boot to fastboot & type
Code:
fastboot erase cache

Nope no good on this one im afraid

Boot into Android. Go to settings then power. Make sure fastboot is not selected. And try again.
That worked for me.

Nexus One recovery won't start, stuck on bootloader

Hello,
ok so the problem is I tired to update to Jelly beam, i read about it here and i follow the steps. I make it to recovery and when i wanted to install files from zip it gave me error - Installation Aborted. I read somewhere that i have to update my Clockwork recovery so i tried and since then i can't do anything. When i press the power button i go to bootloader, from there if i chose Recovery the phone reboots and stucks on the colored X. When i type "adb devices" in cmd so i can try to apply some method list of devices is empty. I think it can be fixed if i make it to recovery but i can't. I looked a lot and maybe its because im mad or something but i can't find a solution, so if anyone can help me i will be very happy. I don't bother if im back to stock.

[Q] Htc One BRICKED.

After only four day of having this phone i managed to brick it. I would really like to know if its fixable or if i have a really nice paper weight. Im stuck on a boot loop, I was half way through flashing a rom when it suddenly shut off. Now it will not boot up. I can load into the bootlader but when i try to go into recovery it just sends me to fastboot. When i restart the phone i can see the old recovery (TWRP)for just an instant but then the screen goes completely black. If i plug in to my pc, nothing happens my computer detects it but it says y device is damaged nd it cant identify it. PLEASE HELP Am i out of luck?
Ive looked around but i couldnt seem to find anyone with the same problem as me (Sprint Variant)

Good news it's not bricked i would put this question on the rom thread someonethere sshould be able to help

There's a Sprint One forum as well, so hopefully you found a ROM on there!

I really hope so because on a college budget i cant afford another phone D:

Seen this in a couple of other places. Seems certain recoveries are possibly becoming currupted during flashing a new ROM.
What you need to do it get back into fastbboot, and....
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
the re-flash your recovery, boot into recovery, full wipe and reflash your ROM.

Can you flash recovery in fastboot ?
the safest thing to do is relock and use a matching RUU to get back to stock

Your phone isn't bricked. There are two tools in this forum that can help you. One is made by hasoon2000(I think that's his user name), and the other is jwtool(I think). Use them to help to flash a recovery if you don't know how to use fastboot.

Edit: Just got done typing the stuff below and saw you can't connect to your device in fastboot? What do you mean by re-installed driver?
Don’t worry, as long as you can still get into hboot your phone is not completely bricked!
The fastboot commands I referred to need to be carried out on your laptop/pc when you phone is connected in fastboot.
Can I assume that as you have already unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery you are already familiar with this and have your computer set up for fastboot commands?
(Apologies if you already know some of this, best not to skip parts out though!)
I’d start with downloading a fresh version of your chosen recovery, and place it in your fastboot directory ready. I’d also do the same with your ROM.
Like you have already done, boot into fastboot. Connect your phone to your pc, and the red text should change to ‘Fastboot USB’.
Then open up command prompt and get to your fastboot directory. (On Windows 7 you just find that folder in Explorer, hold shift and right-click, then choose ‘Open command window here’.)
To check your pc is talking to your phone, type ‘fastboot devices’. You should get a device serial number back if all is well.
Then type ‘fastboot erase cache’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot erase recovery’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery].img’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot reboot recovery’ and hit enter.
Hope fully you should successfully boot into recovery now. Once in recovery, mount USB storage and copy over your fresh ROM. Choose to do a full wipe including cache and dalvik, then reflash your ROM.
Reboot.
Let me know how this goes.

I used the hasoon2000 to flash TWRP earlier, but my problems is that my pc wont recognize my phone. When i plug it in it and try to re-flash it it cant find it. When i check my devices it shows up as an android device but it says the drivers are damaged. if i could get it to read it i think i should be eable to reflash somethint.
I APPRICIATE ALL THIS HELP. i really am trying to be as specific as possible :fingers-crossed:

Hey so just a thought and experience I have had with all my HTC phones is when you see that quick glimpse of the TWRP recovery screen then it disappears to an empty black screen......you are sometimes still in a form of recovery but during your Rom flash something (i don't know for sure) changed and it doesn't show the screen only black. So with that long explanation out of the way....have you tried once the screen goes black the
"adb devices "
Mine whenever in this situation would return the output of serial number and recovery so then you can push or sideload the Rom and boot into the system at which point your fastboot drivers will finally be recogniZed.....
Hope this helps a little

I'd say the next step is to re-install your drivers in the SDK. Open up your Android SDK and reinstall them. In Windows Device Manager, find your connected device (probably now with an exclamation mark on it) and right click on it and select 'Update Driver'.
(Assuming you are using Windows 7 here?)

when you are in fastboot, connect your phone using the usb cable, and when you see "fastboot" written in red turned into "fastboot usb" or something like this, do the commands below using cmd window of course :
1) fastboot erase recovery
2) fastboot erase cache
3) fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
4) fastboot erase cache
Let us know when you fix it
Good Luck

(Win8 but the procces is identical.) All my drivers are up to date. Still no love.

On the dev forum is a thread that includes all the latest drivers (including an app to remove older drivers.)
Find that thread, download the drivers and bmp and driver removal tool. Remove drivers with tool, install the new drivers, reboot, connect phone and see if 'adb devices' finds anything.
Also make sure you're using the latest adb.

This actually sounds really similar to my situation.. Would you care to be a little more specific on the procedure? noob here.

[Q] How do I fix this

I tried to install a Viper rom (the latest one) but it kept saying error and when I went back to reboot it said that my phone might be unrooted and there was a button that said FIX and a button that said No, reboot and another one that said go back. Through hesitation, I clicked go back on accident and it rebooted. I don't know why but it got stuck on bootloop. Now I stopped the boot loop by holding down the power button and the down volume key at the same time to go back to the bootloader. Now, my problem is, how can I fix everything? I can't boot back to recovery because it goes on a boot loop and I can't factory reset either. I tried using HTC One All in one toolkit but it doesn't recognize my device. It keeps saying "Error: device not found" but my phone clearly says Fastboot USB. I need help ASAP

First of all, don't use a toolkit. They rob you of the understanding you need to fix problems like this.
- You should be able to use fastboot to boot recovery. Can you?
- Did fastboot/USB connection ever work for you? How about adb?
- If you get fastboot working (drivers?), you can clear the cache with "fastboot format cache".
- If you can't boot recovery to do the other steps (factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache), you have bigger problems. But I think these steps CAN be done from the bootloader. Maybe not all of them--I'm not sure what will work and what won't, as far as various combinations of "fastboot erase dalvik / fastboot format userdata / fastboot erase userdata", etc.
- First, focus on booting recovery. Get fastboot working and clear the cache if you need to.
- Note that IF you can factory reset through fastboot (I'm not sure you can), it will wipe /sdcard as well.

adb doesn't recognize my device. I don't know why. I can't boot to recovery either.

Same problem
Hi mate i got the same problem as you

Adb only works within a working os or in recovery.
