Need help!!! :(

Mine phone is supposedly dead, it powers off automatically when it gets to the actual home screen or whatever. But it powers on fine and I can get to the bootloader. However I cannot get to recovery, when I try to reboot from bootloader to recovery I see the recovery screen for a split second before it reboots on it's own. I powered it off and left it on the charger overnight (did not show a led light like it was charging) and woke up and it still shows as being dead at the rom screen. I can get fastboot/adb to recognize it and I've tried reflashing recovery several times, Paul's and doom's. Anybody know anything I could try. I know my firmware version was 1.19 something before I rooted but there's no RUU for that. Thanks in advance!!

Trying to flash a stock RUU and I get an error saying no USB connected everytime.

Are you trying to run the RUU when in the bootloader? If not, try it

Thanks for the help but I have no way of accessing the virtual sd since recovery doesn't currently support it. :\

Damm!!
I would pm Mike1986 and ask him. If someone knows then him.
Good luck!

Have you tried pushing the stock recovery back to the device then running the ruu? I don't see why that wouldn't work.

That sucks.. Maybe everyone should keep their respective stock image on their internal storage at all times for such circumstances..

Ok well I've gotten my phone charged enough to flash an RUU and it's being recognized through the USB by RUU's but I can't seem to find the correct RUU. I have an international unlocked white version and here's my phone information I've gathered so far:
CID: NONE
MID: PJ4610000
Current Version: 1.19.707.1
If anyone can point me in the direction of the correct RUU I'll be forever grateful!

You need one with 707 in it

[Q] Possible brick, and not sure what to do. HELP

Introduction:
Alright, so I decided to make a whole new thread for this since it's kind of an unique situation.
Got my old man a One V for Christmas, and he loved it, then wanted me to root it. Having just rooted my HTC incredible S, I took the job.
We came across this all-in-one rootkit, thanks to the guy who made it by the way.
I can't post the link here, but the thread is called
[TOOL] HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [12-23-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof
It was pretty nerve racking, but we managed to get through it. We did not flash any kernels, no roms, etc. Just basically followed the basic step by step video. We were using the TWRP Recovery GSM version. Everything was going smoothly...
Until the "Perm Root" step...
When it came time to actually root it and put on Superuser, he noticed that it said on the One V's screen that doing this may cause damage to your phone/brick it. Then he basically said, "nah man, I changed my mind. the phone might get messed. let's just stop it."
We stopped it and it didn't cross our minds for weeks.
So as of then, the HTC One V is as follows:
- ***Unlocked*** bootloader
- Has TWRP 2.3.3.0 GSM on it (correctly done, the phone is GSM)
- NOT rooted
The Problem
My dad was then using it just last night, connected to Wi-Fi and he installed an update on accident. It was like a 40mb update file. Now, the phone doesn't seem to want to boot into Android. I don't know if it's a bootloop or what.
Basically it's just the white HTC screen that says "quietly brilliant". There's no extra red text or anything. It just stays on this screen.
However, I'm still able to reach the bootloader, so I tried a factory reset. I wiped the cache, then did a factory reset through TWRP. Again, after hitting "Reboot System Now" it just goes back and stays on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
What do I do? He really enjoyed using this phone and we don't want it to be a waste.
One more thing: we did not back anything up. No nandroid, nothing.:crying:
please XDA forums, this is my first post. I need your help.

Check what your device CID is and there may be a RUU for your device to restore everything back to normal.
What you need to do once you have the RUU
a- in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
b- still in fastboot mode - run the RUU, it will restore all the recovery, boot, system back to stock.

Download the correct ruu go to boot loader then recovery and flash it and boom your back to stock

Let's worry about the first part... checking CID number.
Are you familiar with fastboot files and fastboot command ?
Put you device in bootloader, fastboot mode.
Run this fastboot command - fastboot oem readcid
Example: HTC__044 is my device CID number
Code:
C:\Users\ckpv5\Desktop\fastboot>fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) cid: HTC__044
OKAY [ 0.005s]

As you managed to unlock the bootloader, I guess you have the right driver installed to your PC.
As you said you can go to bootloader, so I guess you know how to get there again.
Go to bootloader, when you see hboot on it, press power once to go to fastboot (you will see the word fastboot on it highlighted n red).
Download the attached simple script that I made for you, extract it to your PC desktop.
Connect your phone to PC, now you should see the word fastboot change to fastboot usb (still highlighted in red).
Open the CID_checker folder, run the CID_checker.bat and let us know the CID written there.
Then we will see whether there is available RUU for your device or not.

Any ideas, man?
Could it be because of the custom recovery TWRP that is installed on the phone?

Check whether you run this on fastboot mode not hboot mode, is the word fastboot usb shown on bootloader before you run the script ?

It looks ok, not sure why you get error when running the script.
A long way...
Go to recovery, then backup - swipe to backup
After complete, go to mount - mount usb storage - copy the twrp backup to pc.
Open the backup folder, open the system backup with 7-zip, extract the build.prop and post it here
Gotta go now, will check your progress in 2 hours

I'm sorry that this is getting so annoying. I hope you aren't annoyed.
I went to back up the files, and when I tried to mount USB storage, it told me that the drivers failed to install. I proceeded to back up to the sd card, take the sd card out and put it in my PC. So therefore I could not, at least I don't think, copy the TWRP backup to the PC, unless it's on the SD card somewhere.
You say to open the backup folder and then the system backup? I need you to please tell me the exact directory because I do not know where to look.

I do not know what the system backup file is. Is it the nandroid backup? Because I tried to open the nandroid backup with 7-zip and it said that it could not open it as an archive.

Just recall that someone else before also had error running the command fastboot oem readcid but it was successful to run command fastboot getvar cid. Attached here the updated CID-checker.bat; please retry.. run it when you connect your device to PC in fastboot usb mode

Here is the step:
After you download the RUU (either one but the latest version is better).
Make sure you have more that 70% battery (you can check your battery level in TWRP) before you proceed.
1. Download the attached relock script, extract to desktop, connect device in fastboot usb mode, run the relock_bootloader.bat
2. Still in fastboot usb - run/double click the RUU (with administrator right), follow the updater instructions - next-next-update-update-blablabla until it finish.
3. You are done.

Alright man I'm downloading it now. Do you think you could tell me why the phone chose to get screwed up? I guess my question is how does having an unlocked bootloader + TWRP + not rooting + update = messed up phone?

Because to update an OTA, you need a stock recovery, not TWRP.
It is ok when the bootloader unlocked but must have stock recovery.
But to run RUU, you need the bootloader relocked, no need stock recovery as the RUU will replace that.
You can read more on how to do OTA update here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705484

[Q] Fastboot Commands On Phone Startup

I have a HTC Desire HD that I have tried recently to S-off and root, plus install a custom ROM. I downgraded it to 2.3 before using the AAHK to try and root it. I ran the program waited for it to finish (well at least it looked like it had finished) and a got presented with a black screen with the HTC logo in the middle and 4 warning triangles, one at each corner.
If I try all the button combinations to get into recovery mode, fastboot mode etc. nothing happens. If I connect it to my PC and run 'adb devices' It shows none. I thought my phone was completely and utterly broken until I tried, 'fastboot boot boot.img', the boot image was the one I had extracted from the custom ROM I wanted to install and it loaded, no problem, It was as if I had installed it on my phone because it ran fine.
That until I rebooted my phone, it went back to the black screen
I sent the 'fastboot boot boot.img' command back to my phone and presto, it works! All my data is stored it was as if nothing had happened.
Now, I know that if my phone powers off and goes back on It will stay on that black screen until I send the command from the computer, which is a pain, but it works.
Is there a way to:
A) Fix it so it goes to my ROM every time instead of black screen?
B) Run the fastboot command automatically on the phone at startup .e.g IF THE CODE WAS IN ESSENCE: "boot to black screen" we could change it to "boot to boot.img from SD card"?
P.S I can also boot the recovery.img from fastboot in the same way as I did with the boot.img so the screen changes to CWM:good:

Your phone is booting in RUU mode.So probably the only solution for you should be to flash the right RUU for your device.As long as you are S-OFF you can flash any RUU you like.(You just need the right RUU for your CID or to give your device SuperCID).
While you are in RUU mode screen give the command fastboot getvar all and copy-paste everything it prints here (except from your imei number and your device serial number.)

You can find an RUU for your device here.
You can download the latest european RUU from here.
About your first question we need those informations to tell you what would the better solution for your device according those informations.
(For example hboot version, CID number, MID number, S-ON/S-OFF state.Even version-main number would probably help us to find what RUU you had installed and if exists a better solution for you instead of flashing the latest RUU or the same one)

Of course not!An RUU will flash the factory ROM in your phone.But you can always take a nandroid backup of your custom rom using your custom recovery and recover it after the correct flash of an RUU.You have to relock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock when you are in bootloader in order to flash the RUU of your choice.
After the flash you have to unlock your bootloader again with htc_dev and flash the recovery of you choice.(If you are S-OFFed you don't need to unlock your bootloader again.Just flash a recovery from RUU mode).As long as you have a custom recovery you can restore a previous nandroid backup or to make a fresh install the rom of your choice.(I suggest you to make a fresh install of your rom instead of restoring a nandroid backup).
If you want to restore specific apps or data from a nandroid backup you can use for example titanium backup.I would also suggest you to make a backup of our contacts (extract from your default app) before you make the nandroid.

1. Lock Bootloader
2. Flash RRU (Command?)
3. Reflash ROM (Proper way?)
Else:
1. Lock bootloader
2. flash RRU
3. Unlock with htc-dev
4. Reflash
^ Is this right? And how do I flash the ROM properly so I don't have this problem again
Thanks

So I need to check if my phone is s-offed and if it is do I just leave the boot loader as it is or lock it still?

By relocking your bootloader you won't make it S-ON.(Have you succeded S-OFF?)
You have just to relock your bootloader only for htc_dev way.
Instead of ***Unlocked*** in the top of your bootloader you should be able to see after the lock ***Relocked***.After you flash an RUU it should say ***Locked***.But as long as you are S-OFFed the S-OFF remains.
If you give us the print of the command fastboot getvar all we could help you further.

From what I gather my phone is s-off, I've tried to re flash with fastboot flash recovery boot.img
P.S This it the screen I get

First of all, The Command fastboot flash recovery boot.img isnt going to work. Its a bad command.
What that command means is.. You are telling fastboot to flash a kernel into the recovery partition. Which is wrong.
What you should do is search for a recovery like 4ext recovery for the DHD from here(that was my favourite recovery),
If the above link doesnt open, try using this one(Its CWM.)
flash it using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After its done enter this command
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
which should reboot into the bootloader.
From there use the volume buttons to navigate your way recovery and press the power key.
You should be in the 4ext recovery screen.
From there you can flash any rom you want.
I would recommend SVHD rom as it was stable and also my favourite.
Or
You could make a recovery which can be flashed through bootloader.
Here are the steps
Download the recovery i posted a few lines up.
create a text file and name it android-info.txt
Open the file
Now copy these into it.
Code:
modelid: PD9810000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__032
mainver: 2.50.405.2
hbootpreupdate:12
Now save it and close that file.
Next highlight recovery.img,android-info.txt and use your favourite compressing software to compress those two files into a zip file. DOnt change the compression settings, use the default ones.(You could use winrar)
Now rename the compressed file to PD98IMG.zip and copy it onto ur sdcard and reboot your device into bootloader.
It would scan for factory files.
Ones it detect the file, press the volume up key for it to flash it.
Once its done, you reboot into recovery.
If you find any difficulties, feel free to ask.

S-OFF sunshine & cyanogenmod

Ok guys i'm in a real problem!
I cannot make or receive phone calls for one week... it all started when I got bored with the original OS of the HTC One M9, so I rooted the phone and installed CM13 following some tutorial on the internet (its the first time I root and install a custom rom in my life).. when I finished, I was verry happy until I discovered that I cannot make or receive calls, I searched for solutions, and I tried them (installing gapps, uninstalling capps, set phone app as default app...) but none of them worked. So I installed slim roms hoping that this can be the solution, but the same problem is stilling. I installed then android revolution HD and the problem disappeared, it was not solved, it disappeared because this rom didn't event boot. I reinstalled cyanogemod in order to use my phone for things in which it stills usable, and decided to return to the stock rom (the boring one). I found a good tutorial in droidviews.com, in which he said that in order to successfully install it i have to:
- Download the right ruu.
- Change the cid and the mid.
For the ruu file I found the zip file for the same version used in the tutorial (1.32.401.8).
Now when I try to change the cid using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
It says:
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.006s
After googling it, the problem seems to be caused by 'S-ON', so I have to 'S-OFF' the phone. I downloaded sunshine and run it but the app shows an error saying:
SunShine encountered problems with your rom. Please flash a stock, or more near stock rom and try again

I'm really confused.
To install a stock rom i have to change cid.
To change cid i have to S-OFF the phone.
To S-OFF the phone i have to install a stock rom.

You don't need S-OFF to install a RUU unless you're trying to apply a RUU that doesn't match your phone CID & MID. In that case, you would need to achieve S-OFF and then change your CID.
However, odds are fairly good that there is a RUU for your phone. You'll need to 1) find out your CID & MID (instructions below), 2) look it up on the SKU-, CID- and MID-List by Sneakyghost and Behold_this (link below), 3) find the matching RUU in Flippy498's Google Sheet (link below), and then follow the instructions in that same sheet to install the RUU.

c. Connect your phone to your PC
d. Open a command prompt window
e. Navigate to the ADB tools folder, typically C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync
- assuming the path is correct, you can cut & paste this command into your terminal: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync
f. Execute the following command in a terminal (command prompt): fastboot getvar all
g. Copy the lines that mention product, version-main, mid, and cid.

Thanks man!
All that I was missing is this command: fastboot getvar all
I was using readcid that returns nothing

Wonderful! I'm glad to be able to help - that's what XDA is all about.

RUU won't flash via TWRP.
You need to place the file on the root of your external SD card and rename it 2PQ9IMG.
Unless the RUU is an exe?

You've got the wrong file name in your post. It should be '0PJAIMG.zip'
For step by step instructions, the best guide is Flippy498's Google sheet (link above) in the RUU section.

Dude, read the posts above, I got the name wrong, that's for the HTC 10, yours should be 0PJAIMG.zip
Apologies on my behalf for getting that wrong.
Once it's named correctly, go in to download mode and the file will be recognized, follow the instructions on your phone from then on.

in download mode it says:

From flippys thread.....
Be aware that you need an external SD card for your phone that is not bigger than 32 gb.
(The size limit doesn't apply to phones with firmware version 3.x or higher.)
01. Download the correct RUU.zip for your phone.
02. Rename the file to "0PJAIMG.zip".
03. Copy the file to the root directory of a SD card which is formatted to fat32. (If you're on firmware version 3.x or higher you can use an exfat formatted SD card, too.) Sometimes this is only possible if the SD card is directly connected to your PC and not put into your phone. I don't know why some M9s refuse the copy process.
04. Put the card into your phone and boot to Download Mode.
05. You will be asked whether you want to flash the file. Confirm with the volume up button.
06. Your phone will reboot at least one time. Depending on your current firmware version it may reboot to Android instead of rebooting to Download Mode. If this happens you just need to shut your phone down and manually boot it to Download Mode.
07. Flashing may take some time.
08. At the end you will be asked to push the power button. You phone will shut down if you do so.
09. Wait some seconds and then turn your phone on, again.
10. First boot may take a while.
11. Congrats! Your system is now stock and able to receive and install official OTAs, again.

I don't think it would have hurt a thing beyond adding a little frustration for the OP. On the upside, I learned something new about HTC RUU versions!

I did all that and everything went good. But when I boot the phone it always opens the bootloader mode.
