[SOLVED] Please Help! Android bricked and no recovery boot either!

dogasantos · Jun 23, 2014

Hi folks,
i Have a HTC ONE with this configurations:
ROM: ANDROID REVOLUTION HD
HBOOT: 1.55 S-ON
Recovery: TWRP

When i start my device and android is starting, i get an message about System process isn't running. Yes, my android is completely dead.
So the logic thing to do is start in recovery TWRP and restore the last backup, right? Well... When I boot with hboot and press to enter on recovery mode...
I get the HTC logo and the "entering recovery" screen forever. Recovery TWRP is completely dead too.

Using adb i can start a shell, view all my files on the device, perform any task.

The fastboot.exe boot recovery.img freezes the device and flash recovery doesnt work too.
Flash the rom doent work too.

Anyone knows what can I do?

thanks!

UPDATE: The solution on the last post was: RUU.

[*]what version of twrp are you using?
A: A recovery.log from last backup (2013) shows TWRP 2.6.3.3.
[*]what version of arhd?
A: ARHD 40.3 (android 4.4 + sense 5.5 + htc sdk api 5.65)
[*]what you did before the phone bricked?
A: A TWRP reset to default
[*]if you fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot-bootloader, are you able to boot in recovery mode?
A: reboot-bootloader get me to the fastboot and when i hit the recovery i get stuck on "entering recovery" screen forever.

As I mentioned above, i have a TWRP backup with this files:

boot.emmc.win
data.ext4.win
recovery.emmc
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win001

I see this as 2 problems, (1) android doesnt boot anymore due to system process failure and (2) recovery partition/firmware is corrupted somehow.
I really dont know what to do, I spent the last 12 hours looking for directions here and over internet but nothing works. What you think i can do?

Thanks for your help @alray.

just want to be sure:
in bootloader mode (fastboot) you did the following:

Code:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then you tried to boot the recovery and it still doesnt work?

try to download the recovery again from here
make sure md5 match: 72067aefb69541d40e8420d7aa46408d

Code:

then
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

and try to boot in recovery again
post a screenshot if you get any error

Thanks for your reply on this thread!! I really appreciated all your help!!

LOL, yes, sorry.
i updated the previous post with the correct information (re-unlock with htc unlock)!
I try this step (relock) between your messages, but nothing new.

All sequence is OK, but i got the same freezing screen :crying:

strange, maybe you could try with CWM recovery.

flash cwm recovery the same way you just did for twrp and see if it boot. don't forget to "fastboot erase cache" and "fastboot reboot-bootloader" before attempting to boot the recovery.

try this recovery just in case: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407590873

there is a way to format the recovery (raw) partition?
Maybe this could fix some corrupted data (if flashing new recovery doesn't do that)

What about trying RRU? I found this link
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
But the mirror is TOO SLOW down here, will take hours to download this file.

yes in theroy the ruu should do the job, but many users reported that ruu isn't working properly, anyway give it a try. htc1guru.com is sometime slow because too much traffic. Try to restart the download, sometime you can get a good/fast connection. make sure md5 match 9ad4111ce86981e3dffcce6d9ee80551

you can also download the ruu from here: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
