Hold vol down as it goes through the next loop, and it will put you in bootloader. From there, you can go to fastboot mode and flash custom recovery. Then adb sideload, adb push a ROM, or load a ROM to the removable SD if you have a card reader you can connect to your computer. Then boot custom recovery and flash the ROM.

It means you are trying to run the RUU for another carrier version. What version do you have (this section is for AT&T) and what RUU are you trying to run?
How can I flash another recovery when the PC doesn't see it as phone. Tried two different cables . Once I get the PC to see the phone it should be ok . See the screen when the phone boots up.
Any other suggestions on getting the PC see the phone. I installed HTC sync also that didn't helped also ..
Will putting the recovery in sd card and then booting the phone work and dont I have o turn S-OFF before I can flash any ROMS ??

I thought you had S-OFF so no you can't load a custom recovery to your sdcard.

Try the universal drivers from the link below.

I will try universal drivers and see what happens. What commands
I need to try on the phone if these drivers work ??

The PC can see the phone, otherwise you wouldn't get the Model ID error message you indicated in the first post.
So no response if you type the following in command prompt?: fastboot devices
Fastboot and/or adb connectivity issues are rather common.
Another trick you can try, is to uninstall all HTC software (Sync and drivers) from your PC. Then connect the phone. DO NOT accept any prompts to automatically install drivers or Sync. Go to Device Manager, find the device, and pick the option to manually select the drivers, and pick the generic Android MTP device drivers.
Also try different USB ports. IN particular, if the ports are USB 3.0, that is known to cause issues (you may be able to disable the 3.0 drivers).
And if your PC is Win8.1, that is also known to be problematic.

Fastboot and adb connectivity issues are almost always a problem on the PC's side (ports, Win version, drivers, USB 3.0). Warranty replacement isn't going to help you.
I've given you a few suggestions on addressing the connectivity issues. You haven't indicated whether you have tried them yet, or not.
i tried your sugestions phone is showing up as HTC andriod device and running adb devices doesn't show anything. Not sure what else I can try , I am trying this on a windows 7 PC as windows 8 gave me so many issues .
@sguy156
So your running adb commands from c:\user .
I think your not navigating to adb properly.
I go to where adb and fastboot lives and Shift+right-click so I can open the cmd there
Thats what i did ran it from the location where adb and fastboot are installed same issues .
I hate to ask but do you have usb debugging on wile trying to use adb ?
Please keep an open mind as I'm trying to help ?

Try this out if you can't get anything going.order the cable and use a second rooted Android device (no drivers needed at a all)

I'm not trying to be rude but now that you have fastboot figured out I suggest you put the phone down in another room and start reading on what procedures to take next.
You learn the hard way by not looking in the "General section" where all the information is posted.
Yes you need the bootloader unlocked to push a custom recovery.
Thanks for your help , I found the other steps on other section . Hit post too quickly ..... Learning experience ..

Hello people
I think my HTC Hero is what you call softbricked.
When I hold Home + Power on to go to recovery mode I get this single line of text:
Build : RA-hero-v1.5.2
If I hold Home and press power on the text disappears leaving an all black screen. Pressing home + power on again brings the text back.
When I boot normally it just keeps saying "Hero"
I think I did a full wipe, installed VillainROM 6.0.0 and then did a OTA update to VillainROM 6.1.0. I did notice the latest rom being rather slow and hanging sometimes. Then three days ago it froze. I pulled the battery and when I put it back in I was left with what I've described above.
Can't access VillainROM's official website
Another frustrating thing is that w w w. villainrom .co .uk has seemed down to me this whole softbrick-period. But they've announced a new version and no one have commented on their site being down. Apparently I'm the only one who can't access it.
Vol. down + power on
I've never used this boot mode. But it's the only one which seems to work.
HBOOT says Sd checking and all the tests results in:
No image! or No image or wrong image!
FASTBOOT just gives a red box with the white text FASTBOOT in it.
What can i do?
I did a nandroid backup before installing VillainROM 6.0.0 but I can't access recovery mode.
I would like to install the official 1.5 RUU-rom but HTC Sync can't find my phone, neither can adb shell.
I can insert the SD card in my computer and put an update.zip file in the root. Is this a solution? I don't know how to make the phone boot the update.zip file or how this works.
Sorry for this long post. I've been searching the web ever since thursday without any luck. So now I'm just putting all I've experienced out.
I hope someone can help me. I would be very glad
Alright, if you can get to the fastboot screen, this is what you should do:
Plug your hero in fastboot mode into a computer with the latest android sdk installed.
DL the latest recovery for your device: I don't think I can post links yet so search the forum for Amon RA's recovery (1.6.2) and place it in the tools folder of the sdk.
Then:
Open a command prompt (or terminal for linux, idk for mac)
Go to the tools folder with cd
(./)fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(./ is for linux ^^,) And that should normally work
From there your best bet is to use Nandroid to recover one of your backups.
Thank you for your response
But I got an error:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.010s

via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:

I've also tried this but it resulted in: error: device not found
I've noticed how my phone says "fastboot usb" when connected to my computer.

The site isn't down, but some people can't get to it due to their DNS setup.
Use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to get it, or go to http://villainrom.grense.no/villainrom.co.uk to get in.
Re: Hangs on boot to recovery mode and normal mode
Mmm if i'm right you can't boot normaly ? It's strange..
Have you tried to boot without your sd card ?
I don't really know what the answer of fastboot means..

Yes, I have tried booting without SD card and without simcard aswell. My simcard is now in a good old Nokia 3310
I have updated the radio earlier
A while ago I updated the radio to this version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
Is that an android 2.1-radio? And is that what's causing "not allow" when running fastboot flash?
What recovery image would I then be allowed to flash? An official one?
Or is it my bootloader (that's SPL, right?) that needs to be flashed to a version that allows the fastboot flashing?
I haven't been able to find a guide on flashing SPL on HTC Hero.
Is this the way to go?
Still need help or is this now sorted?....
It's now working
My phone is now working. I did the following:
1. Connected my phone to a computer with HTC Sync and drivers installed.
2. Started the bootloader on my phone (vol. down + power on, hold until bootloader starts).
3. Pressed back to start fastboot. It said fastboot usb because it was connected to my computer.
4. I tried to install an official 1.5 RUU rom. The phone responded and began the process. It cleared/deleted some caches/files or something. But then my computer and my phone said that the ROM installation had failed and that I should find the right rom.
5. Somehow this cleaned up the phone so I now could boot in recovery mode as I used to (I didn't try a normal boot, so can't say if that worked). I did a full wipe and flashed a custom rom (not VillainROM 6.0.0 ).
Even though VillainROM has made me sad I will now go for VillainROM 10.
Wish me luck
And thanks for your responses.
Brilliant. Just edit the title of your thread to put [SOLVED] on.
And good luck, but i'm sure you wont need it.

Excuse me, what Android system recovery do you mean? The system recovery menu that the vodafone smart tab 4g has by default?
I didn't mention this recovery method in my writing. Other method I explained. The CWM recovery method as follows:
First download and decompress:
SmartTab4G_Recovery_KK_benjaminwan_EN.zip
switch on the smart tab 4g and connect it via USB to your PC. USB debugging should be turned ON!
and in command line in a terminal type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot cwm.img
wait a little and then you will see the CWM screen and then install the cm-11-20150714-M12-pop8lte.zip file which must be copied on the microSD TF card you inserted in the tablet. When the flashing is over, reboot and you're ready to go.

Now you need to go into the bootloader mode on the tablet.
So,
1. Switch it OFF
2. Press and hold the volume DOWN button together with the power ON button and keep them pressed for 5 seconds until you see on the tablet screen the black screen with the writing "POWERED BY android" in white at the bottom. You are now in bootloader mode.
3. Connect the tablet via USB to your PC
4. Download and decompress: SmartTab4G_Recovery_KK_benjaminwan_EN.zip
5. In command line in a terminal window on your PC type:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot cwm.img
wait a little and then you will see the CWM screen and then install the cm-11-20150714-M12-pop8lte.zip or any other ROM file which must be copied on the microSD TF card you inserted in the tablet. The Google APPS (nano and pico) zip files should also be present on the TF MicroSD. After installing the ROM file from zip on the SD card we need install one of the GAPPS files. I personally installed the pico to have more space on the /system partition.

all the unzipped files should be in the SAME folder/directory on the PC.

I also advise you to unplug/remove ALL other USB devices from your PC before booting it up and before trying anything with the tablet.
The only plugged USB device to the PC should be the Vodafone Smart Tab 4G

And where is the right drivers? My Vodafone Smart Tab 4g P353X is bricked and the only connection that i have is for QDLoader 9008 with QPST. How to establish connection for ADB?
Now in device manager i can get Android Bootloader Interface after installing official POP 8S drivers, but i still can`t get the device to be listed in ADB... and to see the tablet in device manager i have to hold power+vol down. Power+vol up=recovery mode and vol up+vol down= qdloader 9008(download mode for Qualcomm).

How did your Vodafone Smart Tab 4G get bricked?
I would propose you to consider to connect it to a Linux PC (running Linux Mint for example) and install the latest ADB package on it and then connect your Vodafone Smart Tab 4G.
In Linux you don't need any drivers.
Hi everyone, a little bit off topic but related to this tablet: does this tablet have the vibration and and the brightness sensor?
Thanks

oops no! automatic brightness is not available on this tablet. my mistake. I am using other ROM which has such an option in the picture you sent but it does not work
so, no. auto brightness is not supported here. no such sensor.

Are other roms extremely better than the stock Vodafone?

you're welcome.
my personal view is that, yes, they are better because they work much faster with less computing overhead for the tablet providing at the same time more features.
one however, need be extra careful when flashing those ROMs to the tablet in order not to cause damage and brick it.

Connect ONLY the Vodafone Smart Tab 4G to your PC and in command line in a terminal window on your PC type:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot cwm.img
all the unzipped files should be in the SAME folder/directory on the PC.
I hope this works for you
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------
I also advise you to unplug/remove ALL other USB devices from your PC before booting it up and before trying anything with the tablet.
The only plugged USB device to the PC should be the Vodafone Smart Tab 4G
good luck

You won't be able to unlock bootloader even if you have unlock code because of FRP. The only option is to use the DC Phoenix which uses some kind of backdoor - belive me, been there done that.
OK but maybe I can try... obtained my Serial via DC Phoenix... now only need the Product Idea when Dialing *#*#1357946#*#*. .... anybody can tell me please? :3

So I think the main problem is now I can't do anything on fastboot because Bootloader is relocked (Also OEM-Unlock isnt activated in [email protected]).... So I think the only thing I can restore my 400€ Phone is to backdoor unlock it.... DC-Phoenix without success. any ideas from the real pros? Would pay 50€ if your method would work to restore my phone :/

Hi everybody,
As you see in the title I am having problems with Fastboot. When I am trying to flash (or boot) my recovery.img/boot.img am getting this Error: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
I have done much research on the internet and tried all of this options (And more):
-Factory resetting phone
-Updating drivers
-Tried on both two Windows 10 computers and one Linux (Kubuntu)
-Different USB ports USB 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1
-Tried with Flashtool
My bootloader is unlocked with the IMEI. And I have installed Drives for the Sony Xperia z5 compact in Fastboot mode(using device manager and google ADB driver)
Exact code I used and got:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (31916 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.882s]

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Trying to install TWRP
Thanks, any advice would be appreciated!
Did you disable driver verification in the advanced start up settings?? If not then go into advanced start up!! Recovery, Advanced Startup, Troubleshoot, Advanced Options and option 7 on restart! I'm sure I had this problem a while back on my My Z2! I'm sure this is your problem judging by the log
Press Thanks if this helps

I got it working!!!
by updating flashtool and then re locking, unlocking, re locking (bootloader) and then factory reseted the device. And then unlocking. I got in to twrp and clicked on reboot system.
The only problem now is that when I start my phone I get the Sony Xperia boot screen and nothing happens

That is a boot loop. Flash in TWRP a new kernel and ROM that are compatible with each other.
(don`t forget to wipe /system and /data)
I tried to flash a rom and Kernel but now i get three errors in TWRP:
-e:find_file: error opening /sys/class/backlight
-e:unknown command [log]
-e:error executing updater binarin in zip

My Huawei Mate 10 got in a bootloop after installing Xposed Framework
It was on Android Oreo 8.0 rooted and bootloader unlocked
Lock state info:
FB LockState: LOCKED
USER LockState: UNLOCKED
Leaving the device to boot normally: HUAWEI logo then reboots.
Vol up+power: eRecovery mode … doesn’t work (wiped data and cache .. tried to download firmware through wifi .. nothing works). ... then tried this method it worked while downloading the firmware .. but after verifying the firmware then installing it when it gets from 0% to 1% it fails and a red exclamation mark appears. :crying:
Vol down + power: fastboot: always get: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) ). even though the bootloader is supposed to be unlocked. :crying:
Vol up and down: download mode .. on USB: stuck at 5% … without USB connection to computer: nothing happens (a red exclamation mark appears).
The device has an SD card slot: I tried placing the UPDATE.APP in dload folder and pressed both volume buttons but nothing appeared .. did I do something incorrectly?
Here are more info:
product-model: ALP-L29
vendorcountry: hw/meafnaf
build-number: System 8.0.0.38(0310)

getvar:rescue_enter_recovery FAILED (remote: FAIL:need all image flashed!)
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

Please help.
thanks in advance
====================
FIXED: Thanks to Bordo_Bereli51 who wrote this post and thanks for Ante0 for recommending DC Pheonix and for taking a lot of his time explaining a lot of things to me privately. contacted both as promised.
How I fixed it (credits to Bordo_Bereli51 for the guide .. I only modified it a bit and added some info from my experience):
1- I purchased a 19 euro -3 days pass for DC Pheonix.
2- Download Firmware Finder and click the "Common Base" tab, then download a FullOTA-MF firmware (all 3 files) which is approved for installation ( I copied the "changelog" link and pasted it in the 6th icon at the top "Firmware Checker" and it returned "Firmware approved for install" I' was not able to repack other non approved firmwares).
3- extract UPDATE.APP from update.zip
4- run DC Phoenix program .. tap the "Standard" button in Update mode .. select "update" and choose the UPDATE.APP you just extracted.
5- let it flash everything successfully then redo step 4 again.
6- Here's the trick before it flashes anything ... as soon as you see "utilizing backdoor" (or something like that) open Task Manager and force close DC Phoenix (it has to be BEFORE flashing anything, otherwise you might get errors like:
"error: exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory"
and AFTER utilizing backdoor (so you can use fastboot commands)
7-Download HWOTA8_Mate10 , place the 3 files you downloaded in step 2 in the "repack" folder, and rename "update_data_full_public.zip" to "update_data_public.zip" and "update_full_*ALP-L29*_hw_*meafnaf*.zip" to "update_all_hw.zip". Then run "repack.bat" and wait for it to finish.
8- run "ota.bat" in "ota" folder.
9- When it flashes the recovery_ramdisk and kernel plug your usb cable out and Reboot to recovery by pressing volume up + power button
10- When the phone is in recovery now ADB works (in case you need to do things manually).
11- When this process also finishes, the command center will tell you to press enter, so it boots to erecovery, which will flash the files.
12- Now your phone is unbricked after the flash.
Do not forget to do factory reset by pressing again at boot: (power + volume up) and selecting (factory reset).
After boot allow (OEM Unlock) under (developer settings) or otherwise the FRP will still be locked but the phone will work.

You need to enable OEM unlock in Settings-developer options. At least frp needs to say unlock else you won't be able to unlock or flash, at least not for free.
But since you can't boot you're pretty much limited to use dc unlocker/dc phoenix

Dc phoenix is what you'll need, Mate 10 is not supported in DC Unlocker. (Though DC Unlocker made DC Phoenix)
You'd just want it to flash stock anyway.
And it's cheaper than FunkyHuawei... FH "only" cost 1 credit to flash, but minimum to buy is 5 credits which is $41.
FH is easier though as you'd only need to setup DNS, but it's up to you
HCU/DC Phoenix pass for 3 days is €19, and then you have unlimited usage.
If you need further help you can find me at the telegram group https://t.me/HuaweiMate
as it's easier to do it live than through messages.
There is a "DC Phoenix repair tutorial" if you google it, use Method 1. Basically you just download the firmware update zip you're on now (and hw data zip) from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ then extract update.app from it and select it in Phoenix, then extract update.app from hw data zip and select it as customization.
Alternatively you can downgrade to factory build using images from DC Phoenix (the build your phone came with) then update from there when you have a booting phone.
Thank you sooo much man. I really appreciate your help.

yeah the bootloop was fixed in beta4 (original comment by dev) which wasn't officially released to the channel when I installed it, so I didn't know about it until I got the bootloop.

I bricked my Huawei Mate 10 too
Please help.. I also bricked my Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29C636...
I installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8_Mate10 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 ROM was from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636E2R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues at all but since Huawei Mate 10's EMUI 9.0 is still in Beta, I decided to switch back to the stable EMUI 8.0.
Here's where the problem started... Since I want to downgrade, I went ahead and downloaded the 3 needed files (update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public) from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636B143 (8.0.0.143). I fired up HWOTA8_Mate10 and started the installation process. The first step was to boot to fast boot and then plug the device, after that, the software asked me to unplug the device and press volume+ and power button but the device won't boot to recovery anymore. The device is now stuck at "Your device is booting now..." I tried rebooting the device but it won't work. Tried to go to eRevovery to wipe cache/factory reset but it will go back to "Your device is booting now..." page. I tried reinstalling the recovery.img via fastboot and tried to boot to recovery mode again but it won't work anymore. I believe my device is now soft bricked . I can still boot to fastboot, I even tried fastboot flash system system.img which was successful but the device still won't boot. Please help how to recover my device. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to fix this issue.
