Hello,
my HTC desire has been rooted for like 8 months or so, with Oxygen 2.3.2 ROM installed. Yesterday i had my first problem, my apps began to freeze, and it ended up that my hole phone were froozen. I pulled my battery in and out, nothing happened.
I went into recovery and made a factoery reset, and wiped everything i could (i have read, that it was a good idea) and when i turned my phone up again, i realised that i had deleted my ROM on the phone...
So again... i went in to recovery and tryed to flash my ROM again, but i ran into a problem:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
after i googled and tryed for like an hour and a half, i got it fixed with
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
and as i remember i took my batteri out again, and placed my memery-card into my computer, moved my ROM (oxygen 2.3.2) over again. So i tryed to get into recovery, but now it wont get in there, after i press the POWER-button on "Recovery" it just stocks on the HTC load screen, i left it that way the hole night, and when i woke up, nothing was happened...
i pulled my battery out, and now i got some problems just booting up to fastboot/hboot to.
so the problems now:
problems getting into RECORVERY
Sometimes problems booting to HBOOT/FASTBOOT
If you need any information, please tell me so
PS: Im sorry if my english is kind of bad
You should try flashing a new recovery image via fastboot once you get there. That worked for me when i couldnt enter recovery.

I assume you are S-OFFed so just download a recovery.img file of your recovery, boot into fastboot and flash via fastboot utility your recovery.img file like 'fastboot flash recovery path\to\recovery.img'
Goodluck!
USB functions are working? (Mount/debuging)

"I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot "
This is a bit of a worse situation, as you cannot flash system critical parts such as the recovery image and just restore a backup. This unfortunately means that you will lose all of your data when you attempt to fix the phone.
[STEP1]- Make sure that you have a goldcard. If not, create one from the tutorial.
[STEP2]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP3]- Download the latest WWE RUU from here
[STEP4]- Run the RUU and wait for completion WARNING: DO NOT, BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERRUPT THE PROCESS - THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE - NOT EVEN IF GOD HIMSELF TELLS YOU TO DO SO, OR IF THE US PRESIDENT THREATENS YOU WITH THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR
[STEP5]- Once the phone is booted, you are now returned completely to stock. You will need to re-root again, and I'd recommend S-OFF

SLCD brick?
Try to pull the battery, power on + back (this will get you into fastboot), wait about 10-20 seconds, then connect it to usb. In fastboot utility type 'fastboot devices' and see if it detects your phone. If it does, run an RUU.

I have an Incredible that has Cyanogenmod 7 on it. A couple weeks ago it stopped working in that it would just reboot after the white HTC incredible screen. I can get it to go to Hboot, but if I try to go into Recovery it just reboots immediately.
I flashed a new Hboot successfully, but once it reboots I get stuck in the loop again.
Both Clear Storage and Factory Reset start the boot loop as well.
Anyone have an idea of what I can do or does this sound like a hardware issue? My computer recognizes it, but I'm not sure what good that does me since I can't get it to boot or go into Recovery.
Here's the info from Hboot in case it's helps

I would flash an ruu thru hboot and then do a factory rest from hboot. Then if it boots fine flash cwm recovery thru hboot and then the su binaty thru recovery to regain root. Once you have recovery working again then flash back to cm7 or another rom of your choice thru recovery.
Or you could try to just reflash cwm recovery thru hboot, and then if you can access recovery wipe everything in mounts and storage except sdcard and emmc, and then restore a nandroid or flash a new rom.

I flashed the PB31IMG from here (wasn't the newest): http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
The flash seemed to work, but once it rebooted it went into the loop again. All the options in Hboot just throw it into the same white-screen loop, including Factory Reset and Recovery.
The only thing I see different in Hboot is my radio is now 2.15.10.07.07

Try flashing the recovery and then see if you can access it.
If you have adb setup and have fastboot, you can try to erase the recovery partition by typing " fastboot erase recovery " without quotes into a cmd prompt on your pc. And then flash the recovery from above. Sounds like something is either messed up with your boot or recovery partition or img.
You can also try to use fastboot to erase the boot partition " fastboot erase boot " and then try an ruu again.
I tried both Clockwork 5 and Stock HTC from here: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28
They both boot-looped after flashing.
When I try to go into Recovery now, I get the white screen then a quick flash of a phone image with a red triangle on top.

That red triangle is the stock recovery, try to do a factory reset now or try the sugestions i added to the post above.
Factory reset doesn't work. It shows me a phone with a green circle then goes into the boot loop.
I'll try the ADB stuff later today when I'm back from work. I've never used it before. Thanks so much for helping.
How do I connect to the phone via ADB when it's in Hboot? I just get "error: device not found" Every tutorial I found requires the phone to be booted to use ADB.

Adb will not work in hboot but fastboot will. You can use adb in recovery though, not just booted to the os. The error device not found is probably because you were trying adb from hboot, or because you dont have the correct drivers on your pc. Adb and fastboot are 2 different programs, fastboot is not an adb command. If you need the fastboot.exe file or the drivers you can get them here. http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB-Fastboot-USB-Drivers_v4_(x86)(x64).zip
I ran "fastboot erase boot" and it said "erasing 'boot'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)". Can I try running or flashing something else?
If I run "fastboot devices" it shows my device ID with fastboot next to it so I know it's connecting.
Thanks for putting up with this, can't imagine what caused this.
Hmm not sure, seems it may be some sort of hardware issue or disk failure. If you cant get it to boot after an ruu, and you cant factory reset or access a custom recovery or get fastboot to erase or flash, im not sure what else you could do. My only other sugestion would be to try the ruu.exe that you do from your pc with the phone connected. Flash the stock recovery PB31IMG.zip first before doing so as i believe its required for the ruu.exe. It may work and it may not im not exactly sure how the ruu.exe works as i have never used one, but i believe you just boot into hboot and then run the exe on your pc.
I haven't flashed through Fastboot because I don't know how. I tried flashing a few of the stock images, but I get errors everytime like "whoops: didn't find expected signature" or "archive does not contain android-info.txt".
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Take a PB31IMG.zip ruu ( http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22 ) and rename it update.zip
Put the update.zip file on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file. (Where adb is installed)
Boot into hboot with the phone pluged in to the pc. Make sure it says fastboot in red at the top of the hboot screen.
Open a cmd prompt to the directory where fastboot.exe is (eg C:\ADB\)
Type without quotes " fastboot update update.zip " and hit enter.
Here is some good info on fastboot.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
Should I be able to open the zip on my computer? All the ones I download from that site are invalid according to Windows. This is the one I tried (3rd link on that page): http://pvillecomp.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/Images/Gingerbread-Stock_PB31IMG.zip
I did exactly what you said and got a similar result to before.

Use 7-zip, winzip and winrar dont work the best for android files.
Think I'm just going to give up on this one since the flashing doesn't work...what a hassle. I wish there was some diagnostics tool that would just tell me if the phone is physically broken.
Thank you for taking time to read this!
I have a htc one x international version, i successfully unlocked the bootloader installed clockwormod recovery v5.8.4.0 and rooted the phone installing superSU without any problems.
I have been using some mod rom for a long time, And recently updated BUSYBOX, and then turned off phone. Now and now i cant get passed the htc boot screen, i have tried deleting cache, loading a previous restore img from 6 months ago, rebooting bootloader but none of that worked, here are the details from the boot screen:
p.s if you can get me into the phone, would be a life saver! or stock android 4.x that would be an added "Brucey" bonus.
Thank you again for your time, best regards

To install a new rom i suggest to update the hboot. It's to low for current developed roms/mods.
Post the outcome of

Get you back to stock and update the phone. Then re-root or install a custom rooted rom

It's a command via fastboot. You put the phone in the bootloader where you see FASTBOOT USB in red when you connect the phone to the pc. Then open a command prompt on the pc from the fastboot folder and type in that command.
Download HTC one x fastboot tools. Install htc drivers. Open fast boot tool folder. Hold shift button and right click then chose open in command window from dropdown list. Boot your device into boot loader. Connect your device. Select fastboot in device. Then it should turn fastboot to fastboot usb highlighted in red color. In command prompt type fastboot devices. If your devices serial number appeared in command window then your device is connected. Type fastboot erase cache. After erasing cache reboot.

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_2.1204.127.19_release_271851_signed.exe
Relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
Then keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the ruu with admins rights. Right click the ruu.exe and choose
Run as administrator
It flashes the phone to stock. Boot it up after that and go to settings-about-software update and check for ota ..... Do this after every ota you get until you get no notifications anymore. Report back with issues or when you have updated the phone multiple times.

First one was perfect getting updates galore!
Quick question: My old apps are still on the SD Card, so say i install Whatsapp / WeChat from the PlayStore, and move to SD Card will it link up the old data? or just overwrite the folder so Titanium back up is my best bet.
Just gonna finish them then i guess flash SUupdate.zip or whatever it is and i can use titanium back up to restore my apps.
Many thanks again

Hello everyone!! I have for four hours now, tried to fix my newly bought HTC One X. I have bought this phone, softbricked from a friend for £35, as it was a bargain if I could get the phone to work. Here is my problem:
Phone loads directly into Fastboot when you switch it on. I've searched online, followed countless steps, and it says that I need a RUU file that is higher than my current one. If I can get this file, then I am able to charge it using the USB with script in CMD method, and then follow the steps on the RUU file. My current RUU file number is 4.18.401.4
Now I've searched everywhere for a version higher that's compatible. I cannot find one.
So I think I have to go through the S-OFF method. But I can't due to it booting in fastboot.
From what I know about what has happened to the device. My friend wanted to flash custom rom. He did not do a nandroid backup (He forgot) and then tried to flash the rom which was incomplete. This has left him in Fastboot mode.
All I remember is earlier on when I was experimenting, it saying:
HTC__01 something like that. If that helps at all.
Here is all information about the device. Please!! Please help me!!

No RUU for this high main version you need just to flash custom recovery, then install the rom and flash the boot.img from rom archive and that is everything and the recovery is diferent for KitKat, JB and Lolipop all the 3 recoverys are different

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REPLYING SO FAST! I really wasn't expecting such a fast reply.
So, am I correct in saying.
I find the latest CWM recovery for htc 1x
download it
>>How would I flash it please, through cmd or not, if so, do you have the cmd code by any chance.
Then, I download stock rom from internet, I'm guessing it's going to work similar to the samsungs, I just find any stock rom for the HTC 1 X and it should work fine.
In CWM Recovery, I flash the stock rom as if it were a custom rom.
Wipe Cache
Wipe DavLink
Format
Then flash the boot image and reboot.
I'm guessing that is it and it would work then?
I'm so sorry if I am wrong and you have to explain. This whole S-ON thing and HBOOT is getting to my mind... I'm not used to all this !!
EDIT: i'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say that all three recoveries are different
EDIT2: So when I download the ROM I leave it in the zip folder and just flash like normal. Or do I extract to get the boot.img

You want to install stock JB rom on your phone then:
1. Download Philz recovery 5.15.9 then go in recovery and mount sd card copy your nandroid backup to a folder on the sd card. For flash recovery use command from cmd fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
2. You are in recovery format data,system cache and dalvik cache then restore your nandroid backup
3. Go in fastboot and flash the boot.img from nandroid backup with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Reboot and that is
Also you will have to unlock your bootloader again if it is relocked
Can't enter CWM recovery after rooting HTC G2
I rooted my HTC G2 and want to upgrade ROM.
However, I can't get into ClockworkMod Recovery mode. When I boot the phone using Power + Home + VolDown I get this screen:
i.imgur.com/h7MjBT0.jpg
(Since I'm too new to embed images these are the HTTP URLs)
But pressing VolDown does nothing. After a few seconds it moves itself along to this screen:
i.imgur.com/3kNbdsR.jpg
And finally back to this screen.

Any ideas what is wrong, or what I need to do to get into CWM recovery so I can install the ROM zip from the sdcard? (Or is there another method I can use to load the ROM and gapps?)

You need to remove the PC10IMG.zip from your SD card, after that you will be able to get into recovery
That does indeed allow me to select Recovery, but that boots me to this screen:

What's going wrong now?

Been a while so I can't say for sure, but I believe that is stock recovery
Take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You will find links to various recovery options as well as a fastboot guide to flash the image
Pretty much just download appropriate recovery and flash it like
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Well I can get the fastboot to recognize the phone, but whether I try to "fastboot flash" an "hboot x.img" or a "recovery x.img" I get
Code:
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Which appears to be due to the fact that no Cyanogen recovery is available for the vision-compatible builds!
I have no trouble getting that "recovery screen" I showed in the previous message, but I don't understand how to get anything to actually recover.
So I have this kernel (AndromadusMod) that I want to install, but I'm so confused...

Boot into bootloader and write down all info on that screen, with this I should be able to help further

Initial boot into ClockworkMod (i.e., Power + Vol Down + TouchPad):
Code:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMC-boot
SEP 2 2010, 17:50:38
HBOOT USB PLUG
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
If I select FASTBOOT from that screen then I get
Code:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMC-boot
SEP 2 2010, 17:50:38
FASTBOOT USB
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
At this point if I run "fastboot devices" from the attached computer I get "SH12SRT203241 fastboot".

So right now you do have security flags removed but still a stock bootloader so you can't flash with fastboot
...I'm having troubles with links right now (using an experimental version of xda app) so I'm going to just paste in a quote from an old thread where I was helping someone in a similar situation
demkantor said:
um, md5sum is just well a sum, it is a unique algorithm to make sure the file downloaded matches (complete/ no corruption)
you can flash just the Hboot, but it also makes no difference if you were to flash the same firmware over the same firmware. so you don't need to bother extracting anything. ill post when I get home,
~make nandroid in recovery
~download
~check md5sum
~name PC10IMG.zip
~put on SDcard
~boot to Hboot
~let it run, it will reboot halfway (needs to cycle emmc)
~let it finish
~reboot to recovery (via adb)
~reformat all in recovery
~remove PC10IMG.zip from SD
~restore nandroid and reboot to OS
EDIT:
DROPBOX LINK ill upload to op when i get a minute but for know here is this
md5 for g2:
md5 for dz:
*thanks again to nipqer for pointing out my obvious mistakes creating these!
EDIT:
Not sure if i made this clear earlier - flashing firmware using any method is potentially
dangerous. Although very unlikely if you follow these steps I'm still throwing out the waring.
If at all possible it is still best to use fastboot to flash these as an error will be given
to you and you can fix your issue before you reboot and make things permanent.
The above is also dangerous without having true radio s-off, if you are not sure
if you have true s-off - follow these steps:
download THIS COPY OF GFREE md5sum:
now unzip it and open a command where gfree is on computer - have phone plugged
in, debugging on and screen unlocked (after you type "su" you need to grant superuser permissions.)
Now type:
If this is your output, you are in good shape!
@CID: 11111111 means you have superCID (able to flash all software once locked out of)
@SIMLOCK= 00 means you're sim-unlocked (able to use any carrier's sim card)
@secu_flag: 0 this means your radio is S-OFF (This is the important info needed!)

...looks like it didn't post the links when I quoted.... Check out the fastboot thread from the link I sent earlier... This is post #30 there and those links are still active
If you need help let me know and when I get to a PC I'll link you better
I tried to follow your post, but when I tried su I got "su: permission denied". Proceeding anyway and running gfree_verify I get:
Error: could not open modem device: /dev/smd0
Error: verify could not initialize device!

Per your recommendation here I also wanted to try switching to 4ext, but when I ran fastboot erase recovery I got:
erasing 'recovery'...

Flash the custom PC10IMG.zip I made, the link is in that post #30
Do this like before, put on root of sdcard
When its done you will have an engineering bootloader and 4ext recovery
Then just be sure to remove it off SD in order to get into recovery to flash ROM of choice
That is a great image, and 4ext is a great recovery!
However after I reformatted and restored the AndromadusMod.zip the phone just boot cycles to the "htc" screen.
Attached is a current screenshot of the hboot System Info. Should I give up, or am I close?
You have the g2 engineering bootloader now, but the dz one is needed for most ROMs above ICS as it has a larger system partition, do the same thing you did but this time flash the dzPC10IMG.zip from the post I linked you, then ROM and gapps
I think there's something wrong with that dz bootloader: It only ever offers to update [SD ZIP]. I have to physically remove the sdcard and delete the PCIMG10.zip after it runs its install cycle in order to get into recovery; it's impossible to get it to startup in any other mode that allows sdcard access.
After I do delete the PCIMG10.zip, reformat all but sdcard, and install the ROM (which appears to "succeed" suspiciously quickly) I get the boot loop problem again and have to pull the battery to get back into hboot....
Sounds like a bad download, check the md5sum to make sure its good
Yes, MD5 matches that given in the post.
Maybe I misunderstood, so when when flashing the PC10IMG.zip through bootloader it works and changes your bootloader and then you remove the file off sdcard and you are able to get to recovery?
If that all is working then you are in good shape, try another ROM/gapps
Try a gingerbread ROM just to make sure you can get up and running.
Correct. So I just re-wiped and installed this Gingerbread kernel: http://elite-force.eu/elitemod/MOD_EliteKernel_120319.zip
It took a "reasonable" amount of time for 4ext to install that one.
But now it's doing the same boot cycling as before, though much faster than on the JellyBean kernel I previously tried ?
Is there a known stable kernel I should be trying? Maybe I'm as bad at choosing kernels as I am at choosing women....
Haha,
Well a kernel alone won't help, you will need a kernel and a ROM (and probably gapps too)
Try cyanX, its a ROM I put together a few years back, its gingerbread based but has a lot of ICS and jb features back ported to it
Once we know that is working then move on to newer ones
Ah ha: that does help! Putting a JB ROM on did the trick. For some reason in all my reading I didn't get the message that the ROM isn't part of the kernel....
Thank you for all your help!
