One-Click Fastboot Restore to recover from bootloop or softbrick

Thanks to dhacker29 for the orginal idea and script!
Check out his orginal post for the Droid Bionic here!
Also, thanks to kennethpenn for providing the files you are about to use!
You have to be unlocked to use this!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR YOUR PHONE!
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?

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

Yes you must be on the Jellybean leak, rooted, with Safestrap 3.0 installed.

Well I rebooted without wiping data or cache and now my phone won't boot.
Cannot enter SS3 either..
So this is a must, not a suggestion.

For you it was a must, in my other experience it's a suggestion. Always wipe if unsure. I will note this in the OP, however.

Yes go into boot options (power and both volume buttons) bp tools

Thanks man , great to see some Custom ROM Action :good:
Will definitely try it over the weekend .

Did everything like the op said and ended up in a boot loop.So i had to go to ap fastboot and use the utility 1.0 to go back to stock and start over.Not sure what went wrong.Will try again and see what happens.

Hey matt. Nice ROM... it looks really cool. Thanks.
For ppl with unlocked BL are the steps the same. Mine is a bell model and cant update to the leaked jellybean. Also do i need safestrap?
I now there's only like 2 of us in this situation here... thnx in advance

unsuccesful on my end as well just stayed at the boot animation all night RSD saved me though i might try again later
edit** tried twice now and still no dice boot loopin on tablet mode

tried tablet version and went into bootloop.....and what happened to the safe strap recovery because this sucks having to rsd, update, root all over again. can i just root, install recovery then restore MY ORIGINAL backup and i assume thats without data. this was a simple op nothing should have went wrong...maybe leave save strap in???

I'm a giddy lil' b#!&h for this! I can't wait to get the time to figure all of this out and get this GORGEOUS ROM runnin! Thanks Matt and Sirhoover for all your work and testing!

Well you can go to leaked Jellybean for AT&T if you are boot loader unlocked... You flash system and boot.IMG from ATT 77.12.22 then boot to stock recovery and install the jellybean leak after the normal root procedure ( root, ota root keeper, etc) see the threads for those Also might need to wipe data when flashing att files or boot loop.

For people having problems I hope you restored to a ROM Slot and wiped data/cache. This method has been tested by SirHoover2010 and he says it works.

It works.

boot looping when I update with Viperboy 1.1.0

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help

Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.

Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Htcs built in backup through dropbox works very well. It restores apps, settings, homescreens. About the only two things it doesnt restore are accounts, autorotate and lockscreen password

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

I do this everytime I flash a new Rom and it doesn't wipe my internal SD...

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.

It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

same problem
ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.

im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me

Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Bricked Sprint HTCOne M7

Hi Developers,
I need your help i have been a fan of this site for some time now and have found very useful information here. now i need your help once again.
I tried to unlock the Bootloader and flashed TWRP and CWM but when i try to bring the device back up SU is not granted Root access. i tried over and ocer again.
When i try to reboot the phone Fastboot/Flash recovery/TWRP or CWM the device hands adn never comes back up.
I even tried to do a Facotry reset and start over. This also did not work.
Can you guys please guide me on truly doing a factory reset so that i can try this again?
Thank you very much for your help.

If you want to reset to out of the box stock, run the ruu.

Make sure you are in the boot loader when running ruu and you have all the proper HTC drivers. If that's not it you can try searching Google for the error.

Dude. Just boot into recovery then on phone press mount usb. On your computer in your drives you should see your phones memory. Download a rom from the sprint htc one. Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834713 Once downloaded drag zip to storage. Once done press unmount usb. Then on recovery press install from storage. Click on your rom zip. Let it install. Reboot your htc one. Your good. You should have no more issues.

Fyi, because I see it misused a lot, "Bricking" man's it won't even power on, be recognized by any device, etc. If it just won't go into its ROM then that isn't a brick.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Mine fits the description of bricked better... All stock, no root, just using it as a GPS, left it plugged into the car charger when I went into the store but turned the screen off (that thing gets HOT). When I came back, no led, no power, nothing. Have tried connecting to the wall charger that came with it, to USB 2 and 3 on computers, left it charging all night. Not so much as a flicker... The computers didn't recognize anything connecting to them either.
Long hold of power (with and without either/both volume buttons) has done nothing.
What is left to try? I would rather not lose all the pictures from my vacation, but need my phone back for work.

[Q] My new nexus won't start correctly

kal eh said:
Hello, I'm pretty much new to the android scene therefore excuse me for my stupidness on this field
I unlocked my nexus 6, then I rooted it and and then I flashed a custom rom (Euphoria 1.0) with WugFresh's Tool.
Yesterday I tried installing adaway and gave it full root permissions, it asked me to reboot and I did so.
After rebooting I realized that I can't unlock my phone nor do anything else except using the pull down notification bar and having a back button, no middle button nor right button.. The screen just remains black. I tried rebooting in recovery mode but nothing changes.
What do I've to do now?
The device doesn't show up as MTP.
When I enter TWRP now it asks me for a password??
I've a Nandroid backup saved on my HDD and I still have the custom rom ZIP saved as well.

It depends. If your phone doesn't work at the moment because something is wrong in the rom, the chance of the same thing happening could happen again. You can try restoring your nandroid and see if that fixes your problem. If not going back to stock is the best way to fix your problem.
