No matter which ROM I use, I get the same result. My phone restarts, stays on the logo screen for a few seconds, then reboots again into Recovery. I have HBoot 1.57, and I'm using TWRP Recovery.

what version of TWRP - Try 2.6.3.3 it's the most used and works with a lot of Roms
If you continue to have problems the next step is to Format Data in TWRP / Wipe
Be aware you'll completely wipe your phone and you'll have to push or sideload a rom back onto the phone
Install "TWRP manager" from the Google play store and use that to reinstall or update your TWRP to the latest version.
You may also try using ClockWork Mod Touch instead of TWRP
Go to google dot com and search for CWM HTC M7
Thats what I did because TWRP would always give me an error message when I tried restoring a nandroid backup

I flashed a ROM (InfectedROM) all was working and the phone was up and running until the phone crashed. The phone then went into an endless reboot so I booted into recovery (TWRP) and I restored the nandroid backup I made before I started, but now it goes to the HTC splash with the white background and won't do anything else.
[Edit]
Well I managed to kinda fix the problem. I booted into recovery and selected wipe all data (Factory reset), then I re-flashed InfectedROM and managed to get the phone to boot. Still can't understand why my nandroid backup don't work to make the phone boot.
I would like to revert back to the stock ROM but being able to use my phone is better than not...

Well when you did this did you fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe and then try the nan? Maybe what you need to do.. Also if you make future ones I would fastboot boot recovery.img and then make a nandroid backup..

Does it make a difference if I fastboot boot recovery.img to wipe before I restore my nan backup? To answer you question, no I did not. Here's what I did form the get go:
1) unlocked my bootloader via HTC's unlock method leaving my phone's bootloader unlocked with s-on
2) I after a while decided to try out anther ROM I went with InfectedROM, So I booted into recovery (TWRP) holding the vol down key while pressing the power key and made a nan backup
3) I rebooted my phone using reboot system from TWRP
4) I then rebooted my phone (adb reboot bootloader)
5) I went into fast boot and booted into recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img)
6) I wiped all data then went into install from zip selected the InfectedROM zip on my sdcard
7) Rebooted via recovery's reboot command
Please bear with me while I am a wiz at using the command line in both Linux and Windows I am a noob when it comes to flashing roms and such.

So you are on the latest software? If you want something close to stock just to keep things smooth you could try fresh rom or my rom I did both of these are stock based... If you want just the stock look with stock everything go for the stock rooted copies they have in the dev section..
I never made a nandroid copy of my orignal rom since a ruu will always save you when you have to unroot
Does the nandroid back up cause reboots or a hang... Sometimes it takes a good 3 mins for it to move on depends...
When you made the nan backup were you on the 2.08 software or the 2.17 ? Did you update to the 2.17 after you made a backup in the past?

I am indeed running the latest software. Thank you I will check out your ROM!
My nandroid back backs up and restores fine but after I reboot after doing a restore the phone does not boot, it just stays on the HTC logo with the white screen.
I did not do any updates after I did my nan backup.

the boot.img file you have in your restore set up is invalid... i would try to resave your settings agin and then restore from there...boot.img should write to the boot partition if not through recovery then through manual flashing in fastboot
MeanROM is also pretty nice. It is like FreshRom and CleanRom in the way that it is based around Stock, except that it has some pretty beefy features.
hi all, my friend got mediapad and he wanted custom rom so I flashed twrp recovery and his tablet became bricked, it shows huawei logo, then white screen and then after few seconds it shuts down, I tried to restore my backup to his tablet (CM10.1) via twrp and then it booted without problems but when I do wipe data/actory reset, the white screen and bootloop appears again, where is the problem? in twrp recovery? should I choose cwm for his device? twrp shows error "E: unknown filesystem datamedia" (also on my device but mine works without problems)
thanks for any help

Did you say you did a restore then you wiped data/factory reset?
Try opening twrp wipe data, wipe the system perform factory reset, then installed fresh version of cm10.1
but this happen also with stock recovery and stock rom install (dload folder), it starts installation (green android with gearbox) and after 2 seconds it restarts (and keep looping) it looks like corrupted partitions and it started after twrp flash
maybe you need to enter to fastboot mode and then push stock's ROM one-by-one like ICS beta back to honeycomb
what partitions must I flash ? are their names same as img files in rom's zip?
Hello, my phone was running slowly so I decided to go back to a previous backup and run very few apps. I restore a Nandroid backup and when I did the phone told me an update was available, I tried to install it but it just kept restarting to recovery and I had to reboot into System manually and it never applied the update.
Someone told me I needed a stock recovery, I thought Well, since I'm flashing something, why not flash a JB file too? I went and downloaded a JB rom, flashed that and the recovery but it didn't boot (probably because my hboot is 1.20) so I tried a different rom, basically I tried different combinations but somehow nothing seemed to work, and now I can't boot my phone. I've read that you can brick your phone if you wipe the EMMC, I don't remember doing that but I tried so many things that I might have wiped it without noticing. Is there a way to verify the EMMC? I can boot into recovery with fastboot, but when I install any rom, it just doesn't boot, it gets stuck in the first HTC screen with the HTC logo and those red letters I got after rooting (this rom is property of HTC...don't distribute outside without written permission...etc etc).
So, do you think this can be an EMMC problem, or just a kernel problem? I tried flashing the boot.img from my Nandroid backup (actually it was called boot.emmc.win but I renamed it to boot.img following some instructions I found online) but even with the Nandroid backup that worked before the phone would not start.
If this is indeed an EMMC problem, is there a way to fix it?
Thank you very much.
You also restored your nandroid backup from stock? As your hboot is 1.20 (which is quite old btw), you cannot flash JB kernels to boot partition so JB ROMs won't work without a workaround. So try to completely restore your stock nandroid backup or else you could try running a RUU if your CID is compatible.

Yes I read that you need at least hboot 1.25 to flash JB, that's why after flashing JB and seeing it wasn't starting, I tried to go back to my old ICS backup, but none of them work now, I have a Nandroid backup that was working before,here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Flash my old boot.emmc.win changing the name to boot.img and running "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
2. boot into TWRP-2.4.3.0 and do a Factory Reset, followed by a Restore of my backup, which restores System, Data and Boot, and gives me a "Restore Complete - Successful" message.
3. Install SuperSU right before rebooting
4. Reboot
After that the phone just gets stuck on the first HTC screen, the one with the red letters. I don't know much about android, but I think I'm following all the steps correctly, to restore my old Nandroid backup. Or am I doing something wrong?
My CID is ORANG309, I got a 4.0.1 RUU (at least that's what the person said) and I'm going to try to recover that one. It's not a ZIP file, it's a folder with files inside, so i'll probably have to restore it as a normal Nandroid.
Try flashing the system partition as well before restoring your backup.

You mean formatting the /system partition? I try that too, but it doesn't seem to work. Now that I was into TWRP, I saw the Wipe buttons and there is one called "Wipe internal storage" that I might have pressed before, it kinda rings a bell. So assuming I did press it, does that wipe the EMMC? Is there a way to recover it?
I've been trying to flash using Dumlock because it doesn't seem to work from the normal recovery. Here's then what I do.
1. Boot into normal TWRP recovery.
2. Click Advanced -> HTC Dumlock
3. Inside, I click "Reflash recovery" which supposedly reflashes the recovery into boot.
3. Tap "Reboot" and "System". This should reboot into the Recovery in the boot partition, but it gets stuck in a reboot loop.
So I can't boot into the recovery that should be in the boot part. And now when I enter into normal recovery, whenever I restore a Nandroid, right after doing it if I choose "Reboot", it says "No OS Installed!"

Yeah, that doesn't work. I restore the Nandroid and then when I go to reboot, TWRP says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot"
Update: Using my old Nandroid, I tried this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
All of them worked, except for the "data", but the phone does not work. Tried doing the same, then flashing data from inside of TWRP recovery, same thing. Phone is stuck on the HTC screen and it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Tried Dumlock, but it doesn't seem to be writing the Recovery image to boot. I even went and copied a recovery.img file into "/sdcard/twrp/dumlock/<device>/boot/boot.img" and from the TWRP Dumlock menu, tried to "Restore original boot" to see if Dumlock would assume that "boot.img" was the file to flash into the recovery, but when I restart it's just the HTC screen. I'm using TWRP 2.4, and renamed TWRP 2.6 as "boot.img" because the difference in version number would let me know from where was the recovery being booted, but I can't flash into twrp 2.6, aka the fake boot.img.
Tried downloading some RUUs for Spain, but the recovery process failed.
So is it safe to assume that this phone is bricked? I have S-ON, like all other Desire X devices (I think) so can you brick a phone with S-ON? Is there a way to restore the original stock rom? Or at least a way that I can remove the red letters on the boot animation, the ones that say "This build is for development purposes" so that I can take it to the store and hopefully they won't notice that my bootloader is unlocked and maybe they will fix it under the warranty?
thanks
Nevermind, I flashed a ICS Nandroid with the adequate recovery (nexusrecovery) and it works now

Are you using htc desire S I'm also stuck at the HTC screen, I did HTCdev unlocking. On the recovery mode it shows unlocked, but I did not notice that S-ON was still on. Where can I find an ICS Nandroid of htc desire s? Thanks
Take a look at the HTC Desire S forum, this one is just for HTC Desire S. if you don't find it, ask there...
Hello guys, so previously I was on nameless rom 4.4, and i wanted to change my recovery from cwm recovery to twrp recovery. So I used this app from the playstore to do it TWRP Manager app. Anyways this app seemed pretty buggy to me, and it was requesting me to install busybox, so i just followed the instructions. Anyways, after it had finished installing twrp, I wanted to test it out. So, when i tried to reboot in recovery, the phone is now stuck on the samsung logo. Cant even boot normally. What should i do now?

Try and reboot into recovery holding up power and home keys then wait galaxy s3 to be displayed then the phone should boot into recovery. From there do a wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. I would recommended using the latest Clockworkmod recovery as it seems reliable. You can install it using Rom Manager from Play Store, as long as you have root follow the necessary instructions to flash the recovery.

You may need to flash back to stock using Odin then re rooting again.
so i should flash the latest stock rom (4.3) for my region using odin? like this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081
fixed using odin, though rather sad that my internal sd got wiped as well

Glad it's fixed I would recommend not to use apps from playstore to flash recoveries or roms seen nothing but trouble from them.Either use Odin or custom recovery to flash to avoid trouble in the future.
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 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.
