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.

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.

Not via ADB commands ? Try a different cable ? Maybe you forgot to enable USB debugging? Enable unknown sources might help too
I had no problems booting via ADB
adb reboot recovery
I suppose try using a different PC and reflash a different ftf file. That might help as it will complete rewrite the recovery again in case you have screwed it
Check this post where I have successfully booted into recovery via ADB :

the whole of this was my phone was softbricked. I wanted to get into recovery so I could use ADB to try to fix it. When it's softbricked, ADB won't start up, therefore I could use ADB.
Trust me, I know how to use ADB, I just wanted to know if there was a key combination to get our phones into recovery mode with ADB because ADB wouldn't work because my phone was softbricked. It had nothing to do with me not knowing how to use ADB or how to set it up, it had to do with my phone would brick it self before ADB started, so therefore I couldn't send any ADB commands.

here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46681107#post46681107
Ok, let me try to explain this.
It's not drivers.
It's not ADB.
It's not my PC.
I softbricked my phone trying something. I didn't want to wipe it, so I wanted to try to get into recovery, where a limited ADB works.
I couldn't boot into recovery from ADB because it was softbricked.
I just wanted to know if there was key to hold down on boot or something to get into the default recovery mode.
I don't need drivers, I don't help getting ADB going, it works fine on my PC. The point was the phone was softbricked, in a boot loop, ADB wouldn't respond, wanted a key command to get into recovery.
I apprecaite the help but people aren't getting what I was asking.
Is there a key command to press at the bootup to get into the stock recovery on this phone? All my other phones, I know the command, but this one I've tried all the combos and no recovery.
Please, no more help on ADB, I know how to use ADB just fine.
Just is there a keypress to do this?

bootloader is for fastboot, not adb. but your computer should still see your phone. boot into recovery to use adb. why not keep a copy of your current rom in your storage just in case? or even a nandroid backup just in case? not pointed directly at you.. but when will people ever learn?

Go to CWM and connect ur phone to PC, then choose Mount and Storage>Mount USB Storage. Your phone will be mounted on PC. Then copy the CM11 zip and Gapps to phone SD and flash them. Flashing Gapps is not necessary though IMO.

it wont. you need to use adb to move whatever files you want to your phone. it wont show you whats already there. for that, you can use your recovery to see whats zip files are in your storage(in twrp you can also look what other files are there, not sure of cwm recovery.

adb push them to your phone(while you are in recovery), then flash them in your recovery. dont worry about wiping anything, just flash them(dirty, without wiping, so you dont lose any data).

if its installed, all you have to do is adb push the files to your phone. when ypu push them, be sire to write the exact name of the files when you push them.
first, make sure adb sees your device when its plugged in via usb, type.. adb devices
2nd, push your files.. adb push cyanogenmodromfilename.zip and then adb push gapps.zip

Can certainly try it. Newer ROMs do work better than this, however. If you were on Froyo, you will need the old baseband fix for any of these ROMs. It's OK, I use it myself.
Note that for KitKat, you need the newer recovery Clockwork 6.0.4.8. For others, the older 6.0.2.7, etc.
Maybe get your phone working again with that backkup before trying any other ROMs.

Use this to flash ROMs up to Kitkat.
For Kitkat, need the 6.0.4.8 version which can be flashed using recovery. ROM manager does not download newer versions.

Take out battery, press home/volume-down/power, replacing battery. Or variations of this scheme. Since I have never succeded in running fastboot, this is how I got my phone back after similar mishaps. Try several times. (Make sure you have charge on that battery because that will to it as well!)
I flashed that image from adb shell: flash_image recover /sdcard/....img. There is also a normal zipped version that can be flashed from whatever recovery you have up, but not recommended. Using the adb method, if it fails, one can IMMEDIATELY flash an img that is known to work and not be bricked!

Yes, but more physical action. Sometimes manipulating the battery can get back into recovery. Cost nothing to try.

If the flash that recovery zip (overwriting the current one) and this fails. Brick.
If I am alive in adb and I flash_image the recovery .img and it fails, I now have no valid recovery but am still alive, and can then flash_image another that is known to succeed..
Problem is that our phones are restricted to a 5 meg recovery section. The dev worked hard to get the new CWM small enough (taking out some functionality such as partioning sdcards to do so), but it is right on the line. On some phones, unluckily maybe yours, it doesn't quite fit on. There is also a new TWRP recovery around, same restriction but maybe would be OK.

I flashed the recovery that bricked the phone exactly through fastboot shell with the command above. So where I was wrong?
Is it possible I've "bricked" fastboot mode too? Or I can't enter fastboot anymore just because my back button is faulty?
thanks!!!

I have never succeded in getting fastboot from my PC. Did it in an adb shell session (which means android or recovery was alive and kicking).
What messages did you see on the flash_image? Any error? Did it fit?
From the adb shell, if the flash_image fails, I can flash another img which I know is OK (must have that around on the sdcard). Then, no harm done. Otherwise, it is possible that the flash over-wrote the existing recovery, but failed. Thar's the problem.
recovery
When I flashed recovery from fastboot shell, everything was ok and no errors showed up.
From that moment, screen is always black.
While recently trying to update my opo running cm11 I clicked install update but then it rebooted and just went to a black screen and did nothing. I rebooted it but it hadn't installed. I found my boot loader was locked and i had no recovery at all installed does anyone know how to fix this.

Use fastboot & ADB guide for beginners. Download all required files so your PC can Connect to OPO VIA USB from PC. What PC OS do u use? Windows or Linux. Watch how to unlock boot loader, root, & install recovery tool or Return to stock OnePlus one YouTube video. Easiest start. Your phone will be OK. U need to down load drivers so u can use your PC to talk to your phone - pass instruction & activate 1+1 options. Install CM 11 or whatever ROM u want to use, as well as, 1+1 tools u may have lost is Recovery Tool.

You don't need a recovery to unlock the bootloader. Just boot it into fastboot mode, connect it to your Mac, and type 'fastboot oem-unlock' on the Terminal. Be careful, though, because you WILL lose ALL of your data!

Hmmm no recovery? When u hold down volume + power ?
Did u find the fastboot & adb tools for Mac?
What happens when u hold volume key up + power button at same time after turning device off?
What happens if u $fastboot devices -
Can u issue cmd "$fastboot oem unlock"
Know its frustrating but have to keep trying till u get in. Just have the rom files unzipped on your Mac ready to flash 1+1 when u get in. Its how I did it. When I wasn't able to but into recovery. Get on fastboot go thru OEM unlock, then flash 1+1. Follow the install script manually. Open script w plain text reader & just issue cmds following script. I don't trust scripts I + automation to get things unstuck.

Use Google, there are plenty of guides available online. Once you have fastboot working the best thing to do is to flash the stock images with fastboot. I have detailed instructions in section 8a of my guide here:

Please note that fastboot commands are slightly different on a Mac but you'll see that when you view a guide on how to set it up and use it.

There's no point in duplicating my guide when all that's needed are a couple of extra characters prefixing each fastboot command.

Dude, in the time it's taken you to ask these questions here you could have already found the answers online and completed the task. I'm here to help people but I'm not about spoon feeding, it doesn't benefit you in any way.

What does it return?

You definitely can't boot into recovery? Most times not being able to get into recovery it's a case of user error. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the OnePlus boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.
