[Q] Got fastboot but not recovery. Not-rooted.

Hi, second phone I work on.
Got this:
DREAM PVT 23B SHIP S-ON d
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-3.22.20.17
This one was a Rogers post-911 so had trouble. Using flashrec, I was only able to flash using their network address and not the recovery.img on the sd card (amonra 1.7).
Well after doing this, I couldnt get into the recovery menu so rebooted to work back from there.
So had to stop working on it and now the phone ran out of battery. Turning the phone back on gives me the ! mark after the splashscreen.
My friend did factory reset but problem persists.
I can boot into fastboot. Not rooted (S-ON) so I can't seem to flash the recovery image.
Any clue?

You'd need to flash an official (signed) ROM.

Thanks for the answer, really appreciated.
So I would only need to flash the signed rom and then boot and then find a way to flash the recovery and root it, right?
Any indications to a signed rom?
Can I still fastboot flash?
If you have paypal, I'll buy you a beer for helping!

Here i flashed with clockwork mode recovery.
Rooted using:su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
and finally installed CWM v5.0.2.0.There i successfully fully backed up current ROM too.So far everything was fine and now started the scary part.
after that i downloaded MIUI.us_saga_v4_2.11.9_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip and flashed with it.Everything went fine and no errors found and i kept whole night assuming it
would take time to get booted up.But i felt some thing is wrong and tried to restore my initial rom back up via CWM.But it restored with no erros but still stopped with HTC logo.
I did wipe date/factory reset,wipe cache partition, and wipe Dalvik cache and flashed CM 7.2 even result is same.And now i cant run adb where it shows no devices in fast-boot screen.
I feel i did a mistake by not using the boot.img in rom. isn't?Further any idea to make my back up work?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
used to had that kind of problem...i had to pulled out battery, power + volume button to enter recovery....in recovery re-install the backup......(note: pulling battery is very dangerous as mention everywhere here)

That was a mistake, yes. But if you haven't flashed any boot.img since rooting your phone, I would have expected restoring the backup should have worked.
Or have you flashed a boot.img in between?

1. extract "boot.img" from inside the zip file of the ROM.
2. install the ROM
3. reboot into bootloader and goto fastboot
4. in your PC's command prompt run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

I'm wondering, how many more threads like this can a forum tolerate. At any given time there are 2 threads like that on the front page of the forum. WTF? Should be THE most asked question since HTC released bootloader unlock - and people didn't learn to read/search yet.
FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT BOOT.IMG
Yes, that includes restoring from backups too. If you read that recovery can't flash kernels - it means IT CAN'T EVER FLASH ANY KERNEL FROM ANYWHERE.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop after accidently flashing DSPmanager

Okay, im done with everything, cant get it back working. So, here is my full story:
Got the HTC one mini, european version
unlocked bootloader, installed cwm, rooted, Backup.
installed xposed framework
everything working like a charm.
than i accidantly flashed the wrong zip file for DSPmanager v3. it was for the HTC One X.
now my HTC boots up : htc logo, blackscreen, htc one logo with animation ( beats audio logo on bottom) but no sound.
than it goes to the homescreen, everything works, but in just a few seconds ( about 5-10) it hangs and reboots -> bootloop.
-tried to recover from backup, no change, still no sound and bootloop.
-tried to recover with OTA update, didnt work, no matter what.
-checked the zip file i installed and found that it just copied some files :
system/app/DSPManager.apk
system/etc/audio_effects.conf
system/lib/soundfx/libaudiopreprocessing.so
libbundlewrapper.so
libcyanogen-dsp.so
libreverbwrapper.so
libvisualizer.so
-also found that the install script tried ( or maybe actualy did) : format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "/system");
now i am not quite familiar with the partition list of the mini, but i guess the script delete something importent.....
these are the informations of my bootloader:
***tampered ***
***unlocked ***

[Q] help! rom stops installing halfway

hey guys, somehow i've messed up some steps when i first tried to root my phone. I ended up wiping my OS and the phone is only able to boot into fastboot. I've downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.0 and tried to install the roms provided in the development thread but each time, the downloads get stuck installing halfway through. Even after waiting more then 10 mins, the progress bar still sits in the middle.
Heres what i did
Installed TWRP
Cleared catches
Installed superusr
At times, i cant seem to mount /data but it seems like after i installed superusr, the problem cleared, but whenever i try to install any rom after that, it will always stop halfway.
Here is what it says on my fastboot screen

Im at my wits end and i really hope anyone out there could help.
Thanks.

Try to do a factory reset, wipe all cashes etc, and what was the ROM? Are you sure it is compatible?

[Completed] Relationship: USB plugged in and Fast Boot

IF
( Fast Boot is unchecked [in Settings/Power/Fast boot] AND usb cable is attached )
THEN
using the power button to “power down” phone immediately boots to unresponsive TWRP screen.
ENDIF
What is the relationship between Fast boot/Slow boot and the usb cable? Is this usual behavior?
I am assuming this is a problem and show the important information below

Here is what I did leading up to this problem:
1. Unlocked bootloader (htcdev)
2. SuperSU (v2.01)
3. Nandroid backup with TWRP (which backed up boot and system and data partitions)
4. Try to install xposed (since I want control over my sd card!) Noticed that it would be easier if I had s-off (and wanted to s-off sometime anyway).
5. S-off using firewater (which worked)
6. Nandroid restore - restored system and data partitions (not boot)
Noticed problem at this point.
Here is what I have done so far in an attempt to fix this problem:
1. booted to TWRP recovery (via adb) and did wipe (factory reset - which wipes data, cache and dalvik). Problem still there.
2. Nandroid restore - restored boot and system and data partitions. Problem still there.
3. TWRP – fix permissions. Problem still there.

It would be beneficial to ther s if you could post in One Max General
Also the right experts would be able to help you.
