[Q] Stuck..but where? Showing HBOOT, S-OFF information, etc. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
a friend of mine asked me to have a closer look on an HTC Desire having a really strange behavior:

}

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've tried different ROMs, some work some just won't even run
I've tried alot.... now I'm really stuck! :crying:
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have a HTC Desire HD
If you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img.

yes im on S-ON with an unlocked bootloader
but how i can make the fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img
im not smart in the phone world Sorry
Assuming you are an HTC Desire HD or Inspire 4G user, are S-On, have an unlocked bootloader, and are stuck on the boot splash after flashing a ROM, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img as follows.
1. Get the boot.img: unzip the ROM zip on your PC and navigate into the folder from the file manager. You should see a boot.img file. Open a terminal there (in Windows, shift-rightclick in the folder; if using Linux or Mac, I expect you to know how to do this).
2. Put your phone in fastboot mode: connect your phone to the computer, reboot into hboot by holding power + volume-down, navigate to "fastboot" with the volume buttons, and select it with the power button.
3. Fastboot flash the boot.img: from the command window,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Reboot.
Note: you will need to do this each time you flash a ROM, but not each time you restore a nandroid.

I don't use this phone anymore, but look around the Development forums. The most active ROM threads float to the top. The OPs will give you a good idea of what each ROM is like.

Flash boot.img is only necessary for s-on. If you have s-off device, just flashing rom in recovery is enough.

If you unlocked your bootloader you are S-On. Make sure by rebooting into the bootloader (hold power and volume-down). Read my signature for the boot.img thing.
i already read your signature, but now i realized that i overread this:

Hello, how can i boot in recovery without hardware buttons they are broken? and another thing i dont have any rom instaled, the phone i s-off with 4ext touch recovery. please help. THX:crying:

adb devices

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'

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.

[Q] Broken display + data lost

Hi everyone,
I know it's a thread so discussed, but it's a little different for me so I can't find the answer..
The basic problem is that I have a broken display, and I cannot access my phone since it's locked with digit sequence and also I have not enabled usb debugging.
After reading a lot of threads, I managed to do these steps:
- Unlocked the bootloader with fastboot
- Installed Clockwork mod
Now I'm stuck.. Unlocking the bootloader erased all my data, I knew this thing, but I hoped to recover it in some way...
Every single guide is based on adb.
Ok, my device isn't recognized with adb.
Since I haven't the display, I'm doing everything "blind".
To enter in fastboot mode -> vol up + vol down + power. Now the phone is recognized with fastboot command.
By looking at some videos, to enter the recovery mode I have to push vol down 2 times, and then power to confirm.
I've done that procedure, but the phone is not recognized by adb.
I'm not even sure that I have CW installed, even if fastboot procedure was fine...
Any idea? I'd like only to recover my photos, they were important to me.
Thank you

to be sure of being in recovery, you can reboot into it by using 'fastboot reboot recovery'
CWM should have an option to mount sdcard, its under mounts/storage, but since you dont have a display, you'd have to find a screenshot somewhere and try following that. the TWRP recovery has the option too, but im not sure it can be controlled via volume + power
EDIT: in CWM, once youre in recovery, try VOL UP 4 times, power, then volume up 2 times and power. does that work?

thank you guys for the replies..
I'm sorry for the (maybe) stupid question.. How can I reboot into recovery? There is no such option in fastboot...

However now I have to find a way to recover my photos...

i never said mounting the /sdcard will bring it up on the pc as a mass storage device. mounting it will give it access through ADB, then he can simply pull the DCIM folder which will contain his camera pictures by using "adb pull /sdcard/DCIM C:/DCIM/"
ok guys stop fighting please
I need your help not your hate
So... I can use adb now.. But how to proceed? data are wiped with the unlocking. So, if i can access to the phone as an external memory, I could use data recovery software.. Otherwise with adb it pulls empty folders...

oh.... well if you wiped your phone by unlocking the bootloader then everything we said was useless im afraid
sorry
here we are!
Current situation:
I managed to enter in recovery mode.
The only way to recover my data seems to be this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
but I need to install busybox.
Since I can work only in recovery mode, could I install it via recovery?
The alternative is to install a rom with root and busybox, but I can't put the device in sideload mode, I don't know why...
Once I'm in recovery mode, I push twive vol down, and it should be the "install zip from sideload", but the adb status remains recovery...
I don't know why.. It's very frustrating..
Any help?
Thanks

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 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...

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.

Flashed wrong kernel by mistake

Hi,
I got a little bit of a problem on my head.... I planned to flash CM12.1 on my HOX but i flashed a different boot.img by mistake! Now i cant get the phone into debugging mode and while using hasoonss toolkit it wont see my device cause i cant get it into debugging mode . Any ideas on how to solve the problem? There are a lot of threads inhere about bricked hox but i cant find one talking about the same problem....
Hope i can get some help on this.

if you can get into bootloader then just get the good boot.img and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img
Tried that but it won't see my device.
It doesn't apear in my devices.

When on bootloader/fastboot mode, type
fastboot devices
to check connection
if it returns your device serial no, then it is good for you to
fastboot flash boot boot.img
adb devices is working when in recovery or on running OS, not on bootloader/fastboot

Any options on how to install the drivers different from normally? Apparently the drivers won't install as it should install...
Have HTC sync on my system, can i use some of those exe's in there?
This is wat happens with HTC installer.

You have a newer sets of drivers installed and the installer exits instead of downgrade the version.
Are you sure you are in fastboot mode?
To enter this.
Power off your phone.
Hold Power and volume down button until phone enters a white screen with Hboot written on it.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now press power button again. The screen should now change to this
Showing fastboot marked in red.
Go to device manager and look for the driver. It should look like this ( Android USB Devices, My HTC)
In cmd type fastboot devices.
My cmd returns this.
Cant seem to get the drivers in my device manager, they are installed but not showing in my device manager...

Ok i used a old htc and now it sees my device again.
Device manager sees the HOX now too.

It was my thought at first. So now we know that htc apparently dropped the support for one x and older devices in their driver pack. Good to know
Now i need to take a look at how i can push a diff rom in there since the other rom apparently wont work..

Have you flashed this "new storage layout"?

Making a new layout is something i missed, Mone said ;
Flashing instruction like usual: perform a full wipe with TWRP for new layout, flash the ROM, flash the suggested GApps, reboot into fastboot mode, flash the boot.img exctracted from the ROM.zip, reboot into system, enjoy cm-12.1.
So i wiped the damn thing( ) after making a backup offcourse(which btw doesn't help cuz its screwed...). But i completely missed that i had to make a new layout... But stil i am convinced it can be "unbricked" one way or another.
I basicly follwed all the steps mentioned in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 and it al worked up to the point i flashed the wrong kernel. After that i searched the forum for hours and found some things which could be connected but with a total different view of what my problem is/was(partially solved with your help) and ended up with putting a SOS sign up for help.
