Please HELP!
I've the following situation: android isn't booting (stuck on splash-screen). I can't enter to Recovery (also stuck on splash-screen). I have an access only to bootloader and fastboot. I can control fasboot via fastboot utility on my PC (USB connects).
I don't need data on my phone, so my task is simple: restore my device. Any ROMs (even without root), any format etc. are approved.
My phone's info: [HTC Desire S-LCD | Gingerbread 2.3.3 | S-OFF | CyanogenMod 7.0.3 | Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 | HBOOT 6.93.1002 (CM7 r2)]
P.S.: I'm really need help, because I need to go soon.
SOLVED!!!!!
WARNING: all data on your phone will be lost!
You will need stock hboot from alpharev.nl and RUU.zip
Following this:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash hboot bravo_aplhaspl.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Now root the phone, install custom ROMs etc.
That's all!
I tried flash recovery under this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864774.
This steps were OK:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase linux
fastboot erase recovery
but when I want flash new recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4.img
display show:
Failed to process command getvar:max-download-size error(0x2)
I tested recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4.img, recovery-cwm-CM10-A3.img and cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img.
What should I do? Please help!
P.S.:Excuse my English.

Hi all,
Just in case anybody else can not go back to WinXP - or does not want to:
I ran into the same problem using fastboot (installed from SW Center in xubuntu 12.10). I solved it by using the parameter "-S 0". I.e.
fastboot -S 0 flash recovery recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4.img
This works also for recovery-cwm-CM10-A3.img.
Best regards
R. Egenter
Can't believe it.
Thank You so much for giving the fix for the Linux fastboot flash -S 0. I have looked for two days all over the internet. Finally, came across this thread and I don't even have this device but it worked on my Dell Streak. Thanks
Thank's Its Help
Hello. I wanted to flash a stock ROM on my Xiaomi Mi3 (Not Mi3W) and I downloaded an official stock ROM and flashed it using Fastboot.
Here's where I think I messed up. I used the "fastboot erase userdata" on the phone and when it booted up, The system storage is showing fine when I go to settings > storage but the internal storage is showing up as 0.00b and I cannot install any applications.
I've tried reflashing but nothing is working. Any ideas on how I can get it to work? Thanks.
Try to flash again with fastboot but with following comands:
Enter the following commands below by order:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot.img ,recovery.img and system.img it should be inside your stock firmware.

After much Googling, I was finally able to 'reset' the whole android partition system by flashing a CWM recovery, booting into it, and using ADB to fix it all.
Thank you for bothering to reply my at all. You're amazing.

Hi,
I was wondering how to unroot the nokia 1. Would someone be able to give me a pointer please?
Many thanks
Beepbopboop.
To unroot make sure you're in the stock system,boot & vendor then you'll have to go to fastboot
>fastboot erase userdata
>fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin (you can go to the other thread to dowload the stock recovery)
>fastboot flashing lock_critical
This will make your phone go stock and lock bootloader thus unrooting the device.
Hello - it's been about 10 years since I played with any XDA stuff or custom roms. I have a stock Motorola G Power that bricked itself. It will not boot and recovery mode just gives me "No Command". Only option seems to be factory data reset.
Can anyone suggest a procedure to allow me to either re-install the stock software to get into the phone or recover my data? Sadly I had not backed anything up since last summer.
Should I just try to reflash a stock rom to see if i can get in? Will flashing the rom kill the onboard storage?
Cant find the exact same version either:
SOFIA10/QPMS30.80-63-6-8-5
I found 63-6-8-10 and 63-6-8-3 but not the exact same. Phone is Retail US.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok found the stock rom that matches 63-6-8-5. Do I just try to flash that back to get back into the phone with my existing data?

You can try flashing the stock from and just skip the erase userdata step.
The firmware contains a file named flash_file.xml contains the flash commands
You can use Online FlashFile Converter to convert the .XML to simple fastboot commands.
You also should check if getvar is-userspace
Code:
fastboot getvar is-userspace
if yes you need to switch between fastboot and fastbootd
If it's no you don't need to worry about fastbootd

Do I need to unlock the bootloader for flashing an original file?

No, you shouldn't need to but it's easier if the bootloader is unlocked.
Unlikely, you can unlock the bootloader now anyways.
Unless you enabled OEM Unlocking in Dev Options already.
If you did enable OEM Unlocking, I would Unlock the bootloader.

Are the steps any different if the bootloader is locked? You mention it is easier if it is unlocked.
Thank you for the tutorial.

Easier may not be the right word.
If the bootloader is unlocked, you are less likely to have issues flashing.
ADB devices - does not return any devices, although I can see the phone is connected with the Motorola recovery tool.
fastboot getvar is-userspace returns:

I found where fastbootd is.

adb devices will not work if the device is in fastboot mode.
Use fastboot devices when it's in fastboot mode.

adb devices does not show anything in either mode. That is why I looked for fastboot mode. Should I trouble shoot that first?
This is what I want with the erase commands deleted at the end? The erase commands are what will kill my data or is there something else I need to remove?

Looks like phone doesn't respond to commands in fastbootd only normal.
I successfully ran the batch file, but the phone still doesn't boot. What is my next step? (besides throwing it against the wall!)
Phone accepts all the files for the current version of software, as well as commands to clear some of the labels. So the userdata is still there, I just can't get to it. Can you read these with a jtag like the older phones?
What if I try to roll it forward to Android 11 through the stock roms?
