I hope some clever, kind soul can help me here. I just tried to backup my current rom using rom manager and now my phone can't mount my sd card or read my sim. I think it may have something to do with amonra recovery which I thought I'd failed to install but now appears when I go into recovery. Even when I mount a different sd card the phone can't read it. I think I'm well out of my depth here but am crossing everything hoping for assistance.
Okay I've read and read and read for the last 3 hours and I'm still totally clueless. The phone won't connect to pc either. Any help would be appreciated. Time for 3 hours sleep now
Classic USB Brick. Don't worry, try this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
Thanks but I'm confused. My hboot is 0.93 and when I follow the next link it seems to suggest I need to downgrade hboot. Is this right or am I being really stupid?
Or is it this I should be following:
2. Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card.
If so, I don't understand how to enter any command here. There is no option to enter anything. Once again any replies would be very welcome
You have to install Android SDK in order to issue those commands. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Okay thanks for your patience. I'll do that next. Don't leave me

That's windows for you. You do have a 32 bit system, right ? Try rebooting your PC. You have installed it in the default location c:\Program Files\blabla..
Yes it's a 32 bit system and I installed to default location. I've checked java update too and have the latest version. I rebooted but to no avail. I don't think my mum can help with this one....

Try uninstalling SDK and Java, reinstall Java and after that SDK.
will do. As an interesting sidenote my phone won't charge from mains only via usb connection and even that's sporadic
Still the same unfortunately. How frustrating!

Try running it as "administrator".
You can use the ZIP version , unzip it , then dowload the tools using the manager , or download only the tools package
little trick :
If you want to use the installer anyway , hit the "back" button when you get the java error , then next again . The error should vanish. worked for me

It seems to be downloading a whole bunch SDK platforms quite slowly. Does that sound right? Thanks again btw
well... no...
You just need the tools , not the whole developpement platform.
Just select the SDK tool in the package window
Ive tried to s-off my Wildfire like 3 times. The first one i failed cz i chose HBOOT 1.01.0001. The second one it was stucked on Acquiring Root <method 1> then i waited, then it said click anything to exit. after that my third times, it doesnt detect my handset.
Does it mean my WF already s-off or what?
Thanks a lot to who has answered my question
You can check the HBOOT version by pressing Vol - and power when turning it on.
i already know its 1.01.0002
But then when i tried to do it again, the alpharevx doesnt detect my phone. it only said : Android
Then it wanted i put the serial
nvm, it detects now. But it stucks when it says Thank you for participating
hye...
i am rlly new with this forum just rcently bcame a mmber... n of cz vry noob...
i hving this problem when i try to run the alpharev X it says waiting for device..
so?? what had i done wrong i already know that my HBOOT is 1.01.002..
btw sory my english..
Did you set your phone at USB-debug and charge only?
how to enable the USB debug?? i hve set myphone to chrge only still alpharex doesnt detect myphone..
USB debugging is under Settings->Applications->Development
does it take a long time for the alpharev X to dtect the phone cz i follow all ur instructions it still shows waiting for device..

No. It detects it almost immediately. Possible solutions:
- Make sure USB Debugging is On, as already said above
- Redownload the AlphaRev X Executable file
- Make sure Drivers are installed and working properly. There are 2 aspects to this:
1) Install HTC Sync, and, Uninstall it. The ADB Drivers will be installed
2) The HBoot Drivers are next. Guide to install that is here:

thanks i just install the hboot driver.. install htc sync and uninstall htc sync.. so now i hope alpharev x can detect my phone... again thank u 4 the help..
now rise another problem.. alpharev x can detect myphone but when i enter the beta key base my serial no it says invalid beta key...
im pretty sure i enter the right serial key and the right beta key..

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
There are two possible solutions there again. But, before that, make sure you have entered the right details (Right Serial Number (HT0....), Right HBoot Version, Right Device Model).
Once you are sure these are correct:
- Solution 1 - Copy the beta key in your clipboard from the website, then right click the title bar of the AlphaRevX Application, Click Properties, then check mark Quick Edit Mode. Then Right click anywhere inside the window, it will paste the key.
- Solution 2 - Redownload the AlphaRevX Application from the website and retry.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, Oh well.
lol sory mymistake... actually i really put the wrong beta key...
now that i hve S-OFF myphone what should i do now... sorry i really dont know anything..
Two ways again:
1) Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
2) Use Fastboot (Which I used)
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff, irrespective of what you followed above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396

EXE File.
That post simply means, that when you have completed installing your SDK, then, there will be a folder called "Tools" at your install location. Copy Paste the Recovery.img file to the Tools folder.
ok now i hve copy the recovery.img into tools
then open cmd right?? now what??
so i got up to the part where i need to flash clockworkmod recovery into the command prompt however after i type in fastboot oem rebootRUU and it finds my device i move onto the next step "flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-vivow.img and it cannot load that
i have left my phone plugged in on the htc screen hoping someone can help me successfully complete the root
many thanks in advance
EDIT: can only start in bootloader now, cant use it as actual phone =[

what guide are you using? the recovery img has to be in the same folder as fastboot unless you point it towards a different folder
In the same boat as the OP, I've done everything right and I get this error message in cmd with the black screen and white HTC text.
BTW OP - You can go back to using your phone. Take out the battery (with the usb plug out of the phone or computer) and put it back in and turn the phone on normally. You'll just have to go through the process again of fastboot oem rebootRUU to get back to the black screen with white HTC text.
I'm using the CyanogenMod Wiki HTC Incredible 2 Full Update Guide (since I cannot link it in my post), I dunno what the OP is using. Also, the recovery file is in the appropriate location(s) in the android-sdk-windows folder.
im using the cyanogenmod wiki and i tried putting the recovery image for clockwork into the same folder as fastboot and adb and it still gives me that error and i dont have the technical savvy to figure this out
edit: that would be the platform-tools folder in the android sdk folder, thats what i found people did by googling this
and to finalassault, i took out my battery and tried turning it back on normally i just get stuck at the white screen with the green htc lettering so i clearly messed something up unless i just have to wait a few minutes
Try this guide. Use the clockwork image attached instead of the one from the CM7 guide.

Same error, except it's just coming up as not able to load this file instead of the other one. Maybe I possibly screwed up whilst doing AlphaRev?
Edit - I just did it a different way and I didn't get an error message:
sending 'recovery' (5022 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.776s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.254s]
finished. total time: 28.030s
I guess that worked.
Edit 2 - It "worked" but didn't really do anything else. Might have done something wrong on the AlphaRev step. Actually I'll shut up now, something else showed up.
Edit 3 and final edit - Done and done. That was fun.

It sounds like you may have borked your stock rom....if you can boot to hboot and select fastboot then you should be able to flash the CWM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14947083
Follow the instructions on the link not the one from CM Wiki. Make sure you have fastboot.exe and CWM image from the link in the same folder as your adb. If you're using windows 7 64bit then you'll need to run adb in compatability mode (at least that's what I had to do to get it working in 64bit).
You should then be able to flash a rooted, deodexed stock froyo sense rom from this link by Jcase http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138274 or use XGunthers Incredibly Debloated Rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138202
That should get you up and runnning. Or you could just jump straight into the GB ASOP roms CM7, MIUI, etc.
Let me know if this works for you....
the first link comes up as 404, appreciate the help
also not quite sure what the compatibility mode is for the adb, kind of a noob here =/
edit: got it in compatibility mode, i suppose i didnt install it right because it looks like it does something for a few seconds then seems to stop

It's okay don't worry...I'm pretty new to this stuff too since I just got into rooting about 2 weeks ago.
Compatability mode is an option in windows 7. Right click on the adb.exe file and select Properties. Once that comes up, you'll need to select the compatability tab on top and choose run in 'Windows XP Service Pack 2' mode (sorry I'm at work and don't have access to my win7 machine). Then click ok and it should run in compatability mode.
Then just follow the flash instructions from the link drcrawfo posted up and you should be good to go!
yea i got the compatibility mode, i must have messed something up pretty bad because adb and fastboot dont seem to do much, they go through a quick thing in the command prompt then dont seem to be active after that, also still cant flash clockworkmod
ok so idk why but i decided to try taking out the sd card and then when i did the flash recovery cwm thing a whole list of commands came up in the command prompt and i have no clue if thats good or bad or what command i should pick
ill list a few just to see if that helps you guys in helping me out
update <filename>
flashhall
flash <partition> [ <filename> ]
and a few more then there were options that followed
edit: and now for somereason it doesnt flash again but if i do fastboot recovery i still get all those options so is there a way to get the cwm to flash through that way

Hmmm..so you have all your files setup in the same folder and when running the commands from cmd they don't do anything? Does it saying anything is being sent?
This may be beyond my expertise. Have you tried posting in the clockwork mod thread in the development section?
Sent from my Incredible 2
I just want to mention that I didn't end up using the exact commands that are given from the wiki, that didn't seem to work for me. I had to mess around with it (including manually pointing cmd to where it was) to get it to work for me. Had all of the drivers, SDK stuff, the path and everything where they should have been. I hope you get this resolved.
nothing is working out for me this is not fun
same boat as you simple but I can still use my phone. I just gave up as none of the methods seemed to work.

You need to open a command window, change the working directory to where adb/fastboot are located and then type adb.exe at the command prompt.
It sounds like you are trying to double-click the adb.exe from Windows Explorer.
yea i was double clicking, im not too savvy with this stuff, how do you change the directory and all that

Setup is not compatible with 64 bit win 7 ultimate
But all you need to do is:
0. Extract the Zip file to any folder
1. Goto Device manager
2. Right click the s1bootdownload icon (which will have an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle)
3. Click update driver
4. Use manual install from computer option
5. select the folder where you extracted the zip file
6. Hit ok
7. Works like charm

I don't have any other cables. I will ask my friend to lend me his and try that. But what if that doesn't work?
I had this issue on my old tower. Plugging my phone into USB 3.X ports didn't allow it to flash images via fastboot with the same error. I plugged it directly into the case's 2.0 ports and it worked perfectly. My new tower doesn't do that, though. Oh and I had two brand new cables.
So basically try a different port/cable.

It's weird because that cable and that port work very well for data transfer and adb actually works. Fastboot works as well...
Is the problem in that command only?
I had a similar issue. I had to use a different PC to get my phone back to work. Try restarting the pc or a create a different user in Windows and see if that helps. Also there is a very useful script called Deus script on the forums here for bootloops try it.

Yeah, the case was the same for me.
Super weird issue.
OH, there's one more thing I can think of. What OS are you running? If it's Windows 10, it could also be that. MS and their automatic updates override Google's driver so I always disabled that. It's weird, but that was another issue I had at some point.
You might see a LeLand driver or something similar for it, I don't remember the exact name. So that's also something to look into if you can.
For full stock run flash-all.bat, this will erase all the phone's data though.
Ran into the same issue few days ago, changing cables and ports didn't help but restarting the computer several times did.

I do have a laptop that is running Win 7 and my father's laptop that has Vista on it for some reason.
Also I relaized my friend has a Type-C port on his desktop so will probably give that a try, and use the original cable.
I forced a Google backup before I messed it up so I don't really care about the data.
By the way what's the matter with the
"fastboot: error: Device does not support slots"?
Is that anything critical? Or just another weird error because of the cable/port?
Also: I did some digging throu the system files with TWRP and most of the root directories are empty...

I do have a laptop that is running Win 7 and my father's laptop that has Vista on it for some reason.
Also I relaized my friend has a Type-C port on his desktop so will probably give that a try, and use the original cable.
I forced a Google backup before I messed it up so I don't really care about the data.
By the way what's the matter with the

See, look at all the advice you got. From what I've read, your USB cables appears to be your #1 issue. Like others have said, get a good USB A to USB C cable, and you'll likely be ok ?

Indeed, thank you! I'm actually kinda stuck installing the newest ADB and drivers right now... Can someone share a link to the latest 8.1 image avadible for this phone and the adb that I need, please? This laptop is currently quite clean and I really don't want to mess around anymore.
Thank you all!

Here's the factor image page. Just look for Taimen, June image at the bottom of the section. Use the OPM2 unless your on T-Mobile.
https://developers.google.com/android/images
And this is the SDK/platform-tools that I use that also has the adb interface ?

Thanks! Now I simply extracted the platform-tools in a folder C:\adb.
Downloaded the image, but the phone won't show up when I run adb devices...
On Windows 7... On my desktop it shows up the sec I run it.
Installed Google drivers as well.
Say could I simply "adb push" the image on the phone and flash it from TWRP?
"adb push" works. I just tried and pushed the image on the phone. But it says "invalid zip file format".
Could I extract the zip and push all the images one by one?

You've got to get in the mindset that though adb and SDK/platform-tools are part of each other, they are also different. Adb is mostly used when your device is on, whereas sdk/platform-tools is used as your bootloader interface, where you do your fastboot commands.
After you installed the SDK, there should be a folder within SDK named platform-tools. That's where your extracted files from the factory image go. You don't put the full factory image in there. The pics should give you an idea what I'm taking about. You'll actually open your command prompt on the platform-tools folder so you can execute your fastboot commands.

Now I have installed Android Studio and selected the SDK tools that weren't selected before and installed them.
Still my question remains... Since the USB cable is the problem, could I flash it from TWRP? I don't mind keeping TWRP installed so if I could just reinstall the OS. That would be lovely.
On the other hand. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it.
Another route to go of your struggling with paths is my convoluted method that works for me. Every month I download the latest factory image and the latest platform tools and extract both to the same folder. I also put the TWRP.img file and also dueces script there too. So each month I have a stand alone installation. I have used the dueces script the last two months with good results. (I just like having both slots up to date in case I install a custom Rom). If you choose to go the route with the script there is an additional zip file to extract. At the end, all the loose files are in one directory beside some folders for platform tools. Let us know if you need additional info. Note for June they changed something in the syntax so dueces made a new version of the script. Here are the files in my latest dir.
deuce-flash-all-v4.5.bat
platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
taimen-opm2.171026.006.c1-factory-21236059.zip

At the moment all I really want is to get this phone working...
I just re-ran the flash-all.bat with the same set of folders as you have and got this:
< waiting for any device >
Sending 'bootloader_a' (36380 KB) OKAY [ 0.937s]
Writing 'bootloader_a' FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions
)
Finished. Total time: 0.947s
rebooting into bootloader OKAY [ 0.002s]
Finished. Total time: 0.002s
fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot
rebooting into bootloader OKAY [ 0.002s]
Finished. Total time: 0.003s
extracting android-info.txt (0 MB) to RAM...
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: TMZ12g
getvar:version-baseband FAILED (remote: unknown command)
fastboot: error: requirements not met!
Press any key to exit...
So I guess that means criticlal is locked?
I ran fastboot flashing unlock_critical:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
FAILED (remote: Device already : unlocked!)
Finished. Total time: 0.002s
EDIT*: I rebooted the phone in hopes of you know... Any progress. It seems to be stuck on the "G" loading screen.
From this point could I just flash a custum ROM via TWRP?
I just want it to work.
