[Q] Can't accas usb, recovery nor usb in Hboot menu

Hi,
I flashed my HTC one-x to android revolution a big while back. and decided that i wanted to go back to the stock rom. i found a thread which told me i could put a stock version as a backup on my phone and use the recovery system to just simply recover to that rom.
well.. that didnt't work. i must assume i used the wrong custom rom. but now i cant get into recovery either. the only thing i need to be able to do is to open my sd card through usb on my pc (windows 7 ultimate) and then i can place the proper software and roms on the phone so i can install the custom rom through zip.
but even if i get the files on my phone. the recovery system still wont work. i just get a picture of a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation mark inside of that.
i am very desperate right now and i have no clue how to fix this. and i also don't 100% know what software i need to put on my phone if i manage to get the storage accessible again.
Kind regards,
Senith.
i now noticed that the red triangle is the stock recovery but i need a custom one in order to proceed there. i had clockwork on it before i tried to recover to the stock rom, but i have no clue hot to get clockwork back on the phone (since i cant access the usb storage).

I assume bootloader is still unlocked. You can use this to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Just put your phone in fastboot mode and plug it into your computer
Make sure while in bootloader it says Fastboot USB
Im certainly no expert here. But im sure that will fix as this program sends the file from your computer to your phone so you don't need access to the SD

That triangle actually represents STOCK recovery.
Try flashing a custom recovery again and then do fastboot erase cache

ok. so now i got the recovery on there and access to the sd card. but what rom do i need to install in order to make it as if it came from the factory?

When you first got root, did you do a nandroid backup of your stock?

well, since i was an even bigger noob back then. i did not..

I believe these are the files you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189048

They should revert you completely to stock.
Good link also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714

Alright. thanks for the links. but how do i know which nandroid backup is the right one for me? there are tons of available ones. if i try to get the cid it just tells me: none.

got it. its 1.26.401.2

Run a ruu....its easier
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...12-radio-2120413520-release-274900-signedexe/
Relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu with admin rights. After this its stock. Then you can also install the official ota to JB

thank you very much =] I will certanly use all your information guys.

[Q] Hboot update now phone won't go past logo screen, please help.

Hi,
I followed this guide perfectly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272706
Mainly because I'm new to this & was easy to follow, i did everything it said, i checked the cid & used the firmware update this guy suggested, purely because my phone is stuck on 0.95 hboot & i needed higher to be able to install the latest custom cyanogen version.
Everything worked fine, right up until the end, after i unlocked the bootloader at the end, the phone restarted & now it has been sat on the htc quite brilliant screen.
I can go into the recovery things, i've tried factory reset & clearing the cache, but it hasn't altered the fact the phone won't load up past that logo screen.
Could you please help me in any way possible to get the phone on, i don't care if i have to just leave trying to update it or if i can reset what i've done somehow & there's a straight forward way of just getting jelly bean 4.2.2 without any custom mod things, any option please.
Lastly could you please be specific with your solution, as I said i'm new to this & having this attempt fail & no idea why after following a step-by-step guide, I'd just be happy to get my phone back on.
Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Jay.

I'd just like to add, i've not got a custom recovery or anything else added on the phone, i just followed that guide & did exactly as it said.

Could you please tell me how to run the commands from the phone? If that's what you mean, I've only been running them on the PC from the command prompt when doing things previously, unless you can still connect with the USB cable & it will work? As i was seeing it wouldn't find the device when i was trying yesterday.

No i didn't flash anything else except the firmware.zip which was needed to update the Hboot, so yes I'm still on the stock Rom. I just followed that guide exactly as it said, the Hboot has updated to 1.39, but the phone no longer goes past the HTC quietly excellent splash screen.
Originally the phone had Android 4.0.3 and Hboot 0.95, now from the bootloader menu screen it is saying the Hboot is 1.39. I've not changed or done anything else except clear the cache & factory reset options to try & get the phone to load.
Thanks for your time guys, I will post my result from the command if you can tell me how to run it, will see if it will run plugged in on USB, but yesterday it wasn't working to run commands from the PC, which is why I'm asking if i can run the fastboot commands from on the phone.
I have no custom recovery, rom or anything else flashed to the phone. My ideal outcome would be to get the jellybean 4.2.2 flashed & working, but i didn't get chance to go on & flash the recovery or rom, as the Hboot is as far as i got.
Thanks again,
Regards,
Jay.

I'm guessing that was ice cream sandwich you were on so if your still stock ie ice cream sandwich then I don't think it's compatible with the new hboot I could be wrong though maybe thant knows more. If I'm right you will need to download a custom jb Rom and recovery then flash them all.

Ok you are upgrade your phone to hboot1.39. Now download this recovery extract from zip arhiv the file recovery.img in your fastboot folder. Go with the phone in bootloader and conect to computer. after this run CMD and run the gomand fastboot flash recovery recovery.img after this go again in bootlader and choice the recovery.connect the phone and Mount the sd card you have option in this recovery copy your rom to sd card and flash it. Extract from the rom arhive boot.img in your fastboot folder. Go in bootloader and connect the phone and run cmd and the command fastboot flash boot boot.img and after this fastboot erase cache restart the phone and you have custom rom

Hi thanks for that guide, I'm all sorted now, basically did as you said, I flashed the CWM recovery, then the rom & finally the boot, it all works without a problem now PHEW!
I expected after doing the Hboot that the phone would still work as normal, however it wouldn't boot, probably because of what was suggested, the new Hboot would only allow Jelly Bean to work not ICS.
So with just flashing the new recovery & rom, it worked with no issues. Thanks again,
Regards,
Jay.

RESOLVED-[Q] HTC One M8 (HK)- Help flashing Lollipop

Hello all, I have searched for more than a couple hours and just seem to be getting nowhere. Here's the deal: I have an HTC One M8 with TWRP, root, an unlocked bootloader and S-ON. I want to install Lollipop, but can't take the OTA.
I know a little bit about what I'm doing, I tried to flash a rooted stock ROM but it didn't take. I wiped all directories but the internal storage. Also wiped the Dalvik, `but I could not get the update to take. I tried a few other things but out of fear of bricking my phone I wasn't very adventurous. I flashed the backup I made beforehand and it worked fine.
I think I have the wrong file...? Could my S-ON be the problem?
Sprint HTC One M8 (HK edition)
Android: v4.4.4
Sense: v6.0
Kernel: 3.4.0
Baseband: v1.08.20.0916
Build:3.31.654.2
All I want to do is flash lollipop. Will I have to lock the bootloader and go back to stock recovery to do it? Can I use adb sideload to install it via adb?
Thank you for your time.

I'm pretty sure my phone is toast.
PLEASE HELP, it worked just fine before I took your advice...
I relocked the bootloader and verified it multiple times before doing this. I made sure everything was exactly the way it was explained in the instructions, all files were correct.
I put the phone into fastboot, which I verified with adb.
I ran the Sprint_HTC_One_M8_HK_4.20.654.10_RUU .exe file and followed the instructions.
Both the program and pphone are currently frozen. They have been this way for almost 2 hours now.
The phone is stuck at the black HTC splash screen and the installer says
Updating...(0/7)... #(<--- these dots are still in motion like its installing)
Updating the ROM image on your Android phone...
[color=redPlease do not remove the USB connection from the Android phone or launch any programs during the update process.[/red]
Remember, this operation will take about 10 minutes.

Ok, the phone is not recognized by adb but is still recognized by fastboot, can I reboot it into TWRP by using
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
then just flash the backup I made before all this crap started?
*EDIT* RESOLVED
Never mind, I resolved it myself. I just typed
Code:
fastboot reboot
and hit enter. It booted right up.

I looked through it and all user made folders are gone, but all user downloaded apps are still there. I also noticed that superSU root access was off, but the 'apply on boot' option was turned on, could this be what crashed the updater?

[Q] Help! - Rooted Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) bricked after OTA accidently

followed a tutorial (Cnncted's youtube clip - How to root the ASUS ZenFone 2 ) to root
Accidentally (very stupid) pressed the update option when an OTA update showed up yesterday (Jul 8 2015), and after that the phone won't start properly - stopped at in search of incredible...
No luck with trying to boot into recovery mode (power + volume up). It just vibrates once and the screen is black. Trying to flash recovery image with ADB and flashtool etc, but the MTP usb connection failed. If I connect it to the PC using the USB cable and then press the power button to turn it on (stuck in that ..."incredible" screen), device manager shows the Z200AD name with a yellow exclamation mark beside, and Asus ZenUI software will automatically start. But it's not really recognized by the PC.
So...if you have any suggestions for me to try, please let me know and that would be greatly appreciated!
Harry
p.s. This is a US version, so the it's the WW sku?

Same problem here. I have a rooted 551ML and on July 6th I received an OTA update. I installed it and I'm stuck in boot loop. I have hundreds of family pictures in the internal memory.
The good news is that I have access to boot loader and recovery.
I could not find any custom recovery for Zenfone 2. They are not out yet, right? Is there any way to copy the internal memory of the phone (that doesnt load the OS) to the SD card? Or to paste a file img.boot taken from a downloaded official rom and copy it over the corrupted one on the phone's memory?

If you can access the bootloader, you can do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
Btw, there is a custom recovery out there (TWRP, check the Development section), but you will need an unlocked bootloader to use it in your state (I think).
US version is the WW SKU btw. Hope this helps.

Joel, thanks a lot! I will give it a try.
fingers and toes crossed...

I faced this problem too. All I did was to flash the boot.img of my version using fastboot,
Then I flashed the firmware, without factory reset I started the phone.
I was continiously getting an error "com.android.process has stopped". Ignoring that, I just backed up my whole data. Did a factory reset. Updated
Boom!! Everything was normal... I hope this helps

Just a quick update - followed the method in the link that Joel referred to, and everything worked beautifully. I did get two error messages like “the contact stopped working..." “The process android.process.acore has stopped working.” I fixed this problem by clearing the data/cache from the "contact" app, and that did the trick without a factory reset etc.
I unrooted the device using SuperSU. The fastboot screen, however, still shows a random serial number 0123456789ABCDEF. Is there a way to revert it back to the real one? I do see the real one from settings - about - status.

Isn't everyone serial number the same? mine is.

This is something that I am not sure of. Yours has been rooted as well?
I would like to know what the fastboot screen looks like before rooting.

Pretty sure rooting didn't affect my fastboot screen at all.

actually i rooted my zenfone 2 and there was an OTA and i tried to install it without un-rooting my phone. the phone would not turn on and it gets stuck in the boot animation.
the phone wasn't detected by the ADB in my pc so i thought of installing some custom recovery, thought that could help.
i tried installing TWRP but i did not unlock the bootloader and now i am not able to enter in recovery mode either, everytime i try to get in the recovery modethe phone restarts and goes to fastboot mode.
please help.

I was having a similar issue where adb wouldn't recognize my phone but fastboot was detecting it. What I ended up doing was grabbing the latest stock firmware zip from asus, transferring it to my external sd card via adapter and renamed it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Then go into fastboot (restart with volume up key) and proceed to recovery. It should automatically update your system from there. The only bummer is having to re-configure everything.

Soft/Hard brick when chainfire rooting

Hi there,
Proud owner of a new Pixel XL. Unlocked version. Tried rooting last night (i've rooted all devices i've owned and am not new to this). Followed the instructions to a "t". The device won't get past the white screen and dots leapfrogging each other. Now when going back to fastboot, device isn't recognised by ADB Fastboot etc...
Please help!!!!

My guide should be able to help you get back to the OS and then install root.
Keep in mind you may lose data if you don't remove the -w from the script mentioned in the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/info-how-restored-to-stock-soft-t3494478

Did you unlock bootloader?
Then immediately try rooting?
That is one cause for bouncing dots.
You should: flash factory image, then boot into device before any flashing. Setup device until you are at the home screen and OS settled. Use a pattern or pin security. That is needed to make recovery work properly. You need to decrypt at recovery boot. No ask for pin? Then power off and boot TWRP again.
Follow directions in TWRP and SuperSU threads to a Capital "T"...
Versions:
Latest "Q" firmware
Boot TWRP RC1 img, then flash zip installer
Use SuperSU 2.79 SR1.
You'll have no bootloop. I found first rooted boot to take just a few minutes.
Just in case: update SDK platform tools if you haven't cos that screws people up for days too.

Thanks mate. But i get to step 9 and nothing happens. My device is no longer recognised

thanks mate, but the problem is that now the device is simply not recognised by my computer. I can't flash anything

I should clarify.
SDK is 100% up to date.
I am trying on both Windows 10 and Mac.
Device drivers worked fine prior to trying to root.
I'm really worried that i might have just bricked a $1.4k(aud) device

I unlocked my bootloader and got a bootloop when I tried to fastboot to root. Would not recognize the device either. I redownloaded SU 3 as suggested in the third post and it worked. Good Luck.
I used the fastboot to root method and did not install TWRP.
