Confused and need help

I just got a captivate and i tried to put the phone in download mode to flash a new rom...no luck i tried the two and three button method...no luck. I also tried putting the phone in dl mode by using a command prompt...is there someone out there than can help a noob?

May need to give us some more specifics. I have only been able to get into download mode using the adb method. It may take you some time to get the drivers and everything communicating properly. Google and forum search are your friend.
1) Install the Android SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Not sure if it's required, but I also have the android adb driver installed.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
2) Install the Samsung USB driver. Usually found at the link below, but they took the downloads down for some reason. (Is Samsung about to release an update?)
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
3) Enable USB debugging on phone and plug it in.
4) Navigate to your ../android-sdk-windows/tools/ directory in a command prompt.
5) Type "adb devices" without quotes and press enter. Should see your device listed.
6) Type "adb reboot download" without quotes. Good to go.

Try this... turn your phone off... turn on ODIN in PC... while holding BOTH volume buttons plug in the USB... you should be in download mode

My suggestion is to wait. Do a couple checks before you BRICK your phone. Check this thread for info, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784147
There is a wave of phones out now that have 2 or 3 button modes disabled, broken, or something, but they don't work and have caused hard bricks. Most have had to return their phones.

when i try to search for sdk through the command prompt thats in windows it keep saying it not recognized as a internal or external command...now what?

If you are brave enough to try, then here.
Download the SDK from google. Once done, you can upzip it and buried in there is a folder called Tools. I usually take that folder and copy it to the root of my C: on my pc. So it's, C:\tools.
Plug in your phone, make sure USB debugging is on. Open a cmd windows and cd C:\tools
Now in your command window you should be able to use ADB. adb reboot recovery, adb reboot download, adb shell, etc.
Again, I would verify 100% that my button method for recovery and download work before you start modding. If you soft brick your phone, and your buttons don't work, you are screwed. If buttons work you can recover from a soft brick. I have soft bricked my phone numerous times, I have never been able to get ADB to work, I ALWAYS have to use the buttons to get into download mode.

Can I put the phone in recovery mode using clockworkmod? It doess have to be download mode NOT recovery mode right?

Recovery mode is for installing update.zip files and wiping user data. Download mode is for flashing roms using Odin.

Moved to Q&A as this is not a development question.

if you are rooted then you can do the latter.
Have you gotten ADB to work?

The latest OTA updates fixes the issue with 3 button combos
Once you install the update, reboot, then try to get into recovery or download modes. Should be fine after the update

i just got my phone back after cracking the screen but i still cant get adb to work and i cant install clockworkmod because it will not let me connect to the server

Need Help please [solved] !!!

I have Imilika's AOSP ICS ROM V6,
I changed the buid.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=213
for tablet mode. after I reboot, my GNote is not booting. I cannot go to recovery mode or download mode.
Please help. I don't know what to do

Got it
OK, I was really sad about what happens to my phone, but finally I managed to fix it .
As I told you, my phone was not booting to recovery or download modes (key combinations not worked). finally I try to connect to PC via USB and luckily my PC could detect my phone . So i realized that the problem is the display not coming but phone is halfway booted.
So, I tried to change my build.prop via adb but failed due to cannot grant root permission (becoz display is off).
Finally I issue a adb commad to reboot in recovery mode.
"adb reboot recovery"
yeah, that command directly take me to the CWM recovery. then I flash AOSP v6 again.
Now, my phone is working again.
P.S. I just note this down for others if they get same problem future !

I have question.. I don't understand the term adb. What that actually and why need that? I did so many flashing so far and I didn't use this adb yet!

If you don't know what ADB is, you probably shouldn't be flashing so regularly. Anyway, ADB stands for "Android Debug Bridge" and it is a protocol for device control, development, and debugging.

adb is a connection type. we can run shell commands (in the phone), file transfer via adb by using our PC. for that we should have to enable usb debug mode in our mobile.
Actually you might used adb, when you root your phone in the first place . If you have CF-Root zip file, just extract it. you will see a folder called "files", in there you can see adb.exe .
If you need test run,
connect phone via USB(make sure you've enabled USB debug), open command prompt, navigate to that "files" directory.
run "adb shell ls" (to run "ls" command in phone)
run "adb push <anyfile in the PC> /system/sdcard/" (copy files from PC to sdcard)
like that

OK now I got it.. But why do we need to push some file like this when we are able to transfer files like mass storage??? Or what else can be done??? Sorry for the basic questions..

Its functionality is not only to copy files from pc to mobile and vice versa.You can use it to get logs due to bad flashing,zip align apps,reboot into recovery,DL mode,normal reboot etc...

[Q] Device not found on ADB | TWRP Sideload and CWM mount problems

My friend has HTC One. He wiped all the data on SD including the ROM files and One is not booting right now. It's rooted and has Trickdroid's 4.2.2 based ROM.
We tried lots of things so far;
- Pushing files via ADB
Trying ADB, it says device not found, no matter we did we couldn't manage the pc to recognize the phone.
- Mounting SD via CWM
I have HOX, when I enter CWM I can see the option to mount the SD but on One there's no line like this.
- Activating Sideload on TWRP
We also flashed TWRP and tried to use Sideload feature but when we tried to activate it, it says something like "unable to mount .."
- Flashing the RUU
And lastly we tried to flash the RUU, we checked the CID and it says o2___001 and there's no RUU for it.
I just saw that One could be S-OFF and got Super-CID, but to do that again, I have to pull and push some files via ADB so we stuck here.
Could you plese help me on this?

Try cwm recovery it has sideload feature I was in a similar situation once before and it worked using cwm recovery
Also. If you want to try use adb again, try to plug in your device and then wait for few seconds before running a push command. It worth mentioning that once adb fail one time, it is not going to work again by repeating the same push command. Once it fails run this command: adb kill-server
This command will stop the previous failed process after killing the server then try to push again

We tried a different computer and solved the ADB problem, then I did just like you told and it's OK now.
Thank you.

You're welcome. glad it's all all OK for you

Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC One to your computer.
Considering you have adb.exe (Windows, part of fastboot.zip) or on Linux:
cd Downloads\ROM.zip
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to Downloads (or any other) folder, then install the ROM.
It should be nearly same running CWM recovery. Hope that helps.

Same problem as you --> fixed
I was able to recognize my device in device manager when using fastboot, but wasnt able to recognize the device as soon as I switched to recovery mode.
I found this universal driver which would recognize both: download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
(remove brackets from [.com] above)
I was now able to use adb sideload to transfer the .zip to my sd card and flash my new rom.
Hope this helps anyone else.

If you found that adb worked from a different machine, you might check whether you had any tethering drivers installed (eg EasyTether) on the machine that was not able to see the phone via adb. I found that they interfered with adb's operation on my Macbook previously; it was maddening.

if you have problems always use Hasoon All-In-One_Kit for HTC

Am having the same issues, have tried everything I can think off and everything google has suggested. I'm beyond stuck any and all help would be greatly appreciated

my bad exp
I don't know if that help anyone but I had the problem "device not found" when I was trying to side load with HTC AIO KIT.
I removed all my drivers for htc from the control panel and installed only the htc driver (binary100100.googlecode.[com]/files/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe). Then the adb started to work. (after the htc drivers install you need to restart your OS)
When I installed new ROM and reboot the device it showed me the screen with the developer's rom. I thought that I failed and flashed new rom then suddenly the new ROM after one minute started to work. So looks like that I should wait long enough for the first and may be it would also starts to work.

Was he by chance having issues charging his phone before he wiped it?
Myself and my brother both a had issues with the USB port going. Couldn't charge while phone was on. PC wouldn't pick it up so no adb. However was able to pickup fastboot and charge while in fastboot mode.
If that's the case you could try running a zip in oemRUU mode just to get an os on there.
Is he soff?

This worked for me. Thanks!!
Once I removed all the extra crap from control panel and used the latest I was able to do adb devices successfully from bootloader / recovery.

I was just having the same problem on the new LG G2 (D803). It was perplexing because the computer *bleeped* every time it attached so I knew that it saw something. Based on the tips here I went to the Device Manager and sure enough there it was... I reinstalled the drivers inside device manager and then I got an easy adb hit on the phone... hmmm :fingers-crossed:

This worked for my Nexus 4 and TWRP installed. Running the ADB sideload commad from TWRP did not, and just trying to push or sideload from command prompt on PC (Win 8) did not. I had drivers for Nexus 4 recognition installed previously from Nexus Root Toolkit which worked when the Nexus 4 was booted into system, but did not recognize it when wiped and/or in recovery mode. Loading these drivers the Nexus 4 was recognized in recovery mode, and I was able to push the ROM and install using TWRP.
Thanks much!

[Q] HELP! Wiped out all data, how to install a new ROM if:

Hey guys,
First of all I'd like to apoligize for my english skills and a thread if I've posted in a wrong one category.
However, I have REALLY serious problem right now and I'll try to explain. Today I decided to reset my phone (settings - back up & reset). This didin't help me as I was expected therefore I wiped out all the data by using TWRP(yes, I'm a noob). Thought that it will erase everything but the ROM. I tried to do a reboot and the phone did the htc quietly brilliant logo but got caught at the beats audio logo screen and never advanced.
Went into recovery and tried to do a factory reset, and a whole bunch of other things (tried to reboot system, but is says that no os installed). The phone still gets stuck at the same screen. Also, I am unable to get it to be accessible on my computer again. it says that installing new device but nothing happens, so I have no way how to get into sdcard and mount a new ROM or something. Is there any way how to fix it?? How to install a new ROM when USB not working and there's no way to take off SD card.....?

TWRP has an option to enable adb sideload. Then you can adb push rom.zip

Nothing happens, actually. All I can see is " Usage: adb sideload filename.zip, Updating partition details... Starting ADB sideload feature" and that's it. Waited for 5 min and still nothing..

You go into TWRP and enable sideload mode, it will do nothing but say sideload is being started. Then copy whatever ROM you want into the same folder as fastboot and adb. Open up a new command window and type "adb sideload rom.zip", obviously name your ROM "rom.zip" and click enter ... In the command window you should see a percentage figure start to increase as it pushes it to your phone. When it's completed just flash the ROM like normal in TWRP.

Another option is to just use an OTG cable and flash a ROM from a flash drive.

Hey mate,
I just got OTG cable, moved a new Rom into USB stick and tried to mount on TWRP. All I got was "E: Unable to mount '/usb-otg'. Maybe I've missed couple of steps before?
FIXED: All I had to do is to format an USB stick in FAT32. Everything went well and now I can use my phone once again. Thanks a lot for your help, hope it will help to others as well.

[Q] Htc one M7 softbricked and can't connect to a computer

FYI: I am not tech savy at all so bare with me if I sound like a noob/idiot.
I basically formatted my phone from TWRP and I'm thinking there isn't any ROM/UI/kernel?..ect. so it cannot start up (basically stuck on the htc loading screen). My computer detects it but not as a storage device and I can't seem to find a way to access it. I believe I have what i need on my computer but my issue is that i dont know how to get into the internal storage of my htc one because it cannot detect it as a storage device on my computer.
The only trace of it at all i seem to be able to find is in
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers
Its called "android 1.0" and when i click on it, it takes me to its properties from device manager.
It says Location: Port_#0001.Hub_#0008
I dont know if any of this info i gave is relevant, if not, let me know what ups.

Here is some reading material for you

Bro..I completely understand your predicament..
Just do this step by step
1. Download minimal adb from the internet and install it on your PC.
2. Download twrp image from the internet.this is a recovery loader.
3.copy the image file into the install directory of minimal adb.
4.execute the minimal adb shortcut from your PC.it should open a command prompt.
5.connect your device to the PC via usb.
6. Type this command to check if your device is recognized. "Fastboot devices"
It should show you a device ID..if your device is connected and recognized
7.flash tarp image with this command "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>"
8.reboot your device..press and hold volume down at the sametime to get into bootloader.
9.enter recovery.
10.Download any custom rom from htconeroot.com.it will be a zip file.
11. Copy the zip into minimal adb install directory and run this command to push the zip onto your device. "adb push <image file>.zip any name.zip"
12. After this completes you should be able to see this image in the filemanager in twrp.
13.move the zip file into sdcard directory.
14.make sure all options are checked in the mount in twrp
15.install the custom rom from install option in tarp.
This is 3 frantic days of research on the internet bro..
I had a brick in my hand too..got it up and running VIPERONE ROM
Hope you get through this fine

Thank you, i really appreciate the effort! but im stuck on step 6/7. When i typed in fastboot devices, it didn't show any new id. and when i typed fastboot flash recovery twrp.img it says "waiting on device" so im guessing it still didnt detect it. any idea on why this might be happening? thanks

Ok..try this..
Press down on the power and volume down button to enter the default boot loader.
If you hv rooted your phone..it should be showing tampered at the top.
select the fast boot option..
Now connect your phone via usb..
The display name should change to "fastboot usb"
Then again open minimal adb and continue from step 6.
Make sure you have all the htc drivers for Windows installed on your PC.
Windows can automatically download these drivers for you if you don't have them..
All the best

Are you using Windows 8.1?

everything works now, thank you guys. You are all awesome!
