I have a slight problem with my phone right now. I got the great idea to try and build a rom just for myself in kitchen based off the Telus 1.15.661.11 base. Everything appeared to work correctly, I got my rom flashed and working fine, haven't had any problems with it besides a FC issue with the HTC Sense input but i just uninstalled it as i use swiftkey anyways.
The problem is I can no longer access TWRP, I can get into the bootloader fine just when i select recovery it shows the TWRP logo then goes to a black screen and then proceeds to boot into the system. I have no idea how to fix it and but here's what I've tried so fair:
-Reflashing the recovery via fastboot
-Flashing a rom via fastboot (Can't be done gives me some remote denied error, i assumed because its still s-on?)
-Reflashing boot.img via fastboot (Figured it was worth a attempt?)
-Trying to reboot into recovery (Same thing happened, went from black screen to boot. Also i should note I could not get the phone to reboot via adb but could via the cwm rom manager (I just used it to reboot nothing else))
-Factory Reset from bootloader (didn't appear to do anything)
The one thing I have not tried is an RUU, however this was because first off i had difficultly locating one (I had the link somewhere but lost it) and second I don't think there is one for Telus (Although i would assume an ATT one would work?). Also ill try to locate the rom that i flashed, and maybe someone would be able to look at it and see what went wrong. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated to try and help restore my recovery.
EDIT: So i ran the ATT RUU and it failed towards the end of the process and I went through the recovery process. Then i re locked and unlocked my bootloader and after that i went to reboot into recovery and it works again. So im not sure what happened but if anyone has some insight it would be nice to know for the future.

I flashed CM7 last night, loaded GAPPS, and the market was updating my apps, when I noticed none of the apps were updating. updates were all failing. I went into recovery and restored BAMF 1.5 remix. Now I have a problem. I can not download or update anything from the Market, all attempts fail. I cannot access CW recovery, the HTC white screen is as far as I get. I deleted rom manager, and tried to access CW recovery and still failed. I tried to do a factory reset, and still only get white HTC screen. Tbolt is functioning, I just can't fix my issue. Please help. Thanks.
You can't get in CW recovery or stock recovery?

Did you try reflashing CW through ROM Manager?
Yep. very strange. I even tried to wipe the phone with factory reset, and just get stuck on white HTC screen. I had deleted rom manager because of something else I read, and can't get it back, But I can't even get to recovery from bootloader.
You can get to recovery through the bootloader by shutting off the phone and turning it back on holding down the volume button and pressing power toggle down to the recovery option and press the power button

Actually I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a quite a few things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used;
adb reboot recovery failed
Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM
flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)
(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)
**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**
"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase
return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again
try to boot into recovery via hboot
manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix
tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't
All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Never once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...
Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.
SUCCESS !!!
I fixed it !
Apparently, when I loaded up cm7, files showed up about the same time on my sdcard in clockworkmod download file. I deleted those files, and reflashed clockworkmod in rom manager, (which this time took like 3 - 4 minutes), and rebooted into recovery and it worked...did it again, just in case it was a fluke and it worked.
All is well now...the planets are realigned !!!
Thanks everyone for your ideas and especially thanks to mattgyver83 who helped me for something like 4 hours yesterday. Exceptional kindness !!
mods...you can close this thread.
I have the Evo LTE S-on (HTC bootloader unlocked) and TWRP installed. The only problem I'm having is that I cannot seem to get .zip files to open from the install menu in TWRP (recovery). I factory reset and try to open the zip from the install menu but it just says "Failed". Specifically I am trying Kushdeck's new CM10 ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
PS. Not sure if this will help but on the install menu my files show up twice, the first time with the normal naming and the second with "/." in front of them.
Did u try and re download it again? Sounds like a bad DL if it keeps failing after a couple of attempts

Ok I'm trying that now. I'm also wondering if there's a problems with my /ext-sd because everytime I factory reset it says it couldn't access that. Do you think that has anything to do with it? Is reinstalling TWRP an option?
Ok thanks so much the re-download did it. But now I'm at a black/blank screen after start up. I factory reset, installed the CM10 ROM then Gapps and wiped the dalvik/cache. Then when I reboot it just goes to the HTC screen and after that nothing. Ideas?
This is going to sound strange but try factory restet, wipe cache/dalvik and then just reboot without trying to flash anything.. I've been having some similar issues as mine isn't recoglizing any MD5 when i try to flash a new rom.. I wiped my phone and have tried to flash a few roms and it fails every time and in wiping my phone it somehow took out my backup so without any other options (that I knew of) I just rebooted and luckily it loaded a completely bare vipor rom like what I started out with when I originally rooted.. BTW, did you create a backup before trying to flash? Should always make a backup....
Ya I had backed up. Turns out I needed to manually flash the boot.img which fixed the issue

Thanks for this. I had the same problem, (S-ON, TWRP. black screen on boot). I was able to flash stock-based ROMs, but not CM10, so I suspected it had something to do with the things that HTCDev won't allow the recovery access to, but the logs from TWRP didn't throw any errors, so while I suspected boot, I didn't know what to do about it. And everyone knows that it's easy to be caviler with everything is working, but as soon as you start having problems, you get gun shy about trying things.
Your post was the solution for me. Extract the boot.img file found inside the zip or your chosen ROM, and flash it using fastboot:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Hey out of curiosity did you like any of the stock based ROMs? If so which ones? I kinda wanna try one out but haven't settle on one
Hey guys so this is the first time I try to throw a new Rom on my one ever since I got it last year and threw SuperUser on it (this is the thread I used, yes I am on a Mac http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245782) . Tonight I was able to start the install for ViperOne (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345410) and everything was going good until the end, got a message saying there was a problem w/ installation 7 and to keep the log. Than I got a message saying that I may have lost root access and if I wanted Clockwork to fix it, I selected yes. And now I am on an ongoing loop. I get the green HTC logo saying "entering recovery" on top and than the recover flashes and goes back to HTC screen with the text "This build is for development purposes only..." and starts all over again. I am able to get into HBOOT and the top says ****Tampered**** ***Unlocked*** S-ON. I tried going thru the original thread and everything but I am stuck. Can't get into recover or anything.
Like I said earler, this is my second time doing this so I didn't clear anything prior to starting the ViperOne flash, I wasn't sure if I needed to. Anybody ever have this problem before? Or can someone help me out please?
I appreciate any help guys!

You need to update your custom recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.3 then flash your rom
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Thanks! I'll start right on it.
I was able to flash twrp but I don't have an option for erase cache. I selected reboot bootloader tried to go into the recovery but it flashes a bit than goes back into the loop.
So I was able to clear the cache and everything, I just now need to find a way to get the zip on the phone. For some reason I can't see it anymore. Could it be because I flashed it once already?
And I was able to install the Rom succesfully! Thanks for the help. I learned how to push the rom in tonight and got it going. Now I'm having a problem with the Viper One rom. Have any of you guys used the rom? I go thru everything, flash successfully but after I go thru all the steps for the setup, I get a mesage saying "Unfortunately Setup has stopped" and my only option is to hit Ok. Once I do that I go to a black screen and thats it. I tried to reboot the phone but it stays on the Viper One logo for 10 minutes now.
Stuck in a boot loop with my HTC one m7 (sprint - US) where I can use recovery just fine, I can flash both CWM and TWRP and sideload any ROM, but none work. AOKP and Cyanogenmod each crash seconds after booting to the lock screen and MIUI stays on but throws up persistent errors about the UI stopped responding (not giving me access to do anything). All I would like to do is get any stable ROM to run so that I can use an RUU file to restore everything. On another note, the phone says "unlocked" in the BIOS like screen at the beginning, but CWM and TWRP keep offering to root my phone, which never works. It was rooted before... Somehow my CWM back ups got deleted, no clue how. It seems like the same problem is affecting each rom, becuase I have used each before without a problem. any suggestions are much appreciated! Thank-you!
Tried:
wiped every thing I could from recovery menus
no backups available
I've searched these forums for over an hour now and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I had the stock 24A software and I rooted it using ioroot and everything went fine. I then wanted to flash a custom recovery, so I used the steps found on Droid News. It gives a link to an app that you install and it's supposed to flash the recovery.
Once it tried to reboot, I ended up with a white screen that shows a dew lines of text (I attached a picture).
If I try to go into download mode, it will flash for a quick second and then go right back to the white screen. I can't seem to get into the recovery either. The website that gave the instructions for flashing TWRP talked about a similar error on Sprint phones and the cure was to flash the kernel again, but I'm not really sure how. The phone will respond to commands in fastboot, i.e fastboot reboot, but it just goes to the same screen again.
Please help, I'm a little stuck. Can I use fastboot to flash the kernel, if so, how?
