Hi guys...
i want to install the CM7 hboot on my desire, and i boot my desire in fastboot mode (voldown + power and select fastboot) and then i plug it in the computer
then i have tried to use both android flasher and fastboot commander but both of em can't contact my phone.... fastboot commander cant retrieve device info or anything...
what am i doing wrong?
i have used the alpharev method to S-off...
Root + S-OFF using Revolutionary. Then, boot into HBOOT (remove the battery, re-insert it, hold Volume Down + Power until you get a white screen). The volume rockers will probably do nothing now, as it has to check for a ZIP file first. After about 15 seconds, you should be able to browse in the menu. Select 'Fastboot' with the volume rockers, and press Power. Connect it to your PC, and use the tools you mentioned to flash a custom HBOOT.
After flashing a custom HBOOT, you'll also have to reinstall your ROM! Perhaps you also have to reinstall your recovery, but I'm not sure about that.

Before you start, boot recovery and backup your ROM!
Lets use cmd. You'll need fastboot.exe, for simplicity - put it in your c:\ (if you don't have it, download & unzip my attachment into c:\)
Download the cm7 hboot from alpharev (and check md5!!!!! - also attached md5 checker) and put it in c:\
open cmd (start menu, accessories) and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem gencheckpt [COLOR="Red"](optional: this just boots you into recovery)[/COLOR]
You're more than likely to get a bootloop from your current ROM if you don't re-flash it.

thanks for the good description.... actually it was my drivers that was wrong... i checked in device manager and tried to update driver and it found the right driver then...
actually i found it almost easier to use CMD than thoose programs

Yeah CMD is pretty easy, specially if you know the right commands etc. if you look at some guides you'll get the hang of it pretty fast (it's pretty simple really), there's also less to go wrong so it's safer (especially when flashing radio :O) since cmd is less prone to crashing than other programs (not that I've had a crash before.. just saying)
and I could've made it simpler.. you're just not a spanktard that doesn't get anything and you actually understand things lol so well done on that

EDIT: OK guys I did it in other way.
Alright, I have been searching around for my problem and I have found no such luck. I am running Evervolv ICS ROM Preview 8 and I noticed they released Preview 9. So I decided to upgrade of course but I came across a snag. My phone just boot's into the stock recovery and not into Clockwork. I have found a similar problem in another forum but I am unable to post the link do the rules of this forum.
The problem being that I cannot turn off FASTBOOT, I have no selection to do so in my phones settings.
Any help at all would be wonderful.

Are you s-off? If so flash cwm recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
If you can boot into the stock recovery then fastboot is not the issue. If fast boot is enabled holding vol down and power just boots the phone, you will not enter any recovery. The only way to enter recovery with fastboot enabled is to pull the battery truly powering off the phone, fastboot does not power of but hibernates for faster boot.

Well if you are getting the stock recovery then i assume cwm recovery is not installed. Flashing the file above will install it.
To do so download the file and place it on your sdcard in no folders.
Power off the phone and pull the battery, then reinsert.
Hold vol down and power buttond till a white screen pops up (hboot). Wait a couple secs and hboot will find the file, parse it, and then prompt to press vol up to update. When its donr it will prompt to press vol up to reboot or vol down not to. Press vol down and then scroll to and select recovery. You should now be where you want to be.

I'm sorry I was not clear before, forgive me. Yes Clockwork is installed, I have reflashed it with the current version and older versions to attempt to fix the problem. I tried another recovery as well (One that I cannot recall at the moment) and I still boot into the stock recovery. My main problem is that I cannot boot into Clockwork. I'm sorry again for not being specific before.

No I do not, should I go ahead and get that setup? Before I forget thank you for being patient and helpful this far, I appreciate your help so far.
Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB-Fastboot-USB-Drivers_v4_(x86)(x64).zip, and extract it to C:\. You should now have an ADB folder on the C:\ drive (C:\ADB), which contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then follow this guide to setup the drivers http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Once that is setup and working download this zip file ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/flash_mtd_recovery.zip ), unzip it, and place the 2 files on your sdcard in no folders.
Make sure usb debuging is checked on in menu - settings - applications - development
Power off the phone pull the battery and reinsert. Plug the phone in to the pc and hold vol down and power till hboot comes up. Select fastboot, it should say in red near the top fastboot usb. Then type the folowing in a cmd prompt:
fastboot erase recovery
Once complete reboot the phone.
Set the phone to charge only.
Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate to the same folder as your fastboot.exe file, (example type: cd C:\ADB ).
Type the following into the command prompt pressing the enter key at the end of each line:
adb shell
(You should now get a pound sign #)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Then try to see if you can access cwm recovery.

Sounds like the recovery partition may be corrupt, nothing will write to it. Well if i were you i would do an ruu and see if that fixes it. Not much else you can do i dont think. Hopefully the ruu will fix it and allow you to flash cwm.
How do I go about doing ruu?

My phones stucked on Fastboot and it doesnt let me to go(select) recovery or anything.It only read PD99IMG.zip files and hardware keys only work to select yes or no(update or not).I was on CWM recovey and i flashed CWM img.But still phones doesnt let me to get into recovery! Still can reads PD99IMG.zip and only doing that. What should i do?I also tried RUU.exe.But it tell me to connect phone via usb even it still connected.
TIA
P.S.
Flashed CWM recovery image through Android Flasher and able to get into recovery! So i restored previous backed up CM.Everything perfect except these things.Now POWER BUTTON DOESNT RESPOND CORRECTLY and STILL CAN'T GET IN TO RECOVERY BY HOLDING VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON. But ROM Manager CAN get in to recovery! What is now?
1st power button didn't work.Then i gave a factory reset. Nothing changed.After few hours,power button begun to respond, but not correctly. I mean,when i press on power button,screen doesn't off. But when i long press on power button and after few seconds,phone respond(show the power button long press menu).Also i can select Power off,reboot etc..This seems a software problem.What shold i do?
Ah.Another thing,I think i have Stock Hboot.Should i flash CM Hboot because i have a CM rom?
TIA

"I'm S-OFF, I can't boot recovery and my phone doesn't

For one reason or another, your recovery image is corrupted
and when you try to boot into recovery, all you get is the
HTC screen and your phone doesn't boot. It is relatively
simple to fix, and there is more than one way to go about
doing this. All you need to do, is to flash a new recovery
image.
Possible causes
- I have no idea, however if somebody has an explanation
then feel free to PM me.
Repairing recovery, booting phone:
NOTE: If you have a PVT4 Device, go to "Flashing custom
recovery". If you are unsure, check just to be safe.
#METHOD 1#
Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery
image.
[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the
POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2] - Download Android Flasher
[STEP3] - Download the recovery image . Put it in a place you
can remember.
[STEP4] - Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press
"Begin"
[STEP5] - Browse to where you downloaded the recovery
image, select it, and press "open"
[STEP6] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards
#METHOD 2#
Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set
up.
[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the
POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2] - Download the recovery image . Rename it to
"recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following
directory:
Code:
C:\
[STEP3] - then in cmd type the following commands
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt (this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from
[STEP4] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards"
Im trying with AndroidFlasher .Problem is link to recovery.img is not working.Can you tell me the full name of recovery i should google and download?
TIA
download ClockWorkMod recovery for bravo then you can flash any custom rom... 4ext is highly recommended but you should download it via app (download from here)
Is it really necessary to open another thread about your problem?

On my HTC One V I unlock bootloader and rooted it successfully. It was working fine, but about 1-2 weeks later, when I was chatting with my friends on Messenger, it was starting to lag like hell until i couldn't do antyhing. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button. When I turned it on, firstly the logo "Quietly Brilliant" appeared and then...there was just a black screen. The phone was still turned on, but just with a black screen.. a slightly lighter black screen. I tried to turn it on and of. I can go to fast boot mode with Volume down+power button. I tried factory reset, but there was still the black screen. I send it to the manufacture, but they said, that the hardware is destroyed, because I've changed it. I think they mean I changed it with root and unlocking the bootloader...but I think that's not true? I don't think root or unlocking bootloader can change hardware. Yet I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader, but I can't do It if I can't connect my phone to my pc anymore. So my questions are:
1)How could I change the hardware?
2)How can I connect my phone to pc?
3)Is there a way to save my phone?
4)How does the manufacture know, that my phone is rooted when it can't be turned on, or connected to pc
5)Do they just lie about the hardware, so I must pay for it?
first of all, are you gsm or cdma? (do you have a sim?) If you can access bootloader, then you can fix your phone (99,9% of times). all you need to do is flash another rom with the correct kernel

Yes, I have s sim..so I have gsm i think? Right now, the manufacture is sending me back my phone. What is the bootloader exactly? Do you mean the combination of the keys volume down+power button?
If yes and I can acces to bootloader, how can I flash the rom with the correct kernel? Does it mean, my phone will be back to normal like it was at the start?
If I can't acces to bootloader, is there still a way to repair my phone?
btw I can't connect my phone to my pc...at least It didn't worked.
Don't worry, when you get back your phone tell me. If you can access your bootloader we will get your phone back to normal :thumbup:

Hey sorry I have to go to school now.. I'll write a little guide as soon as I come back, be patient. In order you have to unlock and root (if you haven't done it already), flash a recovery (I suggest twrp recovery, you can find it in android development or original android development-This also only if you don't have that already), factory reset from recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to your phone, unmount, flash the rom, reboot into bootloader and flash the correct kernel found in the rom thread. This should work. I'll give you a hit when I get back tough.

Its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted. Now for the recovery i found this:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/119
They say I should download the newest recovery img, access bootloader, select fastboot, plug the device into computer and run the command:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img into command prompt right?
Yes its right. Then you boot into recovery, and mount usb storage and with the pc copy a rom into the sd card, then unmount, from the recovery go to wipe - > factory reset, once it's done go to install and select the zip of the rom. When it's done, go back to the home page of recovery, and from there press reboot bootloader. Now do fastboot, and from the pc, put kernel in fastboot folder (the same place where you put your recovery to flash it), open cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to complete, reboot and enjoy!

Yes, now create a folder on the desktop called fastboot and copy those files in that folder. Then in cmd type cd desktop (enter) cd fastboot (enter), put the recovery in that folder, connect the phone on fastboot usb and type the recovery command

Hi,
It sounds like you just need to flash the boot.img from the rom you are trying to flash in fastboot. I suspect you are still s-on? If so that is the problem you are having and can be fixed pretty easy. Can you boot to the white bootloader screen and confirm for me if it is indeed s-on still? It will be S-on if you unlocked via HTCDev
If you are s-off then you most likely just need to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset in CWM then reboot
FYI - You do not need to be rooted on current rom to install a rom via custom recovery.
Hope this helps!
That didnt help Kevin or may be i did it wrong.
I extracted the boot.img from the ROM i was trying to install & then i created a boot.zip from that boot.img
I moved it to the SD card & tried to install it. It showed installation aborted.
What should i do??

Thanks & appreciate your efforts..

That didnt help Kevin or may be i did it wrong.
I extracted the boot.img from the ROM i was trying to install & then i created a boot.zip from that boot.img
I moved it to the SD card & tried to install it. It showed installation aborted.
What should i do??

Thanks & appreciate your efforts..

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion, you need to flash the boot.img directly in fastboot to flash it, not in a zip via recovery. Can you boot to the white bootloader screen by powering off phone then pressing and holding Power + Vol Down? If so please tell me if you are s-on at top of white screen.
If it says s-on on bootloader screen then you need to connect phone to PC, and then choose top option on the list (fastboot) at bottom of screen by pressing power button this should make middle of screen change to say "fastboot usb plug" If this is true you need to copy the boot.img from rom you are trying to install to the folder you have the fastboot file in. From there you need to open command prompt in that same folder by hovering mouse over bottom white part of the folder fastboot is in and hold shift and right click . Now choose Open command prompt here from the pop up menu. Finally in the black command prompt box type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then hit enter. Now type:
fastboot reboot
And hit enter, let me know if phone will fully boot now.
If you have too much trouble with this and want me to help further, please install Teamviewer and I can connect remotely and have you fixed up in a bout 5 mins if you want.
Good luck and hope this helps!
