1) What message have you got after updating radio? success or not.
2) have you checked the md5 of radio file before update
->anyway connect ur phone to the computer
-> make sure u have installed all htc drivers and ADB components
-> type adb reboot recovery
if you can go into recovery, now you can flash any ROM

Thanks guys.After updating the radio I got "successful ..." massage.Then I reboot my phone.After rebooting, HTC logo appears and stayed in this page. I waited a few minutes but nothing happened. Then I tried to go to the bootloader to restore my backup,but I couldn't access to the bootloader.(
I removed the battery but it didn't work.

Can you turn the phone at all, even if it gets stuck at the splash screen?
Do you have adb setup?
If you do turn the phone on and type "adb reboot recovery" you may have to type it a few times before it will reboot.

Look in my signature for various links...
Download and extract the adb & fastboot into a directory on your PC. Ensure that you have HTC drivers installed on you PC if not also download and install the link in my signature.
Then fire up a CMD on your PC, go to directory where adb is and issue the command
Code:
[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb reboot recovery[/COLOR][/B]
which should take you into recovery, where you'll be able to reflash or restore a nandroid backup from.

Odd, although he has yet to comment on the success or failure of ADB? I suspect that he may not fully understand or be following our suggestions?
Could be that volume buttons broken, this happened to someone the other day - although in that case they were stuck in!

Where did you get this RADIO from? please provide a link to the source so that I can see.
Flashing a phones radio is one of the most potentially damaging things that you can do to your device and hacking a radio file prior to flashing is highly risky.

Several questions Recovery error / goomanager - help plz

[RESOLVED]
Hi, im new to this android world, well not completely new but I dont remember it was soo hard to root about a 1-2 years ago, I had an experia and rooting was like just turning an option on, now its kinda a nightware, I have tried and read tons of post regarding how to do the rooting and unlocking the boodloader, but Im still getting problems.
Now my scenario is the following, I have the Rogers with update 1.94 so all those one clicks rootings wont work unfortunately
I tried to use goomanager and download the TWRP from it and yesterday when I go to Install OpenRecoveryScript and it worked, I downloaded and i believe it got installed "fine", after this the phone was behaving in a unproper manner and I decided to do a "Factory reset".
now today Im trying to go to the Install OpenRecovery Script and its not working, it just keeps loading and loading or searching for files and it doesnt do anything.
Another problem I have is that If i go to the fastboot screen and enter to the Recovery Option, then the screen comes black, a green arrow like a circle green arrow comes up and then after a while a black phone image with a alert in red image comes up, and it doesnt do anything, does anyone knows what is that image and why Recovery option is not working at all?
Update1: Ok I have succesfully runned GooManager, it download and installed the file: openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-evita.img
But still when I go to Recovery, it doest do anything, it gives me the same error, it shows the circle green arrows and after a while the black phone with red alert sign comes up :S
Thanks, for any info you can give me.

Dude you need to be unlocked in order to install a custom recovery...

Yes, when I go to my fastboot, my first 2 lines on the phone says the following:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

Flash your recovery from boot loader then.
Check stickies for gunnys adb fastboot setup, that will get u going. Its in the stickies.

Don't use goo manager for installing recoveries. I find it to be buggy sometimes.
Push the recovery through fast boot and it should install fine.

Thanks, yes the goomanager didnt work.
I was getting the green arrows and the red alert because the custom recovery was not installed properly.
What I did was to reboot into fastboot, connect the phone via usb to the phone and do a manual flash.
I will explain what I needed and how to do it, in case anyone finds this post.
To do a manual recovery flash into the phone you need to:
1- Have the bootloader unlocked, you can do that by going into htcdev
2- Download the proper TWRP for your phone, I have an HTC One X with 1.94 version from Rogers, so I had to download the file: openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-evita.img
3- If you made the bootloader unlocked thingy from step 1 you should have a directory with the following files:
adb.exe
adbwinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
Unlock_code.bin
4- Copy paste the file openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-evita.img to the same directory where you have those files in your PC.
5- open CMD and use the commands: "cd" to go to the directory
6- Boot your phone into fastboot
7- Connect the phone to the PC via the usb cable
8- go back to your CMD and type in the following command: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-evita.img
and thats it, reboot again the phone into fastboot and open recovery on fastboot, it should open the TWRP =)
Here is a screenshot of the cmd and how it should look like when you are running the manual commands.

Weird stuff, mine is a SimUnlocked Rogers 1X, BL unlocked via HTCDev, came from 1.94 and used goomanager no problem to install recovery.
Just saying its odd, how things work for some one way but won't for the next guy.
Nice of you give detailed instructions for others how you did it.
Cheers.

[Q] No OS, can't get to bootloader or recovery

Hey everyone, I just went through the process of rooting my phone using the Hasoon200 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426). Everything worked fine; I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the TWRP recovery, and installed CM10. However I couldn't get past the CM10 loading screen so I went back to recovery and wiped everything I could (cache, dalvik, system, factory restore) then rebooted. After that I can't get past the white HTC "Quietly Brilliant" splash screen. No bootloader or recovery. Hasoon2000's tool can't reach the phone to do anything. Holding Down Volume and Power buttons just reboots to the splash screen. When I plug the USB into my computer it must be recognized somehow because it connection notification sound plays but I don't see the drive. What can I do now?

Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down
Than select recovery
And once in bootloader check if you have hboot 1.14
---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------
When you get back into recovery do the same wipe process than flash the Rom...if you have hboot 1.14 you have to flash the boot.img manually

Thanks for the response. I'm able to reach the bootloader now, but when I select recovery it freezes once again on the white HTC splash (but this time with the HTC Dev red text below). And I do have hboot 1.14

New to this phone and was a little overeager. I unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed TWRP and flashed CM but didn't flash the boot img before flashing CM so it boots forever, of course (I'm so dumb...)
I can get back to the bootloader where I try to flash my CM boot img but adb won't detect the device (presumably because usb debugging isn't selected since I can't boot into the rom). How can I either 1) get adb to detect so that I can flash the boot img with adb or 2) flash the boot img without adb?
Stumped. Thanks in advance for any/all that can help with this.

Hey! Thanks for replying. I'm stuck here. Fastboot flash of the boot img requires the phone to be usb detected, yes? I go to fastboot but when I type 'adb devices' I gets nothing back.
I don't think I was clear in my earlier post. I have CM and gapps flashed but it won't boot into the OS because I didn't flash the boot img first but now I can't get the phone to be detected by adb so I don't know how else to flash the boot img. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I realize you didn't have to.

Stuck in bootloader loop
Folks, I was stuck in similar situation as well; I had missed copying the boot.img step initially and after i did a factory reset on the boot loader i got stuck in HTC logo screen with red lines warning.
I followed the directions provided on this thread and am now able to get into TWRP recovery screen. What would be the steps for me now to flash a rom onto the device again. I had flashed the ViperXL rom prior to me stupidly doing the factory reset.
Per directions on another thread, I was trying to first have the rom and boot.img loaded using the mount from TWRP. However when i do the the step of 'Mount USB storage', I get the warning that on my computer that i need to 'Format Disk drive'. Not sure why would i need to do it.
Please help!

Doing a factory reset from the bootloader killed your SD partition. You'll need to format it as fat32 before you can access it again. You've lost everything on there.

Is there a way that I could possibly flash wkparks bootloaders or a custom recovery without fastboot or root, this would be very useful because my power button doesn't work

If you have any recovery installed, install the one in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40249156&postcount=7
After that, there's somewhere in the forum a zip file with wkparks bootloaders that you can flash in recovery, search it.

Thanks but I keep getting an error, remember I am not rooted have stock bootloaders have no recovery and cannot get into fastboot mode because my power button doesn't work.

Yes, if you're not rooted you can't install recovery...
I'm not sure if there is a way to enter fastboot mode without power button, try searching the forum for that.

ok so i cant root my phone with this method because there is no recovery, and i should add that my phone always crashes after lg logo on first boot therefore fastboot tools are useless, i need a way to root or install custom bootloaders/recovery without needing any special boot, i saw one that apperently uses adb in the development thread but it doesnt work for me

If you have fastboot installed on your phone; pull your battery, hold Vol -, plus 3D and slide your battery in. Fastboot menu SHOULD pop up. Use Vol+ to select fastboot and your phone should reboot in fastboot mode 0.5

If you have fastboot installed on your phone; pull your battery, hold Vol -, plus 3D and slide your battery in. Fastboot menu SHOULD pop up. Use Vol+ to select fastboot and your phone should reboot in fastboot mode 0.5

i have stock bootloaders and cant get into fastboot

This method requires no use of power button whatsoever. 1st: Do you still have your omap drivers in tact? If so try this tool--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37893247 (if not there is a link for drivers there as well) if you have used fastboot before you should be good; I have never had to reinstall my omap drivers once they were intact until I formatted my CPU; all you should have to do is run the bat file in the "all in one tool 1.2" and it will say waiting for omap device...I never had to hit any buttons or anything I just plug phone in with battery out and tool starts to run. Wait 5 sec and pop in battery and phone will be in fastboot on its own. All other tools I've used I had to unplug phone and then plug back in to start fastboot but not with this one. Choose option 8 for ics bootloaders (wkparks) and then flash any GINGERBREAD recovery (options 2-7) I believe 4 & 5 are cwm touch versions. Use one of those or TWRP 2.3 and you won't have to use power or volume to navigate inside recovery...I use TWRP 2.3 option 6. After that hold volume - and 3D on the phone and type in option 12 (reboot) and hit enter. Profit! Blue Fastboot menu should pop up and default boot option will be on recovery, just let it boot up. I hope this works for you.

I tried to use the same "all in one tool 1.2" but the process stops in "waiting for the device". In phone I have the silver/grey logo for some minutes until the phone reboots in sama state as before.

does the tool actually run when you plug the phone in on "waiting for omap4430 device" or do you start the tool, plug in your phone and nothing happens? Fastboot has to flash to get to the "waiting for device" to pop up. If you wait 5 seconds and pop in the battery right when the tool flashes the second time and nothing happens, just pull out the usb cable and then plug it right back in and your phone should come on with grey lg logo (fastboot). If that doesn't happen maybe try re installing omap drivers.

[Q] USB device not recognized

Gday,
I did many searches and I read the " here are the similar treads found" but none has the solution. I am reading and searching for the last 3 hours, but no sigar. SO I am hoping someone can help me out.
I used this link to install my current ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445392
HTC one 2 ville
ROM maximus 10
I had TWRP 2.6.3 installed
All was working fine, only to have TWRP working with this ROM I needed to use TWRP 2.6.1. As I was not able to run backups.
So I went into fastboot USB. Run the below command.
C:\HTC>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6246 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.009s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.501s]
finished. total time: 2.510s
And after this I guess I screwed up something.
The laptop is not recognizing the phone anymore and says the device is malfunctioned.
I cannot get in TWRP recovery anymore. If I try the screen goes black. I need to hold the power button to turn it off.
WinDROID is not seeing the device either
I just cleared cache, dalvik, wiped data and went back to factory default.
That did not helped a thingy.
USB settings:
If I change it to HTC sync manager of clear check mark either way it comes with the same message " USB not recognized".
Can someone help me out plz
Thanks a lot

I reinstalled HTC drivers and now the phone gets recognized again.
But I still cannot install anything from recovery....
E:\Can't mount /sdcard/

After I installed the HTC drivers I was able to get on the sdcard again and get connected.
I installed TWRP 2.6.3. and I am able to boot in recovery,
That's nice, but now TWRP say's I only have 48MB on the SDcard?? When booted in systeem and connected to my laptop it tells me the SDcard = 11.9GB and has 11.6GB free.....
At least the phone keeps me off the street

INstalled SDrescan. That does not solve it.
Also TWRP 2.6.3 gives different info. Like battery 66% and on another page it tells me it has 100%.
Does this means the SDcard is damaged?

you need to flash the stock recovery, then go to bootloader and perform "factory reset + clear storage".
nce done you can flash your custom recovery again and you should be fine

Thanks.
I have hboot 2.16. I thought that there is no stock Rom for this hboot. I,ll have a look.

HBoot 2.16 means you're "S-OFF" and can run ANY RUU

Yes..after I read your post I slapped myself.....twice

HHmmzz
I copied the RUU to the root om the SDcard. Then I rebooted into recovery. Recovery is not able to see the root of the SDcard. Only folders he can see are TWRP and CWM.
Now I cannot even get on fastboot USB anymore. When I reboot the device the screen is blinking green.
*edit*
I mounted the USB device so it popped up on my laptop. And here as well it says it has only 48MB. SO no chance to copy the RUU.
Is there another way to flash my phone?

What did you do? The RUU needs to be started in Windows

Did you reed anything about using RUU? Connect phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU in windows. You need to flash stock recovery and set your CID back to stock before you can use the RUU.

I used to install RUU it on my previous phone. I cannot get fastboot USB connected anymore. I can't get the phone connected to my laptop at all. gives me the device malfuntion.
Bit frustrated...I almost broke the phone in half :laugh:
For now I just keep using it with the current ROM. Maximus 4.2.2 and sence 5.0 S-off. I did not changed CID.
I will try again in a couple of days.
Thank you :good:

nvm

Owkeee smie again
Couldn't recist trying to fix this.
I managed to get fastboot USB active. So I tried to erase recovery. That failed as remote is not allowed. Then I flash TWRP 2.6.1.0 succesfully.
And now it's back to normal.
2 bad I damaged the phone a bit. I forgot the one s is a phone you cannot open to remove the battery of SDcard....thought about it while having a screwdriver in my hand and partly in the phone :silly:
Appriciated your replies LSxD :good:

Phone works fine again. Able to connect it to the PC, use fastboot and get in recovery and see full size SDcard :good:
So will be making a backup and copy those files to my NAS.
I damaged the phone a bit physically at the back.
