When I boot into recovery, it'll give me the TWRP screen, the one you get before it goes to the touch screen, then the screen goes black and boots to the white htc screen stays there. I flashed CWM and it'll boot into the recovery, the recovery pops up but I'm unable to select anything and after about 3-5 seconds, it goes black and boots to the white htc screen. I've flashed the correct boot.img also just in case that got messed up but that doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas on stuff I can try next?
Oh yeah, also, it seems that I lost the ability for my computer to see whats on the internal storage. It just shows up as pictures and nothing else. I tried on two different computers that I'd synced up with before and they both act the same. I can use root explorer and see everything is still there. But from the computer, there is nothing.
Ended up flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset. Sucks I lost all my sdcard data, but at least I can get to the recovery now.

I attempted to flash MIUI.us V4 2.6.8 Atrix ByTeamMotoTegra today, and was almost successful, but I found out that I shouldn't have wiped the phone before flashing. I lost the touch functionality, and couldn't select my language. I flashed my old ROM (Neutrino) to try to flash back to MIUI, but still could not seem to get the touch funcationality.
After a few times of taking out the battery and trying to get the MIUI ROM working, I ran into a boot loop. The screen will not go past the screen with the red logo, no matter what I do. If I hold the volume up/down buttons, "starting RSD protocol support" appears, but nothing else happens. The phone just keeps turning off, then returning to the screen with the red logo. Any ideas on how to get past this screen?
i have a similar problem, i rooted and unlocked a friend atrix today on 2.3.6 version 4.5.141
it went fine and booted normally. i then went into cwm and made a mistake by not making a backup, cleared data cache and dalvik then proceeded to flash aokp. it booted but didnt go past the motorola dual core screen while still displaying unlocked. i can still go to fastboot and even into cwm as i have attempted to flash other roms after clearing all things out again but nothing is going past the boot screen.
any suggestions?
I can scroll through the other CWM menu options, but I can't boot up or anything else. Anytime I select one of the options, it will either just restart and go back to the red logo screen, or say I don't have enough battery life to flash. My battery is now completely dead and doesn't seem to be charging at all, even though it's been plugged in all night.
I recently tried a factory reset on my phone after finding that one of my apps was sending out spam texts to random people and racking up my text plan. Upon the first boot, it showed a green android man with a blue orb thing spinning in its stomach and kept going for hours.
My phone was previously running an unofficial build of CM12 and was unlocked and rooted.
Now, I just figured that I could just flash a new recovery to the phone and flash a new ROM to get it back up and running, but I also keep having troubles getting it to flash. Using 'flashboot devices', I see my phone's serial, but when I try to use 'flashboot erase recovery' or 'flashboot flash recovery recovery.img' seems to hang up. I finally got it to write clockwork recovery to the phone somehow, but the device still boots to the green android man w/ blue instead of clockwork. I thought it was an issue, so I have been trying to flash TWRP, and it just hangs, and doesn't even give the <waiting for device> text, so I know it sees it.
Can anyone help me figure out a way to get my recovery flashed correctly? From that point, I should be good to go, as long as it loads into recovery.
Tampered
I have tried everything I can think of, and it still stalls while it is supposed to flash the new recovery, then fails with the error "too many links".
Also, now the **TAMPERED** flag pops up at the top of the bootloader. It still lets me into the FASTBOOT portion, so I don't believe that it is effecting anything, so I will probably just have to worry about that later, if I really feel like going through the whole rumrunner/revone process.
TWRP
Not sure if it is a good sign or not, but I replaced the USB cable and was able to get TWRP to install and actually load once. There were errors after it booted, and I choose to do a full factory wipe to hopefully start over fresh, and the phone rebooted itself. Now TWRP seems to endlessly load while it the splash screen flashes on and off, almost as if it is in a bootloop. I tried reflashing with a slightly older TWRP for my phone, and no luck.
Also, another strange thing is that when I flash a new recovery file, it shows that it only takes a total time of 2.607s. If feel like this is quite short and I remember it taking a bit longer in the past. I just feel like it is not writing the entire recovery, hense the blinking teamwin logo that seems to be stuck in a bootloop.
Hello, I have an HTC Amaze for over a year now. It was working fine, I rooted it CWM 5. and I installed Android revolution custom ROM. Until 2 weeks ago my battery was giving me some trouble, so i put away the phone for a bit, I bought a new battery then I notice the phone wasn't coming on. SO i charge for an entire day it still wasn't charging. I carried it to the shop. They said, that they don't know whats wrong with the phone.
I came home and decide am going to fix it my self i tried powering it into recovery mode, hard reset. screen is still blank, at lease that is what I thought. I look closely and then i notice the phone was in recovery mode but no lights were on in the screen. So normally I thought what anyone would of thought, the bulb in the screen or some kind of wiring went bad. The i tried wiping cache davlik install new new rom. Nothing worked. and this was defficult because I had to use a flash light to see on the screen. Lastly, i just click reboot and then the phone lights up perfectly and HTC logo comes up and then it blanks off again. So can anyone help? any advise

Find the way to install adb and communicate with the phone via adb and fastboot. If you can do that, you will be able to install anything necessary to get the phone working again.
First however, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert the battery and charge the phone overnight. Next day, try and start phone usual way--see what happens.
If NOTHING happens and you get a black screen, remove battery again for a few seconds, reinsert, and this time hold the power button in for AT LEAST 20 seconds.
See if that starts the phone.
If you get absolutely nothing again, find the "Unbricking Project" thread, but if you get any kind of screen, see if you can boot to recovery and restore anything. If you get a screen but can't do any kind of restore at all, find instructions for adb and fastboot I mentioned earlier, so you can install a new recovery and flash a new rom..
I did everything you said. Except I complete forget how to flash recovery and custom rom from my pc but when I type command in fastboot "adb devices" it was successful.
However, I charge the phone and I got into the recovery mode again and the wipe everything and then click backup and recovery. I rebooted the phone and it came on as if its a brand new HTC Amaze. I had the phone working i rejoice for a bit and then I realize I forget to put in my sim card. So i turn the phone off, put in the sim card. The same problem again. No led, no light in the screen, the phone atomatically boots into recovery mood.
One more thing. when booting into recovery mode. the phone doesn't go where I see the 3 android at the bottom and you see, fastboot, reset etc. It goes straight to cwm screen.

I think that is what you should see when you boot into recovery.
Do whatever you did before to get the phone lit up again, then change the display settings to maybe 3/4 brightness for instance. Reboot the phone normal reboot and see if it comes back with light.
If it does, maybe you are fixed enough to install the sim.
Do you possibly have a nandroid backup saved somewhere, you could put it back in the phone via recovery?
The phone is lit up again like you asked me to do. It was hard to see in recovery mode. But i used a flashlight to look on the screen of the AMAZE then i flash a new custom rom. After multiple tries I got it up. SO its up and the brightness is at its highest point. But I dont believe thats the problem. I just need to figure out how the light stays off when in recovery mood but comes on when booted normally. Its as though the recovery is broken. How do I fix it? if its broken
Now since it's my ONLY phone, I beg you to help me as fast as possible!
I tried to root my phone through Odin. There were two files to load. I've loaded the step1.tar, but failed to load the second one.
After I loaded the first file, my phone rebooted into recovery mode. It was looking kinda different from the normal one. Like inverted colors or something. When I tried to reboot the system, it was plain black screen with errors ike "..... has stopped". I turned off the phone, and turned it again, only to see recovery mode again.
EVERYTIME I turn on my phone, it goes to recovery mode. When I choose the reboot system option, it goes black screen with errors. If I choose to wipe everything, and then reboot it, it goes absolutely fine. Untill I turn it off, of cource. Then it goes to recovery mode again.
HELP PLEASE

Well, it doesn't seems important error. Just download stock rom for your phone and reflash it, it will works again as you wish. The problem is you've flashed wrong file that it results a soft brick.
Edit: Not a soft brick, but a software failure.
My One M9 is stuck on boot screen and I've tried everything. This was just given to me it wasn't brand new though. When I do volume down and power button it just goes to HTC black screen and silver logo then reboots after 2 seconds. When I go to recovery mode to format data and cache it shows data can't be mounted. When I try to install RUU it says low battery when I go on Fastboot mode. And I also tried to install the ruu zip on recovery and it also shows the mount error. I also tried to unlock the bootloader but I can't do it because the OEM UNLOCK option in developer mode is not checked.
My bootloader screen shows

I'm so desperate right now I don't know what to do.
I'm having a similar issue. It started with the settings application on my phone apparently getting corrupted. I could no longer open it and couldn't do things like turn WIFI and GPS on and off, also Maps would crash just after launching. This was...inconvenient, as I was on a business trip at the time. Fortunately I had my work phone as a backup. Unfortunately, as I had just bought a larger SD card, I hadn't copied any of my backups over. By the time I got home, the phone would not reboot to the system at all, it just gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
I can still get into recovery/fastboot/download mode, and can still connect via USB in these modes. I first tried to reflash a few different backup ROMS, and some fresh ones. They all had the error "cannot mount /system". I also found out that I couldn't get to the data or system image partitions. After digging around in TWRP, I found that they have a size of 0MB. Looking around various threads, I read that an RUU has a good chance of restoring this, so I tried that out.
I ran into another problem with the RUU...no matter what my battery is charged to, the RUU will not start the install. It fails saying that the battery must be charged above 30%. This is was after I left it plugged in overnight. When powered off, it reads 100%. TWRP also registers it at 100%.
I have also tried extracting the stock ROM from the RUU to flash in TWRP, but no matter how many times I try the .zip that I find in the temp directory says that it is corrupted.
I am Modified/UNLOCKED/S-ON, does anyone have any ideas? I really appreciate any help!
Someone help us, please. Thank you!
