[GMS] Flashing recovery fails (CWM/4EXT) - HTC EVO 3D

hey,
i got an evo 3d gms 4.0/3.6 and want to root/s-off it. i unlocked it a htcdev and tried to flash a new recovery (4ext/cwm) but both fails. the flashing work fine but when i try 2 start the "recovery" the "htc logo" appears and the screen turns black for a sec and the next "htc logo" appears and the phone starts normaly.
what did i wrong? adb / fastboot shows no errors.
best regards
chris

Just to make sure there is an issue: power down and remove battery for half a minute. After putting it back in, hold volume down then press and hold power. After a few seconds, you should be in the bootloader. Use volume up and down to highlight recovery then press power to select it. Hopefully you'll be in recovery.

or maybe try the command from cmd
change directory to the adb/fastboot folder then type:
adb reboot recovery

hey thx,
i will try it now again.
the reboot recovery command don't work.
"adb reboot recovery" - If this last command does not work, on the phone use the Volume Up/Down Keys and choose "Recovery" manually, press the Power button to select it, I had to do this.
When recovery 4EXT recovery boots and loads

it says: "could not find device"
edit: the "take the battery out" didn't work. same problem.

You could relock the bootloader and run the ruu exe. This would reset everything so you can start over.

Fastboot Recovery Help

If I remove the battery and press volume up and power, I just get "Starting RSD Protocol Support" across the top of the Dual Core Screen. But it just sits there and I lets it go for 5+ minutes before removing the battery.
If I do this with the volume down button I get "Fastboot" across the same Duel Core Screen, but this just sits there also?
I want to go into recovery and clear app cache to see if it will stop freezing on me!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Press and hold power + Vol down until you see fastboot. then press Vol down cycling through the available options until you see android recovery. Then press Vol Up to select.

It never made it that far. The Duel Core screen comes up and stays there, 1 second later I see fast boot at the top of Duel Core Screen. I let it sit there for 10 minutes, nothing!
You probably did get that far. The top of the screen says fastboot above the dual core icon/text. Then you push the volume down key until you get to "Android Recovery". Or you can plug it into your computer and type in "adb reboot recovery" assuming you have adb set up on your computer. Or you can download an app like EZboot, and reboot to the recovery that way (assuming you have root).

[Q] Stuck at white HTC screen; help ASAP

Hey guys. So, I've had my DNA unlocked, rooted, and had a ROM on it for a while. The SuperHatka ROM I believe it was. I updated to the newest version to update the entire phone with the new OTA update the other day. Tonight I had the bright idea to wipe my phone completely since it didn't do it the first time. Well, I erased literally everything. Now the phone is stuck on the white "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I can't get it to power off, reboot, etc. It won't be recognized in ADB like it was previously. Can anyone give me step by step instructions on what to do? Please.

Press and hold the power button for approx 15 seconds. Your capacitive buttons should blink and eventually your screen will go black as its powered down. Continue to hold the power button and the vol down key and it should boot into bootloader, from there scroll to recovery via vol keys, press power and it'll boot into recovery. If its a newer recovery it should support adb sideload in which you can adb push a Rom to /sdcard. If not then while in fastboot usb mode you can fastboot flash recovery a newer version of twrp or cwm then adb push in recovery.

Like he said. Press buttons, boot into boot loader, recovery, then you do not need to side load. just do the adb push to your sdcard and flash. sideload is a different command.

I've been in that black hole several times, frozen for various reasons-usually of my own making. I would only add that the time it takes holding in the power button once the icons start flashing at the bottom of the phone varies GREATLY...from a few seconds to several episodes of trying it-bottom line is it will eventually do it. If you have backups you can wipe everything and restore one of them and you will be back up running.
Reviving a dead thread. I have the same issue but when I flash a recovery in fastboot and try to boot to the recovery is shows the recovery splash screen then restarts.

Boot into the bootloader put it in fastboot plug it into your pc. Open a command window where your fastboot and ADB files are and then type
fastboot erase cache
Hit enter
And then flash the recovery and you should be able to boot into it.

[Q]Newly unlocked bootloader, won't boot to recovery?

I just unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWMT recovery but whenever I try to boot into recovery the phone simply boots back into the factory Rom. I've tried turning off fastboot in the Rom settings but that didn't seem to help... Any ideas?
Edit: alright I can boot into recovery but it's under factory reset for some reason.adb Reboot recovery doesn't work.
Turn off fastboot. In settings.

Did you try to manually go into recovery?
- turn off phone
-press and hold volume down then press power button until the phone boots into bootloader
- use volume buttons to scroll down to recovery,
- tap power button to select recovery
and it should boot into your custom recovery

That's when it happens. I'll try manually booting into recovery, but it just ends up booting normally.

I've tried both restarting in bootloader and powering down and turning the phone back on in bootloader. Both times, from the bootloader menu, when I select recovery it goes the the 'htc' screen with 'entering recovery' at the top for about 7 seconds then goes black and boots normally.

when you select recovery and it goes to the white htc screen, at the very top does it say.. "entering recovery" ?
If not, you might try using fastboot to push a custom recovery to your phone again...
If it kicks you out of recovery as it boots into it, go into the bootloader, fastboot, and run 'fastboot erase cache' on the computer. Of course, ADB has to be setup first before running that command. I've had this happen to me a few times already, and 'fastboot erase cache' always made it work again.

Stuck in "Entering Recovery..."

I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0

how to fix bootloop?

hey, i've got a problem.
i'm running on Oreo 20r and installed Magisk using TWRP.
after rebooting, my device stucks in a bootloop.
is there any solution for my problem?
flashed magisk 17?
yes...
okay, actually I am currently stucked with the same issue too.
But I just got back my TWRP by doing following :
1) Boot into download mode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mycJDiFUPk)
2) Still in download mode, press and hold "vol down + power" (this time USB cable is still connected to PC and phone), it will reboot the phone, hold both button till you get in fastboot mode
3) once in fastboot mode, flash back TWRP as per unlocking guide
Now I am still in TWRP, hesitating what to do next. lol
Hope it helps a bit
it's not possible for me.
my device reacts to nothing... no keys, no recovery, no download mode
bootlooping like no tomorrow
maybe you can install KDZ-file using LGUP
or try to flash ZIP-file

I just clean flashed back Boombox 1.3 with magisk 16.0, so far booting up good.
I think you need to try again.
The download mode is a bit tricky, need to very fast hold long power button till off, once off, hold the vol up and connect the USB cable to PC. it should trigger the download mode
The bootloop that you have now, is just "LG V30 ThinQ" and the "unlocked bootloader" msg right? same as me I think

okay, let me try describe my steps in details :
1) Phone is bootlooping, USB cable is connected to Phone, NOT to PC
2) Hold down power button only till the screen becomes "black"
3) Once "black", quickly hold the "vol UP" and connect the USB cable to the PC
4) Now it should show the "download mode"
5) Without removing the USB cable, hold "power + vol DOWN"
6) Once screen becomes "black", release the "power" button, hold the "vol DOWN"
7) Until you see the "fastboot mode"
8) Now you can flash TWRP back using fastboot command from the PC
9) Boot back to TWRP
p/s : yes, the phone cannot be turned off, for long time, but it can be for a very short time. Need to use that short time to trigger all the keys
I have the same problem after flashing Magisk 17. I am in a bootloop between LG black start and root/unlocked bootloader warning screen.
I followed your steps 1-7 in a command line screen (as administrator) and it works but it seems that recovery flash is not working because the command line screen show me a very short time in the recovery flashing work (see attached image).
"fastboot reboot" returns me to the bootloop.
"Power Off" and "Restart" options in the phone returns to me to the bootloop again.
If I unplug the USB cable in the fastboot screen, the phone goes to the splash black screen and does nothing.
WTF!!! it's working.
i tried it one more time like you described it.
think i did it too slow before. booted into TWRP and the rest will be no problem (i hope so).
thank you sooo much!

how did you reflash Magisk 16 after?
@ChazzMatt HAve you looked at this? Some of are having issues after Magisk updated the Magisk app and then lost root...I guess we shouldnt have flashed 17, but when I try and reflash 16 I get the "updater process error" does that mean my only option is to format SD again, or do I have to start from scratch?

I am stuck with the same kinda issue. By mistake restarted the Phone after wiping the phone for a fresh rom install. now i can see only the LG boot logo. There is no way to power off the phone. Pressed the power button alone for couple of minute but no use. Tried pressing the Vol Down and power to restart. I get a 1 sec window when the phone is off between the restarts but your method does not work in that short time. Is there a way to power off the phone ?
basically there is no Rom on it and does not detect on the PC when plugged in
Please help if you know anything

Try going to TWRP
1. hold vol down + power till it off
2. Once it shows the first on screen, release the power button and press back the power button (vol down hold)
3. A menu for factory reset will be shown, agree to it 2 times
4. Then it will boot to TWRP ( no data will be deleted )
