I DID SEARCH, but coudlnt find it
cant get a connection on my windows vista pc to the dash so i am trying to run the official wm6 from the sd-card. so how do i get into the bootloader screen?
thanks!!
edit: and i tried all the different buttons to hold while powering off without success!
so for now i did it the very weird way.
copied nbh and enterbootloader.exe on sd-card and click on enterbootloader.exe. but then i needed to start the updater from pc to get it updating.
works ok but doesnt seem to be the way intended. would like to run it from sd-card only withou the help of a pc, because i got a couple of devices here to update and need the pc for work.
any ideas?

hi !
1) turn off the phone
2)just hold the camera key (while phone is off) and
3)plug the data cable in the phone (while computer on, and cable linkedto it)
4) you're in bootloader mode
enjoy
thanks, that does indeed enter the bootloader.
but now i need the trick how to update it from the sd-card. i copied all files from the extracted xxxship.exe but it only updates with the help from a pc.
maybe i need to rename the nbh file to something different. will try that now.
HI
if U wanna update with SD card,u have to unlock your Excalibur(not to use SDA_applicationUnlock)...And the Rom is different from Ruu...So...give up...Maybe someone work for HTC could help U...

That doesn't work on Gingerbread, GingerBreak should be used instead.
Have you got HTC Sync installed on your computer?
Yes i have the sync app installed, I have tried different usb ports and different computers, nothing helps.
Thx for taking your time to help
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Does you computer even read the phone?
If so, try to open HTC Sync on the computer (and choose the option on the phone), ... , does HTC Sync recognise your phone? (does HTC Sync open up and connect to your phone?)
If it does, make sure you have 'USB Debugging' and 'Charge Only' when doing the commands in the terminal.
If HTC Sync doesnt recognise your phone, try uninstalling it from your PC and reinstalling it again.
You where right, i had to reinstall HTC Sync and try different usb ports till i got Sync work, afterwords I chose only charge and started my terminal, worked like a charm.
Now i cant install an rom i tryed downloading OTA and from XDA pages, when download OTA it stops before it is finished, when i try installing from SD it reboots and stucks with a red triangle with (!).
Anyone who knows what the problem can be?
Thx to everyone who takes time to help others it is really aprietiated.
If the download doesnt finish properly then dont install it, because it will have corrupted/missing files, which will result in the phone not booting.
If you want some ROMs or RUUs, look at andyharneys signature above.
Try downloading from there and after downloading, checking the md5 of the file (on the website) with the file you download - there are many md5 checker programs out there, google it
I have a DINC2 with Froyo 2.2.1 (yes I know. Pitiful) . I utilize a carrier that will not pass through the Gingerbread update so I cannot upgrade via a software update check.
I have downloaded the Gingerbread RUU file (ROM Utility 1.0.3.2011) to upgrade via computer with HTC Sync but at the point of "Verifying Information on your Android Phone. Please wait..." it errors "Error 170: USB Connection Error"
Now USB connection is fine because 1) I can see SDCARD and 2) HTC Sync sees the phone. I also ran the RUU as Administration on a Windows 7 machine.
I know I'm a late bloomer but any help is appreciated. Want to get Gingerbread on so that I can root via Revolutionary.
Appreciate any help!!

The phone's USB connection needs to be set to Charge Only and then make sure that the Fastboot option is turned off in Settings, too. Also make sure that HTC Sync is not running when you start the RUU.
Here's a few options.
when it gives you that error, just try again. if that doesnt work you will need to pull the rom.zip from the RUU on your computer and then rename the "rom.zip" to "PG32IMG.zip" and put it on root of SD card, and turn off phone, hold vol down and power to get to fastboot and install the RUU like this..
now to pull the rom.zip
open the RUU. u dont need to have ur phone plugged in or anything yet, just open the RUU and wait for it to load, once loaded, click start button, and search for "%temp%" and then search through all the folders it should be in one that looks something like this "2CB47C27-73D0-47FE-A17F-4FD3FC062A8A" and you may have to go into a second folder to find it, but ull find it. and pull that rom.zip onto ur desktop. now you can exit the RUU, rename the rom.zip to what I said above, and install like I said above. it's a signed RUU from HTC so you can install it this way. I find it much easier than dealing with the RUU on the computer cos of errors.
Andybones you da man!! I did exactly what you instructed and IT WORKED! The detail in which you described so well was extremley helpful.
I am going to make a few cleanup adjustments before I am going to Root via Revolutionary.
Thank you Again. Thank You Tpbklake for responding as well!
Hey guys,
I tried to root my DHD, but it didn't go as as smooth as I expected and at the moment my DHD won't boot anymore.
First I would like to say I read the manual carefully several times, and I searched for a answer, I found some related problems but they were so different to my problem that I couldn't find any answers in it.
First I ran the AAHK, chose for a downgrade and then I got something like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822347
Except, I got stuck at the HBOOT menu, and nothing happened. When I rebooted my phone, it worked just fine, but it wasn't downgraded.
I tried to repeat this proces a couple of times, but it didn't help.
But then, suddenly, it did work to start downgrading, but in the end it gave an error:
************* Downgrade failed *************
** Either:
** GoldCtixiard/SDCard failed
** USB connections are not working 100%
************* Downgrade failed *************
After my DHD rebooted, and after the HTC screen, it showed red exclamation mark/triangle. It is still like this, and my phone won't boot, but i'm still able to get in HBOOT.
It is somewhat like this, but I know i haven't downgraded.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134318
Some help would be greatly appriciated!
P.S.
I really tried to figure it out myself first, but after searching, reading and searching, I found no good answer. If anyone finds this annoying or offensive in any way, im sorry.
I think your sdcard is corrupted as a goldcard. Try a new one.
I checked the SD card. It reads and writes fine on Mac and PC.
The biggest problem is that i can't connect my DHD (in HBOOT) to AAHK using Mac. AAHK says ''Error detecting HTC phone on USB conncetion''
I also tried factory reset in HBOOT, but it didn't help.
Anyone got an idea?

For the connection, try a Linux LiveCD; I don't know anything about Macs. For the sdcard, whether it is corrupted for use as a goldcard does not affect whether you can access the data on it.
I'm not an expert, but aren't OSX and Ubuntu quite similar, regarding the environment? Nonetheless, I am going to try the Ubuntu LiveCD tomorrow!
Is there another solution so that i'm at least able to boot the phone normally?
Thanks for the help so far.
Run a ruu from bootloader thrall get u back
So you mean I should follow these instructions?

That is the stock recovery. You have on screen instructions that you are apparently not following. That will flash a RUU but first use tacoroot to achive temp root. All that is describe in the Hack Kit session on screen. You won't be able to flash a ruu from hboot unless there's a ruu for your phone and your main version and CID match.
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.....
At the moment i don't have any on screen instructions, because I cant connect my phone to my PC/Mac. AAHK says ''Error detecting HTC phone on USB conncetion''.
I'm trying to find a solution so that i can at least boot my phone again. I know I am new to this, but i'm trying to do my best..
So i cant connect to AAHK, what is the best way to fix this problem?

What is your main version and cid number??
Boot the phone in fastboot usb and then plug it to the pc (you will see fastboot usb in red). Then, in the pc open a cmd as admin and type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Paste here the INFOcidnum and INFOmain data. DO NOT PASTE your IMEI here.

I did just like you said. When I connect to the pc, fastboot usb is in red. I opened cmd as admin, typed, but nothing happened.
I get ( this is translated from Dutch ) :
"fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
When I plugged it in, my pc gave a message about a device being plugged in, but nothing happened after that.
I saved everything that happened in the terminal, when I attempted to root. Would that be of any help?

Do you have adb and fastboot installed? run the hack Kit once and let it install adb and fastboot.
I downloaded the Android SDK, wich I saw includes adb and fastboot
I typed fastboot getvar all, and then the cmd screen says waiting for device...
When I tried this before ( when I hadn't downloaded the android sdk ) nothing at all happened. So something must have changed for the better..
In the AAHK i still get ''phone not plugged in'''( windows )
However, when I boot the phone ( volume down + power ), after a few seconds it says:
PD89DIAG.ZIP
Loading...
No Image!
PD89IMG.ZIP
Loading
No Image! ( Or wrong image .. )
After that it returns to the standard menu..

Hack kit won't work from fastboot. Or your driver is not correctly installed or you have issues with USB connectivity. Uninstall the driver from control panel and then re install it with the device unplugged. Once it is installed, plug,the phone and let it install properly

I can't seem to connect my phone to pc and/or mac
I even installed HTC Sync, but since the phone can't boot, it wont connect to any device using USB.
I know it isn't bricked, I still can get into HBOOT, but it just wont boot, and it won't connect using USB ( at least until now.. )
Is there a way to fix this? Will it fix anything to do a factory reset using a stock rom? ( just guessing )
Would it be helpfull to post everything that happened in the terminal while i was attempting to root? I saved it in a textfile..
Thanks for the help so far.

Yes that might be helpful. If your main was lowered and you have temp root, that will take just a while to fix it. Otherwise will not be that easy. Do you mind If I have a look at it over teamviewer?
I think my main was lowered ( or ot least changed ), but i dont think i dont have temproot. In HBOOT it still displays S-ON.
I will PM you the data concerning the rooting session.

Hello wonderful helpful android wizards out there! I humbly seek your help.
I recently purchased an unlocked HTC M8 AT&T and had it unlocked so I could use my prepaid carrier (Simple Mobile). I have two issues I would like help with:
1) I cannot get a gps lock at all. I have made sure the device is in high accuracy mode and I have tried downloading and refreshing aGPS data via the GPS status app.
2) I am trying to upgrade to lollipop using the provided RUU file on the HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
I am currently running 4.4.2. I was hoping that upgrading to the latest firmware might solve my GPS problem as a bonus, though I obviously want lollipop anyway to just generally be up to date. HTC sync manager works fine, but when I run the RUU file, it says the phone is not connected. I have tried the PB99IMH solution posted here that seemed to work for many people:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1928439
The roadblock I have hit is that I cannot copy the zip file onto my Android. I keep getting the error "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I can copy other file to the phone just fine. I tried fiddling with the permissions of the file, but I honestly don't really know what I'm doing with those.
So those are my problems. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
While in fastboot/hboot mode. Is your device recognized?
Where you have adb installed just open up a command prompt and do "fastboot devices" ... If your device's serial number shows up then it's being recognized. If not then your drivers are not installed or not recognized.

Thank you for your response.
I never explicitly installed adb. I have sync manager on my computer, and I can see adb.exe in my processes. I tried to open up the command prompt and typed "fastboot devices" while my phone is in fastboot usb mode and nothing showed up. When I tried to run the RUU file while the phone was in fastboot, i never got beyond the "verifying information on your android phone. please wait..." part.
EDIT: I would also like to point out that sync manager doesn't recognize my phone in hboot or fastboot, thought it does recognize it normally.

It not being recognized while in the bootloader via the HTC Sync app is normal.
You could flash an RUU from the phone itself. Simply copy the rom.zip to your sdcard and go into the bootloader it'll see it and flash aslong as its named properly.. ie 0PB6IMG.zip or something in those lines.
To get the rom.zip while the RUU is open go into your task manager and right click the ruu process and go to file location. The only zip in there thats ~2Gbs is the rom.

Ok, i finally got the update to work, but I am still having GPS issues. Any ideas?
I am also having GPS issues. Everything else on the device works fine, it just never finds any satellites. Any help or updates would be nice.
I'm having GPS problems as well. I'm on CM12.1. It used to work fine, but I've been playing with it trying to get LTE to work, and somewhere in there, my GPS stopped locking.
