[Q] Flash/Root/Bootloop problem

Reads a lot, first post.
Cannot find answer to my specific situation so I hope anyone can help.
ATM my phone boots to HTC logo and Vodafone logo and restarts after (infinite loop) (only when loader is connected)
phone is relocked and RUU wont run because battery life is below 30%. Cannot load any further (loads no longer then an hour)
Cannot unlock phone (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin gives ERROR 0000008 00120000 of not known which error)
Anyone an idea?

Charge the phone by switching off for more than 5 hours

( I'm in Fastboot menu)
when I power down phone automatic restarts to fastboot

In fastboot flash 5.8.4.0 cwm touch then enter recovery. That should get you charging

I get this in CMD
sending 'recovery' <5742 KB>
FAILED <unknown status code>

maybe because bootloader is relocked?

Must be. Unlock it again first.

When I try to unlock I get various errors like 00120000 or 00000008

FIX
problem is fixed. If u have same problem here is how to fix:
In your fastboot/adb folder create .bat file and type this:
"@echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start"
in cmd type fastboot reboot-bootloader (to fastboot USB)
start the .bat and there you can see how far your device is loaded. When it is at 3675 mV stop the program and quick type in a cmd: "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" (the file you got from HTCdev when you were unlocking first time). There, your phone is now unlocked. No need for RUU, just flash the newest CWM (5.8.4.0) and mount your SD, put an mod on it and flash out of ur problems
good luck

[Q] How to flash an hboot with fastboot/adb

Clockworkmod recovery doesn't work(only get a blank screen after I make my selection), and my phone wont boot. I'm trying to flash a rom via fastboot or adb.
I installed fastboot and adb using this guide:
fastboot adb guide
I downloaded htc sync to install the drivers.
I'm trying to follow this guide for flashing a new rom
xda flashing guide
when i try "fastboot -w" the command prompt returns "erasing 'userdata'... FAILED <remote: not allowed>"
it seems the sollution for this is posted here. but i don't know how to flash an hboot. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been searching and all i could find was fastboot commander, but when I try to flash a new Hboot or my recovery image it returns "flash FAILURE"

In clockwork use the trackball to select items, not the power button.
To use most fastboot commands you need an unlocked bootloader, or the engineering bootloader. To chanhe your bootloader you need to be s-off, or do an entire ruu.

Wasn't using the trackball. This is embarrassing. Thanks for all the helpful info, you're awesome.

wow this is funny, but sadly it helped me also

In case you'd still like to know how to do it via fastboot, here are some steps:
Place the .zip in the same directory as the adb and fastboot executables
Double check the md5 of the .zip before proceeding to prevent bricking the device
Run the following commands in command prompt:
fastboot devices //Verify that the device is detected
fastboot erase cache //Not sure if this is completely necessary, but the guide I followed included it as a step
fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.
fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing
fastboot reboot-bootloader //The guide I pulled this info from didn't specifically say that you should reboot to bootloader rather than to Android, but I have seen others mention that you should always reboot to the bootloader first after flashing an HBOOT or radio. I would do this just in case

thehiggins you saved the day

Thanks You
Didn't know I had to be in RUU. When do I need to be in RUU, when flashing the boot or any boot related img/zip ?

[Q] stuck on splash loop

Ok I've looked everywhere but can't find anything solid to help me.
I installed this
rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657
factory reset, put it on sd card, used TWRP to install from zip and install gapps, wiped cache, when I reboot it just loops the HTC splash
What have I missed out? I just can't work it out.
I can still use bootloader and twrp
I've also seen people say go into fastboot and type this and that, how do you type in fastboot?
Thanks in advance for any help

flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the "fastboot erase cache" and you should be fine
go into bootloader and connect your phone to your pc and your click fastboot in your phone and it should say FASTBOOT USB the just type the above in CMD
and one more thing your hboot must be 1.31 or higher

Have you repacked an AOSP kernel with the boot.img ??

cmd doesnt recognise any of those, I don't understand do I have to change the directory to my phone or something?

are you s-off ? is your phone a GSM M8 ?

Did you try the other method, just renaming the RUU to 0p6bimg.zip (<a 0 (Zero) not a capital o (O), naturally...)
What error do you get when the flashing of the RUU fails?
Like mentioned by clsA said, adb devices won't work in fastboot mode, it should be "fastboot devices" to check if it's connected

You changed CID and MID I take it?
CID - GOOGL001
MID - 0P6B17000
Would have helped a bit if we had an idea what the error was.

try and unplug the phone from the pc and hold volume up + power for 10 seconds
when the phone reboots try the ruu again .. if the bootloader says RUU in red don't do the fastboot oem rebootRUU command just go straight to flashing
The RUU flashes very slow are you waiting long enough ?

you have the file renamed just copy it to your Ext - sdcard and let the bootloader flash it
don't forget to delete or rename it on the sdcard before you reboot again or it will flash it again

Yeah this pretty much tells me you didn't properly read the guide to converting your device to GPE. When I mentioned "the 0p6bimg.zip" method I kind of figured you'd know to place it on SD Card and reboot into bootloader so that the bootloader can pick up the .zip file and flash it from there. Flashing in from RUU sort of gave it away there
Method 1
No computer required. Everything else still required. s-off, super CID/gpe CID etc..
1. Rename the RUU zip file 0p6bimg.zip (if your hboot is looking for a different name then rename it to whatever it's looking for)
2. Place the zip on your external SD card
3. Power off your phone
4. Boot into Hboot (hold down vol down as you power on the device)
5. it will load the zip and ask you if you want to proceed
6. Say yes
7. Wait
8. Profit

Didn't say anything about flashing it in RUU mode.

Fastboot.exe has stopped working.

Im trying to root my HTC One M8 and am in the process of unlocking bootloader via the HTCDEV website (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions). I Have.....
booted the phone into fastboot
downloaded the fastboot binary
save it fastboot.exe to c:\fastboot
opened cmd and navigated to c:\fastboot and typed 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token'
as soon as i press return windows gives me an error message that fastboot.exe has stopped working.
Any ideas how to fix this issue??
