An old brick

I have a bricked incredible that I've held onto for months now to c if somthing would come up to fix my problem. Bricked flashing to boost, s-on no recovery and can't boot. I can boot into hboot/fastboot. Bricked it while I was on 2.2...ruu to 2.3...ruu agn so could unlock bootloader and did so. My problem is not with the Rom... Is there somthing I can flash via fastboot with unlocked bootloader that could possibly fix my brick? I've had this brick since September I believe, irks the **** out of me every time I try to play with it...lol. o also was thinking about sending it to HTC, does anyone have any insight on sending a perfect condition inc in for software repair? U know prices n Wat not.....

You could try fastboot flashing the misc partition or an nv image, and then try ruuing to stock froyo. If you are htc dev unlocked, you should be able to flash cwm recovery also, and mabey be able to do something from there. It may be worth trying this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
As for sending it to htc i have no clue.

[Q] Original ROM error

On my HTC HD I have a custom ROM and ROOT. I wanted unroot. Im flash RUU original ROM (.zip) but Im flash US and I have europe device. Im flash US rom occurred error - reboot phone. Now, my device I turn after several times the switching on and remove the batteries. I don´t can get in bootloader!!! Install RUU ROM (.exe) my computer write error. Please help I want Unroot and original ROM.
Sorry for my bad English Im from Slovakia.

I recommend you to use the aahk to revert to stock. Put the stock to germany because at that ruu the ota update works . It's with sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5:good:

Original ROM error
Please manual or video. Thank you very much.

Chovky, if your phone is not booting and u don't have at least fastboot, you won't be able to flash a RUU...the question is, is not booting at all or is very slow and u are stuck in the splash screen?

Original ROM error
Phone can be turned on, but cannot go to Bootloader. I tried to install .exe RUU (WWE)through PC but write error (exe RUU from the site -shipped-roms).
error 155: Update menory error

Original ROM error
Please AAHK write: Imput PASS KEY and press ENTER
What is pass please ???

You find the passcode in the effen manual :thumbup:
And it generates a new passcode every time you start it.

AAHK wants to restart the phone, but phone can not reboot

Why can't your phone reboot?

Don't turn on

If you cant turn on the phone then try to connect your charger before trying to start. And if it doesn't start then I'm afraid you bricked and need to send in the phone to HTC or buy a riff tag box (don't know if the spelling is right).

Chovky, all what u are describing is in the effen manual. Take some time to read for comprehension. If you keep trying things you might mess the phone to no turning back issue.
If your phone boots to a black screen, then just fix your pc and re run the Kit from that screen. That is in the Manual....:good:

Did OTA brocked my htc one x?

here's the situation
i have recently bought refurbished htc one x
i wanted to update it with offical jelly bean update it showed me
th update downloaded and i proceed to install it, i was a long time on the installing icon so i left my phone, when i got back it wouldnt turn on like the batery was empty
before doing the update it showed around 50% so i wasnt thinking about it, but it seems i died during the update
now - i cannot turn my phone on, its stuck on htc logo, i can access bootloader mode, it says i have hboot 1,12
radio 5.1204.162,29
the bootloader is locked
could someone tell me in simple steps how to bring it alive? is it even possible?

I havent flashed my one x in a while, but try charge it as much as you can while in recovery or bootloader mode.
Then try unlocking the bootloader using htcdev and Hasoons all in one toolkit from the dev section.
That will help you get a custom recovery installed and allow you to reinstall another firmware.
Not sure how much you already know so I apologise if this is basic info haha.
Also dont forget to flash the boot.img if you go with a custom rom
Good luck

Return it for repair if you can. Unlocking bootloader is the hard way out if you ask me.

A ruu might be a way out, but it's a long shot because the ruu doesn't need a unlocked bootloader.

Try this first.
I completely forgot about RUUs. You need to get the one that matches your CID

Sending it for repair isnt really an option as i bought the device and now im leaving the uk.
so they would send it back to me as ill be in another country.
also i opened it as i had the anthena problem but i solved it.
software speaking, as that is the problem, is it harf to fix?
i had couple of androids and customized all of them, but im new to htc and all that ruu,cids...
i dont mind custom rom, right now i just want to recover any functionality.
So if the ruu is the easiest way out is there a newbie tutorial? as i cant find it
and is unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery ans rom is so complicated to other devices?
i dont.know.what do you nean by flashing boot.img while flashing rom

When you run an ruu the computer end of it walks you through what to do. Make sure you have latest version of htc sync installed and do exactly what it says. Also returning it is the best option under normal circumstances. I did exactly that when ota wrecked my shift

[Q] Stuck at HTC logo...

Tried to go from S-ON to S-OFF but it failed while updating phone with firmware.zip. Cmd said it was done but phone showed no activity. Rebooted phone and its stuck at HTC logo. Found a way to boot to bootloader but instead of going straight to recovery to restore what I had, I first re unlocked bootloader. Now im stuck at HTC logo with no way to get to bootloader (volume down key not working). Im not a complete noob, just new to this phone. Have tried to use adb to boot into bootloader and recovery but it is not being found by my pc. Is there any way of forcing phone into bootloader? I would appreciate any help given
EDIT : FIXED

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039 used this manual guide but once I flashed the firmware.zip it did not complete. so i rebooted and then unlocked bootloader hoping that i could carry on with the error. turns out firmware.zip actually didn't get pushed to the phone completely and i'm not at S-OFF and phone wont boot

What model go you have?
You might want to try and regenerate your unlock key, relock your phone, verify it works without a issue, reunlock, then flash custom recovery again

Ok i understood it. The thing is that in order to flash stock rom we need:
1.RUU.exe for htc desire 816 dual sim india[Not available]
2. Stock Rom [Available]
3. Stock recovery[Available]
4. Fastboot commands like
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash recovery (recoveryname).img
[Ok this is also available]
Since the stock RUU is not available there is no way in which you can revert back to stock.
So I went to hTc service centre they told me that they cannot help me since my device is *TAMPERED*. They told me the only solution is to change the motherboard which will give you stock.
Even i mailed hTc about the problem they told me that reverting back to stock is not possible("Officially".coz they havent released the ruu for us. Actually its possible if you have ruu. But they wont give u ruu.).
They told the same reason that my device is tampered.
SOLUTION:
What i did:
Unlocked my bootloader by following steps on hTC dev site
Flashed TWRP by followings steps on twrp site for a5
(Luckily i had cm12 )So it booted into system.
But if you dont have any rom, then flash it thru recovry.
SO BASICALLY WE ARE STUCK ON CUSTOM ROM, UNTILL THEY RELEASE RUU.

this is bull****; they can and they will fix your device even if it's tampered. they do have all the required files, no motherboard change is needed. you'll just have to assure them that it's your responsibility, and that you'll pay the cost. If you can 't come to an agreement with your local hTC care, try another one. try writing to hTC support and/or customer experience/social media. explain your problem to them, they will come around. even if they don't at last, there are third party service shops that have the required files and can fix your phone(atleast where I live). I've heard that some even do it over the internet for you
cost of mobo change is usually 1/2 to 2/3 of the price of the device

This is the reply I got from a chat session with a HTC service guy. "In regards to your query, we would like to inform you that HTC does not recommend our customers to convert or root the device as doing so voids the warranty of the device and also it may cause hardware to malfunction. We do not provide support for rooting and unlocking the bootloader." "I would like to inform you that we cannot help you with the RUU file ." When I asked the reason for not releasing the RUU the guy just ended the chat session!

I'd say try again, over and over. I've had similar replies but if you're persistent , you're gonna find the right person, or the right way. this mobo change is stupid, and you should find someone who understands that
