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

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:

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.

Thanks for your reply. This help me to get to the bootloader.
Now i try to flash boot.img into boot =)
Ok. I have working phone =)
Thanks for yours replies.
My m8 is stuck in a boot loop and i am unable to access the recovery to factory reset the phone. Its been like this for 2 days now, and i have not found any solid help on the matter. I can get into hboot, however fastboot does not work and i cannot get into the recovery (the options are there, but when i press them they just disappear and nothing happens). If i connect the phone to my pc, the fastboot usb option shows up.
What im looking for are some step by step instructions on how to fix the matter. Ive posted on the /r/techsupport subreddit, and ive been told to either use an RUU or try and reflash a recovery, but without the instructions on how to do so.

You have some options
Non-s-off
fastboot flash a recovery with this command
Code:
fast boot flash recovery recovery.img
if your s-off
use caption_throwback's bootloader flashable twrp with your external SD card
use the Harman Kardon ruu
Sent From my Evo 3D with the dark Lords kernel
Before installing a rom zip from twrp recovery, as soon as i got the successful message i proceeded to format my internal storage. Now the rom is stuck with bootloop , i have a twrp recovery installed which is fairly (not too much) old though, also adb sideload does not work (the recovery always tells that adb sideload is starting). Also that i do not have usb-debugging on. Also, though the recovery has the option to mount otg, it doesnt seem to work. Also i am not able to access the fastboot and flashmode by just pressing the volume up/down while inserting the usb cable. To enter into the recovery i need to switch on the device and hold power for 12 secs and then press the volume down. This leads me to the bootloader using which i can reach the recovery. Any help or advise is appreciated. Thank You
You didn't say if you tried to RUU. At this point, I'd download the RUU from here and run it. It's the first link in the OP. If you are s-on, make sure to lock your bootloader first.
Thanks for the reply coal686.
How can i lock my bootloader ?
Coz i do not have access via fastboot or adb.
Neither i can connect an otg.
even adb sideload doesnt seem to work.
Added later :
Also that though my bootloader shows fastboot, my device isnt detected and it always stays in <waiting for device> stage.
Finally, adb sideload started working... Htc one restored
Thanks for the RUU suggestion though...
May be usefull next time :laugh:
I recently got a z3c and decided to try to get a slim rom on it.
I have done the following:
I unlocked the bootloader.
This was done successfully to the best of my knowledge
The next thing I did was flash a cwm image to by z3c using fastboot. The problem was that I flashed the z3 version on my z3c.
The device would boot but the screen would be blank.
Later I flashed the z3c boot loader named : Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105
After this the device goes in a boot loop. I am able to access CWM.
I have tried to root the phone as well as flash the slim rom in an attempt to fix it....
Wiping disk / cache doesn't help.
Also for some reason even though adb drivers are installed I cannot use it so I can't get the twrp install to work.
I have no idea what to do can someone please help?
Thanks,
stp
I have same issue....Phone is ib bootloop...i can still go to fastboot mode....
Anything can be done here????
Flash an factory image with flashtool then you will have original recovery. Then reinstall CWM, maybe smth went wrong.
Tried flashtool---Ended up with errors as attached pic
As i cant bootup my phone...USB Debugging option cant be ticked
I was running SlimLP (unofficial) while bricked my phone....
Anything on that please....
I managed to recover my phone. I don't think you need usb debugging for flash tool. What I did was turn the phone off (power and volume up seem to be the buttons that force shutdown and break the reboot loop).
flashtool will prompt you to connect when you flash the ftf file and you hold power up and volume down when you connect the usb cable. If you have issues flashing (it hanged on me on system.bin) try restarting your computer.
Resolution and Problem Exp
Right after flashing the device recovery through fastboot the USB cable is plugged and that seems to loop the boot loader, so you need to force shutdown while looping by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP, and after that unplug the USB cable. You will notice that on boot now the light is no longer red.

Hi everyone
Since I restarted my phone last night, my phone has been in a endless bootloop and I can't even enter recovery, without it rebooting again and going into the same endless bootloop again, around 2 seconds after showing the "Teamwin" logo.
I'm using ARHD, and if I remember correctly it's version 71.1. TWRP is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7" and running ElementalX kernel.
I expect my partition is somehow corrupted, but I'm at a loss of ideas as to how I can recover my phone again. I would apreciate if I could somehow manage to make a backup of my data, but it that's totaly hopeless, I'm thinking of going for the ArtMOD ROM instead and starting fresh.
Is there a helpfull soul out there, that could maybe give me some insights as to what I can do from here? Thanks in advance!
I was hoping I could install a stock ROM and start from scratch again, but I somehow suspect having used a modified ROM has gotten me in trouble now and the ROM Upgrade utility sees this as a downgrade. I've not been able to find a newer ROM for the .401. series than "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe". Although the updater believes I'm updating from 4.19.401.11 (the ARHD ROM).
I can get into FASTBOOT USB and the phone goes to the black HTC logo screen when trying to update, but quickly fails on the PC during the process at "Updating 1/5". When unplugging the USB cable the phone shows:"
RUU
Security fail!
Update Fail!
I've attached two screenshots, to better explain
Can some kind soul out there please help me getting a working phone again? What ROM I'll end up with doesn't really matter
Since you're using unlocked bootloader, why don't you try RUU to get back on Stock ROM.
Here is the collection of ROMS
Download your ROM.
from Windows Command prompt
adb reboot bootloader #
If it didn't work, Press and Hold Power button along with Volume down of your phone,
When you reach to bootloader, get into fastboot mode.
Now follow the following commands to restore the STOCK Rom. (make sure your downloaded ROM are in the same directory where you have fastboot.exe, abd, and abdwin.api etc)
1) fastboot erase cache
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (RUU.zip is of course your downloaded Stock ROM). If it says Failed, try again.
4) fastboot erase cache
5) fastboot reboot-bootloader
6) fastboot reboot
Good Luck
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for helping out!
After several tries, tries and retries, I finally managed to get the phone back up and running with the stock ROM. I believe what finaly did the trick, was to use "fastboot oem lock" to get the stock ROM installed. From here, I'm now able to unlock it again and install a custom recovery (TWRP) and ROM (I went for ARTMOD). Thanks again!!!
