Lost recovery after nandroid backup? - HTC Rezound

hello guys. I had done a nandroid of my previous rom, flashed a new one and didn't like it. So now I recovered to my old rom with recovery. Everything seemed fine but one thing.
Every time I try to get back in recovery the phone just reboots. Maybe recovery didn't flash back? Should I just flash a recovery via the bootloader?
Thank you guys in advance.

A restore shouldn't have touched your recovery partition, regardless just try flashing it back.

Check to make sure you don't have a ph98.img on your sd card

Flash it again long time ago that happened to me after a nandroid I couldn't boot to recovery so I just went to hboot and flash it with adb.

I just reflashed via the bootloader. Everything seems to be running alright now. Thank you.

Lock screen

Could a flashed modem be responsible for why my phone dies when its been on a lock screen for a while or will it be the rom.?

Most probably it's the ROM.
I think that something in the ROM it's the guilty, maybe if you try fix permissions
Why not back up with Titanium, do a CWM backup and try flashing a new ROM? You would be able to go straight back if you wanted by restoring the CWM backup.
Thanks guys in the end I went with a restore from an earlier backup works OK probably the from.

[Q] How do I install recovery?

My ex-wife's Thunderbolt has been having problems for awhile, and recently it stopped connecting to the internet. I re-flashed the radio, changed radios, re-flashed the ROM (running SOAB 1.04), and finally decided to return to stock for replacement. So I downloaded and flashed PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310014 and decided to see if it was still malfunctioning, and it worked fine. Now I need to root/flash SOAB again, but when I enter recovery mode it acts like it's not there. It was rooted with Revoloutionary previously. What do I need to do?
The ruu you flashed wasnt rooted so you'll have to flash the recovery in h boot again.

To be clear, download recovery, then change the filename to PG05IMG.zip? What about SU?
After you flash recovery you go into the recovery and flash superuser for the thunderbolt.

Thanks, I thought so but wanted to make sure. I almost tried to flash SU first LOL! Glad I came here first!
Yea I don't think that would work lol.

[Q] TWRP Nandroid restore problems

I have several backups made, all of which are full backups. But now when I try and Nandroid restore, it just wipes everything and says it's complete. it takes > 0 seconds to finish "restoring". I have tried re-flashing twrp and even different versions of TWRP. anyone know what's wrong?
I also don't want to switch my recovery to 4ext because i'd loose all my backups.
Are your backups of the proper size? It almost sounds like they are corrupted.
Save the Drama for your Mama with Tapatalk 2
No they are the same size as usual. I did turn off md5 sum generator because I also turned off md5 sum check. It took like an extra minute to backup. But I did that a long time ago and I haven't had problems until now.

Try reflashing the recovery. I had the same problem a few months ago, was never able to figure it out. I just had to start from scratch. But I never tried reflashing the recovery.

I have tried that. I have even tried flashing multiple versions of twrp.
It must be the MDF sum check problem. I just switched to 4ext. I'm kind of disappointed I lost all my backups though :/

You can't use twrp backups with 4ext recovery...

Rebooting none stop

After flashing codis rom from mikrom after aroma installer was done, it jumped to recovery and asked me to fix su after i press yes it just started rebooting on and off trying to reboot back to recovery but it wont stay in recover, it goes back off and on and it keeps doing the same thing and i cant get it to stop. I can manually go into bootloader then fastboot and power down from there but when i try to go back to recovery through bootloader so i can try fixing it just doesnt want to stay in cwm recovery. Hoping anybody can help or guide me in the right direction to fix it, maybe using adb or something, thanx

Before flashing ROM did, did you flash boot.IMG in fast boot?

[Q] TWRP Restoring problems

the other day i tried restoring a back up via TWRP but it didnt work until i fastboot flashed boot.img...Alright so i updated my TWRP via goomanager app to the latest version (whatever is on there via goomanager) as in the TWRP forum discussions it was stated that previous versions were not working properly wihen restoring. So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies

What did you have checked while making the backup? data? recovery? cache? system? and did you rename the back up?
System, data and boot are checked...I didn't mess with the options just hit restore and let it do it's thing...should I change something or check the other 2 boxes (one of them being "recovery" forgot what the other option was)?

also some roms are picky about which recovery is used to install/backup. I can say I have had no issues backing up stock or custom roms with twrp on my DNA
Alright sounds good maybe later on tonight when I'm at my computer just in case thank you for the tips I as well haven't had much trouble flashing ROMS with TWRP, albeit I've only tried flashing 2 or 3 been very happy with ViperDNA just wanted to check out different ones and easily restore back to viper

That's exactly what I was trying when all this happened...I flashed it via flash gui app like I've been doing but for some reason it didn't work...when I went to unlock screen it would pull up HTC splash screen and just stay stuck there... I'm not S-off yet so would that have something to do with NOS ROM not functioning?

no thats how that rom boots....leave it alone for about 5-10 minutes youlll see the notificatiion light come on and your =e good to go
Let me rephrase that...it boots up, screen comes on silver background from butterfly then I go pull ring to unlock and it pulls up the HTC splash screen once I unlock and will not move from there...so that's when I reset and went back to viper...???

Flash the new Nos build, and flash cpalmers kernel after the Rom install and then reboot.

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I get that. I'm purely talking about after a full while that I'm not sure if twrp will restore the boot.img from a nandroid. S-On of course.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

Hmmm well I did everything via my cell (been the way I've been flashing ROMS unless something goes wrong then I use ADB on computer) and everything when properly done works fine using Flash GUI APP love that app! I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)
Oh and I'm still S-on
