Develop Bugs

Guys i fear my phone has bitten the dust;(

This morning i just flashed the new froyo rom that the xda guys had made and it said if you was experiencing any led problems to go into adb and delete a file.
I went into adb and mounted the system, but didnt delete a file, when i came out i didnt exit, i just pulled the usb cable,
is it possible that my system is still mounted and is stuck?
when i rebooted i am stuck on a boot loop from the first htc screen and i have no way of getting into recovery...
I dont think this is a usb brick as i didnt flash anything,
im not sure what to do now;(
I cant even flash a new ruu from fastboot;(
Hope you guys can help
JD

Almost the same hapened to med yesterday, but i was able to reflash.
Take out the batery and start into recovery directly, wipe before flash.
Good luck, i hope it works out for ya.

Im not sure if this is a usb brick or not? I think with usb bricks you can still flash a ruu from fastboot, where as i cant;(

And trying to flash a stock ROM from the built-in recovery (the one accessible with volume-up and power from the HBOOT's red triangle screen)?

Just to be clear, with the device turned off you can't get into HBOOT holding vol. down and turning it on?

Just boot your Desire with volume-down pressed and once in the HBOOT, select RECOVERY; then, as the red triangle screen appears press volume-up and power until you reach a blue recovery console that has a "Flash from sdcard" menu entry.
Copy a stock ROM to your sdcard and flash it.
I've never tried that, but I readed that the console is able to flash HTC signed stuff, so give it a try...

If you have a PD98IMG.zip image in the sdcard erase it. Then flash a recovery....there's no need to have a PD98IMG file in the sdcard....

Stuck trying to install custom rom

Okay so I am trying to install the jdroid rom, btw first time ever doing this so bare with me, anyways I can't boot my phone stays at HTC quietly brilliant screen with some writing underneath it red. I can get into the bootloader menu, where I am rooted and says my bootloader is unlocked. I can also get into clockwork mod however I messed up when transferring the rom onto my phone. I unzipped it and put it there instead of leaving it in the zip file. I can't mount to my laptop through clockwork mod, is there any other way? Again I can't boot my phone. Thanks
EDIT: Now whenever my phone boots, it boots into the clockworkmod and keeps rebooting I can't do anything, cant mount my phone at all

You need to enter the fastboot mode ... hold "volume-down + powerbutton" for 10 secs and then again push the powerbutton to enter the fastboot mode.
Edit: and after that use the comand fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Just saw the edit now will try thanks alot man appreciate it!

What you need to do when flashing:
a) CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery xxxrecovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
b) Flashing a ROM
extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
enter recovery
install the ROM.zip
reboot

as long as you can get the correct RUU and flash the correct stock recovery, RUU will defo work, then you can start again from scratch. I've done this myself
edit: AT&T????? Are you even in the correct forum using the correct files/methods??? HTC One XL is different forum, different files!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright I got out of it using the st&t ruu, though I live in Canada and on Rogers. Data doesnt work but that is not surprise. Gotta wait for a root access and/or bootloader unlock for 1.85. will be patient.

[Q] Device won't boot past HTC logo, please help!

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.

Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.

Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.

Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.

My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.

Okay done that, thanks a lot!
I'm now looking in the advanced options of CWM, I can see the option "Reboot Recovery" but no "Reboot Bootloader"?

Was the boot.img file flashed successfully?

Yes it said so...
EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM of if I'm doing something wrong? I went to the "mounts and storage" section of CWM and clicked all the format options accept sdcard. I then installed ROM, went into fastboot and flashed boot.img, it said OKAY twice then finished. Still stuck at black, backlit screen after HTC screen. ROM is JellyTime by randomblame.

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.

VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.

[Q][HELP][SOLVED] Fastboot can't send boot.img to my phone

I think I really screwed up my phone, I was trying to get my Google play store working on my phone by adjusting the Dpi (read it somewhere on the internet), so I rebooted and it wouldn't load my rom/system anymore. But the problem now is, is that I can't acces my sd card with HBOOT or similar things, fastboot does see my device but if I try sending files to it the next error appears:
C:\Users\Elke\Desktop\r1-primo-superboot>fastboot flash system shpongle.zip
sending 'system' (131180 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
Als this error keeps occuring:
C:\Users\Elke\Desktop\r1-primo-superboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (2988 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
Does anybody know what I should do to get my phone working again? Because I really need my phone (it contains all my appointments and homework and stuff)
PS: If you need more information on my phone just ask for it and I'll try my best to find it!
PPS: Thanks in advance!

I think I fixed it
After numerous attempts my phone is responding to some fastboot commands, so I think I got it working again
Edit:
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC startup screen

heyy man, if you have a custom recovery already installed, use that to wipe your phone and install the new rom
then pull the boot.img out of the rom .zip you are trying to use, then you need to "fastboot flash boot d:/boot.img" (of course, to your boot.img location)
hope this helps

Yes

Dammit again
I have to go to school in about 2 minutes so here is the status of my phone
-just flashed new kernel, but still stuck at HTC screen
-In bootloader when I select my customrecovery (TWRP) it shows HTC with a loadboar in the right-upper corner, then that loadingbar disappears and it shows just HTC (with red lettering underneath : This build... etc) and gets stuck again.
Thanks for the help so far but my phone is still broken dammit :c

Since you've got fastboot working again, re flash your custom recovery first.
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then boot into recovery.
Now you can go into >advance>mount>mount USB storage
( using TWPR )
Copy the custom Rom to your pc
Unmount USB storage move to >wipe cashe, dalvick cache, factory reset, system
Wipe everything.
Move to > install and flash Rom
Once install is finished click the wipe cashe/dalvick.
Go back to the home screen in TWRP click >reboot> bootloader
Now flash your kernel. fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once finished fastboot reboot
I think you might have had a bad recovery flash.
