Htc Wont bring up recovery mode - HTC Desire C

Okay i have waited about 2 weeks and scoured the ends of the internet, and maybe i missed something along my search if i did please let me know what post i missed. i would really love to figure this out. So i wanted to root my Cricket paygo desire c, i am not new to rooting (new to rooting htc though) i have rooted about every android device i have ever owned. i had downloaded HTC Desire C All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013] [PERM ROOT]
if you havent already pls read the directions on this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004198&highlight=all+in+one
Unlocked the boot-loader got all the way through clicked on install CWM it said it had done it. i clicked on the button to push SU through to the phone. went to go to the recovery screen to install su and red lettering appeared. i let it sit like that for about 2 hours trying to be hopeful about it going into recovery. i am too new to post in the all in one toolkit forum and every time i try to message the author it says there was an error. my phone still goes into boot-loader and still boots up just fine but i don't have full root access. so any help would be appreciated. greatly.

no shame self

I can't remember the last time i saw the dev of that tool on this forum .
Personally i would ditch the tool and do it all manually .
Follow the directions here how to
I do know CWM has been updated Post 42 but I personally prefer to use TWRP TWRP especially since it has official backing by the TWRP team (thanks to Nikhil for both updated cwm and all the twrp work )
All I can say is follow the guide above and see how it goes for you .
Post back if you bump into any other issues and if I can't help I'll email one of the knowledgeable guys to come look at the thread
(there is an issue with usb ports. some find using the rear usb works better and most find usb2 works and usb3 doesn't , just as a heads up )
all the best rich

isn't cricket cdma?
not sure... as far as i know the toolkit doesn't work with cdma anyway

Yes i believe it is CDMA.

this is strange as i have a cdma desire c and mine rooted fine :L all customs roms have installed no hitch
it might be becasue i have a old gsm sim card? i dunno :L

I have the exact same problem ended up bricking my one desire trying to figure it out now im not even bothering trying to do anything with my new desire great thing is I can still go to my bootloader for the bricked cdma but thats it I need to find a way to take my image from my new phone and flash it with adb to bring that phone back alive

i have ran across and tried this method too i run the . bat and it opens up recovery mode and sticks on the white htc screen with red lettering again.. i am starting to feel that this phone isnt even worth the brain power lol.

It IS because the cricket phone is cdma, I did the exact same thing and am just as frustrated because I have also rooted and moved every android I've owned, this issue just never crossed my mind. What we need is custom recovery for the cdma version. If you come across it please post it here, I'll do the same. Thanks

[Q] RESOLVED!!! Help with rooting ICS

My apologies if someone has already posted this, but i couldn'f find a post that was able to help me.
I had my HTC vivid rooted before updating to ics.
I relocked the bootloader and updated using the ruu.
After the update i unlocked the bootloader and needed some help rooting again.
I tired using the vivid all in one kit(thinking that would be the fastest) from the forum but that just made my phone freeze on the white htc screen.
i just "reinstalled" ics because that was the only way to get my phone to work again (phone works fine now)
So the question- How do i properly root my phone running ics
Someone correct if wrong. I dont think that tool will be compatible with ics. I to have updated to ics and I havent seen a post yet for an easy way to root or re root after upgrading to ics. I hope someone can find a flaw and bring back the one click root, like way back on the incredible with unrevoked.com. plug n click your phone boom all automated.

He also provides awesome roms. Just read everything before you do anything!
uh? i dont see the vivid on his site? unless im missing something... whatever happened to just using cwm
You have to register first for the Vivid section to show up.
just got cwm on the phone hope this is helpful to someone else
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img (got mine from the vivid all in one)
do the same you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
obviously files have to be in the correct area mine are all under c:\
hopefully that helps someone

It is basically the same idea but it is called touch recovery. It also works with gb and ics. Just like poster above said, you have to register to see the vivid section. Just read everything on the process and you will have recovery in no time!

now that i have cwm, how do i root my phone?

I think it installs root when you install the recovery. You should see superuser when you boot back up after installation.
No go, no superuser and no root either. tried using titan backup as a tester it says i dont have permissions
I guess I had perm root. Did you look in the dev section and try the root file there?
It's in the superguide.

Glad I could help you! Just be careful with updating apps from tb. Try to avoid bringing data from gb to ics because it can cause problems. I would just install apps, you can try apps + data but sometimes it messes with things.
RESOLVED!!!!!
here's how i re-rooted my phone after ics ruu update
Unlock the bootloader following htcdev
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img got mine from the vivid all in one tool (located inside the data folder, im sure you can find the file on this forum but i happened to have the all in one tool)
do the same steps you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing in cmd "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
that will get cwm onto your phone
Next follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
skip down to step 2
follow the steps but IGNORE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PH39IMG.ZIP
just boot into recovery with cwm and install from external sd the vivid_cwm_root ver.2
and voila fin!
this is probably not the most efficient way to do this but this is how i did it
hopefully this is helpful to someone

[Q] Still able to Root?

Can the Hasoon2000 kit still root the HTC Vivid(4.0.3)? I have found no answer to this as that is why am asking.

Would you happen to know about how long it takes to script? I'm just woundering because I hate the new update and would like to root(s-off) and then flash a rom. I liked sense but want vanilla-android. Thanks again for your helpful post. I'm not asking if you know an ETA or anything like that, just from your experience.

Really don't know that info, however if you want to get root but don't want to wait there are other ways to do it. Let me know if you are interested and I will post them up. Consider though it will take longer than it would using the toolkit.
megatronisabeast
I'll try pretty much anything. I've rooted several devices, so findind a new way for another one won't hurt. Only thing that I really would like to do is avoid making a gold card, but if you have to do that I think I will wait for the toolkit. Thanks!! Do you know if it's possible to temp root, flash a kernal with cwm, and then flash a rom?
Here is what you need to do to root your phone, etc.
First thing is to download android sdk:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It will allow you to send files to your phone from your computer-no s-off so can't flash kernel in recovery only fastboot.
While that is downloading if you haven't already you need to unlock boot loader by going to:
http://htcdev.com/
Don't forget to keep the unlock code so if you need to relock your boot loader.
Next, it sounds like you want to flash a custom rom. If so the best one in my opinion is found here:
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
You have to register to see the vivid section.
Once there you will download the zip file, put a copy on your phone, the other copy unzip and place the boot.img and wcx recovery in the same folder that you have the fast boot file that you downloaded earlier from sdk.
Then you put your phone into hboot mode, plug it in to usb port, make sure on phone screen is says fast boot usb in red.
Then open command prompt in your folder with fast boot by clicking shift and the right mouse button.
Type in these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img
After those steps power down phone, unplug from computer, return to hboot, click on recovery, then flash the zip file that you placed on there earlier.
That's it, you got it root and all.
Also if you do use his rom, restart phone 3 times to settle phone in and cycle battery 3 times to make sure everything is working correctly.
Here is a video if you feel overwhelmed to help guide you brought to you by randong!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be
Hope this has helped you!
You can use wild child's recovery to perm root ics check it site for the video if you need proof

We just need S-OFF so we can simplify this entire thing by using CWM. It's so much easier being able to flash a scripted .zip package in there than dealing with fast boot.

True, I just wish I knew how long "scripting" takes. I know the video is very clear, and that I'm very good with technology, however I do think that there is a good chance I might mess up...thus I believe I will wait, but I will do some more research be4 deciding what to do

I've never done it myself but it shouldn't be that difficult. I think I'm just spoiled coming from the Inspire - it was rooted, S-OFF'd, and had a few custom ROMs up the within a couple days of its launch. The level of development for that device was extreme from the very beginning.
Sent from my HTC Vivid
True, I still have an Inspire and the development is still booming. I personally just wish HTC would have made the Vivid as dependable as the Inspire, bc my Vivid has all sorts of problems. Turns off randomly, and each time when it turns back on it says "upgrading android" and then it optimizes the apps for ICS. Most of the time it won't flip my pictures(rotate)<--yes auto rotate is on...but all in all HTC went down in quality with the Vivid. Personally this is why I want to root, that way I don't have to worry with HTC screwing up the update.
it does work but i have found that busybox isnt installed/installed correctly and have had to install it from the market for titanium backup to recognize my root.
A reply to numerous posts...you don't need S-OFF on the Vivid, developers have yet to figure out how to do so. It's rumored some users have received their phones shipped with S-OFF, but to my knowledge it's not because of any modifications.
Follow this thread to accomplish everything Hassons2000 tool is trying to do for the Vivid. I didn't work for me either.

Having S-OFF let's you flash a kernel through recovery. It simplifies the flashing process and makes developing ROM packages easier for the user.

HTC One Bricked?

Ok so I recently rooted my HTC One and I think I might've bricked my phone. I tried out the Renovate ROM (I think it was the latest version) and it didn't work somehow, and my phone was stuck in boot, so I went into recovery, and factory reset but I accidently checked the button for system and then my OS was deleted. To fix that, I adb pushed Insert Coin ROM and flashed that, but when I booted my phone, it started up fine, but then after 10 seconds or so, the phone would just freeze and then reboot. I went back into recovery adb pushed the stock Sprint HTC One ROM and flashed that and the same thing is happening, but this time, when the phone turns on, it just shows a black screen with the notification bar at the top, and I can't use it in any way. It also freezes and reboots after like 10 second.
TL: DR
My Sprint HTC One keeps on freezing then rebooting after ten seconds, no matter what ROM I try.
Thanks in advance.

You need to follow the dev instructions. If I were you though, I wouldn't do anything more until you understand some of the risks involved. A phone is a really, really inconvenient thing to have incapacitated when you're learning how to flash. For one, your device wasn't bricked (completely nonresponsive to input); for another, dev instructions are going to tell you to use fastboot (or a toolkit that runs fastboot for you).
Before you start again, you should learn how to use fastboot at the very least, and if you can, adb install/sideload (although it seems you tried that based on the OP). fastboot is often the only thing working if a flash goes awry.
A ROM is a ROM, no matter what device it's for. GSM/CDMA are separate network technologies that power your phone. In the U.S., Sprint and Verizon are the major CDMA carriers, while AT&T, T-Mobile, and essentially the rest of the world use GSM. The easiest way to tell the difference between the two is to remember if you needed a SIM card to activate the phone or not.
However, GSM and CDMA devices are set up differently on the software (and hardware, in terms of radios) side, and if you flash a ROM built for a GSM phone onto a CDMA equivalent, you'll probably break the device. For all intents and purposes, you should consider GSM phones to be wholly distinct devices. Also make sure you're only flashing ROMs built for Sprint, as there are often differences between Sprint and Verizon phones as well.

Thank you for all your information I really do appreciate it. I believe I understand fastboot alot better than when I started. I am starting to understand what I did wrong. I just have a few questions and I think I will be fine to just flash ROMs which is all I really want to do.
1. does it matter if s is off or not?
2. when I do flash a ROM should I flash just the IMG file or the whole ZIP?
I am sorry if this is inconvenient for you or other memebers I do apologize just trying to learn about this flashing ROMS

1) If all you are doing is flashing Roms right now you don't need to s-off.
2) You flash the zip.
and I will second the notion that you should do a lot of reading before you do too much. This is an easy process to screw up if you don't know what you are doing and taking your phone out of commission can be a real pain in the ass.
Good Luck!

We all have to start somewhere. There are some good guides in the forums if you search though that will be a lot more comprehensive than the answers we can give in each individual thread.
1. S-OFF matters if you want to make changes to /system during runtime. For example, if you used a root tool like Titanium Backup to move an app into /system with S-ON, the phone would crash because it detected a security violation (improper programic access to a secured location). S-OFF disables that check. You can still flash ROMs with S-ON though since the protection isn't active to the same extent in recovery, although I think it will block writing to the radio. Don't monkey with it more than you have to though, because it's easy to really screw yourself over with the wrong combination of software (unsigned boot software and S-ON will really brick your phone).
2. Read the thread. Almost all ROMs though are distributed in a flashable .zip, meaning you copy it over to the phone's storage and install through recovery (or use sideload). You shouldn't have to use the .imgs ever, although it's a good trick to know (use fastboot flash <> <>.img) in case something goes wrong. I had to do this recently when my fubared my /system but didn't feel like reflashing the whole ROM, so I extracted system.img from the ROM I used and just pushed that to device.

There was a really good one in one of the threads in the development section, but I can't for the life of me remember what ROM had it posted. I'll take another look for it later, but in the meantime I would try reading on XDA's wiki.
Oh I just remembered one more question. I have Viper ROM currently but if I wanted to ad a different one should I wipe the Viper first and install new one or would it install right over top of the Viper? Thanks any help is appreciated. You have been the best!!!

You can flash over it (which is often called a dirty flash) but you are much better off wiping first. I usually use This tool. Just put it on your sd card and flash it before you flash your new ROM.

[Q] Htc one stuck on bootloader.

Hey guys, I need some help, also Im new to this sorta and I apologize if this thread isnt where its supposed to be, anywho i rooted my phone and was installing different roms, just trying them out, i had installed the android rev HD 12.1 rom on to my HTC One and it was working fine, but I watched a couple of reviews on the viperone roms so i decided to switch over just to check it out, i started the flashing and all was going well at first but then it froze for a good while stuck at 0% so i decided to restart the phone... turns out that was a horrible idea because now my back ups are gone and my other roms are missing too. well that was the original problem, I looked around and everywhere they said I had to reinstall my ruu to basically factory reset the phone and the first step is re-locking the bootloader... so i did, now it says "tampered- re-locked" and every now and then it says "security warning." then i started looking for my comapnies ruu and i cant find one... can anyone help?
i forgot to mention i have a T-Mobile HTC One.

Basically, if you want to stay back on root, i suggest you unlock your bootloader again and reflash your custom recovery and move on from there. After that you should flash a stock rom if you want to,by just searching it up in the htc one forums. After you have done that you probably have to start over, which means making a nandroid backup and NOT FORGETTING TO BACK UP. Your roms and all your info will be gone after you unlock the bootloader so remember to back up all your contacts and such into your google acc. Have fun rooting! XD

This is probably the best advice for you.
Just something I wanted to add,
Unlock your boot loader then flash a custom recovery just like the first time you did it.
Then boot to recovery and "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ " to get a ROM on your phone, and flash away.

Search for it, I think its under the main htc one general. Stay away from RUU unless you have s-off. You can brick your phone if you don't know what your doing.

You just need to unlock your bootloader again using htc developer page. As long as you can get your phone to bootloader you should be ok. I have never used one of the all in one root etc.. things since it is so easy on htc.
unlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery newesttwrp.img.

HTC Desire 626s stuck on boot.

I messed up my htc when i installed something for xposed through cyanogen recovery. I messed up in even more, i did a factory wipe, relocked and unlocked bootloader again, and nothign wworks. my pc wont even detect the htc anymore and if it were to i wouldnt be able to move the xposed uninstaller into the internal storage because since i wiped the phone usb debugging isnt unlocked. i can only access Downloadmode/Recovery and thats it. please help?

Only thing you can do is download the ruu and try to restore to stock
But I tried that, the ruu didn't detect my phone .
Try flashing this in recovery https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8zKSD2j-kHdVVI2WkNSNjRabTg/view?usp=docslist_api

Download and flash twrp recovery first. It allows u to mount USB storage from there
My phone doesn't support twrp
Cwm doesn't allow u to switch to external memory? Sorry haven't used cwm recovery in years. Not too sure about the features

clockworkmod recovery.
cwm was the main recovery for android devices up til a couple yrs ago when twrp also got into the recovery game.. you'll notice some devs base their install instructions off a certain recovery.. that way they know the full string of possible culprits when they have to diagnose an error or problem.

people really need to use their eyes and look at things a little bit more and quit being so lazy.. the whole 626 forum isnt that big. you can scroll a few pages to find what you need. we have 1 post with more then 30 pages. most are less then 7. don't quote this as a group mentality. it's possible I just suffer from the ability in how to deal with lazy/impatient people..
this phone sucks you know why..
its cheap, so we bought it." maybe.. just maybe well get a cool ROM.."
it's not a flagship device, so the dev side is going to be extremely nill
now we own the phone and dev is still nill, minor progress if anything..
I'm OK with waiting. it's the people that can't wait that are irritating...
read the boards.. it's not a huge sprawling community you can t find the answear.
