Hello everyone, I have an HTC desire 616 with a custom bootloader thanks to SPflash tool (done months ago) and now I need to perform a factory reset. Unfortunately I have:
- factory resets return, I have a "mount error"
- adb is only available in sideload mode and I cannot install anything since the security check of OTA package with my device fails.
- fastboot does not help since the bootloader is locked and I don t know how to reboot the device in download mode: "fastboot reboot emergency" says something about EDL dowload but goes back stuck in logo.
I wrote deadlock cause adb regular commands dont work, I need to flash a custom recovery from fastboot but cannot unlock the bootloader nor enter in download mode which I can enter only from adb. Yippee ki yay!
I have the latest HTC Sync Manager, Adb and fastboot, java sdk, Android sdk.
Any help??

Hi.
Hoping someone can help.
Struggling a little to get my Play rooted (not new to Android but coming from a HTC Desire where everything is pretty much done for you with one click tools etc)
I have unlocked the bootloader (Jinx13) and sim unlocked (was 02 - now using t mobile sim).
After unlocking bootloader I accepted the 2.3.3 (UK) update using SE Companion Tool (was this a mistake?)
Now trying to install the FreeXperia Recovery. I have installed the Android SDK and I'm pretty sure the driver is right (sa0102adb). If I type command "ADB Devices" I get a serial number returned so I presume ADB recognises the Play. However when I type the command to load the recovery (as per ClockwordMod recovery thread) ADB states "waiting for device" and I can go no further.
Any help would be much appreciated.
will.
You need to do it with fastboot (hold search button and plug usb - blue light) not adb and you can't install/flash that image you need to boot it. If you flash it you'll brick your phone. Ohh you need to download fastboot package and set it up. Try to look in the 'how to unlock your bootloader' thread for download link and 'how to'.
The play doesn't got a recovery partiton and therefor you can't install it as the recovery is part of the boot.img afaik. It's not like HTC where you have your S-ON/OFF and engHboot and can install a custom recovery. So on the play you can only boot CWM and then flash .zip files from there or flash Doomlords kernel as CWM is embeded in the kernel (boot phone, spam volume up/down when you see the splashscreen).

Thanks
It was the ADB v Fastboot that confused me! I had downloaded Fastboot but had not installed the drivers for fastboot (only the ones for ADB). I now have a superuser app showing so all appears to be well!
Thanks very much.
I have an HTC One m8 that is stuck on Bootloader. It is an unlocked bootloader with S-Off. I had CWM but I installed stock recovery back onto the phone before flashing a stock kernel (I was trying to make the phone look untampered with before I turned it over to my provider), the Kernel came with a sha1 and was from a trusted website and I am 100% sure it was the right compatible Kernel I'm pretty sure I just had a bad flash.
I have tired the following to get the phone past the bootloader:
1. Fastboot USB Mode --> Try to get ADB to recognize the device --> Debugging mode isn't on (obviously) --> ADB can't recognize the device.
2. Use AndroidSDKSlim/ Android SDK tools / Android Utility to remotely turn on Debugging mode (I got nowhere with this)
3. Attempted to use PdaNet to remotely turn on Debugging mode (got nowhere)
4. HTC Sense doesn't even know whats going on
I just need to get TWRP or CWM or litearlly Any recovery installed. That's all I need, I can do everything from there. I can't remotely install a recovery via adb because adb can't recognize my device because I can't turn Debugging mode on because my device is softbricked!!! Gahhhh. I haven't been able to come up with a way to remotely enable debugging mode or to get adb to recognize my device.
Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be heavily appreciated - I've resourced from every relevant thread I could find. Posting here was a last resort I try to fix things on my own but I'm too many days into this with no results please anybody.
ADB won't work while on fastboot mode. ADB only while in recovery or on OS running.
You don't need USB debugging on for fastboot
fastboot devices - see whether your device is listed with serial no.
if yes then run
fastboot flash recovery NameofRecovery.img

Thank you for reply!
I have not been able to get ADB to recognize the device, which is pretty much my whole issue right now. It does not appear under the devices list. If I can just get adb talking with my phone everything else should be easy, I just can't figure out why it's not recognizing it.

When on bootloader/fastboot mode
run command
fastboot devices
not adb devices

Oh.. My..God..
You just saved my life, this whole time I thought fastboot utility in AndroidSDK was just a stripped version of ADB. I'm a moron!
I have TWRP up and running holy crap thank you so so so so much, you are seriously a life saver.
try this

1) Reboot the phone using Power+Vol Up
2) The moment the screen goes dark to reboot and before the white HTC logo screen appears again (Should be around 10 seconds), press the volume down key.... Do not let go of vol down until you see the bootloader screen
3) If the bootloader doesn't appear, you either started pressing Vol Down too late, or let go of it too early. Just do the steps again until you get it right.
4) Once you are in the bootlader, select select fastboot by pressing power key.
5)you can flash either permanent or temporary a TWRP recovery once you are in fastboot.
6)Once you are in recovery mode, you can transfer any custom rom to memory or sd card, then install it from the place you chose.
7) you can flash RUU file at fatboot mode as well.
So basically what happened is that i flash a bad rom on my htc a5dwg. I could boot into TWRP 2.8.7.0 and flashed roms through ADB sideload but all gave me some error and were not flashing. So i flashed TWRP 3.1.1 img. Now i cant Access recovery, nor power and vol down button take me to HBOOT or Fastboot mode. Cant reboot to rom. Stuck at boot screen with HTC logo and the unlocked bootloader warning. I connected my phone to laptop and it does show up in device manager as MTP USB device but i cant use fastboot or ADB commands as it does not show up in the Fastboot ADB device options, Some help would be highly appreciated.
i am having the same problem have you found any way out yet?
I'm right now in 2.20.40.198 (L). I can't perform Recovery Mode functions. Tried Factory Reset, but no use. Tried placing Firmware.zip in root folder. Update is recognized but on restart there is no change. I can enter the boot menu with the dead android, but when choosing Recovery Mode, the device just gets restarted.
Asus Flash tool throws this error " XXXXXXX_frp_request_server_log.txt (error 5: access is denied.)"
The device seems to be in Fastboot Mode. Shows this:
Product_Name - Z00A
Bootloader Version - unknown
IFWI Version - 0094.1069
Serial Number -
Signing -?
Secure_Boot - ?
ADB recognises the device but when entering "adb reboot bootloader" , I am taken to the same Fastboot Mode.
Help appreciated.
Anyone here who can troubleshoot?
Thanks
