My hero cannot boot up as it gets stuck at the HERO boot screen.
It cannot boot into recovery as adb shell isnt working. I keep getting -exec 'system/bin/sh' failed: not a directory (20).
I cant reflash a recovery image in fastboot as i keep getting sending 'recovery' (3804 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
Also, when i click on HBOOT, theres a quick string of words that come out, and a repeated "No image!" appears.
Someone please help! Thanks!
First this isn't a development issue, it should in the Q&A or something.
Can you boot into recovery? By this I mean holding down the HOME key while turning the device on. It has nothing to do with adb. If you are able to boot into fastboot your device isn't bricked and you should be able to boot into the recovery and "recover" from there....
I'm sorry if i posted in the wrong forum. I pressed call menu and the off button to restart my phone, and quickly held the home button, but it still just stays at the HERO boot screen. any ideas? thanks
Turn off phone (if necessary take battery out for this).
Hold HOME button pressed and while HOME is pressed, press the power on button and release only the power on button. All this time keep the HOME button pressed until you boot into recovery.
At least that's the way I do it....
Since I couldnt use "adb shell reboot recovery ", I typed adb reboot recovery and it booted to recovery!! I'm sure i can fix it now. Thanks for your replies guys.
PS: sorry admins for posting in the wrong section

Hello guys.
I installed CyanogenMod 7 but I forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache (I guess that's what caused the problem). Now I get a loop in the cyanogen boot animation. I cannot go into fastboot (by pressing power on + vol down) nor RSD mode. Is there anything I could try to save my phone? (Atrix 4g; I installed this ROM atrix-dev-team - Development of CyanogenMod & other fun stuff for the Motorola Atrix - Google Project Hosting )
Thank you so much.
Wrong forum. Should be in Q&A!
You tried Vol - with power button?

He already said he can't get into fastboot like that.
OP you sure you can't get into fastboot or recovery? Are you trying to do it when bootlooping? Try pulling battery, then replacing it. Hold volume down, press power button and then let it go keeping volume down pressed. Or try the same but press volume up to go right to fastboot.

Hello guys. Yes, I have tried that, many times. I have pulled the battery several times, recharge it completely, things like that.
But, it still gets stuck in the "Unlocked Fastboot" screen or bootlooping in the cyanogen splash screen.
Any other ideas? Thank you so much.
Nevermind!
So you get the Fastboot unlocked message. And? Thats pretty much all you see on fastboot. Does the PC not talk to it at that point? Does it show "Starting Fastboot protocol support" after tapping volume up?
Are you instead trying to boot into recovery? Hold volume down and press power on to start. When the fastboot message appeares, release volume down, then tap volume down until you see Android recovery, then press volume up.
Thank you Genomerio. I was able to do an Android Recovery... I didn't know there were more options than Fastboot and RSD. I restore my previous backup and all is working now.
Thank you so much...
Me and my friend have been trying to get into fastboot for quite a while on this tablet, but we don't know exactly how to do it. His tablet's bootloader is unlocked, and we're trying to get CWM Recovery on it so he can flash a new ROM, and get rooted.
Anyone can help us out here, thanks. And if you know how to get there, please explain in great detail how to get there. Again, thanks.
Turn the tablet off. Power on while holding the volum down button when you boot it. It will tell you to push up for recovery for 5 seconds and when you ignore that message, you will see the screen change to three icons, the middle one is fastboot and is a usb icon. Press volume down to select the fastboot icon and volume up to open it.
To get into recovery you just power with volume down held until you see the boot screen and text at the top. Press volume up to get to recovery when you see that message on the top of the screen. Ignoring it will take you to the fastboot and wipe everything bootloader screen. You can use the vipermod tool to root and install recovery easily.

I was flashing a new rom, and must have clicked the wrong button in recovery. now my phone is stuck at
"Sideload started ...
now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ...
I Have no idea how to get out of this. i have tried rebooting the phone by holding down the power button, no luck there
and any command i try to type in such as
Adb reboot
is greeted with
"Error Closed"
Please help. im begging!
if it's TWRP press cancel
if it's CWM hold the power button for a longer period of time
Hello everyone, I have a HTC desire 610 here and I cant get into recovery or fastboot. I've tried holding vol down + power and every other key combo, and it just boots up like I'm not doing anything. The buttons work once the phone is booted so I know they're not broken. Is there any other way to access these options? What could I be doing wrong?
One forum post mentioned a fast boot up option in settings that may disable the fastboot and recovery options, but this doesn't make much sense since this would mean you have to boot into the phone (assuming its working) in order to recover it.
Any input would be appreciated.

Having fast boot turned on in settings doesn't make it impossible to enter recovery or fastboot but is does make it very difficult. It removes any delay at the start of the boot procces and skips some checks to speed up boot time, but this does make entering recovery manually really hard. If you turn of the fast boot mode (I think it was under battery in settings but I haven't used stock rom for so long I'm not sure) you will find it much easier.
Your other option is to enable adb (go into settings > about phone > tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options > hit back > hit developer options then enable adb. Then install "minimal adb" and htc sync(to install the drivers) then from cmd line type "adb reboot recovery" to enter recover or "adb reboot bootloader" for fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, i cant get into the phone settings because its password locked. I bought it at a police auction with a lot of other phones. Most androids are easy enough to restore but this one is giving me the issue i posted about. I guess ill have to keep trying the volume buttons and power.
EDIT: I was able to get into the recovery menu immediately after posting my reply. I did it by holding vol up+ power while the phone was powered on, it gives you a countdown then restarts. At this point to switched to vol down+ power and it kicked me right into the recovery menu.

There is another way to go to recovery option... setting>power>uncheck fast boot.
power off your phone ... the press and hold.. (power key + volume up key + volume down key) together......
fastboot

I found a way for my 610:
Hold power+vol up ,then when screen goes black and vibrates, stop holding power on, move to vol down before appears htc white screen and then will go into fastboot mode. Guaranteed.
Tried cydia impactor
Thanks it helped

I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0
