[Q] Boot Loop - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I hate to be a newbie but I really read through the entire troubleshooting guide and didn't really understand how to proceed.
I have a rooted Evo 4G LTE with latest stock ROM and TWRP recovery installed (2.5).
This morning my device was pissing me off so I thought it would be a good idea to flash it with CyanogenMod. I went into TWRP, wiped EVERYTHING. loaded the CYanogen Zip on the SD Card, and flashed. Device went right into soft brick.
Tried to flash a couple of other ROMS, also didn't work. in the mean time I discovered BeanStalk which I think is the ROM I want to use.
I have ADB / Fastboot / Latest drivers installed on my computer but when I try to do anything it acts like the device is not connected.
Any advice how to proceed?
From the troubleshooting guide I think my problem might be:
Missing ROM Due to a misunderstanding, you have already wiped all ROM data from phone (cache, dalvik, and system) and fastboot flashed the kernel. Now phone hangs on HTC boot screen and will not load Android. Only the kernel has been flashed, the screen hangs because there is no OS to load. Fear not, return to recovery and flash the ROM package that your boot.image originated from. Now select reboot to system and wait for your phone to restart. The kernel will boot, your OS will load, and all will be right with the world.

But I already tried to flash the rom package ( I think).
Help would be much appreciated! thank you!

If you are s-on you have to fastboot flash or use Flash Image GUI to flash the boot.img/kernel first then flash the rom from twrp

Thanks for the help man, I'm just not sure HOW to flash the boot.img/kernel first then flash the rom from twrp
1. Where do I get the Boot.img/kernel? is it just a file I download?
2. What's the command to flash it to the device?
THANK U

You can get a copy of Flash Image GUI here to flash the kernel or pull the boot.img from the rom zip and put it in the folder you have adb and fastboot in and fastboot flash from there.
Here is a guide you can look at to show you how to do the whole process

Well, clearly "Flash Image GUI" isn't going to help me because as I stated before, my device is in boot loop.
I've placed boot.img in my C:\ROOT folder where I keep all my root related files (like ADB and FASTBOOT) but when I run the command:
fastboot flash boot.img
I get the error: unknown partition 'boot.img' error cannot determine image filename for boot.img

Should be
fastboot flash boot boot.img

at this point it just goes < WAITING FOR DEVICE >
I think this is part of the problem. Even though I installed the latest HTC Drivers it seems the computer isn't recognizing the device. When I'm in TWRP and I mount it - it DOES show up in My computer. But not when I'm at that first boot menu.

Try this
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone, right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Whats next
OK! turns out I just needed a restart. I ran the command:
C:\ROOT>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (5770 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.899s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.461s]
finished. total time: 2.360s
Now what? what's the next command? do I flash the rom? the recovery?

Choose recovery from the bootloader then flash the rom like you normally would

ALL GOOD
NEVER MIND! That totally did it! Wonderful! Thank you so much for your help man!
I REALLY appreciate it!

[Q] Cannot boot into recovery or factory reset [SOLVED]

Hi xda !
As the title says, my Prime can't get into recovery, and I can't factory reset it from within Android's settings either for some reason. How or why this happened, I don't know. I wish I knew, but it's as if everything related to recovery has just disappeared.
It can boot into Android no problem and I can connect to it via fastboot, which in my eyes just make this whole thing seem even weirder.
The tablet is running stock rooted Android 4.1.1, bootloader version is, I think - not completely sure, US_epad-10.4.2.15-20120917. I am not sure if that is the right number, so here you go:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When selecting the recovery option it just hangs there until I reboot the tablet.
So far I've tried flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0-JB through fastboot, which finished successfully (at least according to fastboot, anyway) with no errors. But still recovery is nowhere to be found.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem and get recovery back on my Prime ? Or at least factory reset it without recovery ?

If the "bootloader is unlocked" text while booting the tablet is to be believe, yes, the bootloader is unlocked and the tablet is rooted. Recovery worked fine a couple years ago when I was using CM nightlies on it, then it just stopped working out of nowhere sometime after I got the current stock pre-rooted Jellybean rom on it.
I don't know if flashing Jellybean is what triggered this whole problem in the first place or if it's something that happened afterwards.
What really puzzles me though, is how I can flash TWRP through fastboot "successfully", and it just keeps on not working as if nothing happened.

Alright, just flashed recovery, here you go.
Code:

sending 'recovery' (7934 KB)...

Exactly the same input and output as the other times I've tries this, but somehow it got me a working recovery this time around. I've no idea what changed for it to suddenly work, but I guess that's it for this thread.
Thanks for your help !

Nexus 5. Wiped the OS. Need Help.

Hello everyone.
I wanna start this by saying that I'm very new to all this rooting and custom roms.
So I rooted my Nexus 5 and installed multirom and a couple of roms, being the tinkerer that I am, I went to the recovery settings to mess with it, and I wiped the phone clean by mistake. Everything gone, even the OS.
Now I have no idea how to fix it, any help will be appreciated.

Boot into TWRP recovery and connect to your PC. Download a ROM from your development forums to your PC. You should see your nexus 5 internal storage listed on your PC. Drag and drop the ROM from PC to your internal storage. Flash ROM with TWRP, profit.

When I choose Recovery Mode in the bootloader, I just get a black screen and it stays that way!
I don't know how you managed to wipe the recovery but here is how to fix it:
Download TWRP for nexus 5
Boot into bootloader, connect to pc and:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
if that doesnt work do this:
fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img

Make sure you have the TWRP.IMG somewhere where fastboot can find it, ie in your platform-tools folder. Open command prompt there by holding shift and right clicking in that location. Select open command window here. Then type: fastboot flash recovery (name of)recovery.img
I suggest renaming the TWRP IMG to either recovery.img or TWRP.img , remember, Windows will automatically add the extension so only rename it TWRP or recovery. Otherwise, you'll end up with a file named recovery.img.img
Then after renaming, you'd type:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img or if renamed to recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

My OneplusX bootloops!

Hey guys. Hope the new year will find you jolly!
So, here is my problem. My OneplusX which runs with SultanXDA's Cyanogenmod 13 with TWRP (Sultan-TWRP-onyx-3.0.2-3_2016-10-23).
I cannot make it boot since whenever I press the button to start, it shows the screen (check below) for approximately half a second, it vibrates for a tiny moment and then shuts dows and starts again and does the same thing in a loop.
The only way for me to stop this loop is unplug the battery from the phone's motherboard.
I cannot boot into TWRP and all I can do is boot into fastboot mode. I get the device recognised with fastboot devices, but that doesn't work, too, since it reports that the phone is locked.
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices
64875585 fastboot
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.487s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)
finished. total time: 0.490s
Ultimately, if it's not possible to make it work again, I would like to manage to pull some files from there, like images etc if that would be possible.

I had same problem once all I could do was reboot fastboot but since the bootloader was locked but luckily I found this thread https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-x.417648/ on oneplus forums this really helped hope this will help you
So, I will not try to use the Mega Unbrick guide yet since it deletes every user data and I will keep that as a backup solution.
I tried using the Skipsoft Android Toolkit in order to unlock bootloader etc, but so far nothing has worked.
The weird thing is that it reports the bootloader locked (even though it shouldn't be since there was already TWRP on it), but by the time that I try to unlock it, it says it's unlocked, tries automatically to get back to normal boot and at that time, we start bootlooping again.
Here's the Skipsoft Android Toolkit report:
Are you ready to start? Type y[yes] or n[no]:y
Device mode detected: Fastboot Mode
Device Serial Number: 64875585
Checking bootloader state..
Device bootloader state is: Locked
Do you want to unlock the bootloader? Type y[yes] or n[no]:y
When prompted, Press the Volume Up/Down button to select Yes on the screen, then
press the Power button to Unlock the Bootloader. If it is already unlocked this
will just be skipped and your device will not be wiped.
Sending oem unlock command to device..
Device bootloader is already unlocked so no data will be wiped

You can try to reflash a TWRP on it. And then boot on it.

Yep, did that, all executed fine and situation changed from boot-loop into stuck at boot. Still only possibility is to get into fastboot.
Edit: Managed to get into recovery and sideload the original ROM there. Back on track

Lucky you. There was no way for me to get to recovery. Something was wrong there.
The only thing that really worked in the end was the Mega Unbrick Guide. I've got my phone back on track and working.

Unable to install TWRP on the 4x Mido

hey so, as the title says, i'm currently unable to install the recovery on my phone and have been trying for the past 3 hours or so now :/
Phone's unlocked, adb and fastboot are working ecc.
but whenever i try to flash the TWRP recovery or even boot it i get the FAILED (remote: 'size too large') error and idk what to do about it.
It worked weirdly with the nikel recovery but even then it installed badly and wouldnt let me flash mido roms for whatever reason and yes im 100% sure my phone is a 4x with a snapdragon.
Thanks to anyone that replies and tries to help

So, downloaded the ADB and Fastboot tools, downloaded TWRP, went to the CMD and changed the directory to the adb.
From here i just used the adb reboot bootloader command to get into the fastboot.
Next i used the fastboot flash recovery x.img command to try to flash it but didnt work simply giving me a "FAILED (remote: 'size too large')" on the last part.
I even tried the fastboot boot x.img command.
Also yes when i said flashboot prieviously i meant fastboot mb

Which rom are you using currently? If it is android nougat based then read below, if higher the commands are a bit different I guess,
That is the same way i did it but it might be cause you are flashing wrong recovery.
Try this one :-

Let me know if it works.

Question Fastboot loop, can't seem to find the right thing to flash

Hi, so I successfully installed TWRP from here, everything went well until this point. I flashed a more stable EU rom and then tried to flash Magisk, but when I rebooted it just went to fastboot mode.
Now everytime I try to turn it off or go back into TWRP it just goes to fastboot mode.
I have tried to flash using MiFlash but I can't seem to get the right thing to flash apparently.
When trying to reinstall TWRP

Try firstly erasing your recovery partition with fastboot erase recovery
Somehow I have managed to fix it on my own, thank you for your response regardless @akins0405 @SubwayChamp.
Here's how I fixed it for the people wanting to know:
I flashed boot.img via fastboot, I have no clue if it had effect on what I did afterwards but I think it might.
I moved the folder of all the files to my main C:\ directory, and then tried to flash using MiFlash and it worked.
I'm trilled to have it back in a ''working'' state
