[Q] Power button respond prob and Hboot prob

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?

" [2] ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS
S-OFF
"I'm S-OFF, I can't boot recovery and my phone doesn't
boot"
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?

If link is down then use any other recovery from the recoveries section.

[Q] Q Please help stupid noob. Tried 2 install new rom and failed.

Hey all. Tried to install new rom and now all I have got is the white HTC screen. Problem is I cant access recovery to fix it, tried pressing power and volume down button but all it does is reboots. Please help and i promise not to touch my phone again.

Did you flash the boot.img file with fastboot commands ?
Try this : connect the phone to the pc and open a commandprompt inside the fastboot folder then type
Fastboot reboot bootloader
or
Adb reboot bootloader
This should boot you to the bootloader and from there you can acces the recovery !

ah no, oops. I shouldnt be messing with my phone coz I aint got a clue what Im doing. How do I do what you just told me

How did you install the recovery then ?
But try this then
Download these files
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put them on the pc looking like this
C\fastboot\files i gave you
Then install the HTC drivers (google) if you didn't do that already
Open a dosprompt inside the fastboot folder and type
Fastboot reboot bootloader
or Adb reboot bootloader
If that doesn't work hold down the power button and the volume - button together as long as it takes to see the bootloader !

First off thanks for your help. Tried that but still nothing. I got a htc all in one toolkit but it aint reconnising my phone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you and a million times thank you. Im in recovery, yay. Thank you again.

Then you have to install the java sdk platform tools too ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605720
Read this too carefully...
But did you get in by holding the buttons or the commands, and what recovery do have at the moment
Please answer the questions carefully and right, so i can help you the right way

Will read that thread now. Got into recovery by holding the buttons down for what seemed like10 mins. Got clockworkmod recovery.

Oke wich one ? Is it 5.8.4.0 if yes leave the phone sitting in the recovery because it will charge the battery ! Leave it connected to the pc or wallcharger. You should see a red light of charging !
And try to get the fastboot stuff working its necessary to flash the kernel and maybe a different recovery if the one you are using is to old.
But how did you flash the recovery ?

I don't know which ROM you were flashing but here is what you can do:
Things I expect you have done already, according to your posts:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Installed recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery)
Things to do before you start:
- Install HTC drivers (and reboot the computer afterwards to make sure everything's working)
- setting up the fastboot files like Mr Hofs told. (so put adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe in C:\fastboot\)
- Get the ROM (.zip) you wanted to flash, because eventually you still want this ROM .
- Have the ROM (.zip) on your phone, so you can select it in the recovery for direct installing. I will tell you how you can put it on your phone anyways so it's not a big problem if you haven't done this yet.
Now let's get started:
- Open the .zip and extract the boot.img inside this file to C:\fastboot\.
- Start up your phone in bootloader (hold volume-down, press power button)
- Select "FASTBOOT" with the volume keys to go up and down, then press power to activate it.
- Plug in the USB cable into your computer and phone, this will make your phone say "FASTBOOT USB".
- Open up the directory C:\fastboot\. Hold shift and right-click in this folder (not on a file!). Select "Open command window here".
- Now type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Now you should see "SUCCESS". Now type "fastboot erase cache".
- Go back to your phone, and select "HBOOT", after that select "RECOVERY".
- Once loaded in recovery, select the following things:
- "wipe data/factory reset";
- "advanced" -> "wipe dalvik cache";
- "mounts and storage" -> "format /system"
- Additional tip for placing ROM on your phone! Select "mounts and storage" -> "mount USB storage". Now you see that you can put files on your phone by your computer. So place the ROM you want to install somewhere you like to.
- Press "unmount" on your phone.
- Press "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> "directorytoyourrom/YOURROM.zip"
- Now reboot your phone, and see the magic happen!

Dude ... did you bother to read back the few posts ???

I did actually, and read carefully. But I guess not careful enough, please explain what I missed.
He said he could get into recovery. So my assumption is also that this is CWM 5.8.4.0, because the most recent toolkits got this versuib,
So that's where I started off from.
The only mistake I could have made is not thinking of his "i promise not to touch my phone again."
But he wanted to try, it 'failed' and got a little scared. This is no reason to reset everything to stock and never try again.
Plus the fact that he now knows how to get into recovery is already a big plus, so you won't actually have to start all over.
And
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't I clear enough to make it understandable for a 'noob'?

No its all about the amount of info ! Its one big post with to much info ! Let it go step by step as he stated he does not have a clue what he is doing, let him easy understand a small piece of text and get it working !

Part of your problem could be is that you have fastboot ticked you need to untick fastboot on your device and then you when you press volume down press power and hold both keys and you should boot right into boot loader with no problem

I understand, sorry for that.
I was also looking at the big picture: Maybe another 'noob' would pass by with the same problem, and wants to know how to do it too and might find it helpful.
But let's not go too far off topic.
I'll leave the specific help to you.

[Q] Black Screen

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:

first thing, when you get your phone back access the bootloader, hit fastboot and connect the phone to the pc (then after some seconds try vol up or down), it should say fastboot usb. tell me if it does (write it here)

When It's turned off, I hold the volume down button and power button together for 10 seconds. Then I let it go, but there's no bootloader mode. Before I sended it to the manufacture, I somehow did it, but I don't remember how.

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!

Do you mean this?

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

adb/fastboot and constantly rebooting

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.

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 .

HELP blink sleeping android error on normal boot(not on recovery mode)

I can't boot up my device it's have blink sleeping android error. (my device is ze551ml running WW_2.19.40.22 firmware and never ever ROOT!!! )
I tried hold power button and press volume up button but its doesn't work.
I also can't access to recovery mode too.

Before this problem happen I get in to recovery mode try to wipe cache but i miss press and i selected "apply update from adb"
and that time my phone doesn't connected with PC. I don't know what to do so I turn off my phone.
then I open recovery mode again and select wipe cache then I go out to take a bath.

So anyone have a solution for my problem. please I really need your help!
Sorry for my bad english

Hi,
I had this when I went to wipe my system cache and it failed. Your best bet, especially if you can't get into recovery is to fastboot flash the recovery again if you have an unlocked bootloader.
If you don't you'll want to unlcok the bootloader and follow the instructions for using ADB if you're new to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596

If you hold volume down and power, it should go to bootloader first, then you have your choices for recovery....Get it to the bootloader screen, then run the commands to unlock it...

Could you please tell me everything step by step on how to cure my phone?
I'm very noob.

okay thank you.

Glad you have it working...It seems that wiping the system cache can be problematic at times - Perhaps it's a bug.

Hey I'm having the same problem, how'd you get the computer to recognize that the phone was plugged in? My computer does not recognize that the phone is on when I have the flashing error screen, so ADB doesn't recognize that there is a device connected.

Hi,
I had the exact same problem, and I managed to boot up again thanks to you!
What I did :
Install ADB and Drivers
Boot my phone into Fastboot (Power+Volume Up at boot, keeping VolumeUp button pressed while booting). Don't go into any menu (do not select recovery or so). At this point your computer should recognize your Android phone when you plug it in through USB.
Open up a cmd with admin rights, navigate to adb install path by typing : cd C:\adb
Then type : fastboot erase cache
It should trigger an action on your device, and the prompt should display sth like "Cache successfully erased" (I don't remember exactly)
Finally type : fastboot reboot, press volume up while booting again, and access Recovery like usual!
Now you can try wiping your partition cache again.
Worked like a charm for me! Thanks a lot
