Hi All,
after i have installed font installer (from rom toolbar), after installation it asked me for reboot the device. from then onward it just show htc logo that's it. day before yesterday only i have unlocked the bootloader provided by htc.
I have htc wildfire.
even i use recovery option (pressing volume - and power on) image of cell shows with some symbol.
i dont have a recovery.img file in my sd card. after saving custom rec.img file in sd card can solve the issue (with the use of recovery option in hboot).
Please help me out.

Hi,I'm no pro so I'll try and help.
I think you need to install a cwm recovery.if you can find a way to place files onto your sdcard then find a pc49img version of cwm and place this on sdcard then using your phone with sdcard inserted you press power on and vol down then let your system find pc49img and install. Goto to wildfire,development,sticky,and search in 3xenos thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 to find cwm and everything else you need.
Hope this helps,if not then someone else will be more helpful and explain better procedures.

I don't think the PC49IMG method is working after unlocking with the HTC tool, flashing a recovery with fastboot seems to work though.

Use Fastboot
- Download this attachment and extract it to any folder (eg: C:\fastboot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630611&d=1308537074
- Download CWM IMG Image for Wildfire (Buzz) from here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img
- Place that IMG file along with the 4 files from the attachment in the same folder you created
- Now, turn off your Wildfire, connect to PC, and turn on in HBoot
- Navigate to Fastboot and Select it
- Open a Command Prompt Window (Start > Run > cmd)
- Type the following one by one and press Enter (It is assumed you created the folder in C Drive and have named it fastboot)
- cd\
- cd fastboot
- fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img
- This should produce 2 lines of code - SENDING RECOVERY and WRITING RECOVERY. If both states OK at the end, you should have CWM installed successfully after this.

Cheers scratch.
1 thing though,fastboot for a noob might be complicated,lol damn I'm no way experienced but I wouldn't consider myself a noob either and I still can't get my head round fastboot/adb.
I know for certain that using terminal method works but can't remember the process or command.!!!
Eeeeek lol I think I'm a semi noob.

U just download "PC49IMG" and save the file just in sdcard (not in anyfolder)... and then now restart it by pressing power + vol down, while sd checking it asks for the recovery installation, just give YES, then now delete that PC49IMG file in the sdcard (by putting it in card reader or something else..) and again restart it by power + vol down, now u go to recovery, now u will have further options. u can proceed now to flash rom or something......
Enjoy..........

Now that's just a stupid thing to say to someone who clearly doesn't understand fully what they're doing! From your comment what's to stop this Guy Googling a PC49IMG.zip and getting something completely different to what he actually needs??
Then he'll be even more confused.
If you know of a PC49IMG.zip that will work after unlocking the bootloader the HTC way then please share it with us.

anyway to go back to stock froyo ?

find the recovery image you want then follow this exactly. this is how i did it.
I. Flash a New Recovery Image
1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).
2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written EG (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img).
3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).
4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don’t already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market some have an onscreen keyboard and some don’t experiment till you get one, also hold down Menu in some of them to bring up the onscreen keyboard if you don’t see it).
5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).EG recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img
7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

Thanks for the detailed information but i can't follow those instructions as my phone can't boot.
i somehow managed to flash recovery but it is taking a while to backup current ROM.
How much time does it take to backup a ROM ?
Is it necessary to backup OR can i directly flash CM7 ?

Your current rom doesn't work so don't backup, just flash a new one.

[Q] Root on my HTC Desire

Hello!
I have my desire for more than a year, some time ago I attempted to root my phone but when using the revo ... there was no effect. I have to admit that I have no knowledge on this topic. I want someone to explain step by step what I need to do (preferably with pictures) and one by one said what happens (bootload and everything means nothing for me). I should add that I did not want to upload a new system just to get access to system files. I care about my android play in the substitution of system files. (I hope that after all this root can do).

Ur phone is s-off so to gain root all u have to do is flash superuser zip from recovery

You're able to do a OTA 2.3.6 update? What magic do you use, or what weed are you smoking?

Can I back to stock after root? (unroot). I also want to get more space on my phone. I read about making sth on SD card but i dont know what have to do. Every tutorial is other and i dont know now how to make.
When i press power button on recovery it shows htc logo and then phone icon with green then turns into a red with an exclamation mark

nlooo: i was asking if it's an option

Any solutions to my problem? Can some one reply me please.

You have to flash a new recovery. Try running revolutionary again, and let it install ClockworkMod.
To "make your internal memory larger", you will need an ext partition on your sdcard, then install a a2sd script.

So there is next problem when you run volume - and power button and then connect to pc it say Android 1.0 ( on revo you need to update drivers but but when i try to do it, it says not found (in that folder)). I got windows 7. Also i read that revo dont allow to root phones with hboot 6.93 or i'm wrong. Sorry for bad english

//thnx for correcting me.
Another way would be through fastboot. If you search the forums, you will find a "fastboot" tool. As I am posting from my phone, and because I suffer from a severe case of laziness, you will have to find it yourself.
Another thing you need is Android Usb Drivers. Google it, download the drivers, then plug the phone in the PC. Go to Device Manager, right click the Android 1.0, then click update , then select update drivers manually. Then browse to the folder you have the android usb drivers content in.
Try using this guide.

Moving on. Backing up from recovery does a full backup of the current state of the phone. If you do something wrong, this will restore your phone to the exact state that it was when the backup was made. Don't forget to make one before making major changes to your phone (rom flashing).
And yes, flashing that superuser.zip will give you root.
Before flashing a rom, after you did a backup, make a factory data reset, and delete cache and dalvik. This will make a clean installation of the rom.
To move your apps from one rom to another, i recommend using Titanium Backup, and restore your apps on the new rom.
Most roms require an ext partition on your sdcard. To partition sdcard, you must flash 4ext recovery. Do this by searching the play store for "4ext recovery control" the app will flash it for you. Then, backup your sd contents to your pc ( the partition proccess will format your sd), Then reboot into recovery, select tools, partition sd-card. Make an ext4 partition of 1gb, and for the rest select 0. Then, congratz, you have an ext partition. To use it, you must flash an a2sd script. I use "mounts2sd". Google it. This script will have to be flashed to any rom you install, every time, unless the rom already has a script built in.
Then you're ready to flash any rom your heard "desires". Hehe... get it... "desires".
P.S. Gold card information:
What a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example,if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier.It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID)check that the device does when installing a ROM.
If you have an unlocked desire, then you won't need a gold card.

If you backup from recovery, that backup will be saved on sdcard in the clockworkmod/backup folder.
To install a zip, go to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" , then find and select the zip. Remember to backup first.
Usually widgets, apps in general come in .apk format. If you want to install one, just install it with root explorer. No need for recovery install.
Anyways, i'm kinda tired. If you have any more questions, ask jmcclue.

My phone is S-OFF however I am unable to push recovery. I have SU signed package on the SD card though CWM is not there in my phone. I have tried numerous time with both, Unrevoked and Evolution's method but they just won't give me any result but keep me waiting.
I have even tried to flash recovery via fastboot but it returns with an error says "Failed".
Can some one through light on what am I missing?

access to recovery but stuck in bootloop

None of the "similar" threads have people with this problem. I can access Recovery (Clockwork Mod v5.8.4.0), I can do everything within Recovery, full wipe, erase dalvik cache etc, BUT it still will not get past "HTC quietly brilliant".
I got into this mess by trying to flash a kernel. I think the battery was about 15%.
I can mount the sd card via usb, so I'm going to extract the back-up I did before getting into this bootloop.
I've tried this:
If you have Custom ROM on or nandroid backup internal SD card
Reboot in recovery (If your still in fastboot, choose "Reboot Bootloader" and then go into recovery)
Restore a Nandroid Backup or flash Custom ROM
Reboot and go into fastboot
Clean cache in fastboot

IF YOU HAVE SIGNED RECOVERY:

5.- NEXT DAY YOU WILL SEE A SOLID GREEN LIGHT NOTIFICATIONS FOR A COMPLETE CHARGE.

Very Similar Problem - Please Help!
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have the same problem, all it says is 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' and it is stuck in a reboot cycle.
I was watching a YouTube tutorial on how to flash CM10 onto my One X (I do have ClockworkMod and all of that stuff installed already). Everything was going well, but the video only briefly (for maybe a second) mentioned the fact that you have to put the CM10 zip folder onto the phone storage before you flash the boot.img. I went on and followed the steps and tried to flash the boot.img, but as I said earlier, all the phone will do is reboot over and over again. I have charged it to full battery so this should not be a problem when I go to fix it.
I would be really grateful for any help on the subject as I contacted the person who made the tutorial, and he has not responded. Thanks in advance.

Just an update if anyone has the same problem as I did, all I had to do was go into ClockworkMod and go to:
Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage
Then, just connect the device to your PC and put the zip folder on phone storage. Then, flash the boot.img, and install the zip from SD card in ClockworkMod. Hope this helps.

First off, I'm sorry if you already knew most of the instructions below, or if you are an experienced user. I'm just writing the full steps out so that any user, novice or otherwise, can follow the steps and get their phone working. I will also assume that your phone is already rooted and has ClockworkMod installed.
Before anything else, make sure you have HTC Sync downloaded so that you have the drivers.
Okay, when you are trying to install a custom ROM, you have to put the full zip file on the phone storage. What I would do is create a new folder in C: drive called 'Android' or 'HTC ROM' or whatever you want to put. For the rest of the answer, I will call it AndroidF (android folder). Copy this zip folder into AndroidF. If you go into the zip folder (don't unzip it), you should find a disk image file called 'boot' or 'boot.img'. Copy this out so that it sits in AndroidF too (do not move it!). Once it is in AndroidF, rename it boot.
Once you have done this, go into the bootloader and go to recovery. This will take you to ClockworkMod. From there go to:
Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage
Then, connect the phone to your PC and put the zip folder onto the phone. Then, tap unmount, and go back to the bootloader. Click fastboot, and make sure that it says 'Fastboot USB'. If not, just unplug the phone and plug it back in again, and this message should be there. Leave the phone once this has happened.
Go back to AndroidF, and hold shift, right click and choose "Open Command Window Here". Command Prompt should pop up. Then type the following,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If this works, skip to the next paragraph. If not, type fastboot flash boot boot.img.img. This should then work.
Go back to the phone, and select HBoot. Then go to the recovery from here. Once in the recovery, go to:
Install zip from SD card > Choose zip from SD card
Find the zip file and install it. And voila! Your phone should be running whatever ROM you have picked. If you have any more problems, message me back and I will try and help as well as I can

You can use "adb push" and "adb pull" in recovery to copy files from and to your phone, but you have to mount sdcard from recovery first.
to browse storage directly on the phone you can use "adb shell" and then "ls" and "cd directoryname" to find file which you want to copy from the device.

[HOW TO] Unlock bootloader, Root, Flash Custom ROM, Flash Kernel And More!

Post 1: How to unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery and root
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Post 4: How to ADB Sideload a ROM
Alright. This is for everyone who wants to root their phone. I've seen MULTIPLE threads of the same question "Can I root my phone and How do I do it". So I hope I never have to see it again! In this tutorial, I use use my toolkit as the way to root. Doing it manually takes forever and that is why I made my toolkit.
Requirements:
HTC One X (charged to at least 70%)
Windows XP,Vista,7 (8 is not officially supported since I don't have the drivers)
USB cable
Ability to read and follow step-by-step
Understanding that I am no way guaranteeing anything. If you screw up your phone, you probably didn't follow my steps and made a foolish mistake.
Let's begin.
Download my toolkit from here.
Link 1 and Link 2
Extract the FOLDER to your C: drive or to your desktop.
MAKE SURE YOUR DIRECTORY DOES NOT HAVE A PERIOD OR SPACE.
Open One X.exe
So now you have my program open. Great.
On your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
From my toolkit, Click 1. Install HTC Drivers.
After the drivers install, restart your computer.
After your computer loads up, open my toolkit and connect your phone to the computer. Your phone should now be recognized.
Now, click 2. Register at HTCDev. Register with a VALID email address and LEAVE the web browser open.
Now, under the commands section of my toolkit, press Boot into Bootloader.
You should have a nice, white, shiny screen that says FASTBOOT USB.
Click 3. Get Token ID. Look at the pop up and it will tell you how to get the Token ID.
Highlight where it says < < < < Identifier Token Start > > > > all the way to < < < < < Identifier Token End > > > > > and right click and it will automatically copy it.
Now, click Submit Token ID. Your web browser should now open a new tab. Scroll down and in the empty box, paste your Token ID. Press submit. HTCDev now emailed you your unlock token.
Your phone should still be in the bootloader. Now, go to the email address you registered to HTCDev and DOWNLOAD your unlock_code.bin. Press 5. Unlock Bootloader. Locate your unlock_code.bin and it will flash it to your phone.
READ the warning. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE.
When you agree to it, press the volume up button and press the power button to accept it. Your phone will now restart.
When your phone loads up, go through the set up wizard. Then, on your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
Under the Extras section, press Perm Root. It will push SuperSU.zip to your phone.
Under commands, press Boot into Bootloader once again.
Now, it is time to flash a recovery.
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
CWM (ClockWorkMod) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
I recommend TWRP and we will use it for this tutorial,
Select TWRP and press Flash Recovery.
After it flashes, remove the USB cable and have HBOOT selected in bootloader. Press the power button and it will reload to another screen. Press the Volume Down button until you get to Recovery. Press the power button to select it.
Go to Backup and back up your boot and system partition. Always have a back up before you flash or do anything.
After that, go to Install and locate SuperSU.zip. Click it and slide the screen on the bottom to flash it. After it flashes, reboot the phone.
In your app drawer (your menu with all the apps), open SuperSU. If it says the binary needs to be updated, then update it. If it doesn't, then you are fully rooted!

Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
The fun part! Now, I will teach you how to flash a ROM and boot.img
Find a ROM you like, the first thing you should do is make sure it is COMPATIBLE with your phone. If you find a ROM that is for AT&T (Evita) and you have the International model (Tegra3), don't be an idiot and flash it. I will not help you with that since you already agreed to my warning from the first post.
International models won't work on an AT&T HOX and Vice Versa.
Also, DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN FLASH A ROM FROM ANOTHER DEVICE!
Will it work? NO! Will it ever work? NO! Can I flash it anyways? Brick your device, I don't care. I warned you.
Let's get back on task. So you found the ROM you want to try, so go ahead and download it. KEEP THE THREAD OPEN! MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND REREAD IT AGAIN! READ WHAT USERS SAID ABOUT IT AND ABOUT BUGS! GO AHEAD AND READ THE WHOLE ENTIRE THREAD! GAIN KNOWLEDGE!!
Connect your USB cable to your phone. View the folders on your phone. I like to make a folder called ROMs on my phone and transfer it in there.
After you transfer it, open my toolkit and press Boot into Recovery. When you are in TWRP, MAKE A BACKUP!!!
After you make a backup AKA a Nandroid, click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
So you wiped everything. Great. Your phone is ROMless, Yay!
Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
After it flashes, press reboot from the phone.
Congrats! Enjoy your fully working or borked ROM! Remember, DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs, DO NOT BUG/PM A DEV ABOUT UPDATES, and BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS!

Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Now, let's talk about getting back to stock. There are 2 ways to do this.
1. Flash the stock RUU (If available) (Recommended)
2. Restore your Nandroid (backup that I told you to make earlier)
1. I'll talk about flashing the stock RUU first.
Go here and download the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
Download the correct RUU for your phone.
Now, back up all your data (pictures, contacts, etc) since this will put your phone back to complete stock.
Connect the USB cable to your phone. Press Boot into Bootloader.
It should now say FASTBOOT USB on your screen.
Press Relock bootloader. It may give you a security warning error or it may say failed. Who cares, ignore it. It's normal.
Your phone will boot up normally.
When the phone is fully loaded. Unplug and replug the USB cable back in the phone. Now,run the RUU you downloaded and follow the instructions.
Your phone will be back to stock.
2. Now, we will talk about restoring your nandroid backup.
Connect your phone to the computer. Open up the folder to view the files on your phone.
From your computer, Go to TWRP -> BACKUPS -> (Your hardware Serial Number) -> (Folder you wish to restore to) -> and copy boot.emmc.win to your computer. Rename boot..emmc.win to boot.img
Open my toolkit and press boot into recovery.
Click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
Press back and press Restore. Choose the backup to restore to.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You are now back to your stock Nandroid.

4. How to use ADB Sideload
You may have seen what ADB Sideload around the forums but have no idea what it is. Since the HOX does not have an SD card, it makes things harder when you have to flash a ROM.
Here's a scenario when we need to use ADB Sideload.
1. You accidentally wiped your internal SD and have no ROM on your phone
2. You wiped your ROM and forgot to transfer a custom ROM/have no backups(Nandroid) available.
3, You have none of the above and there is no available RUU for your phone. <----- This is a real bummer.
Here are the steps to load on a ROM
I placed TWRP in my toolkit for a reason. CWM does not support ADB Sideload (as far as I know) and TWRP does.
Boot into recovery manually. Turn your device off and hold the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button together until the BOOTLOADER pops up. Press the VOLUME DOWN button until you have selected RECOVERY. Press the POWER button to get into RECOVERY.
Connect the USB Cable to your phone and computer.
In TWRP, click "Advanced" and select ADB Sideload.
Download a ROM to your computer (if you haven't already done so). Rename it as one word. For example CM10.zip, QX.zip, ARHD.zip, etc.
In my toolkit, under the extras section, press ADB Sideload a ROM. Press "Yes" when it asks you if you are in recovery. Then select the ROM you want to install. It will then sideload it to your phone and flash it.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Pull the boot.img from the zip file and extract it.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You now have a ROM on your phone!

1 more, just in case.

and yes, i know. Wrong section. posted here by accident.

thanksss

Thanks for the info you provided.

Hasoon, quick suggestion.
As much as I think your info is quality, I think you should add some screenshots.
If anyone's like me I hate reading massive paragraphs of instructions.
Remember - A picture can speak 1000 words
Thanks though.

Dear hasoon2000

You won't be able to get official OTA updates after you have flashed a custom rom.
My experience is that even rooting is tricky for official Firmware upgrades.
Even tough there are some ROM's on XDA that have OTA support!

Thanks! Works fine for me!

When you say THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE in post 1, does that include sdcard data, photos, music etc?

Since USB mass storage is not available, I've tried using android file transfer to backup my files before unlocking boot loader. Its not working though. Any way to do this?

Helps with Download mode

Need some help on how to get the download mode back.
so i have HTC 10, Nougat. S-off and unlocked bootloader,
had some issues with my phone so i formatted the user data from TWRP, the went to flash the original stock ROM, something went wrong obviousely so now i lost the ability to get into download mode.
if i press the power and volume down the phone just gets stuck in boot screen, i can get into the bootloader and recovery (not the TWRP) by pressing power and both volume buttons, bot from recovery I seem to fail flashing the ROM again, it fails on the signature check and even via ADB i cannot boot to download mode.
Any advice on how to get this issue sorted. i want to get the twrp or reinstall the rom again.
PS placing the rom.zip on the SD card is not doing anything as the phone bypasses that step automatically
thanks in advance

I cannot, when i pick download mode it goes straight into a boot loop and gets stuck on the HTC logo screen nothing else happens

push vol down vol up and power

Since the computer can talk to the phone, I would try the RUU executable.
(hard to help troubleshoot not knowing what you did but flashing "original stock ROM" via TWRP is a problem)
If you're getting a signature check fail, investigate that. What file are you flashing? How are you trying to flash it? Does downloading it again and comparing the two show any differences (if there isn't a hash to verify it)?

thanks for your comment,
I will try the RUU method tonight and see if that makes any difference.
I was flashing the Original Stock ROM, but i did that from SD card not TWRP, but during the flashing the phone rebooted multiple times and then i ended up with this issue. i am pretty sure I am trying to flash the same file, but will check the Hash just to be sure.
the issue the annoys me is that i cannot access the download mode, if i could then i will flash TWRP again and restore from backup images i have.

I want to say there's a condition where you have to flash twice but I'm not certain on that but it wouldn't hurt.
The signature fail is a concern; hence getting a new file. Are you exctracting 2PS6IMG.zip from the RUU via the decrypt tool? That's what I've always done to ensure I have the correct file and intact.

really appreciate you taking time to respond

Yeah, there's a lot that can go wrong there, like downloading the wrong one, the poster making a mistake, not to mention its an unknown source--especially since you're S-OFF.
Ensure you get the correct version from htc.

ok here is the latest development, wondering if anyone has any advise,
firstly extracting the file from the RUU and flashing it did not work. however i managed to find a little app called Windroid that allowed me to flash TWRP from the bootloader (without the need to go to download mode)
but I soon found out that the phone lost all its partitions. so i cannot wipe, format, install anything, but i can see a bunch of folders and filed via the TWRP file manager.
used ADB fdisk -lu I only see one single partition end was only able to remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.
any advice will be highly appreciated I am not sure how to proceed here
thanks in advance

If you're still in this trouble: -Search for your actual installed ROM (the firmware zip with a lot of other zips inside), deRUU it (search on google how to decompress a RUU) and flash via BOOTLOADER the hosd_signed.img image (this is "download" and "RUU" modes). You can boot to BOOTLOADER holding both volume buttons and power together (try more times if it wont boot).

thanks for the response, I want to try this method too, just wondering do you have any idea how to flash the file form bootloader, given i donot have fastboot, or more precisely fastboot would not see my device, but adb does. (but if I try to reboot to download/fastboot from adb the phone just goes to sleep)
thanks in advance

Flash in bootloader the hosd image for your actual firmware and you should be able to use fastboot/download
