So something weird happend with my desire today, I tried to reboot to recovery and it just frezes at splash screen...
cant boot to recovery or fire up the system
I think fastboot works normaly. Cause I can find my phone in cmd /fastboot devices. Is there anything I can flash trough fastboot to fixthis ?
You could first try flashing your recovery image, which you can place to the root of your SD card with a card reader. Then execute the following command while your phone is connected to your PC in Fastboot mode using ADB:
fastboot boot <name-of-your-recovery.img> (your current recovery image)
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>
If what I suggested above does not work, then you could also try flashing back to stock firmware. Try to extract the rom.zip from your stock RUU (found here) and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, then place this to the root of your SD card with a card reader, for instance, and then enter Fastboot mode by first powering off your phone and keeping your finger pressed down on the back button and pressing the power button once. When in Fastboot mode (release your finger from the back button), connect your phone to your PC via USB, and wait for "Fastboot" to change to "Fastboot USB". The zip should then run for you and allow you to revert back to stock ROM.
Note: if you were originally branded, you will also require a Gold Card to return to stock ROM. You can use a card reader to create one using the Gold Card tool in my sig below.

Just to make sure, did you put your device in fastboot mode before attempting to boot/flash the image?
What does "fastboot devices" return?
E.g:
C:\Users\Me>cd..
C:\Users>cd..
C:\>cd android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
/fastboot devices returns HT061PL00341

Ok, then it finds your Desire, thats good.
The things is... you need your rom recovery image/rom image on the root of your SD card, if they are not there, then it will probably return the error you suggested above.
Try using a different phone that accepts MicroSD cards or a USB card reader/Laptop card reader (when you purchased your SD Card, it would have come with an adaptor for the SD card, place the SD card into the adaptor and then try inserting this into your laptop card reader bay).
Then you can try the fastboot commands above having transferred your image to it.
You could even try this in fastboot mode (fastboot USB) in ADB:
fastboot update PB99IMG.zip (name of your renamed RUU file)

OK mate... but if you want DHD, are you aware that you can have these ROMs running on the Desire? They were ported over and contain the same new Sense UI with the Advanced Power Hibernation option, etc.
Do you not think you will be just wasting your money?

well the DHD has a somewhat larger screen. So I think its worth it(to bad it dosnt support hdmi) So if I cant get my desire up and running again I will not be that sad. I sent you a pm. thanks for all the help. Must wait untill the stores are open, to try again. I´ll give you an update tomorrow.

Was your phone originally branded? If it was (and you previously de-branded), then you need to create a Gold Card first (use the tool below in my sig with your card reader).
After you have made the Gold Card, download the following: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip, place to the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, enter fastboot mode (back + power), connect the phone via USB, fastboot will then change to "Fastboot USB". It will check the PB99IMG.zip and confirm its selection, and be prepared to wait a few minutes until it flashes.
you sir are my HERO everything got reinstalled, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I´m 100% back to stock right?
no S-OFF no superuser ?
but I bet I can root it again ...
next question:
how did my phone got messed up in the first place? I know i had eclipse on with usb debugging on. I think eclipse tried to adb push some files over and I just removed the phone from the charger. I'm going to be more careful next time

Yes, you will be back to stock firmware. If your phone was originally S-ON, it will remain as S-ON unless you flashed the modified Hboot (AlphaRev) to unclock the NAND security flag providing full root access to your phone.
There will be no Superuser access when reverting back to stock firmware, unless you went and flashed a modified stock ROM that has root access (software root).
I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks
by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...
It's not loading the img file for some reason..

I have a HTC Desire HD obviously and i tried to gain root the other day.
I tried to use this tutorial found on google : https://sites.google.com/site/mobileandcomputingtips/Downhome/HTC-Desire-HD/howtorootahtcdesirehd
It says for 2.3.3 but i had 2.3.5 when i initiated the process...I know i shouldn't have done that now...but it's too late and now I am stuck and asking for help.
I did all i had to so in that tutorial and now i get this on my phone: see pictures attached.
If i go into recovery i get what you see on the pictures, I can't select nothing it just try to update a missing file or image...
So..if i press "yes" it goes to a screen with a red triangle with exclamation point appears with E: can't open /cache/recovery/command
If i press "no" it goes to the same triangle screen.
Please someone help me.
You need to get a PD98IMG off the root of your SD card. Pop it into another phone or an SD card reader. Then follow the instructions in the guide in my signature for "S-Off no recovery."

"S-OFF no custom recovery:
You need to re flash a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom rom again. Follow these steps:
1) Boot in hboot and choose fastboot.
2) Plug the phone to the pc (you have to see fastboot usb in red in the phone)
3) Open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in the PC.
4) Type (case sensitive):
5) wget http://db.tt/YV7fTEx7 --no-check-certificate (wait until the download is ready)
6) Fastboot oem rebootRUU (that will put your phone in RUU mode, with a black screen with silver HTC)
7) Fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip (it will send the file first and then flash it)
8) When you see OKAY. Finished (near the bottom in the cmd session even if the green bar in the phone is at half way)
9) Fastboot reboot-bootloader.
10) VOILÁ…check and you should have CWM again. "
All you need is to flash a recovery and any of the superuser programs.
In that same thread bananagranola mentioned, in the thread index (second post) there is a recovery image you can flash. With that you'll have a recovery. Once flashed, make a backup of your rom and then you can fiddle around. To get su rights, install any of the superuser apps.
Edit: of course, all of this is under your own risk. The above method is 'safer', however, the file mentioned has been tested by myself and others.
2nd edit: you could also extract the image and use the above method.

I tried to flash a zip file containing the latest recovery image but after entering in RUU mode it failed to open/update/flash the .zip file.
This is as far as I could go.
If you could help me with a good tutorial where I can flash the recovery image it would be much appreciated.
I found some on google but it say that I need to have a rooted phone and ENG S-Off. My phone is only S-off and i don't think I'm rooted...yet.

Seems to be right.
I'm about to cook dinner.....
The link I sent where you got the file from says how to flash it.
You place the pd98img,zip in the root of your sd card (outside of any folders), reboot into hboot which is while phone is off, press and hold the down volume button and then the power button. It will boot into hboot, make a check for the pd98img.zip automatically, then it will ask you if you want to flash it, it will tell you to press such and such button, it will go through the process and then you will be done. Once finished, delete or move the pd98img file from the root of your sd card to where ever you want as long as it's inside a folder or off your sd card.
In that same link you will find the cwm version, the one that you were missing. After a while you will end up flashing the one I gave since it is better than cwm.
So, if for whatever reason doing the above command doesn't work, then you can try with the cwm or simply do the above step with hboot.
If you get stuck on what to do next, you can re-read this very thread or you can read the guide glevitan wrote, the one bananagranola mentioned. The guide was designed to get people started.
Good luck.
Edit: remember to extract/ take recovery.img out from the zip file.

If you are married, buy your wife some flowers and take her out to dinner and tell her how much you love her.
If you have kids take them out.
If it's a girlfriend, same as above.
Parents, samething.

I have read lots of threads with the same error, but, after trying various methods, none of it worked for me...
Yesterday I upgrade my hboot from 1.12 to 1.39 (CID BSTAR301).
The firmware is for my CID, but not the same carrier.
So I relock the bootloader, flash firmware.zip on fastboot, unlock the bootloader again....
Until this, everithing was ok, but when I tried to install a rom, I can't access the sdcard via CWM....
Reboot again to fastboot, and I get the error Failed to open usb master mode.
With adb I push Sky Dragon Rom, but I can't access my sdcard from the rom, neither the pc...
I've tried:
- reflashing the firmware
- fastboot oem format (invalid command)
- reflashing everithing
- Use go-mtpfs
And nothing, I just can't access my sdcard, and I don't have a RUU tu reflash it...
Does anyone have any other suggestion???
Thanks in advance...
BTW, the hboot update was succesful, my HOX is now on hboot 1.39
The failed usb master mode error when you enter the bootloader is because the cable is connected. Remove the cable and try all things again.
Now for the sdcard acces, what happens when you mount the sdcard as a diskdrive inside the recovery ?
Try this :
Flash a new custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
http://db.tt/z07vyksQ
Try this one (rename it to recovery.img)

Now for the sdcard acces, what happens when you mount the sdcard as a diskdrive inside the recovery ?
Try this :
Flash a new custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache

Try this one (rename it to recovery.img)

First, thanks for the answer..
I can mount the 2gb internal memory, but I can't access my 32gb sdcard...
It happens with the old recovery (CWM), and with the new one....
Also, when the phone boots up completely have the same issue...
Yesterday I was trying to send some files via airdroid, but It says that I can't.
Even if I try to format the sdcard, get an error...
Also, adb pus file sdcard pushes the file to the internal memory, not the external one
Strange ! So you select in the recovery the mounts & storage menu - mount as usb storage (last option in the list) nothing comes up in windows ?
Try it with another pc ! Original usb cable, no usb hub ?

Sorry, didn't try to mount...
After checking it works now, thanks a lot...
I'm thinking in post the firmware to update and this solution, if you agree
Yeah why not ....but mounting the sdcard as an usb diskdrive is standard for at least a year already
All good now ? Good
CASE CLOSED !
I have the same issue, ... but the link is dead ::
"Flash a new custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
http://db.tt/z07vyksQ
Try this one (rename it to recovery.img)"
Could you repost it, or put it in google drive, etc. ??? or just tell me which Custom Recovery was ... that worked for that matter please ... =D

The HOX is not S-OFF you need to flash boot.img from fastboot with the command fastboot flash boot bootname.img where bootname is your name of boot.img. Just download fastboot and extract the zip file to c:\fastboot then open cmd go in fastboot with your phone, take the boot.img from your rom.zip paste it in c:\fastboot and then run the command

hi every one my htc one x is unlocked but i have the same error message : failed to open the usb master mode and i don't know what can i do or what are the steps to follow to flash the htc ..please help me
I have googled and searched thread after thread and can't seem to find a solution.
I have 2.3 GB
I have S-off and custom recovery from revolutionary software.
I tried installing the SMS ROM sense 3.5.
Got stuck in bootloop
pulled battery tried a few times.
then i stupidly made the decision to format the sd card and now i have lost everything including the backup i made.
and my second stupid mistake was following some instructions on formatting everything and now I have no custom recovery. I literally only have fastboot and Hboot on my phone now.
PLEASE someone help ASAP :/
1. Flash 4ext recovery as PB99IMG through hboot. Read this for the download and instructions.
2. After you have successfully flashed the 4ext recovery, partition your sd card using this guide. Start at step [4]
3. Copy the the rom of your choice back onto the sd card. Boot into recovery, go to the Wipe section and choose "Format all partitions (except sd card)
4. Flash the rom

If you have a micro sd card adapter you could use that and a PC to copy it over.
If you dont have one, use fastboot to flash the recovery.img instead of using the PB99IMG method. Heres how:
1. Setup fastboot/adb on your PC using this guide. Install these drivers as well.
2. Download the 4ext recovery image from here, and put it into your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory
3. Boot the phone into the bootloader and from there use the volume keys and power to go into fastboot mode. Then plug it into your PC
4. Open command prompt and use the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

At which step? Try a different usb port, preferably the ones on the back if you are on a desktop since they are directly connected to the motherboard.
Also remember the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" . You need recovery twice. The first one is to tell fastboot which partition to flash it to.
