[Q] Can flashing a custom ROM harm the phone's board ?!

I was trying to flash a custom ROM to my my htc DHD, changing the phone's ROM from Android Revolution HD 7.0.4 to a Miui ROM. During the process the mobile went to a complete black screen with nothing else happening, I opened the bootloader and the same thing happens when I try to boot to Recovery, but it still goes in fastboot when I connect the phone to the laptop, so I thought that I've mistakenly deleted the Recovery files from the phone, I tried to push the files using adb but it always said that the device is not found, after several tries I decided to pay a visit to htc customer service where they told me that the phone's board was harmed during the process, having bad history with htc customer service with 2 previous visits both went horribly wrong and they didn't even have the phone checked, only tried to boot it and then jumped to the conclusion, I've had to ask you people for help !!
Here is how I tried to flash the ROM to the already rooted mobile:
I some how thought about using the following method to change the recovery from EXT4 to ClockworkMOD .. I don't know what I was thinking or how high I was at that moment but it really happened using the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
Then the mobile has gone black and story I told before happened, my question now is, can this process or any software development process harm the phone's board by any means ?! and could this problem I'm facing be really with the phones board ?!

No, just head back to the hack kit forum there is a link there for IRC chat help from the guys there. You may have just corrupted your bootloader image. Those working in customer service can't tell you which end is their brain and which end is their rear

I've tried to contact them with the problem when it first happened but they refused to help me telling that I've used the kit for what it's not meant for .. they were kind of arrogant but .. they've got a point !

You will need to install the stock ATT gingerbread ROM using your PC: http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbre...368_signed.exe You will then have to re-root using the Hack Kit.

No problem just remember read search and learn before you try anything on your phone, we all had to do it. Also stick with ext4 for rom flashing its what we all use. I dont even bother with rom manager anymore.
Welcome to XDA and enjoy the learning.

Please give more info. For starts, does the led lit up when you connect to the charger? And what happens when you connect your device to your PC?
Does it detect any new driver?

[Q]My HTC one V stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD, How can I recover it!

Hello every
My HTC one v can not switch on after I tried to get into the boot loader mode by pressed Volume- & Power buttons.
I can connect it to my pc, only the QHSUSB_DLOAD hardware shows up.
After I installed the driver from Android SDK, the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008( COM4) showed up.
I tried QPST to install the boot loader and chipset hex, but failed.
I tried the PblClear from untimited.io. Nothing changed.
I find there is a HTC Unbricking Project, but there is no supporting files for HTC one V.
Please is there anybody can help me?
And I want to join that HTC Unbricking Project, as a telecom engineer hope I can help something.
please contact me by [email protected]!

No idea mate but it should be free if they cant access the hboot and you pretend to be dumb **** who doesn't know the r of rooting. Just tell them i was on a call suddenly it got cut and black screen and 'YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT HTC!'

I think you could say you bought it used on eBay with warranty , and that you don't know anything about root, so the other guy rooted and it's not your fault. But just an idea, it could screw things up.

[Q] UK EE htc m8 unlock plus rooting issues help

Hi guys, i have a UK EE htc m8 gun metal gray and have been using since launch day. I am very happy with the phone. One issue only as in the UK we only have the 16gb version available. the application storage space is an issue so i wanted to root my phone so i can make use of my 128gb micro sd card i have purchased to install apps & media. I have looked everywhere and all the threads are covering american at&t or verison only. Maybe i havent looked at the right place yet. Can any one help me root my phone (who has experience of this issue from a uk point of veiw) so i can make use of apps & data to micro sd. I am very new to rooting & moding and this would be my first time. I would greatly appreciate if there is anybody who can assist. One other question is as i use my credit card to purchase from online google play store, amazon would there be a security risk for me by rooting. Thank you guys for your time and you can msg me anytime.

Htc one m8 backup
Hi Shah Dawon
I can see from your original post you are considering rooting your M8.
Have you, or will you be doing a backup of the stock rom? If so would you consider letting me have a copy of it to allow me to return my phone to stock.
Thanks

Thanks again.

Someone referred to the hasoon unlock tool, but I haven't been able to get that to work.
I followed the instructions, fastboot off, usb debugging on (I'm on windows 8.1), tried it with all of my laptops USB ports (my phone pics/movies are backed up).
Installed the HTC driver, rebooted(the unlocker tool says it's windows 8 compatible), ran everything as administrator
registered at htc dev
ran the "get token ID", and the command prompt is giving me an error, the whole window reads
"daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
daemon started successfully
error: device not found"
I've noticed in an instructional video on youtube, when the individual plugs his phone into his windows 7 PC, he gets an immediate prompt on his phone allowing that PC debug access @ 4:53 in the video . ( youtube.com/watch?v=FsOaRQoJWWDw I don't get that RSA key prompt, so I'm assuming that's where my problem is?
Anyone know how to fix that? I've tried reinstalling the HTC drivers, rebooting both devices, and revoking certifficates
running win 8.1 x64, pretty standard these days
software version 2.16.651.4
android 4.4.3
I'm not even trying to do anything that crazy, except put the harmon karmon software on my sprint m8

I unlocked my HTC One M8 (from EE) using HTCDev the day after I got it, have been rooted, ran custom Roms, obtained S-Off and now back at stock S-Off.
The only thing about doing it this way is that HTC may have a record of you unlocking your bootloader.
I don't have any experience in doing it any other way (I try and stay away from Toolkits as I find it is better to learn adb and fastboot so you know exactly what you are doing, and it will also help in fixing things if they go wrong).

Thanks for your input I really appreciate it. Can you possibly give a step by step as im new to this. And also would there be a security issue with purchasing from online using personal banking details like amazon, google play etc... Thank you for your responce.

If you want to unlock the official way (HTC may know you have done this) and root, this tells you all you need to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
If you don't want to use HTCDev unlocking, your only other real option is obtaining S-Off (via Firewater - may not work on your device, or Sunshine - will work on your device but costs $25).
One thing I will say before attempting ANYTHING is, Read, Read, Read, then Read again.
Make sure you are 100% sure you know what you are doing before attempting anything.
Couple of tips:
1. Make a note of your original CID (fastboot getvar cid) - if its EE it will probably be ORANG001.
2. If you get a custom recovery installed, make a backup of your stock ROM, and keep it somewhere safe - it might be handy to get you out of any problems.
In regards to your other questions: as soon as you root your device you are opening up a potential security risk as apps that ask for root could potentially have access to EVERYTHING on your phone (once you have given it root permissions). I am sure 99.9999999999% of apps that you install from Google Play are totally safe, but you never know.
Some mobile banking apps will not work on rooted devices (Barclays for instance) so be aware of that too!
Hope this helps some!
