Ok so I have been using the Lastest Cyanogenmod on my Mytouch 3G Slide for a few months without any changes or problems.
Then the phone doesn't start, just vibrates and does nothing. I believe its because I did a soft reset I'm not sure.
It won't start, hboot, fastboot, or recovery. ALTHOUGH I can hold the Back + Power, which the phone doesn't react to at all; but my computer sees it via CMD - fastboot devices.
I have looked for .img files to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but colud not find anything.
Any help would be nice, or should I consider this a brink? -_-.

this is the first time i am posting, i do hope i can get some help.
my phone is now s-off and i can boot into the Hboot during boot up, but i can't boot into my phone. It just stuck at the HTC logo screen without booting into my phone.
its my first time playing with android and i would appreciate if anyone could help me out here. I've read i think almost all the relevant problems and solution out there to help but i am really confused by all of them. what i need is a simple and clear way of doing it. step by step would really be perfect.
thank you and please be patient with me.. i am a noob..
cheers
Did you install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod?

hi Sleef,
i don't think i have. could you guide me in installing one? thanks
I assume it would involve using adb to push it to your phone and beyond that, I'd probably have to do as much reading as you to be up to speed on how to do that.
Check the stickies in the development section. I'm willing to bet that somewhere in there will be the files you need and some instructions on how to make it all happen.
It'll be worth your while to brush up on using adb.

thanks sleef,
right now i am trying to use the sdb to push the clockworkmod. but the problem is the adb does not recognize my phone.
i have the same problem on my desire z,
i need help
If you have adb setup correctly on your PC, then you should be able to boot the phone into fastboot mode (hold down the trackpad button and press Power, with it turned off), and then when you plug it into the PC, you can do "fastboot devices" and get it to see your phone.
If you have got fastboot working, and you have the engineering hboot installed, then you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flasha new recovery image. You can get the Clockwork image for Vision from http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ (2.5.1.3 is the latest).

Thanks for stepping in. I wasn't sure how much more I could say without making the problem worse.

i guess my adb is working on the PC. For the fastboot mode, can i enter it by holding the power button and volume down, then enter fastboot mode? is that the same?
my main problem is that adb does not detect the phone currently, this prevents me from going further to save my phone.

Yes, that's the other way of getting into fastboot. It should say "fastboot usb" on the phone screen if it's working properly.
Hi, My DHD volume buttons no longer work and I've been reticent to send it off to get fixed as I can do with out the volume controls as opposed to being without a phone for 2-3 weeks.
However I used Rom manager to boot into CWR and was in the process of upgrading to revolution 5.2.4 from 5.1.8.
I ran the full wipe script then my fat fingers rebooted the phone rather than flashing the rom.
I now cant get back into CWR to flash the new rom. It just sits at the boot logo, obviously as all other partitions have been wiped.
Is there any other way I can force the phone to boot into CWR, perhaps using the sdk tools or similar?
I've tried adb devices, but it doesnt show up. Is there an external way to force the phone into flashing a new ROM or booting into CWRM ?
Thanks
Ron
I would like to help, first lets try using adb, command would be adb reboot recovery
Hi, thanks for the help.
As mentioned in OP. I have powered the phone on and have have already attempted this, but the device is not recognised by adb.
tools>adb reboot recovery
error: device not found
My question is how to get the device to be recognised if its simply sitting at the boot image?
R
Sorry I over looked that, it seems to me if adb (which is an sdk tool) won't recognize the device as being attached, i don't see any other sdk tool doing any different, also as far as I know there is no alternate method to scrolling through the boot loader that would allow you to choose recovery and flash a zip other then the volume keys , so it seems the solution is, to send the phone off, get the volume keys fixed, and then you will be able to get back into the boot loader, and select recovery, and reflash a rom. Other than that, I don't see any other method, if adb doesn't recognize the device as being plugged in, I am assuming you attempted to boot into boot loader as well, and see if adb recognized the device?
EDIT: stupid question you can't boot into boot loader without volume key
I just want to confirm that I need do nothing else other than configure the sdk and ENV path etc, such that if i can run adb and get the deafult output, eg switches fr command line options etc...
then all I should need to do is turn phone on and connect via usb to computer. I dont need to edit any config files for specific phone versions or whatnot?
If not then Ill try and bring it to a vodaphone shop and see if they can fix the volume button...
R
if you get the volume buttons fixed, we don't even need adb, I was simply thinking adb since your volume buttons are broken. Once the volume buttons are fixed, you simply need to boot into boot loader, then to recovery, mount USB mass storage, put a new rom on there, wipe the phone, flash the rom and your good
Good luck mate, do some mediation meanwhile and learn to keep patience, so when your phone is back, you can treat it gently while in the recovery.
You will be alright once your vol keys are fixed.
so i had just htc dev unocked my one x, now i was using hasoons tool, and when i tried to flash a recovery in fastboot with commands, everything in the prompt said okay.. flashed successful and so on, and the bar on the top right hand side of my phone flickered as if to load, but didint. now when i go to recovery mode, it gives me the splash screen with some red letter **** about distrabution, then reboots. ive tried flashing every possible recovery for the one x, including stock, and seems to do nothing, help??
pic is the screen rite b4 reboot (thats what i get when i reboot into recovery)
EDIT:: now im stuck at the screen in the picture, will not boot into anything else, will not be recognized by adb. PLEASE HELP!!!!
EDIT EDIT: i can power off, and get back into fast boot with volume off, but im almost asuming i just have no recovery..... and it will NOT! boot into the phone no matter what, only booting into that screen... what the **** do i do lol this is kind of a panic now
Have you tried reflashing stock recovery? Also shouldn't you be in the AT&T One X forum unless of course you have the international version of the One X.
I have tried the stock recovery, but now its in fastboot and won't get recognized by adb on my pc as it did. It just boot loops now at that screen and won't get recognized. And this isn't at. &t

You're suppose to flash stock recovery in fastboot.
I know, I tried when it was getting recognized, now I can't even pick it up with adb
so its telling me to flash the stock RUU, but i cant use adb commands it wont recognize in fastboot, the computer dings when i plug it in, but adb devices comes up with nothing, i tried every usb port on my pc and everything

First of all ADB only works in RECOVERY mode not directly in bootloader. So do the following steps & instal custom rom (Any1 u like).
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
I was trying to look what was installed on a friend's HTC Desire, so I used "adb reboot bootloader", and only used "fastboot devices" to make sure it sees the smartphone. I left it connected for some time while I was looking for some things related to installing a custom firmware and it got hot. I have a HTC Hero and I had it gone hotter and nothing happened, but after I restarted this HTC Desire it kept restarting continously after it played the HTC animation. I can still get into the bootloader/recovery, but that's kind about it, nothing more. Should I just wait for it to cool down, or I might just bricked it?
<<Update>>
It's been more than 8 hours and the smartphone still does this. The thing is the volume buttons are broken, I only have fastboot control over it. The only solution that came to my mind was to flash it with a Touch ROM, but I can't find a fastboot command to restart directly into recovery, I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. Does anybody have an idea on how to get directly to recovery from fastboot?
Well, in fasboot you select "bootloader", then recovery.

I can't do that because the volume buttons are broken, so I can't select anything.

Download the 4ext recovery.img on your PC. Then boot the phone into fastboot and run the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
It worked, now the phone it's fully functional (except the volume buttons of course) .
I used the following steps:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
2. wipe both types of data
3. went to advanced menu and used the other type of wipe (dalvanic or something).
Thanks .
So I already had a rooted (and I'm pretty sure unlocked bootlader) version of the stock Asus and wanted to put CM13 nightly on there. Everything was going smooth until I got to the stage where I have to load into TWRP and I got the error screen with the little dead alien and the red symbol.
Now I can't enter normal boot, but entering recovery mode seems to work. I tried the option to side load a package from ADB on that screen but nothing worked (.zip files extracted, but I got an error on the phone).
As you can tell, I'm really new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried looking around, but it seems the more common issue is people not being able to enter recovery mode or something similar.
Thanks
Looks like your doing it wrong. Being rooted does not necessarily mean that your bootloader is unlocked.
By the looks of it your in recovery mode with the dead robot with the "error" message. That is normal. To reboot back into system you either have to press (I don't remember) power button and volume up or down button. Then you should see some options with reboot to system. Or if that does not work you can hold the power button till it turns off.
Then you get back into Android, download the official bootloader unlock tool from ASUS and install it on your device. NOTE: If you updated to MM then this will not work and this will void your warranty.
Run the tool and press unlock and it should reboot into fastboot where it should begin the unlocking process. I believe it should automatically reboot and you should see that the Asus logo is now black instead of white. If not, repeat the process.
You can now proceed to flash twrp recovery. Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode either with "adb reboot bootloader" or hold a specific set of buttons while off to go directly into fastboot.
On the computer, connect your device and type in "fastboot flash recovery (path to twrp IMG without brackets)"
When done you should be able to reboot into twrp recovery where you can flash the cm13 zip.
Hope this helped.
