[Q] Stuck..but where? Showing HBOOT, S-OFF information, etc.

Hi everybody,
a friend of mine asked me to have a closer look on an HTC Desire having a really strange behavior:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Direktlink
This is where it get's stuck but:
It still reacts on USB connects changing from 'HBOOT' to 'HBOOT_USB_PLUG' but navigating or selecting an option is not possible.
Another thing, making me wonder, is that this screen appears, after just hitting the power button - it's not necessarry to kepp VOL Down pressed...
Hopefully someone can help me out of this,
Thanks in advance,
Dominik

Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once your in recovery do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

It needs to be recognized by fastboot not adb. Download and install HTC sync then uninstall it leaving only the drivers behind. Also install these: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode (power and back) and run "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognized. If it is follow the instructions in my first post.

Yeah, it's working, thanks a lot!
I tried to boot with "back + Power" several times.... but without USB connected...
EDIT: No, it wasn't regarding USB...
This only works from time to time, more less then more.. (hopefully you know what I mean)
Okay, now I have a way to get into the recovery, a big step forward!!
What now?
I'd like to "install" this recovery now, as I did before on my HD2 in the past but this is far long ago, so sorry for this stupid question:
How to replace the actual existing Recovery with the booted 4ext one?
On 4ext.net I found a way with a booted rom, but without...
Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?
During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"
AS you may see, I know a little, but it's damned long ago...
Sorry for my worse english, but I don't know how to describe this better
Hopefully you can help me anyway,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to fully install the recovery. Rename the hboot(partition) file you downloaded to "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it select yes to install it then reboot.
Go into recovery and wipe everything except the SD card then flash the ROM.

Hi,
thanks a lot for these great hints, but sadly I'm unable since yesterday to enter fastboot mode
System always starts into HBOOT - and dies, weather I press any additional keys to the power button or not...
Any alternative way to enter fastboot mode?

I know and this worked yesterday, but it started with problems, as mentioned above.
Today I never had access..

Need help with my HTC Desire!

So I formatted my SD card and now when I turn on my phone, all i get is a splash screen that says revolutionary 2.1+3.0. I cant do anything from there, none of the buttons work or anything.
edit: i just realized that my phone has s-on but how do i disable this

Edit 2: Sorry for the lack of information. I just used revolutionary and it says s-off now and I was able to flash the cm rom using fastboot from android sdk. Now it is stuck in a bootloop (i think?) and it just says android on the screen and wont go anywhere else.
i now have revoultionary cwm v4.0.1.4 installed...

One does not simply disable s-on.
Post your bootloader details. Does the phone boot into android?

i have s-off now using revolutionary but my phone is not booting... just stuck at a screen that has "android" across it and it looks like its just forever loading.
when i first go into my bootloader, it quickly loads something and i believe it says no img file. i formatted my sd card and everything was erased.

thanks for the suggestion but when i go into recovery, i cannot select any of the options. i hit the power button and the screen just goes blank and nothing happens. i hit the power button again and it goes back to the recovery menu.
i installed cm but maybe i need some other sort of image? when i formatted my sd card everything was erased including the os, htc sense, etc.

This will probably fix your problem:
1. Download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1631968&d=1357780284
And install it using these instructions (ignore the stuff about the 2.3 RUU):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45298337&postcount=21
It's 4ext recovery.
2. Download a GB rom, like MildWild :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467
And flash it. This ROM will surely boot.

thank you so much for your help so far. i have installed 4ext recovery but when i boot into recovery to install the mildwild rom, it says unable to mount the sd card.
i tried using the usb unbrick tool from the 4xt recovery and that didnt work.
i used the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0; fastboot oem eraseconfig commands in fastboot which didnt work (if i typed the commands wrong here, they are just from memory)
i redownloaded the mtd0.img and flashed it using fastboot and that didnt work either.
any ideas?

Do you have any other sd-cars laying around? Try it instead.
If not, format your sd-card again. I don't know what's wronf with it, but it seems it has some problems.

Update: i think my fastboot doesnt work for some reason... flashing the rom and mtd0.img didnt work but when i just copied them into my sd card directly it did work fine. my rom is installed...
also when i go into hboot, it still says no image...

Fastboot works fine.
1. You can't install a ROM through fastboot. Only images.
2. The 'No image' thing comes when you don't have a pb99img.zip on your sd-card. The bootloader scans the sd-card for that zip.

deleted stock rom!!

I don't know how i did this but as i was going to revert back to my stock rom via twrp recovery, my phone couldn't find the file. Somewhere along the way i ended up wiping my phone and now im stuck in recovery with no backup to restore, no zip to flash, and cant even get back to my rom. I can open recovery, and i can go into the boot-loader. Im guessing what i mainly need to do is somehow flash the stock rom using fastboot open window command from my computer, but i still cant seem to find the stock rom.
Im pretty sure the answer is somewhere in these forums but the search isn't working and iv been going through tons of pages with no answer.

Well the good thing is that you're not bricked. If you are S-OFF and know how to use adb go to the link below. Saved my life when I flashed TWRP over my boot img. I'm sorry I can't give you instructions. I just don't feel I could give you clear ones as I know just enough to get around lol. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

In this situation all you should have to do is adb sideload the ROM of your choice from your computer and you'll be back in business.

what exactly is adb sideload? is that when i do the open command from adb file and do
fastboot flash zip (Rom.zip) ?

You can also use the Meenova Sd card reader to flash a rom in recovery. Once you flash the. zip you are back up and ready to go. Google Meenova and they have a thread on XDA.

I did this the first week I bought the phone.
No S-OFF, no RUU. Very scary, but luckily I had @hawknest to guide and save me.
First thing to do is relax, and know your phone is not damaged in anyway and can be recovered quite easily.
The HTC DNA users experienced this as well, so this is nothing new to them.
TWRP houses an "adb sideload" option and it's very easy to use.
or you can adb push the ROM.zip to your internal memory.
I prefer the adb sideload.
If you need help, I will teamview with you (which means I can basically control your computer so I can run the commands) you just need to be there doing what I say.
Hope you get this fixed, it's really dumb how TWRP has it set up for failure like this, and I've tried bringing to their attention but that's a story I will not get into. PM me for help.

I think I pretty much got it. Except just trying to figure out how exactly adb sideload works...is that when I'm in the adb folder doing the open command window to flash my zip?

Yes I do believe that sounds correct.
If you don't already know, here is the command
adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip - (rename whatever ROM you are moving over to rom.zip)
Hope to hear you are out of that mess soon, it should never of been set up like that anyway with system where it is.
I have been SOO careful ever since, haha.

No!
adb commands are performed in completely separate places than fastboot commands. adb.exe is completely separate from fastboot.exe. They both help to modify the phone but they depend on completely different conditions to function correctly.
adb.exe commands = when booted into Android & when enabled in recovery
fastboot.exe commands = when fastboot mode is chosen after you've booted to the bootloader (HBOOT screen).
Assuming you're able to install a custom recovery via fastboot, you can boot into that recovery and perform the adb sideload.
Also the "fastboot flash zip" command can only be invoked after you get to the bootloader, go to fastboot mode, and then do 'fastboot oem rebootruu' which is definitely not the typical way for modifying recovery unless you're pushing in a new radio, hboot, or an entire RUU.

Ok, so how can I flash a .zip or ROM to my phone now through adb sideload? or push a ROM to my internal memory. I just relocked thevbootloader tho in an attempt to flash the RUU .zip that did not work for me.

Which RUU zip did you try using? There are two versions of the RUU that have been posted. Decrypted and Encrypted. Since you re-locked your bootloader I hope you went for the Encrypted version.

If you have CWM or TWRP installed, you'll have an option for ADB Sideload for a ROM. You don't even have to push a ZIP to the phone. The phone will take the ZIP on the fly.
In CWM, while connected to your computer" you just choose "Install ZIP" > "Install ZIP from Sideload" which will make the device present in ADB

After doing the sideload command from your command prompt the phone will start flashing the ZIP as if it were locally stored.

Well that helps! Because I am using the decrypted version. I can't find an encrypted one. I found this other file called
PN07IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_422_VERIZON_WWE_1.10.605.10_Radio_1.12.42.0906_NV_VZW_3.71_002_release_334098_signed_2.zip
and also I am using TWRP

Being you have TWRP, just boot into recovery and select Advanced->Sideload ADB. Now plug your phone into your computer, run adb, and run: adb sideload (zip file name). It should copy the zip to your internal storage.

If you can get into Recovery. You can mount your internal storage and just copy/paste the ROM through your PC to your phone.

just to be clear. if you're using adb sideload or adb push - as per everyone's instructions - you want to use a rom zip, NOT the RUU zip!
(correct me if i'm wrong here)
so if you want to flash stock get santod's stock rom from the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
otherwise use any of the roms from the verizon htc forums

Well, I was on the wrong forum and I relocked my bootloader. I can still go into recovery tho, but my computer seems to freeze. ugh this is crazy, Ive about had it. I wish my windows 8.1 would just recognize the phone, I'm stuck using my moms old laptop

One could also flash santods stock rom through fastboot.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip
It will fail the first time and say something about flushing the image. Just repeat the process and it will work on second round.
Once it's finished just type
Fastboot reboot

Is it you screen that not responding?
- If you turn off your phone and do VolDown+Power, to get in bootloader
- plug your phone in pc
- open a window cmd where you have the fastboot.exe and the recovery.img of CWM
- and type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Well I'm not an expert, but with CWM recovery you wont be able to restore 4ext backups.
Or maybe just restart, remove battery, re flash the 4ext recovery (from the link on my first post) first to see if the touch will come back.

true that , if you can get non- touch 4ext recovery it will be better.
Maybe move the ribbon cable on the phone to see if the touch is getting working back.
Have you rooted your phone by yourself?
* I meant fastboost.exe, not adb.exe
1. Download sdk and install : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk
2. Found the folder where fastboot.exe is and copy the recovery.img from the recovery of your choice. Lets try the 4ext first if it fixes the problem
3. Boot your device in bootloader : VolDown+power. you must be in ''fastboot usb'' notice in red. Usb connected of course
4. In the folder where the fastboot.exe is , shift+right click, choose ''open a commend window here''
5. type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

after i go into "fastboot", and search device via "Fastboot device"...its not showing my device what can i do now?
i think its need USB Debugger, so how to enable it now?

OK, can anyone tell me how to survive from this?
i installed AOSB on it before the cracking, and when i setup, its crashing like this "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped."....!!
how to bypass this error

how to flash rom from bootloader ?

if your device doesn't see wit the command fastboot device ,you must verify that the fastboot driver (htc bootloader) is corectly installed

mmm, if I do remember, it won't detect your device with '' fastboot devices'', can you just type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
and then you should have something like : sending 'recovery' (5602 KB)... ......
usb debuggin is when you device is running the rom and you want to use adb or other stuff through the usb cable

if fastboot device doesn't work fastboot flash also.
i know i can't uses fastboot with my phone becauses i'm running windows 8.1 and the driver isn't compatible

See the fastboot guide in the thread I linked you, it will explain how to get it up an running again

You should be installing asob v129, v130 isn't working for us. By the way, you don't necessarily need fastboot to flash a recovery.

thanks to all all are great friends...thanks
tell me just one thing, how can i flash a recovery or rom without entering on recovery? and is it possible to flash that from bootloader only?
i'm using Windows 8.1...so do i need to install windows 7 on my pc to get install the driver for fastboot?

Win 8.1 has issues with the fastboot drivers, maybe dual boot a Linux distro or run a live CD
Actually, if you have an external card reader or a way to transfer a file to your SD card I'll just make a .zip for you that should fix your issue, let me know as I'm almost down with my paper I can just whip it up real quick

put this on the root of your sd card (so not in any folders)
then boot into bootloader
except yes on your phone
it will flash a non touch version of 4ext recovery
(you will need to remove it from your sd card or it will always try to update)
boot to recovery
flash rom or restore backup
done

thanks bro...!!! sooo much..
i'll report u soon...

if you usb otg cable, just copy any 4.4.3 custom rom to any usb drive provided your previous os is 4.4.3 ok..go to twrp and flash from otg. you will see the aptions in twrp. Just try.

Yes, either take out the SD card and put it in the adapter like the one shown in the picture.

}
Place it in your computer and then put the ROM onto it, just put back into phone when finished, or:
2) If you're in recovery, connect phone to PC(ADB must be installed) open a terminal in adb/fastboot folder, and type adb push ROM.zip /sdcard2/ of course ROM.zip would be the name of the ROM .zip file you wish to push there. Just make sure you have the "ROM.zip" file in your local adb/fastboot folder, else if it is in a different folder you need to show the path to that folder for example: adb push c:\blahblah\blah\rom.zip it'll just be easier to place the rom in the local folder where adb is...
/sdcard2/ should work but you can also try to push it to /storage/ext_sd/

For some reason I can't open the link you linked to but even then...If it's from the htcdev downloads page, I wouldn't go for downloads there...Most of them are just Kernel Source code for the various regions, some RUUs but not a lot of "ROMs" you'll end up doing something that shouldn't be done, perhaps.
If you're going with Viper, first extract the boot.img file then flash it via fastboot flash boot boot.img then install the ROM. Just make sure you have the correct version. If you're still on 4.4.2 don't download a 4.4.3 Viper ROM as you'll have bootup times close to 10mins as a result of outdated firmware.

What?
Just extract the boot.img file from the .zip place it in your adb folder, boot into bootloader and flash with the command I gave. No need to try and extract anything in the .img file. Just the whole boot.img <<<as is and place it in folder.
That way you can flash the boot.img before flashing the ROM. You can place the whole ROM.zip file on your SD card and flash it like normal through custom recovery.

do you have teamviewer? i just dont get it have the Boot.img in a Adb folder on my pc now and ViperOne on my sdcard and what do i do now ?
how do i flash the Boot.img ? when u say flash you mean click install in TWRP right? or else i dont know what flashing is

No, I don't mean that.
I don't have teamviewer unfortunately.
Hopefully you didn't go and just made a folder named "adb" on your computer. Perhaps it's just the way I read it when you say "have the boot.img in a adb folder on my pc" instead of perhaps "have the boot.img in the adb folder. Just want to make sure you we cut out all possible issues.
When you're in your adb folder(adb.exe and fastboot.exe inside folder), hold shift and then right click, you'll see a pop up, just go to "open command window here" or "open command prompt here" can't recall which it is but it's one of those two. It'll then open a command terminal already in the directory where you're at. Start your phone up(You said it goes straight to fastboot so it's fine then). When your phone is started up, type in the command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img <<<That'll flash(hence fastboot flash) the boot.img file onto the boot partition. That's what that command means. Then type:
fastboot erase cache <<<Probably not needed but we can do it anyway.
Then go into TWRP recovery and flash the ROM that you downloaded like you normally would i.e Install zip, change directory to where your downloaded .zip file is on external SD card select it and flash as per usual. Follow installation through Aroma installer as per usual.

Just open a command prompt like I showed you. Hold shift in the folder, right click and select open command prompt/window here. That's it... It'll open the command terminal in the folder. Have your phone in fastboot mode and use the fastboot commands like I showed you.

hm The only time I recall on here of someone with similar problems it was because of an outdated TWRP. I'm not sure if that would be the problem for you though

Yeah try the newest 2.8.0.3. Wipe everything again and reinstall and let's check what it does. I also found the thread that I spoke about.
[Q] ViperOne M8 won't boot Post 5 and post 10 was the solution to their problem, both of which was outdated/corrupt TWRP version. It's worth a shot.
