Why did you use one s kit, I'm confused
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

you can try to load ADB Fastboot on your PC, then connect your phone via usb, be sure to have all of the drivers.
in bootloader, if it reads FASTBOOT USB, then you can us
fastboot flash recovery (Name of recovery).img
once that is done you should be able to at least get back into recovery....
check the link for recovery file

I am no expert, but my guess would be to go back to stock boot / recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236418
Relock your phone: fastboot oem lock
Install the RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
And in the future don't use an All-In-One-Kit meant for another phone (The One S in your case)
p.s. Another thread that may help get you back to square one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800

thanks all,
will try all the suggestions above tonight, will let you guys know how it goes. i used the all one s because it was gui and easy and lots of extra and functions. but i guess the extra made it worst.
Right now when i plug in my phone the computer doesn't detect anything, hopefully the adb can talk to it to flash a new recovery/rom/kernel.

Pm me

It wasn't the extras that messed it up. It was the fact you were using an AIO that isn't for your device. That's a big no no.

Once you get back to stock with the RUU, use Hassoon2000's all in one kit...n00b proof!

i was using this, all of the recovery on there were for samsung s3/s4/and special edition. so i couldn't get to the recovery. Then i started tweaking around with the extras and flashed a boot.img to a kernel. failed

Android Revolution ROM is not for the sprint htc one. fyi

First you'll need this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
Extract to someplace you can find it, maybe the desktop
if you power the phone down then hold the vol - button does it boot into bootloader?
if so make sure you have the htc fastboot drivers installed from htc sync
if your on a windows machine from command prompt navigate to the platform-tools folder
for example
mine is in C:/users/ray/downloads/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools
in command prompt issue the command
fastboot oem lock
once the bootloader is re-locked
issue the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
the phone should reboot into a black screen with greenish htc letters
find the setup.exe file from the ruu file and run it.
if all goes well you should be back to stock with a locked bootloader.
good luck

Awesome, unbricked it! Thank you wranglerray!!!!!!
Also thanks to everyone that replied, but it was wranglerray detailed step that helped me through it. awesome community.
as promised, send me your paypal account wranglerray, i'll send you the $50

Let this thread be a lesson that 1) don't mess with your phone if you don't know what you're doing and 2) don't flash a GSM ROM on your Sprint phone because it wipes your boot and recovery partition (on GSM phones, it wipes data and system but sprints partitions are different).

Failing after making a bunch of random attempts to do something doesn't constitute learning. Next time you should make sure you actually understand what it is that you are trying to do before you do it, and maybe then you won't end up almost completely wiping your phone clean.
You're lucky that the international One's and Sprint Ones partitions aren't like the Sprint/international S3, or else you would've overrided your bootloader as well and had a brick on your hands.

Droid 3 Now What Do I Do?

OK, I have a Droid 3, that I messed up. I spent the last week searching to find a solution, but this has only left me more confused than ever. When I find what looks promising the links to the file don't work. I am a bit overwhelmed now and need help.
Here is what happened. I installed ClockWorkMod Rom Manager on my rooted Droid 3. I tried to make a backup, this did not work. I then found ClockWorkMod Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap, this worked then I made a backup. I then tried to load cyanogenmod this failed. Now the phone is stuck on the Motorola Logo, I left it on overnight and it was still stuck. Now I can reboot +X , but I only get the Android System Recovery, but it doesn’t see the backup made by Droid 3 Recovery. The phone does not boot to the Droid 3 Recovery menu (or atleast I don’t know how).
I can also get to the “Boot Mode Selection Menu 0A.64” but I am more confused about all these options. I tried looking for file to flash but I can’t figure this out. The options I have on this menu are;
Normal Powerup
Recovery
AP Fast Boot
BP SBF Flash Mode
BP Only
BP HW Diag & Boot AP
BP Tools
I was able to connect my phone to the pc, but I don’t know how to use any of these options or what software I need on the PC to make this work. Yes I am a noob and this is my first post.
So, how can I get my phone to work again?
Please help, Thanks

The best idea is to use RSD Lite with AP Fastboot to restore an SBF to bring the phone to scratch.
sd_shadow has a great resource here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...gVAeQXxSkaLPlBAAw/edit#heading=h.lpb8vdlj146l
But, to save some time, you'll find the SBF files that you want here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...gVAeQXxSkaLPlBAAw/edit#heading=h.lpb8vdlj146l
You want the download link in the third line, under build number 5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10
Blur_Version.5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US
To get to AP fastboot mode, follow this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...AeQXxSkaLPlBAAw/edit#bookmark=id.xj82g0jvczjr
For RSD Lite instructions, see this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...AeQXxSkaLPlBAAw/edit#bookmark=id.77zigoazhz70
And give a big thanks to sd_shadow for collecting all of those instructions in one place. Totally awesome.

Thanks, that worked great. My phone is working again.
Now on a slightly paranoid note, how can you be sure that the file that was used to program the phone is truely the stock version from verizon and does not contain any malware?

The locked bootloader prevents anything that isn't official motorola from being flashed to the phone

I started my list, for a few reasons, because like you I post on several other forum's, good threads don't get stickied, stickied threads get outdated very fast and don't get updated because the OP, has moved on to another device
I'm also working on uploading sbfs and xml file to
dev host and android file host

[Q] Fastboot on power-up

Apologies if this has been answered before, I searched the other threads and it seems so one has my exact same problem. I bought an Atrix HD from a local seller, unaware of this little problem that it boots into fastboot mode after powering down and back up. (seems he had been tinkering around with it with no success) I found out I could do the pwr+vol.up+vol.dwn trick, causing it to go to the boot menu screen and then booting up normally. I figured I could live with that small annoyance.
But after doing more research I found out that this AHD had been updated with the most recent OTA that irreversibly locks the bootloader and disables any possible rooting. I just dont want to keep this phone anymore if Im going to be stuck on stock JB ROM, and no flashing capabilities. And I really want to have that HDMI overscan option that apparently was in ICS and they took it away. (I know, stupid me for not researching this before buying). I just want to be able to sell this phone WITHOUT having to warn the buyer of this fastboot problem, which I think would really decrease the value of the phone.
Any ideas of a method to fix this?

Have you tried the Myth Tools?

I had checked that out, and noticed it uses motochopper and motopocalypse for rooting and unlocking bootloader. I had already tried those methods with no success, and figured it was because of the July OTA locking it all up. But I got a private message from a member who said he was in my same situation and able to flash a ROM back with myth tools. So maybe I just wasnt doing it right. I'll try again, paying attention to detail...

Update: still no joy. Installed JDK and the adb-fastboot-apk I cant root or unlock BL with myth tools. It just hangs. Even tried just flashing a couple ROM's listed in the myth tools instructions thread, because hey, what could it hurt now? No success, just kind of formats my phone but still the same version.
If it's of any use, system version is: 98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US
build number: 9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20

Are you sure the bootloader was unlocked. Once unlocked, it can't be relocked.

have you tried flashing Mex retail using rsd lite to downgrade a version

I didn't know the atrix got an update. I thought it was only for the razr. To fix that issue re flash the boot image.

Hi

I am new to this forum persay i have been browsing and learning for a lil while now. And now i got a issue i cant find or resolve on my own. I bought a droid incredible s today and it was going into the hard rest menu ( power down and volume down ) and i downloaded a new firware for it of here and was getting ready to install it and now it wont go into the hard rest menu. I don't know what happened... Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Uhm.. could it be that you flashed firmware of another device?

If you did a Wipe Data/System Reset from the boot loader menu, you have reset the device settings and the FASTBOOT option is now enabled which prevents you from getting into the boot loader.
You need to boot the phone normally and then disable the FASTBOOT mode and also turn on adb debugging mode while you are at it.
In order to flash the custom ROMs on this forum, you will need to unlock the boot loader and then install a custom recovery.
Sounds like you need to do some more reading and studying about how to successfully mod your IncS.

Also this is really impossible unless:
1. You have brick (which could be possible considering the fact that it seems you don't know what you are doing based on what I read)
2. You have no battery left (which could also be fully possible)
Like tpbklake suggested, I really do encourage you to read a bit more. Screwing these little things up really could lead to a dead phone.

Firmware update was a over the air update from verizon. Nothing out of the normal. And i haven't done anything to brick the phone. It just wont go into bios now. I didn't install anything just tried factory restore of bios menu.

If you got an ota from Verizon, then you have a droid inc 2 which has it's own forum. Although they are very similar, you cannot run the ROM on this forum.
Did you read my previous post about System Reset will disable you from getting into the boot loader screen? You need to disable FASTBOOT mode and then you should be able to get into the boot loader screen.

[Q] AT&T G Flex Stuck in Fastboot mode

Hello,
I have my brothers AT&T LG G Flex, model # LG-D950. When the Kit-Kat update was rolled out I updated my device with no problem. My brother on the other hand said that he attempted the update and it put the device into Fastboot Mode. I think he tried to root it and screwed it up. I have spent hours searching for a solution and trying to fix the device. I have tried multiple programs to try to flash the phone, and cannot find one that will recognize it in fastboot mode.I have tried to follow other threads to go back to stock and tried booting it with different button combinations to try to get it into download mode, and have not had any luck. Anyone out there have any knowledge on LG devices and how fastboot works and a way out of it?

Here is a picture of what I get when I plug the device into the computer

Flash stock recovery and reboot

Thanks for the replies... It has been a while since I have worked on android phones and never used the SDK... The most I have done is root custom recovery and custom rom. BUT I am going to give it my best shot and let you know how I make out.. Wish me luck! Downloading SDK now

Help Me!
I now have the G Flex back from my brother and I am still trying to get something out of it. So far I have no progress. I don't have much experience with CMD or the Development Kits so someone please try and help me with this. With some guidance I can probably do it.

i stiil dont get what to do
