Hi, in my attempts to get Lollipop from the stock rom of 4.4.4, I have severely screwed up my phone. I have tried a bunch of stuff, and I want to just wipe everything and start over. When I turn it on, it stays stuck at the green HTC logo.
When I try to run the RUU to either upgrade to Lollipop or even downgrade to get my phone working again, it gets stuck on the Sending... screen after rebooting the first or second time.
I am able to use fastboot and also get into TWRP recovery. I hope the screenshots and info provided are enough, but please let me know if I can provide more.
Looked for stock images in the internet? I think you will find one which is directly from HTC.
But why don't use CyanogenMod to get the version?

Well that's what I'm trying to do is the RUU for a stock rom. And nah, I don't wanna use CyanogenMod (unless you mean that will help me get back to stock somehow)? Thanks anyway!
Sry miss understood you...

You could download a twrp backup and restore back to stock..

from the first screenshot (bootloader), the red OS line with two versions means the flash didnt go through properly!! (the hboot preupdate worked but the second flash wasnt done)
and it looks like you're on AT&T US, so use the following RUU:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...40.45.C33065.00_F_release_426617_signed_2.exe
make sure you have this installed http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
(otherwise the RUU will just exit)
no need to relock or anything with S-OFF (and absolutely stay S-OFF!!)
PS: running RUU will obviously wipe everything off your phone and also put back stock recovery, so you'll need to flash back TWRP once the RUU is done
Thank you both for your advice. I was able to get everything (or so I thought) working by using a TWRP backup, but I soon realized that most of my apps weren't working correctly. I was getting errors trying to download language packs for Swiftkey, Facebook wouldn't even open, etc. I'm currently trying the RUU, but it's doing what it had been doing in the past.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:

how long are you waiting? it does take some time...
otherwise, you'll need to flash firmware using fastboot (in ruu mode), cause currently your firmware is in a state of limbo, so not good place to be in
EDIT: the ruu log should be in C:\ruu_log\ folder, you could take a look at the file and see if/where it's hanging
Thanks so much nkk71! After retrying my phone is fixed!

Hello.
I tried wiping everything and doing this, and basically it worked. But it is still rebooting, at what seems to be, the same time after loading each time. It will run for a while, and then after maybe 20-30 seconds, it will lag once, and then continue for ~2 seconds, and then lag again, and then turn off and reboot. It did this during CyanogenMod installation, and is doing it now in the OS. I can navigate the OS, apps, etc, for a few seconds until it restarts.
Any help you, or anyone else, could give would be wildly appreciated. I hope we can solve this so I can use my phone again, thank you all for your time.
EDIT:
My story, as short as possible. I got a new HTC One V from Virgin Mobile. Wanted to install Jellybean. Rooted it and installed ClockWorkMod. Used ClockWorkMod and normal methods to install a ROM of Cyanogen I found (listed in OP). That didn't work, kept rebooting as mentioned in OP. Deleted everything. Tried RUU stuff without really knowing what I was doing. Didn't work as expected. Gave up. Tried this Cyanogen ROM posted above. Still rebooting.
If you need anymore information about my phone model, or something else, just ask. I really need to get this fixed so I can use my phone. Thank you all again for your help.
You have to copy the boot.img from the ROM zip and paste it in your fastboot window and run command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------
And read the forums before posting what thousands of other had already asked....and gotten answered.... XDA RULES
So i made the mistake of doing the HTC ONE V OTA update back in march.
It was the "Software Update: 1.10.652.6 (73.1 MB)".
After doing so i tried to flash a custom rom.
The result was my phone being stuck in a boot loop.
I bought a cheap android phone and switched my number to that phone.
I saw that the RhythmicRom v1.4 worked with the OTA update and so i flashed my HTC ONE V to that rom and it stopped my phone from boot looping and so my phone works again.
My only problem is that for me to switch back to my HTC ONE V is to switch it back though the VIRGIN MOBILE website.
After i switch it tells me i need to use the "Activate" set up wizard.
RhythmicRom removed the "Activate" and "My Account" app.
I also cant use ##VIRGIN# with this rom
My question is, How do i reactivate my HTC ONE V without the "Activate" set up wizard?
I really want to use this rom.
Ive tried to look for ways to do it and tried them but none of them work.
Ive also tried some ## codes but some of them dont work or require some security code.
Is there anyway to reactivate my phone using that rom?
I hope you made backup of your stock. You wil lneed to restore it and flash the stock kernel in fastboot. You will then be able to activate it.
the only backup i have its the one before the update. ive tried to use it before but it just reverts me back to a bootloop. now that my phone had been updated it doesnt seem to work anymore.

ok so i tried it. the rom wouldn't work. it has done this with many roms ive tried. it seem the only ones that are working are RhythmicRom_v1.4 & jellybeer. maybe it has to do with the code?
but i tried the boot.img from your rom combined with my backup that i made before the update and it booted up finally without any reboot problems but the wifi had an error in it.
but i then went to reboot to double check to see if it was working it booted past the virgin mobile part (with the people dancing) got to the htc logo and it wouldn't go past that.
when i tried to use you're rom it would come up as "Failed" i dont think the code is compatible with my phone.
What version recovery are you using... I'll look into it
im using TWRP 2.5.0.0
Down grade to the one I have posted in the 3rd post in CDMA development thread
---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------
2.5.0.0 will always say failed because it's trying to format a partition or your sdcard that does not exist
i will try it out thanks!
Welcome
so i tried flashing twrp v2.2.0 and for some reason it wont mount my sd card so it cant read it at all.
Do you have ADB checked under settings?
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
P.S. whenever you are in fastboot mode send command
fastboot erase recovery (press enter)
You'll probably get an error but move on and send command
fastboot erase cache
Now send command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This should give you a clean install of your recovery
If the problem persists, I'll take down the link for the TWRP 2.2.0 in my thread
when i got my phone, i went and tinkered with everything and had a custom rom on there before i got a chance to activate it as well, i ended up RUU'ing back to stock to activate, then going to a normal rom, ever since then, i've never needed to go back... hope this helps!
How do I get into settings?
And to the other person, with the new ota update ruu won't work with my phone.

I'm pretty sure I have it set up properly. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I just didn't know there was a way to fully wipe the recovery. Thanks for that info. Next time I have internet I will try it out. For now I'm stuck using this rom. it works pretty good just a bit buggy.

so i tried it out and it worked for installing but im having a few problems with updating apps. some of the built in apps like google maps are coming back as invalid package.
Dear friends,
I'm new here...i have been hours and hours checking and studing the forum but nothing clear i got.
I have seen people with similar problem but nobody show a solution.
I got to root the phone and delete some apps i didn't need. But in some moment i deleted some file relationed with the launcher, i think.
Then, the screen turned black and when reboot the system all reboot correctly until appeared on the creen the words "android" with a little moving and that's all. The system don't reach the next pass and the launcher don't load.
I tried to wipe data/factory reset on android system recovery but nothing happends...i reboot the phone and the load system stop on the same image.
I don't know if i need to get the update.zip file to recover the phone or i need to install a rom.
Any idea? What can i begin for?
Thank you in advance
I can get start the phone but only can see calls, messages and camera applications. Home application is a black screen.
Anybody knows this mobile? Any web to find information or roms for it? Any launcher i can install from pc? Because google play aplications don't install automatically.
Only i know this is BML S4 but don't find any information about it on web.
Thanks you!

Hello together,
colleague son have the same phone. The phone was running with android 4.1. I dont know what happened then.

Where can i find a new firmware and how i do it ?
Thanks a lot.

Press both volume down (or up I do not remember) and power. The phone goes into recovery mode and restarts. Hello
@falconeroap
Hello.... thnaks for your advice. But I have do it very often. No reaction.
Or how long i must hold the buttons ? Maybe the phone is broken.
The first thing to do is to remove the battery for at least 15 seconds. Once this is done, then follow the steps that I've described. Hold the keys down for about 10 seconds. If the phone works should come on. Have you tried changing the battery?
---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------
What happened to you has happened to me too. The only way to restart our phones is to find a rom format "PAC" with its "FDL" files. If you can not find the ROM (firmware) we can share our phones. The procedure is very simple.
I know this way. I have also change the batterie. No chance. But i will test it again. Normaly the phone has no recovery when you buy one, or ?
I think is a trouble with the electronic, maybe.
but thanks...

root bml s4
Mauricio, there is a program that allows you to root your phone but simply advise you not to do it. My phone does not work anymore just because I uninstalled a system file ... If you want the procedure and the program will send them to you but you have to promise to send me the firmware (which you can obtain from the phone)
Rooting Chinese BML phone
Hi Falconero, thanks for your reply.
I would appreciate you giving me the program/procedure to root my phone.
You´ll see, this phone has to little internal memory, so I decide to delete some preloaded apps
and then install those I really need on the sd card.
Thats why I need to root it.
Concerning the possibility of erasing some system file, I hope I´ll be deleting things as facebook app , etcetera.
Regarding the sending of the firmware of my phone, no problem. you just tell me how to do it and I will send it to you.
One more thing what do you need the firmware for?
:good:
Bml s4 root permissions
Mjp9119 Hello, I read your message just now. The firmware can send it to the following email address: mattei.flash @ libero.it. For root permissions, no problem. I have the program on another laptop that has taken my brother. Tomorrow night or Sunday should be back and I can send you the program. It 's very simple to use but be careful! Hello and thank you.
---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------
if you can not send the file via e-mail try to load it on https://rapidshare.com/home. You register, upload it and send me the link.
Hello, falconeroap
Chinese BML S4
Hi again Falconero,
As I said before I´m a newbie, I don´t know how to extract the firmware, you tell me how to do it and I ´ll send it.
What caused your phone to malfunction?
Was it the program by itself or was it you deleting some required file?
Thank you

HAS BEEN FIXED...
I have TWRP recovery, and wiped EVERYTHING before trying to install the Rom, never had a phone that didn't really have a MicroSD, and I guess I wiped the internal memory also... meaning I have no rom to flash...
"adb devices" is not recognizing the phone so I can't Push/Sideload...
I can boot into recovery, but can't do much else without being able to use adb
HELP... any suggestions.

It seems to see the phone, and all, but when it goes to download the firmware from LG, it just hangs, reading the posts there, looks like others have it hang at the same place mine did...
I think I am just SOL, till someone figures out how to make a tool that will fix this...
I am sure I am not the only one that will accidently wipe everything leaving it in a state where you don't have a rom to flash back on it...
so I am sure someone will make something soon...
till then will just have to go back to my old phone.
Thanks.
I would assume you need to try to get fastboot working, but I have never tried to get into the G2's bootloader. But you'll get ADB - Fastboot working, you will, you just need to keep trying. Try someone else's computer if you have to.

You should be able to, as long as you can get adb to see it, you are good, you can even just adb push a rom over to the "NON" SDCard... and then just flash from TWRP...
The main problem we have is that without a SDCard that you can take out and put a rom on, we are stuck.

you have to extract the megalock.dll from its archive and overwrite the existing one in the LG flash tool directory. Then launch the program.

Haha no problem. Many others deserve credit for the files and instructions. I just did the heavy searching.

Just read the info in the links - thanks for posting about your success. Good to know there's a way out if I get into the same situation flashing a ROM on my G2.
Hi,
Is it safe to re-lock my bootloader on the Nougat beta build? I'm stock recovery and not rooted, but I've heard rumours of people bricking their phones. Can anyone confirm?
Cheers

I would say u don't do that rather u lock in stable OOS it will be better not to take risk.
Better to be unlocked if you take a bad OTA you can fix if locked your phone is dead
there is a good bulletproof unbrick method for the op3 using some qualcomm drivers magic, so however badly you mess up with your bootloader locked, there is always a solution... i'd say go ahead and tell us how it went and if safetynet api suspects anything

Great idea! Why don't you try it on your own?
@Dupleshwar, @LS.xD well, ok, i'll give it a go even though i don't need to lock it, i wanted to go back to resurrection remix anyway, so i won't miss oxygen os in the slightest if this goes wrong and i have to make a full wipe. note that i have the beta, am rooted and have flashed stock gapps over this mess of a beta. brb!

well, this was quick! what happened when i locked the bootloader via
Code:
fastboot oem lock
is, it went into an infinite bootloop, always flashing the op logo and then restarting etc. so when i booted fastboot via power+volume up, and did the usual
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
, it told me it would wipe the data, i chose yes and then it just normally booted exactly as before. it left my encryption, all the data, apps, photos etc. intact.
so while you can't lock the bootloader successfully, it is definetly safe to try
