The usual DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk!
Fastboot mode usually comes up if something went wrong when trying to flash a recovery image, for example when flashing AmonRa recovery or ClockWorkMod. It happened to me several times so I tried to learn to revive it without reflashing the original firmware. Note: This tutorial works only if recovery is the only one broken. (If the ROM itself is broken, then that's a subject for another tut.) In this case, the most logical thing to do is just reflash the recovery image. So how do you do it in fastboot mode? Here's how:
Symptom
You tried flashing a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod or Thunderg, or you flashed an incorrect ROM, and when you rebooted, it showed this screen:
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc_start()
and the phone stays there. When you plugin the phone to your computer's USB, it is detected and the screen has this display:
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc.start()
-- suspend --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
You will need
1) Your PC and your USB cable for the phone
2) USB drivers for your phone (use B2C from LG).
3) Android SDK (download from here)
4) Java, required to run the SDK (but right now I am not sure if this is required to run fastboot!)
5) ClockWorkMod or AmonRa Recovery.
Here's what to do
1) Assuming phone is turned on in fastboot mode, plug it in to the USB of your PC. You will know that it is detected if you see the the lines "suspend", "reset" and whatnot on the phone's screen.
2) Extract the recovery image from the zipfile downloaded from step#5 above (e.g. LGp500-recovery-v12.img). Place the image file in the same folder where fastboot.exe is (usually in the tools\ folder in the SDK). For your convenience, rename the img file as recovery.img
3) Fire up your command prompt and cd to the directory where fastboot.exe is located. Then type the following command:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Once you get the confirmation that it was successful, type this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you get the success confirmation, reboot the phone, or you can also type (optional):
Code:
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot itself, and with any luck you should be able to go back to your same old Android bootscreen. Note that no settings were modified here, so this is extremely useful for those who do not want a clean slate after a fastboot nightmare.
Also, note that if this is successful, you can now boot to recovery with the usual button-combos, thus enabling you to flash ROMs and other recovery zips.
Note: On some SDK versions, fastboot may not be included. For your convenience, I have attached the fastboot binary I got from my downloaded SDK. I have also attached AdbWinApi.dll which some user reported is missing in the SDK. Place the DLL in the same folder where fastboot.exe is located.

Good tutorial, but you forgot to say that LG USB drivers are needed and that fastboot.exe must be downloaded before (it's no more included in android SDK)
thanks man

You are right! I should add that here. Also, I got the latest SDK to verify and found fastboot.exe under the "tools" folder. Can tell me which SDK version you downloaded?

Wow, that's strange. I have r11 and it is included there. For your convenience, I have attached the fastboot.exe from r11 on the first post. Thanks for trying this out.
i have a question... if we don't see the fastboot line on our breaked phone and we see just stuck at LG Logo and the Recovery is broken too, what we can do?! how we can enter in fastboot mode in this situation?
hey
I run the CMD
executed cd command but the next command
"fastboot erase recovery"
gives the following error ( see the image)
Please help
@arvinoids:- mate your work acted as a GOD to me for now. I solved my above issue by just googling the AdbWinApi.dll, downloading it and putting it in the same directory as the fastboot.exe

Hi. Sorry I was away for the weekend and just got back. Thanks for reporting this. I just did a search on my desktop and found out that AdbWinApi.dll is included in the platform-tools package. I will add the instructions to download the package from the SDK. I'm glad you were able to revive your phone. Thanks again!

I'm afraid your issue may not be a subject for this tutorial. Fastboot mode is activated when the phone's recovery image is broken. May I know how you are sure that the recovery is actually broken?
I'm extremely new to this and this website, sort of. So if any of this is wrong impression already sorry. A few weeks ago I rooted my myTouch_4G_Slide, using s-off. I'm pretty sure that went OK as my phone is still currently rootly rooted. Next I tried using a custom rom, i am not exactly sure what I did wrong but, I cannot boot into recovery and when i go into Hboot I get multiple "no image" popping up. I can't factory reset and when i try to boot into recovery my phone gets stuck at the mt4gs screen and i have to take out the battery. Is there anyway to fix this, easily hopefully.

You said your phone is s-off and "rootly rooted". I assume you meant "permanently rooted"? Did you use the right version of superuser (2.3.6.3 or above) and clockwork recovery image (4.0.0.9)? You can ignore the "no image" message, I get them all the time and I can still boot into recovery no problem.
I have the right superhero version but i don't think I have the right clockwork. How could I fix it, without having to boot into recovery.

Sounds like you need to reflash your recovery. Since you can get into fastboot still, this is an easy fix.
Just download the recovery image from here -
http://android.modaco.com/topic/343...e-mytouch-4g-slide-unofficial-modaco-edition/
once downloaded, enter hboot and select fastboot. Once your phone says "fastboot usb" on it enter the following command into fastboot -
Fastboot flash recovery c:/android/tools/recovery.img
The "c:/android/tools/recovery" portion of that command will be variable based on where the downloaded recovery image is contained on your computer.
Id say that has a pretty good chance of fixing your prollem =). Keep me posted

um, yeah. Fastboot is like ADB, but a different tool included in the SDK. Do you have the SDK? It's relatively simple, let me just break it down to maximize simplicity.
1) If you don't have the SDK, download it (in zip format) here. If you do have the SDK,
2) for simplicity's sake, create a Directory on your computer (the hard drive root) entitled "Android" (so that it's c:\Android).
3) If you didn't previously have the SDK, once it is is downloaded, extract the files.
4) assuming you run windows, navigate to the SDK, there's a subdirectory called "tools". Move that folder into the Android folder you created.
5) Now. take that recovery.img that you downloaded... (if you haven't done so yet, look to the link I provided in my previous post) move IT to the Android folder as well
6) open a command prompt and change the directory to the tools subdirectory of the Android folder (type cd c:android\tools), You'll now see a command prompt beginning with C:\Android\tools
7) make sure your phone is connected to your computer and in fastboot mode (select "fastboot" from the Hboot screen, it'll then say "fastboot usb" on the screen). I"m assuming your drivers are already properly installed since you were able to root your phone.
8) type in the following command into the commmand prompt - "fastboot flash recovery c:\android\recovery.img
That should do it =)
Sorry this took awhile, I am having trouble with the command prompt I can't get it to change

If you have the SDK installed on your computer. Here is what you need to do in order to get back into recovery.
#1 Boot your phone into bootloader, Vol up and power
-Plug into computer using usb while in fastboot(bootloader) and see if it recognizes it. Type adb devices it should list a serial number for your device.
( My SDK is installed in c:\android\) so you would type something like cd c:\android\tools and hit enter and then type adb devices )
#2 If you have installed sdk and pdanet drivers and your computer still does not see your phone in fastboot is this. Go to the folder where sdk is installed and copy everything excluding the folders that is in the Platform-tools folder into the tools folder. After that download Stock Phone files unzip it into a folder on desktop.
Dont run the script yet, what you have to do is after you unzip the stock look in the folder you just unzipped them in and you should see a file called fastboot, adb, and some other .dll's AdbWinApi.dll and etc move only these 4 files to your sdk tools folder.
#3 Now re open a cmd prompt and go back to c:\android\tools (enter) then type in adb devices and your computer should recognize it this time around.
Then all there is left to do is download the recovery of your choice here's mine Recovery and after you download it rename it recovery. After you rename it move it to sdk tools folder and while still in fastboot(bootloader) type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now be able to enter recovery and flash roms again
EDIT #1
If you havent setup SDK here is a wiki guide on how to do so http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Make sure you are using the most up to date drivers and then use ADB to install recovery again. If I'm understanding it right I think that's what you need to try.

i've already installed the CWN-SuperSU-v0.94 from the command.
today, i downloaded the CM9 (latest release on 8/9/12 for STABLE) and installed it from command line. everything went well.. EXCEPT.. upon booting up.. i only see the cyanogenmod 9 (cartoon figure) with the background flashing. it kept on going for close to 15 mins and still wouldn't go further than that.
i then took the battery out and tried it again and still the same thing. so now i recovered back to the original ICS.
i wanted to go Jellybean, but the thought of camera not working won't do it for me. plus waiting for TMo to release the JB.. who knows how long that will take.
anyway.. decided to stick with ICS.
what am i doing wrong here? or should i be using a different ROM; one which can also overclock the cpu?
please help~~
when SON and HTC-DEV unlock ..you need to flash stuff differently
after flashing the ROM you need to flash boot.img separately
now if you are having CWM custom recovery then
flash the cm rom again from it
and copy the boot.img from the rom zip file to the adb/fastboot folder
then flash this separately
connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this)
then this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot using
fastboot reboot
thats all
but if you are having 4EXT custom recovery ..then things will be much easier for you
just enable smartflash from 4EXT->tools then flash the rom thats all (the recovery will take care of the rest )
also once done do the step #5 from this guide flashing ROMS with SON ..then you can even forget about smartflash (read the guide too it will give you much insight as to why you are facing problems ..especially step #3)
the recovery method i used was the HTC ONE X thingy.
i found the boot.img in the recovery folder. so after i flash the CM9 from the zip file, i'd have to reboot. so instead of reboot, are you saying i need to hold down volume and power to get into recovery mode and flash the boot.img separately?
and where can i find the abd folder? do i use the SDK to copy and paste the files into that folder/ directory?

not that boot.img ..you need to extract the boot.img from the cm9 zip file that you have downlaoded ..dont use the boot.img from the one-x tool kit
also yes ..you need to go to bootloader after flashing cm9 (but first copy the boot.img in pc)
then the adb folder is where the adb.exe and fastboot.exe is present (as you did HTC-DEV unlock ..you might have it in either C:\Android-SDK\tools or C:\Android-SDK\platform-tools)
go to there and open command prompt there
(if windows hold shift + right click ->open command window here)

sorry i must've ended up clicking on the wrong link. so i went back to the previous post you put up.
now if you are having CWM custom recovery then
flash the cm rom again from it yup, i did that. i have the CM9 from cyanogenmod
and copy the boot.img from the rom zip file to the adb/fastboot folder
then flash this separately
yup, i created the adb folder by renaming the root-sensation-wind.zip file from your post. it didn't have the fastboot.exe in there, so i copied it from the SDK manager tool that i had installed previously when i downloaded the wrong file. i also copied the boot.img from the CM9 zip file as you suggested
connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this) yup did that..
then this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
yup did that, and it was completed
then reboot using
fastboot reboot
yup did that as well and it rebooted
thats all
but wait.. the sensation is still stuck at the cyanogenmod 9 with the blue man blinking.. and it's past 10 mins and counting. still won't boot.

sorry i must've ended up clicking on the wrong link. so i went back to the previous post you put up.
now if you are having CWM custom recovery then
flash the cm rom again from it yup, i did that. i have the CM9 from cyanogenmod
and copy the boot.img from the rom zip file to the adb/fastboot folder
then flash this separately
yup, i created the adb folder by renaming the root-sensation-wind.zip file from your post. it didn't have the fastboot.exe in there, so i copied it from the SDK manager tool that i had installed previously when i downloaded the wrong file. i also copied the boot.img from the CM9 zip file as you suggested

Rather than dive head first in to a situation I can't get myself out of, I'm going to make sure I have everything I need before I begin. I have not received my Htc One x yet, but assuming it comes with 1.85, I follow these steps.
Device setup (hopefully):
Device: Att Htc One X
Filmware version: 1.85
Step one: Root
Following these steps... Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1709296

Step 3: Flashing preferred Rom -NOT INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS OF ROMS-:
I have selected Nocturnal Limited Edition... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816853
Following these steps...
How to Flash
Download Rom.zip and save to phone storage
boot into recovery
wipe system
wipe data if coming from another rom
wipe cache
go to flash rom
select the proper download
follow the options in the Aroma installer
Reboot & Enjoy
Some questions before attempting:
"boot into recovery" Meaning I use Twrp2 (from download link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447)
"Wipe system/data/cache" I assume thats done via recovery (Twrp2) correct?
"go to flash rom, select proper download" I assume thats similar to clockwordmod, where you find the Rom on your sdcard (in this case, phone storage) and select it.
"follow options in the Aroma installer" follow instructions in the installer... simple enough.
Is there anything I missed? Devil's in the details.
Edit (more questions): In the following thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296) it says "Put su in same directory as ADB. Get to adb command prompt and cd into that directory"
Put su (superuser) in same directory as ADB, means that you put Superuser in the same folder as ADB, right?
and cd into that directory. What does this mean?

That's the wrong root procedure for 1.85. You need this one:

I tried to do this using that post but found it confusing and had some trouble with it. I prefer onexroot.com. they have a great guide here http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/root-any-htc-one-x-windowsmaclinuxattinternationalone-click-method/ hope this helps!

cd means change directory. It is a windows command prompt command. So you would type "cd C:\adb" if that was where your adb folder was. Folder and directory can be used interchangeably, although directory is more "correct". We only say folder because GUIs use folders to represent directories.

I'm not trying to be rude, but as stated in my opening post, first paragraph. I don't have my one x yet, I am just making sure I have everything before I get my one x so that way I don't have to worry about it.
Bump. Might get my One X today! (^_^)
Will keep updated on what happens
I really hope you find a rootable one.

I'm rooted (checked with terminal emulator) and usd debugging is ON. Set to charge only. No matter what I try, its not working.

Also make sure you use USB 2.0 and not front ports, but main ones on the back, if using desktop :thumbup:

Just did my SuperCID - and successfully unlocked BL....I just followed one-click by kennethpenn... where exactly do you get stuck? USB debugging enabled?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Step by step what I do.
Rooted: achieved. (checked via terminal emulator)
Next I connect my one x via usb, download the supercid file, extract it, run the file, get to where it wants me to press any button, I press any button, it then says it can't get the files and that my device is unchanged, then it closes out of the file. And that's where I'm stuck.
Any questions? At this point I'm thinking I'm missing something incredibly simple...
