Step 11 - Problem

11. Enter the following in the command prompt:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Code:

12. Once that completes navigate to recovery on your phone and press power to select it.

13. Once CWM recovery boots on your phone use the volume up and down to pick "Mounts and storage" press the trackball to select it.

14. Select "Mount usb storage".

​

Thanks again for your steps. They are great. I am stuck in step 12. I got it to fastboot flash recovery recovery img and I get the following

C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Yet, afterwards, when I click recovery it goes back into the loop. Following your steps the device is Unlocked, but with S-ON.

A bit of background in the device. I was using it to test apps. Verizon pushed the update and it looped the device. Since it wasnt a registered phone but Wifi only device, Verizon says they cant help, HTC asked me to send it in, but that I would have to pay repairs. I am trying to fix it myself. I also tried - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1843883 as a PB31IMG.zip.

Not sure what to do now if I cant boot CWM. Any ideas?

Thanks!

(((Factory Reset is also not working. I can only get to the Fastboot and Simlock menu)))

I gave in and installed HTC Sync. That helped me finally get the boot unlocker past the USB connection error. It started the unlock process then lost connection. It looks like the phone connects to the computer but it doesn't stay connected. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You say you tried the PB31IMG.zip of 4.08.605.15, what were the results?

Try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not sure, mabey your usb port on the pc, mabey the port on the phone, or mabey something corrupt on the phone. Try doing an ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip and then see if usb works again.

If I were to screw up how bad would the brick be if any
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Well there is no kind of bricked. Your either bricked or not. If truly bricked, you cant boot, access recovery, or hboot. Essentially leaving your phone a "brick". As long as you can access hboot, there is usually always a fix.

Help?

Working through step 5 on htcdev.com I'm getting the following error:

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: 122.

Error Reason: Email cannot be sent.

Anyone had this issue or now how to bypass? Stuck with S-ON, H-Boot 1.02.0000, Radio 2.15.10.07.07 want to get back to stock to gain root and S-OFF

Thanks it was but I went through the process again. I'm thinking it's maybe an internal e-mail problem with the htcdev.com website. I'll try back again later this week.

Hmmm..... You were in fast boot right :3
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
It says it couldn't send the email with the unlock to you. Make sure you use a valid email address and that it is spelled and formated correctly. If everything is correct with your email, then they may be having trouble with their system right now.
[Droid Incredible General] blahb:
Went through Fastboot. Thinking it's just an internal server error, hopefully they'll clear it up soon. I'll update next time I get a chance to work on this again. Thanks for the help.

E-mail is definitely good, just created the account tonight and received the activation e-mail with no problem. Site is running super slow right now also.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
It is always slow it took me 3 tries to get to the actual unlocking part I think they bought crap servers so people would get angry and not unlock :3

Finally got it...

After about 6 tries this morning was finally able to get the e-mail with the Unlock_code.bin file. The website was ridiculously slow constantly loosing my session token and starting me over. Appears their site just has a mix of crappy hosting/servers making for a frustrating user experience. Thanks for the help

I've already shared this thread with numerous Android newbies looking for a fool-proof guide and they've also had great success. I'm glad to announce my HTC Incredible ADR6300 is fully rooted with S-OFF, running CM9 ICS flawlessly. I can't wait for the stable release! Thanks again cmlusco, you've managed to make me a die hard Android user. I've put away my Iphone hacking days and moved to the OS that will eventually rule the world. ;) I figure I'll stick around the XDA Dev board more often. Glad to help if I can. Thanks again! :D
[Droid Incredible General] 123421342:
If anyone is still on the 0.92 hboot unrevoked3 works all in one step. No need for unlock or upgrade. Is there a reason to upgrade to 1.02 by the way?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Unrevoked3 works based on your radio version at the time you use it, it has nothing to do with your hboot version. Usually if your not rooted you take ota's which have coresponding radio and hboot versions.

Unrevoked only supports the HTC Droid Incredible, running radio baseband versions:

1.00.03.04.06

2.05.00.06.11

2.07.00.07.16

2.15.00.07.28

2.15.00.09.01

The only reason to upgrade it is to allow unlocking your bootloader, which allows extended fastboot commands . Commands like flashing recoveries, misc images and boot images thru fastboot instead of thru an hboot flashable. This could come in handy in a jam, or if your a dev testing your work. I am rooted, s-off on the 1.07 hboot that is still locked, that way if i ever need the extended commands i can unlock and use them.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
The program itself worked for me on the latest ota then I upgraded my hboot to 1.02 unlocked then did the soff a few weeks later

[Droid Incredible General] rocksteady:
I can't get any recoveries to work properly, they won't factory reset or clear storage no other recoveries will install either. I have tried everything. I would think if it were bricked it wouldn't boot at all. I can get it to do the 5 vibes of death, but that's it.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
So your s-off, are you also bootloader unlocked? If your s-off and unlocked, are you flashing the recovery thru hboot or fastboot? Have you tried the 5 vibes fix here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33?
[Droid Incredible General] rocksteady:
Yes I tried the 5 vibe and I am boot loader unlocked. I have tried every single guide I could find. Nothing works. No installed recovery installs, it acts like it in installs, but still a stock recovery with none of the options working.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Try flashing a recovery again with fastboot, but this time erase recovery first.

fastboot erase recovery

then

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If that dosent work try reflashing the stock recovery and then the custom recovery.

Dec 21 2011, 23:37:16

I tried doing the HTCDev unlock, it claims to be successful, but then the phone just reboots / bootloops. Have to take the battery out for ~5 minutes before the phone will boot again normally. I can restart into HBOOT, however in order to boot back into the OS, once again, have to remove the battery for >5 minutes.

I tried installing the PB31IMG from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948823 - however that didn't take either. It looks like it installs properly but then reboots and everything is still the same - no recovery etc. As far as I can tell, the MicroSD is formatted to FAT32 (I can only read it through the phone - don't have a separate card reader).

Have no idea what to do here. The phone bootloops randomly when my dad is using it, and I'd just like to get it into a state where he can use the phone reliably. HTC Dev unlock doesn't work, adb doesn't work, nothing seems to work.

PS I have installed HTC SYnc / drivers and ADB Drivers successfully. I tried running HTCDev unlock in fastboot, and it claims to have run successfully and reboots after only 1 minute or so, then continuously bootloops again.

Any clues as to what I can do here?
[Droid Incredible General] rocksteady:
Change hboot to .92 first. Then re-unlock it with the dev command. Then make sure you are using the correct radio, froyo, gingerbread and ice cream all need to have the correct radio. If that does't work, shoot me a message. After it's unlocked use a froyo downgrade with ruu or from the memory card.
[Droid Incredible General] dirkdigles:
Can I downgrade from 1.02 HBOOT to 0.92? This guide would seem to imply I cannot. I assume that the RUU installs a new radio / os version / etc., however the RUU that I tried previously (in my post you replied to) didn't take for whatever reason.
[Droid Incredible General] rocksteady:
Use the dev comman to unlock the bootloader from adb fastboot mode. Then download the .92 hboot, link is here somewhere, then try to install cwm recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] dirkdigles:
Ok managed to get HBOOT unlocked via HTCDev. Tried to install recovery per the guide, it appeared to install, but I can't boot into recovery - the phone just bootloops. Also, now when I'm booting into the OS, it bootloops after about 10 seconds into the lock screen... @#$%@#

Gonna see if I can somehow flash this .92 hboot...

EDIT: It failed the 0.92 hboot flash:

C:\miniadb_inc>fastboot flash zip PB31IMG-hboot-0.92.0000.zip

[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
No offense to anyone, but how is going to .92 going to help? Not to mention you cant downgrade hboots unless your s-off, and the .92 hboot is not unlockable.

You need to get a working recovery on there, or do an ruu.

For recovery " fastboot erase recovery " then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ". Enter these one at a time using fastboot.

If that dosent work, do an ruu. Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, place it on your sdcard in no folders. Boot to hboot and wait a few secs, it should find the file amd prompt you to presd vol up to install. When done vol up to restart. Hopefully it will boot normally.

From there you can unlock the bootloader again by fastboot flashing the bin file they sent you the last time you unlocked. Then fastboot flash recovery and go from there.
[Droid Incredible General] dirkdigles:
Tried the RUU in your post. It loads in HBOOT and briefly gives the error "Wrong Zipped Image" and goes back to the HBOOT menu.

I reformatted the SD as FAT32 just to double check... also made sure to do an md5 check of the file. Still getting the "Wrong Zipped Image!" Note. I'm starting to think this phone has no hope.

... and now somehow recovery works. WTH. Ok continuing with guide...

Installed superuser. Bootlooping again. Surprise. Can't get back into recovery from HBOOT either.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
That is weird. Have you tried a different recovery, like twrp or amon ra? I would do a factory reset from hboot, and then try to flash one of those recoveries instead of cwm.
[Droid Incredible General] tronik:
Thanks for the tips on this version of hboot.
[Droid Incredible General] chris_m128:
all of this still works perfectly on 1.07! except you need the newer version of the unrevoked-forever zip. Or you'll get the error code 6 when flashing in clockwork recovery
[Droid Incredible General] Linch89:
im on 1.07 and i flashed the ruu, but the bootloader was bypassed any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
What do you mean bypassed? It flashed everything else but not the bootloader?
[Droid Incredible General] Linch89:
Correct it won't downgrade I'm back on froyo but hboot is the same as before. Everything else worked perfectly this is an extremely helpful guide
[Droid Incredible General] thejase:
This is a great point! Basically load it to memory to play with, without making a full write of the recovery partition.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You dont really need to downgrade hboot just the radio. You need to be on the froyo radio to get s-off using the unrevoked s-off patch. Once s-off you can downgrade the bootloader if desired by flashing a PB31IMG.
[Droid Incredible General] flipinfin:
You cant just flash a zip. You have to give fastboot specific command. Like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash boot boot.img. Though i looked at the file your trying to flash you have to rename that file to pb31img then drag and drop to root of sdcard so bootloader can flash it.
[Droid Incredible General] flipinfin:
I had a simular issue. Try this.

step 1 download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Image...WWE_4.08.605.15-4.08.605.2_release_264040.zip

step 2 boot into recovery and mount usb and drag and drop the file then rename to update unmount.

step 3 apply update from sdcard and choose the file update.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
That file is for updating from 4.08.605.2 to 4.08.605.15, it is not an ruu, and will not work unless your stock.

If your s-off now all you need to do is flash cwm recovery, do a full wipe, and then flash a rom of your choosing. There is no need to downgrade hboot, or do anything else if your s-off.

If your having trouble with hboot finding PB31IMG files, reformat your sdcard fat32 and try again. Even if its already fat32, format it again.
[Droid Incredible General] flipinfin:
I thought that was a update because after i recovered my phone it said you have updated your phone to 4.08. etc with that file complete after bootup. MIght be the wrong file. i appologize. Though i semi bricked the phone. Alls i did was take the stock pbm31img from here and extracted the file and flashed recovery, boot and system through fastboot. then flashed that file through original recovery. I basically used my phone as a ginue pig

Have you tried redownloading the su file, it may have gotten corrupted during download or transfer to the phone. http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.1.1.zip and here is the md5 so you can make sure its not corrupt. http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.1.1.zip.md5

Hey all,

So I've been using my transformer happily for months. A while back, I rooted it with Razorclaw and flash CWM via the recovery flash app (don't remember the exact name of it). Since then, I've been running Revolver 3.11.1 without any problems. Today, I decided to try something new, so as always, to be safe, I backed up my TF101 with CWM, wiped with the ARHD Lite Wipe .zip file, and then flashed the spark ICS port. I wasn't happy to use that as my daily driver, so I decided to Restore. I installed the Transformer boot to recovery app, booted into CWM, restored my back up, but then disaster struck.

Once the restore was complete (I flashed the ARHD lite wipe before restoring), and I hit reboot, I got to the first ASUS logo screen, then the screen went blank. The screen is still on, but there's nothing. I can still boot into CWM by holding power and vol. down, and then hitting power down (i think) again to get into recovery.

I've tried restoring a couple different backups that I have on my external SD, but nothing is working.

Can anyone please help me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
It's your kernel, CWM doesn't restore the kernel.

Go back into CWM and restore your nandroid backup

Once the backup is complete (don't do any wipe after the backup is complete) , flash the ROM that you were using, in this case Revolver 3.11.1

Reboot. That should work.
