okay try to download 4ext app the link is here:
http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
this will give you a recovery without flashing through adb

or maybe you have not enabled usb debugging its under developer on the settings

As the post above says you can get 4EXT Recovery on your device , but first you will need an eng Hboot cause I think that is the cause of your problem. Got to the Unlimited.io website and click on downloads and down load the Hboot version for the pyramid and the version or Android you are using. Then use the following fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fasboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
This should fix any fasboot issues or other ADB issues because all commands are usable with the eng Hboot.

well im stuck in the bootloader how would i use an .apk sorry if im a rookie and cant get to debug cuz i have nothing to boot off dam im not explaining it well i think lol

thx

No you just need to download the Ub_hboot.zip, then place it in the tools folder or what ever folder your fasboot is in. Then boot uourdevice to bootloader and select fastboot and connect your device via USB to your computer. Then use the fastboot commands I posted.

Yes that meansyou have the eng(engineered) Hboot which means it is UNLOCKED. You have to have a unlocked Hboot to use all the ADB and fastboot commands. But you have to be S-Off to flash the hboot, you are S-Off right? I ask cause some how you have missed installing it if you S-Offed with JuopunutBear S-Off.

@ayene
Now you've really done it...
Really and I mean REALLY should have taken my advise to just s-off your phone when you were on 1.28.401.1.
Your only option (Anyone correct me off i'm wrong) is now to use HTCdev to unlock, then install a custom recovery and then install a rom (it can be sense 3.0 if you like) and then you can have a working phone and then (if you want to get back to stock again) change your misc version which was most likely changed by 2.10.401.8 RUU and r flash your 1.28.401.1 RUU friend.

How should I say Solved?

I am out from QHSUSB but can't flash recovery!

Hello,
I do not know how but my phone get out from QHSUSB and now I can go to hboot.
The problem is there is no ROM when the phone boots. It's stuck on HTC logo.
I have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV but it is not S-OFF. Hboot is 1.18.
When I go to fastboot I can write "fastboot flash.... recovery.img" and it goes OK, but after restars bootloader I tried to go to recover but the phone just stuck on that logo again.
I have tried CWM and 4EXT but it is the same problem.
Can I flash RUU without recovery and ROM?
Help, please!

Normaly RUU (Rom Update Utility) is an exe that you can run from PC to bring a ROM or ROM update to your device. As far as i know.
Where did you find this three commands?
May you could post you question to the Unbrick thread to, i´m sure that there are people that can help better as i can, because i´m a Themer and not a Developer. ;D

Can you boot your device into Bootloader by pressing Volume Down+Power Button. If yes put the PG58IMG.zip on SD Card and Boot into Bootloader, normaly the device will flash the P58IMG.zip if you start into Bootloader.

Okay, normaly the device should flash Firmware (P58IMG) when booting in bootloader. You sure that you put it directly to SD and not in a folder. PLS ask in the Unbrick thread, there are a lot of people that are more fit in developing as i am. I telled you what i´m knowing. Sorry that i couldnt help you to bring your device back to life but maybe there are people that can help. Give it a try pls.
You got the fastboot command wrong, its:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In any case you cant flash a firmware with S-ON that why the unbrick thread says find an RUU exe and run it

Flashing an RUU is a must after unbrick.
The error you got wile flashing the RUU is because your bootloader is unlocked.
Relock your bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, flash an RUU.
If you can paste the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
then I can provide you with a link to the appropriate RUU for you.
Please remove your IMEI & Serial Number from the output.

You need the one that is for your device. PG13001 is Sensation XE & PG13000 is Sensation.
You said your mid is PG58130 so I gave you both.
Choose the right one for your device.

You will also need to unlock your bootloader after flashing the RUU if you want to flash recovery.

I have successfully flashed the RUU. The Hboot is now 1.27, but still no luck boot or getting to recovery.
Tried to flash custom recovery again. It was successfull but I can't get to it.
I think that partitions in nand /emmc/ are messed.
Some other ideas?
do
this
boot to recovery using this command
fastboot boot recovery.img
then if you booted up fine ..then flash a custom rom from it

did you flashed RUU with HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader ?
if yes ..then relock the bootloader ..fastboot oem lock and flash the RUU again
Also what is your cid ?
if possible ..post the output of this command (except IMEI)
fastboot getvar all

Possibly bricked phone?

I'm going to keep this as short as possible so I can go back to trying to fix the problem.
I have an unlocked and rooted one x that was running the ViperXL rom. I decided to flash magic rom after doing a complete wipe. At first it all went well. I let it boot and went back into twrp to flash the 3.6 update. but after doing this, it went into a boot loop. I decided to go back into twrp and give the rom another chance with a second install. But now, for some reason twrp reboots into a loop.
So now I'm left with no os and a recovery that is somehow broken. If I can get into twrp, I can flash a rom I know works.
I found twrp 2.6 and tried to use hasoons toolkit to flash it, but it just fails immediately.
Can anyone tell me how to push twrp from fastboot or something that can help me out here? I don't know adb commands apart from reboot commands.
I really appreciate any help with this, thanks
The fastboot command for flashing a recovery is:
fastboot flash recovery "TWRP.img"
(Whatever the exact recovery filename is, without the talking marks)

How do I go about installing adb drivers on an xp machine? Is this what's giving this error? I've only done it once on windows 7 over a year ago. I have no idea where to start. I've installed HTC drivers
Edit: I have the drivers and have installed HTC drivers (not sur if its the same thing), but I'm unsure of how to get them to work from cmd. the command adb devices says adb is not a recognized command
EDIT: do you have fastboot/adb installed on your pc?
Are you opening the command window from within the folder where you have adb/fastboot installed?

I think I do, I've installed the HTC drivers from Hasoon's toolkit. And I also have the files for adb. But I don't know how to open command prompt from a specific folder.
I'm downloading the files from the link you posted, I'll update whether or not I get it to work
Ok, It's installed and working, but the command adb devices doesnt show my phone? I'm in fastboot and my phone says fastboot usb
Try uninstalling htc sync if you have that installed, but leave the drivers installed.
And yeah get those files I linked to as they should be the latest.

I've installed the minimal adb files you linked, and "fastboot devices" shows my phone. Only problem now is when I try to push twrp it gives an unknown error. I'm so lost. It's been forever since I've done anything like this. Below is the error I'm getting
C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
error: cannot load 'TWRP.img': Unknown error
Is your recovery actually named TWRP.img?
Sent from my Evita
yes, I renamed it to match the recovery in hasoon's toolkit. That was the first thing I tried using
do i need to move the recovery somewhere? I just left it on my desktop. I wasn't sure what to do with it after I took it back out of hasoons toolkit.
If it matters it's twrp 2.6.0.1. The one that's corrupted is 2.3.3.1
The recovery needs to be in the same folder as your adb/fastboot files.
To open a command prompt within that folder, open the folder then hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder. In the list that comes up well be an option that says open command prompt here.
Sent from my Evita
---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------
Where are you downloading the recovery from? I can't see a version 2.6.0.1 yet.
Download this one:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-evita.img
That way I'm sure you have the right one.
Sent from my Evita
I'm using the adb program you has linked earlier, so it's just an icon on my desktop. What folder should I open cmd from and copy twrp to?
I appreciate the help. I know I'm making this complicated lol.
It's no problem. Create a folder on c drive called android. Move adb and fastboot into that folder. Also move your recovery into that folder.
Sent from my Evita
Ah. you're right, I was stressing out and downloaded one for the t-mobile htc one. I have the 2.6.0.0 release now
Ok so when you flash the recovery do this:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you should be able to select recovery.
When flashing MagioRom, you don't need to boot the phone after flashing r3.5, you can just flash that and flash R3.6 right afterwards.
Sent from my Evita
Ok, but where do I put the recovery before flashing? I don't know where the adb folder is. I just have an icon for minimal adb.
Edit: I typed in the command to push twrp and just did a drag and drop of twrp.img and it said it all went ok. but it still just goes into a bootloop?
This is what I did:

Did you do this command:
fastboot erase cache
Then do:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery on your phone
Sent from my Evita
Ah. no. Ran through everything again and erased the cache and now it's working!
Thank you for your help, I was worried I had really messed up my phone
Edit: I lost everything on my sd card and I can't mount it? Is it just this version of twrp or is my sd card messed up too?
Did you do a factory reset in bootloader? Looks like you did, because that corrupted your sd card.
You'll need to connect your phone to pc, go into recovery, select mount, and select mount usb storage. Now in Windows go to my computer or device manager, find the drive that pops up, and format it to fat32 format.
Once it's formatted you should be able to mount it properly, copy a ROM across, and flash it.

Wow. I had no idea that corrupted your sd card. I've been doing that for awhile now.
It's fine as long as your bootloader is locked (if you're stock).
But if you're unlocked, yeah, it screws it up.

[Q] HTC All in one toolkit <device not found> HELP!

Hey guys,
It was freaking hard to unlock the bootloader and S-OFF my htc sensation. But I was successful in doing it. I've using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233.
When I first unlocked snesation, I S-OFFed it but then the bootloader showed LOCKED again, even though the guide says it should say Unlocked. (I unlocked it correctly the first time). So I Unlocked it again... i found no other way.. Then it showed Unlocked.
As of now, it shows...
-Firmware-3.33-
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100

I used adb and fastboot through Mac while I'm using HTC Toolkit from Windows. If thats the prob how to I fix it?
I've tried a lot! I put 5 hours on this but failed!
Help would be seriously appreciated!!!
Are you trying to flash recovery? Do you have adb fastboot setup on your PC? You can flash recovery via fastboot from your PC.

Yes, I'm trying to flash a recovery to flash a custom ROM.
ADB fastboot is setup.
Could you send me a good guide for flashing via fastboot. I'll try it and update you. Should I just put the recovery file in to the fastboot folder and use the fastboot command?

Yes, put the recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot folder, boot ur phone into fastboot then plug in ur phone to computer and it should say FASTBOOT USB. Then in the fastboot folder, hold shift - right click - open command window here. Then type -
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You now should have recovery installed

You're S-off I guess? You're already rooted as root is a prerequisite for S-off. Download app root checker from play store and check your root status. It should say rooted.

did you select fastboot in the hboot screen?
did you enable usb debugging mode from settings?
do you have htc drivers installed?

Won't boot into recovery

It all started yesterday where i was trying to update (InsertCoin) which for some reason made my phone shut down mid-way through the installation process...
I had to reboot my phone back into recovery to wipe system/cache/data to reinstall...For some reason this wiped/damaged everything but the bootloader ofc.
(Bye go all my pictures, whatsapp conversations etc...)
This made me not being able to boot into my recovery aswell
I still can't get back into my recovery, and i've tried flashing the recovery over and over again via fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
When i try to flash the recovery, it succeeds but when i try to boot into it, it blinks the splash screen with odd intervals, i dont know if this means that its trying over and over again...I'm sort of desperate here...any help?
sidenote here: I'm in linux
you should've updated firmware to hboot 2.22 needed for IC, then you need to install the latest recovery 2.7.1.1 from twrp website
twrp here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m4ul
new firmware here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759131
I have not updated it, will go and do that now,
Code:

Right.....!?
I really don't want to reboot to bootloader at the moment...since the update failed...
Apparently i am S-ON and therefor need to obtain s-off, but i don't have an android system installed..how
s-off required to flash firmware or if s-on, bootloader needs to be re-locked, sorry i assumed you knew that! maybe create a signature giving details of your device for future, it does help.
If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.
Code:
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
This ahappens when flashing the firmware
*edit: I have fixed that, but i cannot flash the 2.22 included y you because it has a different modelid, presumably because my m4 isn't the at&t variant.
Will this work?

no that firmware will not update everything that is required, use the firmware zip in the link i gave previously.
you need to change your cid to supercid,,,,very simple to do
Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make a note of your original CID.
enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" make sure it is 8 ones (1)
enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

Yeah, i just tried that 5 minutes ago, though...:
Code:
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error
Gosh...my device doesn't like me..
oh, wait, don't i have to unlock bootloader?
i'll try that now
OMG IM IN RECOVERY
cant seem to do anything with my data partition, same goes for internal storage
well you've done everything that i done when i tried out Insertcoin rom for a few days and never had any of your issues. so not sure whats going on.
- unlocked bootloader
- get s-off
- get supercid
- update firmware
- get latest twrp recoverry
- install Insert Coin
use the fix miniwhooper posted on her firmware thread ....Flash stock recovery and factory reset from boot loader. It will fix you /data partition.. then flash custom recovery and it should be fixed

Make sure you are in the folder your rom zip is located.
Run the command...
adb push filename.zip /sdcard
Wait around 10 minutes as it will not give you progress
go back to TWRP main page and install, choose SDcard and the zip file you just uploaded should be there.
