[Tip] Flashing firmware without adb - HTC One X

I'm not responsible for anything going bad, if you dont know what this command is used for dont use it.
For those who can not boot into current ROM, or have troubles using adb; to use this command "adb reboot oem-78" after locking their devices, you can simply use "fastboot oem rebootRUU" to get into the black-bootloader screen to be able to update hboot/firmware(from bootloader screen).
Cheers.

thanks

Tied everything to root swift, cant get past initial fastboot stage

hi all, sorry if this has beeen posted before but its bugging me as i spent literally 4-5 hours lastnight trying to sort it, i havee rooted 4-5 android phones in the past but im just having no luck with this one
i installed adb / fastboot minimal, enabled what needed to be enabled in developer options on the swift, booted the swift into fastboot mode, then when i run adb on my computer, the first command works 'fastboot oem unlock' but after that its constantly saying 'waiting for devices' whenever i try the next phase of commands ie. fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go etc it just wont detect the device at all in windows on adb, is there any suggestions anyone could throw out there before i end up sending it back and getting an alternative android phone thats easier to root? the only thing i can think off is its a usb driver issue? but i installed the gloogle usb drivers and it picks up the phone for file transfer etc so im not sure if this is the issue. many thanks!

Hi,
I had the same issue. When that happens, do commands without the -i 0x2970 bit. So for example:
fastboot -i 0x2970 erase recovery
becomes:
fastboot erase recovery
Hope this helps

I tried this but it still says 'waiting for any device' My initial command worked for fastboot oem unlock, but then I just couldnt do the following commands, and as a result whenever i tried to install a custom recovery / rom it gave me the error along the lines of 'unable to verify....'
edit: when i missed out the -i part, then said its already unlocked. however i still am not able to install supersu or the recovery as it still gives me the error 'signature verification failed'

Hi,
OK, what recovery are you trying to install? I would recommend TWRP 3.0.2 by Beroid (in the development section) because it's easy to use and it works. Get the image and put it in your adb folder is. Make sure you are in fastboot. Then run commands
- fastboot erase recovery
- fastboot flash recovery (name of file).img
Disconnect the device from your computer. Then remove the battery. Then replace the battery and press VOLUME DOWN and POWER to rebbot in to recovery mode to verify the installation.
You should now be in the recovery. You can flash custom roms and supersu within this new recovery.
Hope this helps

Need help! Bootloader / fastboot unknown issue!

Hi everyone,
I´ve been trying to install twrp recovery in my Huawei Ascend P6 via fastboot. I followed this "techglen adb and fastboot guide"
I already installed everything needed for adb conection.
So I connect my phone in MTP mode and use "adb devices" and my device appears normally, but the problem happens when I reboot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode and use "Fastboot devices" it appears a device conected but with a bunch of "?????" and a smiley face at the end like this:
C:\Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
123456789 device --------> bunch of numbers appear normally
C:\Fastboot>adb reboot bootloader --------> Phone restarts into bootloader mode (shows huawei ascend logo)
C:\Fastboot>fastboot devices
????????_?_???_?<??????? fastboot ----------> WTF (this is exactly what appears)
I would like to know if there's something wrong with my phone
Should I proceed and flash the custom recovery?
I have stock android 4.4.2 (rooted with kingroot) and stock recovery.
I am a total noob at this so I need your help :crying: I dont want to do anything stupid. (If already did let me know lol)
I have the same issue. Problem is that phone is bricked, so I can only enter in recovery (official, unrooted, unlocked) and fastboot mode.
Have you managed to solve or have some hint?
I have experienced a inconsistency while using minimal adb and fastboot. While device not showing i could send command and the phone would respond. After going into bootloader and while my device wasn't shown in the list i could flash twrp without much trouble, helped me go back from being stuck on bootanimation. used the command fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img (where xxx is the name recovery name). If you can get into boot loader try fastboot reboot bootloader and if the phone responds you might be in the same situation i was.
Always remember: Messing with recoveries bootloaders and boot images might make your phone unusable so do it at your own risk
Have you actually tried to flash twrp? Did you put the img file of twrp to the minimal adb and fastboot folder? If so, try the commands 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img(<-- use the name of twrp file here, so not the exact name wrote here) and reboot. My phone is a bunch of question marks as well and it flashed twrp just perfectly (I got it frome here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632542)

Now the phone starts normaly but I can´t start fastboot. When the phone is off and i press Vol down + Power the phone start the android system and the Huawei logo is coming not the fastboot Modus. I can see my phone and the order under Windows but i can not control my phone with the fastboot command. (example: fastboot device. the answere ist searching devices, but it comes no resolution) I loaded the last version of Fastboot, but the problem is the same.
Please can you help me. What can i do? Many thanks for your help!

And when you use adb to reboot to bootloader, what happen? Do you have "Minimal adb and fastboot tool" installed?

Sorry for my question, what´s the differents about adb and fastboot tool? I have install the last version of minimal adb and the fastboot tool, also the Windows driver for the phone. Debugging is on. I try to connect my phone about the fastboot terminal. When i try to set the phone into the bootloader mod with the fastboot terminal and the equivalent command, fastboot say´s "searching phone". My phone does not react.

So, you connect your phone, open minimal adb and fastboot too, run "adb devices", you see device id? If yes, run "adb reboot bootloader" . Phone shoult reboot to fastboot mode. Then run "fastboot devices" to see if it is connected properely.
i did it, like you described, but i see not my device id. Only the note "seach device"
Is it possible that TWRP is defect on my device? Is TWRP necessary for fastboot or only for root?

No, you should be able to use adb and fastboot with stock recovery.
After first adb command you shoult approve authorization on your phone.
Here is screenshot from minimal adb...
Phone must be in MTP mode.
And here is phone in fastboot
Many thanks for your help, now I m in my bootloader.
2 problems i had.
1. My daemon was not started correctly, i have not seen my device.
2. I used the wrong command. I started with fastboot, not with the command adb device. I tap „fastboot reboot-bootloader“,but the correct command is “adb reboot-bootlader“
Now i have seen my phone is unlocked, i hope i can root my android 6.

Bricked Xiaomi Mi 6

Hi,
I bricked my Xiaomi Mi 6.
My phone was bought in china, I unlocked bootloader and flashed global version.
Lately I flashed TWRP and Magisk.
Than I wanted to come back to stock and lock bootloader, so I flashed global ROM, everything was fine, stock recovery came back, so I used command "fastboot oem unlock" (I couldn't use Mi Flash, because it just stops working, when I'm trying to do anything). Than phone kept starting only to fastboot. I could also start phone to recovery, but not to system.
So, using MI Flash Unlock I unlocked bootloader again. And now I still can only enter to fastboot or recovery, not to system. And, my PC doesn't see the phone. I don't see the phone after typing adb devices to Command Prompt, also Mi Assistant doesn't see phone. I wiped everything through recovery, but it didn't help.
Please, help me with unbricking the phone. It doesn't need to be with locked bootloader or so, I just want phone to work...
I don't think it is bricked in fastboot the command should be fastboot devices not adb devices try that command
Hopefully someone here has more knowledge to help you sort it out.
You should format your userdata from fastboot that's why you can't boot into the system.
I suggest you to read this https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-install-drivers-xiaomi-mi6/ page before anything and then get XiaoMiFlash from that page, install it. It will also install fastboot and adb drivers for you.
Then I suggest you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 adb & fastboot tool since it's easy to use.
After getting miflash ready with the drivers and also the tool from the second link,
Reboot to fastboot and type
fastboot devices
After seeing your device type
format userdata
Then find a twrp image if you'd like to install any custom rom and install it from fastboot (you can find how to do it in their respective threads) or download miui from miui site then follow the instructions there go back to stock. But in case of the latter you may not to select lock bootloader option in miflashtool in case you may want to experiment with custom roms in the future.

Is it any possible to unlock the Bootloader?

I've been trying to unlock the Bootloader for this day and seems that my Honor 9X (4 GB RAM, 128 GB Storage with one SIM and one SD Card Slot) can't get past the bootloader unlock. Since I wanted to change the ROM due to upcoming Harmony OS Update that might happen anytime. Plus, it would be easier for me if there was an official TWRP Support, but even the creators behind the project does not even offer an official build for it.
I am not an expert at coding the TWRP for my device itself, and I am not a Windows User since I changed the primary OS to Linux (to Ubuntu 20.04). Can't install HiSuite (even with wine, for some reason) and even with an unlock code, I cannot unlock the bootloader.
Here is what I tried so far:
Reboot the device into the Bootloader by using ADB (my easiest way)
Check if Fastboot recognized the device
Ran fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock (my short unlock code), fastboot oem unlock
Restarted Fastboot multiple times using fastboot reboot-bootloader
For every command, Fastboot showed me either "invalid command" or "command not allowed". I don't know if I am doing anything wrong, but for some reason, Fastboot gives me an error if there is some command included with the words "oem" or "flash(-ing)". Tried wiping user data and cache with Fastboot and even this is a problem. Any command that might manipulate my phone won't let me perform the task that I want my phone to do.
Is my phone bootloader protected, or what is the issue that I cannot unlock it nor modify any contents?
I might address that using ADB from Recovery is not an option from me. Starting recovery (from ADB and the boot combination) and checking with ADB if the device is found. Nothing. Going into eRecovery changed only a bit, but ADB recognized my device this time. When my phone is in eRecovery, ADB finds the device, but it is unauthorized, meaning I cannot perform any tasks. If I don't get to know what this issue is causing, then I'll throw my phone out of the window.
