Rename RUU to OPJAIMG.zip...and place it on your external sd card using a pc reader...
Then boot device into download mode and auto flash the rom....g
Thank you but my computer no longer reads my phone sd or even shows up . Recovery is no longer an option as it only shows a red triangle with a explation point in the middle . When i put adb devices nothing shows up or adb get-state show nothing at all . Only thing im able to do is sideload but when i try to it shows it not a signed software and abort update. I think i no longer have any rom just a build number shows up when i open up htc nero,
Send it to htc.

What I mean is....take sd card out of your phone and place the file to it using a PC card adapter.
Once the file has been loaded to the card and renamed to OPJAIMG.zip....then put it back into your powered off phone and boot into your bootloader.....and see if the file will flash....g

if you are using a card above 32gb it won't work, has tyo be 32gb or smaller(SDHC). 64gb is SDXC.
also you need to boot it into download mode for the phone to pick up the file. if it picks it up you will see an option to press volume up to continue

Not so sure of the entire truth in this. I'm using a 128gb card with no issues. The problem i have is my pc won't recognise it. Otherwise it works as it should.

remove the card from the phone and use an adapter and transfer the file to the card from your computer, if you think this is not true about the size of the card, then you can keep your phone in the state it's in now, up to you. I told you what Jesus told John, The Truth
when youre in recovery mode, just hold the power button and press volume up once. Should get you into recovery

I already stated that my pc cannot see the 128gb card.
How far can you get with the device?. Bootloader? (vol+ & power once), download mode? (vol- & power once) , does it even try?.
Is there any change on your pc when you plug the device into a usb on the motherboard while the device is in either download mode or bootloader? Any noise etc?
Remove htc sync but keep its drivers installed.

You don't have a card reader on your computer?
As I said before if you even get the Ruu on the sd card a 128gb the phone will not pick it up when you boot to download mode, you need 32gb or smaller
your saying after you remove the card from your phone, your computer won't see it? If so then your card reader needs a driver update.

so i am trying to root the mytouch slide 3g again. I can adb just fine when its powered up. but as soon as I am in recovery, my attempts at "adb devices" wont return any info on the phones serial number. just says "list of devices attatched". even after i "loop" still cant adb afterwords. infact, because of this hiccup is why i suspect the "loop" is failing on me. Any help is greatly appreciated and im sorry for the way i worded this, its a bit difficult for me to go into these details as English isnt my first language.
thanks

now try to convince the people that say it's not the sd card that it's the sd card
If you guys saw DoidDogs video (on Mac though, but the same issue) He says the way you do it is to put the loop command on the screen but dont hit enter yet. Then get ready to click recovery and you do them basically at the same time or just a split second apart. It took him about a dozen tries, but he claims it helped.
I tried to root it a few weeks ago, but it didn't quite work, so i did a hard reset.
Everything works, except the phone won't boot with the SD card in it (it just keeps looping at the "MyTouch 3g Slide" screen. And the phone will not recognize any SD card. i've tried three. the original samsung 8gb, a kingston 2gb, and a 16gb one. all the cards work perfectly on my computer, one is used to run android on my HD2. so i KNOW it works. I've tried reformatting it also, and that didn't work (FAT32).
how can i fix this?

Can you get to the bootloader and recovery with the SD card in it? If you don't know how hold down the vol down button and power button, then use the volume rocker to go down to recovery and pres power again to select it. If you can't access the bootloader with an sd card in it I would suspect a hardware issue but I'm not sure. If you can get into recovery and flash clockworkmod recovery, then re-download and flash a ROM, such as cyanogenmod 6.1.0 or CR_mod or something. Just to rule out a ROM error.
Might want to try a full wipe again using recovery if you can get into it.

In the Dev section for our phone THIS method.
Also, check the slide rom bible for some other stuff you might need, like the stock rom.
Oh, I assumed you were rooted. When you power on with Vol Down, the first screen is hboot... isn't there a full wipe option there, therefore not requiring the OP to go into recovery?
Yeah, there is a wipe option in Hboot.

nope. not yet, at least. i'm working on it now, but i keep running into problems. the latest one, is when i run the "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals" command in step 4, it just says "error: device not found". i'm pretty sure i've done everything right.
is there anyone willing to help walk me through this with an instant messenger or something? i can probably figure it out eventually, but help would be much appreciated.
also, when i plug the phone into the computer, the phone charges, but doesn't recognize the phone. windows (7) says it can't identify it. and when i unplug the phone, it resets.

is there any way i can load the original stock firmware? i loaded ESPRIMG.zip and it worked, but didn't do anything.
It must be an issue on the computer side with your computer not recognizing your phone. I'm on my phone at the moment, with an almost dead battery (bad cm6.1 battery life) but when I get to a computer I'll look it up, there's something else you might have to install. Are you on xp vista or 7?

Yes, they will see your root attempt and say you voided your warranty, but it's easy to unroot. Although I don't think your phone is the issue here, since you can still see your microsd card when you plug into your computer, right? Like if you mount USB storage, it works?

And if you cant mount usb storage on your phone and see it on your computer, then I think your phone does have an issue with the usb port. Either that or it's a rom issue? Could be something corrupted.

it MIGHT be a usb issue, but i doubt it. it can't be a rom issue, because i haven't rooted the phone.
when i hit apply update.zip in recovery, it just says "can't find /sdcard/update.zip". it's definitely there, in the root of the SD card.
any ideas?
EDIT: i just used hboot to load ESPRIMG.zip. i THINK that worked. but it still says firmware 2.1-update 1. will that be enough to clear it for HTC?

Best bet is to RUU to stock so you will get a working phone, then you can add the custom recovery, roms, ect.

A usb otg cable allows you to attatch a usb flash drive to your phone. Rename the ruu zip to PN07IMG.zip and put it on the usb drive in no folders. Then attatch it to your phone and boot to hboot. Hboot will automaticly find the file and prompt you to install it.
You can also try using these drivers to get your pc to recognize the phone. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip

Thanks dear,
I did as you describe in the otg method but unfortunately may phone shows no response at all.
I had already tried to solve all issues of drivers, but also this failed.
Could this be a hardware problem e.g. in the USB port or what??
Make sure the usb drive is formated fat32 and the file is named exactly caps and all PN07IMG.zip. If it still dosent work, its possible it has a bad usb port.

The USB drive and otg cable work fine in my galaxy note, the format is fat32, and the RUU name is exactly as you wrote, so I think the problem in the USB port unless you have another idea..
I would say more than likley its a bad usb port. Does the phone still charge?

There is never a time when this device cant be recovered. even the qhusb is a fairly simple fix. ill go ahead and make a sdcard boot image tonight. do you have a 32gb sdcard? (or larger) and an sdcard reader, if you have those two things i can make an unbrick.img that you flash toi the sdcard and put in the non-booting phone and it will get you to download mode/recovery mode. ill have to check out what partitions are where as i dont wish to include my efs along with it all .

1. With the phone on download mode and plugged in the computer; uninstall the unknown device on your computer using device manager. The computer should try to get the drivers for your phone.
2. If it doesn't. Repeat step one and install the drivers first.
That worked for me hopefully I'll work for you.

Yes I tried that. The drivers won't install. I even used another windows 8 computer my roommate has and switched out
the usb cables, still came back "unknown device"

There is never a time when this device cant be recovered. even the qhusb is a fairly simple fix. ill go ahead and make a sdcard boot image tonight. do you have a 32gb sdcard? (or larger) and an sdcard reader, if you have those two things i can make an unbrick.img that you flash toi the sdcard and put in the non-booting phone and it will get you to download mode/recovery mode. ill have to check out what partitions are where as i dont wish to include my efs along with it all .

I do have a 16gb sd card, but I can pick up at 32 gb sd at my local best buy. I have an Asus laptop running windows 8 and it has an SD card reader. I am a little confused (semi-noob) as to how this will work because my phone will boot up, and the led changes colors on the home button for about 4 seconds and then the light stops flashing. The phone is stuck on the LG boot screen, and there is no way out of it but to pull the battery or to reset with power button. Of course no recovery as previously mentioned. I really just want to get back to stock, but I can't manage to get both the windows 8 computers I've tried to detect the phone in download mode. Ever since I switched to the Candykat rom 4.4 the computer wasn't able to recognize the phone, even when the phone was fully functional inside the rom.
I have tried it on my dads windows 7 laptop as well with no dice. Instaled LG drivers, uninstalled LG Drivers, uninstalled device from the Device Manager. I've done everything I could think of. I previously was in a Philz touch recovery, but every rom I tried to flash wouldn't work. I tried to flash another recovery from inside it and then the device bricked like it is now. What a head ache. If you think this method would work, I am more than willing to try it, just unfamiliar with what I need to do on my end.
Okay

I will give your method a shot, but I have done this a lot already. The only thing I can think of is I usually unplug the phone from the computer right after deleting the drivers and uninstalling in device manager. Maybe I should just leave the phone plugged in and see if the computer automatically downloads the drivers, but I don't think it will because I've tried to update the drivers before. It gives me an error code "10" and says the device has malfunction or stopped working This phone has been undetectable via USB since flashing the candykat 4.4 rom. Every computer I've tried (3) and every USB cable (3 again) has displayed it as an "unknown device"

I dont know lg's download mode, kdz, tot etc all that well. im more of a samsung guy. however qualcomm since the s4 chipset has allowed for sdcards that are properly formatted to boot the os instead of the internal emmc. here is a decent guide, just need to make teh image for this device. this will let your device boot no matter how bad it gets you are welcome to try with 16gb, the rule of thumb i know of is as big as teh emmc is use that same size or larger sdcard, however some people have had sucess withs maller, just not many that i know of. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367
however afaik the only way to reflash teh bootloader partitions is via kdz/download mode so perhaps the sdcard will let you get into that mode and then you can flash, so long as you keep your sdcard like that it will boot fully, but in order ot get your sdcard back you need to repair teh files on your phone .
Thanks

Yeah dude there's an unbrick method. If this doesn't work just sell the phone on Ebay. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660

I have tried this and unfortunately since the USB drivers aren't detected by the computer there is no way for me to flash back to stock.
Thanks for the information though, I appreciate it.

Wow, that sounds awesome. I followed most of that. I access download mode on the device by pressing vol up and down simultaneously and plugging in the usb cable. I am more willing to try this, and if it works I will pay you from my paypal. I guess all I need now are those files to run to the sd card. I read the tutorial you posted for the samsung and downloaded the windows disk manager. I am eager to try this method, though it is admittedly very new to me.. If you can post those files, I will follow the instructions you give and pay you a little bit of money for your help!
I am a broke college student so it won't be much, but I really appreciate your response and information on this method with the qualcomm s4.
Here is the unbrick image. follow the guide for your platform (gunna guess windows) and write this to your sdcard after backing it up. from there you need to restore your partitions by flashing them .

Just wrote it to sd card

Okay so I bought the 32 gb sd card. Just wrote the .img file you sent me to the sd card.
I powered on the phone and nothing happened, I got the same LG screen where the led flashes and then stops.
I followed that guide, but am I supposed to go to download mode instead of just powering on the device?
I got a little confused by the samsung jargon lol. I just want to know after I've written the unbrick.zip to the sd card
how do I get my phone to recognize the card is there? And once I am able to do that how do I "restore my partitions by flashing them?"
I do have the factory firmware set to flash through lg flashtool, but the phone can't be detected of course due to the usb issue.
Just want to say thanks for walking me through it this far, I feel like I'm close hopefully but unsure what to do next.

you wrote the image to the sdcard? i wonder if its because you still have the low level bootloaders that it may not be booting from the sdcard, normally this is done to fix qhusb errored devices. as for restoring the partitions all you would need to do is one its booted up push the unbrick image to the phone and use rooted adb shell to write it back onto your phone.
Possible hope??

I meant I used the windows tool to write the debrick.img to the sd card. But no dice, the device isn't recognised.
However! I installed a driver clean up tool and now if I plug in the device it is recognized as Android Original ADB Interface.
The LG Flashtools even says the port is ready! But I get the error code "10" "device cannot start, A request for the USB device descriptor failed."
So now I am stuck on that instead lol. This just sucks.
that sucks about the sdcard, it must be because you arent "truly" bricked. sorry i thought it would help ya :/.
What is the driver repair tool you used? I know this thread is old but I'm having the same problem. I was trying to root my E980 and now my computer wont recognize my device. The phone works perfect, its just when I plug it in to the computer it isnt recognized. How can I fix this?
+1
Just wondering if anyone's come across a solution to this besides a sledge hammer... been having the same "Code 10: Device failed to start" when in Download Mode, though Windows finds a driver fine when the phone is stuck on the LG screen... doesn't help much, though, 'cause it won't receive adb commands. I manually installed the LG USB Composite Device driver, which added a modem and a COM port, both of which Windows recognized to be active, but the LG FlashTool USB Viewer showed no open pipes. I'm a relative noob, so please feel free to point out the obvious, like an alternative to adb that the phone can always receive or a way to brick it the rest of the way so the MicroSD trick will work.
I came across this problem like the OP and just wanna let everyone know that you have to use computer with USB 2.0 port then the driver issue would be fixed.
