[Q] Fastboot.

Tried to install Cyanogen 6.1... It failed.
From there the device booted up normally on a fresh start, but I tried to recover my backup and that is where everything got all messed up.
Im stuck on the G1 screen.
Ive gotten it to the fastboot mode and Im downloading what I think I need to get my phone working again. Ive downloaded the Andriod 1.6 image from the HTC website. Do I need the recovery? I just want 1.6 until I have time to try and get Cyanogen installed.
Im currently installing JDK for the Andriod SDK.
Am I headed in the right direction?
I was using ROM Manager with Clockwork Mod. My old ROM was Super E... Not sure what version, but it was Andriod 2.1

What radio/spl do u have?

And spl? Do u have and eng spl? (S-off). If so u could fastboot erase your system and try to flash the rom through recovery. And fastboot flash a recovery of your choice first. Have u tried going on ezterry's thread with the new radio/spl and going that route?

Not sure what the version of the SPL is, but I know it is off. I'll check his thread out and give it a try. I might end up finding someone who actually knows what they are doing, or buying the Nexus S.

Ok. If u follow his thread exactly and fastboot flash the radio/recovery/spl u should end up with everything as described in the thread and be able to move on with cm6 with appropriate kernel. Alternatively u could boot into fastboot and open up your terminal on your computer and type in code to fastboot recovery of your choice (after it's download and put in sdk/tools folder on your PC) he has amonra link in his thread for download . Then type fastboot erase system -w (hit enter). When it's done type fastboot erase boot (hit enter). Then power down. Power back into recovery with the rom on your sdcard and flash away.

That is actually what I'm trying to do. Its just about my only option at this point.
Im having problems getting everything set up correctly though.

What are u having problems setting up?

I installed Andriod SDK, seems to be working.
Downloaded the drivers, which seems to have stopped my computer from seeing the phone.
I downloaded the Fastboot.exe, tried to run it but it cannot find ADB.dll ( Pretty sure thats what it was.)
I was basically following the steps on the cyanogen wiki.
When I have some time, I will try the Fastboot for noobs guide.

I think I followed a guide in androiddevelopers.com or something like that. If I find it again ill post a link. I don't think I ran a fastboot exe file though. Just have it in my androidsdk/tools folder. Added the variable to my paths and was good to go. Not at my PC currently though.
Edit: developer.android.com/sdk/
I believe is what I followed

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Following this for fastboot.
I cannot update anything. Home + power doesnt do anything.
Only thing I can access is fastboot mode.
Fortunately my radio is up to date, so I assume my SPL is as well.
Going to attempt to try the fastboot step, once I can get the SDK working correctly
edit: I knew if I spent enough time working at it that I'd get it working.
Only problem now is getting my device to be listed.
Edit2: at first when I entered fastboot mode, I would get the "Add new hardware" for the device "Andriod 1.0"
It now says "andriod bootloader interface"
I feel like I'm so close. I'm going to keep playing with it, but what can I do to get my device listed when I type the command "Fastboot devices"?
Edit 3: Awesome. I got fastboot to work and my phone is recognized. Only problem now is getting my SD card reader to work so I can put the proper files on
Final edit: MY phone is killing SD cards for some reason. Don't know what to do
Got the SD cards to work, for some reason though, some of the commands are not working. When I type fastboot shell, I just get the usage doc.
When I do fastboot update, I get the following: error: failed to load 'update.zip'

What are u trying to do in fastboot?

Well, I fixed my phone. Back to its original state.
I guess my only question at this point my only question is if I switch to Cyanogen 6.1, will it be less buggy than my Super E ROM?
For anyone wondering, Holding home + end for about 25 seconds is what I did. From there I just went to nandriod and tried to recover the same backup that gave me the problem.

I would say no. It will not be less buggy. U can always flash and try different roms though for experiment sake. Glad u got it back up

Rooting Problem

Hello today I attempted something that I thought was going to be a quick video tutorial fix. I tried Rooting my HTC one. I followed several guides and read many posts I easily managed to unlock my phone. The problem started when trying to flash the recovery onto my phone, first I tried through commands: fastboot flash recovery and I received the error (FAILED data transfer failure unknown error) I've searched for 7 hours looking for a fix. Since I cant root reverting back to a fresh install is impossible, I cant find a RUU for telus, (I live in canada). I just don't know what to do, when I try to flash anything my bootloader freeze, drivers are up to date, tried restarting computer. Used One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 doesn't work. This is a nightmare come save me before I jump off a cliff.
EDIT: What I did from beginning was followed this video "How to Root the HTC One-FlamingArio"to the point where you try and flash the recovery fastboot. That didnt work so after trying to fix that I tried How To Root HTC One & Unlock Bootloader - Easiest & User Friendly- The smoking Android ( super boot a 1 click install) that made my bootloader screen turn to tampered. after that I tried One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.
Note in all in one kit I did erase cache and standard recovery works fine, I've re-installed it may times.
Cant post links yet but I gave video names.
EDIT: when I do the cmd fastboot devices my device shows up when I do adb devices nothing shows up could this be part of the problem?
Thank you all for your help, I re-installed all the programs on my laptop and redid all the steps and it worked. Bye!

Try this in ABD fastboot erase cache then flash the recovery again i hope this helps:fingers-crossed:

What did you do from the beginning? Could you post a step by step traceback of what got you to this point? Let's see if you missed any steps

Keep an eye on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302870
Many people are looking for the Telus RUU.
Can you still access standard recovery? If so try reverting to factory settings (all data will be lost) and try to boot.
If you can get it to boot you should have more luck in trying to root your device.
I know that I had some issue's trying to get root on my device. But once I got S-off with revone, I was able to install root no problem.

Nice to see you sorted it

Assuming you have actually flashed a recovery image to your device, you will then need to push a ROM to your sd card so that you can flash it in recovery.
Just do the following:
1. I am guessing you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC.
2. Download the attached adb.zip and unzip it to a folder on your C drive and call the folder whatever you like.
3. Boot your device into recovery and plug it in to a powered USB port on your PC.
4. Navigate to the folder that you just created on your PC and copy your ROM zip into it. rename the ROM zip to 'rom.zip' to make life easy.
5. Inside the folder, press and hold the shift key and right click in a blank part of the window and select 'Open command window here' (screenshot attached).
6. Type 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard' (don't use the quote marks)
7. Press 'enter'
8. Once the zip has finished being pushed to your sdcard, you can reboot into recovery and then flash it as normal.
EDIT: That will teach me not to read to the very end of a post. I'll leave this here for someone else.

[Q] Emergency! NEED HELP IMEDIATELY!!

Ok so how do I start this? Well I got an htc one for christmas and I wanted to root it. Everything was fine until I decided to flash a custom kit kat rom. The rom was stuck in a boot loop so I went back to twrp and flashed my recovery. I thought I fixed everything but then I stopped getting phone service. It kept saying looking for service. I thought it was a bad recovery so I downloaded cm from rom manager. While it was downloading, the phone just randomly rebooted. It kept doing this and still is.so then, being the idiot I am, flashed clockwork recovery to see if it would change anything. I tried downloading cm from rom manager again and finally finished downloading before it started rebooting again. I went into clockwork recovery and flashed cm and now it keeps rebooting and I have no phone service. I have no idea what to do. By switching from twrp to clockwork, I lost my recovery. Im totally screwed. I need help please!What do I do!!!!????

Run an RUU to fix and only flash roms that are made for Sprint or have Sprint support.
Sounds like you flashed a GSM rom that's why everything is jacked up.

You *have* to get your Android SDK setup properly. All the commands your run end up on "command not found" of "invalid exe" and that suggests a few things:
First -- make *sure* you install the correct SDK for your computer. If you can't find them, let us know what your computer is (32-bit, 64-bit, windows, etc.). Further, it seem possible:
1) You did not yet install the Android SDK (or ADT bundle if that's what you grab);
2) If just the SDK, you did not run the 'android' app and let it update all the platform-tools apps (that's adb, fastboot, etc);
3) You did not open a command shell in the <sdk>/platform-tools directory, or you did not add your <sdk>/tools and <sdk>/platform-tools to your path. Further:
Finally -- make sure you have your USB drivers loaded if you're using Windows.
Don't run 300 miles per hour trying to fix things -- it'll kill your phone. Relax, take a breath and get the SDK setup. That will solve most of your problems (if not all). At least that's what it looks like from afar.
Before you run any of the RUU, you should be able to type either of:
adb devices
or
fastboot devices
The latter works only when you are at the bootloader with your USB plugged in and you selected 'fastboot'; the former runs only when your phone is booted fully.

The Sprint 3.05.651.5 RUU is available here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-sprint/news/ (Install at your own risk!)

[Q] Can't get recovery to flash

I recently tried to install a ROM on my HTC one and it seems to have soft bricked my device. I don't seem to have a recovery anymore so I tried to flash TWRP using fastboot. But everytime I try the command flash recovery, I get an error that says cannot open recovery.img. I have searched and found a few tutorials and i seem to be doing everything right but the recovery wont flash. Any help? My phone will not boot at all. Fastboot works but thats about it. When i click reboot it just goes blank then goes to the exact same screen. When I click on recovery it does the exact same thing.

Is recovery in the same folder you open the terminal in? If so make sure to type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Yeah. Its in the same folder. It gives me an error every time. I can't figure out why it doesn't work.

Did you happen to use the CM Installer to unlock,root, ect?
If you did you won't be able to flash any other roms or recoveries without running an RUU.

what recovery are you tring to install
if it's for sprint it should be: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
the recovery img should be in your fastboot folder
you phone in bootloader fastboot usb.

hmmmm... fastboot folder? This person needs a bit more than that, seemingly.
So, first, there is some folder (directory) in which your "fastboot" program exists -- let's call that "FastbootDir" for this discussion. Do this:
1) Download the latest TWRP (2.7.0.x), you can use mine, or the standard release, your choice: my build (with enhancements) or the standard;
2) copy that file *exactly* as it is (quit the renaming game -- fastboot does not need that -- it could care less what the file name is) to your *FastbootDir* folder;
3) Open your file explorer and browse to that same directory (your FastbootDir folder);
4) Right click in the file area and open a command terminal *as administrator*;
5) now type this in the command window:
dir openrecovery*.img
If that says "file not found" or similar -- you either failed to copy the downloaded file to that directory, or, well, you renamed it (don't do that!);
If it tells you file name, *that* is the exact file name you must enter into the flash command. Let's say you chose my build, which will say "openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.2-03-13-2014.img" -- then to flash that you will type:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.2-03-13-2014.img
If on the other hand you chose the standard build from TeamWin:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m7wls.img
That should do it. Report back if you have troubles.

I finally got it flashed. Thanks for all the help. I am a newb with HTC devices. I installed the ROM that I had on the device but now it won't boot up. All i get is a white HTC screen and "process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding". I have wiped several times and tried to install 2 different roms but i never get past the HTC screen. I can get to the lock screen but as soon as I unlock it the phone just reboots and I get stuck again. Any suggestions?

Suggest you flash a such rooted ROM just to start at a place of sanity.

Did you check all of your md5, and using your exact ROM? Are you m7spr or m7wls?

M7 wls. In not sure how to check the md5 sum. I was already on the bad boys rom so I know the rom was a good download. It just won't get past the htc screen.

Sounds like you flashed a GSM rom at one point and messed up your partitions.
I would suggest running an RUU and starting fresh.

If he tried to flash ANYTHING gsm you pretty much have to RUU... Are you trying to go GSM or stay CDMA? I would suggest viper ROM flashing in twrp 2.7.0 just to see what that does and if you can get past screen

I had to ruu back because no Rom would boot. I tried different roms but they all would get to a blank HTC screen. I could unlock the phone but the HTC screen would be there. The the HTC dialer would force close a few times then the phone would reboot. That happened on 2 different roms. Bad boys and on viper Rom. But thanks to everyone for the help.?

Don't respond there -- that's a dev thread, but honestly it's pretty easy. My suspect is you don't have the SDK (fastboot, adb, etc. properly setup). The fastboot program needs to be on your PATH, or you need to open a command window ***as administrator*** and make sure you are in the directory in which fastboot exists (e.g., type "dir fastboot*.*") and if it doesn't come back with something, you're not in the correct directory.

deleted, wrong thread.

QUOTE=nossman;55476580]Thank you! I have just installed brand new ADB tools etc. rebooted . . .[/QUOTE]
First -- could you *please* go delete the post you laid down in my TWRP development thread -- I specifically asked you *not* to do that. Dev threads are not support or Q&A threads and that post takes up a bunch of space totally unnecessarily. Sigh ...
Second -- if the command fails like that it means you have the wrong path to the file you downloaded. Do a file search for openrecovery*.* starting in C:\ and use the path it finds.

Need help unbrick (willing to pay if needed)

I have a VS980:
I rooted and installed twrp recovery.
I triedto install pac_vs980-dev-20140731
I copied it to root of my phone along with the gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip.
I made a backup of everything on the phone, Then did a full wipe of everything.
I installed the two zips, and it says sucessful. Then goes into a boot loop!
I tried to recover the the backup and it is not found!
IDK what to do it is my girlfriends phone and she is absolutly ripped **** with me. I need serious help to fix this I have no idea what went wrong or how to fix it please help willing to make a paypal payment to anyone who can actually fix this. I was trying a new rom but adb sideload won't load either!
I keep seeing people saying that some commands work for them but when I am in twrp and click advanced and terminal command it loads up what looks like a file browser and I am lost. I seriously need to fix .
I tried the following:
from the TWRP terminal command was to type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.

No this phone doesn't have an SD Card, and the computer isn't seeing the phone at all while plugged in.
I ended up downloading the LG Flash tool and the stock KDZ file it took seconds and completely fixed the phone,
Just had to boot the phone into download mode (Press Volume Up and insert USB cord while phone is off)
and uploaded the KDZ file and all is new, still rooted, but other then that everything is back to full stock.
I don't understand why people don't just make KDZ files for the custom roms! It's much easier!

I know, I meant "mount as USB drive" option in twrp.
They probably need to digitally sign it for a kdz to work , so I don't think they can just "make" a kdz

Have you tried to go back into twrp and wiped the dalvick again. Then tried to reboot.

If all else fails, use the Return To Stock Guide in the general section. What version of Android did you have on the phone before you flashed this? You need to make sure the rom matches the baseband you're using.
