I will try to help as much as possible, but that does not allow you to hold me responsible for anything whatsoever.
Step 1. Download this zip file and extract it, putting all the files in a folder.
Step 2. Download the file "One-Click Fastboot Restore.zip" and extract it, putting all the files in the same folder as the one above.
Step 3. Run the .bat file and follow the instructions.
DO NOT FIX PDS PARTITION UNLESS NECESSARY! IT WILL WIPE YOUR MAC ADDRESS FOR WIFI AND BLUETOOTH!
(Found some typos, not serious. Will fix soon)

No comments yet? I take that as a good sign, I haven't screwed up the script!

What does this do? Restore a backup from fastboot
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I'm also curious what exactly it does. At 140k it isn't replacing very much. Does it just fix files related to booting?

Didnt run it because I'm on linux and my phone is fine, but looking at the batch file, it automates flashing the stock gingerbread rom and restores PDS via fastboot.

when I run it, it gives me AdbWinApi.dll error. any suggestions?

I ran this for ****s and giggles and it returns everything back to stock AT&T 2.3 while giving you options along the way of what exactly you wanna restore to stock? webtop, system,pds, wipe data etc. works perfectly! makes life easier really! Phone booted right up after running no problems! Thanks!

It restores your phone back to stock AT&T android via fastboot automatically. It also gives you the option to *fix* your pds partition.
It's also an alternative to RSD

Anyone has a clue? Is this a complete restore to out of the box-state?

sorry if this is a noob question. but dose this revert ext 4 format back to stock? haven't been keeping up lately and this ext 4 ext 3 stuff is new to me.

It restores it back to stock AT&T. EVERYTHING will be restored to stock.

It restores it back to stock AT&T. I tried this on an international Atrix.

Pardon my ignorance, i'm trying to restore a bricked Atrix 4G for a friend. It gave error Failed to boot SVF 105:1:2 0x1000 after bad upgrade. Is it possible to use this as a solution? How can i find that out? and in any case, i have downloaded all files, what's the correct procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Well, been trying but haven't been able to do anything with it. I mean I never used it before and seems like it needs to boot into fastboot mode which I haven't been able to do.
Is in any way possible to make the phone boot into that via usb cable with this software? I installed all requiered software including drivers but it never detected the phone in that (bricked) state, not even once. The phone turns a green light when u connect the usb without battery in, thats it.
I haven't found any solution yet, only seen ppl saying to buy a new one. Is this brick really that bad that there's absolutely no solution? And it all seems to be caused by lack of SBK as ive read on the net...
Well if there's any good news I would like to hear them

It's a hard brick. I'm sorry, but it cannot be fixed. You can always try a factory cable, but so far, nothing can be done. I feel your pain

[Q] Phone not recognized by CPU after Wire Trick

I have an HTC Vivid that was rooted with ICS that I attempted to S-OFF with the wire trick. Apparently my timing was never right because it didn't work. It would get to the point where is says its still sober... I tried about 10 times then all of a sudden it says phone not found or something. I then noticed that my phone was no longer being recognized by my cpu. I have tried everything. Multiple SD cards multiple usb cables with no luck. My phone was stuck on the boot screen then I loaded a PH39IMG file that wiped everything and took me back to GB. My phone still cannot connect to any of the 6 cpus (Vista/windows 7) in my home even after installing multiple drivers for HTC and PDANET. HELP any way to make my phone work with my cpu? It only charges when connected to cpu. Also any one have a PH39IMG for ICS? every link on XDA is expired

no only the factory recovery as I stated before the wire trick froze the phone and I had to use a PH39IMG from my sdcard that had the original gingerbread stock rom that the phone shipped with.

So are you on the gingerbread one now? If you are you can just root and flash a recovery on that. I think there is a zip that let's you update on here too

once again the phone cannot connect to cpu thus I can't use adb to root the phone in order to flash a recovery all of the available PH39IMG zips I've found do not work

ended up fixing my phone by pressing in the blue tab next to the usb port. I guess it's some sort of trigger? anyway all is well and the htc vivid is officially the dumbest phone ever.....wire trick to s-off? wtf samsuck is winning!

I have owned several htc android devices dating back to the g1 and I never had to hot wire a phone until now... that was my brother's phone I told him to get the skyrocket way back when he first bought his vivid on launch day but ah well... I can't give you a photo because he now has the phone. the blue tab is right beside the usb/charger port above the pin that you use to do the wire trick.

Its PC not CPU.. Xpu is central pro seeing unit. Thread is slightly misleading

[Q] "No OS installed!" Can't get past bootloader or recovery! Urgent Help!

I'm an amateur ROM flasher and I usually get around a problem after a few hours of messing around with the device and forums but I am absolutely stumped by this one. After unsuccessfully trying to flash a few roms, I decided to restore my phone back to what it was because I backed it up only a few hours before. All it would load is a black screen with the status bar showing the time and no signal, sometimes allowing me to slide to unlock to my saved launcher with still a black background. Not only would it never get reception, it would reboot within two minutes. This cycled until the battery would die. I ended up deleting everything on the device itself in attempt to fix something, not thinking I would delete my back ups and then my ability to ever get my phone past bootloader or recovery. I can still do fastboot commands and change the recovery, but besides that, it's a brick. Any kind of help would mean the world, thanks!

[HOW TO] ADB Sideload/Push if you Wipe Internal Storage And have no ROM to Flash

Im geussing you dont have any other phone to download a rom to an sd card and put it in ur phone?
It would beat having to go thru all the adb setup if your not familiar with adb .

It's not a brick until nothing lights up our charges. And since there is no sd slot, that's out. You have access to recovery, you're fine. Download a stable Rom and just like fastboot, do an adb push of the Rom like suggested above. Wipe data, caches, and format system before flashing. No worries. All its not lost.

Any of those adb commands results only with "error: device not found"

This may not be a fix for HTC phones, but on Samsung devices, I've had to uninstall and reinstall drivers several times. Do and uninstall, run a registry cleaner, reboot pc, reinstall drivers, reboot, and try adb again. I used to do that every so often with my Samsung devices that wouldn't be properly detected by my pc. It usually fixed my problem.

Sorry, I'm not a Mac guy. I couldn't tell you. Can you poach some time on pc at work or a friend's? You may also be able to boot a Linux live disc on your Mac and work from there. Takes some effort, but may help.

No offense meant, but that information really needs to be in the first post. It could have made things significantly easier. We also really need to know what ROMs you were trying, because the problems you'r edescribing vaguely sound like you've flashed a GSM ROM somewhere along the line by accident, in which case you will need to RUU (and most of the guides are unfortunately pretty Windows-centric).

No offense taken. Unfortunately, a Mac is all I'm able to use at the moment. I'm trying to run CleanRom from the sprint htc one development section of this site, so I'm fairly certain it should work. My main problem right now is that using adb commands my phone is not recognized. Using fastboot, though, works absolutely fine to do whatever I need and recognizes my device. I've tried using twrp and clockworkmod recovery touch to sideload any zip file and just won't work. All it says after trying that is "failed to open driver control: no such file or directory".
Please do tell me if any other information would help you help me faster. I don't frequent forums so I'd imagine I'm quite frustrating to work with.

Anybody have any idea?

Attempted to install new InsertCoin [Fail]

It gets to the end but shows install error 7 at the end, booted anyways, now just bootloops to eternity. No recovery is accessible only fastboot now.
Tried to install 3 recoveries through fastboot all passed but none bootup, factory resetted through fastboot, no go still. Not in anyway meant to steer people away from the ROM, others are reporting it is working fine for them. I can't and a few others it seems. Phones aren't done for, just temp out for the count.
Will clean up the thread and make things prettier but need to get to work, hopefully this gets some attention. Thanks for any help guys, I won't be able to trouble shoot for about 10 hours or more depending on work things.

Were you able to restore your backup, or perhaps adb push a new rom ?
If not, what is your fastboot getvar all output?

I can't access recovery. Others have posted they can get into recovery and revert back. I cannot get it to boot and stay in recovery for more then a second. I installed the latest cwm recovery before flashing all was fine. Any link to sideloading. Will try when I get home tonight, on a backup phone right now at work.

Sorry to hear that. He must have gotten to recovery somehow and wiped everything. The easiest way is to flash a new rom from usb storage, much easier than sideloading (need drivers, etc). And next time better add a lock code [emoji6]
