Hi, i'm trying to flash by using fastboot with command prompt. I can't flash anything by useing the recovery option in hboot because it keeps taking me back to the hboot menu.
Right. I extracted the rom.zip from the RUU Rom "testruu" which went okay, it has all the images, includeing the recovery image to get it working again. but when i type in "fastboot -p (serial number) update rom.zip" which the rom.zip is located in the sdk tools folder. it comes up with the error
"Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry failed
error: failed to access zipdata in "MS-DOS symbols.........."
Any ideas? i tried flashing other rom's but they don't contain the "android-info.txt" within the image zip package.....
Please help because my phone is 100% dead with no recovery working and stuck at the htc logo screen.
so no one knows how to flash in fastboot? well great.
Enter fastboot then plug Desire to your computer and run official RRU (*.exe file)
That should help
Cheers

Hi i've messed up in partition menu in recovery and as a result my phone boots in fastboot, from fastboot i can get to bootloader only cant get to recovery because it stops on htc screen. Ive always used custom recovery to change roms because ive got hboot 0.83.0001 and my mobile always stopped on htc screen every time i tried to fire up recovery using power button + down.
I used android sdk and find out that only fastboot commands work ie can see my device number (when I use fastboot devices command it gives me HT07PPL01815 fastboot). I've tried to restore android backup using fastboot flash system, fastboot flash boot, fastboot flash recovery but it gives me
sending boot <2560 kb> .....okay [0.401s]
writing "boot"......INFOsignature checking....
failed <remote signature verify fail>
My boot image is missing as well, is there anybody how can help me what to do?
You can of course not flash your backup using a s-on hboot as it only allow files signed by HTC.
If I were you I would flash a stock Rom, which can be done via fastboot. Then just reroot afterwards
I have used RUU for SLCD screens and it helped
Clockworkmod recovery doesn't work(only get a blank screen after I make my selection), and my phone wont boot. I'm trying to flash a rom via fastboot or adb.
I installed fastboot and adb using this guide:
fastboot adb guide
I downloaded htc sync to install the drivers.
I'm trying to follow this guide for flashing a new rom
xda flashing guide
when i try "fastboot -w" the command prompt returns "erasing 'userdata'... FAILED <remote: not allowed>"
it seems the sollution for this is posted here. but i don't know how to flash an hboot. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been searching and all i could find was fastboot commander, but when I try to flash a new Hboot or my recovery image it returns "flash FAILURE"

In clockwork use the trackball to select items, not the power button.
To use most fastboot commands you need an unlocked bootloader, or the engineering bootloader. To chanhe your bootloader you need to be s-off, or do an entire ruu.

Wasn't using the trackball. This is embarrassing. Thanks for all the helpful info, you're awesome.

wow this is funny, but sadly it helped me also
In case you'd still like to know how to do it via fastboot, here are some steps:
Place the .zip in the same directory as the adb and fastboot executables
Double check the md5 of the .zip before proceeding to prevent bricking the device
Run the following commands in command prompt:
fastboot devices //Verify that the device is detected
fastboot erase cache //Not sure if this is completely necessary, but the guide I followed included it as a step
fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.
fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing
fastboot reboot-bootloader //The guide I pulled this info from didn't specifically say that you should reboot to bootloader rather than to Android, but I have seen others mention that you should always reboot to the bootloader first after flashing an HBOOT or radio. I would do this just in case
thehiggins you saved the day
Thanks You
Didn't know I had to be in RUU. When do I need to be in RUU, when flashing the boot or any boot related img/zip ?
long story short I wiped internal storage loosing my backup while trying to install carbon rom. carbon rom zip will not install. ive tried downloading other custom roms and pushing it through adb in recovery but the zip for the custom roms will not install because I keep getting the error 'error executing updater binary in zip'
any help would be much appreciated

Look for and download an M7 RUU that is equal to or older than your build #, not a custom rom
Name it ruu.zip
Place it in your android fastboot/adb folder
start dos windows in the adb folder
put phone in fastboot mode
type: fastboot oemRUU
type: fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
it will end quickly
type again: fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
it should run thru item # 100 then finish
type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
reboot that thang and it ought to be good if you used the correct ruu

TWRP recovery request fastboot command
I tried to flash twrp.img on my Zenfone 2 ver 2.17.40.12 (rooted). I guess there was a version mismatch, because I ended up with the screen saying "Fastboot cmd waiting". I am allowed to power down and normal boot, which work, but options "recovery mode" and "restart bootloader" return me back to the same screen saying Fastboot cmd waiting.
I tried to do a factory reset, but I got the same screen and nothing else. I downloaded ZIP file with the correctoriginal recovery for my version and tried to use fastboot command update, but it failed with message saying that archive does not contain android-info.txt and neither android-product.txt.
I will appreciate your advice to resolve my problem.
Well, fastboot is showing error because you're trying to flash ZIP file for the recovery mode(like TWRP) that doesn't have compatibility with fastboot mode.
You have to flash the .img file for your zenfone2(Z00A or Z008) with the command below.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And also, model number(Z00A or Z008) is shown on the screen when booting in fastboot mode.
i think i've ****ed up my zenfone 2.
i can only go to fastboot and i can flash boot.img , droidboot.img and recovery.img
but i can't flash system.img (it says error: cannot load 'system.img') and everytime i try to go to recovery , it just freeze on asus logo and that's it.
i can't flash asus zip file (from asus site) because the size of the file is too large and i receive error.
i was using a custom rom and decided to return to stock.
how can i fix my phone?
Your system.img is corrupted somehow, if you are using shakalaca's img just delete the current one in your folder and unzip like you did before, that worked for me after the same thing happened to me while flashing.
okay.i have some good news (for myself )
i can now get into Recovery mode.it's stock recovery with and android robot in it and saying "installing System Update"
but after a few seconds it says error and that's it.
i use "adb devices" but there's no device connected.same for "fastboot devices"
now what should i do?
p.s : i get error everytime i want to "fastboot flash system system.img" and everytime i use "fastboot -w".for flashing system it gives the "error: cannot load 'system.img'" and for -w it says "FAILED (remote: flash_cmds error! )"
edit: now i have TWRP recovery.it's the UN-Tethered one.so i don't think i can install stock rom.right?
what should i do if i want to install stock rom?
edit 2:finally.i installed a custom rom for now.everything is ok.the phone is up and running.
but now i want to return to stock rom.how?
