I was installing a new ROM and mistakenly deleted everything including the rom and all sdcard files. I can still boot into recovery and fastboot but no adb. I have unlocked bootloader and s-off. How can I restore a ROM on my device??? Can I do it using fastboot? Any help would be GREATLY appreaciated! I have been trying to fix for 3 hours now
You should be able to push a Rom from your pc while in recovery, I don't know if it is an adb command as I haven't used the side load feature in recovery yet.
If you have an otg cable you can install a Rom from that also

Thank you for the reply. I was unable to get adb to recognize the phone while in recovery. I ended up restoring the device using the HTC ruu program. I had to relock the device to do this. I now have been able to restore my phone, installed TWRP, and have a rooted ROM. I still have s-off but cannot regain "unlocked" bootloader after "relocked" was done. How do I restore the "unlocked" bootloader now?
Thanks for the help.

I am on twrp, and I have to fastboot to recovery through the pc when I want to flash a rom, is there a recovery which I can just flash away like I did on my old evo?
thanks for all the help I've gotten here
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
what hboot do you have? if you have 1.5 then you pretty much have to do the pc method in order to get the ROM to work fully with no problems.
1.5....cause on some ROM instructions it just says wipe, flash etc...with no mention of the fastboot method
am I to assume its just a given?
thanks

I got my Evo 3d off Craigslist this morning and i love it. Traded my Evo 4g plus cash for it and i couldnt be happier. I was very successful in rooting the 4g amd never had any problems that i can think of and im hoping the same goes for the 3d.
Anyways ive been reading and reading on how to root it, get s-off so i can install a recovery and them flash a rom and kernel. Ive managed to confuse myself because it seems that if you root it one way, you may not be able tp fash custom kernels and if you use another method to root it, your more than like to have all sorts of problems.
Basicall i need help and if someone could post a link to show me best method on how to root, s-off, install custom recovery, and install a rom on the 3d it would be greatly appreciated.
I have Sprint (cdma) Android 2.3.4. Software # 2.08.651.2 hboot 1.5, baseband 0.97.10.0808

I ended up goin a different route by using the HTC unlcock bootloader and that was suscessful. I still have s on and I think I'm gonna keep it that way for now but I need to install a custom recovery.
I've tried setting up sdk all morning and can't get the cmd to recognize adbas an interal or external command. Not sure what exactly it is that in doing wrong.
I wanting to know if there'sa way to install my first custom recovery thru the bootloader in my phone without using my computer so I can flash the su.zip and get this thing rooted. Thanks

The twrp recovery has a method to flash that recovery without a computer by downloading it as a zip and naming it properly. See their site for detail.
I still recommend s-off since it is easier to flash Roms and the ics Roms tend to bootloop with s-on.

I dowloaded and renamed it to PC86100IMG.zip then went to bootloader, it read the zip but said "update fail, main version older!" Have any idea as to why its saying that?

It looks like you renamed it to the wrong thing. If you downloaded TWRP 2.2.0 zip, it must be renamed PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd card. Then when you update in bootloader, it should work.

Hmmm... Does your phone boot? If so, you could download 4ext (see my signature) and install their app. Then it will push the custom recovery for you. I use 4ext myself anyway.
I tried using their app already and it won't let me since I don't have root

Just wanted to give you a thanks again for all your help. I was finally able to figure out why adb wasn't working. Once thaat was fixed, I installed twrp recovery and flashed Su.then did the wire trick which me VERY nervous but it worked and got S-Off after a couple tries and I then installed 4ext recovery from which I understand is the best recovery available. Thanks again!

Your welcome. Glad you figured it out. I personally have never had an issue with the 4ext recovery.
I made a mistake by not thinking clearly.. I have a s-on DNA that has NOS 1.06. I made the mistake of not keeping two different pieces of software on my phones memory and flashed NOS. Currently I can not get passed my HTC ONE screen to put a ROM that works with my phone... Is there anyway I can fix this?
Go onto recovery and use the adb sideload command to flash a rom.

To get into recovery go into recovery(pwr+vol down), then depending on your recovery you need to find the sideload option(probably in advance or something similar), then just plug it into your computer and use the adb sideload rom.zip command to flash a rom.

Hey all,
so I've come into a bit of a conundrum. I was playing with the MaximusHD Jellybean 4.3 ROM. It was alright, but not for me. So I decided to flash back to stock. After a bit of finagling, I got a Stock Rooted 4.1.2 ROM for my phone, and was able to flash it. But now, I can't RUU my phone back to complete stock. Relocking the bootloader produces a **Security warning**, which prevents booting. Now, with an unlocked bootloader the stock ROM boots fine -- but locked, it doesn't boot and goes directly to bootloader. Can someone please walk me through getting my phone back to normal? I've used the RUU before to return to complete stock once before, except I'm not sure what I've done wrong this time around. Any help is appreciated. Also, I have TWRP recovery (latest version), unfortunately without a Nandroid backup
My phone works fine right now -- albeit rooted. Thank you!
Try flashing a stock recovery before relocking.

Exact same problem here
Hi,
I have the exact same problem here, i've had my HTC One with a 2-year plan @t-mobile but with the stock rom i haven't had any t-mobile bloatware/splash screen. Is that normal?
Also if i flash a stock t-mobile rom it hangs at the bootloader.

I don't have S-OFF, but I can get it if necessary. Will that help me any?
Yes it will help. I am no dev. Once your s off you won't need to lock your device and can run ruu

Will this allow booting to my rooted ROM / will it remove the **Security warning** that prevents booting?

Unfortunately, flashing a stock recovery just prevented my device from booting normally. I had to reflash TWRP to get it to boot properly... unless I just didn't give the boot process enough time on the stock recovery.
You can put any recovery on your phone, lock it, and run fastboot rebootRUU from hboot to run the RUU.

Hello, I just bought a used AT&T M8 and am trying to convert it back to sense. Im not familiar with messing with HTCs. I see in hboot that it is unlocked and s-off. It looks like they put pure google on it. Ive been looking and seeing different instructionson gett phone back to stock but they seem scattered. I saw and tried running official ruu for 1.58 found in another thread but only get to the point where it tries to reboot into boot loader and then it says it cant and to find a ruu compatible with my device. I cant tell what custom recovery it has. Everytime in hboot when i choose recovery it just hangs and says bad command. Can somebody tell me instructions on how to run this ruu?

Okay, making some progress. Pushed latest TWRP via fastboot. I'm assuming if I flash stock ROM and then push stock recovery via fastboot, then you I should be able to run ruu?

In your boot loader, what os does it say you have? We need to know if they did a true gpe conversion or just a rom. Does it have 3 android guys on skateboards or something else?
On the boot loader, it just says os-. I have attached a pic of my boot loader. Thanks for responding.

You are on an gpe conversion and cannot flash sense roms. You need to follow this guide to get back to sense

I know you solved your issue another way. But just so you know (and others, too) an RUU does not typically require stock recovery; while OTA does require stock recovery (probably the reason for the confusion).
Thanks. I ended up just flashing the RUU yesterday with stock rooted Rom and TWRP. This is why I love XDA. I was able to buy a M8 pretty cheap and thanks to people here, I was able to get it going.?
