hboot recovery issue

MartyPavelka · Apr 21, 2014

Hey there guys, I've just unlocked Bootloader as described on the htcdev./ site,
Unfortunately, now when I enter HBOOT, no only do I recieve a "failed to open usb master mode" and "pj46img.zip" fail message, but when I click "Recovery", my phone switches back to fastboot. I need to backup my system to downgrade and root afterwards.. anyways
Anyone experienced this before or has any idea what to do?

The Model is: HTC Endeavor , Android ver. 4.2.2, Sense 5...
and...
What the status bar tells me :

*** UNLOCKED ***
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.72.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-5.1204.167.31
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode : disabled
HW secure boot: enabled
MODEM PATH : OFF

Error message is normal because you have the usb connected. Without cable you won't get the message.

Second when you are in the bootloader do the command :

Fastboot erase cache

And you need to flash or boot a custom recovery !

Fastboot boot recovery.img

Or

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The custom recovery has to be named "recovery.img" and be placed in the fastboot folder on the pc !

And what do you want to downgrade ?

Wow, thanks for such a quick answer.. sorry for not coming and thanking sooner...
Anyways.. I erased the Cache as recommended.

The reason why downgrade was because somewhere I read there are problems with rooting my phone on 4.2.2 so I thought downgrading to 4.1.1 would be adequate... Anyways recent research pushed me into believing it is not necessary...

Yeah, so anyway I've been looking for a custom recovery to use as you said...
version-main: 4.18.401.2
cidnum: HTC__032
Do I need to find a recovery for exactly my CIDnumber?

Thank you many times! :good:

Stuck... damn it!

Yeah, umm hello there again.
So I used the Cyanogenmod recovery in the end...

Anyways I let myself led by the guide posted by Thömy (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583037)...
Everything went fine, I got the bootloader unlocked (before already), the recovery provided by ClockWorkMod, did a Data wipe, downloaded everything necessary, booted into Recovery... but when I got to flash the CM 11.0.zip (installing from the zip file in recovery) It failed..

So for no reason i decided to simply restart the phone and try whatever will I find then.. I haven't got past the white/green HTC screen though and I'm stuck at it... I can get back to recovery or the Bootloader, but nothing more, nothing less...

Any Idea?.. I'm struggling with it for a few hour now and feel lost

Use the Recovery that Mr Hofs gave you and flash the CM 11 package. Should work. CWM recovery sometimes gives you errors while flashing since you may have to modify the updater-script with-in the package to flash successful.

Nice, felt some progression

Cool :good:
So I used the Recovery from el Maestro and flashed the CM 11 package.
I got to a "Cyanogenmod" booting screen at which I'm stuck...
It updated some files but, that's all and the arrow wheel keeps spinning? any Idea?

btw: I'm really sorry if someone already had this problem,
I swear I spent hours looking for one, but when I found a similar one,
it wasn't really what I was looking for in the end

[EDIT] Also when I try to boot the system with the boot.img file included in cm-11 package, I'm not stuck on the Cyanogenmod screen but all the way back on the HTC logo screen again

Mr Hofs · Apr 23, 2014

Flashed the boot.img from the cm11 zip ?

MartyPavelka · Apr 23, 2014

Flash instead of Boot

Yes, I until now was directly booting "fastboot boot boot.img" with cmd on computer.
Now when I flashed it into the device, I cannot even get to the Cyanogenmod screen, hehe

The flash command should be "fastboot flash boot boot.img" are you sure you are doing it right?

yep

Did it exactly this way

... It now behaves the same as when only booted with the boot.img :/

Mr Hofs · Apr 23, 2014

Did you perform a full wipe within the custom recovery before installing the cm zip ? Seems to me you forgot to wipe something !

Ok try this..

Assuming you already did a full nandroid backup, do the following:

1. Do a FULL wipe on your device.
2. Flash the ROM again
3. Reboot to bootloader
4. Flash the boot.img again
5. Reboot
6.Thank me if it works.

Should work, that's normally the steps I take when flashing ROM's and have never failed me.

Mr Hofs · Apr 23, 2014

If he flashes the boot.img alresdy its a wipe issue. Doesnt matter when you flash it because it's not going to be changed installing a rom or wiping partitions from within the recovery (definitely not on a s-on device)

6: kinda corny to mention that isn't it ! Bit of a desperate call for appreciation......not confident enough you need confirmation

Got past it!

Well, wow... ok... I got past the logo screen and I now get keyboard failure messages... but wow... thanks... A huge rock fell of my chest... Thanks to both of you... I did a full wipe again.. I guess it was a wipe issue afterall -_- what a noobfailure..

aromerblz · Apr 23, 2014

I don't think it "kills to try" like I mentioned at the bottom that's how I usually do mines when am blocked by issues. and NO not desperate for appreciation either.
