[Q] [HELP]HTC Boots straight into Fastboot

pledgyno · Jul 15, 2014

I have read countless threads, tried over a dozen roms, Unlocked and re-locked the bootloader countless times. Flashed recoveries to it more than enough number of times but I can get my phone to work.

My phone boots straight into hboot and there is no OS installed on it, thanks to my meddling with it a while back.
here are all the information I can get off the phone.

couple of things

your bootloader has to be unlocked to flash the recovery and rom
then in recovery install the Guru reset, it's a rom not a fastboot firmware

also edit your post to remove the serial and IMEI

Thanks for your response and I have done the necessary edits to my post.

I unlocked bootloader before flashing both recovery and rom

you just need the part about pushing, don't download any of the files, they are not for your phone

where in that link does it say to type adb usb ? the command with the rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, and your phone plugged in and on the main screen of recovery you type adb push (rom_name).zip /sdcard/

I did exactly what you said and this is what i got

C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb push firmware.zip /sdcard/
error: device not found

you need to update your drivers and/r update your adb and fastboot, you can find a link to adb and fastboot on the page I linked before, and you can get your drivers by downloading HTC sync manager and then install, once installed, remove htc sync just leaving the drivers.

Am downloading the HTC sync manager, when done i will try once more

I got it to work..

I started all over again
Unlocked the bootloader
installed twrp
installed this adb driver http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
I proceeded with adb sideload of Bad Boyz Sprint ONE ROM 4.4.2 Sense 6 v1.0

And everything was perfect

I owe a lot of thanks clsA, Aldo101t and Seanie280672

I have the same issue

I cant seem to install my rom zip, done adb push, and adb sideload. Everytime I try and install the rom the phone reboots and file is missing from sdcard.
