Hello everyone , I have a problem with myHTC ONE M8 (Chinese version) . I try to install a new ROM, but in following the instructions to flash the phone. I do not have a fast boot menu by pressing the power button and volume down.
So my question : is it possible to install a rom without the fast boot menu ?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
Being the Chinese version the button combo may be different, try a few other combinations
Or to get into fastboot just use adb, turn on debugging and open a terminal on PC and type
adb reboot bootloader
Here is a guide that can help you set up adb and fastboot

Best of luck!
I tried my hands in android system first i start with rooting with kingroot pc app where i just need to plug my usb and click on start root in pc app, that's how i rooted my Sony Xperia S
then i unlock bootloader by sony official website Unlock your boot loader
After unlocking bootloader i tried to install latest sony walkman album and camera app which is modified for for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with normal apk install but all failed
i saw somewhere that i need to install these app in recovery mode so i installed CWN app from playstore and it wasn't working well in my phone so i was just playing around and i clicked on reboot option
after sony logo phone stuck on boop animation for hours its same nothing change then i google lil how to come out of it then use fastboot command to install CWN first then TWRP recovery tool (fastboot flash boot recovery.img) it successfully installed since then whenever i turned my phone on i come to TWRP
In TWRP i tried factory reset,clear cache and also tried to do adb sideload but it failed but i didnt clear my internal memory and android OS
when i connect my phone with usb in windows XP while starting adb sideload it prompt me for driver but even after download driver from XDA and official Sony website both does not work with it and its end up with driver cannot installed. i can't even put any file in my phone so whatever i have to do is with pc only
In doing all this for 2 3 days my phone was on fastboot (blue light) then suddenly notification light turned into red light then i thought it can be stand by mode i tired to press power button ,vol button, combination buttons and also tired to charge with usb but no luck then i took out battery and charge it separately then put it back now its working as before (recovery mode )
So i stuck in TWRP recovery everytime i boot and i only have 2 option (that what i think )
do something with fastboot cuz adb is not detecting devices at all and TWRP
so guys please help me to boot into my android OS I dont want to install any other os i want to run my old os and please tell me for next time how to run os and recovery mode as i want without stuck anywhere
Still no answer
Please super experts i need your help please help me guys
SOLVED
as i said i only can turn my phone in fastboot mode so i download stock rom for xperia s and rename ftf into zip then unzip in new folder then i took out only kernel file then in fastboot
i typed
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
fastboot reboot
then i successfully back to my old OS but it was not complete as i want so i relock bootloader by flashtool then run an update from sony pc companion right now i m installing back all the apps

oh now I got it, i think you go in the boot menu, all mediateks have that in Chinese
To get into recovery you must press up volume and then hold it along with pressing the power button,
Y6 after a few seconds turn;s on and you then have to chose which mode to go. Up volume to change selection and down volume to select, recovery mode obviously

after doing that i have =killed= android lieing on screen with red triangle.... under it it says =No command=
---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------
So for new guys in this i skipped very important step when flashed twrp:
Do not run system , but to bootloader first , accept modifications and whoala...
thx @chillo for responding quickly
BTW The dying android means no custom recovery is installed for Y6 , no fastboot command whatsoever
And yes, Y6 and most new android phones from Marshmallow and newer *(edit: ) stock ROMs, don't like to mess with their system partition, one should select system as read-only
Glad you made it through and learned a bit of it
Bootloop
It appears I've soft-bricked my Y6.
I've installed TWRP 3.03 as above and can boot into it but when I try to do a normal reboot I'm stuck in a boot loop.
How do I get to this stage - "Do not run system , but to bootloader first , accept modifications and whoala..." Is that when you first run TWRP?
In the Mount section of TWRP "System" is not ticked but the button "Mount as readonly" is.
If I select Fastboot it hangs. Normal boot hangs. Boot into Recovery is fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Y6 Max:*install recovery with fastboot in Ubuntu Linux
Hello,
thank you for this very useful thread. Just want to add some information on installing the recovery image on the Doogee Y6 Max via fastboot in Ubuntu Linux
I've followed this instructions with some minor (but important)*changes.
First useful information:*to enter in the fastboot mode of the Y6 max do the follow:
- power off your phone
- push togheter Volume up and Power button
now you will see a menu with three options. Move the arrow with Volume up and select "fastboot". Then press Volume down.
You are now in fastboot mode.
Connect your phone via USB to the computer.
Open a terminal and:
- unlock OEM as described in the tutorial linked above.
- install your recovery.img as described in the tutorial linked above
- re-lock the OEM with this command:
Code:
sudo fastboot oem lock
otherwise your phone won't boot.
Then power off your phone and enter in the menu described above pressing toghether Volume up and Power.
Now select "Recovery" and you are done.
Hi! I did everything like in the tutorial but phone is stuck in bootloop after flashing supersu from sd card. Any advices?
I tried 3.0.3 twrp and newest supersu. Phone turned on but there is not root, also there were no errors during instalation.
Hi everyone, i hope some people still using the 6039 or 6045, or maybe somebody can help me, i tried to update recovery by flashing .img via twrp 3.0, the version that i was trying to install maybe was broken or something... the deal is now:
.i can´t enter recovery mode no more (Vol UP+ power)
-no fastboot mode was activated before so i cant reflash with ADB and pc
-only can access to download mode.
I tried to downgrade with mobile upgrade Q (4.8 to 5.0 versions) and it did not pass the 20% that the phone reboot(in download mode) and cancel the proccess, is any another way to flash recovery.img no adb?
my cellphone is the 6039 version, i was runing RR rom, bootloader unlocked boot no fastboot connected with PC. By the way thx everyone and i will wait for an aswer.
Greets from Argentina.
In download mode, try this option to install TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-sahara-firehose-test-alcatel-t3454855
Guys,
I need help. I'm struggling for the last 3 days trying to revive my phone with no sucess. :crying::crying::crying:
I managed to put a custom rom sucessfully, but i had to make a restore on recovery mode.
During the restore process some error ocurred, something like "something not mounted", i did'nt have the ROM to flash anymore. For no reason i decied do reboot the phone.
Now i can't enter recovery anymore and the phone is froze on the "Sony Xperia" on the begginig.
Since start i'm having difficulty with the Z3 driver for Windows 10. To enter recovery mode i tryed to adb reboot recover but my adb doesn't work.
It's strange..
if i type fastboot devices it's show.
if i type adb devices it's show's "no emulators/xxx found".
I need help, don't know what to do anymore.
TLDR:
- Frozen at "Sony Xperia"
- Recovery don't enter pressing Volume Down/UP
- adb devices doesnt' work.
- fastboot devices work
Thank you!

You have some choices to restor stock rom:
1) Try Xperia compagnon fron Sony ==> Software repair (not shure about the label in english version)
2) Use flashtool (google for it) and a rom (*.ftf) of your choice.
When you are back to stock, then you can install a custom rom again

Hey,
Sounds like a corrupted system, not too sure what happened with the recovery though.
Try this out:
1. You need the phone driver and the fastboot & ADB driver. You can get the Sony phone drivers from the Xperia PC Companion. You can get fastboot & adb drivers almost anywhere, just google for them or scroll a bit through xda.
2. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't done so already here.
3. boot into fastboot mode by completely powering off the phone then holding "power+volume up" and waiting until a blue LED appears in the top left.
4. Find a custom recovery, rename it to recovery.img, navigate to the folder that contains it in CMD (i.e. cd C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Android) and type "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5.You should now be able to boot into recovery again. All that's left is find a ROM of your liking, push it to the phone in ADB and install it.
Hope this helps!
