[Q] Flash failed and now stuck with "waiting for device" in cmd

Hi guys,
I just bought my One X today. Since it is my first android i am quite noob in all the issues regarding flashing/rooting.
I already unlocked the bootloader, install the clock recovery and then when I try to flash the new rom, i forgot not to extract the zip file so things start to mess up.
Now I am stuck at the HTC boot up screen. I have tried all the methods at:

but it doesn't work.
The problem is that when i type a command into cmd it keep showing waiting for device
So I don't know what to do now. I really appreciate your help if you could provide step by step.
Thank you so much

OK so as a noob you thought you'd try too root your 1st android phone after having it just one day??? oops! Lesson learned, next time read up loads first and maybe get used to the phone first before trying too root it. Anyway. . .
After installing Clockworkmod did you (as instructed in all the manuals I have read!) do a backup? If so just remove the usb, turn your phone off and go to the cwm boot menu and select restore. Fixed

recovery?
i see you have flashed recovery..
can you get to it??
Press POWER + VOL DOWN until it reboots and keep holding until u get to HBOOT..
from there select recovery and see if that shows up..
if you can get to Recovery, then you can either flash a CUSTOM ROM, or go back to STOCK recovery and then run RUU (a program provided by HTC that will restore you phone to stock) but you also have to relock the boot loader..
based on your choice more info may be required to help you
My best guess is that you have a messed up kernel...

BLACK SCREEN RECOVERY Solved!!

If You are a Victim of BLACK SCREEN RECOVERY?
Then You are in A Right Place......
Hi friends Now a days,there is a series of problem coming with new wildfire s,Unlocked via Htc-Dev.
Ultimately when you peoples are trying to install CWM and getting blackscreen,which stops you to install custom ROMS and all that ....
Just go through this tutorial and get success temporarily(until some permanent success in this regard)
Hi!!
All brothers having black clockmodrecovery....Please pay attention!!!
This solution cannot give you a Visual CWM,But it will work.
I have searched many sites without getting any positive results.
so i have decided to post
my own research
...PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS/
1.Unlock your device with htcdev.com.(Ignore if already done)
2.Root Your Device with Unlock Root (Download Here) (ignore if already done)
3.Download this Latest Official CWM Only This version Is working
4.Download This folder Android(adb pack)
5.Extract and copy android.zip to c: and also copy that file you downloaded in step 3 in the same folder.
6.Take your battery out of your device,reinsert it.
7.press Vol-Down and power key..until bootloader appears,let its search PG76IMG.ZIP.
8.After that press power key once to enter FASTBOOT.
9.Connect your device to PC Now FASTBOOT Will Change To FASTBOOT USB
10.Run the command from CMD,and type
c:\ cd android
Then Type
c:\android\ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img .
(Ignore above if already Rooted AND Flashed your WFS WITH clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img).
And Now ..
11.Reboot your phone and install cwm rom manager from Google play.
Restart your device again,
12.Go to rom manager And click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery,let it download and flash recovery again.(idont know y but some users reported as an important step). and restart ur phone.
13.copy and paste the custom rom you want to flash in your sd card(Renaming it as PG76IMG.zip)
Here is the link of Best ever Cutom rom If you dont have any Rename the zip to PG76IMG .
14.Go to rom manager and tap to install rom from sd and locate the PG76IMG.zip.
(after selecting the PG76IMG.zip a ROM Pre- Installation pop will ask you to wipe Data and chache,and wipe Dalivik chache please tick the both) Backup existing rom is not recommended because it takes much time
15.When PHONE will restarts it will show only the four white keys with complete black screen,Without touching the keys wait for 20 mints as it is.(if restarts you will get your custom rom flashed)......if not...
Remove the battery and normaly switch on your phone and repeat the step 6.
this time it will surely get flashed within 10 mints.
Do remember if custom rom flashing dosent starts and interrupted,your device will be safe. if it starts flashing and interrupted in between and you are not willing to start your phone normally.
Then Follow This tutorial and Make your Mobile Phone working again
Remember : if you will select backup current rom it will take another 20 mints.(i will not suggest you to do so)

And now when I select recovery mode...I have this...
First an android phone down with a green logo like something sync and inside it an arrow upside down maybe download...then after that it disappears to show another Android Phone....and next to it there's a Triangle with an Exclamation Mark in it...so what have I done wrong...??

i think that's stock recovery that's not yet cwm have you flashed it is step 10???

NOT SOLVED! You need to change the title of this thread!
I have the same problem with my brand new Wildfire S.
I try to enter in CWM and it turns black. Almost bricked it with the solution above. I had to reinstall system.img and recovery.img manually with fastboot to fix it.
Mine arrived yesterday. My wife has the same phone but a few months older. Running CWM without issues.
Rommanager acknowledged that CWM is installed.
We need to find a solution for this. It is really a pain in the... . Just imagine you cannot recover your phone.

above steps are not a miracle.
Its a way cwm install Custom recovery from Ui of your phone,and relax i have not tempered or shared any links which are incompatible.
Its a way thats it ,its a default process of cwm for which it is designed for.
what a change here is you cant see anything,but cwm is still doing its work inside.
Ihave done several reserch and finally found that HTC has changed or improved Its Video Chip or firmware. which is incompatible with Cwm currently.
Above situations you have explained are not a sign of bricked phone dear...
follow this thread and make your device awake.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467844.
Remember bricking your phone means,(No way to make your phone alive) and this happens when bootloader is erased,in my case bootloader cant be uprooted in any circumstances.
so feel free work on these steps.

Yesterday I got my second Wildfire S with the firmware version 2.13.401.3 and I have successfully unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev. The flash process from the ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 is completed successfully but the screen stays black for me too. Now I had tried this tutorial but it does not work for me. Then I had the HTC update the firmware version 2.26.401.3 and flashed now I can not even get root privileges. I had read something here now because of the Dalvik cache Wipen but what is the ADB to command? Thank you in advance!
Sorry for my bad english, I come from Germany!

Desire Hd stuck on htc logo after bad radio flash

Make sure you have USB Cable and a Memory card before doing this. ** WARNING ** Flash At Your Own Risk.
This will take 1 hour or maybe more, just make sure you follow the steps carefully and do it carefully. This thread is for people who have no access to their rom and have only access to bootloader.
If you tried to return to stock rom via Advanced Ace Hack Kit and you tried to flash the stockrom back on and it just crashed during the process and you just pulled it out the usb cable out of the phone, So you pull the battery out the phone and restart it. All you see is the htc screen which it is just stuck on. Well I have the solution how to fix this. You might think it is bricked and have buy a new phone well you dont! All the problem is that the Advanced Ace Hack kit the radio RUU they provided you with is either a old version or a corrupted one so the phone cant boot up properly. This thread I am going to tell you how to flash the RUU and put a custom rom on which is ten times better than the android 2.3.5.
You have to concentrate while doing this or you will end up with a dead phone.
So step one - Go to google search and copy and paste RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163262_signed. go to the second link which says hotfile and download it.
Download the RUU_Signed File Via Hotfile, This will take sometime if you have a slow internet connection.
Step Two - It will say Welcome to the ROM Update Utility for your Android Phone also it will have a image on the left of the Desire HD. So click I Understand and click next so take the battery out of your phone and hold the volume down button and the power button, you will see a white screen with other selections so click bootloader to click it you have to click the power button to select it. So when you click bootloader it will go red and say FASTBOOT, So make sure the usb is in the computer/laptop during this process it will only go into fastboot if you have the usb connected to the computer first.
Step Three - Agree to all of the conditions and click next. Note: This process Will take sometime.
Step four- It will say Congratulations! your phone has been successfully been flashed! Now your phone is fully working and rooted so now your phone will reboot, If it doesnt power it on your self!
So it will boot up in android 2.3.5 because that was the rom that you were trying to flash via AAHK.
Step five - Open Advanced Ace Hack kit and make sure USB Debugging Mode is on.
Step six - There will be a option saying Hack Ace, This will root and install clockwork mod on your device, So type 1 and hit enter.
Note: this process will take sometime. Grab a cup of juice and crisps.
Step seven - The phone will reboot and will still be on android 2.3.5 so now you have superuser access and clockwork mod.
Step eight - Power off the phone and hold the volume down button and the power button, You will be in bootloader so now go down using the volume buttons and select recovery, to select this option you will have to click the power button to enter recovery mode.
Now your phone will be in recovery mode and will say Ace hack kit across the recovery screen, So now select wipe data/factory reset when it has wiped the phone select wipe cache partition, after that has wiped go to advanced option and select wipe dalvik cache.
Step nine - Your phone has nothing on it exept from bootloader and recovery! So now connect your mobile device to the computer and click mounts and storage, make sure your USB is connected. To complete this process make sure you have a 8GB Or 4GB Memory card in. So click mount USB storage, it will mount your memory card so you can access it through the computer to drag and drop files to flash on your mobile. You can download a Jellytime ROM on the XDA Forums So just choose which one you want and download it and drag and drop to the memory card while your phone is mounted to the computer via USB, Make sure you download a Google apps Package and flash it with it if it doesnt have the Google Playstore on the Rom. To Flash any zip files follow this - click unmount, go back to the main recovery options using the volume buttons and power button to select, go to install zip from sd card - select the zip file you want to flash then flash the Google apps Package after you flashed the ROM you want to have on your phone.
Last and final step! - Click reboot system now, your HTC DESIRE HD should reboot to the ROM you have flashed.
Congratulations! You have flashed and rooted your mobile device after being stuck in bootloader/fastboot mode.
If any problems just mail me or mail me via XDA Developers site.
I will help as much as I can to fix any problems.
Thank you for reading this thread and hope it helps.

Wait, I am beyond confused. If you are going back to stock with AAHK you are already S-OFF. You can just flash a recovery (if you don't already have one) and use that to flash a custom ROM if you want, or use AAHK to unroot and return to stock.
And...what does a radio have to do with anything?
And...why would you disconnect your phone while running AAHK?
And...AAHK doesn't provide corrupted RUUs. Maybe your download is corrupted?
Again, confused...

You cant flash clockwork mod on if you dont have USB debugging mode on, when the phone is stuck on the htc logo the only way is to flash a radio that works with the phone through bootloader/fastboot.
also when you flash a radio it wipes clockwork mod off it so you cant flash a recovery.
The radio file either was corrupted or either the wrong one for the phone because most of the time when you flash it is going to go perfectly but there is a chance where it will crash the process.
Again.. I said the radio might not have been corrupted it might just of crashed but you cannot access AAHK through fastboot/bootloader.

Wrong. All you say is wrong and misleading. To flash a recovery you need fastboot drivers working...if you don't have fastboot drivers working, that means that you can not access hboot. Therefore, your phone is bricked.
Second, when you flash a radio it wipes nothing...a ruu wipes partitions not any other stuff. AAHK, does not flash radios but flashes partition to gain ENG S-OFF, but wipes nothing. If the radio was corrupted and you were flashing in PD98IMG.zip way, then it won't flash as it get parsed before doing it, as it is the case in the Hack Kit.
A corrupted radio is bricked device. There is no chance to flash a corrupted radio and have a working phone. Flashing a wrong partition is a insurance to get a paperweight. Maybe you should read and do some research instead of trolling the forum.

AAHK does flash radio's but most of the time when you flash radios via a toolkit it will go perfectly, but there will be a time where it will go wrong and you will end up with no clockwork mod recovery or a bad radio flash. When you go on the AAHK you can return to stockrom which flashes radios or whatever but when you have a bad radio on your phone you cant access USB debugging mode because you need that on so you can access the AAHK. Flashing a new and updated radio will work because if your phone was bricked it will not let you into HBOOT/FASTBOOT.

Obviously too many technical errors in the OP. This thread only misleads users with no or little knowledge. Next time you better research a bit more before posting anything. Additionally there are dozens of CORRECT tuts all over xda to solve that kind of problems.

[Q] HTC One X wont boot into recovery

Friend's father recently obtained a HTC One X runing on VIRIGIN network.
We've unlocked the boot-loader, and as soon as we flash clockwork's recovery image, the phone went onto a boot loop.
Once we turned off the phone, we were able to fully boot it onto the stock image.
We've tried..
1. Clearing Fastboot's cache
2. Flashing different recovery images (including the stock one)
3. Factory resting the phone (We were unable to because im guessing it needs its default recovery (It just restarted and didnt reset))
^ All had lead to either a boot loop or just failed and booted normally.
The phone isn't rooted (Im guessing you need a recovery image to flash supersu in the first place)
All help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this,

Try this
Download the latest TWRP from here (or 2.4.1.0 if you can find it, best version IMO)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25393156
Then put your phone in fastboot and connect usb make sure it says 'fastboot usb'
Then rename TWRP to 'recovery' (no quotes) and copy to your fastboot folder on your PC
Open CMD and type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (no quotes)
Then type 'fastboot erase cache' (no quotes)
Do it exactly like that then use the volume + power buttons to go to hboot --> recovery and hopefully it should work
Btw these kinds of questions should go in Q&A

Thank you so much ! What a relief.
Should i delete this thread since its in the wrong section?

Help - Bricked M9 - yes my fault come read and laugh (and help)

Hi all, I need help with a big big problem.. Long story short, I bricked the phone. I think it's gone forever but I'm trying to ask here if someone got ideas.
First I want to say I got another M9 rooted, custom rom installed etc and got no problems, but I did it long time ago, with older methods, while now I tried using Windroid Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499926).
Here's the story:
- Unlocked phone via HTCdev ==> OK and everything worked;
- Downloaded and installed Windroid Toolkit, and with this installed TWRP 3.0.0 ==> OK and everything worked;
- Always via Windroid toolkit installed SuperSU ==> Windroid Toolkit sends you in recovery TWRP and you select the right supersu.zip file. Installation completed ok, but when I rebooted phone, it went in loop: showed start white screen with HTC logo and red text ("This build is for development bla bla bla") for X seconds, then reboot, and so on forever.
At that point I was still safe because I could still enter bootloader/ recovery etc, BUT... Don't ask how, don't ask why :crying: :crying: :crying: , shame on me I entered recovery / ADVANCED/ WIPE and wiped: dalvik cache, cache, system, data, internal storage... ( yes I know.. total stupidity :silly: ).
So now I am stuck at white screen with HTC logo and red text. I cannot reboot, I cannot even switch off phone keeping POWER button pressed! ("yeah you moron, you deleted os!" I know I know..).
If I connect phone to PC i hear the USB Windows sound but giving "adb devices" says "List of devices attached" like nothing is connected.
Also tried with RUU.exe but nothing (first version I found for M9, it is just to tell you it cannot see the device "Ensure your device is connected to USB").
Now I am waiting for the phone to run out of battery so I can try to VOL DOWN + POWER btn but I have no hope...
So in the end, do you have some idea?
I am very angry because I always rooted and installed custom roms, starting from HTC Diamond, always bought only HTCs and never had a problem, now I did this bulls**t with the phone I bought as gift for my father..
Thanks everyone any help will be appreciated.

try VOL UP + POWER
i start with HTC Diamond too, used one X, M7 and now M9, it really hard to brick compare to previous phone

Press VOL DOWN + POWER until you reboot to bootloader. From there reboot to recovery and flash custom rom.
fyi I always wipe dalvik cache, cache, system, data when installing custom rom coming from other roms and I don't have any issues whatsoever.

Most likely just change supersu for version 2.65. M9 is finicky about supersu.

If you were not S-OFF and wiped "real" firmware partitions like hboot, radio and so on your device is not bricked at all as the others already stated
1. Try VOL UP + POWER or VOL DOWN + Power until you reboot to Bootloader
2. Enter Download / Fastboot mode and flash new recovery using fastboot flash recovery yourRecoveryFile.zip
3. Reboot into recovery
4. adb push yourCustomRomFile.zip /sdcard
5. Flash Custom Rom
6. Full Reboot
7. Enter Recovery
8. Flash supersu 2.65 or 2.71 Beta
9. Full reboot
10 Be happy

Ok guys really thank you, so do you say its is not bricked. I will try as soon as I have time and/or battery dies (already tried with VOL DOWN + POWER but not with VOL UP + POWER ).
With my other M9to flash custom rom I had to get S-OFF with Sunshine app.
If I can enter recovery, can I flash a custom rom even if i am S-ON? Now I am in unlocked state and S-ON.
Eventually can I try restore my other M9 backup, done with TWRP 2.8.7.1, to this M9 having TWRP 3.0.0-0? I will check but I think they got same firmware (3.35.401.12).
Thanks again everyone

You don't need to be S-OFF to flash a custom ROM. You only got to check if the ROM base matches the firmware that is currently installed on your device
S-OFF unleashes just a little bit more freedom to play with your device, but at the same moment the risk of making a mistake and really bricking the device is highly increased.

This is a good example of why I hate toolkits and advise people never to use them, unless you already know how to do all this stuff manually. It's too easy to get into trouble you don't know how to get out of.
Try pressing all three buttons until you reboot if the other options don't work.

Yes you are right, before to start play with roms and stuff I usually lost days and days reading everything possible for every passage, while this time I was like "Oh cool a toolkit! Easy way let's do it!". Anyway I don't want to give responsibility to Windroid toolkit, only my fault I did things without thinking too much.
Respect for eveyone working hard to give us knowledge and this beautiful forum!
I will keep you informed thanks again everyone

Ok guys here I am.
Everything ok now thanks everyone again.
With phone switched off due to dead battery I was able to start with VOL DOWN + PWR and I could reach bootloader, download mode and recovery. Installed custom ROM, flashed SuperSU 2.65 and now I am on the road again :good::good::good:.
Only problem left is since I installed ROM (ViperOneM9 4.3.0) I cannot use adb: adb devices return "unauthorized".
I read various posts and the problem seems to be the phone not showing prompt to accept RSA key.
If I connect my other M9 everything is ok.
I think to have tried most of everything people suggest in different posts:
- updated android sdk
- reinstalled android sdk
- deleted adbkey and adbkey.pub in my %user%/.android folder (it recreates files but still no prompt on phone)
- reinstalled drivers on PC
- reinstalled rom with wipe during aroma installer
- looking in the phone in "system/data/misc/adb" for keys files but my folder is empty (checked on my other fully working M9 and that folder is empty too)
- tried install Minimal ADB and Fastboot [4-27-16] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
- toggled USB debugging on/off rebooting phone and PC
If you have more advice I am glad to hear.
Thanks again to everyone to get my phone back working!

Is your other m9 running the same rom? The problem wont be the pc. If you can see one you can see all. Adb is versatile like that..
Try adb at twrp or one of the other booting modes. I'm quite sure adb is twrp only..

Hi, on other M9 i have same rom but 4.2.1 version (4.3.0 on not working one).
If I go on recovery or bootloader or download mode adb return "list of device attached" like it dosnt feel nothing connected. On the other M9 all is ok.
I just tried install a VM with Windows 7 but I am not able to let it see the USB device
