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.

Hi the program is actually called 4EXT Recovery Touch. I finally was able to open it through fastboot....Now all thats left is to find the right zip file to put my phone back to stock.

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.
Hi,
I decided to flash a caf rom, so i flashed twrp caf, erased everything with twrp, then sideloaded the caf rom(beanstalk). I then rebooted it warned me about no os installed, but i rebooted anyway. Now it is just a black screen, power button does nothing, wont reboot or anything. How can I fix this? .

Did you try different USB cables and USB ports? Try a different computer?
So there is no life at all when connected to a battery charger? Was the battery fully charged before flashing?
Maybe try opening the phone, disconnecting the battery from the mobo for about a minute, reconnect battery, insert charging cable, and see what happens?

the bootloader dosen´t change between caf or non caf, its the same one since it isnt an open source project. if it dosent detect then its a driver/connection problem.
however if you got to the bootloader, i would choose then to use download mode, which you can do with

If you are getting the word "BULK" in device manager, I think it is bricked. You need it to say "9008" somewhere in the device name.

Hey guys.
Some issues right now....
I can't get the phone to boot. It gets stuck on boot logo. I can get it into fastboot, but not recovery.
If I try to enter recovery, it shows boot logo, then change brightness level a little bit for some reason, then nothing. Back to boot logo after screen goes black.
So it appears that the TWRP isn't installed correctly, but I've reinstalled it several times, but it never actually seems to work.
I can see the device in fastboot. Bootloader is also unlocked.
So, does anyone have a solution for this issue?
I can get it into fastboot

This is good news as it means you should be able to just flash the recovery from fastboot.
1. Download the latest TWRP Recovery: http://twrp.me/devices/bacon (I believe this is the link, it's blocked at school )
2. type the command
fastboot flash recovery /location/of/twrp/img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Wait for it to complete and then reboot the device by holding down power and volume down.
4. Then if it boots into TWRP you should be able to mount it on the computer you plug it into and then carry over a ROM and/or GApps files.
I'm in the exact same boat, happened after I tried an OTA update. I can't flash anything into the phone via ADB because my phone isn't recognised. isn't recognised in ADB. This is while I am in Fastboot. I'm on OSX.

thanks for the help but im not sure if I had twrp after all . no matter what i can't get past the adb device "unauthorized" state. turns out the pixel2 is unique in not supporting usb-c to hdmi - thanks Google. i tried unified toolkit and vysor. next thing i might try is a hammer and send the pulverized phone back to Google.

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.

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.
