flash rom via fastboot?

my htc sensation xe is stuck at the htc screen so i wanted to restore the backup via adb -> doesnt work, because the phone has to boot to do this. so is it possible to flash a full rom via the fastboot menu? this is the only thing that is working properly atm (no adb, not working recovery etc.) so is it possible or do i have to do something else?

Hi,
What were you trying to do?
What ROM were you on,and what firmware?

i had been trying to flash ota ics and since that, the phone is stuck at the htc bootscreen so i wanted to restore the backup or flash a official rom or custom rom but im not able to do this because the phone isnt recognized by adb in the bootloader menu and before all this it had the android version gb 2.3.4. which specific firmware do you mean? hboot version is 1.18.0000...
edit: will it work if i would flash a gb custom rom via pd98img.zip?

Happen to come across this thread and wanted to leave this for future reference. I edited it to suit the Sensation more. I also posted this in the Juopunutbear S-OFF in the Sensation Android Development.
ROM Flashing
1. Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
2. reboot your device into fastboot mode via one the following .
1. power off the device then back on with 'vol down ' + power button.
3. Wipe your device.
1. fastboot -w
4 . Update your ROM.
1. fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
5. Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.

You can extract all the firmware and software images from an RUU and build them into a PG58IMG.zip... Short answer, yes. However, certain items will not flash if you're not S-off.

Will the fastboot commands.... Given by you in this thread.. Flashes the rom?
Then thnx a lot. It'll help a lot for other people... And I believe the person should at least have an unlocked bootloader by htcdev to get this work.

Yes you have to be HTC Dev unlocked or S-off to do this. But remember HTC Dev only unlocks the system, recovery, and boot partitions.

one more question
to flash rom via fastboot then the rom should be containing img's for each partition
unlike how all the custom roms here are coming (no img's for every thing...like example there is no system.img for most of custom kernels)

Is it possible to use fastboot with a zip file and without system img? Could a whole Rom be placed in an img file?

Model ID incorrect - can't flash recovery

I updated to ICS via OTA while already S-OFF. I thought I would able to update recovery again via hboot and nandroid back, but I seem to be stuck.
Any ideas? I double checked and the script shows model id pg5813000.
Help?

nandroid backup wont have recovery (it just has the backup of ROM)..so it wont work
as far as flashing recovery via Pg58IMG.zip file from bootloader
you need to make sure that android-info.txt inside the zip has your cid and mid
if it doesn't match..just edit and replace with yours
to get your cid and mid---fastboot commands
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid

I hope you are still on an ENG Hboot, if not, please get user friendly firmware corresponding to your CID and flash it.
Now, I've attached a recovery.img, this is your stock recovery.
Connect fastboot usb
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Then apply OTA.
PS: Being a senior member I assume you don't need more help than that, if you do, please post back

Thanks for your help guys.
I'm not trying to apply ota, I've already done that. I'm already at bone stock ics, and trying to flash clockwork recovery so I can restore a nandroid of cm7, but the new Hboot doesn't like any of the files that used to work fine.
Unfortunately I am not on an engineering Hboot, but I am still S-off. Will fastboot still work?
The phone boots and runs fine, but I might be stuck with no way back to root.
This thread is about the sensation, but I'm using the glacier because it still has cm7 on it.

Mate, just go my tool (link in description), there is a recovery.img for 4EXT in the attachments.
Flash it like I told you. If it fails , you will need to get an ENG boot by flashing appropriate fw.
Hope this helps.

I think you misunderstand. I am not trying to apply the OTA because I have already done that. I am currently stuck at stock rom, with stock recovery, but s-off, and I'm trying to get my custom recovery back so I can restore a cm7 build, or maybe flash cm9.
Right now I'm installing drivers so I can try your fastboot commands.

It worked! I just had the wrong mid/cid in the script. Thanks guys, I'm back in business!

4EXT is a custom recovery. You will be able to restore your NANDROID backup through that recovery.
I don't know how to make this any clearer mate.

The problem was that the hboot wasn't accepting my pg58img.zip. I was using that to try to flash cwm5. I think you were misunderstanding the problem I was having.

Yes, because you need an unlocked Hboot for pg58img to be flashed.. so instead of solving the problem, I gave you a workaround of installing 4ext instead of cwm mate..

I have a locked hboot, but S-OFF prevailed because I had done that before applying the ICS ota update.
The issue wasn't which recovery I was installing, the issue was that my hboot wouldn't accept my pg58img.zip file because I didn't have the correct cid and mid in there. Once I corrected that I was able to flash cwm recovery 5.
Your solution of using fastboot to confirm my mid and cid did help, I just chose to use a different recovery. Does that make more sense?

[Q] S3 Villec2 OTA update

I've got an HTC One S [s3]. CID is HTC__622 Asia HK
I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and superSU loaded as well as Rom Manger
Tonight there is an OTA update available. So I want to use it. I downloaded it and
ran command: fastboot oem lock
and tried to run the update. It just keeps booting into my fastboot menu.
I heard that I need to install stock recovery tfor this to work but I don't know where I can find it.
I do have a reovery_signed.img file that I saved from somewhere that is 5,957 kb. Not sure if I flash that if it would give me stock recovery.
Can someone give me a direction to go. I have spent last 12 hours just reading stuff and still don't know what to do.

Htc_asia_hk Stock Recovery File
Does anyone know where I can find the stock recovery file for my One S [S3]
Its Htc_asia_hk the CID is HTC__622 ???
The beginning of the file name should look like this:
RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_ASIA_HK_

Flash stock recovery
Lock bootloader
Then run the ota update.

The problem is I didn't take a backup before I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp recovery so I don't have a stock recovery to go back to.
The RUU for HTC__044 has a different CID and won't work on my device unless I can extract just the stock recovery from the RUU without having to install it. Is that possible?

i also have htc__622 CID and i didn't make backup before fiddling with the innards.

What you have to do is
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Enter fastboot and run the RUU for your phone
Your phone will then be just as it was when you bought it and then you can run the OTA. Make sure you find the right RUU for your phone. I have been searchiing for one for days and couldnt find it. Hope this helped

Where can I find stock recovery for HTC One S c2?
How to lock bootloader?
THANK YOU!

I have a question.
I already flash 4.1.1 via OTA and use some bloody init.d script for R/W system, that doesnt work and gives me reboot after I enter into supersu app.
My question is... how can i flash 4.1.1 again (i wanna clean system, just for better feeling.) If Im using TWRP recovery? Because, ota file doesnt contain stock recovery as RUU does and I didnt find any ruu for 4.1.1 CID_032 | villec2.
sorry, for my bad english.

You cant flash OTA trough TWRP, thats my problem also. My CID is 032 as yours. If you find RUU JB, send me the link please!

Maybe a stock recovery of JB would be enough.

Hello guys,
Try this:
Step 1: relock the bootloader (start your phone in fastboot, open cmd, got to folder where are fastboot files, type "fastboot oem lock" )
Step 2: find your desired stock jb or ics online. http://filesdownload.net/showthread.php?70-HTC-One-S-(-RUU_VILLE-)-(-RUU_VILLEC2-)
Step 3: connect your phone to the pc in fastboot (make sure you have the htc drivers installed).
Step 4: run the RUU or stock file as an exe. An installation guide will follow, just follow it through.
Step 5: Now you are in stock ROM
It should work after this!
On my HTC One S [S3] , CID HTC_032 works

splanet.info has something interesting
At least ota is there for htc__622

After I locked my bootloader and tried running the OTA update I tried a few things that didn't work.
But what did work for me was when I unlocked bootloader again
And used Hasoon's Toolkit for One S
and reflashed the recovery file. I used the recovery_signed.img file (5,957 kb) that I had saved from when I was rooting it the first time and renamed it to a one word name per Hasoon's instructions, then flashed it.
Then I relocked bootloader and did a factory reset and ran the OTA update and it worked.
I was lucky that I had that recovery file saved. Still not sure where I got it from. But one thing for sure is that it was hard to find a RUU file for my CID. Hasoon's toolkit does have links to a website with a list of RUUs on it but mine wasn't on the list.
If you want me to email you my signed_recovery.img file send me a pm with your email address and I'll send it.

Latest 4eXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6_RC1 as PG88IMG

Latest 4eXT Recovery Touch as PG88IMG incase anyone wants/needs to use it For s-off devices. Download the PG88IMG.zip file, put it on the root of your sdcard (Not in a folder) then boot in to bootloader, bootloader will find the zip and ask to update recovery, press volume UP for yes and your done. Just reboot.
Edit: has been confirmed to work with s-on with unlocked bootloader (htcdev)

I didn't try with this file, but when I was on CM10.1 I tried the method you described, but it didn't work. The only way to install a custom rec if you're S-ON is via fastboot. This is my experience.

On S-OFF the method with the file on sd-card and the bootloader to find it - it works.

Hi there,
I'm new to HTC DS. Tonight i unlocked trough htcdev.com, but still have S-ON with HBOOT 2.00.0002
After unlocking i installed 4ext.
But for cm11.0 i needed an newer 4ext.
So i installed it with your guidance. And it worked flawlessly!
Only thing is, that after a reboot it again finds the p88 file and it wants to update again.
I don't know how I overcame this, but after three times i got into touch recovery.
Flashed cm11 and all went fine.

Yh u must delete it off ur sdcard r it will ask to update everytime

Or just rename it

It depends really, u need to be s-off to use it and each htc phone has different file name,
htc desire - PB99IMG
htc desire s - PG88IMG
htc sensation\XE - PG58IMG
so if u extract that file ul see "android-info.txt + "recovery.img" and thats all u need. Take the recovery.img from the device u want to use it on and then get the android-info.txt file and use 7zip to zip the 2 files together and name it, for example PG58IMG and ur done. Simple really. Just make sure that the recovery is named recovery.img for it to work.

sounds great - thank you for your help

1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).
Have also tried a few more methods but none seem to work.

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

Get the boot image from the custom ROM. Try to extract it with 7-zip or another similar program

also before flashing any rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
then enable smartflash and flash the rom

Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?

You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.

Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
