this is what i tried to do: wanted to flash a new rom from my original froyo. read through the guide and got it rooted and installed rom manager and in turn installed recovery. booted into recovery and made a backup. tried installing a rom but it wouldnt let me so at the end installed RA recovery instead. i was able to flash a different rom. mpw tried to boot to recovery to get stock rom it display just the android and exlamation mark.
i can get into bootloader but in recovery wont show a thing as if it lost the recovery program.
tried installing sdk but adb wont see the phone.
SDK version 9, windows vista
Any ideas?
You have the stock recovery...
Read the wiki. Follow the guide for unroot/restore, using passimg method and FRG33. Start again rooting (though you probably want to read a bit more first, and make sure you can connect via adb and fastboot BEFORE you mess with stuff)...

issue is i cant connect through adb or fastboot since i dont have the debug mode before it all went
You don't need adb or fastboot to follow the unroot/restore guide. I was simply suggesting that you make sure it works before you try and root again.
Unroot/restore.
Get adb and fastboot working.
Play with phone.

how can i get adb/fastboot working. i went through the guide and dozens of other websites.
adb doesnt see a phone connected even though under device manager it shows an android device.
Install the drivers when in fastboot mode, and you'll have fastboot. It's not adb.
fastboot won't help you unless your bootloader is unlocked. adb you won't get, unless you install a ROM and enable debug, or install a custom recovery - which, again, you won't be able to install without unlocked bootloader. adb doesn't work in bootloader mode, you should have found that in at least one of the "dozen guides".
So, you have 2 options:
1) you have unlocked bootloader or you want to unlock bootloader - in that case, enter the bootloader, connect usb, install fastboot drivers, install custom recovery with fastboot.
2) you don't want to unlock bootloader - then follow the correct advice given to you in danger-rat's posts above.

ok problem solved and thanks. all along the dll file for fastboot was in platform-tools instead of tool within the sdk hence why fastboot never worked. unlocked the bootloader and recovered my old image. incase anyone else have this issue.
thanks
Hey so I currently have an unlocked bootloader and I try to flash a custom recovery via fastboot yet it hangs on < waiting for device > every time.
I have followed the cyanogen mod wiki step by step. It hangs on clockwork and amon RA. USB debugging is enabled. When I boot into recovery it says fastboot I then connect it to my computer it says fastboot USB.
I'm sure it will be some little setting that's wrong. I am currently running 2.3.4 stock, no root so rom manager is a no go.
I guess what I'm asking is does anyone know what I can do to flash a custom recovery?
Have you tried "fastboot devices" to make sure you have a connection?
What kind of computer are you using (Win/Mac/Linux)?
Fastboot devices gives an empty line the a new terminal line.
Also I'm running win 7.
My initial suggestion would be to update your drivers for fastboot. I have had this happen a couple times and a driver update resolved it for me.

That means your phone is not connected. Update the drivers, as suggested above...
Much appreciated I will try this when I get home tonight.
Hope I can find some help as I ran into what seems to be a pretty serious issue. I haven't been able to find any steps that gets my phone back into booting the actual OS, so posting my specific problem seems to be the only option. A lot of thanks for anyone that can possibly help.
So, followed these instructions to root my phone and get it ready for installing a new ROM, but got stuck at instruction 18.
Which says: (a few before too)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img (I used recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img)
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
Once I did that, I restarted my phone and it loaded up clockwork recovery screen. This seemed fine, but every time I clicked to restart system it keeps on putting me back to this screen.
* I've tried clearing cache and booting, creating a backup and restoring and booting,
* I've got to the bootloader of the OS, but when I go to recovery, it brings me back here.
* I can't connect via the terminal w/ adb or fastboot as it complains it can't connect to device or just waiting for device.
* Neither the Android File Manager nor HTC Sync Manager can connect.
* I've tried only having one application installed for file management hoping that it's just a conflict, but to no avail.
* Can't use an sdcard load since there's no sdcard
* Trying a sideload doesn't work because I can't connect to the device.
I'm afraid I bricked my phone. I hope someone can offer some suggestions.
Again, thank you for your time.

You can't reboot into bootloader with a longpress of Power + Vol- button under a strong light?
I can get there, to bootloader by using the power and volume down, but no matter what option i pick it gets me back to clockworkmod. I've tried connecting then via terminal, but still nothing. Pretty frustrating.
In fastboot with the command:
Code:
fastboot devices
you can't see your phone?
If yes, flash the latest TWRP/CWM, do an erase cache and flash or sideload a rom
Right, nothing is output w/ that. Neither in bootloader or clockworkmod screen.
You've the right driver installed?
And, in device manager you can see your phone without any yellow triangle?
p.s. are you using windows, right?
Forgot to mention that, I'm on a Macbook Pro.
So Fastboot flash different recovery does not work?
When you where in recovery, did you flash any new ROM?

So you have to add a
Code:
./
before the fastboot/adb command.
In fastboot type:
Code:
./fastboot devices
and check if you can see your device

Thanks for the command... sadly it just says waiting for device. The core problem it seems now is that my computer won't recognize the USB connection for this device.
I think I just found out what I did wrong
instead of running this:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
I ran this:
/fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
based on command history. Crap.

Yeah, I know, only way you can get the whole process working is by adding ./ or if you wanted to put it on your $PATH variable, but that would be pointless.
Well your op says you attempted to do backups and restore, so you obviously seem to have CWM installed.

Yeah, it's installed. Just I think now because it was put on as a boot vs recovery it's treating it as the OS, possibly, so when I try to boot the system,it just boots CWM. The OS is there though, if I do a backup you can see all the files (especially proprietary stuff from HTC) still on the drive. But w/o access to it via terminal I don't know if there's a way to fix the boot problem. I can get to the bootloader,if I only it could mount to my computer from there (or even in CWM). Access to the phones drive seems to be the only way to clean it up.

As I gathered from your description, you are using a MAC.
I think you should use your friends PC to use the command to install the recovery and see if it solves the problem.
Alternatively you can use Heimdall Terminal fir MAC, which is sort of ODIN for MAC and try to reinstall your firmware.

I can use virtual box now... i'll give it a try.
I use Mac as well and I ran into same connectivity problems as you do, but it was not during unlocking, rooting.. I had a Bootloop going with some mods conflicts, anyway, not important. I used my missus win 7 laptop and there it would see it and I could fix my problems there. Mac has had issues with SdK not working.
Alas, do run the Fastboot flash recovery command if you get it talking, as you temporarily can access CWM before flashing it permanently.

I have a similar problem
My specs:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT 1.44 UNLOCKED
RADIO 1.00.20.0626
OpenDSP v31.120.274.0617
eMMC-boot

TWRP v2.6.3 - working correctly
I have no backup and no ROM on my phone
I can access HBOOT just fine via power + vol down
Team Win Recovery also seems to function properly
My phone is not listed under adb devices
and the worst of all, my phone won't connect to my PC!!
Here is the problem,
I got bored with my stock ROM, so I decided to try CyanogenMod 10.1. Having installed a few ROMs in the past, I felt comfortable tampering with the software on my HTC One (Sprint). I first had clockworkmod flashed and I booted to HBOOT and wiped everything I had an option to wipe. I fear this was my mistake, I also did not create a backup prior to my tampering. After wiping my phone with clockwork, I tried moving the Cyanogen zip to my phone. This is when I noticed my phone would not connect to the PC. I tried different PC's and cords. I am using USB 2.0 and the laptop even makes a ding noise when I enter fastboot usb. My phone is not listed in C: drive, device manager, or adb devices.
I now have flashed TWRP and made sure all my drivers are up to date. I installed HTC Sync Manager, which can not find my phone. I tried to send the cyanogen zip to my phone via fastboot flash zip cm-10.1.3-m7spr.zip. This failed to pass signature verification test. I thought being unlocked bypassed the sig check but I guess not. I tried to gain S-OFF using revone. I couldn't send revone to my phone either. I also tried installing the stock ruu. I got my phone to the black HTC screen and ran the ruu.exe and whammo! ERROR [155] UNKNOWN ERROR...
I'm looking for a way to move my rom zip file to my phone so I can install via TWRP. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

I once had a similar problem with my samsung abd tried this ..
1. Remove sd card from your phone.
2. Put the sd card in a card reader and copy your firmware on sd card through yout pc
3. Refit the sd card in your phone
4. Flash firmware through recovery.
I hope this helps.

I'm struggling to install Beanstalk on my 4X HD and I'm just so tired right now...
I somehow managed to unlock bootloaer via lock-relock app (in hidden menu, BL test shows "unlock" so I guess that's ok?)
I have root - well, I wouldn't be able to unlock BL without it...
And now, to install Beanstalk I need to flash CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523732
But to flash CWM I need to set up fastboot drivers and there's the problem :/
With the simple app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 - adb works ok, with "adb devices" it shows my device, but "fastboot devices" doesn't work at all. And I've read that there's this way to make fastboot working on Windows 8.1 - http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81/ - but it doesn't work as well...
There's too much things... Dis I miss something? Maybe there's a faster and easier way to install Beanstalk? What do I have to do to get KitKat flavour on my O4X? :laugh:
You can flash recovery via adb or terminal emulator
I have the same problem, you should try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934....
I updated drivers while i unlocking bootloader by toolkit, you start toolkit, go unlock bootloader before that you check usb debugging, than follow instruction in toolkit, than phone will reboot and enter in donwloading mode(for bootloader unlock) go right click on This PC, Properties, Device manager, and you will see fastboot. And than just update driver... Right click on fastboot and Update Driver Software, navigate to the file and thats it....
Fastboot driver Download: http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/67020672/file.html
You will need winzip for this.
You can install cwm via this rootkit and later you just update with rom manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
I flashed recovery straight from my phone using a terminal emulator, no need to connect it to a computer. I can't remember the command though.

Hi, this is my first post on this forum.
At the beginning I'm sorry for bad English, I am using the translator.
I have a lenovo k3 note and everything worked as it should have, until it returned from China (I sent it there, then I received a reply that the screen is damaged, do I decided to fix it here, in Poland).
Currently, I cannot install CWM or TWRP. I tried to do it in many different ways. When the phone turned off, I hold volume buttons and power, but then it showed me a message at the bottom of the screen: fastboot mode.
I tried to install twrp or CWM using adb commands. I was just trying to run recovery using commands. I also tried different versions of recovery using flashtool and the result was the same. Three buttons and a message about fastboot mode.
I can install new rom using only flashtoola and I did it. I currently have K50a40_S427_160518_ROW, android 6.0.
I read somewhere that I can have a locked bootloader. I tried the command fastboot oem unlock by adb but it did not work.
Please give me a hint or tell me what to do step by step, and I will still try to properly install twrp.
Thank you in advance.
