from there u can flash recovery to ur mobile

[Q] recovery flash failed.

Current state:
Hboot 1.50 Unlocked S-ON
Boots into stock ROM
I was stuck in a boot loop and couldn't get into recovery so I relocked my phone and ran RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.
Phone booted correctly after the RRU and was able to unlock the device. I went back and followed the instructions HERE to flash TWRP recovery. The exact same way that I had originally flashed.
When I was trying to Flash my recovery I received this:
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5068 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.011s
1. Am I screwed?
2. What can I do to prevent this in the future?
3. How do I fix it?

1. No.
2. Nothing, it happens sometimes.
3. Maybe a corrupt download? Try again with a new copy of recovery.
If that doesn't work, try a different recovery.
I receive that error no matter which recovery I try.
The first file I tried in the OP was the same file that I had used when I originally started flashing. I just tried with twrp 2.0 and the same thing happens.
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery twrp-shooter-2.0.0RC0.img

Maybe it is time to start looking at the downgrade process.

[Q] Tab Bricked...

Hi.
After I've tried to install a custom rom, I've done a very big mistake. Now I can't boot the tab, and if I try to go in recovery or wipe data through fastboot i get the fatally error "unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000". I haven't any nvflash backup and have the JB bootloader (10.6.1.8). The only thing that works are the APX mode and the fastboot. I'm feeling a very idiot because i bought it yesterday.
Now, what can I do? Dump it and f**k myself? :crying:
Sorry for my bad english, thank you for your help.
I realized I'm screwed. But I've tried something...
When I go run the fastboot mode and delete a partition, for example:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
works, and after I can run other command. But if I use:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
seems it works, in fact the output is
Code:
sending 'recovery' (5378 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.431s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.739s]
finished. total time: 4.170s
but it's stucked and I need to reboot manually.
Any idea?

[Q] LG P769 Restore Issue

Here is my issue, will try to explain as much as I can:
So I got the phone only booting to the LG logo and no further. So I read a couple threads which were mentioning about the LG Flash tool that I could try to use to restore the device, that did not work. So I tried to do Fastboot to see if that would help in any way. After trying, I was able to get Fastboot using @Lelus method ,now I cant get back the S/W upgrade mode, trying everything i could think of and still no progress. Would really love to fix this device and appreciate any help I can get.
days , I can help you. First download the drivers for your phone (if you have already remove them and re-load )
Next, download the LG Mobile Support Tool .
then go to your phone S / W upragade Mode (Press the volume up or down on the start)
then start the support tool as an administrator.
then press the Settings update recovery .
on the 90% of the phone restarts functional.
If you have any problem just say it to me!

Already tried all that. Phone does not boot or nothing. I can only access fastboot. I cant even flash the ICS u and x boot. When I try it says remote: partition doesn't exist.
Can you flash recovery through fastboot, and then acces it? I had similiar problem to yours, bricked my phone, barley made it to fastboot, i then flashed recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then booted to recovery and applied backup, or you might aswell flash a rom, if you don't have rom on your SD, use other phone to put ROM on sd, or card reader etc., the just install it. Just incase. i added recovery.img to my post.
Forgot to mention, after flashing recovery, try fastboot reboot recovery

Need help with softbrick (Xperia Z C6603)

Hello. Today i tried to flash the phone to the stock ROM twice but it didnt work probably cause unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP).
So i brick the phone and now i cant access the rom or the recovery. All i can do is access the fastboot mode. I tried to install the new recovery through fastboot but it doesnt work.
I tried the twrp 3.0.2.0 and 3.0.1.0 for yuga.
Code:
C:\Users\Kubo\Downloads\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (10704 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.347s
Tried various of commands that i found on google and this forum but nothing worked. I unlocked the bootloader before when i was installing various of custom roms. Could somehow stock rom affect the bootloader when i was flashing through flashtool ? I tried to only boot the recovery from the img, the command worked but the recovery did not boot.
Code:
C:\Users\Kubo\Downloads\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.341s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.033s]
finished. total time: 0.378s
Tried to check the status of bootloader but the command is just showing ... and nothing happend. Tried to get the IMEI through fastboot getvar command but no output is given. Im desperate. Sorry for english not my native language. I'll appreciate all the help.

When I open the ROM manager app it says my recovery system is TWRP.
My problem: I can't boot in TWRP!?! Intention is to flash system to Lineage OS 17.1.
Not with Volume down+power, not via adb command "reboot recovery" and not with some apps I tried with reboot options, nothing works.
Meanwhile I flashed 3 different TWP images, 3.0.2-0, 3.2.3-0 and 3.3.1, always with the same results like listed above. Booting in TWRP is not possible. Of course I would try it with an similiar image like clockworkmod, but couldn't find one for my device.
I've the same problem in the moment...
Do you've a solution for me?
