[Q] Sticky Bit Fastboot

So... Anyone have any experience getting sticky bit turned off on fastboot? My phone boots to it anytime I try to reboot or do a regular boot up.

Mine did that for a short while after I screwed up a flash, I reflashed boot and while running tossed the adb command to get into fastboot and then left it properly. Haven't seen it since.

To clarify... Flash boot from recovery, while that is running adb reboot bootloader? If that is the case I have a different set of problems to "boot", I can't get my pc to recognize the phone while in recovery. Everything else is recognized, even reinstalled drivers to be certain, pc doesn't even try to install a driver for recovery. Tried both TWRP & CWM.

Memory is fuzzy but I'm pretty sure I did it from fastboot, this happened to me about the time shabby was trying to fastboot boot boot.img and I ended up flashing it instead.

I had this same issue when porting TWRP ^^^.
I can't seem to find my posts on it right now, but someone just said do a clean flash. No problems since

how did you do this please!

Okay, this will probably help you...while your device is in Sticky Bit Factory Fastboot, open up a command prompt and connect to your device (given you know how to do so in your folder containing your fastboot app and drivers). Then type "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" This command will allow your device to boot into system normally. Problem is (I think) when a failed flash occurs sometimes it sets your device in that mode and the above command clears it. Another way to manually place a device in the same state you described is to enter this command using fastboot: fastboot oem fb_mode_set. I believe that is how RSD Lite automatically reboots your device into factory fastboot mode after flashing partitions (.mbn) on your system so that it may resume flashing the boot, recovery, and system images, etc. Let me know if it helps.....

Boot Loop

A few days ago I tried getting my phone to s-off using the "[how to] manually achieve s-off,simunlock,supercid for Inspire 4g/DHD" guide on the Android forums. (Sorry, I can't post direct links.)
I got to the part where I was supposed to type in "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to the command line but I accidentally skipped that part and typed in "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img". I stopped everything and tried to start over but when I turned my phone back on I was stuck in a boot loop. Going to hboot and trying to choose Recovery or Factory Reset only results in more boot looping.
I've tried putting PD98IMG.zip on the SD card and booting it, but it only reads it and says "Parsing..." before doing nothing. Attempting to enter recovery mode after this makes it enter the boot loop again.
I've also tried using the HTC Sense and RUU from AT&T on my computer to fix the issue. My phone can connect to my PC after choosing fastboot from the hboot menu. The RUU can see the device and it starts recovering it, as my phone shows a black background with HTC on it. But the RUU stops after trying to update the signature saying "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again." I am 99% positive I am using the correct RUU.
I've searched high and low on the internet for a similar situation, but everyone else seems to have their problems solved using either of these steps. Thanks for any help.

Without knowing what you did (since you haven't given us a step-by-step and can't post links), we don't know how to help.

Sorry about that. I'll try to explain what I did the best I can.
Before using the guide, I managed to root my phone and used it for a few days, so everything was fine then. I later decided to s-off it so I could flash a custom ROM to it. Using the guide I mentioned above, I created a mini-adb directory in my C: drive with the ace-tools.zip that I downloaded. Using the command line I copied my stock boot image, though to where I do not know. (I feel like a fool for doing all this without being sure of what I was doing exactly. I deserve what came to me.) Then, using the command line I made my SD card a gold card. After that I changed the "misc version" (?) to allow installation of the downgrade firmware, and then relocked the boot loader and booted back into fastboot. Then I flashed the downgrade software and unlocked it again. It's here that my phone was supposed to be unable to boot, and I was supposed to flash the boot image but skipped that step.
Now I'm unsure of what I have to do, and I only want to get my device working again.
I wish I could post the link to the exact topic, but since I can't I guess you'd have to search the topic name to see exactly what the directions were trying to get me to do.
Thanks again.

Can you boot the phone into fastboot and flash the boot.img from fastboot?

No, with the PD98IMG.zip file it simply says "Parsing..." and stops there. With any other boot image it doesn't acknowledge it at all. Even though the computer makes the sound that it's connected to the device when it's in fastboot, adb can't recognize that's it's there in the command line.

Wait. What? Not PD98IMG.zip from hboot. Extract the boot.img and flash from fastboot, not adb.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I'm supposed to extract the boot.img to the SD card and enter fastboot on my phone, correct? Because I've just done so and nothing happened. I have the options Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, and Power Down, and the Bootloader option only takes me back to the hboot screen.
Sorry if I've misunderstood you.

No, the boot.img needs to be on your computer. Your phone needs to be in fastboot mode. From the folder where the boot.img is saved,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I can't use the command prompt to connect with the device because it can't see it. I always get an "error: device not found" instead.

Is your phone in fastboot mode?

Yes. It's odd: the RUU software identifies it and knows it's there, but can't actually fix the issue. The command prompt just doesn't notice it at all.

So you're booting into hboot, navigating to fastboot with the volume buttons, and selecting it with the power button? What does fastboot devices say?

I'm assuming by "fastboot devices" you mean what it says in the command prompt.
...Well what do you know, it recognized it. I was typing in "adb devices" instead of "fastboot devices". So it can recognize it after all.
I'm assuming I have to load the boot.img now?

Hey hey, wa-hey!
That was much easier than I thought it would be! A simple "fastboot flash boot boot.img" followed by a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using some image files I made before messing everything up did the trick. Thank god I did so.
Everything's back to normal; my phone escaped the boot loop. And last but not least, I don't have to buy a new phone.
Thanks so much for helping me out, even if it was clearing a few things up for me. I appreciate it.

You're welcome. You could also have fastboot flashed any custom recovery image, flashed a ROM from recovery, and fastboot flashed that ROM's boot.img. So you weren't too badly off.

[Q] stuck in boot loop / pc not recognizing phone with adb

Hi,
I tried to install a ROM but it got stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to do factory reset but it gets stuck again. I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?

I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?
Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.I am using windows 7. I downloaded the drivers for HTC, and I am using a data cable and the USB port in the back of my computer, nearest the mother board. I do see "Fastboot USB" on the phone but when i type in the command prompt "adb devices" I get nothing.

That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)
Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.
Do let us know how it works.

As far as I know, fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works in recovery or system.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.
As for your post in your other thread, read my signature.

I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.

Dear friends,
I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.

HTC One S C2 Help Please

Hi, i want to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 to my phone, but i did wrong. Now my phone doesn't power up. i can enter bootloader mode, there isn't a problem with it. what can i do now please help...
And there is my bootloader screen.

Now i relocked. i'll try to install original ruu.

help please, i can't find acceptable Ruu for my version

I'd suggest starting from the beginning by going into fastboot mode and wiping system and boot and then fastboot flash the CM boot.img and recovery.img. If you can get into a recovery then you should be able to mount USB storage, push across a zip for CM10 that will work and then flash it.

When I soft-bricked mine, I couldn't find any RUU that would work, so I just thought I'd try and give you a different route. You should be able to get into fastboot mode if you can get into the bootloader? If you unlock the bootloader again, you can cycle through the bootloader options with the volume keys and select with the power button. If you select fastboot, or see "fastboot" highlighted, you can connect the phone to your computer and issue fastboot commands. If you've never done that before, I could give you a quick tutorial on how to, as I know it will definitely work whilst RUU's can be hard to find... Good luck though!!

[SOLVED] I need an urgent help!

Hello. I have a Poco X3 NFC and this is my problem:
I had OrangeFox recovery on it. I wanted to install another rom (from Arow OS because it wasn't work well), and one of the requirements was a decrypted device. I've flashed a file which is said it can decrypt it (and it did). After the flash, I rebooted my phone and everything was fine until I rebooted my phone again. Now the recovery bootlooped, the phone can't boot the system and adb doesn't recognize my phone in fastboot mode. It's weird that when the phone stucks at OrangeFox logo, adb recognizes my device (as in recovery mode). So I type the command "adb reboot fastboot" and it loops at the recovery again. I can go fastboot mode but fastboot doesn't recognize my phone, so I can't flash anything either. It's 4:20 a.m. in here and I can't sleep because of this.

When I plug in my cable, I can hear that "something is plugged in" voice in my pc. When I look device manager, it shows the phone as "Android Composite ADB Interface". When it stucks in recovery, it doesn't quickly boot so I can see my device in adb:
List of devices attached
940ab842 recovery
this is showed in adb when my phone stucks at recovery, but I can give commands like "reboot".
But when I type " reboot system", it doesn't reboot it system and just tries to open recovery mode, and recovery mode doesn't open, just loops.
I type ''reboot fastboot", but it still tries to open recovery and again, it loops.
I type "reboot bootloader", at this time, it can boot to the fastboot mode, there is an orange "fastboot" word at the middle. When I go back to adb and type "adb devices", it shows nothing.

I think Arrow OS files still in my phone but somehow it pretends like it can't detect them. And it wants to boot directly to the recovery mode but the another problem is recovery mode stuck in loop. When I want to flash a new recovery, this time I can't connect my phone to my pc when it's in the fastboot mode. It's like a problems chain and I couldn't find any exit.

sorry, no idea

Guess so, I'll go to a phone repair shop to see if they can do something about it (maybe their pc can detect my phone and they can flash another recovery), and if not then I am ****ed.

DUDE I ****ING SOLVED IT!
FIRSTLY, **** ORANGEFOX, if anybody see this do not use orangefox.
Secondly, actually I still have the same problem. TWRP is also stucks at the loop, but there is an interesting difference that TWRP tries to loop one time and after the fail, it suddenly boots the system.
And since I can flash something with fastboot, now I think i can save my phone. Now I'm trying to install stock rom, i'll update after.

How I solved:
Installing the Google Universal USB Drivers. It has a weird method to install, and I wasn't know you can install a driver even the phone is in the fastboot mode. So thanks to that I was able to install usb drivers and finally I could get fastboot to recognize my device. The first thing I did was installing TWRP.
My problem was not solved even I installed TWRP because TWRP was doing the same thing, but one thing was different: TWRP was trying to boot recovery, it couldn't and after it was booting to the system. So I've realized how amazing TWRP is. But it wasn't solved my problem completely though, I think its problem is related to that decryption file.
Currently, I've managed to install stock rom and I haven't encountered any problem.
And I'm happy because my mother won't beat me with her slippers.
