Can someone help me ?
Thx

1)Goto bootlader - > fastmode , and flash custom recovery again.
2) When receive custom recovery, flash rom.
3) Get S-OFF, and only when try to flash RUU, without S-OFF you can't downgrade from 2.19 to 1.28

Thx, but my laptop is not recognizing my device in adb mode . My phone shows fastboot USB tough...
Strange no ?

Why you need adb?
Flash recovery via fastboot.. type
1) fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
2) fastboot erase cache

Probably to push the custom rom onto the SD card in order to flash it in recovery

When he will receive working recovery with sideload support, the adb sideload command will be work fine as there will be a support interface(protocol) from recovery.

Did you relock? What error did you get? Was it the right ruu.

What does your device manager on the laptop show? Try different usb port. stay away from usb 3.0 ports to be safe. sometimes i have to unplug and replug before the phone shows..Also reboot laptop if still dont see it.

Fastboot and ADB are two very different modes.
The phone can be detected in fastboot and not be detected in dab, either due to a driver issue or bad usb cable.

I'm sorry, what do you try to explain to me? I know about these modes.
Please read carefully dialogs and why my phrase was told.
At a topic starter works fastboot, but adb doesn't work, ADB and NOT WILL fully work without OS on phone. he tries something to do with phone using adb, way in anywhere in case of its situation.

You flash recovery using fastboot mode in HBOOT... ADB is for pushing the rom to the phone in recovery :cyclops:

YES! Without OS, only one way to flash recovery - fastboot! Therefore I advise to OP to forget adb, to flash recovery.

[Q] Help Please

I was wondering if you could help me with this. Recently I had bought a new Htc one m7 and the phone was on s-off. I tried to update to kitkat 4.4 and sense 5.5 but "/system/customize/CID/default.xml" has an unexpected contents" this error popped up and the installation was aborted. I had a read around the forums and you said it was because default.xml was edited or modified. So how would I restore the original. I know nothing about phones. Sorry for the troubles, please help :fingers-crossed:. Thank you

Do you have adb/fastboot and latest htc drivers on your computer? We will need to see the output of "fastboot getvar all" command so we can determine what you need to do to take the ota or to restore the phone back to stock.
When posting the output of "fastboot getvar all" edit out the imei and serialno.

You only need to install htc sync because it will install HTC drivers at the same time. HTC sync can interfere with what you'll need to do that's why you have to uninstall it after. Just uninstall HTC sync and drivers will still be on your computer unless you uninstall them manually.

unlock bootloader

With your phone on, make sure under developer options oem unlocking is allowed. . .
Then plug in the device to the computer....
Time for the fun to begin....
In ADB
Adb reboot bootloader (it takes your phone to bootloader mode)
Fastboot flashing unlock (warns you not to)
Click Yes when prompted on phone. (YAY!!!)
Please don't forget to save anything you need from ur phone , unlocking your bootloader will fully wipe your device ?

Quick question, Is it supposed to just be text on the bottom left that says fastboot mode?. I've done this on a couple of other phones but this is the first time I haven't seen a menu, also when I run fastboot flashing unlock I'm stuck on fastboot flashing unlock.

Same issues, run adb reboot bootloader and reboots but in funky fastboot. When sending fastboot commands such as fastboot devices nothing happens its not responding. Also if you get into fastboot via power and volume up, and connect to pc and try to run any fastboot commands no response back.

Turn on your phone, and do not connect to pc. Revoke USB debugging authorisation. Disable USB debugging. Enable USB debugging. Now connect your phone to pc. You should get a message on your phone about allowing USB debugging from that pc. Click don't ask again and then yes.
If you don't get that message try accessing phones storage through pc , that should prompt the phone to ask you about allowing USB debugging from that pc.
So click yes.
Now you should be able to run fastboot commands without problems.

No, sorry that is wrong.
ADB permission is not needed for fastboot. These are 2 different programs, with different protocals .
The fact there is no response from phone when in fastboot is a sign that pc drivers are not correctly installed, or the fastboot program needs to be updated.
