Hey guys,
I'm in desperate need of some help here.
I tried to install the latest build of Coredroid today, installed all the way to start up screen, then saw safe mode sign.
Rebooted phone.
Straight to bootloader (Android skateboarder page).
In bootloader, volume keys do NOT work, thus, I cannot navigate.
I tried several things, my phone will NOT allow me to boot into Clockwork Recovery, no matter what I do.
I have tried renaming several different roms to PD98IMG and then rebooting, bootloader loads the file then takes me here:
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER
[2] BOOT
[3] RECOVERY
[4] SYSTEM
[5] SPLASH1
[6] SPLASH2
[7] USERDATA
[8] TP
[9] TP
[10] TP
[11] TP
[12] RADIO_V2
[13] RADIO_CUST
I can't select any of these since my volume keys are unresponsive.
Just so you know, the details at the top of my bootloader screen are as follows:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD981000)
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26
Can you guys please offer some suggestions?
I'm in such desperate need of help!
Kind regards,

My volume keys seem to work in boot loader. Strange that it isn't working for you.
What you can do is open up cmd and use adb shell reboot recovery It should reboot into recovery for you.
There's a fair few threads where people report similar things, although there doesn't seem to be a conclusive solution.
I just tried an adb shell reboot recovery in boot loader and it couldn't find the device. Will try a few other things and get back to you.
The command you want is 'fastboot reboot recovery'

Mate I seriously appreciate your help!
Someone suggested downloading a RUU but that didn't work for me either?
I kept getting error 170 (usb connection)

Yes...
You need to get adb and fastboot working. There are plenty of tutorials on here. They both come with the sdk.
Once you have fastboot working its just a case of using that command.
I would use an ruu as a last resort. I don't know about your phone.. but with mine, I have to switch s-on first. So makes it complicated.
Hope u get it sorted. Simply by having bootloader on your phone it means you are recoverable.

Ok, well thanks for the support.
I'll see what I can do.
Hey, So I think I've figured out how to fix your problem. Is your phone unbranded? And the RUU file you have. What steps did you try to get that to work? From what I've read around the forums you can either go into the bootloader. Plug in your USB, and it should come up something like "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen to confirm it. Run the exe and it should take you through the steps. You said you got an error so im assuming thats the steps you tried already.
Failing that, have you got a card reader? If so, you can drop an RUU's pb99img file onto the root of the sd card as Hboot looks for this file when it loads. This will then performs the same action without the need for USB connectivity.
So it's just "pb99img.zip" so delete everything between pb99img and .zip from the filename.

Hello mate, got everything downloaded.
fastboot reboot recovery
Doesn't do a great deal.
After I type it and press enter, the command prompt displays a list of commands and options.
Something along the lines of:
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
update <filename>
flashall
flash <partition> [ <filename> ]
erase <partition>
and so on...
There doesn't appear to be any interaction with the device itself...

Yes, tried the first part, the RUU didn't detect my phone.
With the second part, how do I find the pb99img file?
Can I just download one?
Could you please point me in the right direction?

I'm still no further forward.
Could you please point me in the direction of one of the tutorials you're talking about?
I have searched extensively but I haven't found anything that seems relevant.
Desperately need my phone!

The RUU file you have, It should be about 150mb or something right? and make sure it is the correct RUU file. It should be zipped up and just rename it so it is "pb99img.zip" and make sure not to put it in any sort of folders onto your sd card.
I'm assuming you have the RUU already as you said you tried it already. If not try this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357

the rom.zip found in an RUU is usually 250-290mb in size depending on carrier addons. This is what is renamed to PD98IMG.zip
AGAIN, PD98IMG
And why hasnt anyone asked him if HTC Sync has been installed?
If you plug in your USB cable while your DHD is powered off, does it go into offmode charging? (does the charging led turn on after a few seconds?)
If so, you should be able to "adb shell" into your phone
Ok I think I've actually broken my One X.
I was trying to put a default ROM back onto the system, I had my phone plugged into my PC, and "ran Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X"
STUPIDLY I deleted a couple of files off the SD card in Windows Explorer, and now I cant get into recovery mode for ClockwordMod Recovery (as I'm assuming like an idiot I deleted it somehow)
Literally if I boot the phone it won't go past the HTC welcome screen.
I apologise profusely if this is already covered elsewhere - but I am an absolute noob and do not understand much of the jargon. I shouldn't have messed in the first place, I could cry
1. Fastboot and erase the cache, that will then allow you back into the recovery.
2. Fastboot the boot.img to your phone, as S-OFF won't allow the clockwork to flash it.
3. Don't panic. You can always recover the phone through Fastboot.
I should know, i was once in your position.
thanks for the reply,
I read about erasing the cache, but I have no idea how.
the guide just says type it into your pc
sorry again for being thick!
No problem.
Do you have fastboot open on your pc? if so.
Type : fastboot erase cache
Then download the Boot.img from ARHD, and follow the instructions.
Mike has included a .bat file that will automatically erase the cache and flash the boot image. I suggest going on to his forum and running the file.
I know I have downloaded it (I'm so lost) but the file in my downloads isn't something that opens a program?
Thanks a bunch!
It should have a .bat named install-boot, it shouldn't run a program, but open in CMD with options displayed on what to do next. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
ok I don't have a file called install-boot, just adb, fastboot and a few .dll files. both exe files flash cmd but it doesnt remain open.
any chance you can point me in the direction of this software as it would appear i have the wrong thing!

It seems like we need to get back to basics a bit. Are you familiar with MS-DOS? Those programs are not meant to be run from windows by clicking on them. They are run with command lines typed in a DOS type window that is opened when you type "cmd" into your search box in windows.

sorry, confusing fastboot and flashboot I think,
I'm being told that I'm missing adbwinapi.dll - looking into it
I'm no genius but I'm not usually this bad, just so worried - got the phone 12 hours ago, naturally feeling sick!
ok, followed the steps with flashboot (ran the cache delete and install-boot)
still not let into recovery. it goes past the htc sense screen, all black with a mobile with green arrows in a circle (like a sync) which eventually changed to a triangle with '!' in it.
what am i missing?
You can't delete recovery through windows explorer for the record.

That's stock recovery it sounds like. Just relock your bootloader ( fastboot oem lock) then run an ruu. Then once booted you can start all over.

sorry noob alert again: how do i do this?
Sounds like it has the stock recovery on it. Download the Cwm recovery and you should have a file called recovery.img. Place this file in the adb platform-tools folder. Go to that location in cmd prompt then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or you can find on xda via search one x all in one kit which if you download and open then put your phone in fastboot mode via bootloader will allow you to flash Cwm recovery and should do it for you

int the adb platform-tools folder? again im very very sorry, but where is this?
When you downloaded adb did you download the exe or zip version. If exe download zip version then extract it place the contents on your c drive then when using cmd use the cd commands to get to the correct folder.

ok, I have managed to boot a recovery (i think) and can now get into CWM, only problem now, is that my PC no longer recognises my phone in order for me to put any ROM files onto the SD card so that it can load them?
Yes Cwm does not support sd mount atm. I think you will need to refer to the post by someone saying relock bootloader and flash ruu. You will need to find and download the ruu that matches your device. ie network your on and country ur in. As I'm guessing you have deleted the rom image of the sd or nand backup?

Holding power button and volume down i can boot into fast boot hboot does not let me select recovery.
clockwork mod and rom manager do not show on apps listed.
looks like reverted to stock tmobile rom but s off and htc vision show up so I may be still rooted?

1. True S-OFF is a permanent type of S-OFF. There are ways to do it temporarily. It looks like yours is perm S-OFF.
2. From the instructions that you followed, did you have to put a PC10IMG file onto the root of your SD card? If that file is still there, the bootloader will always look to that file and not allow anything else to be done.
3. Clockwork Mod will not show in an apps list. It replaces the recovery of your phone. It is not an app. As for ROM manager, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe if you can pull logs from your phone we can work on that.
4. Just because S-OFF shows up does not mean you are rooted. If you flashed the stock T-Mobile ROM then chances are you lost root privileges. You can do a quick check by looking in your app drawer for the "Superuser" app. If it is there, you are still rooted. If not, most likely you are not.
Oh! your smart…Yes PC10IMG is still on SD card.
As is superuser.apk and clockworkmod and titamium backup
"Superuser" app is not in app drawer
how would i pull the logs
take the image off sd card and you will be allowed back into recovery, then do a full wipe and flash rom of choice via recovery
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
ok took off image and it allowed me into recovery now i have a cool picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point
update: pulled battery turned it on using only power button goes to tmobile stock screen and works fine. do i need to re root and flash new rom?
need to flash a custom recovery again via fastboot. get the .img from somewhere in xda (or google it)
put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer
connect your phone via usb and boot into fastboot
open cmd on computer change directories to where fastboot and recvoery image are
type fastboot devices (just to make sure its working)
then type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot reboot bootloader
now boot into recovery
now flash rom of choice via recovery

Hello, thanks for all the help.
Am I using ADB AND FASTBOOT or SDK to put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer
sorry a bit confused on what you are asking
after downloading the sdk package you will find a folder probably under platform tools with adb and fastboot .exe in it
this is the folder you want the recovery image
this is also the folder you want to open cmd
right click in the folder and choose open comand here
then you should be ready to use fastboot
(another option is to change enviromenta variables so you dont need to worry about what folder fastboot is in in the future but not necessary right now)

It came as a disk image file not zipped, until I changed the file to just recovery I got an error cannot load.
Once changed it loaded started recovery and failed.
Ive been reading about eng hboot as mine shows "s-off" not "eng s-off" but I don’t know how it applies to this.
did you follow the htc official dev bootloader unlock?

Did you install the HTC drivers on your computer? If you download and install the latest version of HTC Sync it should work.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
and if you have the drivers already, try to disable your antivirus and/or firewall before plugging your device. (it happened to me, my antivirus had too strict settings, preventing HTC drivers to install correctly, and also preventing adb to see my device plugged.)
I did download the drivers but nothing happened.
just a one more question. Is it okay to install the boot.img before the ROM?

Yes, as long as you go back to recovery right after flashing the boot image and install the ROM, otherwise your phone MAY not boot up (it should boot up and work, but it's a digital device)...
try unplugging...and then selecting HBOOT.....it might not give that error ...
still i cant load the fricking boot.img!!!!!!!
everytime i try it says "cannot load boot.img"
any help
hi
It seems like its a problem wiith the path from which u run the fastboot command.....what is the location of boot.img in ur system? is it in the same folder as fastboot.exe? and while giving the command 'fastboot flash....' what is the location that the command prompt is showing?(the working directory)
Once in the bootloader you must select FASTBOOT first and then connect via usb and type in fastboot devices. If it returns a number you're connected. That, may fix your issue.

maybe my sim card is too old please help...and know that I posted this in the correct thread just wasnt getting any views because its such an old thread. Thanks!!!
I'm not 100% sure but I think you're getting that error because you don't have an ENG bootloader (it says HBOOT and not ENG-HBOOT), which means you shouldn't be allowed to flash anything with fastboot commands.
I am also trying to upgrade my radio (kind of, actually it's the rcdata.img) and fastboot just isn't detecting my PC10IMG.zip
You need to have engineering bootloader in order to use fastboot flash. Is weird that it isn't picking it up from the root of the SD card. Are you sure in the bootloader you selected the first option with the power button it should immediately begin to load and detect

I went on #g2root and a nice guy named skorgon helped me out with flashing PC10IMG.zip even if your bootloader does not detect it.
Just open a command prompt and change directory to where you have PC10IMG.zip, then
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
your phone will reboot into RUU mode and show an HTC logo on a black background
Code:
fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip
it will show a progress bar on both the phone and the command prompt will give a text progress. if you see "error: cannot load 'PC10IMG.zip'", make sure your command prompt is in the same directory as the actual PC10IMG.zip file (using Win7, hold shift, right click, then choose "Open command window here")!
when it's done, just do
Code:
fastboot reboot
done!

neither of my desire z's say ENG-HBOOT...
so what have i done wrong?
i followed this guide when rooting http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
if you followed that guide you should have an engineering hboot, without know exactly what you did I can't say why you don't have it. are you rooted and have s-off? do you have a custom recovery?
if so not a huge deal but I tend to use fastboot a lot and would still recommened getting the eng hboot

if the error message was "error: cannot load 'radio.img'" then perhaps real problem was that the command line directory wasn't the place with the radio.img
