Desire/Bravo bootloader/fastboot - Desire General

I was wondering if anyone has already posted or knows about the bootloader/fastboot in the Desires?
Holding VolumeDown+Power enters the HBOOT mode :-
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Selecting FASTBOOT enters the FASTBOOT mode :-
FASTBOOT
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But what does RECOVERY/CLEAR STORAGE/SIMLOCK do?
And are there any other key combos?

recovery takes you into the recovery image (What you got to on the hero with Home + Power)
Simlock gives you the ability to modify the simlock status of the phone if you have the necessary software loaded on a card, or at least that's what it suggests from the text that comes up when you select it.

How long does the recovery take? I managed to seriously **** up my phone today. I got the message "com.htc.launcher has stopped working and needs to be shut down", or something like that.
I pressed the home, ok and back button at startup to enter the bootloader.

HTC One X - Can't go to recovery

Hello!
I have a HTC One X (EU-version), and it's unlocked.
I used to have Android Revolution HD ROM installed, and would try a new kernel. So I downloaded the new faux kernel (faux_004b5_arhd_7.0.0_modified.img)
Somehow it didn't work, and my phone keep restarting. So I go to the recovery mode, and tried to reinstall the ROM, without whip.
After that I made a reboot, my phone keep reboot. Now I can't go to the recovery mode, either can I flash my device.
I really don't know what to do now.
I hope someone can help, and I posted in the right section.

I had that problem before too. If the "hold power button for 10 seconds then press volume down and power buttons simultaneously" doesn't work, download Quick Boot from playstore and it would allow you to choose to either Reboot, boot to recovery, or the bootloader
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
trick is to run 'adb reboot bootloader' or 'adb reboot recovery'.

When I hold the power button and volume down for 10 secounds, I come to the fastboot menu.
How can I download Quick Boot, when I don't have acces to my memory. I can't see what I have on my memorycard (obs. because I can't go to the recovery part), either can't connect to the computer, since I'm in a bootloop.
I'm afraid while I was doing this stuff, my battery was low. But it didn't die under the process.
Tyvm for the reply, but I can't install the quick boot.

Can you please explain more?
My Skype is: Dichatz, if a awesome soul could help me there, it would be the greatest thing ever. I'm afraid of that my HTC One X has seen the daylight for the last time
Ty both for the reply.
EDIT: I followed my friends advise, and tried to erase fastboot cache, which seems not able do to. I just getting the message: < waiting for device >.
Dear God, what have I done with my phone!
Dear OP, I believe there is a solution. This situation has occurred with my device more than once. I too believed I had lost it until it resolved itself. There are several things you can do to ensure it works again. I wiped the ROM on my phone before the problem began, so I was stuck with a dead phone until I found a way to get recovery to work again. If it's possible, enter Fastboot and install a new kernel onto it, and THEN use fastboot erase cache. If that is not a viable option, make sure the USB wire is not plugged in when the device boots. By this I mean holding down the lower volume button and initializing the menu that allows you to select Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset and other command options. Once the device boots into the menu, you may then plug in the cable and enter Fastboot mode. If none of the above work, let the battery deplete itself until device turns off. Once you have done that, plug it into the wall charger, and then volume down and power up. If the device says something like "reading SD card", disconnect the USB and the menu will fully load. That is when you select Fastboot. Keep the device on, plug it into the pc and send your kernel commands to your device. Ensure that you also erase the cache via Fastboot. Your device should now be fully operational. I hope I was able to help.
Have found myself in a similar position, all the following assumes you're using windows as you desktop OS...
To double check your recovery is broken, get into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down), use volume down to highlight "hboot" then press the power button to select. Then press volume down to highlight "recovery" and press power button to select. If that works, then recovery is fine, just go ahead as you normally would to recover the system.
If you can't get into recovery then you have a slight problem.
Since you can get the device into fastboot mode, the priority is to get it to talk to your PC. Get the device into fastboot (power on while holding the volume down button). Once you're into fastboot, plug in the USB cable and verify the connection to your device using the following command :
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show you a single entry for your device. If it doesn't show anything, then unplug the device, download the naked driver pack (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161769) and unpack it into a sensible location. Plug the device back in, if it can't install software automatically or nothing appears you may have to use device manager to update the driver for the device. Find its entry in the device tree (it will probably be listed as an unknown device), RMB on its entry in device tree then select "Update Driver Software..." from the menu that appears, tell it to search automatically then point it at the location where you unpacked the naked driver pack. That should sort out any misconceptions windows has about not being able to talk to the phone.
Once you have fastboot access, you can reflash clockworkmod. You can obtain the latest version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
flash from fastboot using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Once flashed, unplug the usb cable.
Use the volume up and down to highlight "hboot" on the fastboot menu, then press the power button to select. Once in the hboot menu, scroll to the "recovery" menu item and press power again to select. You should find yourself in familiar territory at this point.
hth
EDIT : Sorry, it's nearly 2am here, I'm very tired and I've just re-read your initial post. If you've flashed a custom kernel then you MUST have fastboot access (or it's subsequently broken). Download your ROM (if you haven't already got a copy on your PC) and extract boot.img from it. Get into fastboot mode (vol down + power on) and plug into your PC. Do the following :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Unplug USB cable, use vol up/ down to highlight "REBOOT" then press power to select.If you get stuck in a bootloop, you can try going into recovery via fastboot (select "hboot" from the fastboot menu then "recovery" from the hboot menu), then select "erase cache", then go to "advanced" and "wipe dalvik cache". Then go back and reboot the device. See if that helps. If not, then go back to recovery using the aforementioned method and re-install your rom, then erase cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks for replies.

Yes, I was dumb, started at low battery level, even tho, everywhere says: Make sure you have more than 70 %.
I can't wipe, or install anything, since it's recovery mode that doesn't work
Atm., I charge my phone, because I need to have 10 %, I use "Stuck in fastboot with low battery. Use this BATCH file!" guide. So far it works.

Thank you very much for your answer!!! I read this this guide: 9/6 Mandatory Update Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0.
If that doesn't work, I will take closer look at your reply. No matter what, thank you very very very very much. I'm sure that reply will help some soul outthere (if not me, if it fail).
Thank you guys. You are the best. I will be right back here if I find a solution!
Tip: try 'Quick Boot' available on Google Playstore, it's a payed app but
it let you go straight into recovery mode.

I could't turn my device on, so I could't install any programs.
Anyway, after 6 hours work, I finally got it.
I use that guide ^, so I could charge my phone to 10%, and installed new Kernel.
Thank you guys, for quick replies!
My apologies, I wasn't reading your first post properly.
Anyway congrats you have it working again.

Hey, I am having similar problem with my htc one x here. I did some stupid stuff, tried to install jelly bean and now my device is broken.,
So the thing is, phone is stuck at HTC logo, I cant access recovery mode. And my phone now says tempered and relocked at the top so I cant get it fixed with my carrier which is rogers.
I tried installing RUU for rogers but it says image error and wrong ruu. I can't find the right one and trust me i've searched everywhere.
I can connect my phone to computer and see fastboot usb. But other than that I can't do anything with it.
I tried flashing cwm but it says failed. I'll attach image here with it.
If there is any way to fix it, please help, I just bought this device and I love it, dont wanna lose it.
Also, I read that I can add custom recovery to the phone but without recovery menu I can't do that either.
Thanks!

[HELP] HTC One X - Unable to access recovery or bootloader

So, started going through the process of rooting and installing a custom ROM onto my HOX.
Got the phone rooted and downloaded the ROM, but unintentionally missed the step to install a custom restore e.g. ClockWork.
The issue I have now is that the phone starts up gets to the HTC One screen and sits there indefinitely.
So my issue is - I am unable to access either recovery or the bootloader to enter fastboot and clear the cache or start the process fresh and avoid this situation in the future.
Any help on the matter or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Switch phone off, then hold vol down button in and switch on (keep vol down pressed) you should then boot into bootloader mode and can flash recovery.img from there

while on the white HTC ONE screen, plug the USB to computer, try to ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER or ADB REBOOT RECOVERY. That is IF the ADB can still detect your device, but I doubt that it couldn't.

[UNBRICK] white screen & waiting for device

HI all,
I've asked this question on the firmware thread, but I do not have an answer. So I'm trying here.
I installed the new firmware without any problems. But after the reboot I'm stuck on the white screen with the green logo, and I do not have connection with the computer via fastboot (waiting for device). As against the phone is communicating with the computer by HTC Sync or Windows Explorer.
What can I do?
Thanks

How did you install the firmware?
Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader?
thanks clsA
For mike's method (re-lock the bootloader and fastboot) :
1.If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
2.If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
3.Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
4.Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
5.Open command prompt
6.Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
7.Connect device to the PC
8.In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
9.Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
10.Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
11.Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
12.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
13.Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
14.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
15.Type: fastboot reboot
Currently I have no access to the bootloader
Although the phone is stuck on the white screen it rings when they call me
Turn off the phone holding power button for almost 15seconds till completely shut down. Then hold volume down and power button. You'll be able to enter boot loader. Also provide more details...version firmware, rom, etc
Are you flash a fw twice ?
Try to unlock bootloader and recovery again brother

Yes, twice. And it was ok. I do not have access to the bootloader
You don't provide enough details. But for me it seems like you flash firmware with stock recovery and if you have custom Rom the phone won't boot. Are you sure you are shutting down the phone properly? Then hold volume down for a second. Then WITHOUT release the volume button hold down power WITHOUT release anything till I boot to boot loader?
The phone vibrates once and nothing happens. Still the white screen.
hold power + vol up....if the phone reboots...hold vol down...

the trick is to completely power down your device, then Hold down the volume up button (or down perhaps. i don't remember exactly) and then plug in the usb cable at the same time.. I figured it out when i was trying to root my device a few months ago and completely messed it up before using the lg pc bridge to recover it again

No. Locked bootloader doesn't screw you. It's able to boot into bootloader/fastboot mode even if it's been locked.
-power on device presing (vol- & power) until logo image appear, release and press again power key by the second
-format device screen apper.. chose : format yes , confirm
-just appear android image formating.. press the 3 key alternatively
-then enter to stock recovery ; and u can chose fastboot or sideloader mode
* i dont know the exactly combination key press. but u must try a couple intents..

It might be easy in MTK but not in Qualcomm lol. We even tried "adb reboot recovery". It just shows a dead android symbol. But even randomly pressing those buttons doesn't allow us to go into recovery. MTK users have a upper hand lol.

Hi!
I have a LGK10 420DS (m216) MSM8916 Indian version I am unable to boot into bootloader or recovery by using adb / fastboot or by volume and power kay, as you are aware LG is not supporting any software update. I want to flash CustomROM and trying to unlock bootloader with different method but unable to enter in recovery, plz. some one can help out.
volume - whilst pluging usb into computer = fastboot mode
volume + whilst plugging = download mode
this works in new models, tested in a lg aristo 2

Bootloop even when in recovery mode

Hi guys,
I have a nexus 7 2013 which boot loop (or any watchdog restart ?).
If I try to normal start this one, I will get the Google logo for few seconds, then it will restart on its own.
If i press the volume down during this process, I can boot to bootloader, but same way, after few second, device will restart.
Any clue on what can be wrong ?
Thanks

Hello, connect external power and try again. If it works now, you will have to replace the battery.
If it does not work with external power and it can not stop in bootloader/fastboot mode, then the hardware is faulty or the bootloader is corrupt.
External power does not change anything. Still boot loop, so really should be a hardware issue.
If I keep volume up key pressed, it boots, but almost unusable if I have to continuously press the volume up key.
Same when in bootloader: if I continuously press the volume up key, it does not reboot.
I've tried to erase everything with fastboot, but cannot do most of the operation. When trying to format data, it says that partition does not exists (it exists, as it can boot !)
Bootloader is locked, so cannot go with TWRP for example, as I cannot validate the on screen confirmation needed to oem unlock.
Do you know any way to unlock bootloader without use of onscreen confirmation ?
I don't know if that would help, but when I was installing Lineage OS and updated TWRP, I also boot looped once on recovery (recovery itself was boot-looping), and re-downloading (from another browser) and re-installing recovery at fastboot mode fixed my issue.
I cannot unlock the bootloader because of this issue, so cannot flash anything
Could be broken power button, if it is stuck and pressing it continuously.
Are you able to reach your recovery to factory reset?
I mean can you reach it from the bootloader menu?
If not you could try to put twrp.img or recovery.img into your PC adb&fastboot folder and try
fastboot boot twrp.img
or
fastboot boot recovery.img
Don't know if this works with locked bl
Edit: may type
fastboot getvar all
and post your result, hide your imei if you got one
