Hello. I'm trying to restore my phone to factory settings, as I'm no longer using it and have someone who would like it. However, when I try to flash a rom, it would say 'successful(flashing via TWRP ofc)', and I would clear the cache, and reboot to system. However, when I do this it just gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliantly splashscreen. I updated my TWRP to the latest version(2.7.0.0), however this pretty much removed the folder 'sdcard' and renamed it to 'internal storage' or something similar. Right now, I have it plugged in to the back of my computer, and it is stuck on the splashscreen. As a last resort, I have come to XDA-Developers as you guys are the ones I can trust at the moment. Any help?
Try flashing TWRP 2.6.3.3 then reflash the rom then clear the cache and reboot.

My phone wasn't connecting to HTC media link so I rebooted it and it got stuck on the htc one boot up screen. Rebooting it by holding down the power button gives the same result. I restored to the same condition while received this phone. Used Titanium to restore all my apps. Went into superSU and superSU asked me to update. I did and after it flashed the new superuser, it got stuck again. (I didn't flash any rom, I was just using stock rom rooted.)
Anyone has bumped into this problem and got any solutions?
Do you have custom recovery? If so try clearing dalvik cache and cache & fix permissions and see if that will solve the boot hang

Today I decided to root my phone, and after successfully doing that, decided I wanted to try out installing a custom ROM. Obviously by the title that didn't work out too well.
I'm using ClockworkMod as recovery, and I attempted to flash CyanogenMod using ROMManager. I created backups before I tried flashing, but that didn't help. Once I hit Install ROM from SD Card I made sure to back up again, but I did not check clear the cache which I probably should have done. My phone then rebooted into ClockworkMod and I then went to install zip from sdcard and chose the .zip that contained the latest CyanogenMod, it ran through the process alright then rebooted.
At that point I got stuck in a boot loop, I think it might've been either that I didn't clear the cache before or if it was that I had the .zip on an external SD card or not. I then looked up ways to fix the loop such as clearing the Dalvik cache, wiping the cache partition, then eventually I tried to wipe the data/factory reset on the recovery option but that all did nothing. During all this I also tried my backup hoping that would end my problem, but I got an error with the MD5 mismatching so I can't use that backup, I do have other backups on my computer, but I can't get them onto the SD card, and ADB isn't detecting my phone so I can't try a way to fix the backup that way either.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I can provide more information if needed. Any help would be great.
If you're S-on you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM. Hit the top link in my sig for more info. Also, TWRP recovery is recommended on the EVO LTE, not CWM, which is no longer supported, at least on this device.

Ok, thank you so much for your response this actually got me back on track after switching to TWRP and flashing the kernel first with CWM being the big issue for me. Now I'm just waiting for CyanogenMod to load, which I assume just takes a few minutes at the loading screen.
Got it fully working, thanks again
Not a problem.

Here's my situation--I had been running MeanBean for a while and decided to try Kush's KK build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518211&highlight=loop). I flashed the recovery he linked to, then installed the rom and gapps he linked to. TWRP said everything went successfully. But, when I reboot, the phone just hung at the HTC splash screen. I tried flashing again, downloading fresh and flashing again, wiping the cache, etc. Nothing worked.
So, I decided to go back to my last nandroid of MeanBean. But, after TWRP "successfully" recovered to the latest nandroid, I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone gets through the first part of the boot animation, then freezes and reboots. I tried installing a fresh version of MeanBean, flashing back to TWRP 2.6.3, but nothing has eliminated the boot loop.
I'm s-off and I've never gotten stuck like this before. Anyone have any thoughts?
Reboot to the bootloader and run the command "fastboot erase cache" from a command prompt, then try a fresh install. Are you sure you're S-off?

Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the cache from fastboot and did a fresh install of MeanBean. No luck--still in the same boot loop.

Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot image from the rom? You shouldn't need to if you're s-off but couldn't hurt if you're still getting boot loops.

Thanks, Fin. I tried fastboot flashing to boot.img separately (which shouldn't be necessary with s-off) after a fresh install, and I'm still in the boot loop. Any other ideas?
Go to recovery, do a full system wipe (data, system, Dalvik & cache) and re-flash the ROM after a fresh download. Really, though, you shouldn't have to wipe cache, since it's under /data.

Okay, did a full wipe, got a fresh download and installed. Still in the same boot loop. I also tried flashing TWRP fresh again. Any other ideas or am I bricked?

What ROM are you trying to flash at this point, and also, which recovery are you using, the one posted in Deck's OP, or one from the TWRP website? If you're trying to flash a 4.4 ROM, use the recovery posted in Deck's OP. If you're trying to flash a different ROM, use the regular TWRP recovery.

Trying to flash MeanBean, which is what I've been using previously. I flashed the regular 2.6.3 Jewel TWRP.
It sounds to me like you have the same problem I did. When in recovery and you wipe caches does it say failed? Look into your internal sdcard and if it is empty then it has been erased and corrupted. If so remove your sd card and plug your phone into your pc and mount usb. If it says the card needs to re-format then that is your problem. Re-format your internal sdcard and replace your external sd-card. Flash meanbean and reboot.

Hmm, don't think that's it. I've been able to mount internal storage and wipe the cache, etc. just fine.
I'm at a loss at this point as to what the problem might be. If you shoot me a PM I have one last option for you.

Hi!
I have a problem with my LG Optimus 3D (P920). Installed the JellycreamV3 and it went good, untill everything was complete and I restarted the phone as instructed. Now my phone stucks at startup logo. Its been like that for hours but nothing happends? I have tried to restarted it several times without any resaults. Please help me. Its my first attempt to install new android version.
Perhaps your install was bad, try reinstalling it, or maybe you didn't clear the cache, system, data?

- Boot into Recovery again
- Wipe data/cache and go to "Advanced" and wipe Dalvik (yes, this will delete everthing, but you don't exactly have a choice)
Reboot. If it's still hanging
- Boot into Recovery again
- Re-flash ROM
And BTW, didn't you make a backup of your original ROM? If not, well.. you won't go any places fast. Another tip is to go to the thread where you downloaded the ROM and ask for help there. People there have flashed the ROM, and some may have had the same issue as you have now.
I try to go into recover-mode but it just starts up and get stuck on the logo:S I did a backup but no matter how i press the buttons to access the recover-mode the phone just starts up and the LG logo comes up. Then its stuck there
Okay... So I have a bit of an issue here that I hope I can get resolved really quickly. I got an HTC Evo 4G LTE and decided I wanted to root it in a fairly short amount of time. I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S3 which I rooted and I have a Nexus 7 tablet which is rooted, so I'm not necessarily new to the process. I followed all the normal steps.
However, whenever it came to installing twrp I thought it would be better to install cwm, so I switched the recovery image files. This worked for the time being and I was able to boot into recovery without a problem. I booted into recovery successfully and was able to wipe everything that needed wiping, but since this is a new phone I didn't think it would be necessary to back up anything, so I skipped that step. After wiping the dalvik cache, sys cache and did a data/factory reset I went to install CyanogenMod 11 (since I wanted android 4.4 on my Evo). When it went to install the mod the phone gave me a "status 7" error message. I tried again to no avail. So I thought it was because I had installed cwm instead of twrp. So I went ahead and flashed twrp onto the phone. No dice, twrp didn't even work. So I flashed a stock rom, didn't work either. So I re-flashed cwm onto the device and now it won't go past the recovery stage. i.e. when I try to power on the phone it goes directly into recovery, I boot into the "power+volume down" mode and it doesn't help at all. So I'm kind of stuck at this point and not sure what to do. I cannot access the internal files of the phone and I would really like to get it working by tomorrow or the next day.
Thanks for your time.

In addition to what Bigdaddy posted, you need to use TWRP recovery, not CWM. CWM doesn't play well with the misc partition on the EVO LTE. I also suggest reading the Hboot guide in my sig for some useful information. Once you get your phone up & running, you will need to fix your misc partition.
