What if my PC dosnt recognise the device as ADB how to fix this?

I had the same issue as you and thought I was screwed. I redownloaded the 3.1 file., reflashed it and the bootloader file right after then did the data wipe and rebooted.
If you hold the power button + the volume up button it'll reboot the xoom. Count to three after u see the Motorola logo and press the volume down key. After that u should see the words recovery on the upper left of the screen. Press the volume up button to select it and it should take u straight to recovery.

[Q] HTC Wildfire S keeps restarting

I upgraded my ROM from 1.3x to 2.1x using goldcard. After i ran the RUU, it said that the phone update went successful and now the phone just keeps turning on and off without even letting me go to hboot. Please help??

if u have nandroid back up just try to restore, if u dont re flash your rom just make sure that you wipe sytem, wipe cache and try to restore factory settings on the recovery menu just to make sure.

how can i wipe the cache and files, my phone does not even start up the hboot, pc could not even detect my phone. please help.

access recovery menu by pressing volume up + home button + power on at the same time hold it until your phone boots up, then release power button when the phone power up but keep pressing volume up + home button until it reaches recovery menu if it still doesn't work tell me we still have ways for that.

Just confused, pressing "home button" included? also afaik its volume down+Power button.
Also, is recovery menu available even if you havent install CWM? i know its needs debugging to install CWM.

sorry "tol" kinda sleepy when i posted this, your right its volume down+Power, if the phone is already rooted there is a recovery menu already but not CWM, but you can install CWM using ODIN just find a CWM tar.md5 file so you can install this using odin.

its not working. i cannot get to recovery by pressing volume key + power key. any other way to do that?

Maybe your phone already bricked. Jtag will help you to resurrect your phone.

Found Stock recovery 3E. Can I root without unlock bootloader?

Finally I found there is a stock recovery in HTC One S.
I Followed this step:
1) Shotdown the phone.
2) Press power button and wolume down. I go in Hboot mode.
3) with vol key I select Recovery and press power button.
4) You’ll see the HTC logo, then the screen will go blank, followed by an image of a phone lying flat with an exclamation point and a triangle
5) Now, press and hold down volume up, and then while holding them, press and release the power button. Release the volume rocker. You should get a blue menu with a set of options – you are now in recovery mode.
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
volume button to select.
Reboot system now
apply from sd card
apply from phone storage
apply from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Now The question is: Can I root my stock phone (with bootloader locked and without modified recovery) with this (metohd 1):

[Q] Phone bricked

I have doogee dg500(mt6589) the phone will not turn on,charge ect.when I run flash tools I get Emi obtain dram failed .5054 message any help or other options will be apprciated.

fix
The first thing is to boot to recovery mode...
1. Pull the battery and reinsert.
2. Hold Power and Vol-Up (the top of the volume rocker) buttons at the same time, until the phone boots to a menu and then immediately release the Power button. The options will continue to scroll and when the arrow gets to [Recovery Mode] <<== , immediately release the Vol Up button.
3. The phone should now be at [Recovery Mode] <<==. If it isn't (or if the phone starts to boot to another mode), pull the battery and try again. There's a bit of a knack to this sequence and I often have to do it many times.
4. Press the Power button twice, then press the Vol Up button. The phone should now show an Androidon its back with a red triangle and exclamation mark against it.
5. Press the Power button to get to the Recovery menu. (I'm sure there's a simpler way of doing this, but I haven't found it yet!)
The next thing is to Wipe cache and then Wipe data / factory reset...
6. Use Vol Down to navigate to Wipe cache partition, then press Vol Up to select it.
7. You'll see a picture of an Android with its belly open and a message -- Wiping cache... and Formatting /cache... Wait until the Recovery menu reappears - it takes quite a long time, so be patient.
8. Use Vol Down to navigate to wipe data /factory reset and press Vol Up to select.
7. Navigate to 'Yes' using Vol Down and select with Vol Up. You'll see a message --Wiping data... and Formatting /data and Formatting /cache - wait until the Recovery menu reappears.
I am copied this info from a willington's reply to someone about this brand of phone on this site.

Hi, i hawe a problem with my doogee phone, when i turn on the phone its stucks on boot screen and nothing happens,,, wipe data and factory reset not helped me

[Q] Cold boot issues

Hello, so I am trying do a cold boot on my tf700, but when I choose the android icon to do it it tries to make a system update and it fails. Do I need to do a factory reset and update it again?
Ps; When I am at the android and wipe data screen, I have a third option called RCK and it starts with that as the default option, I just want to make clear what RCK is and if I did right by clicking volume up to choose the android icon. My device is unlocked.

No, when you are at the bootloader menu RCK (that's your recovery) is flashing. You have to push Volume Down to highlight the Android, then push Volume Up to do the cold boot.
What you did was booting the recovery and it gives you the error because it doesn't find a valid update file.

You mean, push volume down two times? otherwise I will choose wipe data, it goes likes this RCK, android, wipe data.
Sorry I just want to make sure I do this right.

Well, you hold Power and Volume Down until you see the bootloader screen.
Then push Volume Down to select one of the icons: Push once to move to Android, again to highlight Wipe Data, again to highlight RCK again etc.... Try it.
When you have the option you want selected, push Volume Up to execute.
