Help Please :S
Is 'fastboot devices' detecting the phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
my phone detects the fastboot usb
and in the command line doesn't stand [waiting for device] like when the phone is not connected
edit:
ah i guess you mind the fastboot devices command
yeah there is one device HT072...6 fastboot
Now I also got another error here the Details:
D:\Nero\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-cloc
kwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.img
sending 'recovery' (3398 KB)...

edit:
okay got it and flashed recovery v3.0.0.5 (i know not uptodate there is already 5.0.0.2 or sth =P)
looked up for the other error here and found a solution had to take another usb-port
but i still got the problem that i can not "install zip from sdcard" when i select it, i get a black screen with the icon of clockworkmod :S
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
you might have a PVT4 device which doesn't work with cwm
i already flashed my desire about 4times with clockworkmod
btw just checked its pvt1
but ill try alphaRev just give me a sec
after flashing it with that recovery it works
still don't know why clockworkmod won't this time cause as mentioned i used it for some ROMs before and was quiet simple

firstly, make sure you're phone is actually seen by the PC tpye in cmd (if you;ve got fastboot setup)
Code:
fastboot devices
should come up with you're phones serial number. If nothing comes up then a) if havent got fastboot/ SDK setup, or b) you're S-ON.
Secondly make sure you're S-OFF... if you're not you can't flash things..
thirdly, if you're S-OFF and your phone IS seen, make sure you're in FASTBOOT and not in BOOTLOADER.
to boot into fastboot you poweroff then hold BACK and POWER. or you boot it from the bootloader..
my advice to you, nothing else I can think of. At least when I'm not sober anyways

First of all, thanks for your answare.
My S is ON, how to make him go OFF??
When i type in fastboot devices i see my device HT97....
so, my ges is that it recognise my device...
You can download the original RUU from xda rename update put on SD. power off fastboot should run it back to stock I would then use alpharev's site to S-OFF easiest & safest. I'd run it through Virtual Machine as it saves wasting discs just remember to keep turning USB device on as it will unmount a couple of times during the procedure!

Sory, i dont get it...downloaded apherev.iso but dont know how to use it?
You better use Revolitionary(.io)
Its more convenient an easier.
Just download ,then on windows you have to install fastboot drivers, the site will give you a betakey (for that you have to type in some phone information), extract the folder ,start revolutionary as admin ,then make sure usbdebugging is enabled an connect to charge only , type in beta key an hit enter.

Magic ≠ Desire
Hello,
I have an HTC desire, root, s-off, oxygen rom installed.
When I switch on my phone stays in startup screen and does nothing.
Also I have problem accessing to recovery mode through fastboot.
When i choose recovery, the phone restarts and stays again to the startup screen.
-I have tried to access through the ADB (SDK manager) but in cmd cannot find my phone (adb devices)
-But if i write in cmd:
C:\>fastboot devices
everthing is ok it shows the serial number of my phone.
Then i wrote:
C:\>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.img
sending 'recovery' (3054 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.446s]
writting 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.912s]
finished. total time: 1.360s
After that i tried to access to recovery through the HBOOT and my phone restarted once again to the startup screen and did nothing.
Everytime i go to the recovery does the samething.
Does anyone knows what to do?
Thank you

try another recovery like RA Recover you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
I also got some problems with clockworkmod before, so i switched to RA and it works fine for me.
Due to the lack of time, I cannot update this thread as frequently as I want to, so from now on, please refer to the HTC One X - XDA Developers Wiki
This guide is based on information found in leejames55 HBOOT loop thread and torxx tutorial, I just wanted to make thing clear, simple and consolidate all information in one place for non-dev users. So thanks to them and everyone who contributed.
After seeing alot of people having problem after flashing a rom, restoring RUU, re-locking bootloader, I've decided to make this guide in order to help everyone. If you follow this guide there's a good chance that you will manage to recover your phone
This is for people who have the following problem:
Cannot boot into ROM (e.g Stuck at the HTC Logo)
Boot Loop
Re-locked bootloader while having a non-working ROM
Cannot flash RUU because battery is below 30% - IMPORTANT: You must flash the new version of ClockWorkMod in order to be able to recharge the phone while off and from recovery
The most common problem is being stuck at the HTC Logo after flashing a ROM, try clearing the fastboot cache with these steps:
Power off your phone and hold the power button + volume down
Choose fastboot from bootloader
Connect the phone to your computer
On computer type:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Choose "Reboot" in fastboot menu
If this doesn't work, try the rest of the guide
If you cannot flash RUU, go into recovery etc. because battery is below 30%
IMPORTANT: You must flash the new version of ClockWorkMod in order to be able to recharge the phone while off and from recovery. So, flash the new recovery and this problem will NOT happen.
ckpv5 said:
I don't think he can do that as more and more people have this problem as stated on OP:
Cannot flash RUU because battery is below 30%
But there is no explanation on how to to solve the problem. All the suggestions are good only when you have at least 20% battery.
So here I want to share on how I solve my problem to get the battery up to at least 20% so that you can fastboot flash anything, but to run RUU you need to have more than 30%. This works for me and hopefully it will work for others too.
Instead of plug in and plug out the usb cable to and from your phone when connected to PC (which actually not working for me), what I did was :
1) connect the phone to PC, your phone will boot into bootloader with red light flashing on and off or all the way red or no light at all.
2) use the vol button to scroll to power down and press power to off.
3) if the phone boot again to bootloader, repeat (2)
4) if the phone not booting, press the power button to on the phone, it will boot to bootloader again. Try the fastboot flash ** (whatever you want to do, either flash unlock.bin to unlock bootloader to flash CWM recovery or relock bootloader and flash stock recovery). If it fails due to low battery, repeat again (2) then (3) and (4). I did this less than ten times to have fastboot flash working.
What I notice is whenever we press power on, it will go to splash screen but unable to pass the bootanimation due to lack of battery, it will go back to bootloader. In the process, the battery get charging but stop when we are in bootloader. So restart again & again (power down in bootloader & power on again) will charge the battery until you have enough juice for fastboot flash.
Note: item (4), I did the fastboot flash ** before power on, it will say "waiting for device", once the phone is on and in fastboot mode, the command will runs. So once the battery reach about 20%, it will runs succesfully.

2.- FORMAT SYSTEM
3.- RESTART NORMALLY
4.- YOUR PHONE WILL STOPS IN "HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT" SCREEN
5.- PUT YOUR PHONE TO CHARGE (no light notification appears)
6.- LET IT CHARGE FOR A COUPLE HOURS (i put mine to charge for a complete night)
7.- Now restore your RUU, Flash, etc...
IF YOU HAVE SIGNED RECOVERY:

If you re-locked the bootloader
Unlock with the same Unlock_code.bin file provided by HTC and follow this link: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/
If you have stock recovery
Download a Custom Recovery (e.g http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819)
Then flash it with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
If you have Custom ROM on or nandroid backup internal SD card
Reboot in recovery (If your still in fastboot, choose "Reboot Bootloader" and then go into recovery)
Restore a Nandroid Backup or flash Custom ROM
Reboot and go into fastboot
Clean cache in fastboot
If you DON'T have custom rom or Nandroid backup on internal SD card
torxx said:
So here a method which always works (many people have issues with flashing RUU's etc. having a bootlop.)
Download a RUU from here, thanks to Football!
Now open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img and system.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One X, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
After that:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
If everything worked, just reboot:
Code:
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to restore to original HTC ROM or have new HBOOT/Radio, you will have to do the step above and then the following:
Flash a ROM and boot image based on 1.26 (e.g ARHD 2.1)
Clear fastboot cache
Code:
fastboot clear cache
Boot your phone
Charge you phone completely
Download stock recovery
Flash stock recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img
Relock bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Run 1.26 RUU

If not, what u need to do is flash stock recovery and lock ur device. Then place it on the charger while its off (Fastboot > Power Off). Let it charge (higher than 30%) and download and run RUU for your device.
S-OFF, really?
BTW, your device is not bricked, if you can enter the bootloader..

and all flashed first time. with stock recovery and relocked bootloader.
I hope this will HELP you with your 1X..

i will search the right RUU
i used RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_r and this will not work
The only difference is that i've CWM installed.. do you think this is the prob ?

Yes, make sure u put ur device as stock, stock recovery, and locked bootloader.
Also you have flashed the boot_signed.img and the system.img?
I load a new RUU i hope this will work with it
Edit: How do i become a stock recovery ?
I have an international One x, I don't know what I did wrong but my phone never gets past the ROM's logo screen. I've tried flashing about 6 different ROMs that all worked before but the boot.img file never flashes. When I type the command in fastboot, it says it flashed successfully on the pc but the phone just shuts down. When I open it again, it doesn't boot. I also tried restoring to a stock nandroid backup (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140 ) and. I tried restoring to a backup I'd made a month ago but neither worked.
I tried looking for a RUU to run but none worked or are compatible because I can't find one higher than 3.16 and I have S-ON so can't flash anything below that. I looked on the internet in general and here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor
Info about the phone:
It's S-ON with an unlocked bootloader
hboot 1.39.0000

Wow what a poem first thing as you may know, flashing the boot.img is a really important step to do if you want your rom to work... I see that you can't do it but i have just a question, does your phone shuts down immediately after you type the command or at the end of the flashing process?

Hi Hadya!
I guess you should start from scratch. U will lost all data on your device but after all it is working again.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1. Make sure your device is fully charged for this. Otherwise it will be a big stress to get it back to work.
2. Copy all data from the SDCard away because you will loose EVERYTHING!!!
3. You need your unlock_token.bin to unlock your device again. If you don't have it available please request this from the HTC web site.
Now, let's recover your device...
1. Download this file and extract it.
http://ul.to/j4j1cpft
2. Enter fastboot
Press POWER & VOLUME DOWN KEY and enter the bootloader
3. Connect your device to PC for the 1st Recover
Test if your device is available via fastboot and use this command:
fastboot devices
You should see your device with Serial number
Now lock your device back with command:
fastboot oem lock
You will see a short message and your bootloader is locked. You should see the message on top of the bootloader with RELOCKED.
That's fine.
Now start the ARUWIZARD from the downloade ZIP file and flash your device as you know it.
There is a ROM file inside which is same as your current hboot. This flash procedure will allign your partitions on the device and it might be that you will loose all SDCard files. I'm pretty sure that you will loose it.
The ROM contains only hboot, recovery and boot Images but it will "RECOVER" your device.
4. Unlock your device
After this procedure you are ready to unlock your device again. Enter fastboot and flash your unlock token again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_token.bin
After the device is unlocked flash boot and recovery image of your choice within this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase Cache
After this you have a half running device.
5. Second Recover Step
Now you need to do a final repair for the device. For this you need to download Android Revolution HD 31.x ROM.
1. Put this ROM on your SDCard
2. Enter recovery and flash this ROM
3. Flash the boot.img to your device
4. Start your device and ignore the 1st Setup steps.
5. Now go to:
SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Reset phone (touch this)
6. On the next page scroll down to the bottom and select:
"Erase Music, Picture... on the storage"
7. Press "OK" and wait
When the phone is back again device is fully recovered. The SDCard is reformated and all partitons are back again.
Now you can do everything you want with your device again.
Best regards!

Hi Hadya!
I guess you should start from scratch. U will lost all data on your device but after all it is working again.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1. Make sure your device is fully charged for this. Otherwise it will be a big stress to get it back to work.
2. Copy all data from the SDCard away because you will loose EVERYTHING!!!
3. You need your unlock_token.bin to unlock your device again. If you don't have it available please request this from the HTC web site.
Now, let's recover your device...
1. Download this file and extract it.
http://ul.to/j4j1cpft
2. Enter fastboot
Press POWER & VOLUME DOWN KEY and enter the bootloader
3. Connect your device to PC for the 1st Recover
Test if your device is available via fastboot and use this command:
fastboot devices
You should see your device with Serial number
Now lock your device back with command:
fastboot oem lock
You will see a short message and your bootloader is locked. You should see the message on top of the bootloader with RELOCKED.
That's fine.
Now start the ARUWIZARD from the downloade ZIP file and flash your device as you know it.
There is a ROM file inside which is same as your current hboot. This flash procedure will allign your partitions on the device and it might be that you will loose all SDCard files. I'm pretty sure that you will loose it.
The ROM contains only hboot, recovery and boot Images but it will "RECOVER" your device.
4. Unlock your device
After this procedure you are ready to unlock your device again. Enter fastboot and flash your unlock token again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_token.bin
After the device is unlocked flash boot and recovery image of your choice within this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase Cache
After this you have a half running device.
5. Second Recover Step
Now you need to do a final repair for the device. For this you need to download Android Revolution HD 31.x ROM.
1. Put this ROM on your SDCard
2. Enter recovery and flash this ROM
3. Flash the boot.img to your device
4. Start your device and ignore the 1st Setup steps.
5. Now go to:
SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Reset phone (touch this)
6. On the next page scroll down to the bottom and select:
"Erase Music, Picture... on the storage"
7. Press "OK" and wait
When the phone is back again device is fully recovered. The SDCard is reformated and all partitons are back again.
Now you can do everything you want with your device again.
Best regards!

I'm facing a tiny problem with running the ARUWizard. It says my phone's battery is below 30% and won't flash every time although I fully charged it till the light turned green.
Hmmm... this seems to be a tricky thing.
Try this:
1. Copy the rom.zip into the same Folder where your fastboot.exe is located
2. Enter bootloader and go to fastboot.
3. Flash the file with this command:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. Enter the original recovery
5. When you see the red triangle than do a short press on the power button and vol up and you will see the menue as same as you know it from the CWM Recovery
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe data/factory
8. unlock the bootloader
9. Flash the rom.img from AHD Image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. Flash CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. enter Recovery and Mount USB
12. Copy the AHD ROM to your device & flash it
13. Boot the ROM, wait up to 10 minutes bevore you use it & ignore the setup
14. Within the Phone enter Settings and do a FACTORY RESET

I was S-Off and rooted with Roadrunner. I went ahead and accepted 4.4 OTA fully expecting to lose S-Off and Root.
What I got was a phone that can't recognize the SD card, and won't boot past the white HTC screen (does it twice then shuts down to red triangle and exclamation point. I've tried to get to the main white admin. screen (vol. up and power) but no luck. I have go to a blue screen offering:

apply from SD card - phone can't find it
apply from phone storage - can find no files
apoply from cache - can't find any files
wipe data factory reset - did that and still nothing
wipe cache partition - didn't know what this would end up doing so I haven't tried it.
At the bottom of the screen in green it states :
Mount SDCARD Failed 1 time through 5 times.
Cannon mount SD Card (no such file or directory)
Write host_mode: 0 Done
I only wanted to get to 4.4, S-Off, unlocked, and rooted to get rid of bloatware. I've rooted before but i'm pretty much a noob (I've been reading here for 2+ years) but am lost understanding programmer language.
Can anyone help me? I'm lost as this is my only phone (I don't have a land line)

Did you try and update while having a custom recovery and/or Rom installed? Also bootloader is power+volume down. The ota won't effect s off or locked status. Just get to fastboot and boot to RUU mode and run stock RUU. Then take updates to 4.4.2
Just a little more info Gizmoe please

I wrote of my problem in middle of night and blanked on getting to bootloader. I am there now. Fastboot takes me to Fastboot USB. RUU mode isn't an option under fastboot just bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down. My PC is not recognizing the phone. I was running stock ROM. I don't recall doing anything special as far as recovery since that would be beyond my learning curve.

And see your device listed?
PS: to above
Also just noticed my phone is now saying UNLOCKED which it wasn't before. Just S-Off through roadrunner (and still S-Off). . My contract was up on Friday and called Verizon to get unlock info but they said they didn't supply that info. I needed to go to a third party (figures).

Use cmd prompt. Did you setup adb/fastboot when you used rumrunners? In command prompt with phone plugged in while on boot loader screen type fastboot devices. If you see a serial number returned you are connected. Typing fastboot oem rebootRUU will put the phone into RUU mode where you can flash the decrypted RUU.

Just leave it zipped. Rename to RUU. Then put it in same directory you are in while using cmd prompt. Then type fastboot oem rebootRUU. Once phone is on black screen with silver letters type fastboot flash zip RUU.zip it will do some stuff and then fail saying to flush the image. Just repeat the fastboot flash zip RUU.zip again and it will succeed. You then will be complete stock. Then you should have no problems updating to kitkat either.

My phone has HTC in white small letters and a solid green bar below it.
Before I screw anything from this point, what do I do now? Just press the power button?
I want to flash TWRP but just discovered that i cannot enter download mode.
I can enter bootloader mode (white screen), recovery mode. But as long as i try to enter download mode i see small HTC logo then after a while phone reboots again and go normal android boot.
I've tried to enter download mode from bootloadr, from recovery, from adb "adb rebood download"
Result is always the same.
FW 1.80.709.
What i'm doing wrong??
fastboot oem rebootRUU also doesn't boot into download mode. Same small HTC logo and then reboot automatically into normal android boot.
Can anyone help?
from bootloader mode i cannot even flash firmware.zip to correct possible errors. Such a stupid developers are in HTC - don't leave any chance to fix the problem!
very angry at HTC!
I had many Samsung devices, and ASUS Zenfone - and never had such stupid softbrick...
Everything is done from download mode. Seems like your out of luck. Maybe put a description what you have done to your phone prior this happening.
Nothing special i did.
Bought this phone couple months ago. Had no time to configure it, so it just laid on table. I only unlocked the bootloader through htcdev site and was updating it when new fw out. And yesterday i've decided to start to use it. The first thing i wanted to do is flash TWRP. And discovered that i can't enter to download mode.
Probably the last OTA wasn't sucessful because phone didn't restart when finished updating.
That could be the cause....
Tryed a factory reset?

Probably the part where download mode code is, didn't update to v1.80 and thus don't agree with bootloader.
Although, HTC has long history in PDA/Phone manufacturing, they still don't know how to write the proper code. They don't understand how to write protected bootloader with high resistance to bricks. Why they don't allow to flash protected partitions with OFFICIAL SIGNED images?? Stupidity!
They should learn from Samsung and even ASUS how to write correct bootloaders.
"You asked for it, we delivered" in boot unlock page looks like loud laughing to their customers

DId you ever get your phone working? I can't enter download mode either, which means I can't flash any recovery. I can boot to the bootloader and fastboot recognizes a devices but adb doesn't from the bootloader screen and i get stuck in a bootloop if i try to select the boot to recovery or download mode options. So i also can't boot into recovery.
I pretty desperate at this point. I don't know what to do. The bootloader says
software status: official
unlocked
s-off
bootloader screen also says:
DDR TEST (LOOPING)
and I'm not sure what that means.
I tried to use an RUU and it always gave me the error saying my battery was below 30% so it can't continue. I also can't get into RUU mode using the fastboot command. It starts the bootloop again.
Extract hosd.img from your current firmware.zip and flash in bootloader.
Fastboot flash hosd hosd.img
Had the same issue with my M9 before.
I've repaired in HTC service center. And since i had to request new key to unlock the bootloader (old key didn't work) - they've replaced motherboard!
hi there,
did you manage to fix the problem? im having the exact same issue...please advise if do so...thanks

In a similar boat here - 1-week-old HTC 10 bricked
I flashed the Nougat OTA zip successfully, then realized that TWRP doesn't yet work with Nougat. I tried flashing back to M with fastboot flash zip m_ruu.zip, but fastboot refuses to downgrade.
So I went into download mode, and flashed a backup of M's boot partition with fastboot flash boot m_boot.img, thinking that this will allow me to downgrade the other partitions back to M. Ooops.
Now I can only get to the white background bootloader screen, but neither download mode, nor recovery, nor system.
I tried flashing both M's and N's hosd image, and neither will allow booting into download mode. As mentioned in previous posts, unless you can boot into download mode, you can't flash any other partition.
Furthermore, looks like you can only flash an HTC-signed kernel / initramfs to the hosd partition. I tried flashing both M's / N's boot image to hosd, and in both cases got an error saying it failed ASN1 verification.
Sad :crying:

Nope...on the white background bootloader screen, when trying to flash (with fastboot) any other partition except hosd, I'm getting
Code:
sending 'radio' (54625 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)
...but I can't figure out how to s-off in the current state either. Sunshine is an APK and requires the phone to boot into system. XTC2Clip's s-off instructions require entering into recovery mode.
Flashing different firmwares & RUUs without s-off is a big gamble

And i've left the phone charging over a longer time period, but every time i plug the phone in while it's off, the Orange LED light turns on, then the battery icon pops up, and then the phone turns on and its begins looping all over again. I read here on XDA that the phone isn't charging unless the LED light is registering a signal.
Ultimately, an RUU doesn't work for me. I get the error saying my battery is below 30%, and it aborts. I'd really like to get it running again so any help will be very much appreciated.

Unbelievable - I actually managed to unbrick my HTC 10!! :victory::victory::victory: I still don't understand exactly what happened, but I'll document everything I did...
Before:
S-ON
Flashed bad boot image in download mode
Could not enter download, RUU, recovery, or system mode - all of them enter into bootloop
Could only enter white background bootloader mode (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power), which only allows flashing signed hosd image
What I did:
Followed @Tarima's link above. With the phone in the white background bootloader mode, I ran fastboot flash $x $x.img with $x = each of the partitions. Except for hosd, all the other commands printed an error like
Code:
sending 'xbl' (1809 KB)... OKAY
writing 'xbl'... FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)
but I continued anyway.
Selected "REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER" from white background bootloader
Downloaded an RUU exe file from here (I got the 1.96.617.20 version, but in hindsight it probably doesn't matter which version), and extracted an RUU zip file (following this guide on Linux)
Renamed the RUU ZIP to 2PS6IMG.zip, copied it to the root of an empty FAT32-formatted microSD card, and inserted the card into the HTC 10 (inspired by this post and this post)
Selected "BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE" from white background bootloader
This triggered a screen prompting whether to install update from SD card (photo).
I didn't need to actually install the update from the SD card; instead, the presence of a valid update on the SD card may have short-circuited whatever was causing the download mode to crash loop, and allowed the phone to enter download mode and accept fastboot flash commands. Since my problem was a bad boot image, I just did
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
with the boot.img extracted from the official Nougat OTA zip's firmware.zip, and it worked! Phone was able to boot back into system / download / RUU / recovery. :victory:
I'd already given up hope and bought another HTC 10 off Swappa I've now learned my lesson and I'm going to S-OFF at once.

Similar thing happened to me .. I'm S-ON and had been flashing the proper firmwares from the get go by renaming them to 2PS6IMG with no problems.. then I upgraded to N firmware and it was smooth sailing.. then i decided to start fresh and formatted. That's when the problem of not being able to get into download mode started. I guess formatting did something to the partition I dunno.. anyway I did your steps of formatting a new sd in my phone as FAT32, dropped the 2PS6IMG zip on the card and it triggered download mode.. really strange.. thanks for posting your steps :good:
Glad to know it helped :victory:
