[Q] Trying to flash zip, now fastboot doesn't work

Hi Guys,
So I have successfully S-OFF'd my device using rumrunner, and I was then using the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 in order to flash my device to a Google Play Edition device.
It worked fine for the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-3.06.1700.10-rooted.zip
and then I got the expected error message. I then entered the same command again as instructed, but this time I got the message "waiting for device" which didn't go away.
I've tried rebooting my phone a few times, and I can no longer get any fastboot.exe commands to work, I just continuously get the "waiting for device"message. adb.exe still works correctly, so after rebooting my phone I can use adb to boot into fastboot (I know that's not the only way, I'm just saying it to demonstrate that adb appears to be fine) but after that no fastboot.exe commands work anymore.
My phone is running Software version 3.62.401.1. My Hboot I was very sure used to be 1.55 but now after that failed "fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-3.06.1700.10-rooted.zip" it now shows as HBOOT 1.54.
Thanks guys, any help would be immensely appreciated.

Try another computer? Also perhaps a different fast boot package?
Does the device show up in device manager when it boots in fastboot?

Trying another fast boot package didn't work, but a different computer did. Now I'm all set and ready to go thanks!
Just for the record, on the first computer my phone no longer showed up when I put in fastboot devices. I guess for some strange reason there's now a problem with the drivers on the first computer? I thought perhaps reinstalling HTC Sync would help that apparently not.
Anyways, that problem is solved until I want to do this again and want to use the first computer again.

[Q] Stuck in HBOOT loop

Hi,
I know that the boot loop scenario is pretty common, but my problem seems bizarre. I recently installed cyanogenmod successfully but I was unhappy with it so I decided to remove it and install a clean version of Sense 5.5. I obviously screwed up somehow.
The problem is that the phone doesn't want to boot up to the normal home screen. Whenever I power the phone on it automatically boots onto the FASTBOOT screen. From there I get a number of different problems, I shall list which options work and which do not; FASTBOOT works, RECOVERY does not (reboots back to FASTBOOT), FACTORY RESET does not work (reboots back to FASTBOOT), SIM LOCK does not work, IMAGE CRC works, SHOW BARCODE works.
When I use FASTBOOT USB I am unable to see my device on my computer also, so I am unable to look inside my SD card or use abd commands.
Here is what the top of HBOOT reads;
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04

It seems your boot loader has been relocked. It must have been unlocked for you to install cyanogenmod right?
Which method did you use to install a clean version of Sense? I'm not too familiar with running RUUs but if you want the phone to stay rooted then I would flash a new recovery using fastboot.

I'm running into a similar problem, my HTC One is just like yours, my computer doesn't even read it as a media device and says that there's something wrong (duh), tried running up ADB, redownloaded drivers and I still have no luck.

It must have been unlocked. I used ClockworkMod, I deleted the cache and then installed the Sense ROM from my SD card.
I tried to run a RUU but I couldn't because my phone is not being recognized by my computer.

You should be able to send commands to the phone using fastboot USB. Have you checked you have the correct drivers installed and correctly set it up? Tried using a different PC maybe?
Also try starting from scratch, deleting all the PC fastboot files and drivers and re-setup.
I've never had any problems with fastboot, it usually never fails.

Wow i'm a dumbass, completely forgot about fastboot commands. Will do that now to see if it fixes the problem.

Troubles with my HTC One Mini 2

Hey,
My phone is stuck in the fastboot mode, without any OS, nothing works... no Recovery ,...
S-ON, no-debugging usb, Bootloader locked and can't unlock him... I already tried with htc-dev, everything works but nothing appair on my screen to confirm the unlocking.
I'm really stuck, searched lot of things on google, ....
I used fastboot, and ADB, the first one recognize my device, but the last one not. I can't boot on RUU mode neither.
Any ideas?

The very first thing I recommend you to do, is to download the right recovery and install it via command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
Let me know if you run into any further troubles.

Hi,
Frist in boot loader check your OS version it should be something like 2.19.401.2 or lower than this.
NB: ALWAYS TRY WITH MORE THAN 75% BATTERY, AND THAT FOR ANY CODE TO WORK PROPERLY, MAKE SURE TO SELECT FASTBOOT BY POWER KEY IN BOOTLOADER
Anyway, if you can enter fastboot, then you have some chance of recovering your device and because you have S-Off it is going to be a bit difficult.
First download this stock boot file : https://mega.nz/#!lEAVwRSL!wrP2hi6GEYLeJaPf2ssZo9wCtSi7E4yfyUHgh3Q3XSs
Then place this file in the ADB folder, then run command :
To flash boot file command is:
Code:
- Fastboot Devices (this command is important to know if the device is connected and accepting and responding commands)
- fastboot flash boot boot_signed.mg (assuming this is the name you saved the file with)
- fastboot reboot bootloader
Also download Stock Recovery: https://mega.nz/#!gVJE1Bxa!6SwXStAD8p-XlnQiPkRcdNo_ITFD1ykn-tN6wIBVi1I
Place this in ADB folder and run command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stockrec.img // (assuming that is the name you have saved the file with), only after flashing this you will know if the device has any OS, if OS exists it will boot up.
fastboot erase cache
Attempt and let us know how it went...Good Luck

corrupted emmc ?

firstly, sorry for bad english.
i get desire 500 single sim (z4u) from a friend that hangs on htc splash screen. it can get to bootloader and on info screen stand
z4u pvt s-on
hboot 1.03.0001
radio 14.16.36q4.22
os 1.34.401.1
phone can`t boot up and can`t go to recovery and can`t perform factory reset (instantly back to bootloader).
i manage to unlock bootloader over htcdev and now it is unlocked and that fastboot command is accepted by phone.
phone is recognised by pc and fastboot on xp, 7 and 10.
then problems begins . phone is recognised by adb and fastboot but wont execute any fastboot command. it start execute but always failed like (too many links, or something else).
only command that is executed is oem var for info.
i cant even relock bootloader ( failed too many links) to try RUU.
i don`t know what can be problem.

Your phone is dead. Yes failed emmc.
First, if you managed to unlock the phone it means some of the fastboot commands could be executed.
Second, i have been having the same problems even tho i found the correct rom and everything to revive my phone nothing ever worked correctly. After reading and apllying countless things i had the conclusion that the emmc is either corrupt or needs to be reprogrammed or something.
Since the phone is an old one no one is going to help more about our problem.
Consider using that phone as a flashlight or you might also consider replacing the mainboard only.
Regards.

Question [Fixed] ASUS logo stucks on recovery, only access to bootloader

Hi all,
I'm encountering a very annoying issue with my brand new Zenfone 8.
I wanted to install the last LineageOS image, but now my phone seems stuck.
Here are what I did:
- Unlocked the bootloader: success with the ASUS APK after a few tries (error 11000 and 11006 ans eventually worked).
- Rebooted to bootloader
- Entered into recovery
- Used fastboot to flash the vendor partition.
At this point, everything looked OK. But then.... :
- Powered off the phone and restarted to bootloader.
- Tried to enter into recovery to flash the Lineage Recovery
But at this point, I had a ASUS logo stucked on the screen.
I can't do anything with adb or fastboot commands.
I tried the method explained here (https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-13-Beta/) to rollback to stock Android 12, but nothing happened too: I looked at the shell script (I'm on Linux) and I reckon that it stucks on fastboot command (the phone is in the bootloader).
Any idea about what failed? The last command used (vendor partition flash) said "OKAY".
And especially, what can I do now? Any way to reinstall the ASUS recovery?
Thanks in advance guys.

Not quite sure what your status is if you say "can't do anything with adb or fastboot commands". I've flashed Zenfones a couple of times (my household has 3 Zenfone 8's on LineageOS) and I had one that went into ramdump. I recovered from that using fastboot to manually reflash all 19 firmware partitions, in both slots. That got the phone out of ramdump, and I got to continue the upgrade to the new LineageOS. So: if you can boot to the fastboot environment, then that would be a road that might leaed you out. But if you can't even get a response to the command "fastboot devices" then I don't know of a course of action for you.

To use fastboot commands I had to run the phone into bootloader mode, then to "recovery" and eventually "fastboot" (I'm note 100% sure but it's what I remembered).
Without that, I was unable to use any fastboot commands like device or flash.
And now the issue is that I'm not able to go to recovery/fastboot again, because I have just the ASUS logo and nothing else.
It looks like that the stock recovery was dead, but I don't know why - and I don't know how to fix/reset it.

From the bootloader you should be able to flash the raw image again, it should flash everything

Good to know - but with which commands/tools?
As I said, I was unable to use fastboot commands from my computer on the Zenfone bootloader.
On the bootloader page, I just have "waiting for devices" and noting else. I had to go into the recovery > fastboot to make the commands work.

On Linux and maybe macs too you need to run fastboot commands as Root (sudo fastboot devices) for example. The raw image script should ask you for your Root password for this reason

Yes I know - I well used sudo for all commands.
The ASUS script asks me for password but then does absolutely nothing - not even a print. I waited a few minutes and finally canceled.
For you, fastboot commands should work on the bootloader screen? (I ask that because the script starts by a fastboot command).

Yes, they work from the bootloader, I always run the script from the BL too. Ironically, I had issues running fastboot commands from fastbootd for installing Omnirom, so I did it all in the bootloader and all worked fine.
I am not sure I can help you more at this point, it looks like it maybe got interrupted mid flashing and now something is wrong somewhere. Maybe if you look inside the bash script file you can find the command that it got stuck on and run that manually if you manage to get fastboot command access.

Strange - they have never worked from the bootloader. I tried that before according to the LineageOS wiki. I thought it was a mistake and use the recovery > fastboot to do that. I dont like that - I hope it's not a local version of the Zenfone or something like that.
I'm not at home tonight but yes I'll try to find commands not requiering the fastboot command.

Unfortunately all commands from the script are using fastboot. And as "fastboot devices" sees nothing, I can't do anything.
I've tried from the bootloader screen (with start, recovery, poweroff option) - from the start screen showing unlocked bootloader warning and from the ASUS logo when I try to start the recovery. I've tried the commands/scripts with Linux and Windows: same result.
So :
- I can't use any fastboot commands.
- I don't have the ASUS recovery.
Speaking of the ASUS recovery, I've found screenshots on internet and they don't have a "fastboot" submenu (I'm not sure it's a Zenfone 8). May had I a different version?
I don't like that. If I don't have others option, I guess that the warranty doesn't work because the phone is unlocked?

I eventually found a solution! I've tried with my old OnePlus cable and fastboot commands start working from the bootloader screen.
I have no idea why my other cable was faulty (it can charge the phone and executes commands from the Recovery > Fastboot menu - but not on the BL screen).
Anyway my problem is now fixed.
Thanks all for help and support.
