Desire Z/G2: Boot into Fastboot with adb/debug deactivated | Dead Screen | Clockwork

Hello devs,
my HTC Desire Z broke over night.
The phone still works, boots and runs as expected, but the Screen is dead, although the Touchscreen is still working (PatternUnlock working and so on).
I want to send it in for warranty repair, but I still have flashed Clockwork Recovery with S-OFFand Cyanogen 9 RC1 and root.
That's the reason why I want to flash the original image PC10IMG via fastboot.
How can I access the bootloader and boot into fastboot?
I tried:
Volume Down and waiting long enough (~45s) and then pressed Power to access Fastboot, but it doesn't work.
(I think the clockwork menu is presented instead of the android bootloader menu, which I don't know by minds).
Debug mode is off on the phone, so "adb reboot fastboot" does not work
Can someone with a Desire Z and Clockwork Recovery flashed give an step-by-step instruction how to boot into fastboot if your screen is dead?
Thank you in advance.

That's what I tried already, but sadly it doesn't work due to Clockwork Recovery I think.
My device reboots when I press power after one minute, which makes sense if this screenshot represents my menu.

In the ClockworkMod in this screenshot is fastboot not listed and I couldn't find a screenshot of the advanced menu nor the complete menu structure where fastboot was listed.
I'm using the most recent version of Clockwork Rom Manager and Recovery Image
Should be 5.0.2.7 I think.

You don't need to use recovery at all with my guide.
You can go straight to fastboot mode, from powered down, by holding the Trackpad while powering on, then you can use your computer to talk to it and send a rom to flash.

Thank you very much I didn't knew the Trackpad shortcut and didn't find / oversee it in your guide.
That was the one I needed.
You made my day!
:fingers-crossed:

Yeah I don't think I mentioned it in my guide, as the guide is also written for Ace/Glacier, which don't have trackpads.
I'm glad you managed to get it sorted

[Q] Having difficulties getting custom recovery to work

Hey guys!
My friend asked me to root is HTC Wildfire S, it has S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader (yay!). then I flashed (supposedly successfully) a custom recovery, but when I select RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen the device is stuck at the HTC logo and does nothing. I tried putting the zip with the weird name that HBOOT recognizes and it installs with no error. I also tried to flash it with fastboot which also writes the recovery partition with no error, but it still won't load the recovery. (Although when I try to "fastboot erase recovery" it fails saying: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". I also tried both CWM and TWRP and neither of them worked. Anyone could help me get the custom recovery working? I also attached a image of the HBOOT screen if that helps. USB debugging is turned on, and fastboot is disabled in settings.

ps.: I also tried to use the htc super tool to root the phone but it didn't work either

As I can tell of "Feb 8 2012" your WFS is 2012 edition
You need another recovery modded for the WFS
1.Download this
2.Extract it
3.Install it using CMD

thanks, it worked

Stock Bootloader loop, can't go into recovery mode, tried everything

I wanted to downgrade to 5.0 to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery and ROM. Used the official FW from the Asus page, installed it from within the OS (android MM stock). It all went as expected until at the end of the install it rebooted and got into the bootloader screen instead of booting normally. It won't go into recovery.
Phone will NOT turn on with power button + volume down button, not ever.
Power button + volume up does nothing, it turns the phone on just like the power button alone would do.
Once in the stock bootloader if I select [recovery mode] it will simply reset and go back to where I was. I never get the dead android error, it just go back to the bootloader select menu
I get this screen

What can I do? all the tutorials I seen either asume I can get into recovery or use power button + volume down button which in my case doesn't works

Find images of system, ifwi, recovery etc. and fastboot flash them. you can try first with recovery only. the adb command will be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.
img" just search the forum plenty of guides here

I looked at the guides, most require recovery on the phone to work (it doesnt here, just reboots back into the bootloader) and for some reason adb can't find this phone, tried on 2 different computers

BTW I tried with another android phone and adb worked just fine
How is it possible no computer can even tell this phone is connected at all?

Bricked Z2 pro

Hello,
I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.
I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.
I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.
Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this

How can i do to load TWRP again on the phone ?
Edit: I have shut down the phone and hold the power button, windows seems to recognize it as a cd drive. QFIL still doesn't change his status from "no port available"
Thanks

Unable to root Honor 7x (BND-AL10)

As getting raspberryPI is impossible now a days, i wanted to use my old device(Honor 7x) like one by installing PostmarketOS on it.
Got successful in Unlocking the bootloader. But not able to root it. Will walk though all the steps and tries i did so far.
If i have posted this question in the wrong place or without out proper tag, please let me know, i will change it asap.
Device : Honor 7x (BND-AL10)
Android Version : 9
EMUI Version : 9.1.0
Build number : 9.1.0.168(C675E7R1P1)
Bootloader unlocking process (Success):​The Huawei's site, where it asks for device id, imei number etc is no more alive, so i looked out and tried various other methods. Finally landed on PotatoNV.
I removed my back cover, found my devices test point, shorted them, ran potatoNV and it worked, I got the message as `bootloader unlocked` on the bootloader screen.
Rooting process (Failure):​Downloaded various twrp recovery image that i found from the twrp site and also from the forums various threads from xda and tried to flash using fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to get the device into bootloader mode
it failed when i tried to flash the twrp recovery image using
fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
later found my device is "A only" recovery partition type and also for my device the partition was different, so the following command was successful in writing the recovery image to the mentioned partition
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the writing was successful, i issued
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
soon after hitting enter on the above command, i removed the cable and tried to enter fastboot mode by press and hold on Volume Up + Power button.
And got this "ERROR MODE 11 recovery image 2 load failed".

Spent 3 weeks in trying out most solutions from this form and from blog posts, im unable to install twrp recovery image to root it. After multiple attempts of flashing twrp recovery image.
Update:
1. Tried to convert using "Magisk app". and later tried to flash this recovery image into the device. still the same "ERROR MODE 11 recovery image 2 load failed".
Then, tried to directly boot through the recovery image without flashing into the device with
fastboot boot twrp_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FAILED (remote: 'invalid command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
2. Tried using "Huawei Multi tool" with the same twrp recovery images, unable to install twrp and root my device.
Need Help Please!!!
