[SOLVED][Q] I don't see HBOOT USB in the HBOOT menu! Help..

Decided to root my desire this evening. I've booted into hboot menu using the volume down and power button keys.
I see these 4 options only:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
No "HBOOT USB"!
What next??

The top should say HBOOT USB when you plug your phone into your computer via USB.

Do I have to connect the phone via USB to the phone here?
Am following the steps mentioned here and STEP 3 mentions about selecting HBOOT USB which is supposed to be the 4th option? And I do not see it.
Just making sure I don't mess anything up!

I guess that 4th option is for EVO. I just plugged the USB cable and everything worked. I guess.
Thanks!

Successfully ROOTED!
Thanks xda forums!
Next step: flashing a custom ROM!
Cheers!

Use adb from bootlooping screen. The command is "adb reboot recovery". Adb is part of android SDK. There are plenty of guides on how to set up adb out there and its easy.

Make sure that you have usb debugging enabled and the driver is installed correctly (with the phone unplugged)

You can run adb from pretty much anywhere. Even if you were stuck in the splashscreen or in the rom.

You don´t to have be in hboot to use adb. You have to be with the phone on normally or from the splash screen itself. If you are in hboot then choose fastboot and try from there but using fastboot devices command instead.
As long as you have not factory reseted the phone the usb debugging drivers will stay in the phone.

USB debugging should always be enabled by default in any custom Rom. The thing that will disable it is doing factory reset from hboot screen. But you can't get there anyways so it should be enabled. Start the phone as normal and let it go to splash screen. Plug into pc and be sure to check that pc sees the phone. If not, unplug phone. Uninstall drivers. Re install drivers and then plug phone back in. From adb type "adb devices". You should see your device. After that run the "adb reboot recovery". If it still doesn't see it plug phone into different port. Preferably one that goes straight into mother board and remove any other USB devices that are plugged in.

any other way to enable it ?
I did a factory reset.
i just installed a new rom.
thank you for trying to help any way/

Go to settings>Applications>development and check USB debugging.
If you're still getting device not recognized, you should reinstall HTC drivers by reinstalling HTC sync. ( if you haven't installed those in the first place, then you won't be able to use adb unless you do)

When you say "factory reset," do you mean that you ran a RUU? Or that you chose "factory reset" in recovery, so you still have a custom ROM installed? If the answer is the latter, you probably have USB Debugging enabled. Just give ADB a try.

Do you have the HTC sync drivers installed? If not, you should be able to find guides for it, like glevitan said.

And guess what? It belongs to my wife!!! And I have to give it back to her or I should stay several nights
in the street.... and instead of a pillow I should put a cat or something under my head!
Problem.... Stuck at htc boot screen... not able to enter recovery
I installed 4ext recovery ages ago....
the main problem is that the volume keys ( both up and down ) are broken and neither of them work!
adb restart recovery doesn't work
no device find!
yes I installed all the drivers, and I can boot other phones into recovery
What should I do?
Please help!

How?
I installed the R26.2 successfully, the JB Rom I mean..
Then installed all the tweaks in PIMP my ride successfully again ( I am not a noob.... )
That didn't triggered it...
At the end I was trying to install Int2ext+ and it happened....! I don't know why!
I had done this before on various phones.... I don't know what happened!
The only thing I was able to access so far was HTC BOOT SCREEN! :laugh: and I also
can access a choke hold from my wife soon I guess!
I don't know why these things always happen to her phone... other friends phones are fine when
I change their roms bla bla bla!

Pull the battery and then put it back. And try to boot, pressing power + volume down until you get hboot.

This may be a bit late, but I have had the same issues in getting it into flash mode. There is a button inside the case (if you take the back off) then press that and hold the reset button, you'll get it into a different mode. On Windows 7 it recognises it as a disk called VDfu. From here however I have no ideas on what I can do to flash it.
I previously had a childpad that I flashed successfully with the rockchip flash tool, however with this mode on this childpad I can't get it to recognise the device in that way ...
There does appear to be some success with this, however steps don't exist for the flash procedure that I can find ...

Flashed wrong boot.img and recovery.img!

Hi, i need help. My phone is on lollipop. I tried flashing a bumped recovery.img and i stupidly didn't realise that bumping was patched. But the phone still booted fine, I just couldn't boot into recovery. Today, I tried booting a modified boot.img and now it won't boot AT ALL! Every time I try and press the power button, it will come up with a message that says something like "security error - cause 2 boot certification verify" then the screen will just go black and the LED will flash red and blue constantly unless I pull the battery out. I am so worried!!!! If you want to know, I flashed the recovery and boot images with flashify. I am very very worried. Is there any way I can fix my phone? Thanks.

@GSYNCER, can you get to the download mode? If yes, you might as well flash your firmware using the flash tool. I hope I didn't misunderstand you.

I am not at home right now, so I can't check. But what I did do was connect a USB cable directly connected to the mains plug (no pc) and tried the download method and it didn't work. Should I try with a proper PC to see if it works? As I said, I cannot enter recovery mode or boot into the system. But I CAN do a hard factory reset, but unfortunately that did nothing I am getting very worried and I do not know if download mode works or not. I will try the download mode method when I get home.

@GSYNCER, do let me know if the Download Mode worked for you or not. I am not sure if plugging in to the mains will have the same effect as connecting to a PC. Hope to hear from you.

I managed to do it!! I managed to get into download mode when connected to a PC. Just make sure that the cable is USB 2.0 and it will boot into download mode and follow the steps in this video: https: //youtu. be/1WgXuxDbmbc (remove the spaces in the URL)
If you follow the steps in that video, your phone will be working again. I am even sending this message from my LG G3 itself! Good luck restoring. Thank you.

I cant boot my oneplus 3 at all

i installed cm14.1 today from the cyanogenmod website i had everything running fine until i reboot into recovery. i got a black screen and it didnt bot into recovery at all so i held my power button and volume down and nothing happens. i cant even boot up into fast boot or anything. nothing is turning my phone on. when i connect it to my pc nothing happens. is there anything i can do?

There's a mega unbrick guide for the OnePlus 3, use that then install the correct firmware and install the custom TWRP and re flash the ROM

i tried that method but the device doesnt even show up on my pc

Get this sorted yet? You'll need a modified TWRP recovery for the newest CM based builds. I went through the same thing yesterday or the day before. Try holding volume down and power for like 30 seconds until you feel it vibrate that it is rebooting. Then hold volume *UP* while it reboots or if you see the "your device is not safe..." flash screen hurry and press volume down and go into fastboot. From there you can fastboot flash a new recovery.

I had the same problem as well, in device manager go to ports (com & LPT) and it will show up there under qualcum device. Don't forget to go and turn off certificate verification

Thanks guys I'll try this after work. Hopefully it works. If not sure oneplus are hopefully releasing a new phone soon

No it didn't work. I have a feeling I deleted something I shouldn't have because I was clearing out my files before I restarted and that was that.

you gotta use special twrp recovery for cm14.1...
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224394867

Just use the recovery rahditzz provided you with a link, if your phone is stuck on black screen with white led hold your power button until it turns off, then boot to fastboot and flash the recovery and you will boot...

Are you pushing volume up while plugging in cable?

I am. To be honest its very complex too me. I'm new to android and all this is so hard. I follow steps but I'm not 100% sure what I doing. Also my computer isn't great. Do these methods work on vista? Is there a video tutorial or anything? Sorry for annoying you and you don't understand how thankful i am for your help.

Your running vista???? Good god update your OS!!

Maybe your fastboot drivers got updated? There were some reports around this. You could try reinstalling the drivers and following the unbrick guide without an internet connection.
