Ok so here is the story, I've tried to flash the TWRP on the tablet, and since then it keeps rebooting only in recovery, even when i try to boot in fastboot via the volume and power it just goes in recovery, no matter what i do it just boots in recovery
The bad part is the recovery is pretty much worthless because it asks for a password to the data (it was never encrypted) so i cannot install any OS
What can i do?
Thx

Which recovery did you install? Can you load recovery again and install a rom on an sd card?

Hi,
yesterday I tried to upgrade to CM7.2 from a nightly. As I've been doing, I put the .zip in the sdcard and flashed it with ROM Manager (wiping everything). After flashing it, my phone stucked at HTC white screen and there is no way to switch it on, it stays at this screen all the time.
For my disgrace, it's S-ON, so I can't boot into recovery and restore anything. I've tried to restore a nandroid with fastboot and it doesnt't work (says "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)").
Any ideas? It's definetly bricked? Is there any hope of repairing it?
Thanks in advance (and please forgive my poor english xD)

What do you mean you cant boot into recovery because you are S-ON?
All you need to do is put the recovery file other wise known as flakeflash "UPDATE.ZIP" into the root of the SDcard, turn off your phone (Pull Battery), then press the down button and power button together, wait for the phone to do its stuff, then select recovery in the menu, the phone will reboot into red exclamation mark, press volume up and power, it will then go into stock recovery menu and will then look for the "UPDATE.ZIP" if all is well you should then go into the fakeflash version of clockworkmod recovery.
Does it boot when USB cable is plugged in (soft usb brick)?

Thank you very much, now I can boot into cwm, but I'm having some troubles when trying to flash CM7.2 (or even trying to restore any nandroid backup).
First, when I try to install CM7.2, it does it very fast, without showing any error, but when I restart the phone it gets stuck again on HTC screen.
Then I try to restore a nandroid backup but it doesn't find boot.img, system.img and data.img, skips all steps and restores nothing.
My last shot, try to install the last nightly I used, fails at the same point as when I try it with CM7.2.
I don't know what else can I do, any ideas? I hope there's still any chance for my Legend (and again forgive my bad english xD)
A few points, make sure the rom zip file you are going to flash is not corrupt or incomplete.
Boot into cwm recovery,
Make sure to format the boot, system, data, cache & ext, it wouldn't hurt to delete the dalvik cache too before flashing new Rom. Just remember NOT TO FORMAT SD card.
Using this method I have always been able to flash a new Rom.

Prepare a new SD card in your PC (FAT32), put UPDATE.ZIP on it and a stock ROM, reboot into recovery, wipe all you can (factory settings) and flash the stock ROM, see if that works. If so, you could try to flash a custom ROM.
That is what I would try...
I'm too.
I can't up CookROm by Rom Manager,
but when i use ClockworkMod recovery, its OK

So... I got my HTC One today and it's been a very difficult experiance. I am quite a newbie when it comes to rooting and such but I managed to unlock my bootloader (with the exception that it shows TAMPERED at the top) then proceded to flash TWRP through fastboot. TWRP wouldn't mount /data, /sdcard, etc... it wouldn't work. A little bit of searching led me to flash CWM instead and that seemed to work.
In CWM I wiped data/factory reset, then flashed SuperSU, then flashed CleanROM, then flashed BulletKernel, and finally reboot. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop and when I go to my bootloader and try to enter recovery it reboots, shows the CWM logo then reboots my phone. I tried re-flashing CWM via fastboot to no avail.
TL;DR: Phone is in bootloop and won't even boot into recovery
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you!
EDIT: Had a feeling it was due to the fact I didn't clear cache/dalvik cache before rebooting. I erased my cache via fastboot and voila it booted into recovery!

Boot into bootloader. Then do fastboot erase cache. Then try rebooting. If you can get into recovery but not ROM, reflash the ROM. If you can't even get into recovery still, try reflashing recovery. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Then try getting into recovery and reflashing.

I don't understand what is it that I might be doing wrong, I root the tablet, have bootloader unlocked, and install Dualrecovery. From TWRP recovery I wipe Dalvik cache, Cache, System, and Data. Install PAC Rom Castor and GApps using TWRP, all seems to go well, no errors present themselves. Then I reflash "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable" to keep the recovery intact before I attempt to boot into system per their instructions after installing a custom ROM. I wiped Dalvik and Cache before I reboot and once it goes away from recovery nothing occurs just my tablet remaining in flash boot which is a good thing so I can start all over again since obviously something went wrong and just use flashtools to get back to an old stock firmware. I have a SGP512. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Edit: Even tried it w/o wiping system and same results just doesn't boot.

Your device will never Boot if you flash pac with nuts recovery. It causes to much Problems with cm based roms. So to rescue your tab you need Boot into fastboot and write "fastboot erase recovery" then flash this kernel http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/do...2U3RrS2VybmVsX1dJRkktdjAzXzE3LjEuMS5BLjAuNDAy
Do not reboot to system. Power of the device and then Boot into recovery (when you see the Sony logo and the LED light turns pink/amber/orange keep tapping/pressing VOLUME UP key). Then you will See cwm recovery. There first do a factory reset and Format system. Format system is in mounts and storage options) now flash PAC Rom and gapps and reboot to system now the device should Boot correctly. After the first boot do all settings then go to developer options and you will find expand reboot menu or something Luke this. Tick it and than hold the power button for some second tap reboot than bootloader (before connect the device with your PC) than use fastboot to flash the New recovery. Use one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...wrp-cwm-philz-recovery-collection-z2-t3052676
For instructions to flash recovery look in the thread there are a step "Installation" if you need more help write me

Thanks! I used Flashtools to flash over the recovery via fastboot and accessed the recovery to do the rest. I had no idea CM based ROMS don't work well that recovery or any other I haven't tried yet. Any suggestion on what recovery to use? So far CWM got me this far not sure if I should try others. Philz Touch seems to be more appealing and the same as CWM.

This is twrp but it works with cmbased roms.
My phone recently have gone into a boot loop, so I booted it into recovery and wiped it in order to reflash. But then, when I updated the TWRP recovery to the latest version, the phone stopped bootin into it. Now only the fastboot mode works, and when I try to boot into recovery, it just reboots. I am trying the twrp-3.1.1-0-kenzo on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. How do I make it work?
When u flashed new recovery did you try booting it using key combo before booting to system

Of course. That's when it just flashes the red light indicator and reboots. In fact, there is no "system" to boot into, as I wiped it clean before reflashing the recovery.

Why did you flash a newer version of TWRP, instead of a rom? Reflash the working twrp which was working before you wiped in order to reflash.

I don't remember which version it was. I think, it was something 2.x.x, and I can't find anything earlier than 3.0.2 anywhere. 3.0.2-0-kenzo also does not work for me.
bro,Install twrp by this method.

I just switched my phone on, and it booted into TWRP recovery that I installed eralier! But all the storage partitions were showing zero size, so I reformatted them and selected "reboot into recovery" option. But it did not boot into recovery, and now it is stuck on the "MI" logo and the "Volume Up + Power" key combo only makes it reboot, just like before. How do I boot into recovery?
I figured it out. The whole deal was about dead battery which caused the device to fail to boot even the recovery, even when charging. It charged up a bit, and I sucsessfully flashed the phone.

Sounds like you have some reading to do start with this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....-g5/how-to/info-autos-g5-thread-t3350648/amp/
It's a good read...... If you're still stuck know that after you fastboot flash TWRP you have to unplug and pull the battery. Because if you don't the stock recovery overwrites the custom upon reboot.
If you don't flash magisk or su or dmvertify once in recovery it will flash stock recovery upon reboot.
maybe the problem is to pull battery out... cause i already done this and i had a twrp and it work great... until installing the stock kdz
