Founds this:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear: While in fastboot loop, this command exits the loop and allows your device to reboot normally.
I think it's for prepping certain phones (seems like some Motorolas) for flashing firmware and to boot it out of that mode if it's stuck or you don't need it anymore.
I've done tons of fastboot stuff on a lot of HTC, Nexus devices, and a couple of Motos and others and have never even seen either for anything.

It does not make a difference weather i use the fb make for flashing firmware as It has always worked without It. No doubt It works with the command as well.
What difference will It make if i dont use these? I cant seem to find any

I dunno. I've never had use of those commands, or even seen them, and I've rooted and / or restored tons of phones that had fastboot. Are you seeing those commands in a certain guide for your phone or something?
All stock firmware has these commands!

I downloaded three different firmwares for my XT1033 AsiaRetail, GBRetail, GPe all the factory xml files had this line in
Code:
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />
their XML files.
and i believe they can manually be activated by fastboot using
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
I just dont understand these commands and their purpose!
Thanks for your interest and help!
ANYONE?
ANYONE?
I still can't find any explanation other than it's something to do with the stock firmwares and it's only a Moto thing. Most of the stuff about the lines are that it works to remove them when flashing fails on a lot of phones / updates. Can't be that important.
I know this is an old thread but here is what I have found elsewhere. "fastboot oem fb_mode_set" forces fastboot mode on reboot. "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" clears the force to fastboot mode on reboot so that the device will boot normally. Motorola stock firmware uses these commands during the flashing process so that the device will always boot to fastboot until the flashing process is complete.
Dear Mr. Deej. I got the problem that almost the same here.. My Moto G default boot is to recovery. The way i could enter the rom is with Bootloader option "Normal powerup". Is there any way to change it back to normal with that command line? I'm currently on CM 12.1 Unofficial and running TWRP 2.8.6.0. Thanks in advance..

Device always boots into recovery. It wipes the misc partition. if you're using TWRP you can use the terminal and type the command straight into that.

I ran the hboot.zip file (jcase & drewrobinso). The flash worked (kinda) as I do have s-off hboot -1.49.2000, but the fastboot menu is still locked? I sure would appreciate some help... When I am in the fastboot menu, my only choice is using the volume rocker to access the recovery menu.
Thanks
What do you mean its locked? No extra options become available when you have an unlocked bootloader. And how did the flash "kinda" work?

that sounds about right. if you have the pbooimg file on your sd card, the only other option would be to load that.

To my knowledge, there is no special menu.
OTOH, you do have a whole new world of possibilities available to you by using the "fastboot" command on a PC. Since the security mode of the bootloader is now "S-OFF", no security checks are performed by the phone on any of the fastboot commands.
In particular, you can erase partitions, flash them, boot images without flashing them to the phone, and even replace the bootloader with a different bootloader (dunno why you would want to do that unless you were returning the phone, or for the purpose of a "roll-back" experiment.)
After downloading the appropriate fastboot executable (available for Windows/Linux/Mac OSX), type
Code:
fastboot --help
for more information.
You can get fastboot for Windows/Linux/Mac directly from HTC if you like; you don't even need the SDK. (About midway down that page, search for fastboot. Note that the fastboot utility is the only thing on this page you should be downloading - everything else is for a different phone).

Please, please, please make sure you have read and understood all the information about fastboot before you start messing around with it. since the Security is off you can really mess yourself up with Fastboot.
That said, welcome to the world of S-off, where we say, "whats a softbrick?"
Hi all,
I am trying to write software that runs on the PC, and uses adb/fastboot commands to the devices.
I know that there are manuall methods to get into the fastboot mode, but I am looking for a way to do that automaticlly from software, very similar has the RUU of HTC does.
Do you have any idea how they do it?
thanks

Thanks for the quick reply,
I have tried "adb reboot fastboot" but I get the message "error:closed".
I am not working on a rooted phone.
My objective is to write an automatic executable from PC, like RUU,
that will open root and/or flash, push new system image.
new phones on HTC and Samsung have unlocked boot loaders which allow to flash and update ROM or images.
But in order to do that the user has to get manually to fastboot.
Is there any other method to get into fastboot in a non-rooted phones?

(i got here with the same problem and this worked for me so i just wanna update this old thread)
All, I am sorry I didn't search more, but I am desperate. I go on travel in a few hours.
Long story short, my phone stopped working with 3g, I spent 4-5 hours on phone with sprint trying to fix. THey want it back to the store. It was HTC unlocked with Fresh. I used fastoot to do fastboot OEM lock, the phone rebooted and goes back to the bootloader screen, I can't get it to go back to Android
It says Tampered, Relocked, security warning. Please. Any help. Can I RUU from fastboot?
Yes
As long as you have the boot loader locked you can run the RUU, you can find the RUU in Android Developement.
Hook the phone to your computer, open a command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery" make sure USB debugging is checked. That should get you into TWRP recovery, then go from there.

After relocking the bootloader, I can no longer enter recovery. RUU doesn't seem to want to run because my phone is not up and running (it is already at fastboot prompt). Can I just get it to recognize my phone in fastboot mode somehow?

RUU is finally running now. Failed several times, and then just started working. I hope it works. Thank you everyone. Will post back
This happened to me as well. The only thing that I did that finally made it work, was to make sure that the path that I performed the fastboot oem lock command in was the path that contained the fastboot file.
When I did this, it would boot into my custom ROM and I was able to run the RUU without any problems.
When I would try to run the RUU from bootloader it would always tell me my battery was low, even though I was over 90%.
Happend to me too . I just ran ruu while in fastboot .

My beloved rezound has gone kaput.
I had clean rom on my phone until it stopped booting past the white HTC screen.
I decided to flash a new rom on the phone, as I couldn't seem to find the version of clean rom I had before.
My question is: Is there any way to flash the new boot.img from the phone itself? Or is it required to be connected to the computer itself?
To repair my phone it looks like the only thing I can do is re-flash Clean Rom (Because of the boot.img)
Is this true?
Thanks for any help in advance!

You can boot the phone into hboot and flash the boot.img from fastboot on your computer, but you'd be hard pressed to do it without a PC

Following what procedure exactly? adb devices brings up nothing when the phone is in HBOOT mode. I'm assuming you
don't use the same method as you would with an RUU or radio?
Apologies for my stupidity, I seem to be mixing this up.

You'll need to use fastboot rather than adb (same general procedure tho)
Make sure to highlight the fastboot tab in hboot and press the power button to select it, then on your computer type "fastboot flash boot <path to boot.img>" then when it finishes, "fastboot reboot" and you should be good.
Good luck with your interview
Adb is really great for pushing and pulling files from your system or sdcards. Flashing stuff is great for fastboot.

make sure your PC has the drivers installed. The ones for fastboot are different but should've been installed with the adb drivers. Check Windows Device Manager for anything that might not have installed correctly.
Also make sure you open the command prompt with admin privileges if you're running vista/7.
You should be able to write a boot image via hboot with a PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard. That way you don't need a computer.
I have only seen a few threads where people were stuck on the white htc boot screen. And they were all rooted with custom roms and such. And if this was my phone, I would also be rooted with custom roms.
But this is my dads phone. Completely stock from the day he bought it. Two days ago, out of nowhere, it decided just to never turn on again.
It boots to the white htc screen and then hangs there. Every few seconds the screen will blink. I tried to remove the sim card and boot the phone because I read that can be an issue. But notta.
Hes not worried about his phone, (I know I can do a factory reset on it and get it running again). Hes worried about all of his data. He had a lot of very sentimental stuff on his phone. My Grandpa just passed away and he had all kinds of pictures and stuff on there. Now a lot of that might be on the sd card, but I don't know how much is on the phone storage itself.
So I have a bricked stock recovery, stock rom, not rooted rezound, and I need to know if its possible to get any data off of the onboard storage.
I have the drivers and I have tried to use adb from the stock recovery, but it adb will not recognize the device. Fastboot however does recognize the phone, but from my understanding, I can't do any backing up with fastboot. I would need adb for that. I have also read that adb will not recognize the stock recovery, that you need a custom recover like clockwork first. But In order for my to install clockwork, I would have to unlock the bootload and therefore wipe out all the phones data anyways.
So Im really having a hard time here. I don't want to have to tell my dad that any pictures of my grandpa that weren't on the sdcard are gone now.
Is there any way?
Thanks for the help

I think so, ill have to double check when i get home from work in a bit. Im assuming because fastboot detects the phone fine.
If fastboot sees the phone and works, is there any way to pull the data off the phone? I was under the assumption that you could only "pull" and "push' files from adb.
So adb won't detect the phone at all unless the rom is running? So adb is out of the question?

When you say "use fastboot commands while in botloader / hboot"
What do you mean? When I start the phone by holding down the volume down key, it brings up the stock bootloader with a few options. (fastboot, recovery, factory reset, reload bootloader, and power off, I believe) But im not sure what you mean by hboot?
Fastboot only works if I select the fastboot from the bootloader on the phone. Then on the pc "fastboot devices" command detects the phone.
From there I should be able to use fastboot commands to pull data off of the phone your saying. Forgive me for this, but how do I know what commands to use to pull all the data off?

fastboot will only allow you to use commands...for example...extract the boot.img outta the rom you tried flashing and put it in the folder on your pc where you have fastboot stored....then cd into the folder in command prompt and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotations....if you read my s-off you will never have to use fastboot to flash anything at all....as for adb there really isnt much you can do to "pull" stuff from your phone...htc works much different than samsung or any other androids

Ohhhh ok, that would be great.
Im still a little scared about that though, because on my phone, unlocking the bootloader automatically factory rest and wiped data. And I keep reading everywhere that unlocking the bootloader on the rezound also wipes the data / factory resets. Even on the instructions posted here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...nlocking-rooting-rom-ing-faq.html#post2083197
It states that your data will be wiped. And that the final steps asks you to confirm to a factory reset to unlock the bootloader?
I mean, I guess at this point its my only shot anyways, ill never get those pictures off with the bootloader locked. But are you certain that unlock wont do a factory reset?

No it will not...that guide you posted has things way off....all it does is simply unlock your bootloader/hboot period....follow the steps they give here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and youll be set i also see no where on that page where it wipes anything...ive done this more times than i can count on both my hands and toes...i know what it does...updating via a ph98img file or flashing a new rom wipes all your data
Edit: i can even have many other people / and even developers vouch for me on this....i wouldnt lie to you

Unlocking your bootloader with a stock phone/recovery will do a factory reset.
Mine reset when it was still stock and both guides here state the same thing. I believe if you have a custom recovery the phone can't auto run the factory reset.

You get this warning on the HTCDev.com page also before you even start.
Are you sure you wish to continue?
You are about to start the process of unlocking your device. Unlocking your device allows you to install custom Operating Systems (“OS”) onto your device. Custom OS’s are not tested as thoroughly as your original OS, and unlocking your device may void all or parts of your warranty. HTC disclaims any and all liability for proper functioning of your device after the bootloader has been unlocked and for data lost in the unlocking process. To prevent unauthorized access to your data, unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data from your device including applications, text messages and personalized settings.
Do you still wish to continue?

I rarely disagree with you @REV3NT3CH, but I am going to have to this time and confirm @mjones73 statement... unlocking the bootloader wipes everything, it is clearly stated on HTCdev.com that it will do this as a security measure. The instant you complete the procedure, all data is wiped permanently.

@REV3NT3CH
Can a signed ph98img ruu be altered with 7zip without breaking a signature? I think I might have an idea and it involves flashing an empty userdata img, stock system img and matching boot.
@hxdrummerxc
When you power on to fastboot relay the first 6 lines to me in upper left please.
