Hello,
I am totally new in this forum. I got my HTC Vivid one month ago. Today, I wanted to root it. However, it was off and never back, no LED when plugging via USB.
I unlocked BootLoader according to HTC's instruction.
Update HBoot with PH39IMG.zip
Create recovery Nandroid with VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip
During the process flashing a Kernel in this forum, I type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
It rebooted and I stuck in a boot loop (HTC logo just appeared again and again)
I did a Return to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836). But I only succeeded in first step (fastboot oem lock).
I stuck in bootloader loop. The phone just response in bootloader forever.
I did recovery from Nandroid. It performed restore but not work.
Neither did with the factory reset.
I tried with another PH39IMG.zip (~35 MBs), it worked. I got my phone back.
After that, I wanted to recover since I can't connect to wifi.
Start recovery in bootloader, the phone was just dead. The PC recognized a connection (HSUSB). I download the driver (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
) but no effect.
I think my phone is bricked.
I will appreciate if anyone can help.

did u update hboot with an unlocked bootloader...thats no good
are u still can access Hboot?
sometimes, u should flash a kernel with ROM to work on it. if you still running Stock ROM, don;t flash MOD kernel like Holiraider. it will couse boot loop.
if u still able to access HBOTT, no need to worry.
@meatwad0222: I unlocked bootloader and updated hboot. It succeeded in rooting the phone. I got problem when I tried to flash a kernel.
@prahasta: I can't do anything. The phone never turned on again, even if I plugged the charger, the LED was not on. Pressing power button with volume down did not work at all. In general, I can't access to hboot.
Hm... It will be difficult.. hope it wasn't couse by hardware.

I had a similar problem..I unlocked bootloader.and flashed a new ROM. I was then stuck in boot loop..it would go all the way to the screen where it says "upgrading android" and would then reboot...the solution I found was to extract the boot image and flash it...then it rebooted normally with new ROM. Hope this helps...

if Bootloop, at least u still can access HBoot, but he can't do that.
try to connect it to PC with Full Battery. then check if your PC still detect it. if PC can detect it, try to flash Official RUU.
My laptop does not recognized it. It said that it can't find a driver for that. I searched in xda-forum and I found the driver. Right now, in the device manager of my laptop, it says Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I tried to flash an office RUU but it stopped at <waiting for device>
Thank for your replies.
good to hear your laptop still detect the phone.
u need to pick right RUU for your device.
used Hanson tools, choose to unlock your bootloader again (hope this work). after unlock bootloader, and u can acces HBOOT, choose fastboot mode then instal CMW/WCXs recovery. once done, try to access CWM. if u can acces CWM recovery, there is no worries anymore, u just need to instal correct ROM and Kernel.
My laptop only detects the phone as a Qualcomm chip, not as a phone. When running Hasooon tool, it stops at <waiting for device>.
Sounds like it's in dload mode.
If your phone is in dload mode then I think that is a soft brick...it is fixable, from what I read on another thread, but is more difficult...but not impossible..I had to download HTC drivers for my laptop...the following 2 sites contain the files.

I talked to HTC customer service for repairing. After everything was set up, I thought that I lost my warranty since I rooted my phone (in HBoot, it said RE-LOCK"). I will give a try with the "wire trick" in the thread "Juopunutbear S-OFF". Hopefully after wire those holes, I can access to the debug mode and "wake up" my phone. Otherwise, I have to spend $5 more to buy those warranty stickers on eBay and have the phone fixed.
I thought that it would be a jtag, but it was not. I did not succeed. I have to send it to HTC for repair.
I think I know the reason caused my problem. I tried to recover why I was on S-ON. Thus, the firmware will "fight" each other and the hardware will not know what it should do. The result is a software-bricked phone.

Some basic info about my phone-
HBOOT 1.47.0000
Radio 2.42.01.04.23
Carrier- iWireless (Kroger, Sprint subsidary)
S-ON
Alright, so I was just using my phone as normal. Running CM7.2 and ClockWorkMod Recovery. I turned off my phone, everything was fine. When I went to turn it on again, it showed the green HTC logo, as per normal, then it suddenly rebooted. There, it showed the green HTC logo again, and it'll just stay there. So I tried to boot into recovery (pulled the battery, put it back in, held the red end call button + volume down, got into hboot, then pressed home to go to recovery).
The thing is- it did the same thing. Reboot before it gets to recovery, and then stuck at the HTC Logo. I tried using the Sprint RUU, didn't work- it told me to download the right RUU for this phone, and gives me an error 131. I used the flashable RUU found in this thread (found here), in conjunction with this tutorial (found here). It gave me an error that looked like this when I ran "fastboot flash zip *flashable RUU zip path*"
Code:
FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail)
I believe it has something to do with the fact that it is NOT a Sprint branded phone. It doesn't even have a Google logo on the back.
Since it's not S-OFF, I can't flash a recovery via fastboot. I'm stuck. Help?
*TO CLARIFY*
I can't get into Recovery, or the actual system. I also can't access adb. The only part I can access is the bootloader and fastboot.
How much battery did you have left before you turned your phone off ?? Also what was the reason you turned your phone off ??? Also you linked to the use fastboot thread did you already type the "fastboot reboot reboot RUU" command ??

About 75% if I remember correctly. Only light usage. And I just turned it off in school, we were taking a test. Nothing abnormal about turning it off. And yes, several times. Tried flashing recovery/system/boot in every way possible, using that command and not using that command. I noticed something else- it seems like the NAND memory is completely wiped. There is NOTHING on the phone, other than the bootloader.
After you ran that command you tried to flash a zip or no ??? And more info on when you say the bootloader is the only thing on the phone would be appreciated. Also when you plug your phone into your pc does it recognize in its current state ??? Also when you boot into the bootloader what info is now displayed ???

Yes, I tried flashing multiple times. As I said, it fails with a CID check failure. And it doesn't seem that there's anything on the NAND anymore, as it doesn't even get to the boot logo, and recovery will just restart the phone.
My PC recognizes my phone, only in fastboot. And just normal bootloader info- model number, baseband, etc.
So I was really dumb and tried to factory reset my phone while I was on a custom rom and now am stuck in a boot loop. I have been googling around to try and figure out what to do but nothing seems to work. When I try and Hboot an RUU stock file it gets stuck at UserData. I also cannot get into recovery only Hboot.
I am relocked and S-On. Don't know what else to do. Is it beyond repair?
Ok when you run the ruu are you selecting fastboot in the hboot screen ? Does it say USB after fastboot when connected ?

When i hold down power and volume down it goes to the Hboot screen and it automatically looks for the PH39IMG.zip file so no I am not running fastboot but when I do select fastboot it only says fastboot no USB (i do not have it plugged into PC btw).
When you select fastboot , then plug it in the pc and it should go USB , if not you need to install the drivers
If you need the drivers you dl htc sync manager , or dl the toolkit in the dev forum and install them that way .
Fastboot USB is showing up but HTC Sync is saying there are no devices connected, not sure if thats a problem.
Ok did you do this when you ran the ruu ?

HTC sync looks for devices that are powered on...just try and run the ruu..listen to bigtjmc
AND DON'T UNPLUG ONCE IT'S GOING, THE PROCESS TAKES A WHILE...

Well I was actually extracting the RUU image from my PC's temp folder then placing it on my phone to allow Hboot to find it. I am now running the actual RUU software on my PC and it seems to be working. I will update when its finished. Thanks so much for your help.
Right on ,
Let us know what happens .
The ruu is stuck at 34%...I have it plugged in still not sure what to do from here
How long has it been stuck?
Don't unplug it...just let it sit...

sorry guys I was in class and couldnt respond. so right now i went through the RUU recovery steps and it allowed me to re-do the RUU setup. I just redid it thinking my PC may have messed up but I am stuck at 34% again. Any suggestions for what I should do after I recover it again?
edit: forgot to mention that I left it for a few hours while in class and it took me to the recovery setup
Can you get into recovery when it sends you there ?
no I cannot get into recovery. All i can do is get into fastboot.
Right but what recovery setup you mentioned earlier ? Maybe you got a bad ruu download try and re dl it or try a different version.
Sorry the recovery I mentioned was a recovery process the RUU takes you through when an update fails. I also have tried about 4 different downloads to no avail. I have been using this file here
Ok , what Rom did you have on the phone ?
I couldnt tell you for sure I installed it pretty quickly after the ICS update was available. I want to say I installed one of the HTC Holiday or Raider ICS roms because that was available before the Vivid one. Once that was installed I rooted.
Ok one last thing and I will see what I can come up with , the ruu screen when it stopped at 34% what was it trying or waiting on ?
I've got an HTC One with Sprint running 4.2.2 (3.05.651.6). I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it using qbking77's tutorial. I haven't flashed any ROMs on my phone.
Everything has been working fine until yesterday. I took my phone out of my pocket and it was dead. I charged it up and when I turned it on it was stuck in a boot loop on the htc screen. I can get into bootloader fine and fast boot usb shows up on my phone when connected to the computer, but I can't access my TWRP recovery. It shows TeamWin screen then boot loops again.
I have re flashed the recovery and erased the cache. I have also tried to lock the bootloader using Hasoon2000's HTC One All-In-One Toolkit and by connecting to fastboot and typing in "fast boot oem lock. For the toolkit i get device not found and an error and when using the command prompt I get FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory)). I think its possible my usb debugging may be off since I can't find any devices using adb but my pdanet can find my phone (which needs usb debugging) so I'm not sure.
If I can get it locked, I can use RUU to get back to stock.
I'm running out of options. I'm thinking I can still flash a non-stock rom to get the phone running again and then relock and go to stock. Any ideas on what my issue is and how to fix it? Any input is appreciated.
My m8 is stuck in a boot loop and i am unable to access the recovery to factory reset the phone. Its been like this for 2 days now, and i have not found any solid help on the matter. I can get into hboot, however fastboot does not work and i cannot get into the recovery (the options are there, but when i press them they just disappear and nothing happens). If i connect the phone to my pc, the fastboot usb option shows up.
What im looking for are some step by step instructions on how to fix the matter. Ive posted on the /r/techsupport subreddit, and ive been told to either use an RUU or try and reflash a recovery, but without the instructions on how to do so.

Hi,
This is my first time to create an account and or post on XDA, so I appolagize if my question is somewhere else, or if this is the wrong section...
I have a T-Mobile HTC One M7. I flashed the Google Edition RUU to try it out. I then flashed just the firmware back and was going to restore a TWRP Backup. After I issued the command fastboot flash zip firmware.zip twice, I entered the command fastboot reboot-bootloader. The screen then turned black and won't turn on. The phone seems completely unresponsive. It won't boot to an OS, or Bootloader. No HTC logo on the screen. If I plug the phone in, nothing happens. No charging light or anything. I surrely thought I actually Bricked it, but it appears to be reconized by Windows. If I hold down the power button for so long, the light won't blink, but the computer makes a device disconnected sound shortly followed by a connect sound. I went ahead and connected it to a Linux machine, and the OS sees 6 different partitions / removable media. I am able to browse what appears to be the root, system, recovery...
It is S-OFF via firewater and the firmware I flashed has hboot 1.57.0000. The bootloader is unlocked. The device is not seen by adb nor fastboot.
Does anyone think I have any chance of recoverying it?
Yes it's dead, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770684
