Desire/Bravo bootloader/fastboot

I was wondering if anyone has already posted or knows about the bootloader/fastboot in the Desires?
Holding VolumeDown+Power enters the HBOOT mode :-
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Selecting FASTBOOT enters the FASTBOOT mode :-
FASTBOOT
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But what does RECOVERY/CLEAR STORAGE/SIMLOCK do?
And are there any other key combos?

recovery takes you into the recovery image (What you got to on the hero with Home + Power)
Simlock gives you the ability to modify the simlock status of the phone if you have the necessary software loaded on a card, or at least that's what it suggests from the text that comes up when you select it.

How long does the recovery take? I managed to seriously **** up my phone today. I got the message "com.htc.launcher has stopped working and needs to be shut down", or something like that.
I pressed the home, ok and back button at startup to enter the bootloader.

100% reset Desire 820

Hi,
Is there any way I can 100% reset my Desire 820? Locked bootloader, original firmware, reset everything? Can I send it in to HTC or do it manually? My phone says it has Android 6.0.1 update available but when I try to install the update it boots into bootloader and bootloader says, instead of "Fastboot", "!! Image Update FAIL !!".
It says the Software status is Modified and the Bootloader is relocked. Pressing "Reboot" boots back into Bootloader (in Fastboot), same with "Reboot Fastboot". Pressing "Factory Reset" does nothing; it boots back into Fastboot and doesn't actually reset. The only way to get it to launch is to take out the SD card, press "HBOOT", and then press "CHECK SMARTSD", which causes it to boot. The information at the top of my bootloader is as follows:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** RELOCKED ***

I used this tutorial to attempt to root my phone - however, I had unfortunately updated my phone to Android 5.0.1, and I think this is for a different variant of the Desire 820. Mine is the Australian Dual-Sim Desire 820.
I return to my original question - is there any way that I can reset this phone 100%? Currently, pressing Recovery does nothing - it puts it back into Fastboot, and pressing it again does nothing. This is with the SD card out. With the SD card in, it won't even launch into HBOOT; it gives me an error: "Device halted due to Large Image update failed! Press <POWER> to reboot.". Can someone help? I've been trying to fix this for months and months.

Large Image update failed! Press <POWER>.If you have modified recovery,you need to unlock the bootloader and install stock recovery then lock bootloader and flash the phone

Bricked One M9?

Hello,
I had CM 13 installed on my One M9. Yesterday I wanted to go back to stock ROM from HTC. I downloaded adb and fastboot and went to " fastboot oem lock" with cmd. This was part of a "tutorial" after this i wanted to run the RUU from HTC. But now the phone is stuck in the bootloader. I can go into bootloader or download mode but recovery mode is broken. "Failed to boot to revovery mode"....
From there I can only go back to bootloader or download mode.
In bootloader it shows:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** Relocked ***
*** S-ON***
In download mode it shows:
hTC download mode
*** RELOCKED ***

But the main problem is that i can't connect the M9 to my PC to use fastboot or the RUU... The phone will not be recognized. Strange thing is that it loads while connecting to PC but the LED is not orange, it stays black. When the phone is turned off the LED is turning on orange again and the phone is loading and shows it..
It seems that there is no OS installed anymore on the phone?
If it helps I have an SD card.
Please help me to get an OS running on this phone again!
Actual HTC drivers are installed. Tried on USB 3 and USB 2 Ports.

Hi,
I too I'm getting the same porblem as above.
*** Software status: Modified***
***Locked***
***S-ON*****
***Security Warning****
Then the only options are
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
The only option that works above is POWER DOWN.

I'm not sure if the hosd.img able to flash on s-on device but I can go to download mode again by flashing it

unbriking htc m9

hi, i bought htc m9 which is bricked, i don't know how previous owner bricked it. but when i turn it on, it shows
***relocked***
***s-on***
***security warning****
reboot
reboot to bootloader
boot to download mode
boot to recovery mode
power down.
when i try to enter recovery mode, it says
failed to enter recovery mode.

Can you boot to download mode? If yes, use the infos in the ReadMe thread for flashing a RUU. If not, send the phone to HTC. That's the dead nand issue in that case and only replacing the motherboard can fix it.

HTC Desire 728 not booting

Tried Booting into recovery and selecting "wipe data and factory reset" but still the same problem.
Tried to fastboot boot .. but it says unknown command. I searched the web and found that I must first unlock bootloader (see this link)
But however my device is locked and I cannot even boot it to enable "Developer Mode" and "Enable OEM Unlock" options from settings.
Can you suggest what to do?

Do you have any updates?
