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.

Nexus 6 7.0 broken screen not rooted - need to backup data!

Hi, so my phone's LCD and glass are broken and there is no display nor is touch working but the phone is on. I don't want to spend any money on it for replacing the LCD. It's on Android 7.0 stock, not rooted and everything stock and Wifi and USB debugging is NOT enabled although there is no lock code on the phone. I need to transfer my data to my pc (and no internal SD files are backed up in my Google account) but when I connect my phone to my PC, it doesn't show any files as i need touch to enable file transfer mode even though it recognized the nexus 6. Now i have 2 questions.
1. How to backup/transfer all my data? (preferably an alternative to the OTG mouse and HDMI solution since i can't find it easily in my country and can't order from amazon/ebay etc to my country).
2. How to reset the phone completely if i want to sell it to someone?
Any help would be highly appreciated on this matter...

Nope no custom recovery installed. i didn't unlock the bootloader so im guessing its locked. and can't see anything on the screen nor can it recognize touch input as LCD and glass is damaged. is there any way?

I haven't used adb enough to know whether or not if stock recovery can be used, maybe somebody else can chime in

I hate to say it but your getting them by replacing the screen. Without root or adb debugging you won't even have access to the directory or be able to issue the device any commands.

Maybe if you have it connected to the device the Android device manager. I disable it myself so can't say for sure. Other then that. No you are not gonna be able to. I really would just replace the screen. Not only will you learn something but you will be able to get all your stuff as well as the sale value will be higher.

ok so i've downloaded a fastboot compilation and i need to use fastbook device to check if nexus 6 is in fastboot mode and fastboot -w to wipe. I tried turning my phone off but i think it doesnt turn off until you press the power off button on the screen, even if you hold the power button longer. so ill let my phone fully discharge so it turns off and then charge it a bit while its off and then try to turn it on in fastboot mode by pressing volume down and power and then enter the commands. seems right?

Yup, if you plug the phone into PC before booting into fastboot, hold vol- then hit power button,while in your fastboot directory on PC, hold shift and right click mouse button, then click open command prompt from here. Then type: fastboot devices this will then tell you on PC if phone is connected and ready to receive commands. If it returns your phones serial number then proceed with the commands
If you hold power button to reboot phone, as soon as phone vibrates hold the vol- key and it should put you into fastboot mode

can't seem to boot in fastboot mode. My PC recognizes nexus 6 when its connected in normal mode so i know when its normally on. So i tried holding the power down button for 10 seconds or so and then tried holding the volume down button for several seconds and then connected it to PC but fastboot didn't recognize it neither my PC in general but after a while nexus 6 showed up on my PC which probably meant it rebooted normally without going into fastboot mode. any tips?

Big problem! boot loop, just not as usual. Can't access adb or fastboot!!

Device: Huawei P9 Lite | VNS-L21
Bootloader unlocked
Hey there, i need help immediately i have no idea what to do right now... :/ pls
Today i installed TWRP recovery on my phone and then LineageOS completely/successfully!
After that i made all settings, usb-debugging enabled, adb worked fine.
Then i went to the twrp recovery again and installed the gapps (google apps) for my device, and it was the right version and right architecture, i checked it twice.(it worked before on revolution rom)
After that my device restarted.
Now it keeps boot looping after staying in the "sim unlock" from LineageOS screen for ~1 second.
Important info:
Usually you can fix this issue with adb/fastboot
Problem: My device doesn´t come up in the console. It doesnt get detected but windows does a connection sound.
HiSuite pops up but says, there is no device connected, but it recognises that there is a huawei phone plugged in.
Next Problem: I cant acces fastboot without adb and i cannot acces twrp recovery, only huawei eRecovery, which is pretty useless...
So i dont really know how to fix this. Pls sbdy help me.
Greetings, Kami.

does it let you type in the sim unlock message?

You can actually access fastboot mode by (with phone powered off) pressing Vol-Down and plugging in your USB cable.
From there you can flash TWRP and enter adb.

My phone won't start

Hello,
i think I've broken my phone, I hope you can help me.
I followed this tutorial that you can download here : (I can't post the link because I'm a new user)
I've tried to unlock the boot loader with success, then the installer tried to install a recovery (as the text in the command window said) and the progress stopped, I have waited a couple of minutes but nothing happend and I disconected the phone from my computer (I know that was a bad idea).
Know my phone won't start, not even in the recovery mode. I can hold the Vol +, Vol - button and the power button but only the huawei logo appears, then turns the screen black and nothing more happens. I have also disconnected the battery for some minutes but this didn't change anything.
The only positiv thing is, that Fastboot still recognizes the phone when it's connected to my PC, but I still can't enter the fastboot mode.
I hope you can help me and save my phone,
thankfull Robin

First of all thank you for your reply. But I can't put my phone with my computer and minimal ADB in fastboot mode. The device is found with the command "adb devices" but it has only recovery status. When I type in "adb reboot bootloader" then Huawei logo flashes up and then it goes back to blackscreen.

I fixed it
I fixed the phone by myself. I'm not an expert at all and this is for the people with the same problem.
I think the problem was, that the phone won't leave the recovery mode, because it was listed with "apd devices" as "recovery" for the whole time.
So I tried to install a stock ROM via SD Card with a tool named au_temp.cfg and the phone actually did more then just turning back off when i pressed the Vol+, Vol- and Power key. So the phone actually entered the bootloader but I got the wrong stock image, but this didn't mattered because after one try the phone got back to normal mode and booted quite fine. So I think the main problem was, that my phone was stuck in a recovery mode and needed help to exit it.

ADB installed and USB debugging activated?
Then, when attached to a PC, try:
1. adb devices (will show if device is recognised) if yes->
2. adb reboot fastboot

tried that, fastboot mode appear for a moment, disappear then phone start normally
