A5_CHL Virgin Mobile Fastboot and ADB won't work - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to reset this phone to stock and it just isn't cooperating. I had fastboot working enough to load the stock recovery on there but than I went to try to use the RUU it would just crash after the Terms and Conditions. So I looked up the solution and it was downloading a bunch of C++ Redistributables. It still didn't work and than I noticed it also wanted me to have the HTC Sync Manager installed so I did that. When that didn't help I uninstalled it. Now when I go into fastboot it just says "waiting on any device". It says Fastboot USB on the phone. The Device Manager reads it as "My HTC". I've been at this for hours and any help at this point would be a blessing.

Try to just extract the rom.zip file from the exe and flash that. You run the RUU and while it's running you click search and %temp% to find the files running. It's in one of the long numbered and lettered files. You can copy that and run using fastboot or rename it to OP9CIMG.zip I believe and put it in the root of your ext SD card and it should run automatically when you enter the bootloader.

Oh, ok. You didn't mention that part so I didn't know. You say you had fastboot running initially enough to flash the stock recovery. Does that mean you've had issues with it from the beginning? I'd try to download the slimmer version found here on XDA and see if that's the issue. Other than that and the first suggestions I gave you I don't have much else. I have this same device a5_chl and haven't encountered this issue with mine. Sorry your having to deal with this. It's not fun.

Is your bootloader still unlocked?
I had to flash the recovery, then run 'fastboot oem lock' before I could run the ruu without errors.

Help flashing from Fastboot screen

Hi guys,
I am one of the 'lucky' ones with a broken USB-port. I currently have the MoDaCo custom ROM installed but I want to be able to install a generic ROM and return my phone for repairs.
Thus, I need to flash a generic ROM to my phone, and that's where my (n00b) problems start.
1: Flashing the original file simply by running the .exe file crashes. First, when describing my current FW version it says something about having 'too many images' or something. It tries to flash, but gets stuck while 'waiting for bootloader'. This runs to 100, and then gives me an error-message. Annoying!
2: As 1: doesn't work I want to flash directly from Fastboot. However, I cannot exract the two files needed to flash for some reason... I rename the RUU file from .exe to .zip, but only extract the boot.img file - the large .zip file returns an error, and nothing is extracted. I use winrar to extract, but have also tried 7zip.
3: If/when I succeed in extracting the files - where should the be put, when I execute the fastboot commands? On the SD-card or in the androidsdk/tools folder on the pc?
I really hope you can help me with the above. It's so annoying, so now I just want to return my device
Thanx for you help guys
Welcome in the club, come to here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...sues-with-usb-connectivity-etc-and-root-a2sd/
cause there we collect all infos about that issue
Thanks - but I'm following that constantly.
At the moment I just want to be able to flash the generic ROM, so I can send in my phone for repair. A rooted ROM is not going to be accepted.
Do you know the answer to my questions above?
There is a thread over at modaco on how to unroot your device. I used that to return mine to a generic rom before handing it back. It uses the fastboot option. I had the usb problem too.
Do you mean this thread:
http://android.modaco.com/content-page/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/page/40/
???
I can't see anywhere the talk about Fastboot option...
Just enter fastboot and run one of the stock roms from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677513
unfortunately that's where my installation crashes. I go into Fastboot and just run the .exe files. That stops because it cannot find the bootloader or something.
I need a method that isn't just executing the .exe files, but pushing the boot.img and the .zip files from a terminal fastboot command!
what does fastboot say if you plugin your phone, start in fastboot, download the android sdk to your pc and run fastboot devices from commandline

It can do that no problem - I can run the fastboot commands. I just don't know which to run - that's my problem
just run
fastboot devices
this shows if fastboot sees your phone. It should give you a letter number combi
BTW: if you are on vista or win7 try the exe several times, cause theese two OS'es aren't fast in detecting new devices

I solved it - somehow.
I ran the unroot RUU file - again and again. And tried a few different USB-ports on my pc. I came gradually a little longer each time - and in the end - after maybe 5 attempts, it went all the way.
Yay - so now it's sent for repairs!

[Q] Image Unzipping Fail!!!

Hello, I have like eight hours of continuous searching for solve this problem.
I installed like two months ago the Android Revolutionary HD 6.1.5 ROM, i did S-off, Radio-off, Root, etc, following the tutorials of XDA. But i installed the actualization of ARHD 6.2.0 and it works very nice but one day later when i was talking by the phone it stopped, then sense was not responding, and it finally restarted alone.
The big problem is it was only showing the HTC logo and then the screen puts black.
I get into HBoot and it searches for PD98IMG.zip
i putted the PD98IMG.zip in the card and it says this:
- Sd checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nhb]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98img.zip]
I say yes and it shows:
- Image unzipping fail!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
I tried a lot of RUU`s, like 13 and i can´t find one who works, the only who was acepted was ono withe the recovery only. With USB it does not work either.
I sent it to the company who sold me it and they have no idea about...
I hope you can help me, i am a little dissapointed, because i tried all the RUU`s what i founded in the web.
Thank you very much, Freesoft.

Try to go into recovery mode. What exactly is the problem. If it is not booting in...go to recovery and select fix permissions... this will solve any problems. If not try to install a rom with full wipe and reboot. If you flash a PD98IMG.zip then once again you need to root, S OFF, etc etc....
Stop what you are doing before you brick your phone.
The PD98 error you are getting happens to all rooted DHD's, and is nothing to worry about (delete it from your sd card). RUU's are for stock devices, or for returning to stock.
Check to make sure you haven't screwed up your root access, and flash a ROM .zip file from the developers thread (in recovery, from your sd card). And always check the checksum before flashing.

Well, actualy, i can`t get into Recovery, it reboots and the screen turns black, the only thing what the phone admits is PD98IMG.zip.
Thank you very much for responding!
Delete that file from your SD card, and check if you can get into recovery. If yes, download superWIPE for ARHD, and ARHD rom and install it ( it's different base i think, so you have to superWipe it )
PD98IMG.zip is the radio, if that's what you need they can all be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
Might be worth flashing the latest and seeing if your phone behaves enough afterwards to let you get into recovery.
I take it you are trying from bootloader?
Also does your computer recognize the phone on usb?

Sounds to me your Recovery has an error.
Download and extract Android Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
Boot into Bootloader & select fastboot
Use AndroidFlasher to install a new Recovery image.
Link to my copy of of the previous 4ext Touch recovery, so it should work.
Extract the image to wherever you extracted AndroidFlasher and make sure you select 'already in fastboot' prior to flashing.
Then you should be able to get into Recovery. Full wipe, install ROM, etc.
Hope this solves your problem.

I am trying all this and i think it will work, the problem is my phone is "SHIP S-OFF"
But i don`t know hot to change from Ship to ENG...
Thank you very much for the answer, from now in one week i think my DHD will work again
If memory serves, you only need Eng to change the radio.
But don't quote me on that

I have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253
The PD98IMG.zip worked, so i am glad my desire is not bricked yet.
I still not having access to recovery, my phone is SHIP S-OFF not ENG S-OFF and i can`t change the Recovery, i can`t install the SDK drivers for bootloader.
I tried too with Android Flasher, and there doesn`t work because my phone is not ENG S-OFF.
My questions are this: how i can change now to ENG S-OFF?
What else i can do for revive the Desire HD?
Thank a lot for responding this post, i don`t know what i`ll do without all of you!
Personally I see no reason to Eng soff. You can still flash radios and recoveries with just regular soff. Just its done in a different way.
In that thread you posted their is a link for cwr in a pd98img. Just follow the directions I wrote.(its the first section)
But if you are set on getting Eng soff in the dev section you can use jkoljo tool.
Your second question confuses me. You said your phone is now working so what do you mean by reviving your phone?
Well, i tried ADB, the problem now is when i installed the drivers, in the command prompt i cant find my phone.
I was trying with this:
C:\adb devices
List of devices attached
In Device Manager it appairs like: Android Phone>Android ADB Interface
What i can do now?
I know I'm a little annoying, but I will really appreciate your help if we make it work!
Anyone can help with ADB with desire hd?
Well to be able to use command prompt on your computers first off would be to add the adb path which is normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools or in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
Then you'll be able to use adb commands.
if not while in command prompt, just use the cd command to get in that directory so you can use the adb.exe
per exemple;
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
then you'll be able to use commands has
adb push [the file which should be in the same place] /data/local/tmp
Then if you just want to run command on your cell interface just write
adb shell
if you're in root you should start to write beside a #
it would look
<C:\[path]>adb shell
# [here you'll run command on your cellphone]
because if you run in command prompt right away
<C:\>adb device
without having the file to get the adb.exe
But as for using adb shell, if your device is connected and activated in debugged mode you'll be fine.

I did that, it doesn`t work because it says "error: device not found" i tried reinstalling many times the ADB drivers and another few with the path file, no results. With "adb devices" it says "list of devices attached" then, nothing.
I am really gratefull with all your answers, i hope we can made it work
I have a question more, it`s posible to put it in "debugging mode" from HBOOT?
Thanks a lot!
So, nobody can help me? that who help me will be rewarded!
You said only the recovery pd98 works. Reflash it. After it reboot and hangs take out battery and SD card. Reinsert battery and enter boot. Wait for it to scan, then reinsert sdcard and enter recovery. Wipe and reflash a rom or backup
Edit - still confused, from your pm you suggested that your dhd doesn't work? I need a simple yes it boots or doesn't, before we can go anywhere

[Q] Start anew

Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim
If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.
Do not put it on your sdcard.
Plug your phone into PC
Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.

Thanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble :s

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"
Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...

Pim
Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have

If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?

[Q] ADB won't detect my phone

Hi, I have a rooted Desire 816 currently running unofficial CM12. Before this, it will detect my phone, and thats how I root it and install custom recovery, but now, I tried to go back to stock but I couldn't get adb to work. It kept saying ADB error no device found.
Any help? I've already installed the HTC driver, same. Went to fastboot mode, on the phone it says fastboot USB but nothing happened.
In CM12 did you go into developer settings and enable adb?
yes i did. and it even showed up in the status bar. but still the same.

Then you don't have the proper drivers. You know adb and fastboot are different right? The rooting process doesn't involve adb, only fastboot. They're separate things and require separate programs to work.
Yes. But fastboot not working either. It's stuck at <waiting for device> and I can't lock the bootloader or flash the firmware.

Try to redownload fastboot, and uninstall then reinstall the HTC drivers. If that doesn't work your screwed.
Try this, its a program that tethers internet from your phone to your pc. It has all the drivers you can possibly need. I use it when I cant find the drivers to my phone online. Friends use this when adb devices dosnt show up with anything. Its worked for me 100% of the time. http://pdanet.co/ (just download the windows exe file and follow the directions. I believe you have to keep your phone plugged in during installation but I cant remember)

How about this. Put a nandroid of stock on your device. Plug it in the PC and create a folder called "clockworkmod" then inside there create one called "backup" now usually you have to move your nandroid to the root of your phone but if you use Philz Recovery, you can change the directory it searches for backups so it will be on your regular internal memory.
Drew recommended a flashing program for recoveries before. It was called Rashr.
Use that to flash Philz recovery.
Then just flash the nandroid and boot up.
Now remove root, flash a stock recovery, then relock your bootloader. Factory restore afterwards and your done.
Also, make sure if you factory restore that your nandroid backup never used titanium backup to remove any system apps as it might make your device act out with force closes. If you have done that either find a full stock with just root backup or use an RUU.
Done.

Trouble installing RUU?

I'm trying to install the latest RUU for my developer edition. The RUU loads till the point where I accept the agreement and then nothing. I'm on Windows 8.1. Here is where I got the RUU from http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
Any idea why is this happening or how to fix it? I'm having all sort of problems with the phone at the moment. I'm giving a RUU a try to see if it fixes it.
Thanks in advance!
Same thing happens to me, no idea why. Works fine in Windows 7. some people say it's to do with needing a C++ Update but that didn't work for me either
What you can do, though, is once at the T&Cs screen, open a run box and type in %temp% and it'll take you to the Temporary Files folder on your PC and if you look at the newest folders there should be 2. One will contain a compressed file called 'rom'. Copy this to your Desktop, then to a microSD card and flash that via HBOOT or flash it via RUU mode using htc_fastboot.exe (which you can find here)

Same thing happens to me, no idea why. Works fine in Windows 7. some people say it's to do with needing a C++ Update but that didn't work for me either

Could you refer to this C++ update if you happen to remember which one?
How do I flash the rom file through HBOOT or the RUU mode using htc_fastboot.exe (87.7 KB)?
To flash the ZIP in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip
And unfortunately no, I don't know which update it was as didn't work

I've never done this through RUU mode before, so I'll double check with you.
I'll open normal fastboot. Copy the rom.zip to the root of theSD Card or to the same folder where fastboot is? Also where to place HTC_fastboot.exe, same as fastboot or in the root of SD Card? Then I'll enter the command fastboot oem rebootRUU then htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip? I'm sorry for the basic questions, thanks a lot!
If you're flashing it manually you don't copy it to your phone, just put it in your fastboot folder along with the htc_fastboot file and then do it all with the phone in fastboot mode
This is the same like applying the RUU exe? This will wipe everything and install everything from zero, right? On HBOOT I have a modified software status , is this going to be fixed as well?
Yep, completely resets the phone to factory defaults

@EddyOS
Sorry for asking more questions, but last time I applied a RUU was with my M7 when I first bought it. If I'm going to apply the RUU exe, does i have to be on fastboot or while the phone is on? Flashing the rom.zip, do I have to flash or format anything through fastboot or should reboot fastboot or simply reboot the phone? Applying RUU, does it reinstall HBOOT? Sorry and thanks again!
My previous post answers your last bit - it puts EVERYTHING back to factory and the latest versions
RUU.exe you can run when in Android or in fastboot mode, RUU.zip HAS to be flashed in RUU mode.
I've said everything you need to know so if you still don't get it, don't bother trying it

I'm just making sure. I don't have another phone at the moment and limited 3G internet connection, so I don't want to get stuck with the phone not working or downloading things twice. Sorry for repeating the same questions though
