Hey all you smart people.
My sister-in-law's HTC One X started boot looping, she's been running with ARHD for a while, and just out of nowhere it started boot looping.
It's hard charging the phone since she doesn't have the newest CWM. So first thing I try, flash new CWM with fastboot.
I get SUCCESS, erase cache, and boot into CWM just to see version still showing 5.8.2.7.
So I try again, and again, and again. Using different cables, computers, reading every post on all forums I can find. Nothing.
She did have a nanbackup, flashing that didn't do a thing. Reflashing rom, doesn't work. It's like I don't have access to anything.
I try and shutdown the phone, connect cable, adb push recovery to the phone. I check though adb shell that the file is there. But when I boot into recovery, it's not.
I tried mounting /system and formating system to get it to charge that way. But it's doesn't format /system.

Also when doing fastboot reboot-bootloader, it simply reboots and doesn't enter bootloader.
I tried flashing with the RUU, but that doesn't work.
I'm at a loss here. I'd really like to save her phone, but I'm out of options?
Anything you can think of I would really love some help.
All I can think of is kernel related.
Maybe she flashed a new kernel and then somehow didnt install the kernel modules zip? Or had new kernel+modules but decided to do a nandroid restore (which restores kernel module files but not kernel itself).
Try flashing stock v2.17 kernel in fastboot. See if that helps.
Btw: command for bootloader is (adb reboot-bootloader) not (fastboot reboot-bootloader).
You should be able to enter fastboot mode by forcing a reboot then immediately holding vol down and power, it can be tricky but keep trying.
In fastboot mode you should be able to flash the new recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". You can also flash the boot.img of a new rom using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Now you can boot into the newly flashed recovery and flash the new rom

Taken from fastboot help
Code:
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
But I'll try and reflash stock kernel. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't think you've read my entire post. I tried flashing a new recovery image, nothing happens. I get success reply from fastboot, reboots and finds same old recovery.
I tried flashing boot.img from custom rom and stock. Nothing happens.

Hi i've messed up in partition menu in recovery and as a result my phone boots in fastboot, from fastboot i can get to bootloader only cant get to recovery because it stops on htc screen. Ive always used custom recovery to change roms because ive got hboot 0.83.0001 and my mobile always stopped on htc screen every time i tried to fire up recovery using power button + down.
I used android sdk and find out that only fastboot commands work ie can see my device number (when I use fastboot devices command it gives me HT07PPL01815 fastboot). I've tried to restore android backup using fastboot flash system, fastboot flash boot, fastboot flash recovery but it gives me
sending boot <2560 kb> .....okay [0.401s]
writing "boot"......INFOsignature checking....
failed <remote signature verify fail>
My boot image is missing as well, is there anybody how can help me what to do?
You can of course not flash your backup using a s-on hboot as it only allow files signed by HTC.
If I were you I would flash a stock Rom, which can be done via fastboot. Then just reroot afterwards
I have used RUU for SLCD screens and it helped
I think I should first tell what happend and then what I did so far.
I got the phone from HTC and got a OTA update to 1.72. For the rooting process (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2) I first downgraded the phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886023). After the rooting process I installed the Ginger Villain 1.5 rom and everything worked fine until my phone decided to turn off one night.
What I now got is a phone which is stucked in the white screen with green HTC logo. Nothing happens even after 10, 20, 30 minutes waiting. Starting the phones bootloader works. Here are the Version information:

I have no adb access. Drivers are installed and (normally) working on my 32-bit windows 7 laptop. If I enter fastboot, I can use fastboot commands.
I try to remember all things I tried recovering the phone:
1) recovery from fastboot (v1)
- phone into fastboot
- >fastboot devices --> phone shows up
- >fastboot flash recovery c:\...\recovery.img --> Error: FAILED: remote not allowed
2) recovery from fastboot (v2)
- phone into fastboot
- >fastboot devices --> phone shows up
- >fastboot erase cache--> works
- >fastboot oem rebootRUU --> now the phone tries to boot normally or just boots the normal bootloader again
- same problem as in 1)
3) recovery from fastboot (v3)
- downloaded another fastboot version form here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/fastboot.zip
- tried 1) and 2) again -> same error
4) PC10IMG.zip recovery
- I downloaded the PC10IMG.zip from the downgrading process again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261)
- put it on the sdcard
- bootloaded reads file and processes it correctly
- nothing happend > same boot loop
5) PC10IMG.zip recovery with custom recovery.img
- took the PC10IMG.zip from downgrading
- replaced the recovery.img with a GV1.5 recovery.img from a friends Desire Z
- same as in 4)
I hope i did not forget something. Please help to recover the phone.
I am in the exact same situation. No ADB, No Recovery, fastboot but no ENG HBoot, and stuck at the HTC screen. I was hoping there was a way to flash clockworkmod recovery using a PC10IMG or something so I can run a nandroid restore and have ADB access back.
EDIT: I found a modified PC10IMG.zip that restored CWM and a stock android build. From there it was simple to get back to CM7. You can find the file in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10583834&postcount=33
Thanks for your reply. I did not get it to work again. But maybe your link will help many other people.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have some problem . no adb, no recovery...
I had the same problem. I eventually just found a stock 2.2 PC10IMG.zip, flashed it, then rerooted, reinstalled recovery, then recovered my backup.
Hello
My sister was thinking she could crack my pattern lock, she didn't now the fone is stuck on the sign in screen (3g / wifi disabled)
Wanted to wipe the phone completely, but my volume up button is broke so i can't confirm it
Booting into fastboot mode and doing a fastboot -w
results in a erasing 'userdata'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I found something about a 0.77 engineering hboot, but could not find it
So how can i wipe the phone?

Kind regards
1. Boot into fastboot (back + power), and flash a custom recovery (4ext recommended) using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
2. Boot into recovery, perform a full wipe, copy rom to sdcard, flash it.
Aint there a factory reset option in bootloader? Cant remember on the desire, been a while lol.

Yes, but I think it requires the stock recovery.

philz is zip you must take recovery.img from zip archive after this put the recovery.img in fastboot folder, then run command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then fastboot erase cache and your bootloader must be unlocked via htcdev.com be sure it is unlocked. And if you do all my steps please post screen shot from cmd to see if the recovery is flashed succeed
and please post the result from command fastboot getvar all and post it here and how you see the phone in device manager like APX mode or android device?
My Desire Z was previously running official updated Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I did the following.
1. unlocked bootloader from official HTCDEV.
2. installed CWM 6.0.4.5 with fastboot from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561226
3. According to instructions from this link http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/03/13/update-htc-desire-z-android-422-aosp-jelly-bean-custom-rom/2/, in CWM recovery, I wiped data.
4. Then I installed Custom ROM AOSP 4.2.2 zip and Gapp received from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163579
After that, and Now, no matter how I try, my Desire Z cannot boot anymore and hanging only at HTC logo white screen.
-I can only go to fastboot mode and go to CWM recovery 6.0.45.
-I tried wipe data, cache, dalvick cache from recovery, but still cannot boot.
-This is the detail of the bootloader and system:

-I saw s-on when I power on at bootloader mode. I don't know how to root and make s-off.
-I cannot use ADB because I cannot boot and my adb cannot find the device in bootloader/fastboot mode.
-In CWM mode, my adb saw it as "SH118RT01215 recovery" with adb devices command.
-So with CWM mode, When I run "adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator" command, I received "cat: read error: Invalid argument"
-When I run "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" after "adb push", it shows "no such file or directory"
-I tried to do instructions given as on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 but received errors.
-I also tried instructions from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread) but no luck.
I would like to install custom ROM and use Android 4.x on my Desire Z.
What should I do now? Please help. :crying: :crying: :crying:
Being you are s-on, after flashing a custom ROM in recovery you need to boot into bootloader and flash the kernel via fastboot
Unzip the ROM, extract the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
After this when up and running I highly suggest relocking your phone and following the steps to downgrade and root via gfree
