Bricked?

My current situation:
Recovery does not work, when I try to enter it it gets frozen on the Google screen with the lock at the bottom.
When I try to go into the phone normally I receive an infinite error "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped".
My device is not being recognized as an ADB device so i cannot reinstall recovery (possibly USB debugging is disabled and cannot get to it).
How I got here, Used the Nexus RootToolkit v1.5 to unlock the bootloader/root the phone which worked fine except recovery was not working and the play market was gone for some reason. Did a variety of things to get it back with no avail and eventually got frustrated and tried a factory reset. Now I am in this perdicament :crying:
I came from a Samsung Galaxy and Odin was the universal tool to get the phone back even if it could not enter recovery or the phone, Is there anything like that that can fix the phone without entering recovery or the phone itself?

If you can get the device to recognize in fastboot you can flash the factory image for nakasi from here

How do you flash without entering recovery though?

Can you enter the bootloader? While the tablet is off, hold both volume buttons and the power button, and let go of only power after you see the Google logo. You should enter the bootloader. Download and decompress the factory image from the aforementioned link and open the flash-all file in Notepad to see the required fastboot commands. Use the corresponding command to flash the stock recovery back to your Nexus 7 and see if that fixes your issue. If your computer isn't recognizing your Nexus, install the Universal Naked Driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220. Good luck!

I installed the universal naked drivers with no problem. Sorry for the noob question but where do I input the commands in the flash-all file for the fastboot?

You need to have the Android SDK installed, open a command prompt, and cd to its directory and the tools folder. In there is the fastboot binary that allows you to run fastboot commands. For ease of execution, you can just install the SDK on the root of your C: drive or just copy the tools folder to wherever it was installed by default (/Program Files/Android/).

Bricked HTC One(writed recovery to boot partition)

Hello dear guru's =)
I have an HTC One international. Today i try to get root access and install custom recovery, whent i flash recovery i missed that chose a boot partition to install it. Now phone boots only into recovery, and from my PC, adb or fastboot don see it, but in usb devices its present.
Im on linux Ubuntu 13.04.
In phone dont have any backup.

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)

Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

you "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"? you may want to check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478438&page=3
if that doesn't help, post back

Guys, we have to check if he can boot in bootloader/fastboot.
So, @ZloY909, if you're in recovery, adb can recognize your phone?
And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?

ZloY909 said:
Has the same problem, flashed CWM Recovery to the boot partiotion. Can you give me more info about that magic what you are done to cennect your phone to fastboot? =)
Thanks.

fastboot shouldn't be affected.
when you connect your phone to the PC, does it the text in bootloader change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB"

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?

Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

[Q] 'No OS installed! Are you sure you want to boot?' How to reinstall android os?

I dont know much about this stuff (def not tech savvy), but I decided to take my bad esn Sprint HTC One (running 4.3) and try to unlock it myself. I was successful in unlocking the bootloader, and I even rooted the device on my own (woo!!!). I was on the last stage of finally unlocking the phone, so I decided to go for it.
I tried to follow these steps to finally unlock my HTC One, but I did not know how to go to /system/app to replace the files (The 'Root Reader' app didn't show /system/app in my phone).
://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840
The files were:
HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk
HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk
As a result, I tried to flash the copy files mentioned previously using this video as a guide
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhR4Je4I8yw
I dragged and dropped the copies into the 'system storage' (not into a specific file) and started wiping data in TWRP 2.6 (Im assuming I wiped something that I shouldnt have). However, now whenever I try to boot my HTC One out of TWRP, I get the 'No OS installed..." message and it just just keeps showing the white screen with the HTC logo when I do boot anyways. When I connect my HTC One to my PC via usb cable, it doesnt even show up. I decided to take a screen shot of my files/drives/etc that I used. When I click on the 'instal' button in TWRP, it no longer shows the 'android' folder while scrolling through the list of things. My phone also automatically shuts off when leaving it on idle (TWRP running) for a bit, it doesnt connect to my PC anymore too
What should I do to get the phone working again? Could I unlock it from here or do I have to backtrack or something? I have very little knowledge about this stuff so please try to explain things easily for me lol

You need to relock your phone and run a ruu and to reroot your phone with the latest version of twrp 2.6 .3.0 and supersu 1.9.1 I think but you can check that when you run the ruu in the app store real quick to see if it is the latest version.

On the PC download the RUU
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_348053_signed_2.exe
Connect USB cable to the phone to the PC (keep the phone connected until you are done)
1. Boot your phone to the bootloader (volume down and power on). Go to fastboot option on the phone menu.
2. Now using fastboot on your PC type fastboot oem lock
3. Boot your phone to the bootloader (volume down and power on). Go to fastboot option on the phone menu.
4. Now using fastboot on your PC type fastboot oem rebootRUU
5. Run the RUU that you downloaded. That will put your phone back to stock.
---------------------------------------
To unlock the bootloader:
1. Goto http://www.htcdev.com/ follow the steps.
Install custom recovery
2. Install TWRP. Download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7wls/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img put in in the same folder on your PC as your fastboot.exe command.
3. fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
4. reboot phone.
Install root:
download http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip?retrieve_file=1
copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip to the phone
Boot your phone to the bootloader (volume down and power on). Go to recovery option on the phone menu. That will boot into TWRP. Use the install and install the zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip.

How would I do that? I just installed the HTC 4.2.001 driver to my pc as well

HTC One M7 stuck entering recovery after installing Android revolution HD one 92.04a9

hey sorry I'm sure this has been covered but I've been trying to root my new phone for the past 15+ hours and after installing Android revolution HD one 92.04a9 through Team Win Recovery project v2.6.3.0 it now keeps restarting in recovery and then takes me to Recovery project after a htc logo screen.
This is the first time I have attempted to root a phone and I'm a noob evidently so please go easy on me. (all I wanted was to hook up my bluetooth controller so I can play FF7 with more ease) any help would be greatly appreciated as I've just moved from London to the middle of nowhere and I'm bored out of my mind without my beloved HTC
Thanks a lot Mr. Tickles

I am so frustrated with general support of HTC. I am trying to get in touch with service for two months and no luck. My next phone won't be HTC for sure, I know.

Try factory reset from twrp recovery and the flash again. Also you can try to download the zip of the ROM again to be sure it is downloaded correctly and try change the twrp version.

You are using an older version of twrp. Try updating it first to the latest version and try flashing your rom again
Get the latest one here
https://dl.twrp.me/m7/

But how do I do that if my phone wont appear in my computer any more?
Its 100% connected to my computer though because its appearing in devices printers but under the name android 1.0

You cannot enter in fastboot mode? If you can, then you flash recovery via fastboot

@istribo is right, to flash arhd you need at least twrp 2.6.3.3 or newer (latest version is 2.8.7.0) To update your recovery, make sure you have HTC drivers installed on your computer and also uninstall htc sync if its installed (but do not uninstall the drivers). Download your new twrp .img file from the link istribo posted above, save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer. Reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Open a terminal window from your adb/fastboot folder and use these commands to flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot in recovery and flash arhd.
Note that you should also have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware installed on your phone if flashing Android 5.0.2 Sense roms. You can know your firmware version with the command "fastboot getvar version-main"

My phone wont appear in my computer so how am I supposed to copy over the files...

sorry guys I'm going to need a step by step guide made for an idiot lol

If you press power button and volume down button it gets you into recovery. Then u choose fastboot and the you do what alray said.

right so the fact my phone wont appear in my computer doesn't matter then?

Okay sorry for being silly I've just read that properly. Problem is when I got to install adb/fast boot it says something like incorrect parameter 'sheppard'

Download the sdk tools here (fastboot and adb): https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Download and install HTC drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k7trah995whrw0d/HTC-Mobile-Driver_v4.16.0.001.exe
Connect your phone to a USB 2 port directly from your computer (no external usb hub, better to use back ports, not front ports)
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode by holding power and volume down. When in bootloader, make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption, if not select the "fastboot" option using the vol up/down and power key to enter. Once "fastboot" option is selected, make sure you now see the red "fastboot usb" caption.
Open a terminal window from your sdk tools folder
Type "fastboot getvar all" without the quotes en hit enter
copy paste the output here so we can see it (but do not post your IMEI/Serialno)
Then update your twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Sorry I forgot to say I got my phone all working and rooted! Thank you all so much for your help! wouldn't of done it without you guys.

Power button doesn't work, i'm stuck in bootloader recovery, how to reboot?!

So my power button stopped working a while back. Today I accidentally held the vol down long enough to enter the bootloader screen.
The screen has timed out, how can I reboot?

You will not be able to use adb commands, but you will be able to use fastboot commands. Fastboot reboot, specifically.

I can't get my computer (Win 10) to recognize the phone. In device manager it shows up as (Device descriptor request failed). When I open the Motorola Device Manager, it searches for updates and comes up with "There are no updates for your device" Current version: N/A.

Ok, so I put a pry tool between the power button and the screen to try to remove the back to get to the battery/button. While pressing into the power button the phone restarted! I guess it was enough to trigger the button.
Thanks for your help, I'm still going to try to get fastboot and adb working, might be easier now that phone is booted up.
