little backstory/info: Had my DNA rooted for years now. S-off, unlocked...all that good stuff.
This morning I wake up and go to turn on the screen (it was asleep, not powered off). well the screen didnt light up but my notification light was blinking.
Tried a few taps of the power button as this has happened before (the phone is getting pretty old now). No avail, so i hold the power button until the touch keys start to blink and reboot the phone.
Upon turning back on it shows the screen that normally shows the htc logo (mine is modded) and then it should go to the boot image (in my case, a custom .gif that i flashed over long ago). well, before it gets to the boot image it simply blacks out and reboots.
At one point in time i could boot to the hboot screen and select 'recovery'... it would say 'entering recovery...' in pink at the top of the screen ... and then reboot. So, no getting into the recovery
Now, hitting 'recovery' in hboot sends me directly to the fastboot menu
So, here's what I'm able to do. I can boot to fastboot and issue fastboot commands using minimal_adb.
I've tried
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
which returns
Code:
writing 'recovery'
FAILED (Remote: image update error)
Yes, the recovery .img is in the same folder with adb.
Yes, the name of the .img was typed in correctly.
Yes, I tried other recovery .img.
At this point I don't mind having to wipe everything, the thing is, I only have fastboot to work with.
kind of same here
mine is just stuck in the bootloader and nothing works like holding the power and volume buttons and if i plug in the charger it keep restarting over and over again on the htc logo part.

Mine has gotten to the point now where it doesn't boot loop sometimes, but it still doesn't load past the initial boot up screen (normally white screen with HTC logo)
I've since gone and gotten a new phone (I was due to upgrade anyway) but still wouldn't mind being able to recover the DNA and the media on it if i can.
were you using a custom recovery?

if you go into bootloader, does it still keep rebooting?
Mine was all stock.....same issue.
I brought the phone back to life but theres no recovery

Hey guys,
So I properly powered down my phone and went to go into the bootloader by holding vol down + power button. As soon as it opened up the bootloader the phone turned off. I went to turn it on and it flashes the white sprint screen for less than 1 sec and turns off. When I plug it into a charger the light turns on for a few secs then goes away.
I have s-off + cwm.
I have read that if your battery dies in the bootloader after installing cwm your battery won't charge and the phone won't boot. I am not sure if this is the case but was hoping to get some input.
I am not sure what percentage my battery was at when this happened.
Thanks!
Go to bootloader (cwm) and reinstall your back up rom that outta do it. And after download the rom you currently have but replace your old one and flash it over usin cwm

My phone only stays on for 1 second tops. I cannot go to my bootloader. My computer sees the phone even when it won't turn on witch is weird. I also cannot communicate with the phone with adb / fastboot etc. The only thing I have not tried is hacking a usb cable to communicate. Any advice would be great. I will try a battery tomorrow.
ADB
Wow hey ok so I can see the phone in ADB after all... List of devices attached
HT167HX05101 recovery
Is there a way to flash the old recovery?
Or can someone point me to the RUU.exe? Not the ZIP
Thanks!
EDIT:
Well never mind... I had adb and booted into bootloader and flashed team win recovery from fastboot and it failed - sending 'recovery' (5016 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (status read failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))
Now the light stays on when I plug in but no longer flashes when I power button and no more adb. I'm screwed
Idk what your problem is since i do not have your phone in front of me, either you deleted an import file and are now screwed no offense and cant boot your phone my suggestion is to either call or take it to the store by gettin a new one. I would tell them your phone got hot all the sudden and just crashed that way its under warentee
Supa Dupa Troopah
can you use fastboot? Also, leave the phone alone and charge it, while off, for a bit. If you come back to a full charge phone and hold vol down and then power, it should boot into fastboot, try running a fastboot command from the PC. Also, you could download twrp 1.0.2 zip and put it on your SD card as PG86IMG.zip, same vol down/power and it *might* install the recovery from hboot. Don't give up yet. In theory if your charging light turns on, you're not bricked.
hopefully this works for me !!
Thanks

I last time I had adb I got into the bootloader by using an adb command once in there I flashed teamwin rec. It failed during install and ever since I am locked out. I can't get any commands. I wonder if it damaged my boot loader. Ill keep trying otherwise I should be able to get it swapped since it does not boot at all

The first thing you need to do is enable NVFlash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774352
Once you do that you can continue tinkering with the device
The screen you linked to is the bootloader screen not the recovery screen. to enter the recovery you have to press vol down, on the RCK icon. If you loaded the recovery successfully it should load, if not you need to try to install it again because something did not work correctly.
Word of caution recoveries do not work yet with JellyBean so if you load a JB rom, do not try to load a recovery, this is what almost bricked my device, but thanks to NVFlash i was saved.
Good Luck and Happy Modding!

I think he already has nvflash or he wouldn't have the rck icon.
to enter recovery he uses volume up on the icon not volume down. volume down selects it.
recoveries work fine as long as you are restoring a jb rom and using twrp.

I don't have NVFlash, stock device a week old and I have the RCK icon when I hold Vol Down and power on.
I never used NVFlash.
I have the recovery icon but when I select it (as on the picture), there is a text saying "Booting recovery kernel image" and then nothing else happends.
Since i could not turn off the device, i let it run out of battery yesterday. So i recharged it, and now I can't access fastboot anymore, when I do power + vol down I end up on the asus boot logo...

If you had held the power off button for 10 seconds the device should have restarted.

The problem is that I could not turn it off, so it normaly went out of battery.
Today I wanted to try NVFlash so I recharged my prime, and when I wanted to boot it and put it in fastboot mode I couldnt get to the selection screen (with RKV, Android, Fastboot, Wipe). It just boots on the asus boot logo.

I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
Hi guys, any help would be much appreciated! I have studied all threads on XDA on bricked and boot loop'ed Honor 5X phones. I'm not a complete noob -- I have been flashing CM/LineageOS for years on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 9 and 6P, and this is the first time I have been stumped.
My KIW-L24 has an early version of LineageOS 14.1, and also TWRP 3.1.1-0 on it. I used the LineageOS updater to download a later LineageOS build, and initiated the update. As expected, the phone rebooted into TWRP, briefly showed the TWRP boot screen, but then after about 1 second, the phone reboots to the Honor boot screen for about 3 seconds, and then boots back to TWRP ... and so the cycle repeats endlessly between the two boot screens until the battery dies.
I cannot seem to get the device into bootloader/fastboot mode so that I can reflash TWRP and/or LineageOS or stock ROM. I have tried every combination of hardware keys to get the phone into fastboot (including Power+Vol Down). I tried initiating the download mode back to stock with the update.app placed in /dload/ on the sdcard (Power+Vol Down+Vol Up). I tried plugging in the PC-USB cable + Vol Down. While plugged into the PC via USB cable, I tried issuing "adb reboot bootloader" while the TWRP screen momentarily pops up (I literally have a less than a half-second when adb recognizes the phone). All without any success.
I am truly stuck! Any ideas? I have a practically brand new paperweight at the moment. :crying: Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions!
Are you sure battery isnt flat ?
You can use twrp as fas as i understand.. Correct me if i am wrong..
You can download stock rom twrp backup for your model from repository thread and try to restore backup with twrp..
Thanks, but I cannot 'use' TWRP! If I could, my problems would be easily solved, I have plenty of experience re-flashing ROMs, boot images, radios, etc.
Also, the battery is fine. At full charge, the phone powers up and immediately enters the endless boot cycle I previously described.
As soon as the phone shows the TWRP boot screen, the phone reboots again. I cannot do anything at all with TWRP. As I previously wrote, I have even tried using adb to force a reboot into fastboot while the TWRP boot screen shows for that split second (the PC momentarily recognizes the USB Android device). Unfortunately , TWRP reboots the phone too quickly.

Thanks, I just spent the another hour trying to enter Fastboot and eRecovery modes, and I must be missing something! At this point, no matter which button combination I press, I can't seem to affect the boot cycling of the phone (between TWRP and Honor boot screens).
Maybe relevant, but I am unable to even turn off the phone, it won't stop the alternating boot loop -- I don't believe in coincidences, but perhaps the power button just died? I had one Nexus 5 that started bootlooping because of the power button issue, but that was a very different behaviour than this -- the Honor deosn't get as far as booting to the OS.

Sound to me like you flash Non VOLTE firmware on a Volte enabled modem thats causing the boot loop, the best course of action is to restore using e-recovery, that uses a separate recovery partition so hopefully wont boot loop, remember it may take a few times to boot and you must use a usb lead that is connected to a computer, a usb charger WILL NOT DO IT !
When it boots to e-recovery select download latest firmware, you will need to connect to wifi, just follow instructions and let it restore

Erecovery should work, connect your USB to a computer and volume down + power
Another new user who posts when he has a problem and doesn't reply with an update as to what solution solved his problem, this constantly winds me up, new users who do this and dont update the thread should be kicked off
SOLVED!
Sorry for the delay of the update--I got busy and left my phone to collect dust for a while.
The ONLY solution that actually worked was to rip the phone apart and physically disconnect the battery ( !! ). Then, reconnecting the battery while holding down [Power] and [Vol -] got me into fastboot recovery, as per instructions in this thread (I had to avoid booting normally, or into recovery -- TWRP -- since either would put the phone back into the bootloop):
​https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-entering-fastboot-using-key-t3400869
After that, it was smooth sailing; I was able to kill TWRP by flashing RECOVERY.img that I extracted from stock B140 image (using Huawei extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454), then force-update to stock B331, then latest TWRP and LineageOS. One hiccup: for whatever reason, I needed to do a factory reset/wipe in TWRP before it would flash LineageOS without giving error 7, despite the fact that I had just flashed the stock image.
Thank you all for your help and input!
I have Lenovo TAB S8-50F that is currently stuck in a boot loop. It shows the white Lenovo and "android" text on black background boot screen for 30 to 60 seconds, then shuts off, vibrates and the screen flickers some white color and then goes back into the Lenovo and "android" text boot screen and repeats.
After some investigation on these forums and Google, I have tried the following:
Hold down Power + Volume Up + Volume Down until I see "fastboot starting...". I wait 5 - 10 minutes and it still says "fastboot starting...", nothing else. I try to connect to my Windows 8 laptop but it doesn't recognize the device.
Hold down Power + Volume Down until I see the boot screen, then let go of Power (keeping Volume Down pressed). Apparently this should boot into a Recovery menu, but nothing happens and it continues to just turn off after about a minute and boot loop
Hold down Power + Volume Up until I see the boot screen, then let go of Power (keeping Volume Up pressed). Same result as above, it still goes into boot loop.
During any of the 3 scenarios above, I can turn off the tablet by holding Power + Volume Up. Also I never saw any other messages like "EFI failed" or "No mounted drive" that other users had problems with.
Is there anyone out there that can help me restore this tablet back to functional state? I'm not sure what happened that caused this to happen.

my case
i always keep two phones with me like one for my experiments and one as a backup. In this case i'll be talking about my lyf wind 3 that got bricked.
>actually i was trying to install twrp onto that phone but first i had to root it, and due to the upgraded android security, i wasn't able to do via kingoroot so i tried i-root and it did the job but instead of kingo-superuser i got some ****ty superuser so i tried granting permission to the actual superuser and while doing so i accidentally double rooted my phone (first with i-root and then with kingoroot), which was kinda stupid, so it just deleted some system files and my phone wouldn't boot after that. It just got stuck on the boot logo.
