Is there a way to mount the phone while in Bootloader mode?

I just ran a task29 on my phone and before flashing my new ROM I want to change the splashscreen as its one from Chuckydroid ROM and task29 doesnt delete bootup screen or splash screens. So is there a way to mount while in USB. I know the PC is making some sort of mount since I'm able to flash a new ROM but I cant find where

splash screens flash in exactly the same way as roms and radios, via an nbh file and customruu, and yes you can flash all three from bootloader. no, you won't see anything mounted, you can't access the memory from bootloader.

Can't flash HERCIMG.zip

Im using the fastboot method to flash the original sprint RUU in zip format.
I used:
-fastboot oem rebootRUU
-fastboot flash zip HERCIMG.zip (or HERCIMG, HERCIMG.ZIP, hercimg.zip etc etc)
But i keep getting "Error: cannot load "HERCIMG.zip" or whatever i type.
Stuff i tried:
*Unlocked bootloader to s-off - still wont let me flash and zip files from the bootloader. I'm 100% ive done this before several months ago, and i even used the same HERCIMG file that i left in the /sdcard main directory.
*Delete the old HERCIMG and download a new one from the dev section of the hero forums.
*Manually placed in root of sdcard by mounting the sdcard on my computer.
*Used adb to push the HERCIMG file to the root directory of sdcard
Anyone can tell me whats going on?
Also right now i have CM7, bootloader 1.47 unlocked.
Maybe i have a bad version of fastboot.exe? I copied it from /tools/ folder of android sdk and placed it in /platform-tools/ since it needed adbwinapi.dll which is located in that folder along with adb.exe
Thanks for any help

Ok guys. I have no idea whats up, but eventually i was able to fix by loading the unlocked bootloader and running the RUU.exe from windows. Still wasnt able to flash the HERCIMG.

I had a huge issue with HERCIMG not working for me. I noticed that I had HERCIMG.zip and changed it to HERCIMG.ZIP - make sure it is all caps on your sdcard, how it gets there does not matter, I copied it in windows. Next, you must boot into bootloader - there are many commands, but it has to be a white screen on your phone and text will scroll...at some point, it will ask you what you want to do with the file...This is all done on the phone. You must have s-off too. If you are not using the ENG hboot, I dont think fastboot will work, btw (and the eng hboot is 1.46)

Yup. Flash darchs eng-spl and you should be good to go. Oh and you have to take into account your radio/baseband ver. If its .29 then you have to flash it a certain way or downgrade your radio then flash it then hercimg your current radio again.
Locked & Loaded

Cool thanks for the help. Where can I get the eng-spl so i can flash from bootloader directly?

Well the last time I checked you have to flash it from recovery. If you search the hero dev section for it I'm sure you wil find it. Also I'd highly recommend Flashing it with Ra1.6/1.7 or Cwm2.5 and remember to check your baseband/radio version. If you can't find it let me know and I'll post it after church. But you should read as much as you can about the mod to get a better understanding of the risks and benfits of the mod.
Locked & Loaded

Don't forget that your SDcard has to be formatted to Fat32 so the bootloader can find it.

When I use/have used any HERCIMG.zip, I have never done it through fastboot, I have always done it by using the H-Boot screen. The HERCIMG.zip cannot say "HERCIMG.zip.zip (so don't name the zip file with a .zip in the name- check the details of the file to make sure).
If you are in the bootloader, press the volume button down to get into H-boot from the Fastboot or restart the phone (press volume and start button at the same time).
If you used Regaws to become S-off, then I know the H-boot method will work fine. As far as using fastboot commands, you would need to flash Darch's Eng Spl mod that changes the bootloader to 1.46.2. There is a thread by jasonmaloney that has to do with flashing an RUU from fastboot without being S-Off. This needs to be done from Windows, that's why jason includes fastboot.exe along with the RUU. Is the RUU you are using all images, or are there other files as well (binary types)?
Good Luck

[Q] trying to go back to original rom, but can't find any working method.

I'm looking for a way to get my phone back to a stock state, I don't care if it's unrooted in the process, I just want a fresh OTA capable stock rom. I have a couple PD15 images, and they flash in the boot loader, however, after trying to boot, it just stays stuck at the mytouch startup screen.
I'm looking at the tutorials found here, but none seem to be working. What exactly do I need to do?

Well do u still have a custom recovery or s-off
I have the completly stock rooted ROM 2.3.4 no ota after that
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 4G using xda premium

I'm using the PD15 images from here: https://www.4shared.com/folder/xDsyJF52/_online.html
I used the HTCDev unlock method. I have S-On
My issue is, is i want the official HTC kernel that comes with the latest stock rom. I cant find it to flash anywhere. So I'm trying to just go back to the regular rom, probably selling this phone soon anyway.

Son=T-Mobile
soff= the world
You can sell it for more with soff and rooted anyways the ROM I have has the stock kernel its completely stock just rooted

are yuo trying to flash a gingerbread stock or a froyo stock rom? which PD15IMG.zip files are you using? did you download the stock rom yourself and then rename it to PD15IMG.zip? are you sure your using the correct radio version .img as well? if all that is correct and youre still having trouble then you could try flashing the stock rom via fastboot mode
rename the rom to StockRom.zip (spelled exactly) then connect your phone in fastboot mode, then in the terminal enter fastboot oem rebootRUU it should then reboot into a black screen with a silver htc logo on it
make sure your StockRom.zip is in the same directory as your fastboot executable and run fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip
if it doesnt finish flashing or tells you to repeat the flash just re enter the command and it will work. then fastboot reboot.

I was doing all of the above, except checking the radio version and the fastboot oem rebootRUU! That could be it, thanks for that. I'll check it out and report back when I get some time.

I'm interested in your kernel that you are using actually, shoot me a PM or something if you feel like providing me links to download

So i tried the rebootRUU method, and still nothing (it says it works fine but will just hang at the white mytouch screen). I'm on HBOOT 0.89.0007 and RADIO 26.13.04.19_M
I'm trying to flash both the 2.3.4 before and the latest updated 2.3.4 stock rom.
Wish i could figure this out! Any ideas?

try to flash the stock froyo rom first.
http://d-h.st/ytv59wps2wzc heres a link to the PD15IMG.zip make sure the spelling is exactly like that all upper case except for the file extention .zip. and make sure its on the root of your sd card when you reboot into bootloader. the file shoild be about 312megs in size.

Tried, still stuck at the splash screen. I used HTCDev unlock originally with this phone, does that mean I also have to manually flash the boot.img from these zip's as well?
I'm obviously missing some step.

I stuck on Boot Logo

I was trying to flash modified recovery image using magisk after that my phone is dead almost.
My phone don't boot in to android. I can't charge my phone because I get message on the beginning
my system is moddifyed my phone shut down automatically after 5 seconds, also i can't unlock bootloader via fastboot i get information "unlock operation is not allowed" .
I have Leeco 650x with mtk helio x27.
I only flashed modified recovery in magisk after that I disabled usb debug and oem unclock. after restart my phone I can't unlock my bootloader and I can't continue bootup to android.All I need to do is restore somehow original recovery.
But how to do that without unlocked bootloader in my situation?
I try to flash new Rome using flash tool but I have error 0xC0030003
Is here any powerful person to solve the problem.

It looks like you flashed firmware for wrong device. Settings say x650 instead of x720 (I am assuming you have x720). I think your best bet is probably the QFIL restore.

If you do not have an x720, please disregard this post.

I have 650x with mtk processor 100 procent. I only flashed modified recovery in magisk after that I disabled usb debug and oem unclock. after restart my phone I can't unlock my bootloader and I can't continue bootup to android.All I need to do is restore somehow original recovery.

You need to find the LETV X650 Scatter file. I do not know those phones very well. A X600 file may work, you will need to do a lot of research before attempting or you can damage your partitions.
Here is a link for the firmware. https://fapgem.com/video/4tnZoa0H9Q...-firmware-eui-5925s-install-via-fastboot.html
There is a chance that if you can get your PC to see the phone that you may be able to flash the stock firmware. It will not hurt to try it. Again , read extensively before doing anything.
There is a website called Android brick. They have an article on unbricking your phone but I could not access the link. Just Google, or use DuckDuck Go and search Letv X650 Scatter file unbrick.
I just now found this, which may be your solution: https://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-to-flash-unbrick-your-mediatek.html

HowTo "Unbrick" U-Ultra

Hi all,
this may be helpful for all that have similar problems as I had.
After experiencing with custom ROMs, I wasn't able to boot into System and also not into Recovery anymore (ended in a bootloop).
Because I tried to flash back to a Stock ROM via RUU I also relocked my bootloader and unlocking wasn't possible anymore because the unlock option was not active and not accessible without a system.
Unfortunately there's only the Nougat RUU available and I previously had Oreo installed.
As I also have S-ON, it's not possible to flash back to the Nougat RUU.
I was only able to access the phone in bootloader mode and with fastboot.
Prerequisites:
You should be able to access your phone via fastboot, so the correct USB drivers should be installed on your PC
How did I solve this:
I downloaded the following RUU.exe from US HTC website - I'm not able to post links, but you can find it via Google: HTC U Ultra Firmware Update
Start it and go to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp" (on Windows 10), there you can find a temporary folder of the RUU.exe, for example {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
You can find some files like adb.exe, htc_fastboot.exe, rom.zip, ...
Copy the folder to any location you want and close the RUU application
I then downloaded the Oreo OTA zip for my phone from androidfilehost (Thank you minhnewpro ) - see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-ultra/development/ruu-collection-htc-ultra-nougat-t3830999
Unzip the OTA and copy the firmware.zip to the previously copied folder from RUU (here: {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B})
Start the phone into Bootloader or Download Mode and connect it to the PC
Open the commandline on the PC and cd to the copied folder from RUU
Enter the following Commands:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU​htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip​htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip​
htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip needs to be done twice, in the first run I got the following error: FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately )
The second time it went through without any error.
Now my phone works again and has the Oreo Stock ROM installed!
I hope this method also works for other phones and not just mine
Greetings

Thank you.
This method works with my HTC U Ultra dual sim.
Thank you very much.

Hello, I tried this method, but it can't flash the firmware, "FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)" . Bootloader is the only way I can enter, Download mode or Recovery mode doesn't work("Can't enter download mode, use volume + or - to go back"). Any other methods available?
