Attempting to Factory Reset or Unlock Bootloader Doesn't Go Past Red Triangle



Fido HTC Desire 510 (32 bit). Stock everything, S-On, bootloader locked.

After about a day's worth of searching followed by experimentation and trial and error, I am resorting to creating a new thread. Although the issues I'm facing aren't completely unique, I feel like the combination of issues I'm having makes my situation unique if you can wrap your head around that, which I think justifies a new thread decently enough.

Some while ago, Google Play Services kept stopping every minute seemingly at random. It made navigating the phone near-impossible. I factory reset the phone from Settings to no avail, as the problem actually became worse after the reset. Now the phone simply refuse to go past the HTC splash screen (soft brick), although I still have access to Fastboot and Stock Recovery. Despite having these tools on hand, I can't seem to do anything with them. My first hope was to use an RUU to completely wipe the phone clean, but unfortunately it's a Fido/Rogers variant which doesn't have an accessible RUU posted anywhere. I then tried the Telus and Cricket RUUs, but they didn't work because of mismatching CIDs. For the record, I tried installing the Telus RUU though HBoot as a 0PCVIMG.zip and the Cricket RUU as an .exe program, and neither worked. After these failures, I decided I'd try unlocking the bootloader to install a custom rom or even restore someone else's Nandroid. I also can't do this though, because every time I reach the final step of the HTCDev process, the phone just boots into Recovery mode and goes no further than that. To elaborate, it gets stuck on the red triangle screen where it just sits there and does nothing. This also happens when I try to factory reset the phone from the HBoot menu. For the record, I can still access recovery options and whatnot by holding down volume up and pressing the power button. I've tried factory resetting from the recovery, but I'm still stuck in the same bootloop.

My apologies for the lengthy post, but I felt I needed to be well-detailed in the off-chance someone actually responds to this old forum.

Thanks in advanced.



Won't boot past fastboot screen - CM13



I'm currently running CM12.1 on my HTC One M8, and have been successfully doing so for the past 6 months.

I decided to try and install CM13 today after all this time, and the CM13 and Gapps install were clean (i.e. TWRP reported it as successful) Then when I clicked reboot system, it loads into fastboot for some reason, not into the normal reboot screen.

Even after rebooting 5 or 6 times, it still repeatedly goes back into fastboot. Anyone had a similar problem who could help me out ?

I backed up, therefore am back to 12.1 for now.

OPO won't boot past boot logo, can't reach recovery



Hey guys.

Some issues right now....

I can't get the phone to boot. It gets stuck on boot logo. I can get it into fastboot, but not recovery.

If I try to enter recovery, it shows boot logo, then change brightness level a little bit for some reason, then nothing. Back to boot logo after screen goes black.

So it appears that the TWRP isn't installed correctly, but I've reinstalled it several times, but it never actually seems to work.

I can see the device in fastboot. Bootloader is also unlocked.

So, does anyone have a solution for this issue?

1st Gen Moto G - I can't get past the Fastboot menu



Hi folks.,

Daughter has a Moto G. It constantly powers on - goes to the "M" boot screen for a few moments then a sort-of black screen, although the screen is actually on - it is just displaying black pixels. It just stays there.

With a couple of long presses of the power button I can get it to turn off and then, if I'm quick, I can do the power/vol down combo to get into Fastboot menu.

HOWEVER - whatever option I choose Factory/Recovery whatever (other than the Barcodes - which shows the Barcodes) it just goes straight to the "M" screen for a few seconds and then the sort-of black screen again.

It's been a long time since I fiddled with Android stuff (I'm Windows Phone) so any help and guidance for an old idiot like me would be greatly appreciated.


TIA

Can't get past hands free activation on any rom



Decided to go back to my S-oFF Sprint htc one m8 from over a year ago.

First thing I did was update my firmware only, no recovery no boot, firmware only. I upgraded firmware to 6.20.651.3 using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2729173

I then updated my twrp from 2.8.50 to 3.0.2-0.

after I try any rom, even sprint roms, I can't get passed the hands free activation and prl update screen. It will reboot before the phone boots up. I have tried a few gpe roms and it wont get past the boot screen.

I tried loading up a nandroid i made over a year ago and its a lollipop rom that works, but still wants to go through handsfree activation. I am able to turn it off there, but want to get back to marshmallow and newer roms. I called sprint support and they said it shows as fully activated on their end.

What else should I try? Should i upgrade firmware, recovery and boot?

Tied everything to root swift, cant get past initial fastboot stage



hi all, sorry if this has beeen posted before but its bugging me as i spent literally 4-5 hours lastnight trying to sort it, i havee rooted 4-5 android phones in the past but im just having no luck with this one

i installed adb / fastboot minimal, enabled what needed to be enabled in developer options on the swift, booted the swift into fastboot mode, then when i run adb on my computer, the first command works 'fastboot oem unlock' but after that its constantly saying 'waiting for devices' whenever i try the next phase of commands ie. fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go etc it just wont detect the device at all in windows on adb, is there any suggestions anyone could throw out there before i end up sending it back and getting an alternative android phone thats easier to root? the only thing i can think off is its a usb driver issue? but i installed the gloogle usb drivers and it picks up the phone for file transfer etc so im not sure if this is the issue. many thanks!
