[Q] Can't access recovery mode - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After un-rooting my phone, I can't access my recovery mode from boot (gives me the phone's red no-go sign); nor the simple recovery version from the security settings (it's not there at all). The only thing I've been able to do is install updates from HTC Sync. I have a nandroid backup I want to apply so my questions are....
Is there any way to fix not having the recovery option?
Is there any way to re flash the whole phone back to complete factory settings?
Is there any way to install the nandroid backup without needing recovery?
If theres a question here I didn't ask that you think might help me as well I'd appreciate the knowledge base. Halp! This really sucks.

Did you try booting into recovery by powering off, and holding home and end call?

Yeah. It just gives me the screen with a phone icon and the red no-go icon.

Oh, just saw you're not rooted... you need to be rooted to have a recovery
Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!

Ahh well that makes all the sense in the world I was hoping someone would tell me some on brainer info like that lol I just have had it rooted for so long I didn't even remember that was a factor.
Thanks a ton! Very helpful

Need Help Urgently!

I rooted my Sprint Hero and installed MoDaCos rom and then tried to install the "Red Is Dead" theme. Now I'm in a boot loop. It gets to the Hero screen on boot up and then starts over with the Sprint animation. I did a Nandroid back up. So now I need help to get my phone back. URGENTLY! Thanks.

Boot to your recovery.
if your nandroid backup is not on your sd card, put it there by
plug into pc and and turn on usb mode
copy nandroid backup to the root of sd card
unmount and turn off usb mode
choose nandroid restore
and it should restore. good luck
Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't even get that far. It never boots. Just keeps going from Sprint flashy thing to Hero wavy bots screen and back.

turn phone off hold home and hit the pwer button from if you got the recovery in there you can do what esoteric1311 said
I don't get recovery. I get the clear storage screen. The one with the scateboarding androids.
then put the stock rom on it
Bear with me, this is my first Android. How can I put the stock rom on it from this screen? I have the nandroid back up in the sd card, and my comp.
Come on, guys. Can anybody think of anything?

First take a deep breath. Now while you're phone is off press and HOLD the Home key then press the Power key while STILL holding Home. This will bring you to the recovery screen.
hold volume down, and hit red power button
when the skateboarding android comes up, push the home button
then follow the nandroid restore.. etc.
White screen with scateboarding droids. "CLEARSTORAGE"
"Delete all user data?"
<ACTION> Yes
<SEND> No
Above that is my phone info. That's what I get when I do Home then Power? Where do I go from there?
not power home.
volume down + power
then home when the skateboarding androids come up
btw.. where did you get that theme from??? what's it supposed to do?

Didn't think it was that complicated or long. It's what worked for me when I needed to do a nandroid restore. The OPs previous post said he was at some other screen instead of the black screen w/ green text to do the nandroid restore. Thats all.
Now restoring latest backup.......................................................................................and so on.Will let you know how it goes.
VICTORY!! YOU GUYS ROCK! Thanks for actualy responding. Most forums I subscribe too I post and people act like they might get N1H1 if they respond. Thank you. Just one more question. How can I tell if MoDaCo's rom restored too?
menu --->setting--> about phone
scroll to build info or something
if your last nandroid was after you did modaco, then its modaco. what i do is backup, move from sd to pc and rename "nandroid (stock)", "nandroid (modaco1.1)", etc..
the only known theme working for modaco that i know of is the clear as a bell...

Your way he is entering to the fast boot screen instead of straight to recovery. It's a completely unnecessary step and makes it even more confusing for people already so confused they trying to put themes that aren't even made for their phone (ie the author of this thread).
It's best to keep things as simple as possible. Not everyone knows what they doing or an expert with Android.

Did you even read anything about the theme before you flashed? Thats a gsm theme. The rom version is not even the same as the cdma version. Well lesson learned I guess. Good luck.

Plz Help! HTC One Stuck On Start Up Screen

I went to install the most recent up date. When it got done installing it started to reboot. It then got stuck on the HTC start up screen. I do not know a whole bunch on phones but did a little research and tried to recover and reboot the phone and neither worked. I would really like to find a fix that does not involve erasing all my data. I have all the pictures of my baby from the past year, from the time that he was born until now, and I would really hate to lose those. Thank you!

Maybe some more information... what ROM, was this a stock OTA? If you have custom recovery and are attempting to flash a custom ROM, then try to reflash...if you have lost your data already or to avoid data loss;try side-loading a ROM...can't tell you much from what I've read, but if you can hold power+ volume down simultaneously for about 15 secs you should end up in recovery, if you installed a custom recovery; e.g.Philz, TWRP, CWM...then you'll pop up there....
It is safe to say that if you don't have any of these custom recoveries then you'll need to use the RUU found in the Dev section....

I am sorry, I am completely stupid when it comes to phone. I know that I have not done any customizations. It is not rooted and would not have a custom ROM, not quite sure what that is. Everything should be stock. So what would I have to do to do the option that you have stated? I apologize for my lack of knowledge.
does your pc recognize the the phone when you plug it in? you could try extracting the data like stated before, but you're not rooted so that'd be a problem. an ruu would be your best bet, even though you'll lose your data. I HIGHLY suggest creating a dropbox and backing up your photos, it has done wonders for me.

It recognizes it to an extent. My computer will ding recognizing that it is plugged in but since it does not go past the start up screen you can't get into the phone storage. I do have a dropbox but with the thousands of pictures on my phone it unfortunately only stored a month or so of pictures. I am not so much worried about the phone, as I have insurance on it and can get it replaced. Just really want the pictures. When looking online I had read something about unlocking the boot menu and downloading a ROM I believe. Do you know anything about that and if it would work for me? Or is that the same thing as the RUU?

Mine gets stuck on boot screen occasionally. Sounds weird but hold the phone drectly up to a light bulb and try to reboot the phone. This works for my particular problem. Not sure why but it does.

Hold power and vol-down together until it reboots into bootloader. Connect to USB and select 'fastboot' on the bootloader menu. That should get you to fastboot. From there, you can HTCDEV unlock the thing (in all likelihood).

Encryption not succesfull

I am trying to encrypt my m7, but somehow it doesnt work. After i started the process, i see this wired android and then the device boots up normally , saying that ecryption was unsuccessful, but i can still use it and no (aparent) data is lost.
My Phone is s-off, with 1.56Hboot and running cm11 nightlies.

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.
Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.
Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.
I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.

Won't boot into recovery

Hello. I have unlocked bootloader successfully (it says "unlocked" at screen and also "tampered"). I have all the fastboot/adb software on my windows pc and can communicate with the phone. I flash recovery via fastboot and it is successful...includes a "recovery" option under bootloader options but it just flashes a disclaimer screen and quickly goes back to bootloader screen. Without custom recovery I cannot root this phone which is my goal. I have tried to reflash other recovery images, including cmw and twrp - I believe cmw is on it now but it won't open.
Hoping someone can assist me with this.
Thank you

Reflash whichever recovery you plan to use then remove the battery and put it back in then hold the volume down button and then press and hold the power button at the same time and the phone should then boot to recovery. Make a backup after so you have something to fall back on just in case.

Are you actually holding both buttons down at the same time until the screen turns on? Don't let them go hold them both down until your screen lights up. Then select recovery but if it doesn't work then try below.
Try flashing this version of twrp https://twrp.me/devices/htcdesire510usa32bit.html ... If you're not in the USA I need to know.
Flashing twrp didn't change anything unfortunately. I recently tried re-locking my bootloader and attempted to flash stock images back to the phone but when I press "yes" to the question about voiding the warranty before unlocking the bootloader again...the disclaimer just flashes and the phone won't let it.
Also, I cannot seem to restore it to stock through the menu...nor the bootloader screen.
So now I have "tampered" and "Relocked" banners on top of bootloader screen.
One the upside, the phone itself works fine (I currently only use it for wifi).
Only thing I can think of is I originally flashed a corrupt recovery img (or incompatible version).
Hoping you or someone else has any ideas as to how to get this thing working again. I'd be happy with reverting completly back to stock and starting the process over..

What service provider are you using?
Don't toss the unlock code you got from HTC you're gonna need the very first one you got keep it forever.
I'm using Boost but I think I figured it out. It ended up being a corrupt download of cmw. I actually used an ruu to get back stock and now the whole process went smoothly. Just looking for a rom that fits...got any recommendations in that area?

Funny enough I never made a backup before and constantly have to re-locate stock images due to soft bricking. I now am making backups so as not to go through that again.
I have a question perhaps you could answer -- if I install a rom that doesn't include any additional tweaks such as extended personaliation options in settings (transitions, etc, etc.)..is there a mod I can flash to achieve that?

For extended personalizing other than developer options, I'd use Xposed.

The USA model because myself and rb don't have the EU phone to even test anything on it.. We still have a lot of booting problems right now. I'd say if you wanted to help I'd have to ask what you know about building roms from source? Have you done it before?
P.S: There's already a CM-12.1 available for the EU model although it does have some issues.. You should read about it if you want to try it..

It's pretty cool and fun once you get the hang of making things and seeing them function right, and the other thing is... You'll need a pretty decent computer to compile/build with and it'll need to have at least 4GB ram (more is better) and about 50 to 100 GB hard drive space for building your rom plus the CM source code needs to be on your system too...

Well how fast is your internet? By the way.. I'm using a Linux operating system... What are you using? It cannot be done on Windows unless you use a VM.
Hey, I also faced this problem but I find the solution and successfully flash twrp

Hello. I have unlocked bootloader successfully (it says "unlocked" at screen and also "tampered"). I have all the fastboot/adb software on my windows pc and can communicate with the phone. I flash recovery via fastboot and it is successful...includes a "recovery" option under bootloader options but it just flashes a disclaimer screen and quickly goes back to bootloader screen. Without custom recovery I cannot root this phone which is my goal. I have tried to reflash other recovery images, including cmw and twrp - I believe cmw is on it now but it won't open.
Hoping someone can assist me with this.
Thank you
