Hi HTC Guru's
i've get a HTC Desire X from a friend, for repair service. his phone starts only in fastboot. no chance to start android.
with fastboot i have unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.
but i cant install any recovery to install stock or custom rom. all what i do fails! i'm stuck at this problem
what can i do now? i cant disable or enable usb debugging, because there's no rom installed.
thanks a lot ...
I assume the startupscreen states S-ON and UNLOCKED.
Did you connect your phone to PC and are you flashing the recovery with the fastboot command (DOS command)? Are you sure the phone is recognized in Windows (if you are using Windows..)?

yes, i have tried installing TWRP via fastbooth. but nothing happens. the phone is recognized in windows. if i plugin the phone, in display i get "Fastboot USB". unlocking the bootloader was able, too.
What happens when you execute 'fastboot devices'? Nothing or a number?
If nothing: which OS do you have? If Windows 8 > try another computer with a lower version.
I'm on way to work. Can't look now. I mean, in display stands '0123456789 device' or something like that.
It's hboot from ICS. And I have the right version of twrp.
And of course I use Windows 8.i don't have windows 7 already.
Just to be sure, maybe I misunderstand your info: fastboot (from Google's Android SDK) is a DOS command, executed from a DOS box (phone connected USB). Are you executing the command that way?
If so, probably for sure that Windows 8 recognizing your phone is your problem if nothings happens. No laptop? Copy the fastboot.exe and your recovery-file and try to flash it on W7 or XP :silly: ("fastboot flash recovery yourtwrp-filename")
Yes, I do it with cmd at admin rights under win 8. I know the usage of cmd. I have successfully customized my HTC sensation and note 4 as well.
Can I run win7 in live mode or in a virtual machine?
So, if there is no respons on 'fastboot devices' it is probably a driverproblem. If that can be solved by a virtual W7? I don't know, don't think so. Anybody else?
"As you all may now, Microsoft pushed the new driver stack in Windows 8.1 so ALL (not only USB 3.0) devices must provide a BOS descriptor. Sony ADB and Fastboot doesn't, so Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43. This also may help if you have a USB drive or mouse and it stopped working after you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1."
There is a trick to bypass this by replacing the USB-drivers with the USB.zip files (this link). I had a bit of trouble afterwards
Installing PDAnet seemed to work for me (tried most drivers to no avail on win8/ 8.1)
Is this the same on all USB ports? tried on a different machine yet?
Never tried on VM but I don't think it would work as it still uses the same resources (USB ports, etc.)
Fastboot runs. I have no driver issues. But I get some errors if I try to install twrp or roms. Without twrp, I can't install a rom. That's my problem. Not the drivers. But I understand, if Windows 8 works different in command line as Windows 7 does.
It can be possible.
I try pdanet driver, when I went home from work in round about 8 hours... So on, thanks for you help
Aha, an error. That was not clear to me - it differs from 'nothing happens'.
Did you select the right TWRP? HBoot 1.25=JB or HBoot 1.24=ICS. Look at this page
Oh sorry. I have told you wrong information. Hboot is 1.25. But I have the twrp for jelly bean tried to install. But an error occurred.
I'll take a look at your link later at night. Thanks.
here are the error i get in cmd console:
Code:
c:\Users\my_name\Desktop\htcbootloader>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7868 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.268s]

i still have searched google and this forum for this error, but without a solution.
here is a screenshot from bootloader menu.

Right mouse click on 'image update error', contextual search, gives me a lot of extra info. Could it be that you picked a wrong version? Is it called 'twrp-2.8.5.0-protou.img'?
Or else: try to install an old TWRP from this page.
I have tried 271 for jb hboot,which should be the right version.. But I can try the ones in your link...

Still trying to fix this I now have no recovery and just get the two icons wipe data and fast boot or it just keeps trying to load a Rom that isn't there so it sticks on the main logo screen if I could get it to show in windows that would be great but now I have no recovery I'm not sure how to even get it to install anything once I do !

As long as you have the fastboot logo, there should be hope. First, you will need to do whatever you can to get your computer to recognize fastboot mode. In order to do this, click on the fastboot icon on your prime and then plug your usb into your pc. What does windows say? Is the device showing in the windows device manager?

It shows up but then says failed to install driver will try it on different pc,s see if it works thanks for the replies seems fairly easy
Ive found on my device that it sometimes requests two different drivers. One for adb/fastboot, and one for mtp. I just cancel the one for mtp as they are not in the naked driver set, and windows then detects another different device.

Okay, you're half way home! The reason why nothing shows in adb is because fastboot and adb are two completely different interfaces. When in fastboot, your device will be expecting the fastboot command only.
Now what you will have to do is find a recovery that is in the blob format. Cwm would probably be okay. Twrp would be good, however the new version requires the nvflash version of the bootloader.
Once you find the blob of the recovery you want, place this in the same folder as the file fastboot.exe
It should be in the same place as adb. If not, place the blob somewhere easy to remember.
Then in a command prompt, type
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery blobfilename
If you placed the blob in the same place as fastboot, then the above will be the blob filename, or better would be to include the path as well.

Hi,
the last days, I read a lot about flashing custom ROMs and wanted to do so with my HTC Legend. I'm not really new to flashing ROMs in general.I already flashed several other devices, but I'm stuck with unlocking the bootloader. My problem is, that the CMD is either reacting with "CommandError" or "waiting for device". I'm not able to get the token for unlocking the bootloader. Another problem is, that the SDK Manager won't start for me. So I just grabbed the 3 files out of the filesystem and tried it with them. Using HTCs recommended fastboot.exe doesn't change anything. I hope you can help me with a few details:
1. Do I have to install something else than HTC Sync? (I think, it already installed the driver, too)
2. Which connection mode should i choose, when connecting the legend? (recharging/hdd/htc sync/tethering)
3. Which version of the SDK should I use? Is it possible, that someone just gives me a zip with those 3 files?
I'm looking forward to your answers!
Regards
OdlG
SOLUTION:
The solution was a too old version. My phone had version 3.15.405.3.
First I updated to version 3.15.405.6 (found via google here at xda-dev).
Then I patched the new ROM I downloaded from htc-dev (step 0 at unlocking; must connect phone for that hint!) 3.30.0.0.
Then I could receive the token via CMD at a Windows 7 PC (Win8 PC still said "waiting for device", obviously because the driver wasn't installed correctly so the phone wasn't recognised in fastboot mode).
I followed the last steps rom htc-dev and now unlocked the bootloader

You should use charging mode and you have to activate usb debugging in settings
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the reply!
I already enbled USB Debugging, and now tried it in charging mode. I created a BAT-File with the following command:
cd C:\Android\
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
But it still says "waiting for device" Any suggestions?
Did you follow these instructions? especcially selecting "fastboot"?
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions
if yes and it still didn't work i've no idea at the moment
I tried it once more:
I connected the phone, "fastboot usb" is written there. the cmd still writes "waiting for device". after a few seconds, the pc reports, that the usb device could not be recognised. then there is written "fastboot" instead of "fastboot usb", though the cable is still connected.
a few hours ago i also got a guide at htc dev, that i should install da RUU (what does it mean btw?). i downloaded the german vodafone version and tried to install it. I will try that once more, hopefully the unlock will be successful afterwards!
thanks for your advice!
EDIT:I'm using the following software btw.
Android SDK (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219)
Java RE 7 Update 17
HTC Sync (3.3.X or something like that)
The RUU installer is starting the setup without problems. It's rebooting the phone o install version 3.30 (hboot1.02). But when the Phone starts in the bootloader mode and displays "RUU", the PC is unable to detect the USB device and the setup fails caused by missing usb connection
Can I somehow influence the detection of the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode?
Normally it should be enough to install the HTC USB Drivers...
You can grab the newest for example from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279
The second what you need is an actual adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll & AdbWinUsbApi.dll... grab it for example from here: http://d-h.st/RvD (Thanx to torxx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3828647))
After u've installed the drivers and extracted the adb file do the folowing
Turn off your phone completly
Push Vol down & Power ...device will start
Navigate with vol+- to fastboot press power
connect with usb-cable (possible that windows will install drivers...wait till its complete)
now "fastboot usb" should be read in the display of your phone
open a shell (cmd)
navigate to your fastboot.exe
type: "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
it seems, that my htc firmware is far too old (3.15.405.3). i installed all the stuff on my win7 laptop instead of win8 desktop pc and could install the RUU... at least untill the notification, that i needed to update the firmware first, and update hboot1.02 (3.30.0.0) afterwards. the big update is also 150MB, the small one only 5MB. i'll give it a try and report back here, if i am able to manage all the stuff^^
btw autoupdating via options doesn't work ("phone is up to date"). do i have to sign in via google to get a better result?
I managed to unlock the bootloader!

Already flashed CM10.1 It's not as smooth as on my Ainol Aurora 2 Tablet, but the Legend hasn't got the power by far. But if you have a look at the specs, it is amazing, how good it runs on the legend
Thanks for all the help! That was definately worth it^^ I only have minor problems with my SIM-card up to now.
Hi!
I'm an unhappy owner of HTC Legend with Android 2.2 and HBoot 1.01.0000. I tried to root and S-OFF my device, but I can't do that. I spent a lot of time to find a solution of my problem.
How to root and S-OFF HTC Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000?
My English is not very good, but I understand everything I see.
Greetings.
1st you can't s-off hboot 1.01
Just goto htcdev website, register, and carefully follow ALL directions to unlock your bootloader for HTC legend, this is all you really need.
You will also need to read up about how to flash custom recovery and flash custom Rom.

I also try to root my Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000 so i thought it would be better to unite instead of starting a new thread.
I am facing the problem that the device is not recognized when i am in the bootloader (power button + volume down).
When the Android it boot up normally the devices is recognized.
Code:
adb devices
The same problem occur when i try to update HBoot to 1.02.
I tried this on my Windows 8 x64 PC, i did read more people have problems with Windows 8. Te be sure it isn't Windows 8 i did download a live cd of ubuntu 12.04lts and installed the ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
After this i connect my Legend with android loaded. And the phone is recognized.
Code:
adb devices
When i go to the bootloader the phone is not recognized.
Anyone who could help me out?
Have you got debugging turned on on your phone? Have you got your drivers correctly installed? (check via device manager on windows 8 p.s, don't ask where or how cause I will never use windows 8!)
You may need android v1 drivers too, I dont know...
At the end of the day I reckon it's all down to win 8 issue.
What about the cable your using, it's not stuffed is it?

I am using a USB 2.0 port. And i HTC Sync 3.3.53
HTC BMP USB Driver 1.0.5375 (64-Bit)
HTC Driver Installer 4.1.0.001
If i have HTC Sync installed, the device is showing up in the device manager: Android USB Devices > My HTC
When i do not have HTC Sync installed, i see it also appear under device manager: ADB Bootloader > HTC Bootloader
Both give the same error: (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
When i update the driver (Android 1.0) i get the message: The best driver is already installed.
USB debugging is enabled.
Edit:
I think i found the problem, i used the USB 2.0 port from the front of the case, which also has USB 3.0.
Now i tried a 2.0 port directly on my motherboard and i see it coming up without a problem. I however did try that before without succes, i already did read about USB 3.0 problem.
It looks like i first need to update HBoot before i am able to get this token:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.008s
When i download a HBOOT i get the message i first need to upgrade to at least: 3.15.405.3 but i am running 3.15.405.7
Now i am on my Macbook Pro.
Downloaded the Google Android SDK for mac, and copied it to my home folder.
I still get the damn error:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
When i change to bootloader and do:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
nothing is showing up.
And when i boot up the HTC legend normally. And attach the USB cable (charge only)
And do:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
HT06NNX00571 device
So this is exactly the same as what happend on my Windows 8 PC.
If I remember correctly you can't use adb from bootloader anyway, only fastboot.
I suggest using blay0s method by extracting the Rom.zip from the exe this is done by running the ruu, letting it extract its temp files, then do a harddrive search for Rom.zip you have to include hidden and system folders in the search it will be in a temp folder some where.
Copy the Rom.zip to another folder them rename it to LEGEIMG.ZIP I think it is, copy it to the root of the sdcard from your phone then turn on phone with vol down and power, the bootloader should find it and ask to install.

Still no luck. I found the howto of blay0s.
I have tried this versions:

PB7610000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R2.exe
PB7611000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R.exe
It does not ask me to upgrade the bootloader Or as explained in post 74 it will upgrade automatically and ask to reboot.
Edit:
Finally it did ask me. Problem is the SD card needed to be FAT32 instead of FAT.

You can't access TWRP because you over-wrote it with the factory RUU firmware image, it isn't there anymore...
Download TWRP image from TWRP official site at https://dl.twrp.me/vigor/ or Flyhalf's build at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
Either one is good... then start fastboot, connect usb and flash recovery with the command:
fastboot flash recovery <path/filename of TWRP IMG file>
give it a minute or so, reboot into Hboot and start TWRP.
im having a similar issue but my computer always says waiting for device in command prompt. I have all the drivers installed and the phone says "usb fastboot" or "fastboot usb" (cant recall what order those 2 words are in LoL)

You probably have a driver issue then... Install HTC Sync, connect the phone, then disconnect it, remove HTC Sync and it should work. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port.
Honestly, I switched to Linux a long time ago... I don't have driver issues. If you were running Linux, even a live or USB key distro, you would access it easily.

maybe this is a problem here ?
It cant be listed in ADB if the android isnt running.
Blue LED means fastboot mode. So to check if the device is in that mode you do "fastboot devices".
Once the LED is blue you can unlock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem unlock 0x<insert your unlock code>".

I guess you are using windows. This is issue on windows when you don't install adb drivers. There should be tutorial on Sony site how to install them.

Yes, I am using Windows 10, but let me clarify my understanding first.
From what you said, I need to manually install the ADB driver by Device Manager > Portable Devices > Xperia 10 Plus > Browse my com... And that driver, I should get it from Sony site, but I only see Xperia 1, 5 and 8, not 10 nor 10 Plus.
However, I could see my phone by using command adb devices through minimal ADB and Fastboot. Does this imply that the driver is installed already?

Adb and fastboot are not the same thing so you have to get fastboot driver.
I have no clue where this driver is as I use Linux only which includes the driver by default.

I see. There is a fastboot driver on Sony site, but it was uploaded since 2014. I successfully installed it, but still nothing seems to work. I will try on Ubuntu later. Thanks for your help.

I was using windows 10. From what I can remember, my problem is that I didn't install driver correctly (I'm not sure which one). I am not really sure if this fastboot driver the one I used. I saw my device in Device Manager, but I got waiting on device... just like you. So what I have done was locate my device in Device Manager and install the sony driver over that device. If sony's driver was not the correct one, then it was another driver that I can't remember, but the instruction still the same. Sorry for an unclear message, but I can barely remember anything now.

Go in Windows Device Manager and check the device . If needed install drivers manually
