[Q] Big problem with Evo!

Okay so yesterday I accidentally downloaded an old RUU and attempted to run it. I got an error in the middle of it and my phone was then stuck on a silver and black HTC screen. When I unplugged the USB it would take me to the Bootloader where it would then only say "RUU". Phone won't reboot or go into recovery. And one more small problem... The battery just died and wont charge. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

can I use " Okay so yesterday I accidentally downloaded an old RUU and attempted to run it." in my sig???
btw what hboot did you have before and what version ruu did you try and install?

Yes lmao.
Version 2.10, downloaded new one but having trouble doing it since battery died and not sure the phone will actually connect.

charge the battery some and see if the phone turns on, see if it will boot into recovery/rom etc

Ok, will try to charge battery, but from what i've tried, could not get in to recovery or get the bootloader to come up.

if you can not get anything on the screen and the phone won't mount the sdcard and adb won't connect, be prepared for a drive to the sprint store

Lmao, about the sig comment
Sent via the Slayer of "ALL" phones the Evo 4g.

Hahahaha ^^^ Anyways new info did get the phone to get a charge. But now cannot get it to connect to computer.

I've actually came across this on the HTC Hero CDMA. i accidentally installed the wrong hero rom, cause at the time i was a noob to the android. an i tried to ruu but it failed. i kept doing all i could and playing with it. but where u ruu got half way through. and debug mode/recovery is reset by half way through.
only thing you can do is try to get into Hboot mode and try to see if u can connect to usb that way. then try to ruu

what does the phone do when you turn it on normal?
will it boot into bootloader?
do you have android sdk on your computer?

Just go's back to the "Silver and black HTC screen" and if I pull the USB (when in my computer) It will show me an option in the bootloader thats says RUU thats it. Can't do anything from there.

If you can get into the bootloader your going to be just fine. Use the fastboot option in the bootloader to get your phone to connect to your computer, I have done this numerous times to unroot! You might have to reboot your computer just to refresh the connection etc and also reboot the bootloader a few times from that fastboot menu before running the RUU on the computer.

Does not give me fastboot option. Like I said can't do anything from there.

So you can get into bootloader but it doesn't give you a fastboot option?

Yeah. It only says RUU that is the only thing in the bootloader. But it does give me info on my Hboot version and stuff.

Okay, you have to get into the fastboot option and then run the RUU. Sorry I am having some trouble understanding because you are being a little vague. But to get into fastboot it has to be done before you run the RUU.

Don't worry about it. Anyways. I cannot get into bootloader at all unless I unplug the USB.

So maybe your SD card is mounted or is the RUU running on your computer as we speak?

Don't think RUU is running but should I try pulling the SD?

No you shouldnt need to pull the SD. But I would try rebooting your computer and maybe your phone and get into the bootloader without it connected to your computer. Then connect it and go into fastboot and try what i described earlier.

Ok normally turn off mobile and push the vol up or down for fastboot or flashmode respectively and push the usb, and work.
In other case i use power + vol down or vol up and later push the usb. Both works

Gnex died completely.

OK i need serious help here.
I got Galaxy Nexus GSM , with broken volume keys (Hardware problem-cannot be fixed.)
So i cant get into download mode or fastboot mode you see..
Now, when i turn up the phone its get stuck on the GOOGLE logo with the Unlcoked Bootloader sign on the bottom.
At the computer at this stage its says ADB connected but "adb unauthorized". On Windows 7 the driver is "samsung mobile mtp device-FAILED".
So ... I cant use Odin, i cant use Fastboot, i cant use ADB .. i cant use any toolkit...
I need any suggestion on how make this phone up again, with or without full reset .. i dont care you know ..
Thank you !

The only fix for me is getting USB JIG and flash with ODIN ?

[Q] Please help me. [HTC ONE V]

I own a HTC One V. And I did something at the TWRP menu like installing this CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20131022-1552-primoc thing.. and ever since then the phone doesn't boot.. it won't even go to that menu where it says FASTBOOT{ I think it's called the recovery menu :3 }
But, I charge it.. And then I plug it into the comp, it just connects and disconnects, like it's giving a faint indicator of life :3
Please help. I was on Ignorance V5..

Installing a rom can't hard brick your device.
Try to shut it down by holding the power button and immediately press vol down + power to enter your bootloader. Then you can select recovery and install a backup of your ignorance rom or do whatever you want.
BTW: It looks like you forgot to install the kernel for the custom rom.

Most likely you flashed the wrong ROM.
PrimoU <> PrimoC
Boot loader should still work as expected I guess:
<vol.down>+<power> should get you to the hboot menu.

Did you try fastboot command to reboot into bootloader?
The command might be accepted by phone during it's initial loading stage:
* connect phone to a computer
* run command (e.g. fastboot reboot-bootloader), must be waiting for response from device
* reboot your phone
* if you are lucky enough the command will be accepted on load.

This command has to be run on a computer.
Similar as you are running fastboot commands to root phone or install custom recovery.
Please google if you are not familiar with fastboot commands at all.
Make sure you have installed proper phone usb drivers to make your phone "visible" from computer.
Btw how did you get running Ignorance?

You can download HTC drivers from almost any other hOV thread.
Like this one in example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996665
Basic Requirements. 4th item.
Remember, all you need to try with this tool is to reboot into bootloader. Try to click the tool button while your phone is starting to load.
By the way, you may find fastboot files in that thread as well (Basic Requirements. 5th item).

Yes, I have the HTC Sync installed which gives the necessary drivers for the recognition of HTC phones.. ( My ONE V)
But, the computer just sounds that music when a USB device is connected, the phone is dead. Not even lighting up..
The WinDroid isn't recognizing my device as well..

The computer should not recognize your phone because it is not loaded completely (neither os, neither recovery).
But it might be recognized for a few seconds only while trying to load os. And you might be able to supply reboot command at that particular moment.
Just try what I said.
