[Q] RUU error 170: usb connection error - Verizon HTC One (M7)

My phone's screen was broken, I could only use my phone with some tools like screenshot. Today before I was about to repair the phone, I wiped all the things (including system, I don't know what I was thinking about, I thought I was doing a factory reset) in TWRP recovery. So now the thing is tricky. I cannot boot my phone, and I don't know what is going on there because the screen is broken. I connected my phone to PC, and after typing "adb devices", I saw that device was offline(but at least there was a device listed, though it was offline instead of attched).
So I cannot use adb, I tried 4.4.3 stock RUU, but it said that "ERROR 170 USB CONNECTION ERROR". I've installed HTC Sync Manager, it couldn't detect my phone, either.
I cannot enter the recovery, either. I don't know what to do now. Wonder if anybody here could help me. Any help appreciated.:crying:

Finally it worked, I kept pressing volume up and power button to reboot to fastboot, then pressed volume down and power in order to recovery, now RUU worked just fine. Cheers!

[Q] gnex boot loop!

hey everyone! new to the forum. needed help bad.
i have been running CM 10.2.0 for awhile now, pretty much since it was released without any issues. yesterday for whatever reason while surfing the net my phone restarted. now it keeps restarting every 15-20 secs. my main concern at this point is saving my photos before i reset my phone and start from scratch. any ideas as to how to back up photos?
some notes on my rebooting condition.:
phone keeps rebooting even when booted up in safe mode.
-in safe mode i do have more time before it reboots itself
phone does not reboot itself when in bootloader mode or recovery mode
i tried to back up to sdcard while in recovery mode but it fails when it tries to back up data. i also tried using nexus root toolkit but to no avail.
any help would be much appreciated. feels weird to not have a phone.lol. thanks in advance

Hate when a rom just goes bad for some reason.. Could you supply the error messages you get when your backup fails? I'm guessing it might have to do with file names having weird symbols. Also you might want to backup different folders of your sdcard at a time to avoid failure; i.e., "adb pull /sdcard/Download <some_directory_on_computer>".

thanks for the reply. system backup finishes then it goes to back up data. after while it says that there's an error making backup image of /data
is it possible to just to use command prompt to just pull my pictures? would it just be adb pull /sdcard/dcim <some directory>?
also for some reason i am unable to communicate with my phone using adb prompts. yesterday i typed in adb devices and my phones serial number would come up as connected. today under "list of devices" its just blank....not sure what to do.
UPDATE: i was able to get my pictures off of my phone. i launched CMD through the nexus toolkit and it seemed to detect my phone.
i flashed my phone back to stock using the toolkit. for some reason after everything was said and done my phone wasnt actually set back to stock. my phone still has all my apps etc. it still restarts every few seconds.
i tried a couple force flashes using the toolkit again but still same phone. nothing has changed or been fixed. not really sure what my next plan of attack should be. any guidance is very much appreciated.

Glad to hear you got your pictures off. As far as wiping your phone. If you got everything off your sdcard that you want, you can do a fastboot wipe.
-press volume up + volume down + power to get to fastboot mode
-connect the phone to your computer and enter in the command window "fastboot devices" to see if it's connected
-enter "fastboot -w" to do a full erasure of the phone's /data partition
Then use nexus toolkit, recovery, or fastboot to flash a new rom from there. This has saved me in the past in a similar situation. Definitely make sure you have everything off your sdcard you want to keep before trying this though.

thanks so much for the help so far. unfortunately everything you have told me so far has not worked.lol. i followed the steps like u said but the phone just stays on the "google" screen after i install a stock rom. left for 2.5 hours in hopes of it doing its thing.lol. had to pull battery and start it up. nothing changed, phone still restarts i also tried using toolkit to flash stock + unroot (both in bricked mode and normal mode), flashed zip stock images and installing in recovery mode. i also used CMD to push stock images to my phone and installing but still nothing.
i also followed the instructions extactly on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
all of the steps successfully completed but after a reboot my phone was left unchanged.
i may have screwed up my description of the problem earlier. the phone restarts after my phone stop responding/freezes. i also find that there almost always is a program that stops working. i find handcent sms is having the most errors. tried to uninstall but phone freezes. tried in fastboot/adb but nothing happens.
thanks again for the help so far.

[Q] Phone stuck in bootloop, can't flashboot anything. Suggestions?

Ahh my phone has had quite the past week on this CM12 Android 5.0 ROM...
I was just listening to music and checking social media on my phone when bam, it turns off.
I held the power button and it didn't turn on the first few times.
Then finally, it boots, but it won't get past the splash screen.
It's stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into the recovery. I can't factory reset it either.
I tried to go to fastboot and flash the recovery again, but my computer doesn't recognize my phone.
I have adb, fastboot, and all of the correct drivers installed and it won't do anything.
I tried flashing with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but it just said "<waiting for device>" even though my phone was connected and in fastboot mode.
I don't know what to do. I can't boot it, I can't get into recovery, I can't factory reset it, and I can't fastboot anything.
What should I do? Please I am open to ANY suggestions at this point. I can't deal with this constantly not having a phone crap.
Thanks, it'll be much appreciated.
Extra Info:
Device manager lists my phone as this: "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)"
Every time I go into fastboot, my computer displays this message: "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it"

Make sure you aren't connected via usb to your computer when you attempt to force a reboot. It should be vol up and power until it reboots and then switch to vol down to enter hboot.

I can get into hboot and all that just fine. The phone won't boot, and I can't get into recovery is my problem. Oh and the fact that the computer doesn't recognize my phone in fastboot
Update: I just whipped out a really old computer running Windows XP and I installed the platform-tools and HTC One drivers on it. I hooked the phone up to the computer, and the drivers worked. I flashed TWRP and it flashed successfully according to fastboot, but it won't go into recovery still. What should I do now? I know I can RUU somehow (I'm not really sure how though), but I want to try and avoid that, if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks people!
EDIT: NVM it actually booted! What a success! This stuff is crazy!

G3 D851 hard brick or is it? Need help!!!!

Hello,
I seem to have really messed up my G3 and after days of research I have not been able to get anywhere with it. I've read posts of people having similar issues, but their solutions do not seem to work for me.
What I tried to do is flash the ROM, starting with TWRP. After installing TWRP and rebooting I was getting the "no command" message on the screen. I believe (this was days ago), I used ADB to remove laf and reboot the phone (for some reason I could not back it up). The phone rebooted in fastboot and it has been downhill from there.
No download mode. When normally started the phone just hangs on the LG logo. Vol- and power gets me to the "Factory data reset", but if I do that, it flashes "erasing" for a second and it goes back to the LG logo screen.
I can get to fastboot, however, any command that I enter in CMD or Linux terminal just shows up on the phone's screen and it does not do anything. Fastboot devices shows the device as "????????" in Linux and as "?" in Windows. I have tried multiple drivers for Windows.
I tried BoardDiag (3 or 4 different versions running as admin) and shorting the pins, but any time I try to run the checks, I get an error - "No response from device" or "Device was not found in dload trying flash programmer"
I also tried SmartBootDiag, but once it detects the phone, it does its checks and it disconnects the device, without giving me an option to flash anything. Looking at the logs, it does not find any anti-rollback issues.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am not sure what else to try.......
Thank you.
Anyone??

No USB Debugging, No ROM... Only bricked HTC One X. Help please!

Hello everyone!
So earlier today I tried installing CM11 on my phone, but instead of just a normal wipe I somehow entered advanced wipe and wiped my system, data and everything that can get wiped with advanced wipe...
I made a backup copy before that thankfully and still have stuff on my PC. However I am unable to fix anything as my volume up/down buttons aren't working and I cannot access Hboot.
I tried a tutorial earlier, but I get stuck at <Waiting for any device>. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692681)
Also tried installing drivers cause there is exclamation mark on my "One" driver and installed universal ADB driver but no use.
Anyone have a solution or anykind of tip, hint or help? It'd be appreciated!
Thank you in advance
- Desperate bricker xP
UPDATE: ADB/Fastboot don't list any devices when I do "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" command.
I have turned to trying to open my HOX and fix volume button in the meanwhile. However it seems my case gets stuck bit too low to get a good grip and pull the screen out with the rest of phone. I'm not using any kind of pry opening tools and i don't think they would matter much anyways.

Bricked Swift

Hello Everyone!
I recently tried to root my wileyfox swift but failed miserably. I did the following when fastbooting the recovery image -> fastboot flash system ****.img.
However, i realized my mistake too late, and now my phone is all messed up!
The phone doesnt show anything when i try to start it and i cant access fastboot again, to undo my mistake. My device manager recognizes my phone when its plugged in to my computer but i cant access any files.
Am i screwed or is there any solution to this?
Thanks in advance!!
Try to access the bootloader with the hardware button combo first (volume down + power / volume up + power). If you get into recovery, you will be able to get to the bootloader with adb or a menu entry. Depends on what recovery you have installed for the latter.
In case you have no access to the bootloader (proper soft brick), go for the QFIL method. Avoid using it unless there is no other option.
Here is the thread:

Cant access bootloader.
However, tried your second option and it went well until i got "SaharaDownload fail" at the last step, and now my computer doesnt recognize the phone in device manager. It does not show anywhere that my phone is connected.

Does the phone give any indication of being connected? Notification light, starting the display, etc?
If yes, make sure the phone is in the correct mode and check the drivers - some of the other forum members mentioned this and the gymnastics around the battery. This would be on my to-do list. The device might come up on the device manager as different one, so monitor the manager for any changes once you connect the device.
If you happen to have Windows 7 device laying at you house, you can try with it (if only not to worry about compatibility and sporadic Win10 behaviour).
It will be a good idea to check the turkish website for General Mobile 4G (one of the Android one derivatives of the hardware) where some people have faced similar problems using the same tool.

Finally got my phone back on the device manager! However, I still get sahara error when trying the back to false method.
