Was gifted a Dinc that was stuck on boot screen, reset did nothing.
DL'd the GB PB31IMG.zip (from Doug's site), ran in HBOOT .... Update is now stuck on step 2, updating the radio.
It reads like this:
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER - FAIL-PU
[2} RADIO_VZ - Updating
The progress bar on the right hand side looks to be 95% full, but nothing has changed in, oh, maybe 30 mins.
Don't want to power down quite yet and risk junking it. Maybe should have tried the Froyo stock image??
Tried the Froyo image... same result, except it passed boot loader.
Could HW issues prevent radio updating?

What I'm looking at.... another 30 min in. May try some older stock images.

Each time you power down the device during a critical update like this you have a chance of bricking. I hate to say you may have gotten a defective phone.
Yeah it's looking that way. I'm curious as to just what is defective though. It's a freebie so I'm not torn over it. I'll keep playing and see if something works.

Have you tried a newer ruu that will update hboot? Then you could unlock your bootloader flash a recovery, do a full wipe, and try to flash a rom. Or unlock,fastboot flash misc partition, and try to downgrade to froyo again (hopefully the radio takes), then flash recovery and then the s-off patch. However the radio not updating dosent seem like a good sign.
I think it's officially a paperweight. It won't communicate with the RUU. It will list as a fastboot device but will not pull the identifier token (just says waiting for device). Maybe that is because of the HBOOT version, though. What is the oldest version that will work with the htcdev unlock? This one is on .92.

You need at least 1.02 for the identifier token stuff to work. You should be able to flash just the HBOOT through the bootloader with the PB31IMG.zip from dinc.does-it.net (the link in cmlusco's sig).
Just attempted that and may have found the problem, although I have no clue what it means. On my way to flashing the HBOOT here's where it failed:

There was more, but wouldn't show in the window. It also did not shutoff this time, however the command prompt is hung and I cannot navigate the menu with the rocker. ODD
Did you try to flash the bootloader or the ruu? You can only flash a seperate bootloader if you are s-off.
I tried running the RUU executable from the htcdev site first, when that didn't communicate with the phone I tried the 'oem rebootRUU' command to try and flash the 1.07 HBOOT from there. I was thinking of trying to use the 'flash bootloader' command, but figured it wouldn't work s-on.
To use the ruu exe the phone must be booted. And as i said before you cant flash an hboot only update unless you are s-off. You need to flash this http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot. Place the file on your sdcard in no folders, named eaxctly PB31IMG.zip. Boot to hboot. It should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. Or you can do the fastboot oem rebootRUU way.
Right, right, right....
The thread was started because flashing the stock image PB31IMG wasn't working, a subsequent step was attempting oem rebootRUU which failed, and I acknowledged the s-on problem.
I'll try the stock image you provided to see if it takes.
Ugggh, this phone....
Well, that image progressed a little further than the first two. Passed bootloader, then...
1 RADIO_VZ - FAIL-PU
2 BOOT - OK
3 RECOVERY - OK
4 SYSTEM - Updating....
Stuck like this for 15 minutes. Seeings how the HBOOT was successfully updated to 1.07, I'm sorely tempted to pull the batt and try to unlock now. Guess I can't make it worse! Here it goes....
Correction. I made it worse. No booting of any sort now.
Not even hboot? Did the rest of the ruu complete or did you stop it?
Not even hboot. I let it sit for 20-25 minutes after I noticed it stuck "updating" then pulled the battery.
I shouldn't have flashed that image without asking for radio info (or md5 for that matter) as I think I remember reading somewhere that there is a particular radio that bricks the phone if it's flashed over itself.

More likely the batttery pull did it. Sadly we won't know. I hope that you can figure out something.

It was radio 2.15.10.12.20 and it can be flashed over it self without issue, i have done it several times my self. The md5 is just the file url with .md5 on the end ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip.md5 ).
All files on dinc.does-it.net have an md5.

You cannot ruu while s-off is there. Make it S-ON and try aggain, but before making s-on flash a custom recovery. Just to be safe

I'm not sure what are you talking about, what custom recovery before you do s-on?
The proper way to do that is to flash downgrade hboot from alpharev via fastboot and then run ruu.

As I understood you got s-off via htc site?
Then you don't have access to radio and hboot partitions only to recovery, system and data so it's not allowed to flash hboot via fastboot.
You can flash recovery from here:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
download proper recovery.img and flash it via fastboot. You have to type the path correctly to the space where you stored it, ie:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
Then go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
find and flash a rom of your choice. These are custom roms and are flashable from recovery (install zip from sd card command).

Here you go, just search the thread, for every rom it is written if it's cm7 hboot compatible.

Hi everyone,
i have a problem with my Desire 300. When I try to turn it on it vibrates once and it shows the HTC logo, but after few seconds it vibrates 7 times, but still not booting... I can enter bootloader and fastboot, but when I try to connect phone into a fastboot, Windows shows it as Unrecognized device...
What should I try next?
Anyone?
Can you get any info in cmd when you input:
Code:
fasboot getvar all
if you can post it here. Also install last version of HTC Sync and others drivers you might need for the fastboot and adb.
I have same problem.

Maybe emmc turned to write protected?
It's probably a dead motherboard, I have one at home that does just that, tried everything without luck.
Then I got a different one, 100% working but broken screen, got it really cheap.
So I replaced the motherboard from that one to my original phone, everything worked fine until I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.
Now the phone still works, but it vibrates 7 times when I turn it on (before the HTC logo, when the screen is still blank), and also vibrates seven times when I turn it off. An everytime I turn it on again, it reports an error, asks me to send an error report to HTC because the phone crashed, but it didn't really crached, I turned it off.
The phone works OK, but I think there's something wrong with the software, it behaves strange, for example I can't add homescreens and rumrunners S-OFF doesn't work, just keeps restarting the phone.
I have tried to install stock RUU for the phone, but it fails.
My guess is the bootloader got screwed up after multiple tries with rumrunner S-OFF. After it failed, it was stuck in bootloader so I disconnected it, removed the battery and restarted.
I can eneter bootloader and CWM without any issues, flash ROMs etc, but the phone behaves strange.
Everything works though, GSM, WiFi, bluetooth, root checker says root is OK...so I don't get it, why those vibrations.
At this point I'm trying to restore the phone 100% to stock, but can't flash stock RUU. Do I have to relock the bootloader to flash stock RUU?
Such a strange device, never had these rooting issues with any Android before.
I guess that's because there isn't good development for it, everything is kinda improvised and half-baked.
I was hoping to root it and S-OFF to be able to remove bloatware, but whatever.
EDIT: I have noticed that if I have Fast Boot option enabled in setting, the phone turns on and off fine, no vibrations.
I got at the bottom of it. Problem is eMMC which is corrupted. So solution is, change IC(chip) or get other motherboard. Also reflowing wont help.
Hello everyone,
usually I was able to solve almost any issue with android devices by myself, simply by doing some searching here on the forums and via google. But this time it seems like that I've screwed things up big time, since I couldn't really find anyone having the same issue as I have.
My device is a Nexus 7 2013 LTE. It's unlocked and was running rooted with a custom ROM before, without any real issues. Since I traveled a lot with it, I was using the encryption as well. After I tried wiping the device, things went south. At first TWRP was unable to decrypt the data (?) partition but that was due some outdated version which I got fixed by installing the most recent version of TWRP (3.0.0.0) via fastboot. Unfortunately The device doesn't boot into the OS anymore but at the same time, I can't wipe any of the existing partitions using the TWRP GUI and I haven't even bothered trying to flash any ROM on the device.
Here are some logs:
Code:
Updateing partition details...
...done
Unable to mount storage
Full SELinux support is present.
Data successfully decrypted, new block devices: '/dev/block/dm-0'

I feel like I messed up the partitions or something but I'm not quite sure if that's actually the case. And even if so, wouldn't know how to fix that. If there is any more information I can provide to make troubleshooting easier, I'll gladly do so.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you very much.
All you need is:
run: fastboot format userdata
run: fastboot reboot
wait for the long first OS start

No worries at all. We could use mke2fs but CWM can do it faster.
download CWM to your folder with fastboot app
boot N7 in fastboot mode
run: fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-flo.img
in CWM select mount and storage
do format /data and format /data/media
This should fix it :good:
Note - we're not flashing new recovery, CWM is only temporarily booted

Thanks again for your continuous support, I really appreciate that.
I gave CWM a go and did the steps you posted. This time there was no error message, however, when I booted back into TWRP, it still asked me for the encryption password.

This is getting serious. Let's check now fastboot format userdata - still with errors?
Then please extract "recovery.img" file from your preferred stock factory image or just download this LMY48T
Run fastboot boot recovery.img and do factory reset from it.
Well, how did it go?
I checked TWRP source code and noticed a bug in the Wipe_Encryption() function:
partition.cpp
Code:
} else {
string Command = "flash_image " + Crypto_Key_Location + " /dev/zero";
TWFunc::Exec_Cmd(Command);
}
"flash_image" does not work with "/dev/zero", it insists on a real image file. We can fix it manually from adb shell.
I'm currentyl trying the first thing (fastboot format userdata) and it's still going, since like two hours. I'm gonna leave it running for the night, just to make sure. If that won't work I'm gonna give the stock recovery a go tomorrow.

It's OK, just more clean up to do.
Please boot TWRP and run these commands in the following order:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/metadata of=/md
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/mc
adb shell tar cvzf mm.tgz md mc tmp/recovery.log
adb pull mm.tgz mm.tgz
You will find mm.tgz in your adb app folder, attach it to your next post.
Next adb reboot bootloader
Wait and run: fastboot format cache
I need to see the mm.tgz file before the next step. In the meantime you could try stock recovery reset again but this time use LMY48T from my earlier link.
Instead of ADB you could use a scripted zip run from USB OTG. Let me know if you prefer this option and I'll prepare it for you.
Sorry for the late response, I had little free time to look into this.
For some reason, it doesn't boot int TWRP anymore. I tried to "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-deb.img" but it gets stuck and never goes past the loading screen. Bootloader still works but neither flashing nor booting a recovery was any successful.
Please extract 'recovery.img' from a stock factory image and check if fastboot boot recovery.img works. Download and try twrp-2.8.6.0 because the newer versions are unreliable for me too. What are the error messages when you are flashing? Did you flash a stock image?
I think I got the same issue... solved it by install a factory image from here.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions
After that I wiped data and cache via stock recovery. Worked for me
Okay I've tried the following:
Booting twrp-2.8.6.0 via fastboot boot -> works
Booting stock recovery via fastboot boot -> works
However, trying to flash the stock recovery (just like any other recovery) failed.
Code:

It's time to have a look at your hardware log:
boot TWRP
connect PC
run: adb shell dmesg > dmesg
find 'dmesg' file in your adb folder
attach it here or upload to http://pastebin.com

Hi
My friend some how managed messing up both the OS and recovery of the phone, he said he was using it and all of a sudden it turned off battery was about 50% and booted in bootloader so he tried every option on the screen LOL . Now it is stuck in bootloader mode whenever i try to select the recovery it comes back to the HBOOT. i have already tried unlocking the bootloader but its not working as well. I am all out of ideas as i do have an samsung and lg phone and i know a great deal about them but for htc i have limited knowledge.
i have also tried to use this RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_release_417003_signed.exe
but every time it ends up with Error 171 Usb connection error ( i have used different usb cables and tried other usb slots as well still no luck )
i am all out of ideas now.

Look here at post #28 and #30. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2717928&page=3 . Download that .zip template
You can put the TWRP recovery.img (it has to be renamed to recovery.img) inside the zip as directed (change the .txt file with your CID and MID), put it on the SD card and let the bootloader automatically detaect and flash it. Once its completed you would have to power down and remove it from the SD card otherwise it would try to update again next time you go into the bootloader. That should load a recovery from which you can flash a ROM
Is the bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED ?
Is it rooted ?
It seems that baseband is corrupted, if it is not a hardware failure, flashing a signed firmware may helps as there is no RUU available for the device version.
You need signed firmware 4.19.61.3, try to search for it.
I may have the firmware.zip in my hardisk .. will look for it later. But I do have a higher version firmware 6.12.61.4 available in my thread linked in my signature.
For S-On device, only firmware of same or higher version can be installed.

His device is S-On, he won't be able to do that and your link is not reachable.

You are indeed correct. My bad. Missed that bit. The link should be reachable though as I have used it this morning. Anyway, doesn't matter now.

thanks for the reply, no its not rooted and its the stock S-on not unlocked or re-locked.
i am trying the 6.12.61.4 RUU i will report back if i have any success with it ,
nevermind . i think there is a hardware problem.

It looks like it is a hardware problem. It's best to send to HTC Service Centre if it is still under warranty.
This practical solution I wanted to share here after i couldn't find a solution online is for Nexus 7 devices that can boot into Fastboot. If your device can't boot into fast boot anymore try this solution by K23m from here. And if your device have instead a faulty eMMC that might need replacement or else check here instead.
My Nexus 7 2013 16gb with Toshiba eMMC got stuck on a boot loop two days ago. I used twrp recovery to wipe it all, refresh lineage os or stock ota, yet i couldn't get past the boot loop. Ill spill the beans early here, It fixed and it needed me to zero out all the free space of the eMMC. as soon as i did that i got back to a 100% reliability and fast speeds like the first time i bought it.
But first was how to boot into a working android image to download and run the zeroing utility. The only working image i could run was the old Factory image "razor-jss15j-factory-2e08b83b.tgz" you can google it but ill provide this mirror link just in case it disappears.
I believe that my problem was that i had little space left and it got corrupted in some way maybe because of bad Trim process. in any case the following old factory image is small and have the highest (only?) chance to boot once and allow to reset the empty space values int he eMMC.
I started by following the process under fast boot:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-03.14.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip
Try booting 4 times if it doesn't work add this step before:
Download the great restore script and files from "[TOOL] 06/22/14 One Click Factory Restore 4.4.4 KTU84P (dead or alive)" here at XDA and download the "Nexus7_2013_KTU84P_Restore.zip WIFI Flo" if you're like me or the other corresponding image for your Nexus 7 version.
First copy the files of the razor-jss15j-factory from the compressed archive inside the same folder as the restore archive and
Run these fast boot commands from within:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-03.14.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-flo.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot -w
fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Try booting 4 times with at least one switched off period of 20mn in between till you boot in. ( it is random and its not guaranteed it will work for you like i did for me)
I know some command are redundant and might make you think its stupid to do so but believe me when i say i spent 2 days non stop trying everything i can short of opening the device to heat gun the eMMC chip
These are the last steps i took to finally boot in and i repeated the process as i tried the first time to flash newer images in the hope they will boot too but to no avail.
Now that you booted in the old android version first go to the App Store and download a free zeroing app like" Secure Eraser " by Giuseppe Romano from the app store. after you run it twice, you can reinstall lineage os or your favourite stock version and be relieved.
I hope this amateurish post help you not discard too early your beloved Nexus 7 tablet. its only worth for me is manga reading and youtube sometimes, and for that its a wonder.

Thank you for sharing the recovery steps but there is an instant and simple fix. While we will never know for sure the cause of this bootloop because no logs were created prior to the repair, the fact that only the old factory image worked provides most likely diagnosis. The Nexus saves some data like DRM files, sensor parameters or camera calibration in the 'persist' partition where it survives wipes and flashes, but occasionally it may be deleted or corrupted, and then Andoid goes into bootloop. The old OS can recreate the needed files on the partition while new ones can not.
To fix it just install a fresh persist.
Incidentally...
the officially available oldest factory image JSS15Q is just as good as your JSS15J
the linked XDA "One Click Factory Restore" script is obsolete, use official Google's instructions instead
filling up empty storage space with Secure Eraser will only accelerate NAND wear out, and trim is implemented since Android 4.3
Yes Nexus 7'13 is still great. I have two of them and no intention to upgrade.
Cheers

Thank you k23m,
Ill add the Fresh persist solution link for those who can’t boot into Fastboot
and the link to the Hardware Nand bricks fix too
As for my experience, I did try google’s recovery firmware and steps, however it proved ineffective. At some point even the recovery partition stopped working and forced me to only use Fastboot afterward. As i looked everywhere on how to fix the stuck boot and tried the proposed software solutions with no avail, i decided to share my practical experience of what worked for me, in hope it helps someone else facing the same problem.
my Nexus 7 device is already around 4 years old and it was a discounted demo unit form a retail store, It is a fact that the amount of read write have already reached a high level that must have wore the Nand quite a bit already. However, as the secure eraser method solved the problem, I don’t believe that doing so once in the 4 years span is much of a risk in comparison. My device was on post Stock Android 4.3 most of the time and was on Lineage OS Android 7 since last year, Trim clearly failed to perform. And many sources online believe that the way Google implemented Trim isn’t complete and think that the decreasing device performance on android devices must be linked to it.
I am convinced that the problem was software, related to Trim somehow, and as the Land chip i own is a Toshiba, it can be ruled out from the known faulty Nand brand some Nexus 7 have. Moreover, no error message was displayed when performing Fastboot operations. everything was executed with success all the time.

Many things happened during the repair session and I'd not credit "secure eraser" for the speed improvement.
The "secure eraser" app does not require root (to run fstrim) nor trigger TRIM ever! It just fills up empty storage space. Read the reviews - slow, horrible , inefficient. Let me propose an alternative - boot TWRP and run/install my TRIM script - it will optimize the storage space in seconds, without excessive NAND wear out - see the attachments. Run it whenever you feel that Google's TRIM algo is deficient and it's time for manual override...
:highfive:
About to give up on old Nexus 7 2013 (last ditch)
So I too have a Nexus 7 2013 that I used pretty heavy for the past 4 and half years. The last months, I pretty only used it for podcasts via the PocketCast (best Podcast app and runs on both the major mobile OS's.)
Anyways, it had been getting caught in these bootloops off and on. The last time it successfully booted was on Sunday (4/29). That session lasted until this past Sunday until it decided to reboot on its on and hasn't been usable since.
I tried the ADB tools on a Windows 10 but the only way Windows would talk to the device was when I set it to Recovery mode with the "Install from ADB". I tried a bunch of those stock images from the google developers site But in each case it would either fail the checksums or error messages about header.h.
I should add that I never installed any custom ROMs ,TWRP, or what have you. In fact, I never really paid much attention to the Android Development scene at all until the past couple of days.
I suspect that this device really is dead or that the eMMc storage / or NAND is just completely worn out. I got my money's from it though.
If anyone has any advice on other things to try, I'd be all ears. I'm probably going to move on try my hand with one of the Odroids.

I suspect that after 4.5 years the battery is finished. It may charge OK but its increased internal resistance will cause instability and reboots under heavy processing load. The following tests must be done with a very short, quality USB cable connected directly to PC's USB3 port. I insist on USB3 because it can deliver much higher current, sufficient to reliably run your N7 with defective battery.
Please post the output of the following commands:
turn off the Nexus
connect it to your PC
boot the Nexus in fastboot mode (when off press power+vol.dn)
on PC run:
fastboot getvar all
fastboot oem gpt-info
fastboot format cache
Next...
go to your folder with fastboot.exe and adb.exe
download twrp-3.2.1-0-flo.img to the folder
also unzip and copy the attached "twrp-log.bat" to the folder
in the folder open a DOS command window and copy/paste: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-flo.img [Enter]
when TWRP is up and running (may ask for ADB driver) and you see the menu, double-click on twrp-log.bat
Note, the above steps must be done withn 3 minutes to ensure complete dmesg log
then you will find a new file twrp.txt in the folder
zip up twrp.txt and attach it to your next post
Actually, as a new XDA user you may not be able to attach files or post links, so upload twrp.txt to http://pastebin.com and post only the subpage part, eg. from https://pastebin.com/9cat4t4X7 post only this 9cat4t4X7
Cheers :good:
First, thank you for the quick reply
Moving on. My problem is I can't get anything from the fastboot command. It just says "Waiting for device".
I assume that my USB drivers are totally wrong and I need to start all over in that regard.
When I read from this page, "developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb#InstallingDriver", I gather that there are actually two drivers to install, one for the Google USB driver and another specifically for the Nexus 7. Am I reading this correctly? What is this second driver?
(Oh and I did manage to find what I think to be a better quality USB cable.)

Thank you. It looks like you had to unlock it before running TWRP. I see some errors which should go away after you flash the latest factory image from fastboot. Then before you boot the fresh system, please make sure it is still connected to USB3 or a 2 Amp charger. If or when Android is up and running start an app like StabilityTest or some other heavy load benchmark tool. If there are no problems, disconnect the charger and see how it goes without it.
Your battery's stats:
Code:
<5>[ 3.908325] bq27541_get_psp voltage_now= 4040000 uV
<5>[ 3.909149] bq27541_get_capacity = 70% ret= 71
<5>[ 3.909973] bq27541_get_psp temperature= 287 (0.1¢XC)
<5>[ 3.910980] bq27541_get_psp current_now = 356 mA
<5>[ 3.911804] bq27541_get_psp charge_now (compensated) = 2235000 uAh
<5>[ 3.912811] bq27541_get_psp charge_avg (uncompensated) = 2365000 uAh
<5>[ 3.913635] bq27541_get_psp charge_full = 3161000 uAh
<5>[ 3.914611] bq27541_get_psp charge_design = 4090000 uAh
<5>[ 3.915466] bq27541_get_psp energy_now = 8067000 uWh
<5>[ 3.916442] bq27541_get_psp charge_counter = -51000 uWh
<5>[ 3.917266] bq27541_get_psp power_now = 1438000 uW
<5>[ 3.918243] bq27541_get_psp cycle count = 600
There is a huge drop of "charge_full" and very high "cycle count". I'd say the battery is definitely finished. I bet there are no problems or bootloops when it is connected to a good external power source via a short USB cable.
:highfive:

I am a newbie to using TWRP and this is the first time I have attempted to try a Custom ROM for my Nexus 7 2013 (flo).
The above command saved me. I was able to go into TWRP, Wipe, Advanced Wipe, and perform a Wipe of everything except the internal storage.
I then did the adb flash recovery <latest TWRP.img> and now I get the most welcome sight of the TWRP GUI.
Many many thanks.
