rooted, unlocked but no fastboot? - Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my 626s rooted, unlocked, S-Off, but when I reboot to bootloader I don't have the option for Fastboot. Not sure as to why? I searched online for an answer but found nothing to help me. I also noticed when I go to Settings-Power there is no option to turn off fastboot. My 626s is a Metro PCS version on 5.1. Can anyone help me with this?

I think fastboot is like download mode if I'm not mistaken. Works thru adb

Ok I'll try download mode. Thanks for the reply, not a lot of people seem to know about this phone or don't want help those of us with questions. lol

Worked great! Did not realize that HTC changed fastboot mode to download mode.

[Q] Cannot boot into bootloader or recovery

Hello guys
So, here's the deal. Few months back, I messed up my One and got it stuck at the grey HTC Screen. Couldnt boot into system, because I guess there was no ROM on the device. Thanks to you guys here at XDA, I got the situation analyzed and took the device to an HTC Service Center who told me to get my motherboard replaced. That was way too costly, so I got it JTAGed. The device now boots into ROM, but it cant boot into the bootloader. So I cant unlock the bootloader, S-OFF, Root or anything.
I can only boot into ROM. Can anyone please explain why this is so and what can I do to get my bootloader and recovery back.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply..i was out of town..
I tried adb and manually pressing power+down..but to no avail.
I figured it out in the end though...i dont know what happened but the device suddenly went into the bootloader one day and now its working fine.
I have a question..
My device has been jtagged. Its now bootloader locked, unrooted, s on.
Is it dangerous for me to try to unlock and s off and flash a new rom?
Can a device be flashed after its been jtagged? Im sorry I dont have much experience with jtag.
Thanks!

[Q] HTC One - Stuck at white screen

Hello there,
My HTC is not starting up since an firmware update this week (mobile phone provider: Hi/KPN in the Netherlands). I do not know which firm update it was. I have not rooted, unlocked, flashed or made any other kind of customization on my phone. After the firmware update the mobile phone restarted itself and immediately got stuck on the white screen with the text HTC One and beatsaudio. Rebooting the phone has the same results. So I tried the bootloader (HBOOT-1.57.0000) in order to use 'factory reset' and 'recovery', but both options don't do anything.
Can anyone tell me which options I have left in order to repair my HTC One by myself? I would really appreciate your help!
Greetings,
Ivo

is your phone still under warranty?
Do you have adb/fastboot on your computer? if yes post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except your imei and serialno
I have the same problem with a verizon htc one
Cannot find device
I installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but it cannot find the device while the mobile phone is switched off or in HBOOT-modus. Probably because debugging is turned off? Is there another way in which I can provide you the information you need?
I have a repair service, but than it will take three weeks before I will see my phone back. That is why I wanted to manually reinstall the software. Is that still possible?

Usb debugging is only required for adb commands while the phone is booted to Android os.
Fastboot commands should work with the bootloader in fastboot mode regardless of usb debugging. Make sure your drivers are installed correctly and the bootloader is in fastboot mode not hboot mode.
You need to provide the getvar as requested by @alray, or we don't know what software is safe to recommend for you :good:

How to root the HTC Desire 510

Okay guys and gals,
Today I'm gonna be giving you some directions on how to root the HTC Desire 510.
Steps:
1. What your gonna need is your phone, a usb, and a pc. (I used my xperia z as my pc)
2 Your gonna need to download [THIS]. This is the recovery image your gonna need. Just download that and put the file in a folder on your desktop or somewhere you'll remember.
3. Next your gonna want to reboot your phone into fastboot and connect it to your pc.
4. Next on your pc pull up cmd. (search cmd in the start menu) and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes and hit enter. If it shows your device your ready to move on.
5. Now your going to want to change your directory to where the image you downloaded is with a command similar to this "cd C:\users\xxx\desktop\recovery folder". Next rename the image to something simple like flash.img and type this into cmd "fastboot flash recovery flash.img" after doing that you should be able to boot into twrp from the hboot menu on your device.
6. Next on your computer download the su binary zip here. After downloading it reboot your device and copy it to your internal storage and reboot back to your recovery. Then in your recovery go find the supersu-v2.16.zip and flash it then reboot normally. Your device should now be rooted.
Thanks for all your help

I did do that I tried multiple times. Also when I try to run the fastboot from HTC site it keeps telling me something about missingadbapi.dll
2858
Worked like a charm. Much appreciated
Many Thanks! Phone Rooted! but i had 1 question whats the difference between this recovery.img(10,594kb) and the one on twrp website which is 10,480kb in size. just wondering? thanks
This worked great for me, thanks! It was my first root ever, and I had some guidance along the way, but this thread as well as the one to unlock the bootloader were very useful. The only snag was HTC took forever to email me the key.
Thanks again!

is there a way to get s-off yet?

I am reading that this seems to work on HTC Desire 510 devices however I know that Boost Mobile had its own little version of the HTC Desire 510 with the model number 0PCV1 and ive read a lot of threads stating that it was unable to be rooted. So before I started to touch anything I was wondering if this for sure will work with my HTC Desire 510 with model number 0PCV1. Thanks.
Have Boost HTC 510 OPCV1 and I'm unlocked and rooted. Only downside is the unlock threw it to s-on and it says tampered in hboot.

Okay well its good to know rooting is possible. However the downside sounds iffy to me, I guess since Ive never rooted an android device yet. I have previously jailbreak'd an iPhone 5c on iOS 8.1
Does the s-on effect anything? And what about the hboot flagging as tampered?
The downsides is really nothin. I'm on the 510 right now so hope this explains it pretty well: htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process

[Q] Nexus 6 LOCKED - TWRP installed, and running??

I attempted to flash and unroot my Nexus 6 via Wugfresh's tool, and thought it was a success. I hit 'relock' and now the device is bootloader locked with no OS installed.
However, I can connect via fastboot so far, but I am not very good with it. I think I may also be able to push files, but when I attempted to flash SlimLP the device just reset.
TWRP is still present on the device, but I cannot unlock my bootloader without getting a ROM on there... So I am stuck...
I need to mail this phone back in tomorrow for cracked screen, so I am hoping someone can help me. Thank you.

First check here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
Get the sdk tools and once set up, see if you can do adb devices and have the phone show up on the PC, if so, do adb push (name of rom file) then boot to twrp and install. If that doesn't work, check the same page above (since you don't have an OS not sure what would happen) try the unlock instructions for fastboot ( I would wait for someone else to comment before trying this). You might want to message this user http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2872010 rootSU and see if he can give guidance, he has lots of experience.
Locked Bootloader
I still can't seem to get past the fact that my bootloader is locked...
Thanks though.

Try this: Reboot to bootloader, select recovery mode, enter TWRP, mount MTP and push/sideload and flash a flashable image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...tboot-t3066052.
Flashing
Hey, thanks for the tip.
The link you sent was dead, and can you help me understand the commands for flashing in ADB with a locked bootloader?

Sorry my bad, here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052.
Follow the instructions as i posted, place the download rom in the /android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder and boot in bootloader and select recovery, select adb sideload there and type in cmd: adb sideload name.zip.
Unlocked Bootloader
The thread says they are for unlocked bootloader only.
I have TWRP installed, but for some reason at one point my bootloader was relocked.
So now I have No OS to 'enable oem unlock' to unlock my bootloader.
This is my issue.

It worked for other users, but hey if you have a better option try that.
I don't understand, what do you mean it worked for other users? The thread specifically states the bootloader has to be unlocked, and unfortunately I do not have an unlocked bootloader.
So I cannot fix this issue unless I either get a rom to flash with a locked bootloader, or somehow force unlock the bootloader

Look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...bootloader-t3116744/post60931367#post60931367, he had the same problem as you (locked bootloader). I`m not a jehova witness trying to convince you to swap sides, i`am trying to help you here.

I see, I was able to adb push /sdcard/. a factory image to get back in with a locked bootloader, thank you.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader on a locked HTC One (3 italy)

Hello there, I posted a while ago because I wasn't able to update my HTC One nor connecting it to usb in any way.
Finally, now I was able to update it over OTA (wifi) and... well it still won't connect to USB.
Right now the phone is sitting at :
Android 5.0.2 Sense 6.0 software 7.19.771.21 and it's a HTC one 3
Strangely enough it's not sim locked cause I tried a vodafone sim earlier and it worked.
So, the main change here is that I was able to boot it into recovery mode but I wouldn't know what to do there.
Any advices on how to proceed to unlock bootloader, s-off and all that wonderfull stuff?
I reiterate that the phone WON'T connect in usb mode, not even in fastboot, looks like.
Thank you very much in advance

Already told you the last time that there is nothing useful in stock recovery, only factory reset.

Fix your usb port first. You must at least be able to use fastboot commands when in bootloader which requires usb connection.
