When you boot is there an unlocked lock at the bottom of the boot screen? If not, then you need to unlock your bootloader. If you have the Android SDK installed boot into Fastboot by turning on the phone by pressing the trackball and power at the same time and hold them until the phone is in Fastboot mode. Then on your computer in a command prompt window (I am assuming Windows here) type
fastboot oem unlock
Then follow insructions on phone that says you are about to void your warranty by unlocking the bootloader. When you say yes, the phone will clear user data so backup anything you want, and then it will reboot with an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Stuck on HTC loading screen

When I boot my phone up I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I read before that I can put a file on my SD card and use HBOOT to recover from this. My question is: I want to restore my phone to the factory rom, what file do I use?
AT&T HTC VIVID HBOOT 1.85.0025
are you s-on or s-off? if your s-on you can just flash the RUU and get back to stock. But you dont flash hboot only time you do that is when you s-off and you do it once. But if you get stuck at the htc screen while flashing a rom your probably s-on you need to flash the kernel using fastboot commands. We need more info on your situation

Thanks for the reply. My phone was completely stock, so I take it I was s-on? I'll do more reading on this s-on/s-off stuff before proceeding. Thanks again.

yea its best to read everything a few times. and remember as long as your bootloader is locked you can flash an RUU so if youve never messed with it im sure it is

S-on/s-off has no bearing on this. Locked/unlocked bootloader does. If your phone was completely stock, then your bootloader is already locked, so you can boot to bootloader (hold vol- and power together), select Fastboot, plug your phone into your PC, and run the stock RUU.

[Q] Can't flash and boot to custom recovery even with unlocked bootloader

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find anything that works for me.
I unlocked my device's bootloader normally through htcdev.com. I then flashed TWRP in fastboot with the following commands:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
After flashing I can't boot into recovery no matter what. I tried the option from bootloader and adb reboot recovery and the phone simply boots into Android. I have flashed CWM and TWRP many many times.
What's interesting is that my bootloader screen only says unlocked instead of unlocked and tampered. I have M7_UL with hboot 1.44
Any help would be appreciated!

Is fastboot unchecked in Settings -> Power? Make sure it's unchecked then power down. Once it's powered down, enter bootloader, then recovery.

Yes it was. I finally managed to fix it by repeatedly flashing it over and over and over. I don't even know how doing the same thing many times can produce different results but I guess it did here.
Thanks for the reply.

[Q] HTC ONE M7 - Can't unlock bootloader after it is relocked

i have searched high and low for help on this one and can't find anything similar.... Though I found one thread that suggests I attempt the HTVDEV unlock code 5 times in a row.. Which did not work.
I returned my phone to stock several weeks ago. Locked the boot loader (see pic#1) Then I had something weird happen , where The phone rebooted to a "enter password to decrypt"??? I never encrypted my phone. So I read the only way around this was to do a factory reset. So, I rebooted the phone into bootloader and attempted a factory reset. The phone then rebooted and is frozen on the HTC splash screen. See pic#3
I have attempted to unlock the bootloader so I can flash a good recovery (which I cannot access, then will just reboot)
So basically I only have access to fastboot. When I plug in the phone into windows, I cannot access through ADB. (Same thing in Linux)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I could not get an ADB connection. I attempted to flash a new recovery, but of course with no root, s-on and bootloader locked... no dice.

Yeah and all you can do from fastboot with those restrictions is, erase cache. Erase it like 3 times in a row and see if it works, who knows. I flashed cwm recovery which sometimes gets me into recovery, like 1 out of 10 recovery flashes. then you are allowed to finally use adb commands

Red caution sign when booting into Recovery

Hey guys, I was planning to unlock my HTC Desire C using Desire_C_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 but every time i try to unlock the boot-loader it gets stuck showing a red exclamation mark after showing the green circulating arrows. I tried several ways to get into recovery via USB/ADB and using the hardware buttons. Please someone help me out. Thanks in advance.
Thought this info might be helpful-

Well if that's the stock recovery then why don't I see options like wipe dalvik cache? And nothing happens after the red sign ,like its just stuck there.

Which is why you flash custom recoveries. Follow the steps to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery.

Have you unlocked the bootloader? If yes, then use fastboot commands to flash a recovery. If not, then unlock the bootloader and then flash a custom recovery.

ok ,much appreciated
If it just needs a recovery flashing is it not just the following:
Code:
Download appropriate recovery (extract from .zip/etc).
Copy to Fastboot.exe folder on PC
Boot phone into HBoot
Select Fastboot.
Connect to PC (should now say FASTBOOTUSB or vice-versa).
Start a Terminal on PC, Change Directory to your Fastboot Folder (cd c:/fastboot/ or whatever it's named on your PC).
Run the command in Terminal
fastboot flash recovery NameOfYourRecovery.img
If I remember rightly

Bad Encryption Gone Wrong

Hi Guys/Girls,
So today a friend gave me a HTC m7 to try and fix........From what i can gather something went wrong when they tried to encrypt the phone. Now when turn it on it asks for a password, when you get it wrong it wants to reset the phone, but this achieves nothing and you end up back at the encryption page. Neither Recovery Or Factory Reset work it comes up with: E:failed to mount /data. Also says some stuff before that about E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg, which im guessing is why i cant unlock the bootloader? i can get fastboot to work but as soon as i ask for the token it just sits and does nothing. adb does not seem to work.
As a side note i have 2 other htc m7's with broken screens, so if this is something that needs a hardware change that may be possible id assume?. I'm just unsure where to go from here, if i cant unlock the bootloader then what can you do???
I've rooted a few phones but your talking to abit of a beginner here guys.
Anyway TIA!

Sorry if this seems nooby, but can you use a RUU with a locked boot loader and s-on? i cant even get the phone to respond to "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". I've been all over htc1guru but its abit beyond me, does fastboot flash work on a locked bootloader?
This seems to be a pretty bad catch 22, i cant fix the issue, because the issue stops me from doing anything. Any alternate ways around this guys???

When S-ON, a ruu must be flashed with a locked bootloader, thats the only way Only S-OFF phones can flash a ruu with an unlocked bootloader.

Can your phone at least reboot in RUU mode (Black screen with silver HTC logo)?
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Can you post the outputs of
Code:
fastboot oem last_dmesg
and
Code:
fastboot oem dmesg

None of those commands work all i get is "< waiting for devices >". It is connecting to my pc i hear the noise of a device connecting plus "fastboot version" comes up with "htc_fastboot version 2.0.1", seems to be any oem commands wont work???
Also i was just playing around with the encryption page and can get access to the phones settings so i turned on usb debugging, some of the stuff in settings does not seem to work correctly and it crashes occasional but i thought this info might be useful....?
