Cant flash RUU

Hi Guys, since monday im the owner of a htc one s. I unlocked the booloader and flashed the team win recovery. Then I flashed the TrickDroid Custom Rom, because I thought i would have a nice battery life like it was told in the title. But the fact is that my One S looses extremly much battery in standby-mode and i dont know why. So i would flash a RUU. But I couldnt do this. Like in some Threads i flashed the Stock-Recovery and the I relocked the bootloader. Now I tried to start my phone to flash the RUU but i coulndt, the One S wasnt booting. Then I tried to flash the Recovery over the Bootloader and ive got the failure-code 171 (ruu cant find a fastboot device -> usb). But i realy want to go back to stock. Can you help me?
iZodiac

never done an ruu, so can't help much there other than what is already posted
assuming you are up on your adb/fastboot stuff, try reinstalling the htc drivers. then open command window, cd to fastboot.exe folder, usually in something like tools or platform-tools and at command prompt type fastboot devices and see if phone is recognized.

And thats the Point, if I install Android SDK my CMD Console says me, that I cant open this and then my cmd isnt available anymore on my pc. i tried this 2 times and every time I needed to restore my pc to a earlier time..

not sure
can you reinstall htc sync or try new usb or different pc port
you need the fastboot.exe and adb.exe and 2 windll files in your tools folder. If they are missing--might be issue
did you check and see on phone if usb debugging is checked under Settings/Development and fastboot is unchecked under Settings/Power
oh, if you haven't and get to a point you can, get a nandroid. i know you can't bu sdcard to pc--but, first chance you get, do it

Thanks first for your Support, 2nd
Can you give me a link of the (if available) latest RUU-Nandroid? Would be great if you'll find something

Computers blind to NS4G. Help?

Hey folks.
I have been trying to get my wife's NS4G back to stock to get the JB OTA. I have downloaded all drivers multiple times on multiple computers (windows). I have tried 3 or 4 different USB cables. I have downloaded pdanet. I have downloaded the JAVA SDK and updated everything about it.
My computers cannot connect to the NS4G.
USB debugging is on. When I try to turn on tether, it tells me USB is not plugged in.
I have been able to restore the stock ROM (2.3.7) via CWM, but now I no longer have a recovery. It is still rooted and unlocked. Rom Manager is installed and it will not download CWM Recovery.
I need some way to get a recovery onto it. CMW or stock.
Does ANYONE have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions and particularly to the one that will work.

If you are running Windows 7 hold down the shift key and right click then select open command prompt here. type ADB devices and if your drivers are installed then you will see your serial number. Remember to be in fastboot when you install drivers. then use ADB to reboot bootloader. when in fastboot type "fastboot devices" and you should again see your serial number to know that your drivers are all installed correctly. You need to fastboot flash a new recovery image. Hope that helps

Drivers are installed, as I can see my S3 fine as well as adb getting my serial number. The computer, nor adb, can see my NS4G. I have tried a desktop as well as 2 laptops.
Will be trying Vaelek's idea of wireless adb this evening.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Drivers are NOT installed properly then. Drivers are installed on a per device basis. If your phone doesn't get recognized, then they are not installed.
Chances are your device ID isn't found in the .inf file of the drivers. I know back when I rooted my phone over a year ago I had to manually change the inf file and add my device.
If you start your phone in fastboot mode and plug it in, when you go in device manager you should see an unrecognized device with a yellow question mark. Right click it, then Properties, then Details tab. Give me the information in the Device Instance Path.

Will check this out and post info when I get home tonight. Thanks for the input.

Started phone in fastboot mode. Plugged it in and watched Device Manager. Closed device manager and re-opened it for a good refresh. I get nothing new. No unrecognized device and no Android Device like when I plug in my S3. ADB Wireless wont connect.
OK... I just cleared my sd card and was able to install CWM. One hurdle cleared...
I still need to get stock ROM and recovery. Is there anyway to do this WITHOUT being able to connect via adb?
Thanks again for any input.

[Q] LG-P506 Fastboot Can See My Device But Won't Show The Serial Number

So I have a LG p506 and I recently installed cyanogen-mod 10.1 on it. I had to use the November release as the newest one wouldn't load past the cyanogen logo(i let it run for a couple hours). Everything seemed to work great after that. So I put the phone in my backpack for a later date.
When i finally pull it back out the battery was completely dead, and plugging the phone into usb would not charge it. I used an external device to charge it.
Basically the only thing the phone can do now is load the lg logo, go into emergency mode, and fastboot. I can erase and flash images, I have tried system boot and recovery multiple times with different files.
However I get the same two things every time i try something:
1. when I plug the phone into usb, the phone will do its thing then give a STALL GET_DESCRIPTOR error
2. fastboot devices shows something but I get a "?" where the serial number should be.
I am not proficient enough with fastboot to try other commands. Any one have some advice?
Also, I've tried every usb port I have, theres only one that works with the phone. One of the usb ports shows up normally on the phone but fastboot won't show any devices. I am running windows 7 ultimate x64.
The one thing i haven't tried is reinstalling windows 8 on one of my hdd's and seeing if it isn't a win7 issue. Ive used it with win 8 before and it didn't give the error message.

fastboot doesn't show a serial number for that device. At least never has for me. If 'fastboot devices' lists something like
Code:
List of devices attached
???????? fastboot
then you're good to go.

damn that was my only thing to go on lol. nothing will get this phone to boot into recovery. im about to get a sd card reader for my pc to test and see if its bad.

You can use fastboot to flash another recovery. Rashed should have a link in the OP for the 4.1.2 ROM you said you were using. You can continue to use the command-line if you like, but I did write a Windows app for flashing recoveries. Links in my signature.

ill give it a try, but i have tried just about every recovery file i can get my hands on and no luck, also looks like winds 8 doesn't want to acknowledge my phones existence. I downloaded and installed the driver from LG but still no luck, windows 8 is giving me a failed descriptor error as well.

ok so i have been stumbling around for a bit and noticed something possible wrong.
Windows 7 device manager shows my device, installed correctly, but listed as USB Modem Phone ADB Port.
Shouldn't this be a fastboot port? Since ADB is only available via the android operating system, and i can't get into my operating system, all i have is fastboot.
I have ran thru quite a few fast boot recovery pages, and I don't know what im missing here.

I'd say that was/is the correct port name. I don't have that device anymore so I cannot say for sure.

ok, so this is a follow up on some things i have tried recently.
Since my last post i have:
1. put the sdcard into my tablet, and formatted it/ ran an error scan on it via windows.
2. i then flashed a recovery file via my phones fastboot, i pulled that card put it back in tablet to see what files it installed.
3. according to windows, flash recovery installed a .LOST folder with nothing in it, which is the same thing my tablet has on its internal memory, so i don't think there's anything wrong there.
4. phone still cant boot past LG logo(or recovery), or charge the battery when plugged in.
5. I still get a stall get_descriptor error when connected via usb, and commands such as fastboot reboot don't work, tho the phone will say its rebooting (it says its rebooting then just sits there and does nothing, command prompt will say action completed).
6. one thing i have tried as well, is telling windows not to automatically install drivers, then uninstalling my phone from device manager.
Whats interesting about this was that windows was installing its own ADB modem driver from it's own library every time i plugged in the phone. After disabling auto drivers, and reinstalling my LG drivers, the phone simply remains an unknown device.
Some things I have tried include pointing windows to the driver folder, both the downloaded folder and the folder windows installed it to. Neither worked.
The next thing I tried is the have disc option on both. Although there are setup information files in the install folder (about 50 of em), pointing the phone to each file one at a time did not work.
What did work, interesting enough was pointing the phone to a set of Naked Drivers I downloaded, although none of those drivers are specifically for my phone, and they only gave me the same problem I had when i had windows auto installing its own driver.

So how can i flash an os when my device isnt recognized??.. There is 1 thing, When im in fastboot and i click the Superboot.bat it acts like it did when i first rooted it... but does me no good i still cant do anything... and yes ive read every guide i could find but i just cant get it recognized... Is there something im missing?
I appreciate any help with this as i am now without a phone... Thanks guys
Edit: Oh and just incase i forgot to mention i believe i have all the drivers and adb..all that...Like i said i rooted succesfully

With the phone in fastboot mode and connected to your computer, do you get the device's serial # when you type "fastboot devices" ?

nope, i tried to get it to show up in every mode and way i could come up with.. nothing

Are you trying the fastboot commands on a Win7 or XP machine? I don't think ADB commands will not work when the phone is in fastboot mode,

It's a Windows 8 machine.
Any suggestions I'm still stuck

Try to flash a ROM in fastboot on a Win7 (x86 or x64) or XP (x86) machine.

Just tried it man... Still no luck. . Man what am I doing here? Do you have a link maybe I'm doing it wrong from the one I'm reading... But the machines just will not get the device

Put your phone into fastboot mode, connect the USB cable, do you see the Moto G appear as an android device in Device Manager on your Win7 or XP machine?

*I installed the htc drivers and the android sdk
*my htc has android 4.0.3
*I have used usb 2.0 ports
*I have the fastboot files and all the files required
*I restarted the computer idk how many times to see if that does something
*everytime I connect the phone via fastboot mode, windows says device is not recognized
if need something else, simply ask for it, I have searched through thousands of forums and obviously here with no success, I hope you guys can help me

the issue is on win8
Search here in xda how to set up adb/fastboot on windows8

Or just download a Linux Live CD with fastboot and adb.
Just boot the cd and you can use fastboot and adb from terminal.
