[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!

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:

Then thankfully my phone booted ok back to how it was originally.

You can't flash the 1.36 hboot,
coz your hboot is to low, with version 0.43.
The easiest way would be, to flash the 2.17 ruu,
and after that, you could Update your hboot.

thanks for the reply. so where can i find the 2.17 ruu
Also can you explain a bit on the steps that I need to complete with the 2.17 ruu

fastboot get version-main
Will tell you which ROM you had originally, so the 401 needs to match.

I can't get that command to work with my fastboot.

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number

The same also happens if i type.

When I check on htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
I can find:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe
This has matching 206 version.
But this doesn't have 2.17 as mentioned previously.
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_sined.exe
Any ideas on which one to choose?

The one that matches. Hopefully you'll get OTA updates to 2.17.206.x

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.120 4.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe
I do notice in the title that it says 02_UK im not on 02 im on three.co.uk would this be an issue? if so its the only RUU that has 206 in the title. Also Is this the only way to update hboot versioin?
Thanks to all who are contributing and for your continued support in this matter. I had a shock when I almost originally bricked my one x.

Well where did you get the phone from?
That's the right RUU.
You can update the firmware by locking it, flashing the updated firmware and unlocking it. Either way your phone is gonna get wiped.

I bought the phone from ebay.co.uk from the UK
I am a little confused by this picture it says 1.29.401.11
Should i go ahead with the upgrade?
When i origianly did the below command i got a different version.
fastboot-windows.exe getvar version-main
version-main: 1.26.206.2
There is a discrepancy between 401 and 206 or does this not matter? or can i now use this ruu??
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
And to confirm the next step, after this update i will need to relock the boot loader and then perform the update and then unlock it.
fastboot-windows.exe oem lock
fastboot-windows.exe oem rebootRUU
fastboot-windows.exe flash zip firmware.zip
then perform the unlock from the htcdev site.

Hey guys, dont know really where else to post this, but i need help upgrading my hboot.
Im currently on hboot 1.12 S-ON, cid VODAPO21
i tried flashing 1.36 firmware and it didnt work, gave an error remote:not allowed
i assume i need to go up in increments.
Trouble is , not sure which ones i should flash first and also where to find it. Ive downloaded RUU for my cid versions 1.26 and 1.29...not sure if you can extract the firmware from them, or how its done. Tried opening it in winrar/7-zip and could open em.

Still not there yet.
Still no luck I am afraid. I have tried both of the below RUU's and receive the error in the attached screenshot.
The RUU's that I have tried both give the same error. They are:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed
Thanks so much to the person who can help get me upgraded to Jelly Bean.

Anyone ?? Im still wanting to update to jellybean and can't yet. Can someone please help me out this this.

You did getvar version main and it said you have a '206 ROM, if a new enough RUU can't be found, you'll have to flash a backup. If you don't have one, check the backups thread for somebody else's. It has to be '206.

[Q] Can't flash any custom recovery on my m8

My m8 has an unlocked bootloader with s-on and i recently just used a nandroid backup which flashed the stock recovery and i updated to newest 5.0 update my phone was with t-mobile but it is factory unlocked now. Whenever I try to flash philz or twrp through fastboot it gives me:

Are you trying to do it in fastboot oem rebootRUU or just normal fastboot? You should be in the bootloader and just use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I tried both

TWRP - Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)

I rooted my Moto Z Play but I think I screwed up since I can´t no longer flash anything.
The TWRP is working fine (i guess) but when I try to install a ROM I get the following message:
"Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)"
I tried everything but can´t get it working properly.
Prior to this error I think I tried a diferent version of PAC-MAN and ended up with this situation.
Any sugestions?
Thanx in advance!

As far as I know no one has built PAC ROM for moto z play. My guess is TWRP just saved you from bricking your phone. Better make sure you're trying to flash a ROM build for MZP.

When I try to boot to recovery it gives me a "no command" screen with a "no command" message and just it.
Flashed the recovey.img from twrp and it is working ok.

You flashed all the sparsechunks from 0 to 10?
The stock recovery has a dead Andy robot, so that flashed.
Did you flash the boot.img?

Yep, exactly the way you told me to do.
ADDISON_RETBR_6.0.1_MPNS24.104-44-7 has a corrupted file, but it didn´t work with the ADDISON_RETBR_MPNS24.104-44-10_cid50_ too.
Will try another one. And thanx again.

Obviously the pacman rom screwed up your partition, normally every rom will check if you're flashing a rom to a specific device.
I don't think flashing any other firmware will help cause it's all the same from one carrier to another.
I think you may need to flash the entire firmware package but it MUST BE YOUR SPECIFIC FIRMWARE PACKAGE otherwise you'll really be bricked.
I'm pulling at straws

Yes and it seems like you can't right to the system and or data partitions. There's more partitions but they're locked or hidden
Try to format your data in TWRP
and wipe system

Question Red Magic 8 Pro stuck fastboot

Red Magic 8 Pro stuck fastboot
It no longer has sideload mode in recovery

Did you somehow change your slot? If you haven't upgraded the firmware, then the 2nd slot is empty, and it will not boot anything.

I unlocked the bootloader, I flashed all the files in the payload but still can't boot, hang fastboot or boot to the logo and then shut down
I need someone to back up all my partitions, that's the only way I can do it

Did you flash boot.img or init_boot.img?
It sounds like you are booting the wrong slot.

I flashed those 2 files and changed both slots but failed to start the phone

I faced with the problem by locking the bootloader with init_boot.img for magisk. Then I unlocked it again and switched aactive slot to b and then to a in "Fastboot Enhance" tool. After that my phone entered to the system.
[TOOL][Windows] Fastboot Enhance [Payload Dumper & Image Flasher]
Fastboot Enhance What it can do? - Show fastboot vars - Switch between fastbootd & bootloader - Switch between A & B slot - Flash Payload.bin in fastbootd - Flash images - Erase partitions - Delete logical partitions - Create logical partitions...

@Mr.PvT did you ever make any progress with this? I am in the same boat now. Flashed a GSI and tested it out. DIdnt like it so flashed the 3.18 Payload.bin thru Fastboot enhance and am stuck on Bootloader. Cant access anything else as no matter what I choose it boots to bootloader.

I also went from a GSI to stock ROM and this worked, some steps may be unnecessary:
In bootloader change active slot to a
Flash all of payload.bin images
Reboot to fastboot and flash all of payload images
Reboot to recovery
Hold volume down for a few seconds to enable sideload
Connect the phone to a pc and ADB sideload NX729J-update.zip
Then wipe data and reboot
Also did your calls and messages work when using the GSI?

In Fastbootd:
Everything that failed in bootloader, flashed beside system. Could only flash _b slots. Nothing seems to exist for slot a. I did not fastboot format or erase anything to my knowledge unless Fastboot Enhance did so when I flashed the playload.bin thru it without having logs on to watch what it did. If it formated or erased any partitions can they be recreated?
And last when in Recovery:
F:\Files\Downloads\RM8P>adb sideload NX729J-update.zip

What is the error when flashing system?
If it has something to do with not being able to resize the system partition, check this link:

I just retried in bootloader with a new outcome this time:
F:\Files\Downloads\RM8P\NX729J-update>fastboot flash system system.img
Invalid sparse file format at header magic

fastboot: error: Command failed
I copied the fastboot.exe from fastboot enchanced to the directory of the extracted payload.bin. Was able to recreate partitions. Am attempting to recover from potential brick.
I tried LineageOS TD-based. Didnt attempt calls or messages. Was just checking out the feel of the rom and its capabilities.

Can someone run this fastboot command in bootloader and fastbootd and save the results in a text file?
fastboot getvar all
Omit the serial number in bootloader and fastbootd's printout.

So looking thru this, the only difference I have is:
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x718BCD3000 Mine
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x35F5CD3000 Yours
as well as:
(bootloader) slot-successful:a:yes Yours
(bootloader) slot-successful:a:no Mine
but thats because it hasnt successfully booted since last flash.
I also need the fastbootd's printout. The one provided was from bootloader. The one from fastbootd will give logical partitions and has slot info.

Did you install carrier serivces from google play, setup APN settings for your carrier and Installing new IMS package: Treble Settings -> IMS features -> install IMS for Qualcomm -> install package. I cant remember if that was in there. Still trying to get booted again

Yeap I did all that but calls and texts only half worked. I could do calls but no audio and I could send texts but couldn't receive. Was the main reason why I switched back to stock
