[Q] ***TAMPERED*** ***UNLOCKED*** Phone stuck in bootloader - HTC One Mini 2

Hi,
Today i attempted to unlock my phones bootloader and flash TWRP (twrp-2.8.1.0-20142812-memul). I unlocked it fairly easily using the htc.dev website but encountered an issue when trying to flash the Recovery. The phone is stuck in the bootloader with the message ***TAMPERED*** ***UNLOCKED*** showing at the top. I cannot get off this and every attempt to get into the phone, such as by clicking on Reboot or holding the POW+VOL UP+VOL DOWN buttons, has failed, simply dumping me back on the bootloader homescreen. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
Kind regards
James

Try re-flashing recovery from fastboot on your pc, I would even try redownloading the recovery just to be sure you didn't get a corrupted copy previously, also clear cache after flashing recovery.
The tampered message is normal so just ignore that.
You can even try rebooting boot loader and or recovery using fastboot commands, just search fastboot commands on Google and you'll find a list of relevant commands.

I had that issue according to my version of TWRP. Try it with 2.8.5.0. After i re-flashed it with that, all worked fine. Give me feedback if you could solve it.

agh well after ages of trying different methods nothing worked. Even took it to my local phone shop who do software tweaks and recovery, the guy told me the entire Android OS had been removed...? Gave up and bought a new phone, thank you guys for trying anyway <3

[Q] Stuck in HBOOT/FASTBOOT Menu

Hey guys,
So randomly my phone decided to just turn off (it was just idle on the home screen) and when I booted it back up it was in the Fastboot Menu.
I've tried reboot and even factory reset but neither work they just bring the phone right back to this when I turn it on anyone got any tips for me I'm hoping there's a really simple solution I have naively overlooked.
The screen says
***LOCKED*****
***Security Warning*******
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.03.0000
RADIO-3831.19.00.19_M
eMMC-boot
A few months back I used a RUU to manually update to ICS and everything went fine and I had been running it fine for a long time so I'm not sure if that impacted on this in any way at all.
Anyway since this happened I've tried the old turning it off and on, battery out for an hour, sim out/sd out etc
Also the following:
I've tried running the RUU again but I get error 170 as it gets stuck at "waiting for bootloader" after it reboots the phone at the start of the process
(Tried in all my USB ports, reinstalling drivers/HTC Sync, using original cable)
I tried flashing from my SD card, it reads the zip and asks would you like to update but after I click yes it goes for a few seconds and then says "Partition Update Failed" and prompts me to reboot. (Tried multiple sd's)
I tried to unlock the phone using the HTCDev unlock, however once I get my token and use it to get to the unlock screen on the phone I am unable to select yes my phone simply does not acknowledge the option when I press the power button it instead vibrates a few times and then inevitably I end up selecting the No option after much frustration.
I should probably mention that fastboot lists my device under devices but adb does not.
I would have tried making a goldcard but I currently cannot obtain my CID through adb nor by using readcid.exe with my laptop card reader.
So if anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated as I don't have a warranty on this or anything and HTC support were of exceedingly little help.

Yeah I had a look at that before, I hadn't unlocked my phone before with htcdev but even then when I did try I was able to get my token and run the command and everything perfectly fine and even it takes me to the "Would you like to unlock your phone?" screen on my phone but I am unable to select the yes option and complete the final step which is the frustrating part.

U will need to Downgrade your device from ICS to GB or anything else ...At times it can be Windows 8 ,8.1 issue also ...The driver are still messed up search the forum u will find working way to get driver's work ..Error(170) which means your phone is blank to flash image to boot from or Os for starters..Can u boot in bootloader (Y) then simply working your way via CMD (windows 7 if u can access). It says RELOCKED on your device(Security warning can you paste a screen snap) .
1:- Flash a recovery(if yes skip this)
2:- boot into boot bloader (install any rom via recovery)
3:- flash boot.img manually (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
If it does not work REunlock ur device via htcdev.com
If you were trying to downgrade is HBoot Version (the same issue might happen)
Take stuff's real slow (make sure u do have correct driver installed on your pc )

Hard Reset Not Working

Lately my phone has been rebooting itself quite a bit. It seems to be getting progressively worse to the point where if I open any app for more than a minute or two then my phone will reboot. I've tried uninstalling quite a few third party apps but that didn't do the trick. Whenever I try to do a hard reset (whether it's through settings or the HBOOT menu) the phone will shut down and then instead of getting the picture of a phone with the green thing in the middle and a status bar below that indicating the phone is resetting, I get a picture of a phone with a red symbol similar to a hazard sign that will last for about 30 seconds then the phone just boots back up to my home screen. I had put an incorrect custom ROM on this phone about 5-6 months ago but I was able to get the stock Sprint ROM back on the phone and relock the boot loader and the phone functioned fine ever since up until about a week ago when it started rebooting randomly. I have a feeling this may be part of the reason why the factory reset is not working. Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed? Can I do a factory reset by pushing a ROM to the phone through my computer?
If u are s-off then I suggest u download the ruu and run it. If s-off all u have to do is go to hboot and select fast boot and run the program it will reset the phone back to whatever software version it is for the ruu. If your not s-off you will need to get the ruu that matches your firmware. That should fix your troubles if not then you have something faulty with the hardware itself

Ok I am S-ON and here is what I am trying to do. I downloaded the RUU that matches my phone current software from the link below and placed the file in the platform-tools folder after renaming it. When I run the fastboot oem rebootRUU command in the cmd prompt, my phone just reboots rather than booting to the black screen with the silver HTC logo. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Ok I tried that RUU yesterday and couldn't seem to get anywhere because I kept getting error 170 (tried updating drivers, installing HTC sync, etc). Tried again today and got error 170 again, so then I went in my bootloader, then fastboot, connected USB cable, fastboot usb. I then ran the RUU and it said it was going to update my phone. The status bar then said "Waiting for bootloader" and my phone just rebooted itself to the home screen and then I got like error 171 or something (another USB error). I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. I believe something is wrong with my recovery or I have some sort of bug because I attempted to flash a custom recovery today (TWRP) but when I unlocked my bootloader, I restarted the phone and entered my bootloader again but it still said relocked (even though the prompt on my phone came up giving me the warnings asking if I was sure I wanted to unlock the bootloader) so when I run the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img I get something along the lines of can't read twrp.img or can't open twrp.img (yes I made sure the file is in the same folder that I am running the adb out of). Willing to try any recommendations at this point because my phone is pretty useless as of right now because it restarts every couple minutes. HTC wants $150 to fix it which I told them I'm not willing to pay, rather buy a new phone.

[Q] HTC ONE M7 - Can't unlock bootloader after it is relocked

i have searched high and low for help on this one and can't find anything similar.... Though I found one thread that suggests I attempt the HTVDEV unlock code 5 times in a row.. Which did not work.
I returned my phone to stock several weeks ago. Locked the boot loader (see pic#1) Then I had something weird happen , where The phone rebooted to a "enter password to decrypt"??? I never encrypted my phone. So I read the only way around this was to do a factory reset. So, I rebooted the phone into bootloader and attempted a factory reset. The phone then rebooted and is frozen on the HTC splash screen. See pic#3
I have attempted to unlock the bootloader so I can flash a good recovery (which I cannot access, then will just reboot)
So basically I only have access to fastboot. When I plug in the phone into windows, I cannot access through ADB. (Same thing in Linux)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Have you attempted an RUU?

Yeah and all you can do from fastboot with those restrictions is, erase cache. Erase it like 3 times in a row and see if it works, who knows. I flashed cwm recovery which sometimes gets me into recovery, like 1 out of 10 recovery flashes. then you are allowed to finally use adb commands

HTC Desire 510 can't do anything with it. Stuck

So here's the story... this is an HTC Desire 510 purchased from Telus here in Canada. I've been messing around with different kernels, ROMs, etc. None of them really worked well for me, so I decided to go back to stock, unlock and try to sell it. Now I'm stuck at the bootloader and I can't figure out what to do. I tried to re-lock the bootloader so I could flash the stock ROM (those were the instructions I read)...
Whenever it boots, it gets to the recovery screen. ("Fastboot USB" / HBOOT) it says *Tampered* and *Relocked* at the top.
Then, when I try to unlock it with Unlock_code.bin (I have tried every method available), and say "Yes", I get the Fastboot USB screen with an overlay that says - at the top: Entering Recovery...
at the bottom it says: This build is for development purposes only, etc.
Then it just stays there until I remove the USB cable and the battery.
I reboot and I get the same thing every time.
Is there any way to fix this? I've tried many an adb command with no avail. I'm ready to throw this thing into the river.

What you need to do first of all is find an RUU for your device and then find the original recovery, not the twrp recovery but the actual recovery that was on the phone when you first got it. If you don't flash the original recovery then the RUU will refuse to continue and that's basically HTC's way of trying to prevent us from breaking the phone.. The unlock code you got from HTC you should have kept and whenever you sell the phone pass it along to the new owner.. So to help you understand everything I said first unlock your bootloader again and then flash the original recovery and then lock the bootloader again then run the RUU on the PC.. Some times you have to run the RUU a few times to finally get it to finish completely cause some times it'll hang and just sit there so just end the process and restart it but before ending it be sure you gave it enough time to try before thinking it's stuck because it may not be... After the RUU finishes, the phone will totally be stock again the same way it was the day you bought it..

HTC or Telus don't provide a RUU for the Telus version of the phone so I've been trying the Cricket version, doesn't work. It gives me the message: ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
There is some russian website that seems to have it for Telus, but you have to pay to access it, and I don't even know if it's what I need. ir-file.com (I can't post links)
So I'm not going down that rabbit hole.
I can't flash any recovery I find...
"fastboot getvar platform" gives me hTCBmsm2886
"fastboot flash recovery (*.img)" gives me a message saying FAILED (remote: signature verify fail) for every single recovery image I can find. Nothing works.

Did you try to reflash twrp? If I was in your predicament I'd flash twrp and then there is a rom that I configured to work great on the 32 bit phones it's the Modded CM11 and I'm pretty sure it'll work on yours albeit the cameras aren't working yet at least it's a start and you can find the CM11 I configured here ----> Modded CM11

That is after I type in the C:\adb\ folder "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-a11.img"
and every other recovery image I can find, including older versions of TWRP.
This is why I'm frustrated, nothing works. If I could flash a ROM that'd be cool, but I can't get out of the bootloader, I can't even get into recovery.

I need you to type everything you see on your HBoot screen when you pull the battery and put it back in and then hold the volume down button and then press the power button at the same time and when the screen comes up type everything you see in here so I can see it... I think the reason you're getting the remote signature failure is because the bootloader is still locked and you have to make sure it really is unlocked.. Try that then get back to me.
Yeah, the bootloader is still locked. here's what it says:

Well if you had the boot unlocked before, why can't you send the unlock_code.bin to it and have it unlock again? Or did you lose the key? Because you're supposed to keep that key.. Did you use some sort of program to try and root the phone? Like them 1 click root apps...

Go download this to a computer/laptop whatever and connect the phone to it and try to run this RUU on the PC while the phone is connected to it and turned on in HBoot/fastboot... Do this before trying to unlock the boot again and if it hangs try it again because some times it can take 3 or 4 tries to get it to work...

Edit: I know you said your carrier is Telus and I know that's a Cricket RUU that I listed, but they are both the same so run it!!
Edit again: Never mind don't bother running the RUU because you're not s-off and you can't change your CID so I suggest you find a way to unlock your bootloader again somehow and then flash the CM11 to test out.

I have the unlock_code.bin, I've been trying to send it to the phone but it doesn't work. I've tried the WinDroid app and the command line "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin" and I get to the screen that asks if I want to unlock the bootloader, but when I select "Yes" it hangs and sticks on that screen, but at the top it says: "Entering Recovery..." and at the bottom it says "This build is for development purposes only", etc.
If I can't flash anything then I'm guessing it's perma-bricked... :/

Right it hung there because there was no recovery flashed so right after you unlock that no matter what just flash twrp to it the second after you tap yes to unlock the bootloader send the recovery to it.

as soon as I hit the "Yes" option on the "Unlock bootloader?" screen, it tries to go into recovery. And it's instant. There is no window where I can flash the recovery - I've tried it multiple times.
So I can't unlock it and I can't flash a recovery.

You are supposed to be unlocking it from a PC and flashing the recovery from the PC also not trying to flash the recovery from the phone you cant do that unless the phones working.. Don't you have minimal ADB and Fastboot installed on a Windows PC?

Endless bootloop, I need help!

Hi, guys. Yesterday I decided to change my phone's firmware, so I flashed a LineageOS ROM. Of course, I have unlocked the bootloader. And everything was fine. But I always wanted to use Android Pay, so I've decided to relock bootloader to make it work. And now I have so called "Red State":
"Your device has failed verification and may not work properly".
And then, the loading stops. No effect. Just this screen.
But the main problem is that I don't have any access neither to recovery, erecovery or fastboot.
Any key combination makes no good, the phone just boots to this screen.
I've tried to drain the phone's battery and plug it into computer, but it didn't make any good.
Is there any way to recover my phone? Or it's already a hopeless brick? Please, help me, I've spent two whole days on it.
why you lock bootloader when it has wrong recovery? you should have had installed stock recovery before locking device.

you should do alot of research before using ADB and flashing things :/
Try connecting usb to phone (don't connect with pc yet)
Press volume up button
Now connect to pc.
See if u are able to boot to fastboot.
Unlock BL, and your phone will boot to recovery on its own
Reboot
