i searched, and couldn't find anything. so sorry ahead of time if this has been answered. I flashed Paranoid Android on my HTC E4GLTE and can't get it to boot past the "Paranoid Android" screen. it's been stuck there for about 10 minutes. I've already wiped and tried reflashing. No luck.
Try wiping boot partition
fastboot erase boot
Then extract the boot image and put it in adb folder
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm not a complete NOOB when it comes to rootingn but I'm kinda stuck here. Sooooo... I wipe the boot partition through TWRP? Or through command prompt? How do I extract the image and where is the ADB folder? Sorry for asking so many questions but thanks ahead of time!

http://db.tt/zyPbGmtO use this, to extract the kernel open the zip and drag it anywhere, it will extract the file and you place it in the adb folder

you open it on your pc, boot phone to bootloader and start up fastboot
extract adb folder any where on pc
extract boot image and place it in adb folder
connect phone to pc
type fastboot devices to make sure phone is connected
type fastboot erase boot to wipe the boot partition, this helps

well thats odd lol I'm probably confusing the commands again, you dont need to wipe boot anyways, its just a way to make sure you start clean. open the paranoid rom and pull the boot.img file and put that in the adb folder
Did you make sure to type fastboot devices to make sure PC is connected to device via fastboot?

I can't go into the recovery mode.
I can only go into the fastboot mode.
Try this,... Go into fastboot.
Hit BACK to enter the fastboot bit.
I should now say FASTBOOT USB or something similar.
Then you need to cd into the right directory using CMD.
example,... I have to type...
cd c:\sdk\tools ................But it might be different on yours.
then type
fastboot devices
It should bring up your device serial number.
Then type
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
Then reboot.

sorry its droid explorer and here is link to info about program and its pritty easy to use

try the HEROIMG.zip method
Hello,
just another idea:
- download an original RUU.exe (preferably of an older version, rootable) and extract rom.zip (a lot of guides in the forums)
- rename to HEROIMG.ZIP and put in sdcard root
- restart hero with volume down pressed
- normally it should find the heroimg.zip and flash it and you are back to normal
None of the existing tutorials or threads have accurate information on how to push the twrp recovery.
Following the very VAGUE instructions results in the fastboot cmd just listing the instructions instead of doing it's job.
Anyone have the correct commands to flash any working recovery or is there one?
Sure would like to flash a recovery of some sort. Anyone know how? Posting the existing methods is fail since they fail.
completely incorrect, followed instrucions precisely, albeit sounds like he skipped a hundred steps, so it's no wonder this method fails
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192245
anyone else actually flash a recovery?
This is what I did:
First I renamed the recovery to avoid typos to TWRP.img
Second I made sure Fastboot.exe and the twrp.img file were in the same directory as the adb files.
Third, I booted my phone to the hboot and selected fastboot.
Fourth, I opened a command prompt in that directory and typed: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Then hit enter and bam!!! You have a custom recovery. Make sure you do a nand backup before you play with your phone.

The link you posted is step by step. Is there any particular question you have that wasn't covered in the post? Not trying to be a ****, I just need to know exactly where you need help. And yes, I have s-off, recovery, and root access.
I figured it out - it's not clear that you have to acutally TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND RESTART IN FASTBOOT MODE.
I found another thread that was clear. Now...
How do I boot into TWRP? lol jesus.
Make sure fastboot is off in settings>>>power, then turn phone off and power back on holding power and volume down.

What directory do I put fastboot.exe and recovery.img in?
Any. But in order for the commands from this thread to work it should be in the same as your fastboot command. Usually /androidsdk/tools or possibly /platform-tools. Which ever has the fastboot, put it there.
Otherwise make sure you declare the path in the fastboot execution command.
Thanks got it. SO how do you boot into twrp, without booting to bootloader first?

Phone rebooted then then continues to be stuck in boot loop.
What I have tried:
Factory reset in bootloader
clear storage in bootloader
reinstall TWRP to get in recovery as if I choose recover in bootloader it just boot loops.
Tried to install the RUU but it can not connect during boot loops and errors out.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Try fastboot wipe recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, if recovery loops back to bootloader then it's corrupt. Make sure you flash the latest twrp

Those are fastboot commands, you use the terminal
fastboot wipe recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should be able to boot into recovery afterwards
What terminal? I'm a bit lost here
Do you have adb tools or Android SDK?
C:\android-sdk-windows
Open cmd prompt by opening SDK folder and then hold shift and right click, it will say open cmd prompt or something similar I don't recall if adb is in separate folder but I don't think so. From there you can plug in the phone in fastboot and type fastboot devices, it will tell you if you are connected or not. Download twrp and place it in the same folder. Then you can use the commands I listed earlier

Now that I am in fasboot usb on the bootloader the RUU can connect to phone via USB.
If I just flashed that and started all over would that work and do I need to unroot and relock before doing the RUU?
Still not having any luck on terminal so far.
Sorry I was busy arguing with gf, it seems you aren't where you need to be if fastboot isn't recognized, I haven't had access to my own pc in quite a while so I'm having trouble remembering if there is another directory

got fastboot working but get this with your first command
That's because I haven't used wipe in fastboot in quite a while, I'm sure I'm just confused on wipe and erase but you shouldn't need it, the first command should be fastboot erase recovery but like I said you shouldn't really have to, it's just like formatting before flashing the recovery, just fastboot flash recovery openrecovery.img or what ever the name is for the twrp file
Ran
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks recovery just loops, could never get in.
Ok this is where I am at (see OP)
We tried flashing TWRP and original recovery via ADB
We tried running RUU
I'm still stuck in a boot loop....
I am having a similar problem stuck in bootloader. I relocked to go to the new firmware and now am stuck in the bootloader. I can access adb but can't access recovery. I am now relocked. Can I unlock again with a fastboot command?
If you unlocked manually, HTC sends the unlock code code just use fastboot to flash, if you used regawmod, just run it again. I don't know if regawmod will recognize the phone in boot loader though
Hi guys please help.
Dont know if I posted it in the right placed.
I cant post it in the relevant thread since it is a dev thread and i'm a noob
So this is my first android so i'm basically super noob (my technical record was to Jailbreak an iPhone)
My error seem pretty simple but I could not figure it out.
I'm trying to flash the CM10 ROM according to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027304
What i have managed to do:
Unlock bootloader.
root with RootBoot V5.
install SU and flashed TWRP recovery for Intl version with the amazing Hasson2000 all-in-one tool.
Where I got stuck:
now i downloaded the CM rom zip file and the its specific kernel.
changed the kernel name to: boot.img
placed the file in the kernel folder (of the tool).
hit the flash kernerl (marked the 'with this command').
the CMD window opened, and showed this error:
error: cannot load 'Kernels/boot.img'
picture - http://sdrv.ms/YtPHoU
triple checked the file name and the right directory
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks

I think your making things too complicated using this kernel flasher software.
Just download and install the Android SDK. Once installed find the platform-tools folder, copy your kernel .img to that folder, connect your phone in fastboot mode. Then hold shift and right click, choose open command window from the contex menu. Then just type into the prompt "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (or the name of the .img).
Done

Thank you guys for helping me.
I tried both methods and recieved the same error in both of them in CMD:
error: cannot load boot.img
Lloyr method:
4 files in fastboot folder:
adb
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot
boot.img
entered fastboot from device ----> plug in to pc (debugging is on by default) ----> run CMD from this folder----> writing command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" -----> error message
AndroHero method:
download the Android SDK (zip file named adt-bundle-windows-x86) and exract it to desktop.
in the folder adt-bundle-windows-x86, i went to "sdk" and then "platform tools".
copied the boot.img file to "platform tool" folder and ran the CMD from this folder.
typed the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and boom ----> error: cannot load boot.img
thanks again
>.< you NEED to be in bootloader
type in adb reboot bootloader and make sure you are in fastboot usb (select it if it's not already done for you)

Sorry if I didn't mention that.
i was on fastboot USB.
showed fastboot USB on a red backround.
I tried once again with both methods and i recieved another error message in the SDK methos:
error: cannot load 'boot.img': Unknown error
I attached file with step by step screen shot for the whole process (both methods).
Just thought...did you rename it boot.img? If so and file extensions are hidden then it will be boot.IMG.IMG so remove .IMG and it should work fine
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Make sure you installed HTC Sync (htc site) and the drivers will come with it. (you can later remove sync, drivers will stay)
Then enter fastboot trough vol down + power > choose fastboot ... plug your phone to PC and wait sec for driver install.
Make sure u see Fastboot USB in fastboot
Go prompt admin mode and go to your c:/fastboot map (put boot.img in there)
And type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that install recovery and rom and boot.

Hello, I have a H-901 v-10 That I've successfully unlocked the bootloader and am ready to flash TWRP recovery but every time I try to open the file my computer wants to burn it to a cd/disc.

Stop trying to OPEN the image file. You should be on a command line using the fastboot flash command to flash the .img file directly to the recovery partition. You need to do some more reading because it sounds to me like you haven't yet installed the android developers kit which contains the adb and fastboot commands you will need to communicate with your phone.
Start by doing what you should have tried first...a google search for "How do I install TWRP on my phone?"...the first result is https://www.howtogeek.com/240047/how-to-flash-twrp-recovery-on-your-android-phone/
I've setup adb and fastboot, opened the twrp folder and have opened a command prompt window by typing shift + right click and entered fastboot flashing recovery recovery image then it showed some code on the command prompt but it didn't flash the twrp what do I do
