I download
place in fastboot folder

and then I use this command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
it's all OK
change HBOOT 1.24 to 1.36
But
My phone is always in bootloader mode
can't go to OS, CWM, factory restart,
lose SD Card
Now in bootloader mode show
Battery level is too low to flash
I can't do nothing
I power down it
So please tell me how to do it and who can help me

You can't S-Off

you just need to unlock your bootloader and it'll work

AFAIK the phone charges even when it is switched off
and you are at least in bootloader - you can install a recovery such as CWM or TWRP (TWRP recommended)

He can't do anything !!! Batt is to low !!! He needs to run the script from this thread to slowly charge the batt up to a level that is high enough to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. From the custom recovery he can charge it full and start flashing roms

I'll try it:good:

S off means security off. Htc has stopped it from happening for security. But people with super cids, like 111111 have soff. These are dev phones. U can only unlock bootloafer. Install custom recovery and flash kernels or bpot.img from pc. With soff. U can do so from phone itself

now my phone is full charge. it's I think
So please show the way to me

Unlock the bootloader, if you still have the unlock.bin file you can copy it to your fastboot folder and flash it (otherwise you have to unlock it with the htcdev site)
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and flash it
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now download a custom rom you like and mount the sdcard as a usb disk in the recovery and copy the rom.zip over to it. Then open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to the fastboot folder on the pc and flash it
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Then enter the recovery and do a full wipe
Then install the rom : install zip from sdcard and continue the steps you see !
Note : flashing recovery and boot.img have to be done with the phone in fastboot usb mode
Should do it :thumbup:

Dear Sir
I can install CWM
but big problem is my phone unknown SD Card
so
how must I put ViperX3.2.0.zip file to Phone's SD card????
I already test
db push rom.zip /sdcard/ .... can't
fastboot oem rebootRUU ...... can't
fastboot flash zip ViperX3.2.0.zip ...... can't
please let me know Sir

It should be possible to mount the sdcard as an usb drive inside the recovery, look under the tab
Mounts & storage
and check the option at the bottom of the list. If that doesn't work you can try to flash this recovery and try in there
http://db.tt/aYgw4fuh
Note : the boot.img file has to be flashed from fastboot usb mode like the recovery and the viper rom.zip has to be flashed from the recovery !
With the option install zip from sd card

Same Problem
hi i have the same problem, im on hboot 1.36 and wanted to know if it worked out for you and when you reboot your phone in the htc white screen does it show a red text under it that say something about that this build is for development purposes??

oh rite, thats a balls. Dont think theres any other way. Try taking the phone apart and cleaning the buttons. ul be surprised at the dust there. Hopefully that will work. If it dont then the only other way is to flash an ruu via bootloader. What does ur phone say in bootloader?

Did you try running the adb commands that jmcclue listed above while in hboot?
Maybe try running fastboot commands such as "fastboot devices" to see if its recognized.

Hi Capone5,
One way to do it, is by downloading a recovery img ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791371[/url] or [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474327[/url]) unzip and put it in the fasboot folder, plug phone in fastboot mode and type 'fastboot boot [filename].img'
Hope this helps

You dont do "adb fastboot devices". You do "fastboot devices"

adb only works when phone is booted or stuck at boot animation, thats why i said try turning on phone then try adb while it bootloops r stuck at splash screen but his phone boots straight into bootloader. Also there is no command for fastboot to reboot recovery. Personally i would take phone apart and clean buttons, worth a shot.
@ op what boes it say in ur bootloader ?

Would fastboot work without selecting it in hboot? If fastboot is able to detect the phone, then he can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into a touch based recovery like 4ext (without actually flashing it).
Heres his bootloader:

the buttons of volume are broken and i try everything to just press - and nothing hapened...how can i load a new recovery threw fastboot?

Check your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory to make sure the fastboot.exe is there.
If its not there, redownload the sdk and setup adb/fastboot using this guide. Also make sure you install these fastboot drivers
Then try "fastboot devices" again and hope that the phone shows up. If it does you can boot a recovery by doing this:
-Download the 4ext recovery img from here
-Extract the zip and put the recovery img in your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory
-Run "fastboot boot recovery.img"
If its not showing up in fastboot im not really sure that you have any options, other than to do what jmcclue suggested.

Yep it works. Im trying to compile TWRP for the desire, so i use that command to temporarily test it rather than actually flashing it.

ASUS ZE551ML bought abroad and can't update

Good day,
sorry for going direct to the point but, i'm having trouble with my ze551ml, as it was not yet available in my country a few months back, i bought it online, and it seems the original firmware was CN, and it was just converted to WW before it was shipped to me, as i bought it via CC, i didn't return it to the online store. now the problem is that, i want to update the software but it always fails, even if i did manual update.
Device info:
-device is rooted(it was rooted already when i got it
Build number:
LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.13.40.13_20150401_8390_user
044030427_201501060109
0010000500001
Kernel Version:
[email protected] #1
Wed Apr 1 00:31:25 CST 2015
Baseband Version
1509_5.0.18.00_0320,1509_7.0.10.0_0320
CPU-Z
also wondering, this was supposed to be a 64 bit phone right? but in the cpu-z it says
Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z3560 1.83GHz
Cores: 4
Architecture: x86
CPUID: 6.5a.0
Codename: Moorfield
Process: 22 nm
P.S: is it possible to update if i flash the latest firmware?
BTW: Are these info safe to share?? Thanks

Yeah it's OK to share, you fail to update in recovery right? but you get the ota notification right? To me it looks like your build version is too old and it fails to update since newer updates require newer recoveries. Does ADB sideload fails too?

sorry can't understand much
ota doesn't see new updates, haven't tried adb, current computer has no android sdk installed, hopefully answered everything? but will install it now, also will finish latest stock rom in a minute
BTW: i'm willing to lose all data just to fix this problem

You have to try with adb, go in the recovery and you should see the adb sideload option, press it and connect to the PC, now download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3206907 and go to command section and the sideload file. Now choose the lastest update available on asus site http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.168-user.zip (here is a direct link), now your update should start it will take a long time so don't unplug the usb!!

Here is what i think, the guy who sold your phone have put the wrong recovery in your phone, by flashing the files i give you(in my good will i thought the recovery was the same as firmware version) you bricked the bootloader, to fix this you must perform the guide i give you (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256), so i suggest you to do is backup all your internal storage to PC, backup everything you might need and do that operation when you have time, then you can update OTA

Update 4.4.4 to marshmallow

Hello,
My uncle gave me his htc one M8 and for some days now I've been trying to factory reset it and update from 4.4.4 to latest android version with no success. Everytime I try to factory reset (from settings or fastboot or pc with ruu) it fails everytime. It doesn't delete music and gallery (deletes apps and settings though) and the update notification never shows up. I'm sorry if the solution is on another thread but I haven't found anything during these days. I live in Balkan so the phone isn't linked with any carrier (bought in a regular store).

you don't need micro sd. you can flash by fastboot commands. use the following files for fastboot binaries. copy the files which you downloaded to fastboot folder.
1) go to fastboot usb mode
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip hboot file name.zip
4) fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) fastboot oem rebootRUU
6) htc_fastboot flash zip ruu file name.zip

you don't need micro sd. you can flash by fastboot commands. use the following files for fastboot binaries. copy the files which you downloaded to fastboot folder.
1) go to fastboot usb mode
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip hboot file name.zip
4) fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) fastboot oem rebootRUU
6) htc_fastboot flash zip ruu file name.zip

you can update by flashing verizon stock mm ruu.
1) at first update hboot. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911975644

So it was fine until I arrived on campus where I rely on my data plan. Mobile hotspot doesn't work. It just says error but I assume it is because of the verizon rom. Is there a way to fix this? I think a global unlocked rom should work since the cid:111111

did you fix sim icon?
it's different to say something about hotspot. i haven't used hotspot in verizon. what is the error? is device rooted? it may not work hotspot as a bug came after root.
i belive there may no bugs in verizon stock roms.
you have superCID. but didn't forget that MID is 0P6B20000 (M8_WLV). your device is a limited one. but can be used globally.
*) if your firmware is 6.21.605.3, didn't downgrade or change it.
*) don't change mid. ( there are hardware changes than M8_UL) device may get bricked.
*) try verizon custom rom. but there may be hidden bugs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development
after few days, as a user you can understand that stock rom is better at all costs.

No I didn't fix sim icon, didn't downgrade, didn't root, nothing. I am pretty sure it's a sim problem. Will allowing root acces bypass the verizon check and create a hotspot?

We can't think that root access will allow to create hotspot. use this custom rom. there may be a chance to create a hotspot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rom-nusenseven-marshmallow-sense-7-t3266678.

Nope. Root is just a permissions change, that allows the users access to modify certain things. It doesn't really modify anything in itself.
Your best bet if you need WiFi hotspot or tethering, is to flash a custom ROM that supports the Verizon version.

Help! HTC One M8 (Rogers Canada) Bricked?

/Users/sekhon/Desktop/Brick Phone.jpg
Hi,
My HTC M8 (which i have not used for a year) seems to have been cricked to what ever extent !
I put it on charge and the following shows up
________________________________________

(few other lines)
FastBOOT AC

Any help would be highly appreciated !

So what did you try to do? The above doesn't tell us anything you tried or didn't try (aside from removing the SD card).
Don't want to waste the time and effort, to advise you to do things you may have already tried.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
I tried to connect it to my mac via usb to flash a rom or twrp etc but my computer doesn't show the phone.
I tried selecting the recovery mode from the menus and nothing happens.
It just restarts and goes back to the same mode.
So honestly i havnt tried much as i do not know where to begin.. Apart from going into all of the menus on the screen and that's it.
I think i the phone is missing the recovery and the rom? Not sure.... Help!

The mac will only be able to connect via fastboot, in the current condition. Do you have fastboot/adb setup on your mac? I'm not a mac user, so I won't be able to advise much on that.

Since the phone will only boot to bootloader, you are correct in that it appears the ROM is damaged or corrupt. Since I don't think the Rogers version has RUU to recover, you are right in the approach of flashing TWRP and ROM to the phone.
However, you will also need to unlock the bootloader, in order to flash TWRP. And you will need working fastboot connection to mac/PC in order to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. So you really need to troubleshoot the connection issue, first.
You might also read through the following thread for more recovery options or info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694297

On post #1 OP wrote (few other lines) which is important to be highlighted. Without OS info no way to help.
Or as usual need fastboot getvar all result. If it is Lollipop RUU 4.20.631.3 is available for free.
Also I remember Marshmallow RUU is available too on AFH but can't confirm it now as I maybe wrong ..need to search for it
Edit : here is Marshmallow RUU - http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=14070
Leave it to you to guide OP.
Maybe need to flash 6.13.631.7 firmware first before RUU

Thanks!
I just tried the add fast boot connection went through all the steps ok, HOWEVER when i type in ./adb devices it does not show the phone. So far all posts and videos i have found explain about trouble shooting when the phone OS is still running but none for my situation.
There is a red highlights text which says "FASTBOOT"
and it turns to "FASTBOOT USB" when i plug in with my MAC
Also i have tried 2 different USB cables same result, tried clicking on the "REBOOT FASTBOOT" as well same result.
Anything else i can do to have a working connection ?

Have you installed the HTC drivers to your computer?
If not, install HTC Sync Manager (you can get the MAC version here). During the installation of Sync Manager the drivers will be installed. After they are, Uninstall Sync Manager (it doesn't play nice with ADB/fastboot) and the drivers will remain

When on fastboot, correct command is fastboot devices or ./fastboot devices
Based on your bootloader screenshot, you can try the above linked RUU to fix your phone

This is working normally, and as intended.
adb and fastboot are related, but different conditions, usage and requirements.
adb: Only works in OS, or alternately TWRP. Needs debugging enabled in phone settings. Will not work in fastboot mode.
fastboot: Only works in fastboot mode. Does not require debugging enabled in phone settings.
Stuck in fastboot mode, you should get a response (phone's ID) to: fastboot devices
Otherwise, there may be a driver or USB connectivity issue.
However, since ckpv5 linked an RUU for you to use, the mac won't help you. RUU is probably the easiest way to get the phone back up and running. But you'll need access to a PC for the RUU to work. RUU won't work properly with mac, even emulating a PC.

Nice. :good: Obviously, I missed that detail. Should have figures, since most M8 versions without "official" released RUUs seem to get them leaked as zip format.
