Hello,
I just got my Hero this weekend and I was interested in partitioning the SD Card. I have been following a guide and when I boot into recovery(Screen that shows phone with triangle and exclamation point) the computer does not seem to see the Hero anymore.
When I plug the phone in while it is running Android the computer picks it up fine in Device manager. Once I type adb shell reboot recovery it boots into the screen the computer no longer picks it up. I have tried unplugging and replugging the USB cable while in the recovery screen but still get nothing. If I type adb devices before I run the recovery command I am able to get the serial number, once it boots into the recovery screen it no longer shows me the serial number when I type in adb devices. But this is due to it no longer being picked up once in the recovery screen.
I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong here. Can anyone help me get this issue sorted out?
I have tried it on Windows 7 and read that a lot of people had issues with the syncing so I just finished attempting it on an Windows XP machine and still get the same issue.
One more thing, when in the recovery screen the phone does not respond to the power button anymore. It seems almost like it locks up or something. The only way I can get back out of the screen is by taking the battery out and putting it back in. Is this normal?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thank you,
Mizex
You need to root the phone and install the recovery partition first.

Exactly what jonnythan said. If your recovery screen shows the triangle then you haven't installed a modified recovery image yet. Follow any of the guides on this site for rooting.
Oh wow I feel dumb the guide I was following said nothing about the phone needing to be rooted. I attempted to follow a 1 click root and while attempting to do the backup step I get a message saying that it can't complete the command. According to the guide if I get this error then it means I have a patched firmware and need to downgrade to a cupcake firmware.
Anyone know of a good guide for doing the downgrade? Or can perhaps share a bit of knowledge on the error?
since i somehow managed to lose the ability to connect via fastboot..
is there another way for me to install zips?
phone rooted with 1 click..
also open to ideas as to why fast boot only says < waiting for device > now?
no conflicts in dev mgr, have uninstalled and reinstalled the sync and driver..
removed from dev mgr..
updated while in fastboot mode etc..
no dice..
318-us
official 2.2 rom
att unlocked.

can i convert a zip to a pkg and rename it update.pkg?
right now all i have is the pkg option when i hold the vol buttons and power.
i recently flashed to the new update which had fixes and newer baseband etc..
that went fine but the the steve 1.5 came out and i want to switch back.
as stated above thats not possible now since fastboot refuses to see my device.
Can someone put it in a pkg format for me maybe?
I dont like this official release...
its slow..it has lame apps, etc..
lil help?
dont really want to formate my laptop to fix a usb driver issue..
especially when the mass storage and sync work just fine..

cant use fastboot after update to 318

there is a way of flashing custom recovery via terminal emulator. DEVICE NEEDS TO BE ROOT'D
save .img on to SDcard and rename to recovery.img
then open terminal emulator and type
su (press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter)
reboot (press enter)
I had the waiting for device problem. I read a few tips saying to try...
Type "adb devices" to see if its recognised there.
Make sure streak is the only device plugged in usb.
If using a hub try a different slot or direct into pc.
Turn streak off and into fastboot while still connected to pc (after pc loads drivers)
Reboot pc.
I swapped usb soccets and that fixed it for me
Hope one of these tips works for you too.
Thank you. I actually tried all of those things...before i posted.
wondering if maybe the 318 isn't compatible..
it says its in fastboot mode..
everything else works..sync, sd card shows in explorer etc etc..
just no fastboot.
luckily the recovery still allows me to do .pkg but i need zips too
very annoying..
I ordered a M11XR2 and will try with that when it arrives..

I have 318 and fastboot works for me.
I only had to reconnect the adb bootloader interface driver again (just like I had to the very first time).
It is just fine now...
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=8285
I've not had any issues with fastbooting, after installing 318, I've managed to flash clockworkmod aswell as the new Streakmod recoveries with my Windows 7 64bit.
reconnect the adb bootloader???
what do you mean?
you mean you plugged the usb cable in and ran fastboot?
lol
yeah..thats helpful

NO....
The streak wasn't recognized on the PC in fastboot mode, so I went back to device manager and found the unrecognized android device and set it to use the bootloader driver... The same proceedure as was done the first time the streak was connected to a PC to setup fastboot.
Took almost 30 seconds to fix
as i said though.. i have no conflicts...
I can even remove it from the device mgr...put eh phone in fastboot mode where it is waiting for usb coinnection..plug the phone in.. iot installs the drivers then the phone sees this and shows fast boot...
so you would expect it to work right? wrong... it says waiting for device...
I have tried everything I can think of..
i got a good deal on a new m11xr2 with win 7 so i will have a fresh slate and will see what results i can get.
in the mean time.. how can i convert this steve 1.5.zip to a .pkg?
or even install it with some other sokution or method?
i have it rooted via one click...
i have root explorer...
what now? lol
there has to be a better way..

Its easy to miss bits when its all going wrong so do check the sticky look here first for streak, I had to refer to it a few times. You definitely need clockworkmod or streakmod to flash updates. I believe you can do it via a terminal app with su privileges. There's a thread from a few hrs ago saying. I will find for you if you can't

I know Steve mentions "if you haven't flashed official dell update" blah blah... so im guessing you don't loose performance unless you manually downgrade? Have you seen the thread I mentioned? The OP claims he changed the dell .pkg to .zip and successfully flashed via clockwork..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869076
how does that help me?
when i power up holding the vol up and down buttons i only get the install Update.pkg option and when i choose it it takes me to the blue text screen when i choose to either update via pkg or reboot. its the Android system recovery utility GAUSB1A131800
there is no option or way to get an option to install zip.
I would like to be able to install the performance fix for 2.2 zip or steves 1.5zip
so do you understand now?
I cant get fastboot to work to install clockwork.
I only have the recovery utility...

it seems like i remember a thread about converting zip to pkg..
I cant seem to find it though..
if you just rename it in root explorer you get a signing validation error when you try to install it..
so I'm still stuck on stock 2.2
The initial thread is irrelevant, Have you not flashed a clockworkmod or streakmod previously? I would guess its possible to store a recovery.img on sd then flash via terminal app, i cant see why not? You could also probably use adb (if you cant connect to that the theres apps to do it wirelessly)
yes, i have flashed many times...
I flashed to 309 recovery in order to install the latest dell Update.pkg which went just fine. then when i went back to flash clockwork i could no longer connect via fastboot.
and thats where im at now..
cannot get fastboot to flash clockwork so i can install zips..
hence im asking for a way to do it without clockwork/fastboot until i get that sorted..

an I still believe the issue is that you do not have the correct bootloader driver installed on your PC as described here:

The issue is your PC, not the Streak (most likely)

sounds like an eMMC fail... which as of now, does not have a fix for.
you could try to flash PD151IMG.zip in bootloader and see if it will work...
if it shows Fail-PU, then the phone is truly bricked.
how to flash PD151IMG (in case you didn't know)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
THIS IS THE STOCK TMOBILE ROM THAT THE MT4G CAME STOCK WITH, ANDROID 2.2.1. IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA, AND YOU WILL LOSE ROOT, BASICALLY A FACTORY RESET.
once you got the file downloaded:
!) put zip in SD card
2) MAKE SURE FASTBOOT IS OFF (check in settings-manage applications)
3) power down the phone
4) reboot phone into bootloader/HBOOT by HOLDING power and volume down buttons.
5) once the MT4G is in bootloader, it will search and find the PD151IMG.zip file
6) select "yes" to proceed
7) wait for the phone to reboot
8) hit the thanks button at the bottom of this post VERY important
walla, there you have it, brand new, out of the box MT4G STOCK ROM.

Make sure USB debugging is ON and plug phone via the usb.
Open a command prompt and type cd\adb and hit enter. You should now see something that looks like this C:\adb>
Type adb devices then hit enter in the command prompt and it should list your device.

You need to have the adb file for this to work. Download it here.
Try search for adb method using terminal on linux.

Download the special linux SDK, Eclipse etc. One thing you should do to make adb work is add your sdk/tools directory to linux's $PATH.
It should go something like this...
$ echo $PATH (should return the directories associated with $PATH)
$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/sdk/tools (replace with path to your tools directory, you may need to add 'sudo' to the beginning of this cmd)
$ echo $PATH (you should now see your tools directory added to the end of the $PATH variable)
$ adb devices (now adb should do something, if nothing else at least error, no devices)
Ok, i have a mytouch 4g that has never been rooted. The problem with the phone is that all of the sudden when i try to turn it on it wont get pass the splash screen. It will just turn off and reboot to the splash screen over and over. Thing is that i can get into Hboot quite easily. I tried to reflash the stock IMAGE file and it does it well without problems. But once its done and i hit power to reboot, the phone just starts to bootloop again doing the exact same thing. I know its kinda odd but i read somewhere that if i can get into Hboot the eMMc is not fried. But then what should be the problem?

Same prob here...anything like odin for htc? Engineering mode? I used two diff zip files tha were supposed to be the same recovery/ stock image/zip... think it i15img.zip or something... one does not do anything cept try and parse and restart other goes thru ok ok ok ok ok ok then skips the tp tp writes and says deferred or something but looks to get the job done but nah... what are the tp writes I skips...think they are right before the radio write...arg too tired

HTC's too pro to have odin
the stock image file is named "PD15IMG.zip" and should be flashed in the bootloader.
Same here, this one skip the tp tp saying Bypassed on the second tp but everything seems to run ok. Only thing is that when i hit power after the update it will just start with the bootloop again. Since this is a friend, I dont really know what version it was running. But i do know its never been rooted or anything like that. Its on .86.000 and S-on and everything. Im going to try the gingerbread just for fun and see what happens.
thinking tese are Gingerbread update fails?
Let us know how the gingerbread turns out...Someone must have a recovery zip? Its obvious the two files I am trying to flash named the same thing are not the same thing or one is corrupted....211mb takes an hour on my connection now ANYONE HAVE A RECOVERY ZIP? Is there a program like odin(OK NOW I KNOW TO USE CMD AND ADB) Now I need a mytouch button press sequence to get to ENGINEERING MODE? to write to the frickin thing...I thought HTC was gonna be better than Samsung in this respect...I have one good mytouch4g that I can get the serial using the command 'adb devices' that is once mytouch is booted up...so question is how do i get to engineering mode in my bad my touch(which wont boot) so I can PUSH the file in command line interface.

Turn the phone completely off, and turn it on again using volume down+power buttons. This enters hboot, or bootloader, where you flash the stock PD15IMG.zip file.

Once the phone is in bootloader, connect it to the computer, and you should see "fastboot USB" on the phone. Then open up adb, and type
Code:
fastboot devices
Sent from my HTC Glacier Sense 3.5 using xda premium
EDIT: here, download THIS FILE, rename it to PD15IMG.
then place it in the ROOT of your SDcard (not in any folders)
turn off and reboot the device into bootloader
bootloader should find the file and ask if you want to update
not sure if this is the method you used... tell us how it goes
Hmm Command did not say i had any devices (blank line) but my command line interface is in fastboot / adb(whats the differnce?) seems like it sees it? tell me if Im wrong...

Hi everybody.
I don't know how it happened (I just wanted to do a reboot in the recovery mode), but now I've got the blue led when normally turn my phone on. I can't even access to the fastboot (blue led too).
The only thing I can do, is boot in the safe mode, by booting my phone (connected to the charger) after removing the battery... I tried "reboot to bootloader", without success...
I think it's because of the recovery, because I had some problems during the installation of my last ROM, a few months ago. So I'd think I must flash a new recovery.
ow can I get out???? ADB? Special "trick"? Factory reset from the ROM? Flashing a new recovery (I don't know how...)?
Thank you, Roumaru
I tried to flash a new recovery with ADB, and then reboot to the bootloader, but it didn't work.... I'm really stuck!
Try RUU method if you are able to acces bootloader mode ,or try to search the forum or look into FAQ,for the answer of your problem.

Install mumilover's Fastboot Commander. Connect it to your PC with a USB cable, turn it on, and run Fastboot Commander. It will display a bunch of information about your phone that will help us diagnose the problem.
Just cut and paste the info it gives you. If it doesn't work, just tell us what information you see on the phone's screen.
You should see something like:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)

Yes, I understand that he can't get into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, or Recovery using physical buttons. But there are other possibilities we can check. I don't know his skill level, knowledge about the device, or the complete state of his device, so I'm trying to build a clearer picture.
If fastboot reports nothing, what about adb? If adb reports nothing, check device manager to see if it's even noticed by the PC.
When I said "just tell us what information you see on the screen" what I meant was "tell us what the screen is showing, even if it is nothing at all and the blue LED is on". My fault.
I'm curious about the whole "safe mode" business. Is it truly booting into safe mode, where you can see the words "safe mode" on the screen, or is it something else?

I can NOT boot in HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and Recovery, but when I remove the battery, put it in the phone, plug my charger, and then press the power button, the phone boot normally, except he's in the "safe mode" (can't access some applications, no network). I can control my phone with ADB, but when I tried "adb reboot bootloader", the blue led was here again...
I also tried the RUU method, but the RUU doesn't recognize my phone.
I think it would be good if I could do a "total reset" of my phone, like flashing it or something that can reset the bootloader.
Thank you for your interest

Could you try something? Make sure your phone is accessible using adb, then do this:
adb -s [serial number for phone, without brackets] reboot oem-78
The serial number can be found using "adb devices".
That should reboot you into RUU mode. If it doesn't work, safe mode should still be accessible.
Please don't post Q&A in the development section.

Doesn't work, the blue led is coming again...
Another idea, except Jtag? Because I don't want to spend money on my Magic, and I don't think I've got the material to do the Jtag...
However, thank you everybody!

Hey, we're not giving up yet
You can access ADB, so it may be possible to push a recovery image onto the device and flash it.
For the original instructions, click this link and focus on Step 9.
Here's a shortened version:
Download roottools and unzip it somewhere on your PC.
With your phone in Safe Mode and connected to your PC, open a command prompt.
If you know which radio you were on (3.X or less, or 6.X), cd to that directory in roottools and push the recovery image.
Example: If you have 6.X, you would
cd c:\roottools\6.35Radio\adb push Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
Next:
cd to the "App" directory of roottools, then
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 flash_image (you might have to use /data/local/tmp/flash_image or ./flash_image)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
If you get through that with no errors, we should be good. If it throws an error at "su" then you should try using SuperOneClick to get temporary root.
If it flashes without errors, you can try "adb reboot recovery" and see what happens.
Resolved
A few days ago, the "safe mode" logo disappeared. Really didn't understand why, but now my problem is solved!
Thank you for all, Roumaru

That's great news! Everything works normally now?
I have heard that a stuck button or trackball is a possible cause. Maybe that was the problem with your phone, but it became unstuck?
Cheers!
