I had it converted into a Google Edition last night, but the MID was still not right so I tried to change it this morning, and now my phone is completely inresponsive except for I can get into the bootloader, fast boot etc.
Anything else I try to do just goes to a black screen, whether it's RUU, reboot, recovery etc.
Please help.
Thank god, I fixed it by just running commands even though it was a black screen not RUU.

I am smart enough apparantly to get myself into trouble with flashing and rooting...I thought i had a pretty good grip on this till this happened.
I know you guys are working hard and my problems are small and silly in the grand scheme of things, if I missed something in my searches I apologize, I looked for hours and found one other post, but that persons issue was slightly different than mine. I own a Htc vivid ( holiday, raider) I was originally running the stock ICS ruu, I reflashed to the Pre-rooted ICS rom, it froze due to my "fiddling" with the font settings. I tried to flash back to the original ICS RUU, when the Prerooted version would not take on my phone. Everything seemed great until it froze at 34%. I have attempted to boot into recovery (volume - and power) and get nothing but the black screen with four triangles in the corners and the HTC logo in the middle, I am using the original USB cord, I have tried rerunning this from a few different computers with it only to get stuck at the 34% mark again and again. I would love to get back to ICS pre rooted again, but at this point I am close to tossing it in the microwave for a few seconds and warrantying the phone out. Advice? Suggestions?
I appreciate any help thrown my way, as I said I know you guys are busy making awesome stuff happen, and my problems are small by comparison.
Thank you ahead of time!
Another member was (could still be) having what sounds identical (RUU stopping at 34%). Not sure if he's gotten it fixed, I do believe TheCubed is helping him with it still, you might hop on IRC (Freenode, #htc-holiday) and talk to TheCubed when he gets on.
If you manage to get back into the hboot try to re lock your bootloader and it'll reset everything if memory serves me right.

other user with same issue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581902
might want to follow that. I don't have any suggestions at this point other than the last suggestion in that thread. IF you can get to bootloader, try relocking bootloader and running the ph39img that thecubed posted to restore to GB, then try running the RUU.
Did you try to run the RUU while you were unlocked???? You need to be locked to run the RUU
Could it also be a bad RUU download? I would try downloading the RUU again, from another server if possible, and see if it gets stuck at the 34%.

was on viper rom. accidentally wiped too much. tried to ruu back, but versions didnt match. got the correct version, everything SEEMED to go how it should, but instead of the expected 10 mins or so, it was like an hour and a half. i've tried to fastboot, nothing. just stuck on the black htc screen. i dont have recovery either.
please any help or directions would be greatly appreciated
Look HERE
so i took a 2nd attempt to flash another rom using a different recovery as recommended and i messed something up real bad and i have no clue what i did wrong nor have i ever had this happen. i changed from twrp to reg old cwm recovery and now my vivid boots up and turns off, boots back up and stays on the white htc screen. i tried flashing different kernals and now i cant even get into cwm. as it boots into recovery, it blinks as i can see one line of text and barely any of the logo its so quick.
so how the hell do i fix this? ill unroot my phone and factory reset it back to non rooted status.
anyone know how can avoid this?
oh and im s on.
i believe htc has software that resets your phone. anyone care to share a direct link? i had it before and i cant find it. i want to unroot my phone anyway cause battery life sucks, even setcpu does nothing and i just a BRAND NEW OEM htc battery and still drains like counting down seconds.
thanks
Good morning XDA participants.
I have a very big problem and I think that I converted my phone is just a paperweight.
After a lot of tries of change s-on to s-off, I was not able to do it. For some reason, I think that was a little tired and boring, I did something and now my phone doesn't load OS. Just turn on and stay on the HTC screen logo, I can enter to recovery but after try factory reset the problem continues.
Could be possible recover the phone? Or I have to forget that Will work again...it's just have 3 weeks

as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP recovery, you can push, sideload or USB-OTG a ROM onto your phone
more detail in the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
if you have further questions, post back here
Could you please help me? I flashed and stock rom but seem that something is not good. My phone start but screen doesn't work.
I like my Sprint M8 and I've avoided messing with it because I'd hate if it got bricked. It got bricked. In my pocket. Somehow. Seriously, I was using it like normal, put it in my pocket for maybe a half hour, then took it back out without having even moved from my seat and it's off. I assumed it somehow died but when I plugged it in it became obvious that wasn't the issue. It doesn't really seem to care what I do with the buttons, but eventually it'll end up in fastboot mode and nothing else. Any of the options just result in a black screen. Sometimes I get a charging screen though. HELP.
Bump

Destiny oi? maybe you should have really messed with it lol.
But were you able to enter recovery? You could try factory reset from there

Only goes into fastboot. If I try to hit recovery or factory reset, or basically anything that goes outside of fastboot I just get a black screen. I just bought a new phone (Pixel) so it's not a big deal, but I still really like my M8 and if I can fix it I will.
I have run into that a few times with mine and Was ALWAYS able to fix it .
Its just being stubborn. If you have Fastboot you can FIX IT
Is it rooted and bootloader unlocked

It's totally stock and unrooted. I tried RUU about a thousand times, every time it gets to the rebooting into fastboot or whatever stage where it times out and fails because the phone takes minutes to turn back on and go into fastboot no matter what I do with the buttons, even if I don't touch them at all. My battery was fine, I think. Still lasted the whole day just fine. Stays on when I disconnect it.
