why dont you just do it through the recovery ?
To mount the sdcard in recovery type the following in adb
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
thanks to JesusFreke for figuring this out.

i dont have anything to connect my phone to another usb device..
im not very good at this stuff, but for some reason im stuck at the android loading screen, i think theres something wrong with the 2nd loading screen, idk what to do, i tried doing recovery with nandroid but i get an error, then i tried re apllying the update.zip file and still something wrong, im stuck and need help
so to do recovery, i do home + end button, which brings up everything right? alt stuff..
so what do i do from there, im sorry, but i fyou help me through this, ill do anything.. how do i enter those commands in the recovery?

1. fastboot doesn't work on recovery update zips. It is used on images made from nandroid backup (or img files made from building the source). In other words, fail.
2. Dev forum is not for troubleshooting.

u can mount your phone to your computer in recovery mode but using the code in my above post

So you can only use the .img files from AndroidSDK to update in fastboot? Im trying to fix an HTC G2 Vision (T-Mobile) for a friend, it doesnt boot and is NOT rooted, it will not seem to accept any official T-Mobile update or any i try to push or flash through fastboot. I have the nandroid backup images from another HTC G2 Vision (both phones stock rom) as well as the official T-Mobile updates yet they wont flash through fastboot or Hboot, ADB wont recognize it,fastboot will, i get failed to verify whole-file signature on most updates, but have gotten Main Version is older! mesage from 1 of the OTA updates i got from T-Mobile, and one that said something like failed to stat sytem/build.prop no such file or directory E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status7) everytime i boot her phone into recovery i get E:set_bootloader_message_block: emmc_read_data_fail! I thought if i could reflash bootimg or hboot or flashall i could fix it? am i wrong in this aassupmtion? I have reached out over half a dozen sites/forums for help and have not got any real help, if anyone can assist id appreciate it, u can alway pm me instead of dirtying the thread, Thank you!

Make a new topic there

three replacement splashes for mytouch

here are three replacement splash images I made for the mytouch
all you need to do is to copy the image you want to flash to your sdk tools directory and hook up your phone is fastboot mode. Turn phone off press and hold back and power and then connect usb cable and run the following command.
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 image.rgb565
just replace the word image above with the name of the file that you have and then use
Code:
fastboot reboot
enjoy new splash

im still a little confused....

What are you confused about? All it is, is a replacement splash screen. The screen that you see the first when the phone is powering up. All you do is extract to the SDK/tools folder on your computer from the android sdk that should be installed on your computer. Start the phone is fastboot like i mentioned above and the type the commands. with a more direct example say you want the middle one, once you have extracted and done the other steps (if you are unsure of above search around the forum there are steps elsewhere)
the command for the middle image is
fastboot flash splash1 badtouch.rgb565
fastboot reboot
and then that image will be your new splash screen on the device. very simple.

ha! M.J.'s BAD

you think you could make a "don't worry this mytouch has root" splash screen like the on for the g1

Haven't seen that one. Have a link?

Error
I get this error while trying to flash the boot screen
sending 'splash1' (300 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
What am I doing wrong

Sounds like you still have the original locked spl. You will need to flash a unlocked spl to do this. Just look at the how to root unroot MyTouch thread. It goes over the how to.

I love the 1bad splash! Thanks!

Help me unbrick my 176cX / Noob needs Advise

Hi everyone i´m new to this forum. I own a Asus ME176CX and updated to official lollipop 5 from asus.com. The device is rooted and it was a little bit slow so i decided to uninstall via root uninstall some of the Bloat Apps.
The Result is ... I messed it up. I deinstalled too many apps, and it seems that i uninstall some system apps too. When my device is booting it wont stop booting and i´m only able to turn the device off.
I can get into fastboot but my recovery mode says only failed when i try to start it. I´m really new to Android and asking for some advise here. I tried a lot of this workarounds here but nothing worked for me

If you want lollipop, take it to warranty. If you don't mind getting stuck on kitkat (after lollipop update you can run windows or linux on this tablet, and maybe use custom rom if anyone will make it using my idea), just say and I will write you steps how to get kitkat back.

yeah my girlfriend has the same tablet. I took a backup with girlfriends device with fbrl and get it on my device. Just had to change settings and accounts and everything works well again.

Hi Everyone, I'm new here too.
I have the same problem in this topic.
I can use fastboot mode Only, I can't use adb mode, and the bootloader is locked.
when i was trying to install original firmware with this command:
fastboot update update.zip
I get this messege:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I need solution for this.
I haven't problem to installing any operating system, like Windows, Ubuntu, Tizen, Android x86, or other.
Please, I really need help, more than five months i am looking for a way out from this problem but it's all failed, because the boot loader was locked.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi
Doesn't anybody have any ideas to help me ?
Maybe I must unlock bootloader to solve my problem.
But how I can do that ?

For people with access to bootloader:
1- Download .17 and extract it on desktop
2- go to META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and open it with notepad ++, and delete first 2 lines
3- compress it and rename it to update.zip and place it in adb folder (for me its c:\\adb)
4- shutdown the tablet and press (power and vol-) to go to bootloader.
5- write on adb "adb push update.zip /sdcard/" wait until it finishes (dont leave bootloader)
6- Download Temp Recovery: www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347782876
7- On windows, open temp recovery program, and say "ACCEPT", and press 2 then press T4 and it should boot to the temp recovery on the tablet.
8- then install the update.zip, and then format cache and dalvik, then reboot and it should be fixed.

4- copy droidboot.img from .17 and put in in adb folder
5- go to fastboot and write "fastboot boot droidboot.img" it should boot to bootlaoder *do it at least 10 times because sometimes, the tablet boots to software and not bootloader*
6- if you are in bootloader then, Download Temp Recovery: www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347782876

Hi Ruben,
What do you mean from step 1 ? Where can I find the (.17) to i can download it ?
When I perform step 7, it gave me error.
Overall, I had sent my problem to Asus support and their interaction was bad enough to hates them.
My problem has now ten months I have not found a solution, and the company asking me to send the device to America and I'm outside America.
I promise you I will avoid buying Asus devices from today onwards.
Thank you for trying to help us.

You said you have access to fastboot though? Then you should also be able to boot into the temp recovery (e.g. TWRP)

OK ..
I don't flashed the TWRP Recovery, and I can't get into fastboot / droidboot mode.
But when I press on this buttons (Volume up + Volume down + and Power) while booting, the device stopped on the ASUS logo screen, and in this status my PC connected with my Tablet device, and I can use fastboot commands, no thing other.
I can't use the ADB commands.
Also, When I tried flashing the firmware with ASUS Flash Tool, or CMD shell, I got the same message: FAILED (remote failure).
When I was trying to install the original firmware through CMD Shell with this command: "fastboot flash update update.zip"
I got this message:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
When I tried with IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 to flash TWRP or CWM Recovery, I got the error messages such as:
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
FAILED (command write failed (No such device or address))
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
I can't write anything to the device, That's everything.
I think i must unlock the bootloader to solve my problem.
But how do I do that ?

What you're saying doesn't make much sense. How did you actually mess up your tablet?
Please also tell me the following:
- What happens if you power on the tablet normally?
- What happens if you power on the tablet using Vol+ and the power button?
- What happens if you power on the tablet using Vol- and the power button?
Unlocking the bootloader is not possible on this device and it wouldn't help you anyway if you can't get into fastboot (the droidboot screen). As far as I know the fastboot screen you can enter with Vol+ and Vol- and the power button is pretty much useless, you need the droidboot screen to recover your tablet.

Or I press on Volume up button, and Power button
Or I press on Volume down button, and Power button
The result is the same, It's a red line is showing on screen bottom, then the device stops working.

I don't think you'll have many options to repair your tablet at this point. You could have luck if you have a powered OTG hub, by booting something like Linux and flashing the necessary stuff back to the internal storage, although depending on how much you messed up, that may not make things better. The other option is sending it in to ASUS.

what i mean with .17 is the software (first lollipop release)
you can get it here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.17_KK-user.zip
and to run the temp recovery make sure you have access to bootloader and have all drivers installed, if your computers says something about adb drivers for bootloader add these drivers so that it works: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/ADB_driver.zip if you still cant acces is because you did not installed properly all the needed drivers. I wish u luck.

if you cant access bootloader or fastboot the only way to get it back, is to have a otg powered hub, and run uefi, and then boot linux and then reinstall the android partitions. (im very newbie at this so i cant tell u much about it)

well you have made some stuff wrong, BUT i think you can get it back, first of all its not supposed for you to actually install twrp or cwm, and you need this file: (droidboot.img) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3h_JptTNZeeRjdXdE1rWlNLYnM/view?usp=sharing
and place it in c:\\adb and then do fastboot boot droidboot.img and then it should boot to the bootloader if it doesnt, then do it again and again until it does.. (you need to do it several times to make it work, at least thats how i got out of bootloop), then in the bootloader you have access to adb commands so temp recovery should be working, if it still doesnt then it means it needs the adb drivers for the bootloader, after u loaded twrp recovery load .17 update(place the update in microsd, or adb push update.zip /sdcard/) and it should work

lambdadroid, Ruben Craveiro
Thank you guys so much for trying help me.
I tried everything except OTG powered hub.
I will try with OTG powered hub, and I hope solves my problem.
Thank you for everything.

Hello
I tried these two methods to recover my unrooted Memo tab. The push method doesn't do anything and the second method says "wating for device"
A little background info on how I got here. The tablet got stuck on the loading screen after the last OTA update. I tried to do the factory reset from the tablet but I get the following messsage, "E: Can't open /dev/block/by-name/misc"
I have also tried to load the zip file using sideload and get the following message.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Not sure what else to try...any help is appreciated.

you can access dnx mode(fastboot starting #1#2#3), so you can go into bootloader, heres how: get the file efilinux.efi and droidboot.img and put them in adb folder (you can get the droidboot.img on update.zip and if u look on .33 version theres a zip inside of it that its called ESP, you can find efilinux.efi from there) after doing that go into DnX mode on the tablet, and do these fastboot commands: "fastboot flash osloader efilinux.efi" and do "fastboot boot droidboot.img" and this will certainly make you boot to droidboot/bootloader and from there you can load temp recovery and flash the software, and no need for otg hub

Download for ADB folder is spam
NO download available for the ADB folder, website is just a bunch of spam.

thats working greatly

How can i unroot it?

Need help to go from Cyanogenmod to Stock, bootloop

Hello, i bought this phone used a few years ago and it had cyanogen mod, it was working fine till about a year ago where i stopped using it for like half a year. Then borrowed it to a parent and when they started using it started malfunctioning, there was problem installing apps i think and then it just got stuck on boot saying "optimizing apps xx of 96" and it would stay like that nonstoop and it became VERY HOT. I wiped it but it gave me error when trying to install apps, and then it got stuck on boot again just like before. I did a recovery and it lets me boot now but i don't wanna risk it doing the same again so i just want to have it back to 100% stock.
Now i'm kinda a noob at this, but i do know quite a lot a bout PCs so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
I saw a guide by @alray which seemed easy enough:

HTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
Quote:
Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone"
But i can't find my exact phone model thus i don't know which ROM to get and where to get it.
Phone model is PN07110 (says at the back), when i go into the "about" tab on OS it just says "HTC ONE" on model. Done an Imei check and it says Customer: MOBILE DISTRIBUTION GROUP, INC. Country: US. How can i find the exact model and room for it?
Also i've checked at is S-on
Thanks in advance guys!

To know your phone info, you'll need to use the "fastboot getvar all" command:
Install Minimal adb and fastboot on your computer and the latest htc drivers (you can install the latest drivers by installing htc sync manager from htc's website).
Once adb and the drivers are installed, connect your phone to your pc, reboot the phone in bootloader mode (hold power + volume down button until you see a white screen like this). Make sure your phone is in bootloader mode (like on the right picture, showing "FASTBOOT USB" in red. If it's bootloader mode (HBOOT in blue) use you volume up/down key to highlight the FASTBOOT option and use the power button to enter fastboot menu.
Then on your computer click the start menu ---> program ---> minimal adb and fastboot ---> minimal adb and fastboot.exe.
This will open a command window. Type "fastboot getvar all" without the quotes, hit Enter and copy paste (or screenshot) the output in your next post. Make sure to delete the IMEI and SERIALNO lines before posting.

The latest RUU version for your phone is 6.15.599.101
Download these 2 files and save them in the same folder where is installed minimal adb and fastboot on your computer
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347843559
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24341993505161791
Reboot your phone in bootloader (fastboot usb) menu and lunch minimal adb and fastboot.exe
In the terminal window type (commands are case sensitive):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in RUU mode, a black screen with a silver HTC logo
Then flash the RUU with this command:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_U_K443_SENSE60_MR_HTC_LA_SPA_6.15.599.101_Radio_4T.28.3218.04_10.33E.1718.01D_release_388532_signed.zip
The flash will begin and the first part of the RUU will be flashed. After a few seconds, your phone will reboot to ruu mode (you'll get generic error message in your terminal window saying: "Failed remote: 90 Hboot pre-update! Please flush image again immediately" don't worry that's normal) and flash the second part of the RUU (should take about 10 minutes).
Once the flash is done you should see in your terminal window the message:
Code:
Successful
OKAY
Finished. Total time: XXX seconds
(The green progress bar on your phone screen might not show exactly 100% that's normal.)
If yes it's now safe to reboot your phone using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then wait for your phone to boot (first boot after flashing a RUU can take longer than usual)
If something goes wrong during the ruu flash do not reboot your phone. Rebooting the phone during an incomplete ruu flash can brick it. Make sure to have your battery fully charged before proceeding. If your bootloader is unlocked (bootloader lock/unlock status is shown in pink when in bootloader mode) you must re-lock it before flashing the RUU using the
Code:
fastboot oem lock
command.

Ok, i've put the rar and the other file in the Minimal ADB folder like you told me, opened Minimal ADB and put the code you said but it apparently failed.

Go back in bootloader mode and check if your bootloader is unlocked or locked (first line of text in pink). If its unlocked use this command to re-lock:

Or using power + volume down.
Yes safe to reboot, nothing flashed yet

That's fine now go back in ruu mode using
Code:

and once there proceed with

You don't need to input the command twice, the phone will reboot itself after the first part and once back in ruu mode the second part will start to flash automatically.

A factory reset will remove all your personal info from the phone.
It can be done from bootloader (3rd option when in the hboot menu) or from the OS: Settings --> Backup & reset --> Reset phone
You're welcome
