I can't check if cellphone is in Debugging mode or not because when i turn on the cellphone i see HTC logo and then nothing happens. cell phone is stuck on HTC Logo
Use latest HTC drivers and don't forget to remove HTC Sync if installed. Also try another usb port and another usb cable.
I have installed latest drivers through HTC Sync then UNinstall HTC Sync software
Use 2 different Data cables. Tried different USB ports but every time i attach HTC Incredible S computer can't find any Android Device in device manager. On the other hand when i attach HTC sensation Device manager recognise the android device.
if i cant solve this problem then my guess is that every time i try to run RUU i will get Error 170 so please help me out guy ....

Can you still get to the HBOOT menu? If so, does the device show up if you select the FASTBOOT option on the HBOOT screen?
It should change the screen to FASTBOOT USB mode.

What happns if you select FASTBOOT from that same menu? It should change to FASTBOOT USB and then check Device Manager again.
If so, yes I would go ahead and try running the RUU again.
i did select FastBoot and it changes into FastBoot USB
and then i run RUU RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.11.405.2_Radio_20.4805.30.0822U_3822.01.08.14_M_release_252414_signed_4

Well you could put it into HBOOT USB mode and try running the RUU again and see if there is any difference.
when i go for HBOOT USB mode i get
ERROR [120]: MAIN BATTERY POWER
This error message will appear when the Android phone’s battery power is not sufficient (Batter power should be more than 30%). Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it will still need to make sure that your Android phone has enough power to complete the update. (The Android phone cannot charge the battery when it is connected to the PC while installing the RUU).

can i use this method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21046189&postcount=2
Can some one please provide me ROM.zip file only ?
The method is worth a shot.. the Rom.zip file will be here when u are running the RUU.. just copy/paste it on desktop in the process
c:/your user name/appdata/local/temp and search rom.zip

I had something like that before when I tried to go back to stock. Basically I flashed the RUU, got rid of cwm recovery and all that, and I ended up getting stuck on the HTC logo white screen, with it refusing to boot.
I ended up going back to cwmr and a custom ROM.
So maybe the best way for you to be able to use your phone would be to go and put a custom ROM on it. However mine was S-OFF so it was easy for me to flash recovery again, I've forgotten how to go S-OFF from S-ON but you should be able to do it without booting.
However I would also know how to go back to stock.
Yea you can use PG32IMG.ZIP method.
If still not , Unlock your bootloader and install a custom rom.
I will use this method once i get back home
run the ruu again in pc.. and extract the rom.zip from temp folder in pc.. it will be in c drive-your user name-appdata-local-temp and search rom.zip.. rename it to PG32IMG.ZIP make sure its not PG32IMG.ZIP.ZIP

Hi
greetings,
uninstall the drivers completely.
download htc sync manager from official htc site and install it and try againg
Hi all,
I can't get my phone recognised when it's in fastboot mode. I tried all the drivers i found (my PC runs W8.1), with or without HTC Sync installed, with different adb and fastboot aplications but still nothing. Also I noticed that when I connect my phone to the PC in fastboot mode it in the beginning shows "FASTBOOT" and then, if I go up/down, it starts showing "FASTBOOT USB".
I don't know how to fix this. Can someone help me please?
Thank you all very much!
Which version of Win are you running?
And, if you open the device manager how is recognized the phone?
Fastboot usb is normal, try using win 7 instead of win 8, I had the same problem

I guess I'll paste my answer from the last post asking the same question
You'll need another PC to make it work.
The only for sure way to get fastboot working on windows 8.1 is to update your hboot to 1.55.000 and up or the hboot 1.54.000 from the GPE from the Android 4.4 update. Once your on these hboot fastboot and adb work fine in windows 8.1 x86 or x64.
the dark bootloader files here are all updated to the newer version hboot

You need S-off for these to work

Hi, my PC runs Windows 8.1 32bit. If my phone is normally on, my PC recognizes it as "Android Devices", My HTC or something similar. If my phone is in the bootloader my device manager recognised it as unknown USB device, with error 43.

So you're saying I need to upload my HBoot to 1.55 and then it will work? The problem is that I can't get my One S-Off if my PC doesn't recognize it when in fastboot mode, so I guess I can't upload the HBoot yet.

ADB Works but Fastboot does not...
So tonight I decided to venture into the idea of pushing the GPE on to my HTC One. I unlocked the bootloader and got S-Off (The 2 prerequisites for the conversion). I loaded TWRP for the recovery mod and rooted it by installing SuperUser. Then came time to push the GPE RUU over to the phone using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
Before I pushed the ROM my bootloader screen looked like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7jodkxh8gq7epy/2014-04-22 21.07.51.jpg
When I was pushing it, everything stalled, and it disconnected from the computer. I now no longer have any access to the Fastboot, my computer is saying that the usb device is not recognized by my computer and my bootloader screen now looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0zap1jiykeqrd9a/2014-04-23 00.00.06.jpg
If I boot into Android, it boots up in the stock AT&T version and I still have ADB control over USB. I run the prompt [ADB reboot bootloader] and it does what it is supposed to, boots it up to the bootloader, but again it is the broken version that I have no access to fastboot with.
I can still load up TWRP and run anything in there that I need. I have tried clearing all caches and doing factory resets with no success. I am at a loss and everything I am finding online is telling me that it is a driver issue or windows 8.1 issue, but if that were the case, then why would I have had Fastbook access before attempting to push the GPE ROM?
Any help here would be amazing. The phone still works as a phone which is a plus, but I would really like to be able to either successfully load the Google Play Edition on it or get everything back to stock for warranty reasons. Thanks so much for your help in advance!! I look forward to trying some new solutions soon!

It's because you're original hboot was 1.55 which works with Win 8.1, but after the first flash hboot got downgraded and therefore "broke" for Win8.1.
Use a Windows 7 PC to complete the conversion, or if you don't have access to one, you can make an Ubuntu Live USB (you can check in my guide under the FAQs how to do that).
and do not ever go S-On again!!!!
@nkk71 Is there any way to get the hboot back to 1.55? I did get it working last night by accident. I used my wife's Win7 computer just to try a different USB port, didn't know why it fixed it but just went with it hoping to understand it later. I would however love to get my phone back to a state that I don't feel like it is broken when I load the bootloader.
Thanks for the response though. Glad I at least understand what happened to it.

Maybe you just have driver problems. If you just want to unroot it's pretty simple supersu has an option for that

Install HTC sync. download android sdk. in platform tools folder run run your fast boot commands. If your computer can read the phone when booted to android I dont see how the port could be broken. If not you're SOL

Yes, I have a custom recovery installed, I need to get rid of the red text on the screen when it boots.
I got my windows vista lap top going again and installed sdk and HTC sync but I can't get my phone to show up in device manager so when I try to do a command in adb it says no device detected or something.
I'm losing my mind trying to get one of my computers to be able to fastboot, with my windows 8 I'm able to use adb and make commands to the phone but I can not get it to see the phone when I'm in the bootloader to fastboot.

Hello,
I tried installing Android Revolution HD. Whenever I booted my phone, it kept getting stuck at the splash screen (Google [with the unlocked hanglock]). So after a quick Google, I read that this could be fixed by flashing the firmware found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823.
I followed the instructions and when I reached the following step:
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete.

an error appeared on my computer's command prompt and my phone rebooted.
When I now boot my phone, I get a weird warning by HTC on the Google splash screen:
This build is for development purpose only. Do not distribute outside HTC without HTC`s permission
failure to comply may lead to legal action.

Is your phone s off or s on? What firmware did you flash?
You need to update your drivers then. Re download the HTC drivers and try again. Use a different cable if you have one and ensure usb 2.0 ports, also are you Windows 8.1?

Thanks for your fast reply,
- My phone was S-OFF (I don't know whether the flashing of the firmware can change this?)
- I flashed the following zip: 2.17.401.1-custom.zip, downloaded from the Android Revolution HD blogspot.
- I'll try to re-download the HTC drivers, but it would surprise me if this solved the problem, because it worked like 2 hours ago (before I flashed the firmware).
- I used a USB 3.0 port and Windows 8.1, however, I also tried on a Windows 7 computer with a USB 2.0 port, but still, no success.

I just booted from Ubuntu USB and fastboot worked like a charm there. So it's okay now, thanks everyone!
Hello.I am in some kind of a trouble..I just bought a phone with firmware problems,hoping i could make it work.The problem is this,someone tried to update the firmware,unsuccesfully,and now it's stuck with no OS.I can only start recovery and bootloader.
Recovery is Teamwin 2.6.3.3.Already tried to clear cache and everything,to use an USB with OTG,but it's not recognised,ADB sideload also it's not working.
adb devices shows the phone is not connected,and FastBoot says "Waiting for device".Any idea? I've tried,read a lot,but I can't really work it out..
Also,I can't find the device in Device Manager,neither in ADB nor Fastboot.
I tried using Windows 8.1 and 7..Same deal.
Thank you!

First, follow instructions given in this post to install the latest android sdk-tools and the latest htc drivers. Also make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your computer.
Then connect your phone to you computer with the original cable (or any other cable already known to work for data transfer - some usb cable are only providing power), reboot the phone in bootloader mode by holding vol down and power. Make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption on the screen, if not use vol up/down and power to select the "fastboot" menu. Once there open a command window form the android sdk-tools folder and type "fastboot getvar all". Copy/paste the ouput of this command here (except the imei and serialno).
I've followed that,and still not working.pics attached.
It's very weird,because I was expecting for a soundfrom the Windows,like a new device connected .But ..nothing

With your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, go to your windows device manager, take a screenshot of your device manager and post it here please.
The unknown device is related to my laptop.Nothing happens when I connect the phone.

Ok so its not detected at all
Might be caused by
a bad usb cable --> Try another one that you are 100% sure its working
a bad usb port on the computer (use only usb 2.0 ports btw)
a problem with the computer ---> Try another computer.
a bad usb port on the phone ---> need to replace the usb/front mic board
Might also worth to fix your laptop drivers problem. Might be causing problem if the "unknown" device is an adapter or usb controller...
Then reboot the computer.
I think we can exclude the first two,because I've tried 2 different USB cables,and with my S2 ,both of them are working,even ADB.I will try to replace the usb port from the phone,and then try again.But,do you think it will work ?
Thank you!

Its hard to tell, there isn't any background info about what was done on that phone. The usb board is pretty cheap so it worth a try if you are 100% sure everything else is fine (computer, cables etc..)
I understand,but,I mean,as far as I know,it's not hard brick,because the phone is still booting..in some way ..so if I manage to connect it,I can flash the rom..am I right?

Normally it should be pretty easy to fix if you can get fastboot and adb connectivity. You could then update the firmware so you can flash the correct RUU to restore the phone back to stock, already made the research and all the files (firmware and ruu) you'll need are available.

Sorry for the late reply,the phone is now in service,in 1-2 days they should fix the USB board,and I will get back with more info soon.
Thank you very much for your quick answers and for taking time to help me!
Good news,I've managed to unbrick it.I asked a friend with a Mac to check it out,and his Mac recognized with no problems.Installed the Os,but still,Windows can't detect it.I've tried on 2 pc's(7 and 10) with the proper drivers.Weird..
Anyway,thank you for your time @alray !
