[Q] stuck on htc quietly brilliant screen

Hello everyone, I made a mistake (I am a big noob) and I don't know how to fix it.
I wanted to have fresh phone (real factory reset) to back-up and start over, so in recovery mode (interim one from paul) I wiped data, cache partition and I also formated cache,data, sdcard and system.
Now, I am stuck on htc quietly brilliant screen, I have access to hboot, recovery etc. I have been looking for a solution for 2 days without succes, I am sad.
Can someone help please ? thanks guys.

You wiped the system so there is no android on there!
Eirher download a new Rom and flash or relock bootloader and use ruu

The part you did wrong: It's true that you wipe (dalvik) cache and data before flashing a custom rom. That will perform a factory reset. Wiping system means deleting android itself, as stated before. That's what you did wrong.
Now, we can't know why you wanted to start all over again, but assuming you already flashed a custom recovery, you wanted to install a custom rom. Just go ahaed and do so, your problem will be fixed.

thanks, but I can't because this custom recovery doesn't allow me to mount usb and i have no rom on my sd card

That's not actually a problem. I assume you aleady have the android SDK set up, if you don't, please use the search function or google. try the following command while in the platform-tools folder:
adb push path/to/custom/rom /sdcard
or for linux/mac:
sudo ./adb push path/to/custom/rom /sdcard
This will copy the file to the root of your sdcard, so you can flash it. Good luck!
P.S. there's a thanks button, too

That wont work as ADB does not work on any of the custom recoveries at the moment. Im stuck in the same situtation at the mo and as phone is branded cant get the RUU to reflash so just playing the waiting game until either ADB/USB mount available in recovery or S-Off available.

Same problem here! I unfortunatly erase everything from my one x and i can't restore anything!! How can i solve it?? My device is unlocked but stay in s-on mode! Why? From fastboot i can't flash anything! Help!!

Hello folks, problem solved by following leejames instructions :
flash stock recovery
relock bootloader
use ruu
I'm so happy. Thanks.

Mee too!! Thanks a lot!! I'm very very very very very very very very very very very very very very happy!!
1 flash stock recovery
2 relock bootloader
3 use ruu
It works fine!!

I do exactly the same thing , but half way through the RUU process it gives me an error saying i need the correct RUU. anyone can help ?

All you have to do is grab an RUU, run it. now on your pc search for %temp%in there locate ROM.zip. Extract the boot.img and system.img. and push them thru fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
adb reboot

i did that , but i get this error:

JB OTA for HTC_044 not working // manual firmware also not working (SOLVED)

I've been trying to update my HOX to JB since yesterday but to no avail:
Im on everything stock (ROM, Recovery etc) and phone is un-rooted. I relocked the bootloader too. but when the update downloads and the phone restarts after a few while, a red triangle with exclamation marks appear and phone restarts.
I've tried to do this 3 times now with no avail.
alternately i've been trying to follow this and when i reach the flashing firmware part, it fails after 2 tries and after the 3rd it just stucks:
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (12875 KB)...

after 3rd attempt it just stays in sending 'zip' state
anyone got a clue how i can solve either problem?! :/
note my camera app is a modified version. rest all ROM is stock. could this be the issue?! if so, then any way to resolve this other than RUU method?

The last method you tried will not work if the bootloader is still locked !

The red triangle is normally an indication that you do not have the stock recovery. Try to reflash recovery and then fastboot erase cache before trying again, You would need to unlock bootloader in order to fastboot flash recovery. As pointed out in my other reply to you, you would probably need to revert to the stock camera app as well.
Using the fastboot flash zip method, you need to have a locked bootloader and then enter command fastboot oem rebootRUU before running the fastboot flash zip command.

Ah like that ! Thanks clyde :thumbup:
I did not read carefully... was kinda busy with my mac & cheese !!!

[Q] HBoot Relocked, S-ON, Root, trying to upload stock ROM

Hello,
Im having reallly big problem with my Desire HD device and unfortunately,I realize this is only my fault and inadvertence. Im hoping that someone will help me with my problem...
First of all, I've had stock 2.3.5 on my device and every possible blockade. I've used Downgrade_v2 files (with adb and Gingerbreak and 1.32 stock android) but it wasn't working as it supossed to do. I've found nice tool to unblock DHD, called EasyAceRootTool. Everything went OK, new H-Boot was uploaded, unblock process went smoothly, Revovery Touch was uploaded to DHD as well, Superuser was installed too.
And at this level I've hurried too much, because I've installed by recovery new rom on Android 4.0.4 , this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004
And of course... I know now iVe forgot to make S-OFF, android doesn't start, nothing happens at all....
My Hboot now says :

Wait, no. Flash the ROM from recovery. You can't flash zips like that in fastboot. You can flash ROM images, but it makes more sense for you to get a recovery and flash zips instead.
If you don't have a recovery, first you need to install one. If you have a rooted ROM, you can install a recovery from apps: ROM Manager for ClockworkMod, 4ext Updater apk (from 4ext's website) for 4ext, and GooManager for TWRP. If you don't, download a recovery.img and flash it from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
If you do, just go straight to flashing the zip from recovery. Then,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

What are you trying to do?? If you have an unlocked bootloader a RUU will never flash. Besides, being S-ON requires the specific RUU for your device.
If you have CWM and an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any custom rom in recovery but need to flash boot.img after flashing the rom.

You can't flash apks in recovery, only zips. Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

Help: Bricked Htc one M8 GPe

Hello everyone, I started to play around with all the diff things you can do with a rooted phone had plans for getting a custom ROM for my phone. Let me stat by saying that I am very new to all this.
I day ago i was getting ready to install the custom ROM for viper (ViperOneM8_1.7.1) reason being is coming from a htc one m7 with sense i wanted to get back to sense from my stock GPe m8.
I was able to unlock my bootloader and get my phone rooted I fallowed this video (How to Root your HTC One M8 - Full Guide) From Sakitech... or least I think im rooted still... I'll come back to you as to why I say "I think I'm rooted".
I thought it would be very simple just fire up the custom recovery and flash the ROM and sit back while it flashed, well everything went down hill from this point. Let me tell you what i did.
First i got to the custom recovery and I did a wipe I did advanced wipe and checked the boxes this is where I think I deleted the OS(after this I could not get back on the phone to do anything only will boot to recovery and it say no OS installed then asks if I want to get SuperSU installed this is where I already thought I was rooted but maybe on not??? I'm very confused about that
Then I used the sideload method to push the rom zip and try to flash the rom at this point I cant get it to flash. First I was getting the MD5 error I checked that off now it will just fail either saying error executing the binary from the zip or that zip is corrupted. (I tried re-downloading the ROM even from mirror link)
At this point I am very frustrated and feel helpless. I tried my best to keep from posting this and try to research to see if i can find the solution myself but I'm having no luck I have my days off from work to get my phone up and running or ill just have to go but another phone. At this point I really need some help. All I want is a working phone if i can get back to GPe stock that would be fine or make the ViperOne work.
Attempts to solve my problem: I tried flashing GPE4.4.3_m8.zip and other stock GPe ROMs nothing works
Thanks for reading and all your help I will sit nest to my comp and answer anything to try make everything as clear as possible. Thank you again

So I tried ViperOne again and it was starting to install but then fails. I searched around and I found that i need to have s-off to be able to install the ROM.
Can I get s-off from the recovery or bootloader/fastboot?

Try this :
Do a full wipe in the recovery, install viper rom but do not choose to do a full wipe in the aroma installer. Once finished you flash the boot.img via fastboot and then reboot the phone.
You do not need s-off to flash custom roms. But the GPE thingy can be the problem....

gave me an error

Its a stock Google play edition I bought from the Google paly store, I didnt flash any other rom the ViperOne rom was going to be the first flash on the phone

Do you have an SD reader on your laptop? You can buy a big SD that you can put a small SD card inside it, then put the ROM zip file inside the SD card, after that plug it in your M8 and flash it via twrp.
Let me know if you couldn't understand any point cuz my English is not that good.

I got the boot img from the ViperOne zip and ran the rom through sideload. what command do i run to flash the boot.img?
Code:
fastboot flash boot.img
?
also the ViperOne install failed said status 7 and some synlinks failed

Correct command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
status 7 means you don't have right recovery for that ROM
Also search about Stock GPE partition layout, is it same as normal non-GPE. I doubt it as I seen somewhere about people do full conversion to GPE, they need to reflash firmware to correct the partition for Sense ROM. This is what I understand from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

I have researched about the partition layout and I think you are right. How do i get the right partition layout? this is all a learning experience for me lol. I just hope i can get my phone working again.
In thats case then i might be worse off then i though my phone is s-on an there is no way for me to get it s-off in its current bricked state... to the the Ruu to install
correct me if im wrong but then what i have to do is just flash the stock rom for gpe beacuse since my phone was already stock GPe the the frieware(partition layout) will apcct it... right?
I want to thank everyone at the this point it looks like i have a lot of learning to do. Thank you

You should really read carefully before doing stuff with your phone, especially when you are unexperienced.
If you are unsure about anything, ask before you try messing with something and hope that it will work.
You didnt, and now you have the mess.
But now even now you are not able to follow the instructions people are giving you.
In the post you just quoted there are instructions how to go from GPE to Sense and also back (#1 and #2 post)

[GUIDE][FIX]Cant unlock bootloader? Read here for a Fix

Hey guys , here's a simple guide on how to unlock your bootloader without having to downgrade all the way back to 2.17, in my case i had 2.17 system since it was the most stable(2.18 is a cluster hell of bugs) with 2.18 bootloader and recovery(yes you can mix and match)and so i went to try the bootloader unlock with just flashing the 2.19 system.img, that dint do anything the "getprop ro.isn > /factory/asuskey" command would do nothing, the bootloader wasnt unlock and so i did the following:
1.Downloaded the2.19 ota manually here link
2. I extracted the droidboot.img(fastboot img) from the 2.19 ota zip
3.Rebooted to fastboot mode
4. Then ran this command "fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img"
5,After this i rebooted back into system and rerun the unlock bootloader steps and viola the bootloader unlocked!( it wasn't before simply because the 2.18 fastboot does not have this unlock command)
6.After you unlock the bootloader your device will most likely get stuck at the bootanimation screen, at this time reboot back into fastboot mode and downloaded the black splashscreen here and run "fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img". then reboot back to system and your device should boot all the way into your homescreen and your done =]
All credits go to ssj and shakalacas(ota links splashscreen link) for the bootloader unlock.
THIS WILL NOT WIPE ANYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE, if you mess up the commands thats on you follow the guide properly and everything will be fine.

That second link is trying to run some chrome extension, not download the file?

I think this is the file you were trying to link to:
https://mega.co.nz/#!IlMGiZ7I!kepXRFda7cgNPWHQovkCZaMaD2zVF4UufAJT6YEDU3k

I'm on 2.18 and rooted. Problem is, I uninstalled or disabled a bunch of ASUS apps, will I have an issue if I use SuperSU to unroot and try to restore or upgrade my phone to 2.19?
Also, I have model number ASUS_Z00AD. Is this firmware OK to install on my phone?

edit: nvm...

Both download links link to the same file. splashscreen.img

Uh.. wtf? Since when has the boot loader been unlocked? I was under the impression that we were waiting for an unlock tool as has been discussed in a few threads.. is this legit?
Edit: nevermind.. I stop looking for a day or two and this device's boot loader is unlocked. I am very excited and glad that I picked this device as it seems like it is in for a lot of love

LOL... Gotta love the devs who tinker on here... Now we might actually get a recovery that will do nandroid backups in case of those "little" mistakes/problems that crop up from time to time...

This is probably a silly question, but I have the ZE550ML and the latest update is 2.18, meaning that unlocking the bootloader it is still not possible can I install droidboot.img(fastboot img) from the 2.19 ZE551ML on my device? Or that will just hard brick my device?
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Continue the great work XDA crew =)

I am on 2.18 and can't seem to find any way to update to 2.19, all the links are dead.
so I rooted and flashed droidboot, but when i run the adb commands it says unlock failed and restarts
any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to flash the pre rooted 2.19 system.img, then you will be able to unlock, since 2.19 has the unlock files in system.

I follow this method and received the following error on CMD

im on 2.20 and it wont let me do anything.. i get the white boot screen instead of black but bootloader doesnt exist and it wont download twrp any suggestions?

Success
My phone's recovery stopped working, and the bootloader was locked, but I found this thread. I think I was able to get it working.
I extracted the droidboot.img from the file in the OP.
I copied the droidboot.img to my working directory, and tried to flash it.

I put the phone into the bootloader mode. (For anyone reading, to get into the bootloader, turn the phone completely off. Hold the power button until it vibrates. Then hold the volume up key.)

I believe my bootloader is unlocked. Let me try to flash the recovery. (My recovery was corrupted longggg before doing this.)

No permission error! (Before this, I would usually have gotten an error that says "FAILED (remote: Permission denied".)
---- Important Notes ----
NO WHITE BACKGROUND IN BOOTLOADER.
Many people have reported seeing an inverted background in the bootloader. I don't have that.
TRIPLE DOTS IN COMMAND PROMPT
The triple dots you see when I run the unlock command are actually there. They are not placeholders.
------------
Right now I'm booting into recovery mode to flash a ROM to the phone. I'll update if I get the phone working.
