i used to flash the boot.img using fastboot flash boot boot.img
But currently my device is not recognized.. could you please let me know how to flash boot.img in this case?
i could able use the phone as USB mount(dropping the files etc)
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling your phone drivers ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
sorry i didn't get you..
are you asking me to reinstall the drivers on PC?
Also i could able to detect the device in recovery mode. as you know couldn't able to flash in recover mode
Thanks
Yes I was referring to the pc drivers. And do you mean that your pc recognizes your phone when its in recovery mode ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes it recognizes in recovery but when i try to flash using fastboot.. it's just waiting for the device
Thanks
Did you put your device in fastboot mode then plug into your pc ?? Try this if you haven't already.
Power off your phone.
Then press and hold the volume up button.
Then tap/press the power button.
Keep the volume up button pressed untill you see a white screen. Thats your hboot screen. Then plug your phone into your pc. Or if your running a rom that has the option to boot into the bootloader you can do it that way. Or if your running twrp you can boot into the bootloader by selecting reboot from the menu then selecting bootloader. Then try and flash your boot.img

Well, I have a problem, my EVO doesn't boot, I was first on meanrom and made a nandroid backup(system and boot), after that I wanted to install MIUI, so I flashed with flash GUI, all worked fine in the ROM, but after I wanted go back to meanrom I went to recovery, nandroid menu, cleared caches and restore partitions(I always do the same if the ROM I have don't like me), but for my surprise, phone doesn't boot, it shows the HTC white screen and after that just shows a black screen, the phone isn't turned off, it seems like a dimmed black screen. I tried to run adb to flash the boot.img but the pc doesn't recognize the device, I tried to restore only the boot partition in recovery and install meanrom again(ROM i had before) with no luck. I don't know what to do, any suggestions? Oh, I'm on hboot 1.5
You need to also wipe data when flashing a rom with a different base or boot.img. What I would do is boot recovery through adb and flash ROM/kernel from there.

Yes, i wiped data and system too. And the first i tried was to flash ROM through adb but it says phone not found, is there a way to make the pc recognizes the phone?

Yes install HTC sync for our phone and after it installs you need to uninstall it. This will install the drivers for our phone. You need to make sure usb debugging is enabled and plug your into your pc. It should work now.

Didn't think of that, but it should still work. Try getting into recovery by holding volume and power to turn phone on.

you dont try and do it from adb then... go to your bootloader screen by holding volume down and then the power button.....select fastboot and then hook your phone up to your data cable an use this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
boot.img being the file that was saved in your backup flash that and that may fix your problem

fastboot and adb work at different times....adb is for when youre booted into the android
OSwith debugging turned on.... if you can run any adb commands then you can push any file you want.... but if no adb commands work you have to be in the bootloader area for fastboot to work....fast boot doesnt work when your at any htc boot screen it says its waiting for device bc its not set into fastboot usb modeagain.... turn the device off then hold the volume down buttonand press power.... friom there a screen will pop up and go through a file list and then come to a screen where the first option selected is "fastboot" press the power button from there and then hook up the data cable....you should see it say "fastboot usb" nowand from there you run
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot commands only work in one spot in the set up just like adb commands only work when youre fully booted into the android os

Idk if windows matters but i tried on a tablet with windows 8 with no luck, after I tried on a 64 bits windows 7 pc witness no luck but on a 32 bits windows 7 worked in the first try.
Your stuck in a bootloop and also you have lost you boot.IMG and you will have to exract from the zip folder of the Rom you have flashed and when that's done you will go to that folder and scroll down and you will see boot.IMG now copy and past it in the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot now open cmd and type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and press enter and your EVO should reboot enjoy

My phone is S-ON, this means that in order to install a kernel i need to use the FlashGUI app. I tried using a new 3.6 sense ICS rom, so i flashed the kernel and applied the zip in recovery. However, i didnt know that the ROM would not work with S-ON, so i tried flashing a new rom (d3rp rom to be specific) That worked, but when i booted up i was stuck a black screen, I think this is because I am on an ICS kernel. Next, I try to do a nandroid restore, but that doesnt seem to work. Whenever I nandroid restore I get stuck at "restoring recovery partitions" - it just stays there for so long, i waited half an hour then i did a battery pull. tried flashing the rom, no luck. What should I do? thank you..

Hi,
I had flashed the NexusXperia ROM on my Nexus S just recently. After trying it out I restored the stock ICS 4.0.4....
For some reason the phone keeps on showing the HD bootscreen continously without starting up....
I thought of clearing the dalvik and re-installing via restore however now that it's not got any recovery neither is it being detected on my pc....
I remember deactivating the USB debugging mode and probably this could be the reason it's not being detected....
Is there a way to flash recovery without debugging mode switched ON or is there a way to simply switch ON the USB debugging mode from bootloader screen....
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED ON THIS....
I have tried on windows 7 as well as on Ubuntu....but the device is not detected....thanks in advance.....
- DarKmentoR
On the Nexus S, holding Volume Up while turning on the power will load the bootloader and from there you should be able to use fastboot to install a custom recovery using fastboot. You should not need USB debugging enabled for this to work.

Just keeps on waiting for the device....adb not able to detect the device too
The phone is in the bootloader mode and fastboot doesn't detect it? Sounds like it is completely broken then, your only option may be the UnBrickable Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475
Ok...i can see a "FASTBOOT MODE" written in red when i switch on using Vol+ & Power....
Which mode is it ? Fastboot or Download....?

Fastboot is the mode you need to be in for fastboot.exe to detect the phone. Put it into that mode and try to flash the recovery with fastboot.exe using the command you posted above.
I have HUAWEI P smart. I am searching for a firmware for flash my phone.
Hi all,
I messed up with my HTC One Max (international GSM Single SIM 16GB)
* i flashed the wrong boot.img (secure kernel)
* Now the phone is turning on .. blank screen and turning off.. repeating
* There is no recovery installed, i can enter into it in between bootloop
* Vol - and power button is not helping as its a wrong boot.img so am pretty much stuck here as am not able to flash RUU n stuff to get back to stock
* Phone is locked and non rooted.
Can someone help me or am I bricked beyond repair?
Any thoughts please.

If you can find the last OTA zip you had and pull the firmware.zip file out and flash that in ruu mode. You likely need to hold volume up and power until it reboots then quickly start holding volume down to get to bootloader.

You can find your current software version on your bootloader screen. Then go looking for the update that matches.
You need to pull only the firmware.zip out of the update/otapkg.zip. You will the do the following from your pc. Make sure phone is connected and shows fastboot USB and that your firmware.zip is copied into your fastboot/adb folder.
Fastboot of rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If it says anything about flushing immediately run the last command again.
When complete issue
Fastboot reboot

I can access only this RUU mode, photo of current state/screen attached. I'm not able to go into fastboot since (power + vol-) not working.
adb is not detecting any device with the command............. "adb devices"

That's stock recovery. Hold power and volume up for 60 seconds. Does it reboot? If so, and you time it right you should be able to hold volume down and get into fastboot/bootloader.
A second option would be to see if the device shows up as an adb device if you chose to update via adb. If it does then use the command adb reboot-bootloader
So I want access the TWRP through fastboot command( since volume up + power botton wont work) but it's not reconizing the device.
I have USB debug on and I don't know if i have OEM unlock mode on because I can't find it in the developer tab.
I only want to root the device so I can install the google cam.
Any suggestions ?

RR should also have advanced reboot in developer options. You can than simply reboot into recovery.

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is that I have no way of reaching TWRP , If I do the Power+ volume up I will go to the MI-recovery 3.0.
What I do is, I restart the phone and only hold down the volume up button after the screen goes black. That always gets me into TWRP. But I usually use the advanced power menu because that's way easier.
Fixed the fastboot not get recognized on my computer.
I had to disable driver signature verification. Then I installed the proper TWRP version. Now the Volume up + power goes strait to the TWRP.
I am just posting here someone might find useful.
ty all for the help.

Did you forget to boot into your recovery.img after flashing TWRP via fastboot? "fastboot boot recovery.img". A lot of guides stupidly leave that out.

No my problem was that I could not even call fastboot through console because my computer wont recognize the device. If i called "fastboot devices" on the console it would not show any answer. Disabling driver signature verification made my computer recognize the smartphone usb , so all the fastboot commands worked as intended again .
You have driver problems, donwload the latest adb or install a virtual machine with Ubuntu or Debian, after that install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot. Then connect your phone to the virtual machine and access adb from there.
