I am blanking... is booting to the hboot screen and selecting FASTBOOT, pressing the power button (to enter fastboot mode), the same thing as entering adb reboot bootloader (from a terminal window running ADB obviously)?
I don't think it is... but then that's my question: How can you get to "fastboot mode" on your phone via ADB?
Thanks!
Please stop making threads for any other little issue that comes in mind. Keep it in 1 thread, cleaner and easier to follow !

adb reboot bootloader = power into hboot and select fastboot
they both boot the bootloader (fastboot)
also as these guys said, easier to follow in one thread buddy

this is the first time i am posting, i do hope i can get some help.
my phone is now s-off and i can boot into the Hboot during boot up, but i can't boot into my phone. It just stuck at the HTC logo screen without booting into my phone.
its my first time playing with android and i would appreciate if anyone could help me out here. I've read i think almost all the relevant problems and solution out there to help but i am really confused by all of them. what i need is a simple and clear way of doing it. step by step would really be perfect.
thank you and please be patient with me.. i am a noob..
cheers
Did you install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
hi Sleef,
i don't think i have. could you guide me in installing one? thanks
I assume it would involve using adb to push it to your phone and beyond that, I'd probably have to do as much reading as you to be up to speed on how to do that.
Check the stickies in the development section. I'm willing to bet that somewhere in there will be the files you need and some instructions on how to make it all happen.
It'll be worth your while to brush up on using adb.

thanks sleef,
right now i am trying to use the sdb to push the clockworkmod. but the problem is the adb does not recognize my phone.
i have the same problem on my desire z,
i need help
If you have adb setup correctly on your PC, then you should be able to boot the phone into fastboot mode (hold down the trackpad button and press Power, with it turned off), and then when you plug it into the PC, you can do "fastboot devices" and get it to see your phone.
If you have got fastboot working, and you have the engineering hboot installed, then you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flasha new recovery image. You can get the Clockwork image for Vision from http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ (2.5.1.3 is the latest).

i guess my adb is working on the PC. For the fastboot mode, can i enter it by holding the power button and volume down, then enter fastboot mode? is that the same?
my main problem is that adb does not detect the phone currently, this prevents me from going further to save my phone.

Yes, that's the other way of getting into fastboot. It should say "fastboot usb" on the phone screen if it's working properly.
Hi!
I recently rooted my Desire with unrevoked 3 and I installed the ReflexS rom. Everything worked perfectly!
I was curious for Cyanogenmod and I downloaded version 7.0.3 directly through Rom Manager. When the download was completed it suggested to install which I agreed. I think clear Dalvik cache was marked, but clear data cache was not. I agreed... maybe my first mistake.
After this Cyanogenmod was installed, but my Desire stayed on the boot screen (sakteboarding android with running arrow) for over 30min so I took out the battery. I restarted and it goes well until the android setup screen "tap the android to begin". I can tap and it gets glowing, but it does not continue! I can not go any further than this. The only thing I can do is choose a language or shutdown.
To overcome this issue I thought of recovering/reinstalling my previous ROM. I also have a Titanium backup.
Now here's the problem: when start up into recovery, my volume buttons won't work so I can not enter into the recovery menu.
What should I do?
I'm getting desperate, because my phone is down at the moment!
Thanks for your help!
you mean volume buttons dont work in recovery or in bootloader ?
in recovery you can navigate using trackpad, in bootloader you must wait around 10-15 seconds until you can use volume buttons to navigate.
and yes it was a BIG mistake not to make a wipe before the flashing of cyanogenmod....
you should have done a full wipe
Ok will firstly, go to the Cyanogenmod stable topic to read how to install out. Secondly, avoid rom manager. Thirdly, to boot into recovery, boot your phone like normal and plug your phone into your pc. After about 20 second the usb will kick in. This is where you use the adb reboot recovery command in command prompt or terminal. Enjoy.

What if your phone doesn't boot into recovery in this case and you get an error that says "FAILED (Status Malformed (1 bytes))"?

You can alwys get into recovery through the adb shell.
Hi.
I know this tread is old but the issue is relevant because this is still a persistant problem.First of all thanks for the tip and second i have great,great news !!! you dont even have to deassemble the phone to put the up down button to work.Just insert the alcool UNDER the volume button with a seringe with a needle and click the button for a minute or two...wait until the alcool evaporates and VOILĂ !! problem fixem !! Not need todeassemble or using adb.Just do this and you will be fine.
I was trying to look what was installed on a friend's HTC Desire, so I used "adb reboot bootloader", and only used "fastboot devices" to make sure it sees the smartphone. I left it connected for some time while I was looking for some things related to installing a custom firmware and it got hot. I have a HTC Hero and I had it gone hotter and nothing happened, but after I restarted this HTC Desire it kept restarting continously after it played the HTC animation. I can still get into the bootloader/recovery, but that's kind about it, nothing more. Should I just wait for it to cool down, or I might just bricked it?
<<Update>>
It's been more than 8 hours and the smartphone still does this. The thing is the volume buttons are broken, I only have fastboot control over it. The only solution that came to my mind was to flash it with a Touch ROM, but I can't find a fastboot command to restart directly into recovery, I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. Does anybody have an idea on how to get directly to recovery from fastboot?
Well, in fasboot you select "bootloader", then recovery.

I can't do that because the volume buttons are broken, so I can't select anything.

Download the 4ext recovery.img on your PC. Then boot the phone into fastboot and run the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
It worked, now the phone it's fully functional (except the volume buttons of course) .
I used the following steps:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
2. wipe both types of data
3. went to advanced menu and used the other type of wipe (dalvanic or something).
Thanks .
HI all,
I've asked this question on the firmware thread, but I do not have an answer. So I'm trying here.
I installed the new firmware without any problems. But after the reboot I'm stuck on the white screen with the green logo, and I do not have connection with the computer via fastboot (waiting for device). As against the phone is communicating with the computer by HTC Sync or Windows Explorer.
What can I do?
Thanks

How did you install the firmware?
Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader?
thanks clsA
For mike's method (re-lock the bootloader and fastboot) :
1.If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
2.If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
3.Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
4.Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
5.Open command prompt
6.Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
7.Connect device to the PC
8.In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
9.Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
10.Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
11.Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
12.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
13.Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
14.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
15.Type: fastboot reboot
Currently I have no access to the bootloader
Although the phone is stuck on the white screen it rings when they call me
Turn off the phone holding power button for almost 15seconds till completely shut down. Then hold volume down and power button. You'll be able to enter boot loader. Also provide more details...version firmware, rom, etc
Are you flash a fw twice ?
Try to unlock bootloader and recovery again brother

Yes, twice. And it was ok. I do not have access to the bootloader
You don't provide enough details. But for me it seems like you flash firmware with stock recovery and if you have custom Rom the phone won't boot. Are you sure you are shutting down the phone properly? Then hold volume down for a second. Then WITHOUT release the volume button hold down power WITHOUT release anything till I boot to boot loader?
The phone vibrates once and nothing happens. Still the white screen.
hold power + vol up....if the phone reboots...hold vol down...

Hi people,
I unlocked, rooted, and flashed Liquid on my XL tonight. Everything seemed to be going fine when I rebooted again and got a bootloop. TWRP is not loading, what I am getting is the Android on it's back menu and here's where I'm lost. I'm getting the error in the screenshots when I try to sideload the factory image from ADB. My cords are good, drivers are updated, and I have ADB and Fastboot set to Large Address Aware. I don't want to admit that I have a paperweight now. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance

Can you reboot to download mode (fastboot)? Hold the power button and vol down buttons together.
If you can get into the bootloader, use fastboot to flash the factory image instead of using adb. Or try issuing 'adb reboot-bootloader' command to reboot to bootloader

Both volume buttons? I've only done the power and down volume. I will try both of these when I get home tonight, or when I wake up. I stayed up until 6am working on this and did not get much sleep. I'm also going to uninstall and reinstall the Pixel driver. I don't remember off the top of my head if I installed it before or after I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10.

Sorry for being unclear. To get into the bootloader (where you can use the fastboot command to re-flash the factory image), you hold the Power Button and Volume Down buttons together (not volume up button). This is what your screen should look like if you successfully get to the bootloader: https://www.xda-developers.com/files/2016/10/CvqcEDHUsAA_EY4.jpg
If you see that screen, you're sitting good. Download the latest factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin) and run the flash-all.bat (for windows) script to reflash your phone. You will have to have fastboot drivers installed on your computer for that to work.
If your device is recognized by adb (if you type 'adb devices' and it shows your device as the output) but you are having trouble getting to the bootloader, you can type in 'adb reboot-bootloader' to reboot your device into fastboot mode where you can flash the factory image. Hopefully that helps push you in the right direction. Your phone isn't bricked/lost forever if adb or fastboot recognizes your device and you can save it!

That's where that first screenshot came from. I will try the reboot bootloader tonight. They sort of recognize my phone, but I can't get them to flash anything. This isn't my first rodeo with borked phones, but I don't think I've had this much trouble since I placed the wrong boot animation on my Droid 4 many years ago.
:victory: :highfive: It's flashing right now. You don't know how much I appreciate it.
Hi, thought I would jump in on this thread. I have the same issue, and I can get to the fastboot screen and device is recognised by adb with "fastboot devices". When I try to flash-all I get the message that the device must be unlocked. Any idea why mine in different? I just have stock recovery, maybe that is it. The device also will not boot into recovery, it just bootloops

Before you can flash the factory image, you have to unlock the bootloader by issuing this command first: 'fastboot flashing unlock'
