Hi All,
I just formatted my device using MTTY but I forgot to copy over the firmware! My problem is now I can't access the device via my PC to copy over the firmware. My PC does not recognize the phone as storage in trigger mode and my phone cannot boot into anything as it has no firmware. Is there a way in which I can access the storage of the device so I can copy over the firmware and flash my phone?
Thanks!

Try flashing from your computer - press volume down button and then press start button, that should get you in the BootLoader mode (Tri-color)..plug in your usb and flash the rom.

Go to my Sig, use Custom RUU, in radio pos, to flash th NBH
Hi guys,
Well basically, I've been a massive idiot and somehow my HTC Desire is now non-responsive. I am running the Oxygen rom from a nandroid backup that I had done previously but now i am unable to access recovery at all. The phone does power on. I do the usual power + back button hold to get into the bootloader then recovery and do the usual ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but all I get in response is this now:
mac:~ Dan$ ./recovery-mac.sh
Desire Recovery Mode
Pushing required files to device...
Password:
error: device not found
error: device not found
mac:~ Dan$ error: device not found
I can access the MicroSD card through a computer but the phone won't recognize there is one. WiFi works (but can't download anything from market), radio doesn't as no signal and of course 3G is out of the question.
Is there a solution to my problem?!
From a person in dying need.
EDIT:
Since trying to work this out I have reformatted the microSD card and replaced its contents afterwards, still to no avail.
Try to flash stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Be careful to select the appropriate RUU.
Turn your phone in fastboot (back + power) and run the exe file. You very probably might need a goldcard. Search the forum for that. Good luck !
you're going to have to talk me through this (step by step) like i'm an idiot please paul! i've downloaded the appropriate RUU but i'm not sure how to apply it. help?

Start your phone in fastboot --> Hold Back button + press power
You should get a menu which has as title FASTBOOT.
Connect your phone to your PC and then run the exe file. You must have HTC Sync installed.
If this fails try making a goldcard. You can find a tutorial here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
the computer won't recognise the phone paul. am going to have to try and make a goldcard i guess. :/
okay i am completely stuck. i have previously made a goldcard but this is just ridiculous now. my sdcard contains the clockwork mod folder so why can't i boot into recovery, what is going wrong with it? if i boot up i'm stuck on the oxygen rom, cant install anything as wifi wont download stuff as sd card isnt recognized (tell me why?), have sporadic signal, no 3g whatsoever.
can someone please explain step by step how to get recovery working again.
bumpbumpbump
So whats your current status?
Your Desire boots into ROM, but doesnt work well.
You cannot but into recovery.
You made a gold card.
Flashing a RUU didnt work.
Your SD is not recognized by the phone or by PC? Is it the goldcard you made?
Correct?
i haven't been able to make a goldcard, i have one previously that i cannot find.
the desire boots into the oxygen rom, ver. 2.0.3 but will not recognise the sd card inserted and wont connect to a mac or computer and show up as a device. i cannot boot into recovery at all as i just get device not found.
confused?

yes ^^
Do you only use Mac or have you access to a pc, too?
If you can get your phone into USB Debugging mode, you can try to flash a brand new recovery via fastboot command.
Maybe your rom got corrupted somehow.
If neither of this works, you should try another sd card I guess.
how do you use the fastboot command?
i have used the ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but whats this fastboot command and where can i get it?
EDIT:
I now have fastboot but whenever i try the command ./fastboot-mac flash recovery.img it ends up saying permission denied. is this because i am S-ON?

Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim
If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

The ruu doesn't work because it's an OTA ....its just an update file ! Not the whole RUU
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
this is the full RUU
Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.
Do not put it on your sdcard.
Plug your phone into PC
Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.
Press power button to go to fastboot
Open a cmd window and run fastboot oem lock to relock your bootloader
Run your ruu as administrator on your PC by right clicking and pressing open as administrator
Follow the instructions on your PC to flash the ruu

Thanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble :s
I connect my phone to my pc via USB when I am looking at these options on my screen:
- HBOOT
- REBOOT
- REBOOT BOOTLOADER
- POWER DOWN
When I type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd, I get the following response:
" 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file ".
And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

I installed Windows to do this (Nothing worked on Mac, and things like this are usually easier on Windows than on Mac), and I forgot to install these things again.
I'll try this in a sec and I'll report here when I'm done.

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"
Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...
Regards,
Pim
Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
So the stock recovery should be 1.29 based

I used the same RUU I used before, but this time with relocked bootloader (forgot to relock that again), this time it worked!
I'm currently updating to Jelly Bean, and then I'll root it again etc. If I'm right, S-OFF is possible for the One X these days, right?
If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?
Regards,
Pim
Noone figured out the way to S-off for HOX yet, no.

Hi everyone! I have a real problem with my phone. I tried to update the OS of the EMUI and Android from the server and the system crashed and i don´t know why!!! It force me to try to update and when it try connect to server, the phone shows it can´t connect to server. Someone have the ROM for the chinese market version of the Huawei Honor 8 (FRD-AL10) please!!! I looked in YouTube and the only way to update it reinstall the firmware, i founded one but it´s not working good at all (don´t show the keyword for example).
I downloaded this ROM to the SD card and force to update EMUI by the SD.
If someone can explain me another way for update the phone or the firmware, please tell me!!! Thank you!!!
I believe you can find your firmware version here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/stock-rom-frd-t3459293

You can extract the UPDATE.APP from the zip file and create a dload folder with the UPDATE.APP in it and copy it to the SD card. I believe your recovery is stock so power off your phone, power on the phone while holding VOL+ & VOL-. You will see emui recovery and it will install the UPDATE.APP from the SD card. Once finish just reboot your phone.
if you have TWRP install, you may have to flash the phone with the original recovery image first. Extract the required "RECOVERY.img" from an original "UPDATE.APP" file using the Huawei Update Extractor and then flash it using fastboot:
Enable developer mode and connect via USB
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
Reboot
Then, created a "dload" folder on your SD card and placed the original "UPDATE.APP" inside. Unplug USB (important!) and reboot while holding Vol+ & Vol-. This should install the original firmware from your SD card. You will lose all your data!
Finally, you can lock your bootloader:
Enable developer mode and connect via USB
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem relock <YourPersonalUnlockCodeHere>
Reboot

Thank you very much for your response, I will review this information this weekend and see if it works for me.
Dear, try to run the update by the process of volume up and down to take from the SD but it was impossible, I still throw the error.
I wanted to ask if you know how to unlock the bootloader to be able to do it by ADB and watch videos on YouTube and try different bootloader unlocking processes but did not serve.

Did you get your unlock from Huawei website? If not then register an account here
Once you're registered, login to your account and go to this site and click on unlock. scroll down and tick the agreement and click next.
Insert all the required details and proceed. you will get your unlock code. Save the code and keep it incase your need to relock your bootloader.
make sure you have enable USB debugging and enable oem unlock, then connect your phone to PC. In Adb type adb reboot bootloader to boot to fastboot mode. when in fastboot mode in adb type fastboot oem unlock *unlock code*
My problem is that I can not start the S. O, this with fail and I can not do the OEM authorization from it, if not already had it unlocked easier from the same android entering the code that I have.
I need to know if there is any way to unlock the bootloader to be able to enter the code ADB, the problem is that when you login to bootloader is locked, I need to find the way to unblock it without having to enable the debugger and OEM that I'm not Being able to enable it because the system does not work.
Since without this I am seeing that the ADB does not start me. It throws me error when running the FastBoot
Good Day, first time posting so here is the huge problem i have.
1 - My power button no longer works
2 - No ROM installed
3 - Vol buttons work
So due to an error on my part i wiped my system , data, delv/cache , and because i was rushing i rebooted the phone before installing the new rom. Now normally i would just boot into recovery and flash a rom, but my power button no longer works. I can get into download mode if the phone dies by holding vol down and plugging into a pc, and such can use fastboot commands, but with no Rom i cant get USB debugging to use "adb reboot recovery" . Is there anyway that i can get into recovery or a way to flash stock recovery, system and such. thanks in advance.

No you don't need to lock bl. Or need stock recovery, That's outdated info.
Sure:
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.

Absolutely. Are you soff or son?

That's "SuperCID" and iirc you need soff to achieve, I have it as well set to that. It allows you to flash any ruu to your device.

Dang yea I think you did f need the vol for SD method... Shoot.
But you don't need to lock bl..
That's not correct line: you need to be in rebootRUU mode.
I'm just gunna copy and paste this from vzw thread, applies to all.
"Option 1
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
