It sounds like the HBOOT has been corrupted somehow. There is no way of fixing this yourself.
You will have to return it to HTC and see if they will fix it for you.
You could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
I had a similar problem when I first got my SLCD. I installed a different HBOOT which showed a blank screen all the time. This process might work for you.
Just as a matter of interest, what exactly did you flash before it bricked?

are you serious? i think there is a solution that is cant find, need some help
Like _thalamus said, if you could tell us what you did it could be easier to help you.
Did you flash an old clockworkmod recovery that was meant for the Amoled version ?
Did you try to S-Off your device ?

Deadly serious.
You get a bootloader error when trying to flash a RUU. This means that the computer can't talk to the bootloader.
You say it vibrates every time you click power and vol down, which suggests that the bootloader isn't initialising at all.
Can you please answer my question regarding what you flashed before it bricked?

Hi
I would like to know is it possible to do S-On and unroot Desire HD with not responding touchscreen? Without it i can't turn on USB Debugging to run Jokljo's tool (Easy Radio Tool v2.2) to go back to S-on. First time was unsuccesfull. I still have S-Off, SuperCid. Only ClockworkMod has been removed. Even original recovery hasn't restored. When I go there only an orange triangle with exclamation mark appears.
I have to go back to stock to give guarantee for.
I returned to stock Rom with CWM-nandroid restore. Before that I was trying other Roms but touchscreen still was dead. I think it is hardware issue. I don't know why. It occured after reboot because I had problem with GSM Network which turned alternately off and on.
Can anyone help?
Run a stock HTC RUU and it will restore everything except Radio S-OFF, (I wouldn't worry about that)

ohh dear... display r.i.p......
the only one thing that happens to me its go to recovery and go with te buttons to "mounts and storage" enable the "usb mount" option... copy and paste from your pc an official rom without root (look at for it in XDA files)...
when you flashes an official rom you loose the root access (sure)
for to go back to s-on you need the display... But with luck in the technical service they will not realize

But I don't have recovery at all. Easy radio tool removed Clockworkmod Recovery and didn't restore original. I have no recovery. That is the problem. Plus dead touchscreen...
I thought that is possible to revert to stock with adb shell. Somehow...
Download a RUU (ROM Update Utility) and run it from your PC, easy. You only need to plug in your phone and switch it on.

for use an adb shell you must to have a CWM rec. or put your device in usb debugging.
if there´s not another mode you can´t use android sdk
Ok I'will try ROM Update Utility. Many Thanks for now.

Update done by RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6 but bootloader still says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF.

the only thing that you can´t do WITHOUT working touch screen is S-ON.
now if you have unrooted and putted an official ruu i think that its sufficient for send the device to the thecnical service....

PD98IMG.zip won't run by adb without USB Debugging On. I don't know another way to do that

Should I try newest Rom? I.e RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3? What do U think?
There's nothing you can do about it now, since you need root for S-ON, and only way you can do it currently is with visionary tool(there's no way to gain root via your computer ATM, and probably it won't be developed), and you need your touchscreen for that... Install the RUU which your phone came with when you bought it, send it to tech service, and pray that they won't look/ignore that it's S-OFF...
Hello everyone!
Good to have you, please help.
DHD A9191 - lovely piece of alu cast
I searched this forum to get me into rooting, then running for 2 weeks Blackout 4.0.4.
Since I couldn't use Skype, and people did not understand me (voice meteallic), decided to switch back.
Loaded WWE RUU, did not worked, device urecognised...
Used Clockwork o load the backed up system.
One I had saved was 2.1, the one I needed to revert back to to be able to s-off or sthg.
Then I was able to run those RUU...
RUU finalised but with errors, red triangle, again reverted to 2.1
another RUU... apparently 2.3.5 went ok. boot. and...
I CANNOT USE TOUCHSCREEN ANYMORE
sorry, im close to tears.
I can boot to HBOOT 2.00.0027
System boot to this Sense3.0 Andro 2.3.5
but I cannot swing unlock ring.
please help.
What to load up now to make my touch screen work again?
It was old phone no guaranty.
I've got another Desire S, two other unformated sd cards... if this helps.
And you guys.
Tom.

If you're still S-OFF, I believe you just need to flash a custom recovery and then flash a stock ROM. You didn't need to unroot to go back to the stock ROM. Instructions on how to flash a custom recovery are in the "need help" link in my signature. Look in the PDF linked from post #7 there.

Now I see I ve found this PDF before but, there is not much about unrooting.
i understand you are trying to tell me to use this guide to flash stock rom with adb (or custom recovery)?
Will I be able to get OTA back. and get the original 2.3.5?
Im worring that touchsreen stopped working because some drivers (digitizer) had been wrong. How to make sure which rom is stock? WWE? but...
Oh.. got chest pain again.
I feel small and alone here, in this phone rooting bushiness I let myself in.

No, flash a custom recovery. Instructions for that start at the bottom of page 9 of the guide. Then download the stock 2.3.5 rooted and flash it normally from recovery.
RUUs are all stock. Digitizer is hardware. Don't worry about the drivers.
No i'm not that guy.
but im scared as sh**.
"before i mess up my phone" ...thats what Im afraid of.
...just noted Teichopsia had deleted his reply. Do not know why?
I hate to ask this, but do you now good original unbranded rom for DHD A9191?
driphter and shipped roms are down.
so first step is to get custom recovery
then upload stock img-zip
then install it with custom recovery?
what if this will not help on the touch screen problem?
I was trying to get help at similar forum, on a similar problem, but this ROM that fixed them did not helped me. Still no touch. Either from phone or that forum..

Fastboot is not the same as ADB. Instructions for flashing something with Fastboot are very clearly documented in the PDF that glevitan and I both told you to read. Unfortunately, I believe you lost S-OFF when you ran that RUU (since your HBOOT version changed), which means you lost Fastboot ability. You're now beyond my understanding; you're going to need to wait for glevitan to show up with his wisdom and hope that he can help you.

Actually attn1 (creator of the advanced ace hack lit) told me that changing HBOOT won't affect your radio partition as it's located somewhere else. So he should still be S-OFF if he had it.

Ok, here's the gist. Went to root a friends phone. Used AAHK as I had on mine. It needed to downgrade (as it had done previously with mine). After downgrading it wouldn't boot. Just hung on HTC boot screen. Waited 10+ mins...nothing. Tried a few times...nothing. I can get into Hboot using power/volume but have no idea what to do from here as I can't boot into a ROM so the laptop/aahk can see it. I've tried bootloader....nothing happens. Tried Factory reset...nothing happens...just goes back to HTC boot screen. Can any kind person help out a noob in distress here. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.:good:

You don't need to boot into a ROM to do stuff. You're fine as long as you can reach the bootloader. Read the Noob Starter Guide by Glevitan for more info. Find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30007264&postcount=2
---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------
If you need to know what you need to read.. You already have a downgraded hboot.. you need to S-OFF it and flash a custom recovery now. You can read on how to do that from the guide I mentioned.

Thanks for the response. I have quickly read through the guide but am slightly confused to say the least. I can't find how to get S-Off from here, other than through aahk. Bootloader does nothing when selected, and recovery just takes me back to the htc boot screen. I'm stuck here. Could you please point me to the right (next) step (S-off). I have read the guide, but it doesn't say how to do it from Hboot.
For example, the guide states this :-
Unlocking the bootloader with HTCDEV tool will allow you to flash CWM recovery and install
custom roms for ACE models and not ported roms, meaning that roms ported from other devices
such as Sensation or Sensation XL will not be successfully be flashed.
..which is all well and good. Ok, I have an unlocked bootloader so I can install CWM, but HOW?
Can you post the text appearing on top of your bootloader here?
Depending on that you might need to either flash a recovery or fix your bootloader.

Alright. You used AAHK right? Did you read the guide and follow all the steps? I'll suggest to use the "Fixing your messed bootloader" section of the guide I mentioned previously and then run the AAHK again.

I did the first few steps, (I've removed the links as it won't let me post them here) and got the file into C ok with the files from the hack kit. When I start ADB (via the Start Here command) and I type in the commands above, it says "Device not found". I have tried to follow the link that it states to read for people new to ADB, but it takes me to a massive page of links and I have no idea where to start. Thanks for your help up to now, it really is appreciated, and I fear I'm in above my neck here, and am now a walking advert for why people like me shouldn't go down this route. When I did my phone, it really wasn't a problem and the whole AADK process went fine. I have been flashing custom roms on my phone for months without a single problem, and it's only when my friend/colleague saw me running JellyTime 17.2 that he wanted it too. Now I fear I'm stuck!

Calm down. It's all solvable. And we can get it back working.
For adb to work you need to connect your device and let it go into bootloop (switch it on and let it stay as it is).
Once it goes into that state, try typing "adb devices" it should show a list of devices attached, you should see your phone in there. Once your phone is recognized, the adb commands should work.
Also, do you have HTC Sync installed?

Kicking myself for realising that HTC sync WAS installed. Have uninstalled, wiped drivers, and reinstalled drivers from here. Rebooted laptop. Still the same. Ok, my ADB console I type in adb devices and it says List of devices attached and just shows the same command prompt line underneath (i.e C:\Windows\system32> so I don't think it's seeing the device.
When you say "Let it go into bootloop", all I have have done is turned it on and it goes to the HTC screen, I hope this is right. Windows see's the phone ok. When I plug it in it sees it as "USB mass device installed". Is this the problem?

Did you enable USB Debugging on the stock ROM before you started AAHK? If not then thats the reason probably why ADB is not working right now.
Anyway, what I'll suggest you to do right now is to boot into the bootloader and run an RUU.
Get an appropriate RUU from here : http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Appropriate means your region, WWE is the worldwide edition and mostly safe for all devices. Download the RUU, connect your phone(in the bootloader mode) and run the .exe from the computer. Follow the on-screen instructions then. The phone should return to stock after the complete setup has run and you can try the AAHK again.
The other method is to unlock your bootloader via the HTCDEV method and flash a recovery and then flash a rooted ROM. The HTCDEV method is not good one for various reasons but it might prove easier.
Go to www.htcdev.com for using that method for bootloader unlock.

Yes, I had enabled USB debugging. I'll try the RUU trick and let you know how I get on. And thanks for your help.

No worries.
There might be also a way to S-OFF from the bootloader and fastboot and I think Glevitan might help you with that. But since he's not around at the moment and you're kinda worried I'll say the RUU way is the best option as of now.

Also.. this post here will help you with the HTCDEV method if you go for that.

I downloaded the RUU overnight as it took a few hours. I've just ran it and even though I selected the Orange UK one from that list, it started the process and then said it was the wrong RUU and to please download the correct one. I'm now downloading a WWE one to try. There's a few different ones so here's hoping!

It worked. Success! Installed that, ran AAHK again, and it ran through no problem this time. Installed JB (randomblames Jellytime), flashed the GAPPS and all is good. He now has a working phone. If I could buy you a drink then I would! Many many many thanks for your help and patience!

I'm glad I could help. And I appreciate the gesture but really.. no need to buy me a drink.. We're all here to help each other.
Cheers.
I need some help...
My friend gave me his HTC One M8... But the build he use on is not working and I cannot connect to Google Play store... So basically cannot do anything with the phone...
How could I either, try to install a new build... Or reset the phone to factory default...
I am use to follow clear steps ( Network Administrator here ) but I need help at least sending me in the proper direction.
Thanks
Is the phone s-off? Power phone off, and press power+volume down....then write what the bootloader says...

What is your provider ? Is it an AT&T, Tmobile, etc phone ?
---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------
I really could not tell you what to do with a device that is S-ON. When I first got my device the first thing I did was S-OFF, which makes it easier for me to fix my phone if something goes wrong, and also it's easier for me to fastboot flash different firmwares and change CID's/MID's. AFAIK, you can not do much with a phone that is S-ON other than gain root, but I could be wrong. There use to be two methods to gain S-OFF, but one method has been discontinued (firewater, or something like that is no longer used) and another method that cost $25, but I have forgotten the name of such method. With your phone currently not being operational, I have no idea if you would even be able to get your phone to a point to S-OFF. I do recall seeing that you said something about how you couldn't access Google, and not being able to do such pretty much makes the phone useless. Perhaps, if the phone turns on you could get onto a wifi connection and find that method ($25 S-off method), and you could gain S-Off from there. I just spent 10 minutes trying to find you some links, and maybe they will work for you....

I really need to know who your carrier is before I can assist you any further. Maybe Jball or redpoint will see this if they still even have M8's and direct you better than I can.

The phone is from Taiwan I think... It was ordered when we were living in Dubai...
I talked with a customer support of the US or UK (forgot) and he told me that the phone was from Taiwan...
Is there any codes or serial number that I can give you that would help you with that Answer?
That is beyond me, and I really have no idea how I could help...IT is in your best of interest to try and find redpoint83, and see if he will help you. He's got more knowledge on what to do with S-ON devices because I believe he's got a phone that hasnt been S-OFF. I am sorry that I am not much help, but I do not want to tell you one thing that will end up screwing your phone up.

By the way my phone works, but it's not able to communicate with Google Server (which is the only problem I know it's huge)... But other than that I can do everything I want with the phone... I'm actually using the Wifi sharing from that phone right now

In the thread that you linked me... They say I don't need to be S-OFF to do anything...
Further, s-off is not required to run an RUU (another common misconception, that I don't know where people get); unless you are trying to "break the rules" and either run an older RUU ("downgrade") or run another carrier's RUU.

You have a EU WWE device running a very old software version.
What you can do .. update to the latest with a RUU
RUU will wipe everything on your phone including internal storage so backup all your important files like photos, musics & etc to PC.
Download RUU 4.16.401.10 from here : http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode then relock bootloader with command
fastboot oem lock
Right click RUU and select run as administrator and follow the RUU instructions
To run a RUU .. you need USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed. If not sure, download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
install it as it will install the latest HTC USB driver then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the driver.

Alright... HTC Sync Manager installed, now downloading the RUU you gave me:
RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_release_417003_signed.exe
This one right?
Next step will be to relock the bootloader...
And just run the .exe as an administrator...
I'll come back in a few hours when I finish downloader the RUU

Installed HTC Sync Manager
Uninstalled I but kept the HTC Driver Installer
I ran fastboot oem locked
After I did that the phone only boots in fastboot.
I tried to run RUU but it seem to be running in an infinite loop... Stuck at "Verifying Information on your Android Phone. Please wait..."
Well you are a superhero!!!! Thanks for helping
Took me a while to figure out everything... How to do all the commands... Install what I needed find the conflicts on my computer with ADB but finally got everything to work 100%
Thanks a WHOLE freakin' lot
Great :good:
Before you unlock it again in case you feel like modding it further, do that OTA checking first.
There should be OTA to 4 .16.401.13
Settings -- about -- software update.

Done Thanks!!!
No Modding for me My friend screwed it up and he didn't know...
It some there is some version of Androids that are bugged and you can only register on the google 1 time (when he did it the first time) and when you wipe the phone you can't access the server anymore... Never found a solution and I'm not the one that modded it and my friend lives 6 hours away from my (by plane) hahahaha so there was no chance he can help me!!
Thanks a WHOOLLLLEEEEE Lot!!!
