Bricked new M9? - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my new M9 this morning, immediately decided to try to root it and install a custom ROM.
That worked, until I got no service on the rom. So I flashed another one, wiped and everything, but for some reason I'm in a never ending bootloop- the RUU from HTC won't start up, and nothing I flash boots up.
Someone please help
Edit- Okay, so I got it out of the bootloop, but now whenever I boot up, I have no service at all, what do I do?

Flash the ruu zip for your cid .

RUU bricked my phone... I think?

Hi all,
I was trying to unroot my phone so I can send it back to Sprint as I'm doing an exchange and I think RUU messed up my phone.
I opened RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe to unroot my phone... my phone restarted and got the HTC loading screen. The ruu application on the computer then stopped then said something like "please get the correct ROM update utility & try again".
I tried rebooting the phone but it is stuck in a reboot loop at the HTC evo splash screen.
I can access recovery via bootloader. I have tried wiping and reloading the rom that I had on there (damagecontrol 3.2.3) but it still keeps on rebooting on the HTC evo splash screen.
Again, I do have fastboot and recovery access.
Any ideas?

Good to see that you solved your problem. Anyways, with access to bootloader, your phone is almost never bricked.
I had the exact same issue... the only thing that worked for me was to restore a nand backup of a pre OTA rom... in my case a fresh 0.3 backup.
if you have the drivers installed and it errors out you just gotta re try the ruu.exe file while its on the htc screen
happened to me, and worked the second try perfectly.

Yea, I figured as much but I didn't understand why I wasn't able to boot up the new/different rom. Oh well, I hope you all find this thread if ya'll have this problem

[Q] Cannot boot into Recovery!!

So you probably see these types of threads all the time, but this one is different--
So the phone is a T-Mobile G2, Yes, It is Rooted, and S-OFF.
Long story short, I rooted the phone fine, but I cannot reboot into recovery.
I have the newest CWM flashed. It is version 3.0.0.5. When I try to boot the phone into recovery, it simply gets stuck on the HTC Logo screen. But, it is not bricked, but if I remove the battery, and put it back in, the phone boots and its fine. One more time. The phone is S-OFF and rooted.
The only thing I can do is flash CM 2.5.1.3...... 2.5.1.4+ do not work.
I just want to know WHY its doing this. Its my friends G2 and I have rooted mine the SAME exact way, and its fine. I have tried factory resetting it, but it doesn't work.
PLEASE TELL MY WHY.
EDIT*
I'm trying to do this process in ROM Manager- I also have tried flashing it more than once.

If you can boot up normally, load rom manager (download from market), and go to install alternate recovery, and install any alternate recovery. Then when that is complete, go back and install the Clockwork recovery version you want on top of the alternate.
What happens is SOMETIMES recovery will get messed up while installing, and you'll get exactly that, loop at the HTC screen.
If you cannot reflash an old, then the proper recovery through Rom Manager, you can do it via fastboot with your computer and USB, there are a few guides on the developer forum on how to do that. If you need i can try to dig up the fastboot recovery method guide later... but really, if you can boot up, Rom Manager is your best/easiest bet.
Yeah, I'm trying to do it using ROM Manager. and It still doesnt work. Ive rooted- unrooted and did everything, idk what I'm doing wrong. I tried flashing the new recovery like 4 times, it doesn't work for me. Thanks for the reply!

[Q]Phone does not boot, can only go to bootloader

Hi guys,
So i researched a few days before trying to root, install a custom rom (LeeDroid) and flash a custom rom
I managed to do it yesterday and everything was working fine. It is a really great rom.
But today I powered down my DHD and I can't boot anymore. The phone keeps rebooting (it vibrates one time, i see the HTC green logo, then a black screen, vibrates and so on...). The only way to stop this process is to hold the vol- key wich takes me to bootloader (so it appears the phone is continuosly powering off and on)
I already tried and bootloader is working fine, but when a I try any option that requires a reboot, the phone starts this process of power up and down.
Does anyone have any idea of whats happening?
Thanks guys!
Did you perm root your phone?
You could try reinstalling the stock rom too.
Go to bootloader, select recovery, do a full wipe and reflash your ROM. If you get a bootloop when you enter recovery, get stock RUU from XDA and use that.
Yeah I permrooted it.
But, how can I install a new rom without recovery?
I thought that you already flashed LeeDroid, and if you did, you have ClockworkMod recovery. But if that is not the case, use a RUU.

Sorry man... I overlooked this post...
To better describe what I did:
-Radio s-off
Eng S-off
Instaled Leedroid (followed every recomendation he did in the post)
Flashed the radio he suggested
Got the phone working, tested a little bit, charged and then I powered off
When powered on again I got this bootloop
______________________________________
So, do you still recomend RUU?
Can I find any guide here on XDA?
Thanks!
edit:Forgot to mention that I get the bootloop even if I choose recovery on bootloader
edit2:
So after I came home I found de RUU post.
So here are some questions:
Mosts of the RUUs are in .exe extension, so I think that's the ones I should be looking for.
Can I download any version?
I'm currently downloading de WWE Asia version since my phone came from India. Only English (india) was available from stock, but I will not try to do anything before I'm sure of what to do.
When I plug the usb cable the bootloader changes to USB bootloader (or something like that). From the little that I found aboutt RUU I should run with the phone on that condition. Is that correct?
Thanks again, and sorry for the constant editing
Really sorry for double posting, but I need to update.
I managed to install the RUU. The program worked fine and I got the confirmation of installed rom, but when the phone rebooted it got stucked on the bootloop again.
Can this be a hardware problem? Is there anything else that I can do having access only to bootloader?
Okay, it is a hardware problem. The RUU wipes everything clean and installs a new system, and as it does not seem to help, the problem is definitely in hardware side.
After I was almost giving up I tried a different version of the RUU and the phone booted!
I already rebooted it a few times and it seems ok.
Thanks for the help jkoljo!
Nice job, which RUU did you use?
I think that there was a bad block in your phone's internal memory, which got fixed when the RUU wrote on it a few times.

I used the Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1
I was trying to use a 1.72 version and still got the bootloop, but the asia version worked just fine.
I´m really glad the phone is working now, the only downside is that I´m back to the stock rom.

[Q] Vodafone UK OTA Vodafone_UK_2.17.161.4-1.29.161.13 boot loops

Hi all,
I got a notification this morning about an OTA on my Vodafone UK One X, I have unlocked it already though, so the OTA refuses to install as per previous OTAs.
Like the previous OTA, I opened the zip (OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_UK_2.17.161.4-1.29.161.13_release_280431g20qld0c8sg0f1qb.zip) and modified the META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script to remove the cid check, copied the zip to the device, rebooted into CWM v5.8.4.0, disabled signature verification, flashed the zip.
All went well, progressed as normal patching the system, no errors displayed.
The device now boots all the way to my Android home screen with screen saver etc, but then immediately reboots as if it thinks part of the update is still pending. Any ideas what I can do to get out of the boot loops? I remember something like this from the last flash.
Thanks!
