my hero cdma can't boot into recovery and can't work only in the normal position after use (fastboot oem boot)
when i power the device and unplug USB cable show me in the screen this lines
Code:
HERO XC SHIP S-OFF

RUU
Even when I press volume down + power .. the screen remains black and does not show anything
I tried a lot to work root and flash recovery.img again by (recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img) .. but every time i enter ((reboot recovery)) does not appear to me anything except previous message ..
my software v2.27.651.5
pardon me because i can't speak english well .. and I ask for your immediate help
Place this on the root of your sdcard. Boot into hboot (fastboot) and press the down volume key, that's hboot mode. It'll find the HERCIMG.zip, which is just the RUU and after it flashes you're phone will be back to stock.

Im having the same exact error
what i did first is that i accessed the recovery mode without knowing and i did the wipe/factory default settings
it brought me to a black screen with only the top slider while that the recovery mode was working
later i installed the ruu software 2.27.651.6 and downloaded it from htc website , at the end of the installing it showed file error cant open
i thought i was just that software (and i didnt download it right) later i tried installing the 1.27 , 1.56 , 2.27.651.5 and the 2.27.651.6 again and it still gave me the same error
after searching on the net i found the command fastboot oem boot which works only with 2.27.651.5 and the 2.27.651.6 version now i cant open my htc hero sprint without this command ,
is there a way to fix it ? please help
It sounds to me like the only way you'll be able to fix your phone is through adb. I'm not sure of the exact steps, but read up on the procedures that have been written up on using adb and you should be able to find what you need. That's all I can think of...

Bummer... well, sorry I don't know what else to tell you at this point. If you follow the steps for putting your phone completely back to stock and it crashes before it completes, then your phone may have a hardware problem. Did you overclock it at all?

Overclocking makes the phone faster, in simple terms. It's risky. I assume that you didn't?

yes never done it before, would the phone be fixed if i did?
No, I only brought it up because overclocking can challenge the hardware and if it overheats then you might run into functional issues. If you didn't overclock then this isn't a factor.
I don't have my main computer handy with all of my browser shortcuts (I've got quite a library from researching rooting, modding, etc), but I know for certain that there are at least 3+ ways to load a new recovery program onto your phone, or get back to a stock ROM even if you brick your phone. You'll have to take the time to search the forums for those earlier guides, the ones before programs were developed to make rooting and flashing ROM's easier (not needing to know much about adb). AndroidForums has quite a few good ones. Check out their FAQ for the HTC Hero.
One other thing... I noticed your bootloader is 1.47. I had issues with that bootloader, with trying to set S-OFF. I had to override with 1.46. You might want to try an earlier bootloader.

If u dont mind can u show me how to install earilier bootloaders ?
Since you can't get your phone fully booted, you won't be able to use ADB. But if you can load the bootloader into Fastboot USB, then use "fastboot". Read up on the Fastboot Wiki and Flash Tutorial. The only caveat is that I've seen two variations on flashing the bootloader using fastboot. Whereas the Wiki I linked shows "fastboot flash boot boot.img", I've also seen "fastboot flash hboot.img" (but I think that may be a typo--certainly it'll let you know).
If you have a ZIP file instead of an IMG file, there will be an "hboot.img" within the ZIP file. I think the fastboot is intelligent enough to know that it needs to be applied to the boot partition. So, you can also do this:
* fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.
* fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing
-- or --
* fastboot flash boot [boot.img]
However, if your current bootloader state is S-ON, you may not be able to execute those commands successfully. I know for myself I had to install ROM Manager to override the hboot 1.47 S-ON that I had installed, which downgraded the hboot. From there I was able to override and flash hboot 1.46 S-OFF.

Guys , Arent there anything to do to my program ,,, if somebody knows ,,,, please tell me
Ok so I've been working at this all day searching everywhere and trying everything with no luck as of yet. As the title says I can't get the firmware to flash via fastboot. I've followed the instructions by downloading the file and renaming it to "firmware" (I didn't include the .zip in the rename, I have Windows set to show file extensions). I then put it in the folder where adb.exe and the Fastboot.exe are located. I updated all the SDK tools and apis. Double checked my drivers. Everything I could think of and had some help from a bunch of awesome Folks but sadly nothing has worked. When i run the commands this is what I get
C:\Users\Shane>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Users\Shane>Fastboot oem rebootRUU

Any help at all is greatly appreciated!!!! Pretty much stuck until another way of going about the process comes along. Oh I'm running windows 8(sadly) and I AM S-OFF with the 1.44 H-BOOT(think thats it, i bought it launch day)
Did your device ask to update any drivers from HTC when you plugged it into your pc while in bootloader/fastboot? Mine did at first, and hung while updating the drivers. I also might mention that I was toggling between fastboot and bootloader when it automatically began to update. Had to reboot both pc and device at that point to retry to install the drivers. After I rebooted to system on my phone, while the phone was disconnected from my computer, I booted into bootloader, connected phone to pc, let the drivers install, and when it completed I ran the commands (with the firmware file located inside the folder where I have adb and fastboot) and everything went fine from there. I sure hope you can get this worked out. I remember you helping me a time or 2 with things on the Evo. Hope I can do the same for you brother. Good luck.

So the fastboot flash for the firmware worked AFTER you flashed the 4.3 Rom?

Ok so FINALLY figured this out with help from a bunch of folks! And thanks you guys benny3 and letmeputdatipin for this. My issue was I wasn't running the cmd window from the right location. It has to be ran from the folder your fastboot.exe and firmware zip are located, for me that was sdk-platform tools. You hold shift and right click that folder and select run cmd window here. And then enter the correct fastboot commands and it should work fine from there!
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4
I cannot get the option to bring the cmd window to come up
One method1911
Well, you shouldn't have to run Fastboot commands through the folder in which Fastboot is located unless you didn't set the correct environment variables. Executing commands through the locationed folder is one way to getting around setting up the paths and environmental variables but if you set them up which takes 7-8 second lol then you can just fire up CMD from anywhere and type fastboot . . . BOOM!
Hello, I've been raking up the other xda posts all night and can't seem to find the right solution for my situation. Am a total noob so would really appreciate any instructions, whether to solve the problem or to point me to the right post. Quite lost here.
So, I've been trying to return my HTC one to stock (hk version; CID: HTC__622; modelid: PN0714000) and got into trouble. I used to have CM 10.2 with TWRP recovery. So I used TWRP to install what I thought was a stock ROM (not sure if I'm using the terms right) My current situation, in gist:
(1) Can only load into bootloader, if reboot normally then I get htc splash screen then black screen. -->Refuses to boot into the operating system!!!!!! All I get is the htc flash screen then the black screen until eternity (or I force reboot it by holding vol down and power button under strong light-- tip I got from these parts)
(2) Bootloader (top of) reads "tampered" (which I'm least concerned with) and "relocked"
(at one point it said "security warning" as well… but then that disappeared-- see below)
(3) I cannot use adb via either my Mac/ Windows, I have downloaded google SDK and updated HTC drivers on both machines-- adb devices command simply does not register my phone
(4) atm I am only communicating to my phone via fastboot commands… of which I know next to nth except what are commonly found in these forums…
(5) My machine is still S-off. Before my troubles, it was hboot 1.54, after messing around with it, it's now 1.55 if that makes any difference.
I desperate need my phone for the working week…. PLEASE HELP!!!
FYI: I'm on a Mac, but I do have access to a Windows machine running Windows 7
What I have done so far:-
(1) So I was trying to get back to stock, right? First thing I did was used HTC1guru's Guru reset. The ROM I installed was actually for the Asia WWE variant.
Anyway, so I installed it, and it worked, to the extent that I could get OTA notifications and downloaded the update. But HTC could not verify it and did not allow me to install the update. Because I wanted the Kitkat update, I looked up the net to see what could be the problem.
(2) The next mistake I made (probably a mistake) was to think that I had to relock the bootloader. So I did that. Now my Bootloader is relocked and I cannot, for the life of me unlock it again (I've tried going through the HTC dev steps and flashing the new Unlock_code.bin again but I can't unlock it)
At this point, the bootloader also read "security warning" under "relocked"
Subsequent to relocking it, I can't get into my operating system anymore. The only 2 outcomes I get on reboot are (1) HTC splash screen followed by black screen; OR (2) bootloader (if I do power + vol down)
(3) As one 'brilliant' idea followed another 'brilliant' idea, I also did the following list of silly and probably mistaken things our of sheer desperation. Throwing the kitchen sink in really. But none of them really worked because they all say sign not verified or sth to that effect-- I honestly am beginning to forget the order in which things unfolded… but if that's relevant, let me know and I'll try to recall more details.
(a) flash a recovery.img (stock, for both Asia WWE and HK version which I found on the web; and also TWRP)
(b) flash boot.img from Asia WWE
(c )tried rumrunner (can't do because adb won't work)
My latest attempt has been flash oem reboot RUU (then used zip of HK version 1.29.708 Rom zip)
and my phone is now stuck at the grey HTC on black background screen one gets after the first reboot RUU command (terminal has not prompted me to enter a second rebootRUU command yet!)
I don't know what to do. I don't even know if I should unplug the phone and redo the rebootRUU thing…
:crying: PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok...
First flash a recovery(use Case 2):
No Recovery? No Problem
Oh sh*t here we can have several kind of problems Still no problem But let's first download the recovery.
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
(MD5 hash: 72067AEFB69541D40E8420D7AA46408D)
Case 1 - Normal error with unlocked and s off or s on:
Boot your phone into the fastboot mode
Eat a piece of cheese
Enter this command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Followed by this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\path_to_recovery\recovery_name.img"
And enter the recovery and follow the next piece of guide
Case 2 - For some stupid reason you are s off (that's a MUST) and Relocked:
Sorry, you need this recovery:
https://www.mediafire.com/?ni177radvko5xu7 (If it doesn't work, PM me)
(MD5 hash: F2893CDC17C788B2E49AECEA8C02DCB4)
Boot your awesome HTC One into fastboot
Change CID to superCID using this command (make sure you used 8 times a '1')
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Enter this command
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait until your Pc recognized your phone again and enter this command
Code:
fastboot flash zip "C:\path_to_zip\firmware.zip"
(This may delete all your data)
Happy rebooting with this command
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Enter the recovery and let's unlock the bootloader...
You can unlock your bootloader using these commands(thanks @scotty1223 for your thread!):
[how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required)
If this doesn't work in recovery because you get superSU or permission errors, use this tool here instead:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/
You can simply push the ZIP file to your HTC One using one of these commands:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_zip\zip_name.zip" /sdcard/bootloader_reset.zip
If this one results in supersu and permission errors, try these paths(Thanks @Sneakyghost for this advice!)
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_zip\zip_name.zip" /storage/emulated/0/bootloader_reset.zip
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_zip\zip_name.zip" /data/media/0/bootloader_reset.zip
Case 3 - You totally ****ed up your recovery and data partition:
Right now, I am pretty busy and I don't have time to develop this, check this guide there and post your question there, but pls don't spam @mike1986.
How to: fix a corrupted DATA partition on the HTC One
now you are unlocked and s off... so what we're gonna do depends on what you want to achieve... I didn't really get what you meant in the first post.. you want to be again 100% stock on a Asian ROM ?
with the unlocked bootloader and s off and the custom recovery you are pretty much able to flash the rom you want to the device... how to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632736
or:
Bootloop, No OS, Totally f*cked up OS? No Problem
THIS WILL DELETA ALL YOUR APPS AND APP DATA BUT NOT SDCARD!
First of all, make a factory reset in TWRP... then follow the next steps.
Now the key step here copying the rom.zip to your sdcard. You do this this way
Since you are in the recovery you should be able, no.. actually will be able to use adb commands
To copy the rom zip us this command:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /sdcard/rom.zip
If this one results in supersu and permission errors, try these paths(Thanks @Sneakyghost for this advice!)
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /storage/emulated/0/rom.zip
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /data/media/0/rom.zip
Now, in the recovery, choose install and select the rom you should've just copied and install/flash it.
After that make a factory reset, the standart when chosing wipe in TWRP.
Happy rebooting!

Hello, LibertyMarine, thanks for the response!
I've already downloaded TWRP recovery from the TWRP website, is the one you give me different?
Re: Case one-- I've actually tried flashing the TWRP recovery image before, but it doesn't seem to work. Thing is, I've idiotically relocked my HTC one now, so that might be the problem.
This is what I get when I try to flash TWRP recovery:-
fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9948 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.854s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 12.707s
as for unlocking my relocked bootloader, I've tried numerous times and I simply cannot get my relocked bootloader to unlock again. Whenever I put in the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" (and yes, I've put the Unlock_code.bin into the same folder as fastboot and adb, the terminal gets stuck at "sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)…"
and nothing happens on my phone.
Re: Case two-- I'm one of those poor S-on folks so…
Re: Case 3-- looks like they need custom recovery flashed already… but (see Case one above), I can't seem to flash TWRP on my poor phone … : (
As to the last solution-- totally f-ed up OS etc…. again, I don't have TWRP… nor can I used adb
I'd be ever so grateful if I can just find a way to put twrp on my phone again! o gawd….
THanks again for all suggestions!!

Stock Rom kitkat 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked, s-off. Was in recovery and accidentally hit the "middle button". Been stuck on "updating partition details" for 12 hours. I've searched and can't find the answer, but I'm relatively new so maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. Please be somewhat specific as the jargon is also something I am learning. I know nothing about partitions so I have no idea what my phone is even doing. Thanks guys. Love ya all and would be lost without you!!

Have you tried holding the power button + volume up button to reboot the phone?

You were trying to update firmware using twrp?
First, I would suggest plugging your phone into a wall outlet and charging it until it's fully charged. You can get to the bootloader with the phone off by pressing power + volume down. Afterwards, I suggest running the latest RUU, not simply a FUU. This is done from the bootloader, not TWRP.
NO

For future reference adb works while booted to recovery or OS/rom
Fastboot works in bootloader/fastbootusb

Stock or updated firmware? My phone still runs 4.4.2... I tried everything I could think of...still no recovery or adb...Im not sure which ruu to use...please be a little more specific and thank you so much for responding. I was up until 3:30 am trying to figure this out...Im super tired, frustrated, and heartbroken.
How do i run it? Flash to where? Where should my sdk and adb be on my computer? Is there a more recent version of the tool kit? Do i want to flash from oem ruu? I used to have a bunch of different utilities on my computer and erased what I could fine but there is adb all over the place...I have a few phones...unfortunately. Do i need to relock bootloader? What about recovery? Can I create another account on my pc and avoid the other programs? Can I or do I need to sideload or push anything? I cant even tell if I still have drivers or good ones...phone is just sitting on black screen with silver htc on it

If you are sure bootloader is unlocked and using Linux OS, run fastboot commands as root/admin (as sudo).

Yes, im sure. On bootloader mode is in red color - Phone unlocked, but i not using Linux, im on Windows 7 and this not help me....
Try fastboot oem unlock - command again.
If still not works, try fastboot erase of that *.img file before flashing that new img file.

the reason for this case, that you should not apply updates while you are rooted.
(assuming that you are in lollipop stock )I suggest you check for the driver .. try to run adb (when your phone is in the active state, not powered off)
now, reboot to bootloader and try any other fastboot commands, like fastboot reboot (just to check that fastboot is responding to the device drivers..)
if it does respond, then I'm afraid you have a serious problem, if it doesn't respond, then you have to deal with the drivers, or you have to double check if your phone is unlocked

erase cache command is blocked by huawei in fastboot irrespective of locked or unlocked state. somewhere i read unlock lost permissions after update. if you have not tried unlock after update try it. driver can also be an issue, install hisuite it comes with drivers.

okay. are you sure the bootloader is unlocked? no harm done. just hold vol down + power up. and you get that green android with white background and the text in RED that says UNLOCKED. if its LOCKED, get the UNLOCK CODE first. just a reminder, you can only fastboot flash those *.imgs if you are UNLOCKED. and there are only some files will be flashed properly (recovery.img, recovery2.img, boot.img, you can try). yes, you can use Huawei Update Extractor to get those files, even in Marshmellow files. but for reviving the phone, use B067 Kitkat or any Kitkat you can get from Huawei Downloads.
1. Get into bootloader mode. I guess you already know how to do that. Plug the phone to wall charger. Yes, leave it charged with white screen showing. Leave it until you finished preparing the PC.
2. Make sure you can use fastboot. You can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe found somewhere in XDA. And make sure that it can detect the phone when you write fastboot devices. It will show up if set up properly.
3. Huawei Update Extractor + Any Kitkat firmware. Extract everything. Note the tags beside each .img inside that Update Extractor. Youre gonna need those tags in order to flash properly.
4. Copy all those *.imgs that extracted into Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Check program files (x86).
5. Now ready the pc by launching that minimal adb and fastboot.exe as admin. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
6. fastboot devices. pull the phone from wall charger. plug it to pc. listen to usb connecting sound and driver installation. hit enter and the device should show up.
7. This is where its getting interesting. remember the tags? use that tags like this.
RECOVERY.img = fastboot flash RECOVERY RECOVERY.img
BOOT.img = fastboot flash BOOT BOOT.img
CHECK THE TAGS BEFORE FLASHING!!! and yes, just 5 or less files will be flashed successfully. Ignore it. fastboot reboot it. Yes, its stuck, plug it to the wall again while we prepare the microsd.
8. update.app file. Put that update.app file inside /microsd/dload/update.app folder. Put the microsd inside the phone. Yes, its stuck.
9. Now do the force update. when you see the emui logo, immediately plug it back to wall charger. wait until 100% and it rebooted itself, and you can see the language selection screen again.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK. Ive already done it, I hope it worked for you too.

First...many thanks for your interest!
Look, about bootloader, on boot mode is in red PHONE UNLOCKED, i try this command in fastboot:

so what is FB Lockstate??Is my bootloader unlocked or locked??
Here is another command which i try....
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
Can't determine partition type.

It seems that fastboot write recovery (with your help i need use admin rights now this work) but i still cant boot to recovery no matter how...
I can also flash and backup boot and recovery via Flashify or Rashr and when i open backup with HEX editor it seems that i succesfully upload TWRP but still cannot acess TWRP recovery....
This is all what i try in this time, of course i read your help words about Huawei extractor etc. but not try at this time, i hope i explain more detailed my problem. Look im not a newbie, i allready flash etc. my Lenovo and P9 lite what i have here but not understand where can be problem in this Honor 4x, it seems like corrupted recovery partition or can be problem in read only/write partition - i play with this option before....
anyway - run as admin - this help me a lot i think, THX and wait your answer.
EDIT: one thing, you think that when i try flash stock recovery (i can, no problem of course) it will be work?
Update: Big success, i just try flash stock recovery B064b and now im in stock recovery menu, im surprised but what now? I want update to Marshmallow 6.0....?
But in stock recovery is: phone and the data cannot be recovered. Continue?
Oh sorry, this is about "not sd card inserted" problem
What will now progress? I have inside B130 firmware and want Marshmallow, also TWRP recovery must i flash now especially for B130 firmware for work?
Update: Yes, all working now, factory reset, recovery etc. you help me a lot, only if you can tell me what number of firmware must i upload for Marshmallow, thx
Last update: So finally, coz im too hurry and dont want wait for your answer :angel:, i just upload from local update first Android 5.1.1. after this 6.0 and all is perfect and working!
My big thanks and kisses goes to you zzztidurvirus, im lucky and still cant beleive that all works, again thx!!
I did once on Win to revert back to Stock from CM12.1 by using img from update.app file. For my case, it's the MM update.app not working, I couldn't flash img files into phone, then I tried to flash files from LP, it worked. I boot into LP ROM and update from there to MM.
Hey hey people.
I was trying to upgrade my friend's Honor X4 Che2-L11 variant to 6.0 age from it's lollipop and ****ed up - big time. It seems to have a recovery, and it bootloops. I can't get it to install any update.app though, it either errors or gets stuck/crashes at 5%.
Now I am trying to flash a individual stock recovery with fastboot. Like the guide by zzztidurvirus there, but whenever I try to issue flash command this is what I get:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'RECOVERY' (9304 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.258s]
writing 'RECOVERY'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.261s
- so basically any flash command sends OKAY, Writing Fails with Command not allowed. Bootloader is unlocked, "PHONE unlocked" on screen and same status messages from fastboot as Lulu up there when making queries.
What gives, what could I try still?

Sadly not, as I tried both running ADB fastboot as admin from administrator command line and I tried three different recovery images from huawei, 6.0 (because the flash went bad during attempt to flash a 4.1EMUI with 6.0 B506 ROM for CHE2-L11) - And it keeps denying the write attempt with the same message. More info on the flash: I tried to TWRP flash from 5.1 rom to the EMUI4.1 6.0 ROM following guide someone made with updateappflasher.zip or something, during the flash the phone just crashed 60% in the bar and after that the phone is boot looping into recovery but it can't do anything. Like said any attempt to flash a stock rom even if a recovery seems to exist when booting VOL+ & POWER at the same time, but it will fail if attempting to do wipe data/factory reset in 40% mark. Forced updater can also be accessed but again, thanks to the firmware situation the phone is in it does not flash anything beyond 5% without crashing and being stuck or just giving an error message outright.
Only thing I might have not have is the right kind of ADB drivers but googling about CHE2-L11 I really cannot find a ADB drivers for this phone for life of me and dealing with windows 10 these days makes it worse. At least it used to be that I was with windows 7, back when I myself unlocked the bootloader of the phone and rooted it myself, I have some memory of that being harsh to deal with too, as I had hard time getting drivers that worked right with the phone etc.
I will check into this... At this point my friend bought a new phone already but I still will try to fix the phone for him since I feel personally pretty bad for pretty big mess I made.
I will also try this with a windows XP machine I have still, it is meant entirely for different things but at times like these it is somewhat nice to have a XP around. At least the darn driver problems are not a problem.
UPDATES:
I unbricked the phone. The stock recovery was intact enough for just a normal dload install of a update.app from huawei - why it did not initially work was probably the USB connection to computer and/or 64gig microSD card my friend had, not being compatible with Huawei's recovery updater. I myself had a 8gig card around which worked and I restored the phone ultimately to a 6.0 official ROM. I also went ahead to root it - and final find really was that the reason why recovery etc. would not flash, was because I wrote "fastboot flash RECOVERY twrp.img" - instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - the latter works, and the all caps for "RECOVERY" results in illegal command error - and it was no bigger than that.
Meanwhile even after sorting this all out my friend already ended up buying a new phone so it hurts but I hope some other people find some info here useful.
