Apparently when it comes to rooting, flashing, etc I know enough to wreak havoc. This is my first attempt at rooting and flashing a new rom. I decided to experiment with my old g1 before doing it with my vibrant. What I have managed to do is make it not work. I was following the guide to flash cm 6. I updated the radio, then put danger spl on, that was the easy part. Through this entire process when I power+home I'd get the triangle ! and would need to press alt+L to see my options. When I would try to update the rom I would get "can't find update script" and the installation would fail. Now my G1 just hangs at the t-mobile G1 screen. I can get into my fastboot and recovery screen so I know I'm not completely toast. I have installed android sdk on my computer and updated the drivers, in device manager it recognizes my "android phone" but when I go into adb or fastboot my device is not recognized. I'm lost and not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need a custom recovery image.
See this post and follow instructions for fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
I tried to follow that, but fastboot doesn't recognize my device.
Just to clarify the "fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)" this would be from the cmd prompt correct?
Any ideas? Anyone?

Hello,
ok so the problem is I tired to update to Jelly beam, i read about it here and i follow the steps. I make it to recovery and when i wanted to install files from zip it gave me error - Installation Aborted. I read somewhere that i have to update my Clockwork recovery so i tried and since then i can't do anything. When i press the power button i go to bootloader, from there if i chose Recovery the phone reboots and stucks on the colored X. When i type "adb devices" in cmd so i can try to apply some method list of devices is empty. I think it can be fixed if i make it to recovery but i can't. I looked a lot and maybe its because im mad or something but i can't find a solution, so if anyone can help me i will be very happy. I don't bother if im back to stock.

Tried that, stuck on : <waiting for device>
EDIT: I tried on my brother laptop and it worked but when i exucute the command, it says FAILED(remote: image update error)
EDIT2: Thanks i fixed it its working now. WOOHO!
when in bootloader have phone in fastboot mode, connect to pc via usb, make sure you have the proper drivers
HERE, THIS SHOULD HELP this is for a different phone so dont use the files but the concept is the same
After only four day of having this phone i managed to brick it. I would really like to know if its fixable or if i have a really nice paper weight. Im stuck on a boot loop, I was half way through flashing a rom when it suddenly shut off. Now it will not boot up. I can load into the bootlader but when i try to go into recovery it just sends me to fastboot. When i restart the phone i can see the old recovery (TWRP)for just an instant but then the screen goes completely black. If i plug in to my pc, nothing happens my computer detects it but it says y device is damaged nd it cant identify it. PLEASE HELP Am i out of luck?
Ive looked around but i couldnt seem to find anyone with the same problem as me (Sprint Variant)
Good news it's not bricked i would put this question on the rom thread someonethere sshould be able to help
There's a Sprint One forum as well, so hopefully you found a ROM on there!

I really hope so because on a college budget i cant afford another phone D:
Seen this in a couple of other places. Seems certain recoveries are possibly becoming currupted during flashing a new ROM.
What you need to do it get back into fastbboot, and....
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
the re-flash your recovery, boot into recovery, full wipe and reflash your ROM.

Can you flash recovery in fastboot ?
the safest thing to do is relock and use a matching RUU to get back to stock

Your phone isn't bricked. There are two tools in this forum that can help you. One is made by hasoon2000(I think that's his user name), and the other is jwtool(I think). Use them to help to flash a recovery if you don't know how to use fastboot.

Edit: Just got done typing the stuff below and saw you can't connect to your device in fastboot? What do you mean by re-installed driver?
Don’t worry, as long as you can still get into hboot your phone is not completely bricked!
The fastboot commands I referred to need to be carried out on your laptop/pc when you phone is connected in fastboot.
Can I assume that as you have already unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery you are already familiar with this and have your computer set up for fastboot commands?
(Apologies if you already know some of this, best not to skip parts out though!)
I’d start with downloading a fresh version of your chosen recovery, and place it in your fastboot directory ready. I’d also do the same with your ROM.
Like you have already done, boot into fastboot. Connect your phone to your pc, and the red text should change to ‘Fastboot USB’.
Then open up command prompt and get to your fastboot directory. (On Windows 7 you just find that folder in Explorer, hold shift and right-click, then choose ‘Open command window here’.)
To check your pc is talking to your phone, type ‘fastboot devices’. You should get a device serial number back if all is well.
Then type ‘fastboot erase cache’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot erase recovery’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery].img’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot reboot recovery’ and hit enter.
Hope fully you should successfully boot into recovery now. Once in recovery, mount USB storage and copy over your fresh ROM. Choose to do a full wipe including cache and dalvik, then reflash your ROM.
Reboot.
Let me know how this goes.

I used the hasoon2000 to flash TWRP earlier, but my problems is that my pc wont recognize my phone. When i plug it in it and try to re-flash it it cant find it. When i check my devices it shows up as an android device but it says the drivers are damaged. if i could get it to read it i think i should be eable to reflash somethint.
I APPRICIATE ALL THIS HELP. i really am trying to be as specific as possible :fingers-crossed:
Hey so just a thought and experience I have had with all my HTC phones is when you see that quick glimpse of the TWRP recovery screen then it disappears to an empty black screen......you are sometimes still in a form of recovery but during your Rom flash something (i don't know for sure) changed and it doesn't show the screen only black. So with that long explanation out of the way....have you tried once the screen goes black the
"adb devices "
Mine whenever in this situation would return the output of serial number and recovery so then you can push or sideload the Rom and boot into the system at which point your fastboot drivers will finally be recogniZed.....
Hope this helps a little

I'd say the next step is to re-install your drivers in the SDK. Open up your Android SDK and reinstall them. In Windows Device Manager, find your connected device (probably now with an exclamation mark on it) and right click on it and select 'Update Driver'.
(Assuming you are using Windows 7 here?)

when you are in fastboot, connect your phone using the usb cable, and when you see "fastboot" written in red turned into "fastboot usb" or something like this, do the commands below using cmd window of course :
1) fastboot erase recovery
2) fastboot erase cache
3) fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
4) fastboot erase cache

(Win8 but the procces is identical.) All my drivers are up to date. Still no love.
On the dev forum is a thread that includes all the latest drivers (including an app to remove older drivers.)
Find that thread, download the drivers and bmp and driver removal tool. Remove drivers with tool, install the new drivers, reboot, connect phone and see if 'adb devices' finds anything.
Also make sure you're using the latest adb.

My pc will not recognize my phone. The drivers are up to date but when i plug it in it says something malfunctioned ?
Hope I can find some help as I ran into what seems to be a pretty serious issue. I haven't been able to find any steps that gets my phone back into booting the actual OS, so posting my specific problem seems to be the only option. A lot of thanks for anyone that can possibly help.
So, followed these instructions to root my phone and get it ready for installing a new ROM, but got stuck at instruction 18.
Which says: (a few before too)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img (I used recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img)
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
Once I did that, I restarted my phone and it loaded up clockwork recovery screen. This seemed fine, but every time I clicked to restart system it keeps on putting me back to this screen.
* I've tried clearing cache and booting, creating a backup and restoring and booting,
* I've got to the bootloader of the OS, but when I go to recovery, it brings me back here.
* I can't connect via the terminal w/ adb or fastboot as it complains it can't connect to device or just waiting for device.
* Neither the Android File Manager nor HTC Sync Manager can connect.
* I've tried only having one application installed for file management hoping that it's just a conflict, but to no avail.
* Can't use an sdcard load since there's no sdcard
* Trying a sideload doesn't work because I can't connect to the device.
I'm afraid I bricked my phone. I hope someone can offer some suggestions.
Again, thank you for your time.

You can't reboot into bootloader with a longpress of Power + Vol- button under a strong light?
I can get there, to bootloader by using the power and volume down, but no matter what option i pick it gets me back to clockworkmod. I've tried connecting then via terminal, but still nothing. Pretty frustrating.
In fastboot with the command:
Code:
fastboot devices
you can't see your phone?
If yes, flash the latest TWRP/CWM, do an erase cache and flash or sideload a rom
Right, nothing is output w/ that. Neither in bootloader or clockworkmod screen.
You've the right driver installed?
And, in device manager you can see your phone without any yellow triangle?
p.s. are you using windows, right?
Forgot to mention that, I'm on a Macbook Pro.
So Fastboot flash different recovery does not work?
When you where in recovery, did you flash any new ROM?

So you have to add a

before the fastboot/adb command.
In fastboot type:
Code:
./fastboot devices
and check if you can see your device

Thanks for the command... sadly it just says waiting for device. The core problem it seems now is that my computer won't recognize the USB connection for this device.
I think I just found out what I did wrong
instead of running this:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
I ran this:
/fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
based on command history. Crap.

Yeah, I know, only way you can get the whole process working is by adding ./ or if you wanted to put it on your $PATH variable, but that would be pointless.
Well your op says you attempted to do backups and restore, so you obviously seem to have CWM installed.

Yeah, it's installed. Just I think now because it was put on as a boot vs recovery it's treating it as the OS, possibly, so when I try to boot the system,it just boots CWM. The OS is there though, if I do a backup you can see all the files (especially proprietary stuff from HTC) still on the drive. But w/o access to it via terminal I don't know if there's a way to fix the boot problem. I can get to the bootloader,if I only it could mount to my computer from there (or even in CWM). Access to the phones drive seems to be the only way to clean it up.

As I gathered from your description, you are using a MAC.
I think you should use your friends PC to use the command to install the recovery and see if it solves the problem.
Alternatively you can use Heimdall Terminal fir MAC, which is sort of ODIN for MAC and try to reinstall your firmware.

I can use virtual box now... i'll give it a try.
I use Mac as well and I ran into same connectivity problems as you do, but it was not during unlocking, rooting.. I had a Bootloop going with some mods conflicts, anyway, not important. I used my missus win 7 laptop and there it would see it and I could fix my problems there. Mac has had issues with SdK not working.
Alas, do run the Fastboot flash recovery command if you get it talking, as you temporarily can access CWM before flashing it permanently.

I have a similar problem
My specs:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH

OpenDSP v31.120.274.0617

TWRP v2.6.3 - working correctly
I have no backup and no ROM on my phone
I can access HBOOT just fine via power + vol down
Team Win Recovery also seems to function properly
My phone is not listed under adb devices
and the worst of all, my phone won't connect to my PC!!
Here is the problem,
I got bored with my stock ROM, so I decided to try CyanogenMod 10.1. Having installed a few ROMs in the past, I felt comfortable tampering with the software on my HTC One (Sprint). I first had clockworkmod flashed and I booted to HBOOT and wiped everything I had an option to wipe. I fear this was my mistake, I also did not create a backup prior to my tampering. After wiping my phone with clockwork, I tried moving the Cyanogen zip to my phone. This is when I noticed my phone would not connect to the PC. I tried different PC's and cords. I am using USB 2.0 and the laptop even makes a ding noise when I enter fastboot usb. My phone is not listed in C: drive, device manager, or adb devices.
I now have flashed TWRP and made sure all my drivers are up to date. I installed HTC Sync Manager, which can not find my phone. I tried to send the cyanogen zip to my phone via fastboot flash zip cm-10.1.3-m7spr.zip. This failed to pass signature verification test. I thought being unlocked bypassed the sig check but I guess not. I tried to gain S-OFF using revone. I couldn't send revone to my phone either. I also tried installing the stock ruu. I got my phone to the black HTC screen and ran the ruu.exe and whammo! ERROR [155] UNKNOWN ERROR...
I'm looking for a way to move my rom zip file to my phone so I can install via TWRP. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

hey sorry I'm sure this has been covered but I've been trying to root my new phone for the past 15+ hours and after installing Android revolution HD one 92.04a9 through Team Win Recovery project v2.6.3.0 it now keeps restarting in recovery and then takes me to Recovery project after a htc logo screen.
This is the first time I have attempted to root a phone and I'm a noob evidently so please go easy on me. (all I wanted was to hook up my bluetooth controller so I can play FF7 with more ease) any help would be greatly appreciated as I've just moved from London to the middle of nowhere and I'm bored out of my mind without my beloved HTC

I am so frustrated with general support of HTC. I am trying to get in touch with service for two months and no luck. My next phone won't be HTC for sure, I know.

Try factory reset from twrp recovery and the flash again. Also you can try to download the zip of the ROM again to be sure it is downloaded correctly and try change the twrp version.
You are using an older version of twrp. Try updating it first to the latest version and try flashing your rom again
Get the latest one here
https://dl.twrp.me/m7/
But how do I do that if my phone wont appear in my computer any more?
Its 100% connected to my computer though because its appearing in devices printers but under the name android 1.0
You cannot enter in fastboot mode? If you can, then you flash recovery via fastboot

@istribo is right, to flash arhd you need at least twrp 2.6.3.3 or newer (latest version is 2.8.7.0) To update your recovery, make sure you have HTC drivers installed on your computer and also uninstall htc sync if its installed (but do not uninstall the drivers). Download your new twrp .img file from the link istribo posted above, save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer. Reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Open a terminal window from your adb/fastboot folder and use these commands to flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot in recovery and flash arhd.
Note that you should also have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware installed on your phone if flashing Android 5.0.2 Sense roms. You can know your firmware version with the command "fastboot getvar version-main"
My phone wont appear in my computer so how am I supposed to copy over the files...

If you press power button and volume down button it gets you into recovery. Then u choose fastboot and the you do what alray said.
right so the fact my phone wont appear in my computer doesn't matter then?
Okay sorry for being silly I've just read that properly. Problem is when I got to install adb/fast boot it says something like incorrect parameter 'sheppard'

Connect your phone to a USB 2 port directly from your computer (no external usb hub, better to use back ports, not front ports)
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode by holding power and volume down. When in bootloader, make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption, if not select the "fastboot" option using the vol up/down and power key to enter. Once "fastboot" option is selected, make sure you now see the red "fastboot usb" caption.
Open a terminal window from your sdk tools folder
Type "fastboot getvar all" without the quotes en hit enter
copy paste the output here so we can see it (but do not post your IMEI/Serialno)
Then update your twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
