That's strange man, how did you transfer it?
Try to use ADB to flash another recovery while in fastboot I believe its "adb flash recovery /folder/folder/recoveryfilename.zip" see if that works. If adb gives you a permission error type into BASH terminal (Ubuntu/Debian) or command prompt (win) "adb root". If that recovery works there should be an option somewhere to Mount the SD card. Make sure the recovery you flash is built for your device.

it is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
but i don't think that this will solve his problem, i think that something messed up his partitions, probably he will need to run a RUU and see if that works

Here's the ruu for your device : http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...-r-radio-5120416229-release-302015-signedexe/
Download it. Lock your Bootloader : fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu with admin privileges. It will take your phone back to full stock!
If your problem doesn't solve even now, it might be a hardware failure of some sort...

Then you can do it with a nandroid backup !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140
Go there and download the matching nandroid of your cid and main !
You need to flash the boot.img from the nandroid and unpack the nandroid to the phones sdcard then perform a full wipe and restore the nandroid.
It might need a JTAG.

i am also thinking the same
So, I tried to get the latest Cyanogenmod on my phone.
Resulted in the the process com.android.phone has stopped issue.
FInally managed to get around that but no my phone is stuck with no CWM, no USB Windows fileshare and a HTC bootscreen.
I have searched, and read a lot of posts and the closes thing to recovery is a post on putting on a Nandroid backup for my Y13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140)
But, since I have no USB fileshare I am unable to get it on the phone and start the process.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I need to completely wipe and reinstall everything but has no access other that fastboot USB.
What info should I post and how do I find it if more is needed.

Thanks Thant!
So, I have downloaded Philz, I think I have flashed the recovery.img file over to the phone from CMD shell window.
I have rebooted my phone to fastboot menu and selectet recovery.
The result is still the same. Just the htc boot screen.
I`m sure I`m doing something wrong but cant figure out how. Philz How to uses USB / PC file transfer so I`m unable to use it as a step by step.
Would really appreciate a step by step command overview. If possible with an explanation so that I learn why I do the different commands. Then I wont be so f.. ignorant about these things anymore. Hopefully

Hello, I'm from Bulgaria, I bought a Desire HD that was with relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com. Now it is unlock. The phone not load any ROM, can,'t make recovery from bootloader, can't make factory reset from bootloader. I tried to flash several stock ROMs before and after unlocking, but getting a different errors. Attempted ROMs are with the same RADIO. I Tried this-
just copy the rom.zip from temp folder of your user name on pc while running that RUU at the next of second step..i mean while you double click of the RUU then you the first prompt that you must thick "Understand blah blah blah.." then click next..you must hold setup at this step..and tried search the rom.zip in your temp folder of your pc and copied to another folder..then rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put in to the root of your sd card..then boot the phone to bootloader mode..wait until bootloader reading and checking the PD98IMG.zip file..then ask you to confirm if you wanna flash it.. but without success. Stay on the white screen with grenn HTC logo when is turned on, and when I tried to make recovery or factory reset. When the stock ROM start to install (before give me a error ) the screen stay on grey HTC logo on Black screen. Can anyone help me? I attached a picture of Bootloader-

Uhh, have you actually installed recovery - if you haven't well that's why.
Go here: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/ace/recovery.zip
Extract the files
Copy recovery img to your adb.exe folder (make sure fastboot.exe is there)
Turn on your phone into fastboot mode
CD to that directory and type in "fastboot devices"
Confirm it says your serial
Then type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Now you have recovery (it means you can flash roms and kernels and mods and anything flashable apart from radios and firmwares)
I did this correctly, everything is OK, but now what? I tried to install stock ROM, but with no result. Here is a pictures of instalation-
now select recovery, and install ROM there

hope this can help..

Thank you ! Now the bootloader is unlocked, and I did that from the second post with already unlocked bootloader. Still nothing can I do.
just tried installing another custom recovery...just try download it TWRP recovery from here.. copied to your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder and flashing it through FASTBOOT mode with command .. "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img"
hope this time your phone will had a custom recovery installed

that's so weird..it must be something wrong with that phone..
what about if you try return to the stock first..?
to do that...firstly just find the cid num of your phone by command through fastboot "fastboot getvar all" (you can find your cid in the INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX) if you wanna show me the output of that command..don't forget just remove your imei and serial number first..
after you find your cid num you can find the right RUU for your phone..just check it here to find what RUU you must download it..and just download it the RUU with same main version of your phone or higher version than yours..
after that just relocked your bootloader through fastboot "fastboot oem lock"...now you can continued flashing that RUU
hope this help..

Here it is
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?

of course
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.

You should be 100% to RUU. It's just a good practice

You are absolutely right, it was totally dumb :crying:
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:
Good Day, first time posting so here is the huge problem i have.
1 - My power button no longer works
2 - No ROM installed
3 - Vol buttons work
So due to an error on my part i wiped my system , data, delv/cache , and because i was rushing i rebooted the phone before installing the new rom. Now normally i would just boot into recovery and flash a rom, but my power button no longer works. I can get into download mode if the phone dies by holding vol down and plugging into a pc, and such can use fastboot commands, but with no Rom i cant get USB debugging to use "adb reboot recovery" . Is there anyway that i can get into recovery or a way to flash stock recovery, system and such. thanks in advance.

Have tried an ruu? I suggest using the sdcard method. Safest.

i havent tried that, i thought i need stock recovery and to relock the bootloader for RUU, can you explain "SD card method" .

No you don't need to lock bl. Or need stock recovery, That's outdated info.
Sure:
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.

Absolutely. Are you soff or son?
If son Id have to double check about locking bl but I'm quite sure that's very old info, and ruu has the stock recovery and just overwrites w.e you have
And soff you 100% don't need to mess w anything.
I'm soff/locked bl and flash ruu all the time. :good:
HTC website may even have directions but not sure.

Oh shoot I was thinking backwards, sorry. You need be stock ruu to turn from soff to son.
You can flash ruu np son, but it must match your cid/mid - Carrier ID / Mosel ID.
well its like a brick now anyway, im not sure if i did the CID "111111" , something like that a long time ago. well ill see what i can do, thanks for all your help

That's "SuperCID" and iirc you need soff to achieve, I have it as well set to that. It allows you to flash any ruu to your device.
Very welcome, mention me if you are in need of anything else.

so i just tried "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" and got security error , so i did "fastboot oem lock" but now i cant lock the bootloader cuz i cant press power to confirm, i will try to put it on the SD card and try to see if it'll auto flash. but other than that any other ideas? just for educational know how, im planning on ordering new a new power/vol flex cable anyway.

Dang yea I think you did f need the vol for SD method... Shoot.
But you don't need to lock bl..
That's not correct line: you need to be in rebootRUU mode.
I'm just gunna copy and paste this from vzw thread, applies to all.
"Option 1
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
