A plea for help--SLCD brick

I was trying to flash Alpharev's data++ hboot to my CDMA (SLCD) Desire using Mumilover's Fastboot Commander tool.
After it said it successfully flashed hboot, I shut down from the fastboot menu. After that, my Desire won't turn on. It gives haptic feedback buzzes when you'd expect, but the screen doesn't turn on.
I can get it into fastboot (battery pull, replace battery, hold back and home for ten seconds). When I run Fastboot Commander (phone in fastboot), it says:
Feedback, criticism, ideas, improvments, thanks and appreciations are welcomed on the forum-thread.

I cannot get ADB to connect to it (even when I put the phone in fastboot).
I tried reflashing the stock hboot (on Alpharev's site), clearing data/cache, etc via Fastboot Commander, but no matter what I do, the screen will not turn on.
Is there any hope? I was looking into making a goldcard (as per Bortak's troubleshooting guide), but the links to the goldcard tool is dead (and I don't think I can make one without ADB finding my phone).
I think I found the RUU that should work:
http://goo-inside.me/bravoc/ruu
I've tried both the .exe RUU and to flash the PB99IMG.zip with Fastboot Commander's little full zip utility, but each one fails (I think because they can't overwrite the alpharev hboot? I get this error in Fastboot Commander:
FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)"
I try not to be a noob and read before I ask, but I'm in over my head.
Help would be humbly appreciated.
As a total hailmary: is JTAG an option I should look into, or should I just sell it for parts/cry for a little bit?

Well you flashed something that is for the Bravo on the BravoC.. why would you even try? lol
Your only hope really is to flash the CORRECT BravoC RUU...

I didn't understand that CDMA Desires couldn't use custom hboots. Since I used Revolutionary to S-OFF my device, I figured I could also change up the boot partitions.
I believe this:
http://goo-inside.me/bravoc/ruu/RUU...Radio_2.15.00.11.16_release_168495_signed.exe
...is the correct RUU for my device, but it fails at...
WOW, I literally ran the RUU one last time (which would be the 5th time) to find out exactly where it hung up so I could give you guys more info...and this time it suddenly decided to work!
Guess I know not to touch hboots from now on.
And I'll keep several copies of that RUU on various harddrives...

Help HTC Desire HD Vodafone (stuck): flashing custom rom after unlocking bootloader

Hi,
I need your kind advice in fixing my issue. I have DHD Vodafone 3.13.161.3 GB 2.3.5.
I unlocked the phone using HTC official method, phone got restored to factory default and I tried to flash a custom rom without knowing that I need to change the CID.
The phone starts but get stuck on HTC logo, I have EXT4 recovery installed already.
Tried wiping and factory reset but it seems that its of no use. I can boot to hboot, it says unlocked (highlighted) and s-on.
I did try to make a goldcard, put the sdcard in another phone and used the goldcard helper app then went to the site and submitted the CID and downloaded the image and followed the steps.
(got mmc0 and mmc1, I took mmc1 by manually writting it)
I copied another official rom PD98IMG.ZIP downloaded from the net for WWE and ARA versions copied them to SDcard and got into hboot but after loading it says wrong image and goes back to hboot.
I deseparate to get it fixed, would you plz provide some guidance on how to fix it since I was not able to get Vodafone RUU or any other mechanism to fix!
Appreciate your assistance and efforts..

If you unlocked from HTCdev you have to flash kernel in fast boot rename boot.IMG to pd98img.zip and accept update. Then remove or rename to pd98img.zip.bak so it doesn't keep updating. It's because of s-on you should be able to downgrade hboot and s-off.

Thanks for your response Sammael,
Just some background info about my case:
I have DHD from Vodafone UK which was on the latest rom from Vodafone 2.3.5, I did bootloader unlock using HTCDev then flashed Ext4 recovery.
I tried flashing a custom rooted rom based on WWE version using the recovery mode (install zip from sdcard) after which I got the phone stuck on HTC logo screen everytime I try to power it on.
I tried using WWE RUUs with fastboot usb but got err155, I downloaded Vodafone PD98IMG.zip from that was uploaded by a guy in another forum but copying it to the sdcard and loading it using hboot gave me wrong image/rom message. I tried running WWE RUU then copying the PD98IMG.zip to the temp folder and renaming it to rom.zip after deleting the original rom.zip but again I got err155.
I need at least to get back on Vodafone stock rom and fix the problem, I am not sure if I need to relock the bootloader and if I must flash back the stock recovery.
Can anyone help with this as I have been trying different options for the last 4 days and all the tools that were mentioned need to have a functional phone to do usb debugging and charge only mode!

First will cover the obvious you should have unlocked via HTC dev. The hack kit is the way to go about things
Now for the fix.
Download a custom rom on PC, have androidsdk setup
Boot into recovery and reinstall your custom from.(remember to full wipe).
Once complete plug phone into PC and run adb reboot bootloader.
Once in boot loader select fast boot if its not already selected.(should read fast boot USB)
Now in the custom rom you download open it and take out the boot.img and put it wherever you have adb/fast boot folders
Then type the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
You will have to do this every time you flash a new rom, since you HTC dev unlocked. I would search into relocking boot loader and using the hack kit

I had some progress, relocked the bootloader and copied the PD98IMG.ZIP to sdcard. The phone starts loading the PD98IMG and then running the check, it fails on some point which I think might be the PD98IMG I got is older than the software raido/hboot installed on my phone. Below are the details.

I think I may need the latest PD98IMG.zip to reflash the phone back to Vodafone stock software, plz correct me if I am wrong?
The PD98IMG.zip which was provided a vodafone uk phone owner seems to check the version of my phone's current state hboot/radio.
Is there any place where I can get the latest PD98IMG.zip even if I have to pay for it?

I haven't been able to find the newest ruu for your branded device. Best I can say is keep looking. But if you can't find it your going to have to flash a from how I suggested to get a working phone.
Or maybe wait and see if anyone has other ideas to try

Did you try getting S-OFF via the Advanced Ace Hack Kit? I got a Vodafone DHD on release in Aus and was prompted to make a gold card, eventually managed S-OFF without one.

You get the main version older because your son. And you get the failed remote because your relocked the bootloader. Personally at this point I would unlock the boat loader again, flash cwr then a from and then its boot.img to get a working phone. Then if the pd98img/ruu that you need comes available go back and root properly. But for now I would say to at least get it in a useable state

Hi marsdta,
Thanks again. Just a quick clarification, which boot.img do you suggest I should flash after unlocking the bootloader and flashing cwm?

Depends on what rom you want to install.
So let's say you want to flash cm. Download the rom on your pc. Place a copy of it on your SD card as well. Boot into cwr and flash as usual. Once complete boot into the boot loader.(using adb reboot boatlader is convenient, but you could do it manually by pulley battery and powering up with volume down+power button)
Then take out the boot.img of cm zip and flash as you tried earlier(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Then reboot phone

- Start in bootloader mode

HTC One - stuck in bootloader/fastboot and no recovery

As you can see in the picture the phone boots up to this screen. A friend of mine bought an HTC One on ebay and he found out it was rooted/unlocked so he went to put it back to stock and may have bricked the device while doing so.
EDIT: so I am able to use fastboot, but not adb because I can't get into Windows. Flashing the stock Verizon RUU I found still doesn't get me anywhere though.
Is there any hope for this device? Thanks in advance!

You have to select bootloader to get to the recovery option. What kind of computer are you using and whats it running?

Yea I saw that after messing around with it some more. It is Windows 7 x64.
I tried the one at the bottom of the page as I can't find one anywhere else. I also used the commands at the bottom to try and flash it.

When you go to device manager on your pc with the phone pluged in and in fastboot mode, does it show android phone or unknown device? Try using these drivers http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip

OK cool I will try that once it downloads. It shows "My HTC" in the device manager. Also with the fastboot devices command it does give me the device ID.
EDIT: That worked! Thanks a lot for the RUU file, as I could not find that anywhere.

Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. She tried to flash this RUU: "RUU Zip M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_1.10.605.10_decrypted" but the phone doesn't boot. Here is more info about the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688936
Can she flash the RUU posted here?
This is what the hboot says:
Unlocked

Thank you very much.

She can, but since she is s-off, its better to flash the decrypted one. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2.10.605.1/PN07IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_2.10.605.1_DECRYPT.zip

First, thank you very much. She changed the CID to VZW__001. That's not a problem, right?
Does the CID and MID have to be compatible with the RUU? She has this MID: PN0731000.
Downloading this RUU, will report back.
Again, thank you.

Yes the cid and mid need to match the ruu. What you have now are the correct ones. However 11111111 is super cid, which would have also worked.

Hello again. Before we try to flash the RUU, I would like to ask you the steps to do it. This is what we gonna do:
1. Download RUU
2. Rename to "ruu.zip" (Optional)
3. Enter fastboot mode
4. enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - You should not see a silver HTC logo on your device.
5. enter "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" - The first time you execute this command, it only prepares the flash
6. As soon as the flash is done preparing, enter the same exact command again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
7. Now you'll see a little green progress bar on your phone. This does not need to reach 100%. As soon as your command window is finished, you can just "fastboot reboot".
8. You should be set back to fully stock HTC One.
And that's it? Nothing else is needed, right?
EDIT: we flashed the RUU. Now the phone boots always in fastboot. No matter what option we choose, the phone does nothing and goes back to fastboot. On the bottom of hboot there is a new line in red: "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)"

Ok try changing the cid back to 11111111 super cid, then run the ruu again and see what happens. Before doing both, use the cmd
fastboot erase cache

Hello. We just did it, and still the same problem. We were reading that some people solved this by doing a downgrade to hboot 1.44. But I don't want to make this problem worse.

You can try it, its worth a shot. Just flash an older ruu. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/. Dont remember which one goes with 1.44

You can't be more kind. We made a downgrade, and now we can use CWM again. (We did the downgrade before reading your post, so we didn't use an older RUU) Now thinking hwat should be the next step: flashing a ROM (custom or stock, mounting a pendrive) or flashing an older RUU or anything else. Again, dude, you're awesome.

I'm stuck in a similar situation and any help would be appreciated so I don't screw this up. I can get into the bootloader but not into recovery (gets to the first TWRP screen then reboots). Safe mode works fine too.

The problem is nicouy that you are s-on, and on the newest kk firmware. An s-on phone will not allow you to "downgrade" firmware, and we do not yet have the latest ruu available, at least to my knowledge. So your kind of screwed right now untill we get our hands on a kk ruu.

Im not 100% sure if this will work for you, but this is how i unbricked my DZ.
I can see you already have fastboot running in your pc, good.
Boot into bootloader and go into fastboot there.
Then in cmd use fastboot oem rebootRUU
when your phone is in RUU, type:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip it will propably give some error message and says to flush image immediately, so type fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip again.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should have engineering hboot running.
PC10IMG.zip file mentioned can be downloaded here : http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip

Try to flash stock ruu, if isn't working it's probably a dead nand.

Black screen with red triangle is the stock recovery. So that is expected. Hold vol up, and press and release power button, to show the stock recovery menu options.

That message is expected when trying to flash custom recovery with a locked bootloader. TWRP is only going to flash if the bootloader is unlocked.
Since you are s-off, you can also try the following method to unlock the bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
However, I agree with the previous reply, given the random bugs and behavior, it is best to RUU to a full stock factory image. RUU will wipe the phone, but it sounds like you are trying to wipe user data, anyway. You have the Sprint version M8, and the correct RUUs are here (do not try RUU for any other M8 version! permanent damage is possible):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
You can try any of the RUUs there. But note that if you try the Marshmallow RUU, you will have to flash corresponding Marshmallow firmware.zip before the RUU will install properly (this is clearly indicated in red caps text on the linked thread).
I also agree with the previous response. The behavior is really suspicious (changes don't "stick", bootloader does not unlocked) and NAND failure is a real possibility, especially if the problems persist after RUU.

I'm on 4.4.2 which one should i use (the non-HK i guess since my modelid is 0P6B70000) , i really want the easiest and most detailed way to flash the RUU
and sry for asking this (Do i just unzip the RUU and install or some codes are involved) cuz i downloaded RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.25.651.14_Radio_1.09.20.0209_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2.exe
and installed it but nothing happened
also i wanna mention that this phone came from china and i read abt this Region\carrier codes so maybe while someone trying to fix it change it to Sprint[US] (dk if that is possible) (i'm just guessing i dk if we could use this information)
and Huge thanks to you

Both HK and non-HK versions have the same model number 0P6B70000. The only different is in software/firmware.
Your OS number in getvar (3.30.651.2) leads me to believe it was originally non-HK (the "651" signifies this). But it's possible that the previous seller changed it from HK to non-HK (although I'd say that is unlikely).
Really since you are SuperCID, either RUUs will work (HK or non-HK). You can try 3.30.651.2, or the one you downloaded 4.25.651.14 is fine as well.

The .exe format RUU is probably the simplest method. PC is required.
Do not unzip or do anything special to the RUU. Connect the phone to PC, with phone in bootloader mode. You should be able to just double click the exe file, and it should launch the application, which just walks you through the installation.
Are you saying you double clicked the exe file, and nothing happened? Or that it fully installed, but the phone is in the same state?

No, that isn't possible. The Sprint version M8 is different from all other versions. Trying to flash Sprint version firmware/RUU to any other M8 version results in a radio brick (no SIM, no cell service).
We see on this forum a lot of folks with the Sprint version M8 which have been made s-off and SuperCID (by seller/vendor) to unlock them for use in other countries, and to appear "unbranded" (when they are in fact, far from it).

your Help is much appriciated

It did nothing bcuz phone was on bootloader menu but when i tried RUU while phone was booted , wizard moved on to the next step ,
wizard tried to flash RUU but it's stuck on waiting for bootloader , and instead of the phone boot into bootloader it just reboot into the same restore point as if nothing happened.
-https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B&id=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B%21340&parId=root&o=OneUp
- it kinda does that in every process before last step (rebooot) , I tried
1-Flash Firmware via Hboot (requires micro sd card)....
-rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip
-copy 0P6BIMG.zip to ext_sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
*reboot after pressing up
2- Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed....
-rename firmware to firmware.zip
-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder
-boot into bootloader
-plug in usb
-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)
-type fastboot oem rebootRUU
-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
-when it's done, type fastboot reboot
* Reboot regularly after fastboot oem rebootRUU
3- ARUwizard to flash 3.30.651.2 stuck at same point (waiting for bootloader) then phone reboot regularly
Is there any other way to flash
