My brother-in-law had his T-Mobile G2 (stock, never rooted) phone for about 2-years and just after coming back from his trip from Europe his phone turned on to the white HTC HBoot/Fastboot screen. He couldn't figure out how to get out of it, so he gave the phone to me.
I'm no expert with Android, more of a noob than anything else. But I want to get the phone to work as my 1.5-year and 3.5-year old boys need a phone to play with without worrying if they break-it. So I've spent about 10-12 hours playing with it, researching everything I could, but got really no where.
What I do know:
* Volume up/down rocker buttons do not work in the white screen
* The phone will recognize a USB connection
* The phone boots up in FASTBOOT mode, but can be forced in HBOOT (via volume down + power-key)
* I can get it to boot up in the OEM 2.3.1 stock BUT it seems like it's asking for a LOCK PATTERN that my brother-in-law can't get through. With enough attempts, it asks for his Google sign-in which doesn't work.
* I've made an attempt in flashing it with a clean PC10IMG ROM to no success:
C:\HTC\Android>fastboot devices

I would appreciate any suggestions, as I'm tired of looking and searching through the forums with no help.
Thank you!
HBoot Screens...
I've attached the HBoot screens with and without USB connection... with the volume rocker not functioning.
Please note that the volume rocker does work when booted in the stuck OEM screen.
Your are safe because Hboot /fast boot is at your disposal, But you are S-ON, that means NO ROOT ACCESS NO RECOVERY! you cant even flash any custom ROM as far i know .. you can take your concern to this Forum Hope you get some Help from Demkantor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983163 :fingers-crossed:

Could be a bad download. Re download the img and try again,
TIP: Rename the img to something like "recovery.img". (A lot easier to type in cmd!!)
thanks for the reply... i've tried downloading multiple times and each time it doesn't work mmmm... just tried downloading again and still the same error
What do you mean 'the phone hangs'?
Have you booted into fastboot mode with the 'fastboot usb' showing in red?
Hi guys!
I FOUND THE SOLUTION! I plugged the phone into a different usb socket and it worked! Weird... i think it was the usb hub that was causing the issue.... possibly due to a faulty/lack of power port? not sure... but now i get

So out there no way to get back to stock rom now. Custom roms are good, but it suddenly unstable for now. may be 1 month or more. I just want to go back for stable and good battery. that is all i need for now. another help please?
I've been playing around with some of the JB ROMs, and was using Goo Manager and TWRP to do it. Then, because I'm an idiot, I decided I wanted to upgrade TWRP to 2.3.3.0 (I think I was running 2.3.1.0).
That's when I ran into the "TWRP doesn't always install properly" problem. I've now tried updating TWRP from within Goo Manager more than 5 times, but it's not working.
So I decided I'd install the new recovery via the FASTBOOT method.
I have HBOOT 0.92. I have ADB and FASTBOOT loaded on my laptop. (I'm pretty sure this is the way I originally installed CWM 5.0.2.0 when I first rooted my phone ages ago.)
When I boot the phone into the bootloader and choose FASTBOOT, then plug it into my laptop, I get the "FASTBOOT USB" indication that it's connected, so that's good.
However, when I open a terminal window on my laptop, navigate to my miniadb folder (where the fastboot.exe and recovery images are located), and try to flash the recovery image, I see the green bar in the upper right corner of the phone, but on the laptop I get this:
c:\miniadb>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-inc.img
sending 'recovery' (3642 KB)... OKAY [ 11.235s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 11.268s
So then I decided to give up on TWRP and go back to CWM, but there's no joy there, either:
c:\miniadb>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img
sending 'recovery' (3064 KB)... OKAY [ 12.370s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 12.402s
What causes the "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" response? Clearly I'm sending the data to the phone, but the phone's rejecting it for some reason.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a foolproof way to get a recovery (either CWM or TWRP--at this point, I'm not picky!) back on my phone?
Thanks!
MC
Check the last two pages of the tarp thread for a twrp hboot PB31IMG.ZIP or see my direct link below.

This method works without fastboot.

Many thanks, tiny! I'll give that a shot.

For what it's worth, I think you need to upgrade HBOOT to 1.02 or 1.07 and unlock it through htcdev to be able to use the fastboot flash commands. But the flashable zip for TWRP should fix it for you too and that way is easier and just as reliable.
So, I've no idea how to do this (noob here). I'm on the VZW HTC One. It's rooted, S-OFF, locked (relocked) boot loader, HTC Dev build. What I'd really, really like to do is completely (and I mean completely), relock/reset the phone. I would use recovery, but I can't boot into recovery. After a bit, it restarts and goes into the regular boot. I've tried to flash the default/stock recovery image, but every time I try I get this:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (16383 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.167s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.201s
I've got USB Debugging on, so I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong here. I've spent a lot of time looking, but I couldn't find anything that actually fit what I needed.

First you need to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash items.
Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470340

Hi
I have tried going back to Sense stock after trying out GPE edition lollipop flavour.
Unfortunately somewhere along the way something has gone horrible wrong and I'm now stuck in a bootloop with a Red Triangle
My bootloader is currently locked, althougth I am S-Off. I can still access fastboot and RUU but the problem is when I try to flash standard or twrp recovery i get the following error message
From RUU
./fastboot flash recovery recov.img
target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16092 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.442s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.447s
So I currently have no os, no recovery and no way of loading a recovery back on as you can see above... am I screwed ???
Have now managed to put stock recovery back (via ruu) on and at the top of the screen it says entering recovery but never gets any further ...
Have tried again to install twrp ... no joy there what so ever
Dont' Worry I got the same problem but I fixed it!!
