I have HTC Panache. I tried to install Ice Cream Sandwitch on my Phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341847&page=17
The phone rebooted using ROM manager. it was extracting. I believe I pressed the power button. Anyways, the phone rebooted and now its just showing the MI logo and a sound that indicates that its a new rom but doesnot goes futher..
I tried to reboot using adb . But when I go into the Clockwork mod recovery, it just shows a hat with a yellow round arrow underneath it. My Clock work mod recovery version is 5.0.2.0
Just discovered
My version is as follows. Is it some thing to be worried ?

Your recovery is corrupt. Assuming you have s-off, you can try flashing cwm recovery through bootloader via adb. Search the forum and you will find instructions on how to do that.

find the recovery file, rename to "recovery.img" for easy typing, and put it in your adb tools folder.
reboot your phone into bootloader (volume down/power), and connect to computer. when connected to the computer, the phone should automatically switch into fastboot USB mode
type:
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure device is seen. if it is, proceed. if not, get the drivers.
TYPE THIS EXACTLY!!!
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it should give you a # of bytes sent or something like that
then type
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
and welcome back to clockworkmod recovery!
if this helped, hit the thanks button.

Correction, first command should be-
fastboot devices
Ok. I did flashboot the recovery. then it installed the rom automatically. Now I am on MyTouch4g T-Mobile ROM. I Installed ROM Manager but following are the errors now
Flash ClockWorkMod :- An Error occured while attempting to run privileged command !
Same happens when I click on Install ROM. In start, it says that No Super User found. Though, I am sure I rooted the phone. Thats why I have a new ROM on my phone

When I write Fastboot it says, it is not a recognizable command

He sure has adb if he sees that privileged command error.
I would suggest now you find full pd15img.zip which has rom, recovery and flash thru bootloader. Once you are up and running stock, re-root the device.
He has S-OFF, but he doesn't have engineering bootloader. Which makes him unable to run fastboot commands. That's the standard bad news for those who root and don't flash engineering bootloaders.
But, his phone boots to adb, which is good enough - so the engineering bootloader could be flashed by adb, or at least the recovery could be flashed by adb. The last one can be done using flash_image executable while in adb root shell.
Off topic but what the engineer bootloader what the differences between are regular boot loader ?

So you mean, I should install bootloader using adb again ?
What was the command flash ... ?
When I type reboot recovery, it goes into the bootloader and a phone appears.. Thats all
When your phone is booting, run "adb shell" and watch. The "#" sign should appear.
If the shell stays and doesn't drop out when the phone is bootlooping (the sign is still there after 2-3 minutes) - you're good to go.
WARNING: YOU'LL BE FLASHING BOOTLOADER. WRONG MOVE - AND YOUR PHONE IS A BRICK.
Since you're already running a rooted OS, "adb shell" should present you with "#" sign.
The thread below has steps to flash engineering bootloader. Don't use those steps, but download the bootloader and check the md5sum (do me a favor and don't ask how to do it, simple googling will spill you 200000000 answers). Put the bootloader into your ADB directory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
Direct link to the file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NN5726Z8
md5sum: df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6
Now, to flash engineering bootloader while you're in the ADB root shell, use these steps:
Open Windows' Command prompt in the ADB directory (DO NOT enter ADB shell yet!).
Type (EXACTLY as below):
adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/local/
adb shell
("#" should appear)
cd /data/local/
dd if=hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
You should see something like: 2048 bytes in 2048 bytes out 1048576 bytes copied blah blah blah
Now reboot into bootloader, see that you have 0.85.2007 version, enter FASTBOOT mode (select FASTBOOT with volume keys and press power button), and from there you can follow the suggestion above to fastboot flash the recovery, or anything you want.
And on the side note: you won't see any ICS in MIUI that you've attempted flashing. You should have read the thread - it clearly says "all the ICS changes are under the hood, visually it's just a regular MIUI".
I do not see # sign when i type adb shell..
Means I have to root again ?
What do you see? "$"?
In that case, try typing "su" and see if it brings you root.
If it doesn't - you can try to achieve temp root like when downgrading, using fr3vo.
For instructions - section "gain temp root" from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
In case it doesn't help you - you'll need to apply PD15IMG in bootloader as suggested to bring you back to stock, and then re-root.
this link returns me error
an error occured while running the exploit <-1> errno 25..
Probbaly because its already exploited may be ?
I am stuck and confused..
Dont know what to do :S

This.
Please google up "mt4g return to stock" or "mt4g apply pd15img", I'm sure there are enough guides to find.
Though applying pd15img.zip is pretty simple, there is even a simpler way for you to return to stock - just find the panache ruu executable in dev section, connect your phone to pc and run that exe.
Is this the file you are referring to ?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25823285/RUU...466_signed.exe
I have heard about phones being bricked. So do I need to be extra careful ?
It worked. Great. Now I am on HTC Sense. 2.1 !
Sounds great
Now should i start from zero again ?

Hello. I am new to this forum so bare with me lol. Recently I rooted my G1 using the following guide.

Everything was working perfect. I went to Rom Manager app and updated recovery image and my phone was rebooting fine. Today I could not send text messages so I rebooted my phone and it gets stuck on G1 screen. Home+power doesnt work but camera+power works. What can I do?? I searched for 3 hours already and I only read that people fixed it but no one gave step by step instructions

Does it only get stuck on the splash screen when you try to boot into recovery? Or does it not boot into the ROM at all?
Same thing
I have the same thing happening to me but there is no ROM. So I am able to get into FASTBOOT but it wont flash anything but I have no ROM or RECOVERY IMAGE
In fastboot you can flash, either download the original RC29 DREAIMG.NBH, or get the fastboot executable on your PC (mostly in PATH in sdk/tools/ with adb) and flash recovery with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In the Cyanogen Wiki there is a link for both recoveries (RA and CWM).

In Linux you have to enter:
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
On the shell, where JAVA_HOME points to the directory where java is installed.
In Windows you have to open your settings, and to find the PATH configuration. There you have to add the bin-Directory of your Java-Installation. But you have to separate by a ';' instead of ':'.
Hope that will help you ...

If anyone lives around chicago land area, I am willing to pay for someone to help me out withthis problem.
there have been a load of issues flashing recovery from within a rom when running CM5 or 6....unfortunately, most of the "clear warnings" are far from that....
if you are having trouble setting up fastboot, have a look at this guide, it may be of benefit to you....you only really need to follow the fastboot instructions (note. the guide is for ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04)

Hi, A short but effective guide for people who want to root their Desire S while keeping HBOOT 2.00.0002 and S-ON. This is what I did with my phone yesterday, but took me a lot of time to figure things out, so I'm writing this for myself and other people.
1) First of all set up ADB and Fastboot. [GUIDE] Easy and simple adb and fastboot setup for newbies (Windows only)
Also download the ROM you wish to install on your Desire S and put it on your microSD card. For this tutorial I choose Reaper v2.1 rom by lowveld.
2) You have to unlock your bootloader first via HTCdev so that you can install EXT4 recovery and custom roms. In the dropdown list select ''All other supported models'' and follow the instructions.
If you successfully finished the HTCdev unlock tutorial, your phone has a unlocked bootloader.
3) We're going to install EXT4 recovery. But first download ''4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip'' and extract the recovery.img file to the folder where you installed fastboot and adb. If you followed the tutorial in step 1 the folder will be ''C:\android-tools''
Now make sure Fast Boot is turned off on your phone. Go to ''Settings > Power > Fast Boot'' to turn it off. Unplug your phone from your computer, it's time to turn of your phone and boot into your bootloader.
Press Volume Down Button and Power Button at the same time to boot into recovery. Now connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot.
(Power button to select, Volume Down/Up to navigate)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EXT4 recovery is now installed on your phone. Turn off your phone in bootloader menu.
4) Open the rom (.zip file) you downloaded in step 1 and put the ''boot.img'' file in ''C:\android-tools''
If you followed this tutorial correctly, you already copied your desired rom your onto your MicroSD card.
Now we boot into the bootloader again, this time we select recovery.
Go to: wipe | format>and select: wipe data/factory reset (this may take a while), then select wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back to main menu in EXT4 recovery and select ''install from sdcard'' select ''Reaper_V2.1.ZIP''. After the rom is installed turn your phone off again.
Boot into recovery, connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot on your phone.
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After it's successfully installed, turn of your phone and just boot normally. It may take a while for your phone to boot up.
Your phone is unlocked,rooted and has a custom ROM.
Enjoy
Note: Some new ICS roms require different kind of HBOOT. I use Fallout v5.0.0 without any problems.
Just press the 'Thanks' button instead of saying thanks.

@n0elite
Yeah, if your phone is locked (2. hboot) or s-on (0.98 hboot) if will just give you shell root, useful but not required for what you doing.
this looks promising, i think i'll try it someday
so i'll be root after i finished this procedure, or just temporary?
Finally. This was the missing link in this forum!
I had the intention do write one, but I am S-OFF and cannot verify the steps without going to Stock then doing the steps and then downgrade and S-OFF again. Too many things to do just in the name of a correct tutorial. Anyway thanks I am glad that somebody finally wrote it!
P. S. : please notify ben_pyett to include it in the Index thread

Damn, where did you read to pull the battery? NEVER PULL BATTERY AT RUNNING OR BOOTING SYSTEM EXCEPT YOUR AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY TO GET A PAPERWEIGHT AND DON'T MIND IT!!
Did really take a look at the recovery? What is written as last line?
Ok, but your phone is off now, if not reboot to bootloader with
adb reboot bootloader
at the command line.
Otherwise start it with vol down and power.
There use the fastboot command to flash the boot.img, if you're lucky it will work.

What rom do you use? Maybe the recovery script forces a restart, sry, but anyways use vol down vol up and power or adb reboot bootloader to force a reboot.
If it's really needed only pull battery in between the small gap after shutdown and boot, but not at running system.
Try it the other way round, first flash the boot.img, afterwards flash the rom.

I can boot into HBOOT, when I try to click Recovery, it takes me to some page explaining software is not to be distributed, blah blah. Then it just boots up like normal?
I'm afraid I don't understand? Everything i've tried fails, why is that?

You skipped right over the "can't seem to able to flash a recovery."
Please explain in detail the instructions you followed AFTER unlocking via HTCdev.com. This includes files you downloaded, where you put them, how you attempted to flash, etc.
These details will be very helpful. Don't worry, sounds like you're not in any serious trouble at all. Just don't go flashing anything you see.
Also, please post this to the Q&A forum or General next time. This development forum is intended for development posts ONLY (ie. ROMs, Kernels, Radio's, etc). Just a heads up. Welcome to the forums
Aahhh, forgive me!
And thank you for the patience and understanding!
I used the Hasooon2000 toolkit. I got as far as getting to the screen where HTC wants to confirm with me that I do want to unlock the bootloader, I clicked yes, and it rebooted. Then I tried to flash recovery. The CMD prompt will say it was pushed to the phone successfully, but when I try to reboot into recovery, I don't get very far. To my understanding, I can't apply perm root without getting to recovery, but with the bootloader unlocked, why can't I even flash one?

Ahhh, not to stir up the pot here, but you're getting vague again with what's going on. You say "when I try to reboot into recovery, I don't get very far". What do you mean by this? Details are extremely important in helping you. Sounds like you're saying that recovery was successfully pushed, but then I didn't get any details as to what's going on when you attempt to load recovery. Also, which recovery file did you use? Use this one
I'm not trying to get on to your case here, but you've got to be really specific when you say stuff doesn't work, because that doesn't help us diagnose your issue. When your recovery is done flashing, you should be able to access the bootloader by holding Pwr + Vol-Down for like 5 secs, then choose recovery (that or fastboot>recovery....I cant recall if recovery is a main menu item). What happens after you choose that? Mine shows the htc splash screen, with a development message in red, and then it boots Clockworkmod.
No, no, lol I totally understand, I guess I am being vague.
I was going to go into details, but I was at work. Interestingly enough, my phone died, and when I plugged it and let it charge for a little bit, the phone booted right into CWM touch - so odd! So I was like, ok, i've achieved root - well, no, cuz I opened ROM Manager and it says SU couldn't be found.
BEFORE, when I would do what you said I should do, it would take me to the HTC splash screen where it was in red text, some disclaimer about some proprietary information crap, then it would skip recovery and just boot into Android -___-
Let's see if I can replicate booting into recovery now. (What method are you using to flash your recoveries?)
EDIT: Well it looks like I can't get back into recovery. Same thing as mentioned above. I can get to the fastboot screen, but if I click recovery, it takes me to that HTC disclaimer screen, the little loading bar loads then - poof - screen goes blank and Android boots up.
I have the same problem -_-! Can someone help please
The recovery image was flashed succesfully from Hasoon2000's toolkit. But when i go to the bootloader and select Recovery, I get the red warning for from HTC about how this is for development purpose only... then the phone's screen goes black, then it boots into the stock ROM.
Cant flash recovery
Hello everyone.
I have a similar problem. I successfully proceeded with the bootloader, but now I can't install the recovery. It simply wont flash.
I was following the xda tutorial that's in this very forum, but i got stuck: In my desktop i downloaded the needed files (or so I believe), and so i have in my desktop a folder called "carpeta" (random name) with these files within: adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, fastboot and 3 different recovery images i have tried to flash.
I use mac, so i open the command prompt for mac (terminal) and go to the "carpeta" folder and after that, I type "cd fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" (the xxx are the names of the recovery images that i have in the folder, one at a time) but it simply wont flash anything. I attach a screenshot to ilustrate what happens...
Please help me

Guys it works if you flash the recovery manually through the command prompt. I think there might be a bug or something in the toolkit because the manual way worked for me.
Here is what I did:
(I am not a programmer so I can't guarantee this will work for you. Worked for me, but try at your own risk)
-Copied the recovery image to the same folder as abd
-Plugged in the phone with USB debugging on
-Opened command prompt

Guys it works if you flash the recovery manually through the command prompt. I think there might be a bug or something in the toolkit because the manual way worked for me.
Here is what I did:
(I am not a programmer so I can't guarantee this will work for you. Worked for me, but try at your own risk)
-Copied the recovery image to the same folder as abd
-Plugged in the phone with USB debugging on
-Opened command prompt
-navigated to the folder with adb with "cd folder_location"

Make sure that you navigate to the proper folder using the "cd" command.(for example" cd C:\Fastboot ", if your adb and recovery are in that location)
Make sure that the Clockwork Mod recovery file is in the same folder as the adb and make sure that you type the file name correctly
I used these file and put the recovery image inside the folder after unzipping

Here is the recovery I used :

But your running Mac so I don't know if the method I used will work for you because I'm on Windows
Doesnt work...
I have the bootloader (when i start in bootloader mode my phone says ***tampered*** and also ***unlocked***.
BUT
I've been 2 days trying to flash my recovery on my htc one s from my macbook, and after i use the command prompt to get to the folder where i have adb, fastboot, my recovery .img file,etc... this is what happens:

This actually worked for me. I am rooted, and am now running a custom ROM.
Thanks so much for all your help!
Hey everyone
i seem to have made a very tiny bit of progress here since now i can type the commands and make it start, but only that... starting.
my command box is stuck in a "waiting for device" message that will start nothing, and my phone is just there, untouched.
i never thought flashing a recovery would give me this much of a long headache...
help anyone? how do i make my pc stop "waiting for device"?
Have you tried a different USB cable/port? I had a similar problem but moving to a different port worked.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U
I have the same problem i did everything as in the guide posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
But when i flash recovery through fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img) everything goes ok but when i want to boot into recovery i get stuck on the HTC screen.
Than i wanted to go to recovery trough fastboot ( fastboot boot recovery ) i get message cannot load recovery.
If you need more info for help i can provide you guys with the screenshots.
Thanks in advance Nikola.
So I got this help in the CM Q&A but while I've rooted man devices (mostly with oDin and one-click utilities) I've never used ADB and now I'm wanting to go from a sense to AOSP ROM and can't find active links to ADB or tutorials other than (type something here), youtube hasn't been help either, can someone help e out? I had a hboot 1.85 XL so I had it easy when I rooted.
LINKS
3.18 RUU Downloaded
S-Off Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155071 open in tab but the instructions aren't user friendly
Downgrade Touchscreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2159863
TWRP Recovery: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita downloaded
***openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-evita.img or 2.3.3.0 are recommended at the time of this post***
OPTIONAL- Remove red text from splash screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2156368
INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks to @InflatedTitan for this breakdown.
While waiting for the RUU to download...
1. Download the 2 files for s-off and place in adb folder.
2. Download the recovery of choice and put in adb folder.
3 (optional) download the remove red text file and put in adb folder.
4. You'll have to downgrade touchscreen if you want to use aosp *SEE NOTE BELOW*. Head to original dev sticky to download files from h8rift. Put those in adb folder
_________________________________________
1. S-off! Make sure you confirm in bootloader (it usually works easier from a sense rom btw.) 4.2.2 roms need updated adb but it may work.
2. When you ruu, it doesn't touch sdcard. But I would quickly mount and backup your pics and whatnot just in case.
3. Enter fast boot. Run the ruu on the computer. It'll bring you back to 100% stock.
4. Once you up and running, enter fast boot again and send twrp. (Instructions below, insert whatever recovery image you're pushing)
Quote:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-recovery-evita.img
5. I recommend to get rid of the ugly ass red text on splash. Follow Liam's thread to rid it.
6. While in fastboot go ahead and downgrade touchscreen following h8rifts instructions.
7. Now you're golden to flash anything you want :thumbup:
*Note as of the 06/26 Nightly, you do NOT need to downgrade your touchscreen. However if you encounter any touch-related problems using TWRP 2.3.3.x, you should flash the downgrade in fastboot to move on. I'd recommend 2.5.0.0 on the latest touchpanel firmware. It works for me but if you run into trouble, downgrade the touchscreen and flash the recommended TWRP recovery.
ADB is a command line shell for accessing your phone remotely using linux commands. So many linux command line commands will work within adb. To become an ADB master, use linux command line.
As for downloading ADB and fastboot...

I guess I'll stick to sense based ROM's because that wasn't helpful but thanks.
Edit after hours searching came across helpful info, but after changing the directory and putting int adb reboot bootloader i get "error device not found" when my phone is connected, any clue?

That means you're typing the filename wrong. Type the first few letters and then press tab. It will auto complete the file name for you.

Twrp 2.6 works great. No real reason for 2.3.3.1 anymore but nostalgia.

Are there any mac detailed step by step guides of how to unlock and root the Nexus 5??
I've seen the 2 main threads here but they are step by step for windows and some of the coding has already been pointed out as wrong for the mac so I'm having a very hard time just unlocking and rooting my nexus 5 which is sitting here.
If anyone could please link me to a detailed MAC guide, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks.

I can help you out.
Download and install Android File Transfer, which will install the necessary drivers for your phone to connect to your computer. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Enable developer options on your phone by going to Settings > about phone and tapping the build number 7 or so times. Then go to the developer settings and enable USB debugging.
Once this is done, in your folder entitled your "username" in your Mac (the same folder that has Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.), create a folder titled Android.
Inside that Android folder, put these two files: http://cl.ly/SMwW and http://cl.ly/SMiC These are adb and fastboot.
Once that's done, open Terminal, type:
Code:
cd /Users/yourusername/Android
and hit enter.
Then type:
Code:
./adb devices
hit enter, and you should see your phone's serial number so long as you enabled USB debugging as described above.
Then type:
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
hit enter, your phone will reboot to the bootloader
Download this file and place it inside the Android folder we created earlier: http://cl.ly/SMw9 This is the latest TWRP for our phones.
Into the same Terminal window, type:
Code:
./fastboot oem unlock
hit enter, WARNING: your phone will be returned to stock and your storage erased, once that's done, type
Code:
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
and hit enter to reboot back into the bootloader that is now unlocked.
Then to install TWRP, type:
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hammerhead.img
and then reboot the bootloader again. I would then suggest hitting your down arrow a couple of times and booting into recovery, where TWRP will prompt you to root your device with SuperSU. Alternatively, here is the SuperSU zip that you can put onto your phone's storage and flash in TWRP. http://cl.ly/SMlk
Not sure if you missed it, but alternatively there's a Mac toolkit that's recently been posted.

Are you cd'd into the directory where the fastboot binary is?
Also, here is a really good tutorial, Google ftw...

Yes I am cd'd into directory and it recognizes my device until a reboot to bootloader. Then while in bootloader mode on my phone, terminal on my computer will no longer recognize my device.
I will take a look at the link though. Thank you. I dont have sdk setup on my computer, maybe thats it.

If adb devices shows your device you're in recovery, not bootloader
It doesn't show my device in boot loader though. Terminal says permission denied though. Maybe I'll try a different directory when I get back to my computer.

Use fastboot devices if you're in bootloader
Anyhow, the link I posted is a good tutorial, it should get you sorted. Although, even though I have ADB and Fastboot in my Path (ADB works fine), I still have to cd into the platform-tools directory to get fastboot to work. If anyone has some insight into that's I'd be all ears, but I still make it work.

Thanks guys. I got fastboot working, boot loader unlocked and twrp installed but I had to use the fastboot file from the other thread. The fastboot file in the second post this thread doesn't work correctly.
Now my next problem is I have twrp installed but it is asking me for a password and it will not backup my system. When I try to reboot I get bootloops. I can get back into fast boot though. Do I need to push a ROM file or superuser via fast boot? What is the command for that?

That has happened to me also. I went ahead and flashed the factory image, and then re-flashed recovery after that and it worked fine.

Thanks. I saw a fix in the twrp thread as follows, so i did this. Twrp is working as normal now and no bootloops. I have the factory image downloaded too just in case. Thanks again! Everything seems to be working now.

If you have just used fastboot oem unlock, you should let the device boot up normally first before trying to install TWRP. If you boot TWRP first before booting normally, you will be prompted for a password. Hit cancel and got to Wipe -> Format Data. Type yes at the prompt and hit the "enter" key. Hit the home button at the bottom and Reboot -> Recovery. Unlocking the device will cause you to lose all userdata, apps, pictures, downloads, etc.
To root, when you select to reboot from the GUI in TWRP, you will be asked if you want to install SuperSU. Swiping to confirm will root your device.
