[Q]Need serious help: Cricket Failed Root

I have a Cricket HTC Desire C and I tried to root it but I know I messed up because the adb thing never worked and now I cant even factory reset my phone.I tried looking for Stock recovery/kernels but I only found found a recovery.img that allowed me to open Recovery;
After I boot my phone or try to Recover or Factory Reset, I get a red message under the giant HTC saying
Code:
This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.
I've been up for over 8 hours trying to just restore my phone to stock...I really need help.

That is a normal message for the splash screen in which we get for unlocking our bootloaders, as far as i'm concerned, the cricket Desire C is CDMA so the usual recoveries wont be compatible with it. Does the phone boot? The best person to ask for assistance on this matter is @soupmagnet as he also has the CDMA Desire C, prehaps he will be able to help you.

This is the stock recovery, but I don't think it will do you much good. A factory reset only wipes user data. What happens when you select normal boot? Does it give you adb access?

It gives me the message displayed in the first post; and No, my computer never did the adb setup; that always failed when I tried to root.
Okay I used my father's phone to make a video;

[Q] Phone stuck in bootloop after flashing recovery

Let me just start by saying I have spent basically a week scanning forums on this problem and none of their solutions worked for me, despite this being a fairly common problem. Regardless, here is where I am.
My phone was acting strangely last week so I decided I should just reflash the ROM and kernel to see if it fixed any problems. When I did that I got stuck in a bootloop that I was unable to come out of. I wiped the cache as well, but that didn't seem to help either. Once I had flashed the images both zips seemed to disappear from my phone's storage so I had to use fastboot to flash a new boot.img but that also didn't help. I eventually gave up and had to do an RUU which at least got my phone working only after I relocked it. My phone before said it was moonshine s-off, which was true, but after the RUU it reads "ship s-off RL." It seems that may be where the problem lies in not being able to flash any new boot images to it. I should also mention some of the RUU attempts failed as well before eventually succeeding at the part where it flashes the boot.img. Thanks in advance for your help!

help me

Did this work? my first has been in a boot loop for months. I can't get ADB, Fastboot or RUU to recognize the device.

Well I have a working phone if that's what you mean. If you are able to get your phone into fastboot you can go through with an RUU usually.

I with it some more last night. I did finally get ADB to work, but still no fastboot. Shop i was able to push in filters... i just have no way of flashing.

bootlaoder block you should have before making the ruu to lock the bootloader needs to enter fastboot, in fastboot type this command fastboot oem lock, try it on mac as it would not need to install drivers.

Ok this guide works for me!
the problem is this traslate for spanish, a don't speak english, i hope you fix your phone...

if u dont have anything nice or helpful to say then shouldnt u just shhh? u took the time to say nothing ,im sure that is what everyone cares to read ?

im going to use this to help other noobs like myself that gets courageous enough to try rooting , customer roms unlocking etc. seems easy to the tech guys but some of the lingo is not so easy and u can make one bad move , i hope i didnt
at any rate here is where im at , i did get twrp setup in fastboot mode so all i have is fastboot mode to do anything atm ,, it appears like i said i somehow wiped my whole operating system , how i dont know but i have one more thing i think from the help of others may work and that is use a micro usb otg cable to hopefully flash the rom back on the phone , wish me luck , unfortunately im not sure locally where to buy one , i will go look this evening , but in the meantime i did order one for a couple of bucks on ebay just in case i couldnt find one locally , i will update
anymore input would be thankful and helpful

why cant you hook it up to a computer? i see that your getting fastboot and TWRP? if you can get either you should be able to sideload from the computer what you need to boot up again.
if you only have fastboot. then load TWRP via fastboot and then from TWRP, use sideload/command prompt to pump a rom on and then voila you should be good. if you already have TWRP just start from there..

I dont know where yo are currently at but if you recieved your phone back with kitkat that means your bootloader was upgraded. Your phone will not boot unless you either flash a 4.3 kernel or you flash a kitkat ROM. Let me know if this info helps

after your sideloading the rom onto the phone is it running and are you going through the installation? if you are and its still not loading properly then you may have a corrupted SD. you can try running a RUU. i think you have an ATT phone? if your S-OFF you can try this file ATT Android 4.3 RUU EXE file
that is the full RUU. it should ask you to start in a fully booted mode. just go ahead and start in Fastboot. when you press start it just sends the command to restart phone into fastboot so you can inject from there. i might be able to find something else for you but for now try this(assuming your s-off XD)

[Q] HTC ONE bricked

A friend of mine has a T-Mobile HTC One and he bricked it, he asked me for help, knowing I'm very good with tech and android. But the thing is that I know everything but from Samsung, I always try to read a lot and learn from new devices to fix them or even try something because I'm always asked for help from my family, sure you guys know about that, but sadly I'm in finals and I'm barely sleeping and I've read a little but not enough but need I to help him so that's why I ask you guys for help urgently. Here are the things I know:
The phone is trapped in a bootloop after the Cyanogenmod logo and restarts itself after a minute
It is S-ON but unlocked
It is the M7_UL T-Mobile model
It is on HBOOT 1.56
The Radio is on 4A.24.32.63.09
The OS 4.19.531.10
It can still enter recovery and is recognized by my PC
From what I've read that has been a little bit, I can restore it completely with a RUU (kind of like a .tar in ODIN for Samsung), but it has to be Relocked and in other sites it says that it has to be S-OFF, needless to say that I don't know what tools to use and then I've seen that that Hboot 1.65 is not supported and well right now I have to create my SQL project, sorry to ask you guys as I hate when other do it just to not read but I swear this is not the case.
Help to fix this will be very appreciated

First thing, try this
Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
Then reboot.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)
What recovery do you have?
CWM has problems with 4.4.2.
The rom bootloops
Install twrp 2.6.3.3
Make sure it's for your phone.
If that doesn't work, do you know how to post a fastboot getvar all.

Yeah I've tried that. The thing that I forgot to tell is that when I go into Recovery mode it shows all partitions in 0mb including Internal Storage and says it doesn't have any OS installed although the Cyanogenmod Logo appears at startup

Need some help with my HTC One

Hey guys,
Long time lurker and only been doing the whole rom thing since I bought my HTC One last year.
I've been happy and enjoyed the phone.
Through a drunken stupor last night I made some mistakes and need to get the phone back in action.
I don't believe that what I've done to it has bricked it.
However, it is currently inoperable.
I'll try and break down exactly what happened and what I've done in the past few days that have caused this mess.
Thanks for your patience and understanding and most of all help up front, it's much appreciated.
So here we go!
I've been running an antiquated version of Viper ROM for the majority of the last year.
At this point I'm not even sure the exact release, though I believe it to be 5.6 or 5.7...
Having said that I went and updated finally and was able to successfully flash 6.20, and the OTA that followed.
My phone was running fantastic at that point and was super happy at the new features, etc.
Silly me, I had to believe that USB Fast Charge was not only a privilege but a necessity.
In my hazy recollection of mishaps I went ahead and tried to boot into recovery and flash ElementalX .17 on top of Viper.
Flashed with v2.6.3.3 of TWRP and things went smoothly or so I thought.
After successfully flashing upon booting I was hit with a black screen and only the capacitive buttons being lit.
In my rage and frustration I tried several things and it wouldn't boot.
Stuck in a loop.
So I did the stupid mistake up restoring a super old back up on my phone...
On top of that I messed around and thought I could some how bring it back to the dead.
It was my original Viper installation from all that time ago and this time there was absolutely no connection to WIFI.
The 6.20 version had been cleaned off the phone and now I'm sitting here at TWRP v2.6.3.3 wondering what to do next.
ADB is responsive, but drag and dropping files into the HTC One on my Windows Explorer has proven unsuccessful.
I'm going to post my basic related stuff below.
Let me know if any type of picture upload or what not will help in the process.
Thanks for being there XDA!!!

Turn phone completely off. Then press and hold the PWR button + Vol Down button, it should boot into bootloader. Select Fastboot the screen should change to FASTBOOT USB, now try the commands.

Thanks for being patient with me.
Hopefully I haven't bricked this thing.
I've added my thanks to your posts thus far for your assistance!
Cheers and a few more energy drinks and maybe we can get this thing going again, lol!

Here is an AT&T RUU 4.18.502.7. In order to run it you will need to lock your bootloader with the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Are you using Win 8.1? If so, fastboot will not work with a hboot 1.44. You need Win 7 or Ubuntu/Linux. You can run Ubuntu on a USB FAQ Q#5 and you would not have to install it on your computer.

I'm using Windows 7.
Will I still be able to lock my bootloader with it being unrecognized?
It's worth a shot!

If you use Ubuntu, you just need it to lock the bootloader. You will need go back to Win 8.1 to run the RUU.exe. Ubuntu can not run .exe files.

Check out this FAQ Q#2, it might help you get your phone recognized.

This is a long shot, but run the RUU anyway. It should fail but it might reset some things to allow the PC to recognize the phone.

How can I get the RUU on the phone though since it's unresponsive.
Do I need to push it somehow, or sideload...
What would be the best method to approach doing that?

With the phone connected to the PC. Double click the RUU file. It will start and walk you through the process. Some people have found that the file should be in the adb folder.

Device is recognized again - went ahead and dragged and dropped Viper Rom 6.0 onto it.
Right now it's flashing it and looks to be working smoothly thus far.
Fingers crossed!
You have been a gentlemen and a scholar for helping me through this.
I really do appreciate it man - you have been really great.
Much <3!
*PS*
6.20 Viper Rom in the house, huzzah...
This is a dream come true!
Now in the future I need to be more careful to keep this from happening again, hahaha.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I tip my hat to you sir...
