[Q] bricked desire with alpharev bootloader

Hi guys, I'd like to revive my old htc desire witch is stuck in some kind of bricked state.
I tried all the tools like alpharev and RUU but no mater what I try I cant seem to flash anything properly.
Desire used to work very well with s-off and alpharev partitions until I give to my dad that tried to change something about it -_-
When I boot it up I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When plug it to my computer then unplug it I get this:
When I try to reflash a sense rom using RUU I get this error:
Thanks in advance guys, I'm almost desperate

Use bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of q&a
This problem has been asked and solved many times
Can't see the picture too clearly from my phone, I believe you are on a custom hboot so have to flash downgrader, then flash stock hboot before you flash ruu. The ruu won't fit inside a small system partition so it fails hence the error message

Thanks a lot. Indeed, I had to flash "Bravo Downgrader" from alpharev then use RUU.

[Q] Fully bricked usb - how to s-off?

I am trying to resuscitate an old HTC Desire. Here is where it stands now:
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-on
hboot 0.83.0001
Radio 5.17.05.23
CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.3 (which works perfectly- I also have adb over network activated, and it says: 192.168.1.111:5555)
USB is fully bricked - I can't charge it anymore via the usb-port (but I have a recharger); and also can't get usb-access - and I've tried everything that has been suggested here and elsewhere to unbrick it, but it really is dead)
Can somebody please tell me how I can get adb-over-network to work and whether I could get S-OFF that way? When I try connecting, I CAN ping the phone, but I seem unable to connect, as shown here

I have tried with 30' inrtervals, but it never connects. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Just documenting my own process. I created a goldcard and was able to get back to running an official 2.1 Éclair ROM with PB99IMG.zip. So I now have the following:
SO I guess next step would normally be to upgrade the RUU (e.g. to the 2.2 Froyo RUU), but all the instructions I find use usb. So I'm trying to figure this one out now - still VERY open to any suggestions.

I got there too. Following the instructions in the troubleshooting guide, I was able to get completely back to stock and to re-root again (with the help of Visionary and su). But the the guide recommends to also S-OFF. But I see no section on how to s-off without usb (like the section on root without usb). Could somebody please put me on the right track? Much appreciated.

[Q] Anyone online to help me with a semi-bricked Z?

Hello!
I have an HTC Desire Z stuck in bootloop.
It's an unrooted, S-ON version.
I have tried the PC10IMG.ZIP via SD card route to no avail - don't know if that's because I couldn't find the right RUU. It seemed to get stuck at user data deletion.
I've now downloaded ADB and fastboot and managed to get the device recognised, but I have no idea how to go on. (All very new to me!) I am also having difficulties finding the right RUU/ROM for this. I *think* I found it on htcdev.com as 2.42.405.4, although it's in a tar.gz extension that I am not sure how to extract.
Another issue is that occasionally whilst in fastboot the phone seems to time out / switch off for no particular reason. It shouldn't be a battery issue but I am letting it charge for a bit just in case.

Anyone has any idea of how to progress? Would reeeeally appreciate it!

Erratic progress from yesterday:
* Have managed to extract the folder from HTCdev, but I don't see anything I immediately recognise as a ROM and therefore I am still stuck
* Would be happy attempting some of the recovery modes, but I don't understand if they work on S-ON, and if not if there is a way to bring the phone to S-OFF via adb or fastboot. And a hand-hold on selecting a recovery would be LURVLY.
Apolz for being such a noob, but considering I didn't even know what "rooted" meant yesterday, I feel emboldened

Next, I tried this system: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572924
I get an error "Can't open /cache/recovery/command" - this is actually an error I have been getting very often
I tried manufacturing the folder and leaving it empty but it didn't make an iota of difference.
When I run the update I get an "Invalid operation" message and then it just reboots (i.e. gets stuck on HTC logo)

Help Restoring a HTC One M9 T-Mobile US back to stock [SOLVED]

[SOLVED]
Let me just say I've exhausted everything on trying to figure this out. I've spent the past 2 days pouring over searches, downloading files, flashing, etc. But now I'm out of time. I need my phone to take calls, text messages, and for my GPS.
I have an HTC One M9 from T-Mobile US. Model: OPJA120
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the latest TWRP on it, and flashed Cyanogenmod 13 nightly for himaul.
It booted up but the Baseband said "Unknown" and it could not connect to the cell network.
I've tried flashing radios, different ROMs, TWRPs and then the ROMs.
The RUU .EXEs won't flash anything to the phone with error 155 (I think).
My download mode say these specs:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
htc_himaul PVT S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
RADIO-01.01.U11440801_97.04.60111G_F
OpenDSP-15.6.1.00522.8994_1026
OS-3.39.531.7

A lot of guides reference this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022
But every file is gone now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

I somehow managed to find the right RUU executable and the steps needed for it to work right. My phone is now stock again.
For future people, it's this file:

Download mode (VOL DWN + POWER), restore stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock), Boot into RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU), run executable

Htc one m8s won't boot up after relocking bootloader

So my friend used a all in 1 toolkit to root his phone but failed when it came to booting into recovery to install su after that he can't boot into recovery, can't factory reset his phone and when he wants to turn his phone on after it has switched off he needs to hold down power+vol up and down as when the batterie is flat the charging icon pops up with the yellow bolt of electricity and the orange light, when this happens the phone is frozen on that screen but he can turn it on.
Just yesterday he saw a tutorial on how to relock his bootloader and start fresh so he can try again to root his phone but now his phone can't even boot it's stuck on the HTC powered by android screen with same issues as b4

That's your biggest mistake ... all in 1 toolkit
There is no such tool that would work on your M8s device.
You need different fastboot not the generic, you need different TWRP (that is made for M8s) and you need the updated SuperSU not the one provided by that old TWRP version that you have in that outdated toolkit.

Again ... you can't simply use any RUU .,.. the one for M8 won't work on M8s.
The RUU that works on your M8s is 0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1 _Radio_1.0.U20410.1 @ 60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed.zip
