HTC Desire 820s , No Bootloader - Desire 820 General

Is this real ? i really cant access boot loader , just the recovery with the no command screen
can you confirm ??
if so then what i think that this device is already dead

It has a fasboot mode, for now I can only access it via adb (adb reboot bootloader). It shows a black screen with fastboot mode at the bottom.
It also has a stock recovery mode, shows 'no command' but can be activated by pressing power button.
After you've activated it:
Vol+ to select
Vol- navigate down
Power to go back

Adb No devices found , idk why my Laptop doesn't detect my desire 820s

wil try now just installed htc sync manager

okay it worked and i went to fastboot mode , when i give a cmd order it says waiting for device
eg..... fastboot oem info

Same here
fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
any idea ?

Mediatek Htc devices do not need bootloader unlocking, you can flash anything from fastboot mode

You are right, Mediatek HTC devices dont have bootloader. Infact mediatek htc phones can be flashed with SP Flash tool just like micromax phones. I know this is true for htc 816g.

hhmm
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img => partition 'recovery' not support flash

but flashing recovery with SP flash tool will work for sure.
1. Put your custom recovery in the firmware folder,
2. del stock recovery.img,
3. rename your custom recovery as recovery.img,
4. load scatter file,
5. uncheck everything except recovery
6. click download and then connect your powered off phone to pc while holding vol down
someone Please confirm if this works with 820s, without worrying about bootloader

Can mention on which device you have checked it, does it has locked bootloder (if exists)?
RUU in mediatek? i dont think mediatek phones have RUU, (try "fastboot oem rebootRUU" to check)
But if it does, you can extract rom.zip from the RUU THEN EXTRACT system.img, boot.img and recovery.img
Then keep copy this to your firmware folder (containg scatter file)
load scatter file
Uncheck everything except system,boot and recovery in sp flash tool
Click download and connect your powered off device to pc holding vol down

I've done that but the phone usually cannot boot into the system.
BTW I am on Kitkat 4.4.4 without Sense and I want to flash Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 7.
The RUU is from a Taiwanese variant 820ys which runs Lollipop 5.0.2 and Sense 7 out of the box, same models(htc_a50ml_dtul)
The problem is that the Kitkat Firmware has smaller partitions compared to the lollipop one. An example is the Kitkat system partition which is about 1.4Gbs while Lollipop has about 4.9Gbs, so I cannot flash with the same scatter file.
So I edit the scatter file to inflate the partitions in order to accommodate the big Lollipop files (sytem.img,recovery.img and boot.img) and perform firmware upgrade.
What could be stopping it from booting? Is it due the fact that the Lollipop boot and recovery are verified? Thanks in advance

well this question will take the thread off topic. I would request you to create a new thread regarding this issue under "q&a,help and troubleshooting". Chances of your problem getting solved are higher if you do so. I will post my views regarding your issue in that thread. And i apologize to OP, because i only started answering questions irrelevant to his thread.

i totally accept off topics if they are helpful

Hi.
It worked, but pressing Vol UP, not down. Anyway i've installed Recovery but when i try to access it from bootloader the device stopped me tellig that is for Android developers. I think that is because at the top of bootloader screen it tell "LOCKED". Any solution?

you want to install back the stock recovery? or do you want a custom one?
if stock it's easy, if you want a custom one first you will need an unlocked bootloader then the custom recovery itself (compatible with your tab)
you have an unlocked bootloader??? what? how?
also try translating with google translate it's much better at asian languages (you koreean huh?)

1. for stock recovery:
boot tablet in droidboot mode (PowerOff then PowerOn+VolDown)
on your PC issue the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img using the recovery.img from the stock rom
(i am assuming your droidboot is functional as you were asking for recovery)
2. if you cannot boot into droidboot mode you will need to restore the droidboot: extract on your PC from the OTA Lollipop package, the files bootx64.efi (it can be found in the esp.zip in \EFI\BOOT directory) and the droidboot.img file, then boot into dnx mode (PowerOff then PowerOn+VolUp+VolDown, screen should say "starting fastboot..."), at this moment issue in order these commands:
fastboot flash osloader bootx64.efi
fastboot boot droidboot.img and after it boots in droidboot mode enter:
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
the bootx64.efi and droidboot.img are both from the OTA Lollipop package (you can find the OTA over the net, YT2-1050F_USR_S100017_1505261558_WW52_CN_otafull) or you can ask someone with Lollipop installed to give them from their system (bootx64.efi is on the ESP partition and droidboot.img can be dumped with a dd from the fastboot partition)
ps. there is no custom recovery at this moment (lollipop or kitkat) as there is no unlocked bootloader (one can flash whatever wants on the boot/fastboot/recovery partition but the images will be rejected at boot for not being signed)

but, download -> ???.apk or close server or other.. nowhere rom
Where is stock rom?
1. do you need the recovery.img from the stock rom? if you have a valid droidboot(fastboot), ie if you get the droidboot menu when you start with (Pwr+VolDown) then the recovery.img can be found in the stock rom, check the all in one thread for 1050F stock rom (the recovery.img is the KitKat one, the OTA doesn't update that)
2. if you need bootx64.efi and droidboot.img meaning you cannot boot in droidboot(fastboot) mode (you are sure you cannot flash with fastboot) then the two files can be found in the OTA, search baidu for YT2-1050F_USR_S100017_1505261558_WW52_CN_otafull.zip, actually this is OTA for chinese package but i think it's safe to get/flash the bootx64.efi /droidboot.img from there (and only that)

[8/6/16] Unbrick RN3 from HS USB 900E with modified fastboot file

Found a way to reboot to edl mode from fastboot
All credits to @emuzychenko
1) Download modified fastboot file
2) Reboot your phone to fastboot
3) Double click on edl.cmd
4) You are on 9008/edl mode
5) Flash any fastboot image from Mi flash
You successfully unbricked your device
Hi
Try with that method also. It seams to work .
Next time I brick it again (trust me, it will happen) I will give those a try.
This is the solution www(dot)htcmania.com(/)showthread(dot)php?t=1163463
Cheked by me, the brick was to try to unlock the bootloader without the Xiaomi message.
Sorry for my english, bu ti hope to be helpful.
To restore the default Bootloader copy paste the emmc_appsboot.mbn from Fastboot Rom to the Adb foldee
and type command on cmd
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot
For those who have failed and stuck on "HS USB 900E" and the bootloader stick locked here is the solution :
1. Enter fastboot by holding vol down + power
2. Plug your RN3Pro to PC
2. Flash original bootloader from official fastboot firmware
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
3. Type again :
fastboot reboot
and quickly hold volume up untuk it enter "sideload" mode
4. Install Mi PC Suite from this link en.miui.com/thread-225600-1-1.html
5. Let the Mi PC Suite download the latest chinese firmware, just sit and wait until it done
6. Lets Brick the beast again

Guys, please mention the reason behind your device getting bricked too when you are reporting what worked and what didn't. Like whether during unlock bootloader process(without xiaomi's permission) or flashing custom ROM(most probably MIUI official updates) via twrp.

i've tried this myself. In HS USB 900E you can flash aboot through fastboot whether you stock recovery or twrp before bricked.

Only people with hardbrick(900E) and locked bootloader can this test methods, Please try and leave your feedback, maybe we will find a way to unbrick without opening the phone and voiding warranty. Good Luck

P9 Lite bricked (L31)

Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?

"I had to first extract the nougat firmware with huawei firmare extractor and flash everything by fastboot

To flash img. i used the file that i attached.
Good luck
so now i restored twrp , i put the update app in sd card and it doesn't want to flash , i'm still trapped in bootloop but i have access to twrp now what to do now ?
I found the old twrp is okey for downgrade,
Just put b161 update.app into sdcard/dload and press volume down + power key.
but flash badwolf's twrp will get stuck in fastboot, though It's not really bricked.
hi, maybe you also have a solution for my problem.
i installed a wrong update via sd card (dload etc.), now my phone is just black no signal nothing. and it seems like a fastboot loop always when i plug into the pc im in fastboot without doing anything
when i try to unlock the bootloader i get "failed command not allowed")
and also when i try to flash the extracted files from update.zip i get the same error ("failed command not allowed")
by the way i didnt active usb debuggin or oem unlocking
please help thank you

A2017G How to relock Bootloader to original mode.

Hi,
is it possible to relock the bootloader to original factory mode.
fastboot oem lock (will erase userdata)
Also you should restore the fbop partition: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fbop
For more reference see:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/lock-unlocked-bootloader-t3444044
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68738854&postcount=100
Also please don't open a thread to a question that has already been answered several times.
After i unlocked bootloader my phone now is recognized as A2017U. When i relock it will it then recognized as original A2017G ?
I am interested in a tutorial about going back to stock for G model
The procedure for the g model is no different than the U model except you have to revert the bootloader (fbop partition) because the european model is quite restricted.
For making a tutorial I would need to know exactly what you modified.
There are already good step by step guides in this forum. All I could offer you are my backup files for the recovery and bootloader for the 2017G with update B08.

The procedure for the g model is no different than the U model except you have to revert the bootloader (fbop partition) because the european model is quite restricted.
For making a tutorial I would need to know exactly what you modified.

At the moment i am on B09 rooted but I installed it via TWRP using DrakenFx's tutorial from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873485&postcount=3
Futhermore when I unlocked the bootloader I was on B03 and I saved the aboot.img and fbop_lock.img .
Now I would like to go back to fully stock to prepare for the android N update.
I would highly appreciate it if you could offer me some directions for this matter.
Never tried this method (so I take no responsibility) but in order to receive ota you need an unmodified system with locked bootloader.
To lock your bootloader:
First backup all your apps, data and internal sdcard !
Connect your phone to a PC and start adb:
Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
Phone will restart: (if you are on linux, run fastboot with root permission)
Type: "fastboot oem device-info" (just to check things)
"fastboot oem lock" (will lock your bootloader)
According to DrakenFX you should have the stock recovery already installed. So you can flash a sd card upgrade from ZTE "http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=98CEB24F9FFD433EA99EC424163149A6" (to bring you back to stock)
If you still have TWRP use DrakenFX files to flash your system back to stock, but this time do not flash supersu.
You should be good to go and just have to wait for ZTE to release the update and apply it via the updater UI.
BTW this is my fastboot oem device-info output:
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.059s]
finished. total time: 0.059s

Hi,
is it possible to relock the bootloader to original factory mode.

You mind my asking the reason WHY you want to Relock?
If is cuz the N update , I'll rather keep it unlock base on @lokissmile thread and I'm 100% sure I'll be releasing N TWRP Flashable Zips for all variants when N is available.
i have G model and flashed the aboot of the U modell.
How to flash back now the aboot of the G modell back ?
Any help for the G modell ?

as far my understanding the G model have factory images right? just download the one you were using and flash it using custom recovery.

@dodo34
This is correct, the full image should be the one that contains both the emmc_appsboot.mbn (this is your aboot or bootloader partition) and the fastboot.img (the fbop or fastboot command partition) as well as recovery.img. This will set everything back to stock in one swoop. Otherwise you have to reflash the signed (tenfars) TWRP to flash back the fastboot image and then falsh back stock, since regular TWRP will either not be there anymore or will not run since BL is locked now
P.S, you can leave the fastboot alone for the purposes of OTA, no update so far hes checked on it and i am not sure if there is a G package with it since it has not changed from release, so as long as the image you flash has the bootloader and recover you should be good for N
P.S.2 Actually I see a little catch 22 here. If you lock the BL first, then you will not be able to run TWRP or boot into system if it was modified. You would need to flash the "signed" version of TWRP or flash stock recovery before locking the BL. Stock would be preferable since it can flash the factory package withouht modifications. If using TWRP i think you have to change updater-script to remove a .... and i just found another catch 22. The updater-script will look for product name P996A04 and if yours shows as 2017U the it will report back P996A01 so you will have to have a signed TWRP on there no matter what. Either to flash the backed up aboot fbop and recovery and then flash the full factory package through stock recovery or mod the updater-script and remove the assert line and flash the whole thing with TWRP. What do you get in TWRP shel when you run this "getprop ro.product.model"

if he mod the updater_script from official zte update to make it flash friendly, this is what i'll do,
* Mod updater script and remove aboot and recovery for now
* flash new zip without file mention above
* boot to bootloader while having custom recovery
* lock back the bootloader
* boot to custom recovery and perform " format data "
* create a flashable zip with stock aboot and recovery
* flash new zip with aboot and recovery
* reboot to recovery and check if boot to stock recovery and while in there perform a factory reset
i know is a lot of steps but, seems like is the way to go to get everything back in place without zte noticing anything.
Now i am on B06.
I put update.zip B08 and select update. But it boots to TWRP recovery and update fails.
@dodo34 If you are trying to restore from the OS system update you need to reflash your stock recovery for it to work properly. Wait for someone to confirm what I just said, but that's how it worked for me.
how can i flash my original recovery. what is the command for cmd ?
Please help restoring back original recovery.

Putting Your Axon 7 Back to Stock
If you want to revert back to stock and re-lock your bootloader (eg. sending the phone in for warranty work or are selling it), you should be able to do that using the steps below. It worked for me, anyway, exactly as written below.
Copy everything off your internal storage that you don't want to lose. If you're not rooted (so already stock, but with unlocked bootloader), skip to step 6 below. Otherwise, continue.
Grab the "StockSystem" zip for your variant from this thread and place on your microSD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484
Reboot into TWRP and wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache
Flash the StockSystem zip and power off (doing so will restore stock boot but does not appear to restore recovery)
Boot into EDL mode and flash stock recovery only: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
Power off the phone, plug from computer, and then boot into stock recovery (hold Vol+ and press Pwr, continue holding Vol+ until recovery comes up)
Select "Wipe data / factory reset" and then "Yes"
After that finishes, select "Reboot to bootloader"
Plug in your phone into your computer and do: fastboot oem lock (see second post if this doesn't work and says <waiting for device>)
Your phone will reboot and should have been totally wiped (including internal storage) by doing the above
This should leave you with a stock, locked, and unrooted phone that can take OTAs. Note: it's possible (in fact, likely) that an OTA could break the ability to unlock your bootloader and gain root again, so be careful about going back to stock if you think you'll want to unlock/root later on!
If you need any stock files for B20 or B27 (stock recovery for re-locking, for example), you can get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/untouched-b20-boot-recovery-files-t3443818

Stock ROM to UPDATE IN 2021

Hello, good day. I just wanted to ask, (Im using custom rom now and my old backup is nowhere to be found) If I am going to flash my device to official stock rom, like if I flashed the older version (lets say the MM) can I still update my device today (up to nougat) through OTA update?
i think huawei cloud is the site where we download OTA updates from but I think is already dead.
(sorry if my poiint is confusing, I just really don't know how to explain it clearly)

So if I not mistaken, your build number is VNS-L31C185 EMUI 5 (correct me if I'm wrong).
Firmware finder and Huawei old server are down, so download service ROM.
IMO now you have two possibilities:
A) flash Service ROM using dload method, guide can be found in ReleaseDoc folder. The process will erase all your data and lock the BL again!
B)
- from downloaded ROM extract BOOT.img
RECOVERY.img
SYSTEM.img
CUST.img via 'Huawei update extractor' , follow Guide
(Note: CUST.img on Nougat can be found in the second archive)
- In fastboot mode flash extracted partitions using commands
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
- fastboot reboot
- Factory reset in stock recovery

Oh yeah. I just figured it out but had to rename that to update.app so update extractor can accept the file. Thanks by the way.

Bro try this way out...
Download and install TWRP (if possible) and let me know
Upd.: nevermind, I forgot you don't have an sd card,.
Upd.2.: without SD you can try to flash Service ROM (or B361 firmware) using TWRP and sideload method. Unfortunately, sideload is Greek to me , so google it.

Flash TWRP over eRecovery, run command
fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img
fastboot reboot
when a yellow warning appears on the screen, pres and hold Vol Up for 3 sec.
Edit: maybe your data partition is formatted with f2fs (after installing Elite ROM) , it should be ext4. I'm out of ideas bro, sorry.

No problem. I think I hard bricked my phone, I just got boot logo and fastboot but I can't find any fix or solution or anything to do with this.
