i tried to flash a recovery and it didnt work and the phone is stuck in fastboot mode
use this
BUT, before you even do a thing, know that you have to use the files that are meant for your phone (you need the recovery and usb drivers meant for your phone; i believe you can use the other files)

My phone can't get to emergency mode and stuck in fastboot mode i have rooted my phone and backed up rom rebooted phone and went straight to fastboot mode what do i do
lg optimus c
Yes the tut didn't work for my phone. for some reason its not being recognized by the fastboot shell nor adb shell. I'd assume its completely bricked ? thanks for all the help.
My phone was not recognized by neither fastboot nor adb while in fastboot mode. "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" generated no result. Nevertheless, the following command worked flawlessly
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
So, it seems that it's not necessary for the phone to show up in adb or fastboot.
Droid DNA with Supercharged Hatka DNA got stuck in bootloop after running fine for over a year (ROM flashed last February)
I have a *fairly* recent backup if I could get it to boot to recovery, but I would prefer not to considering the 20ish Litecoins walleted on the device. I will be willing to give a whole Litecoin to whoever can fix my problem

Do you have adb? If you do the command is adb reboot recovery. Need to know more it just cycles? If so then try to push both power button and and both volumes until it has lights flashing at the bottom and reboots dont let go until it reboots. Other then that I am not sure. I tried to boot to recovery the manual way and it doesnt work. Which is why i Always use that to reboot recovery. Wait, I figured it out. Hold down volume power dont let go until bootloader comes up then let go of both. use volume down and select recovery and bam!
Okay so I tried holding down power and down volume to get into bootloader, it got me there and I could scroll to recovery, but it kept cycling the reboot before it would boot into recovery. I tried plugging it into the computer to use adb, but it just makes the plug/unplug USB sound in Windows. I also tried holding down all three buttons, and it makes no difference.

Ok so if you have fastboot you should be able to use fastboot to flash recovery. If you are going to use a backup then you would need to have the same recovery image you used for the original. My suggestion is go to twrp and get the image. make sure you are plugged in at bootloader and fastboot is selected. IT should say fastboot usb if you are connected correctly on the top. I am assuming you have fastboot? If not my suggestion is to get minimal adb and fastboot it is the easiest. after you have installed run this command.
fastboot devices
it should come up with your device number if it doesnt then you need fastboot drivers. If it does then take the recovery.img you downloaded and place it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb folder. I suggest changing name to make it easier, I usually just change it to recovery.img instead of whatever it downloaded as. Then enter this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should say sending and complete then enter this command
fastboot reboot recovery
bam you are in recovery!

IT is a lifesaver and so is adb once you learn how to use them you will be freed from lots of problems! Good luck.

ADB tool is no help, computer will not recognize my phone even with all the HTC drivers installed. I'm at my wit's end, starting to believe something in the phone's hardware is messed up because nothing is working

Which adb drivers did you install and you need the fastboot drivers also. I have never found a phone that would not accept a fastboot command what OS are you on?

ADB and fastboot don't help, since it won't connect to any computer. I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue
I figured out what caused this. About a month ago, I was deleting unnecessary files, and it had been a year since I'd flashed my custom ROM so I forgot what the process involved. I accidentally deleted the 'sdcard' folder, and the phone became a ticking time bomb for it to stop working. I bricked it didn't I?

No, If you have twrp use adb push and push a rom to your phone and then flash it and your fine.

1. Charge your phone (about 24 hours).
2. Let him rest (about 24 hours) without turning on.
3. Connect device to PC with original wire (Win7 preferred).
There is possibility that your BB will recognize phone.

If you can do "fastboot devices" then that means you are either in bootloader or fastboot mode. If that is the case, then "adb devices" would not find your device because it's not in the correct mode to be able to do so. You can access your phone with adb when it's either booted or most recoveries, but fastboot/bootloader mode is only for fastboot commands. Without knowing what phone you have and what update it is / was on, I can't really provide any more direct help. But typically there is a way to reload the OS via fastboot on most devices such as HTCs, Motorolas, and Nexus devices, to name a few.

adb devces does not work in clockwork mod either.....what is the easiest way to get this custom rom sent to my internal sd card if the phone wont boot up and os is wiped off the phone? it is an htc one...
adb should work in CWM... You might have to manually load the driver. Even if every driver works when the phone is booted and all, Windows can still have issues finding the right one in recovery. Check in your device manager. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to see if your recovery supports USB OTG and see if you can load like that. If none of that works, you'll have to reload the OS via RUU and start over with root/recovery/etc.
Mount USB and copy it from your PC to the phone or do sideload.

Neither of those things are options for the OP. He can't boot, so he can't mount USB (mounting USB in recovery hasn't worked for most phones since JB where most phones don't support USB mount - only MTP) and he can't sideload because he hasn't been able to get ADB working.
His options now are:
Find out why the adb driver isn't loading so he can just adb commands to push the file or sideload
USB OTG
Return to stock via RUU
Hi guys. I have an HTC OX+... I tried to flash a rom but something went wrong and I erased everything... Now I managed to switch my phone on in fastboot and in recovery mode. How can I sort the problem out?

I assume your PC has all drivers installed so go to command prompt, there go to your folder where adb and fastboot are.
It should be like this, cd C:\folder_where_adb_is
Now go to recovery mode on the phone and search for Sideload, it can be in install zip from your recovery, click it when you found it.
Go to your Pc and put the ROM to the folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then make sure your phone says it's in adb sideload mode,
On the PC write
Code:
adb sideload file_name.zip
And wait until it's finished
Let's say that's done, but you can't boot, it keeps restarting forever.
In this case, go to your rom.zip open it on the PC and there will be a file called boot.img
Extract boot.img to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Now on your phone, force it to close by holding power, open fastboot
Again open cmd on the PC and point it to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Then write
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

file_name.zip is your ROM name, for example if you have arhd it can be ARHD_V8.zip or something, just see what name the zip file of your rom has
if this is not the case try
ADB usb before trying adb sideload

No, you have to write only "adb usb".
Then try "adb sideload yourrom.zip" again.
if that didn't work, then reboot into recovery and go to command prompt, and write
Code:
adb kill-server
adb usb
adb push yourromname.zip /sdcard
that should work if nothing else works. im having kinda the same issue right now :/

I just fixed this on my phone, now to to control panel - uninstall a program and delete htc sync manager (only sync manager, not the drivers)
Then try again, if nothing, go to here and install that.
If installed, go to fastboot mode, plug in your phone and in that program, when you open it, it says install drivers, flash rom and such...
Now on the right there is flash TWRP recovery, flash that, if your device is an LTE variant (ATT, Telus) install the ones for that and international for international version, make sure you got the correct one.
Then go to recovery, on the lower-right side there is an "advanced" button, hit that and there should be adb sideload somewhere, click that and swipe left to right to enable.
Go to your PC and repeat the sideloading steps as I said before.

No problem, I had almost the same problem and just told what I did xD
My PC doesn't detect my phone when I use Fastboot Devices when my phone is on Fastboot mode. I get a blank space in return. Can anyone help me with this? ADB works fine, it's only Fastboot. Is there a Fastboot driver that I might be missing?
Thank you.
Edit: I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone.
Me too !
Drivers are here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
These are the ones I use for ADB/Fastboot.
May I ask if anybody solved this already?
Having the same issue, tried various drivers, but fastboot won't find my phone
Help is highly apperciated!
Clock
If you using windows 10 have you disable the drivers signature verification.. And search on here (XDA) for Min ADB & Fastboot tools, easier than using SDK tools unless you modding apks ect..
Okay, I got this working.
When in fastboot mode, you have to go to the device manager, update driver, and manually choose the google fastboot driver. Then the ! is gone and it works.
