[Q] HELP Urgent No OS only Recovery

[shivasrage]

thank you shivasrage, so i can't do anything to resuscitate it? nor send it to htc assistance?

If you want I can try to help you.
If you want you can PM me tomorrow and I look if I can do anything for you.
your only problem is that fastboot is not working but I think if you can boot into bootloader ther is a chance
to get it working...
My opinion is that there is an driver issue.

greets

So,
Mr jollywhitefoot If you read carefully you will see that he write in first post:

" I can't mount on otg, recovery says Internal storage 0mb OTG 0mb" so why do you think this will happen.???"
Yes because the partitions are messed up and if you not format them, you will never ever get them to work.
All others that have resurrected their phones here have formatted partitions before or flashed a firmawre where it will be done also.
So if I recommend to try formatting partitions there is a reason for....nothing to warn of for you in this case!!!
And if you recommend this guy to setup a linux distribution from a live cd then advise him also to setup adb + fastboot in linux correctly.

Why don't you lose the attitude? If fastboot isn't working, then i don't think it matters what the partitions look like. Step A is to get the computer to recognize the phone. Step B is to get the phone to boot.

I wouldn't advise someone to reformat their partitions blindly, but that's just me. You probably know a lot more than i do.

i have just tried this, ubuntu don know the command fastboot or adb

So can you boot into Ubuntu using the livecd method?

I've never used it before about an hour ago, but i got adb to work pretty quickly.

You need to downlaod and install android-tools-fastboot from Ubuntu. Once installed, "fastboot devices" should work.

ok. I'm back in Ubuntu.

These instructions (http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/insta...oid-tools.html) work, but before you follow them you have to change a setting in Ubuntu.

Click on the setting icon in the upper right, then select system settings.
In the System section, select Software & Updates
Place a Check in the box next to Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)
Then Close system settings

Then, open terminal (click the "search your computer and online sources" icon in the top left and type "terminal")

Then paste the three commands from the above link one at a time into terminal
>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
>sudo apt-get update
>sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

You may be prompted to press Y to install.

Once the install is complete, fastboot should work. But unlike Windows, it looks like you need to use the word sudo in front of all fastboot commands.

so...
fastboot devices
becomes
sudo fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery twrp2.7.1.1
becomes
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp2.7.1.1

etc.

I hope this helps.

i've tried but in phone screen the word fastboot don't change in fastboot usb, my fear is that the pin of phone is broken

 

[jollywhitefoot]

Have you verified that another usb device will work on that computer?

When you're in fastboot and you plug your phone into a charger, does it change to Fastboot AC?

 

[Acticus]

pen drive and external hdd work on that usb port, andyes, fastboot screen change in fastboot AC

That could still be a driver/usb port issue. It won't actually say "Fastboot USB" until the fastboot driver is working.

Is there another computer that you can try to use? I'm not saying anything is necessarily wrong with your computer, but the Android USB drivers seem to be very fickle and trying to install the drivers and fastboot on another computer could help troubleshoot.
