[Q] My HTC One stuck on reboot ( ruined I think)

Hello.
I don't know if this is the right section ( and if it isnt I deeply apologize)
I think I ruined my HTC One last night though not sure.
I had it unlocked and with Trickdroid on it.
Then I wanted kitkat, did everything by the book, the ROM installed and everything. Everything was good until the first restart.
Since then, it kept on trying to restart. It attempts to enter in recovery mode ( I can see the pink text for few sec) and then is rebooting over and over, in the same sequence:
- wants to reboot but can't
- attempts to enter recovery but falls back into rebooting
I tried EVERYTHING to try and fix it but I think I've ruined it
While holding volume down and power button I can go into recovery ( I think) but no matter what I chose, it follows the same pattern. Attempting, failing, starting over.
If it's any use: I have the S-OFF ( I think, as I did it last night)
Is there anything I can do ?
PLEASE help, Im without a phone..

Re-flash recovery and type fastboot erase cache. See if you are able to get in recovery.
Post your fastboot getvar all output (remove imei/sn)

First off, let me thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
Your language is way too complicated for me
Im just a graphic designer.
I don't know how to re-flash recovery and where/how to type fastboot erase cache.

OK. You will need to catch up on how to use adb and fastboot commands. There are a few guides which detail their usage. Please familiarize yourself

But...I need help now.
I can't...familiarize myself in a domain I didnt have contact with, in a matter of hours.
Please help me do it. Like I said, I have no phone now, I need a phone

Please, ANYONE ???
Please?

You chose to install a rom without knowing how to troubleshoot. Your phone is S-OFF (supposidly), you have YET to provide ANY information using fastboot getvar all, and you are expecting someone to hand hold you and fix your phone, do I have it right so far??
Better get started on learning how to use ADB, ADB Push, Fastboot commands so that some hand-holding can commence.

Well the first question would be, where did you get that getvar all? it is customary to copy/paste output of the getvar all (XXXing out anything but the first two characters of IMEI and s/n), cause above getvar has way too many faults in it.
But we're not being helpful here are we
so now get yourself TWRP 2.6.3.3 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
(don't use a download manager on that site, and make sure MD5 is correct)
then flash it:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
now, if the <rom i want to install>.zip is not already on your phone:
adb push <rom i want to install>.zip /sdcard/ <- this will take about 5 minutes without any progress
then in TWRP, select "install" -> "choose zip" -> and select the <rom i want to install>.zip

It doesnt matter that when I installed Trickdroid, I used Clockwork recovery, right?
I can just install twrp over it or something, corect?
P.s. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your help. I don't know how else to repay your kindness but if you need an avatar or a forum signature, I promise to do one for you that you will love ! Thank you

1- "It doesnt matter that when I installed Trickdroid, I used Clockwork recovery, right?" -> yes it does, if you're using any 4.4 ROM, at the moment the most reliable/recommended custom recovery is TWRP 2.6.3.3 (possible 2.6.3.4), anything else and you may encounter bootloops or failed installation.
2- yes, you can just flash it over CWM, no problems there.
3- xda forum has that little thanks button (on the lower left, of a post), when you feel someone actually helped, it's one way to reward them
4- i should get around to an avatar, maybe i'll take you up on that offer sometime
Let me/us know if you need more help
cheers

@nkk71, as OP is S-OFF, would probably flashing RUU ZIP for 401 region be good?
This one should do the job... http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_318486_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/
Or http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/

Hi SaHiLzZ, hope all is well
yes he could, but since I can't really say whether that getvar is correct (sorry no offense to OP), because it has too many unknowns (to be more precise: mistakes) for the output he/she posted, i'm hesitant to recommend flashing a ruu

Ok so now, the situation is like this.
1. My phone is connected to the PC and it's on FASTBOOT USB ( nothing happens on its screen)
2. I have 3 cmd windows open
- fastboot recovery openrecovery bla bla.img ( it says: sending "recovery" (9184 KB)
- fastboot erase cche (it says: erasing "cache")
- fastboot reboot-bootloader (it says: rebooting into bootloader...)
NOTHING happens. It's been like this for the past 15 min.
Im doing something wrong clearly so...can you tell me what Im doing wrong?

first copy/past command prompt, stop typing it, if your command prompt isnt in quick edit mode, check out attached screenshot
second, when it went back to bootloader, did you use VOLUME buttons (to scroll) + POWER (to select) and enter RECOVERY?

Yes, I did just that to get to RECOVERY.
And when you say that I should copy/paste, you mean that I should copy all 3 commands you wrote in your previous post and then paste them into my cmd window here? All 3 at the same time and in the order you wrote them?

Yeah, because I opened a cmd window for each of the commands you wrote After seeing that the first one does nothing that is.
And yes, I think I am in custom recovery now.

I swear to God, I don't do anything wrong on purpose, including mistyping. That is EXACTLY what it says there.
I know one prompt should be enough but after typing your first command and nothing happened ( but it looked as if its sending something) I opened 2 more, for the other 2 commands. Call me an imbecile...most likely I am...
And I think I managed to get the getvar all as you requested.

fastboot error lg optimus l90 D415

So I have an LG D415 and I don't know if it's bricked, softbricked, hardbricked or whatever, i'm really a noob and would really appreciate some help, I've included a picture, that shows what pops up when I try entering "Download mode" but I've already tried flashing the KDZ files, I've tried factory resetting the phone, nothing seems to work, phone always shows 0% battery even after charging for over an hour, and so I tried getting into the fastboot commands and stuff, I extracted the laf dz from the kdz files, renamed it to laf.img, put it in the same folder as my fastboot drivers (not even sure if I have the correct drivers) I open up command prompt inside the folder, type in "Fastboot flash laf laf.img" and the following appears in cmd:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'laf' (13312 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.586s]

I feel like I am missing something or missing some steps, I've got the laf partition, the fastboot drivers(I think) phones in fastboot mode even though at the top it says download mode, no idea as to what to do or try next, if anybody could help it would be very much appreciated...

What ROM are you using? I think you should try flashing the bootstack with recovery from here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/bootstack-kk-l-l90-t3118632. When you flash the bootstack, recovery gets rewritten with an old version of twrp so you probably want to have an IMG of twrp to update to the latest version.

So the first to do is run the command fastboot oem unlock with the phone connected to your computer with fastboot. Then download the latest twrp from https://dl.twrp.me/w7/twrp-3.1.1-0-w7.img and flash it with fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-w7.img making sure that you move the twrp IMG to the directory where fastboot is unless fastboot is on your path where you can just flash it from cmd in the downloads folder. After that, try to factory reset the phone and it should boot into twrp where I would flash the lollipop bootstack linked above with adb sideload "zip name here" where you put the full filename of the zip in zip name here and remove the quotes, boot into the download mode thing which is fastboot and reflash recovery with the instructions above.

How can I flash TWRP?
I've got a TWRP file named "TWRP_2.8.0.0_26.09.14_L90.img"
Tell me where to go from there, and also, the phone isn't even detected using the command "adb devices" it says list of devices and does'nt ever show anything...

Flash twrp by first moving the twrp IMG to where fastboot is and running fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.0_26.09.14_L90.img with the phone in the download mode thing and connected to the computer.
Also, could you please re-run fastboot getvar all even if you have already run it because its output probably changed and send me an image of what it shows.

After that, run fastboot reboot recovery to reboot into recovery. Press the advanced button and then press the button that says adb sideload with the touchscreen and start it. Then to install the zip run adb sideload zipname where zipname is the name of the zip you want to flash.
After that boot back into the download mode thing to reflash recovery and then reboot into recovery with fastboot reboot recovery. After that I would flash the zips for a ROM and optionally gapps with adb sideload.

This is what I get:

I think the fastboot on the phone has issues because it seems to not flash anything. I think you should try this >>> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unbrick-hard-bricked-l90-variants-t3173429

Cannot update from cyanogen recovery to twrp recovert

Hello,
I am trying to update from the old cyanogen recovery to the TWRP recovery in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3557606
I have enable to write the cyanogen recovery in the developer options.
I have rebooted into flashboot and executed:

Unfortunately the system boots in the cyanogen recovery anyhow.
does anyone knows what am I doing wrong ?
Many thanks in advance

There's an app called NDR Utils that lets you choose which recovery to boot to, but I don't know of a clean link where you can get it.
I got it with Nut's Dual Recovery:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26

I mean you have to unlock your bootloader with:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xhex_unlock_key
(see here)
also you have to erase the old recovery with:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
(claimed in this guide here)
Edit: I forgot you used a CyanogenMod Recovery, which is stored in FOTAkernel,
so you have to use also :
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase FOTAKernel
I did read it here
Hope that does help you

Thanks a lot !

I updated my last posting

What to do with a fully cleansed phone?

My attempt to install a custom rom has failed horribly and I'm left with a wiped phone. Is there a way to reinstall EMUI? Or still somehow get a custom rom?
I flashed lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img on system, but although there was no error message it didn't seem to do anything.
It's a LLD-L31

Maybe, in fastboot mode run commands :
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
and post the results.
Some might fail, so don't worry about it.
If you want to flash GSI custom ROM , look here or here .
(ANE and LLD are basically identical devices).
Btw, I'm running LOS 19.0 by Andy Yan on ANE-LX1, works like a charm...

I don't seem able to get into fastboot anymore, only TWRP 3.2.1-0 boots. The menu "Reboot - Fastboot" leads back to TWRP and running "adb reboot fastboot" from console as well.

- Try the following: turn off your phone, press and hold Volume Down and connect phone to PC.
- Can you boot into eRecovery? (turn off, connect to PC and press and hold Power & Vol Up). If so, try to update phone via Wifi and option "Download latest....".

Okay, try the following:
1. Download Service ROM
Unpack it, there's a dload file in Software folder. Copy dload as it is to the SD Card (without unpacking it!)
2. Download TWRP 3.2.1 https://mega.nz/#!tkcTlATI!A8UJGPBGtxJbLcUOJoxCGJj5PFZXzCnjbb3OkwqKTP8
and copy it to SD Card
3. also copy to SD stock Recovery_ramdisk-9.1.img , download here:
https://mega.nz/#!M0FHlYhb!4yWz8Onr3D1NATel4mZSK4SNdd5B3p6dnPg6oXPGWl8
4. Boot into your TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image", find TWRP-9.1 file and mark eRecovery, swipe. Go back, find recovery_ramdisk-9.1 file , mark Recovery, swipe.
5.Turn off the phone, use option 'Power Off' in TWRP's menu.
6. Press and hold Power & both Volume buttons .

Sorry to bother you again, just wondering if you have any advice. I tried flashing LineageOS 17.1, but realised that the bootloader is locked again. My unlock code doesn't seem to work anymore (check password failed) and I figured it's because I have to downgrade EMUI 9.1 to 8.0. Took me a while, but turns out that was not the issue.
Do you happen to have any idea what to try? Do I have to buy another DC Unlocker license?
I don't know if it's related, but "adb reboot fastboot" just reboots the device and I have to use the volume down key to get there.

Unlock code is permanent. Is OEM unlocking turned on in Developer options? (FRP unlock on fastboot screen?)

Turns out the problem was copy/pasting the unlock code instead of hand typing it..
So I could flash it, but then the reset failed. Just realised that EMUI 9.1 is a requirement though, so I'll flash that first and try again.

Edit: Nvm fixed it. Sorry if you got a notification anyway.

1. be sure that your bootloader is unlocked, try to unlock it again
2. In fastboot mode run command
fastboot erase system
and try to flash GSI again
3. Install TWRP 3.2.1 gaguga edition, in TWRP select Mount - mark System, go back, select Wipe > Advanced > mark System > Repaire or etc. > Resize file system > confirm, reboot .
Then flash back stock recovery and try to install GSI.
4. Downgrade to the lower build number via dload method
5. idk...

How do I get a recovery on my Redmi 9 (lancelot)?

I'm trying to install custom recovery and ROM on my Redmi 9. I've used XiaoMiToolV2 (https://github.com/francescotescari/XiaoMiToolV2) built on my mac to unlock the boot loader.
But I seem to be stuck trying to replace the recovery.
I tried TWRP- this sent me into a boot loop,
so I tried orangefox from here: https://orangefox.download/device/garden which fixed the bootloop, but everytime I go into recovery it shows me the MIUI Recovery tool.
I also tried pitchblack recovery from here: https://pitchblackrecovery.com/lancelot/ which gives me the same problem.... booting into recovery always shows MIUI Recovery tool.
This is the command I've been using to flash the recovery:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then a restart, then:
adb reboot recovery
Am I missing something?

After flashing TWRP press volume+and power button

MIUI is automatically replacing TWRP with MIUI Recovery. So to fix this after flashing the recovery, you will need to flash the vbmeta image with the flag --disable-verity:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot recovery
This is the vbmeta image: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/vbmeta_redmi9-img.5449805/
Also use this recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-unofficial-twrp-recovery-3-6-1_11-0.4421301/

Thanks guys!
Sergi, your combination of vbmeta and recovery has worked!

TWRP recovery 3.6.1 for lancelot (redmi 9 | lancelot/galahad) I am not responsible for your brick devices. The recovery is fully working and has been tested. If you encounter a problem, write here, maybe they will help you. Before you accuse me...
