Hy,
After an installation failed on my phone, when i want to start it, it spend a long time to go on, and after the phone stay on the white screen with htc logo in green.
i've tried to to reinstall a Rom via adb commands, but the phone is not reconised by the PC !
Have you got an idea?
What were you trying to do? Do you have the htc drivers installed?

Can you boot into recovery? How did you root your phone?

Can you get into hboot? Perhaps the pd98img method might work, not too sure.

yeah...but it takes time...hit the IRC channel in my signature...they won't help u straight but you get the code and instructions to sort it out. You need to have a minimum of adb knowledge...if you are not sure of how to do it, just let me know and we can manage for me to take control of your PC for a while to do it,....:good:
Don't try flash a RUU again, it might work or you might mess the device...

Okay so yesterday I accidentally downloaded an old RUU and attempted to run it. I got an error in the middle of it and my phone was then stuck on a silver and black HTC screen. When I unplugged the USB it would take me to the Bootloader where it would then only say "RUU". Phone won't reboot or go into recovery. And one more small problem... The battery just died and wont charge. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

can I use " Okay so yesterday I accidentally downloaded an old RUU and attempted to run it." in my sig???
btw what hboot did you have before and what version ruu did you try and install?
Yes lmao.
Version 2.10, downloaded new one but having trouble doing it since battery died and not sure the phone will actually connect.
charge the battery some and see if the phone turns on, see if it will boot into recovery/rom etc
Ok, will try to charge battery, but from what i've tried, could not get in to recovery or get the bootloader to come up.
if you can not get anything on the screen and the phone won't mount the sdcard and adb won't connect, be prepared for a drive to the sprint store

Hahahaha ^^^ Anyways new info did get the phone to get a charge. But now cannot get it to connect to computer.
I've actually came across this on the HTC Hero CDMA. i accidentally installed the wrong hero rom, cause at the time i was a noob to the android. an i tried to ruu but it failed. i kept doing all i could and playing with it. but where u ruu got half way through. and debug mode/recovery is reset by half way through.
only thing you can do is try to get into Hboot mode and try to see if u can connect to usb that way. then try to ruu

Just go's back to the "Silver and black HTC screen" and if I pull the USB (when in my computer) It will show me an option in the bootloader thats says RUU thats it. Can't do anything from there.

If you can get into the bootloader your going to be just fine. Use the fastboot option in the bootloader to get your phone to connect to your computer, I have done this numerous times to unroot! You might have to reboot your computer just to refresh the connection etc and also reboot the bootloader a few times from that fastboot menu before running the RUU on the computer.

Okay, you have to get into the fastboot option and then run the RUU. Sorry I am having some trouble understanding because you are being a little vague. But to get into fastboot it has to be done before you run the RUU.

So maybe your SD card is mounted or is the RUU running on your computer as we speak?

No you shouldnt need to pull the SD. But I would try rebooting your computer and maybe your phone and get into the bootloader without it connected to your computer. Then connect it and go into fastboot and try what i described earlier.

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.

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.

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

Hi, so I just bought a Xperia S and before doing anything thought I should set a Pattern Lock for security, so I did and now I cant remember the pattern... I bought the phone second hand and so have no guarantee or anything and need a way to get in.
I hadn't even put my Gmail details in yet so thats no use, I haven't installed any recovery or CWM and there is none on there as stock. And USB debugging is turned of...
Ive tried several things ive seen on here but its no use as I cannot use ADB without USB debugging.
Is there any way to get into the phone, past the pattern lock, even for just a second so I can turn on USB debugging, or is there another way to turn it on?
Or does anybody have any other solutions such as ways I can flash CWM onto the device without debugging. As it is a new phone for me I would obviously be happy to erase the data if necessary, I wonder if theres a way to completely erase and reinstall android?
Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks
Dude,
You could try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
In theory it should work.

Sorry I forgot that there is no stock recovery, I havn't ran stock on my XS for a while.
You can try using SEUS to flash the current stock firmware, this will erase all data on the phone and be like it was out of the box.
Hope it helps

There is no drivers folder in my download, its just the actual fastboot program, I guess the download is different in the mac version... when I plug into fastboot, nothing happens... fastboot continues to ask for a device to be plugged in.

I don't know where would borrow a windows pc from... are there any other ways of doing this?

thanks... btu non of that really helped, ive already done most of it, and it doesnt explain the drivers
So.... I GIVE UP!
Is anybody interested in buying a Pattern Locked Xperia S? Im hoping to get a Z instead and so would love to sell this phone. Im sure somebody who knows their way around ADB and FlashTool and stuff could unlock it... And i'm talking really cheap, like £50? Could even use it spares and repairs? It means im losing a lot, but its better than nothing... Private Messege me an offer...
Hello all, I've made a bit of a balls up and appear to have deleted the bootloader on my G3 (D855) when I tried to install TWRP. Every time I start the phone or try to get in to the bootloader I end up on the TWRP screen. I have ADB access but I have no idea where to start to recover from this. I think I may installed twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img instead over the bootloader. Is that even possible?
Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter
I do the Same things first time i flash twrp.
Reflash à kdz with flashtool save me.

Actually, its not what I thought. I've managed to get in to the original bootloader. So the question is why is it taking me to TWRP screen all the time?

if u flashed it via flashify maybe u chose kernel.img instead of recovery
I think you're right, but how do I get do I fix it? I've manged to reflash a ROM and it says it worked but I always end up at the TWRP screen after a reboot.

You've reflashed a kdz?
Btw, this should be in Q&A not in development

I've been trying the the last 2 days to sort this out but have come against a stone wall. I've tried on 3 PCs and I cannot get the phone connected via USB (other than with ADB or MTP). To clarify my situation (as my initial post is probably incorrect)....I have manged to "replaced" the Android OS with a TWRP. Every time I start the phone I end up on the TWRP screen. I can boot in to the stock recovery. I have the correct KDZ file and Flash Tool but can't connect to the phone to re-flash.
Please, any help will be greatly appreciated.
What does it say on the PC when you plug it in?
Is it picked up in Device Manager?
Can you get in download mode?
Yep, its picked up as "G3" but with no drivers. I've downloaded and installed the LG unified drivers without any luck. From other pots I think I should be seeing it as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port"?
Download mode? Not sure what you mean.

Now I know what download mode is! And yes, I'm in download mode now. The drivers have loaded!! Going to try a reflash now.
Thank you everybody who helped, the phone is working again! Clearly what I thought I knew does not match what I actually knew!!
