[Q] RUU - Stuck to "HTC" on screen - HTC Desire C

Coucou !
I need to put my HTC Desire C back as new, therefore I looked for RUU stuff.
I checked this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035480, trying to follow it the more I can. HTC Sync as well as Android SDK (up to date) are present on my laptop using Windows 7 64.
1. I re-lock the phone: fastboot oem lock.
2. I downloaded the RUU from: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Golf, file: RUU_GOLF_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.00.401.2_Radio_10.11.98.09H_1.06.98.13M2_release_295101_signed.exe
3. I ran with administrator rights the RUU til first screen, asking for agreement.
4. I extracted the recovery_signed.img and flashed it. Fine.
5. I followed the instructions on the screen.
6. It says (translation from french, sorry if it's not exactly what you'll have on an english screen): "checking", "rebooting to bootloader", "waiting for bootloader", "erase user's data" and finally "sending". On my phone screen, there is a white HTC on a black screen.
And it is stuck there. I waited for an hour, still there.
When I disconnect the phone, it says:
- On my computer: error 155: error to image update
- On my phone: a white RUU on an orange background, under classical "*** Relocked ***" (and sometimes "*** Security warning ***") and "GolfU PVT SHIP S-ON RL", then "HBOOT-1.31.000", then "RADIO-1.10.98.15", then "eMMC-boot", then "Jul 12 2012, 15:44:30".
I followed the instruction to "recover" (correct ? button at the bottom and righ of the window), nothing good. I restarted the phone, the laptop, nothing changes.
What can I do?
If you want, I can take screen captures to show you.

i think you also need to flash the stock boot.img

Coucou Bogdy,
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your answer. But, sadly, it didn't work.
I flashed the boot.img, extracted from the "temp" directory , like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I ran the program and the same thing, stuck on HTC logo, then started the repair stuff, and again stuck on HTC logo.
Does somebody have an idea?

you could also try flashing a stock rom+boot+recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220396&page=2
from what i experienced with a stock based custom rom is that when activating data connection the phone restarts(radio versions differ) so this could happen with a stock rom(not sure)
as for the RUU,i've read that if the hboot version on the phone is higher than the RUU's it won't flash. also i think that the RUU you have only works on european CID but i could be wrong.
you should wait for a more "PRO" answer

Thanks again for your answer, Bogdy.
I'm downloading from the link from the post you suggest me. When it's finished, good or bad, I'll come back.

Coucou !
Well done. Now it's OK, I could flash the original ROM and the phone works perfectly.
Thank you for your help.

You could also do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software
you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
no need to flash anything recovery or boot if it's an .exe
if it's a .zip you need to :
flash via custom recovery and flash boot and recovery via fastboot

Coucou Makerrr,
More or less, it is what I've done. I haven't check if adb were working, nevertheless. So it may be the cause of all my problems. But I won't know because I followed Bogdy's way and the job is done, the phone is completly configured, and already in my wife's hand.
Next time, I'll try your way. So thanks a lot.

I need HELP, HTC One (M7wls) Sprint

Okay, first thing first. (INFO ON PHONE) I have a HTC One (M7wls) Sprint 36GB phone. Phone is ROOTED.
bootloader:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.05.651.6
eMMC boot 2048MB
What can I access:
Fastboot
ADB Sideload
Recovery - I am using custom recovery - openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls
Now the problem is:
When I install a ROM. Every ROM that I use didn't fully complete installing. When it boot up, can't access home screen, like i can't even do nothing, If I'm not making any sense what I'm trying, basically I don't have no OS-install. And when I install a ROM and do the ADB sideload and install em I just can't get to the home screen , farthest I can go is the lockscreen, but then that don't even act right, as in either it don't want to slide up (by the way my screen work and digitizer) or its blank/black and I can even slide it up, or as i should say froze for about few sec, AND when i can slide up the lockscreen it goes to the white HTC logo screen and stays there about 45-60sec and Reboot over and over, until i go into either recovery or bootloader and power it down.
ROMs that I've downloaded and install but don't completely works:
- Android_Revolution_HD-One_51.0
- One_4.19.401.8_odexed
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Odexed_05.17.13
- Sprint_HTC_One_Stock_Rooted_Odexed_3.05.651.6
- viperROM_One_v1.0.4
What I'm saying is that, for example of What I do to install:
-Boot in Recovery
-Format Data (so i can mount data)
-Erase cache
-Reboot recovery (so the updating partition data can refresh)
-Access ADB Sideload
-Install a ROM (once complete) i reboot the phone
-After all the boot up LOGOs, WHEN I get to the lockscreen it either , 1. don't want to slide up, 2. when do slide up goes to white HTC logo screen get stays about 60sec, then Reboot itself , and 3. Just done want to boot up
Also have Tried RUUs: and Yes I unzip to run the Ruu.exe
- Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU.zip
- Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
Also and Yes I re-lock my bootloader to run the RUU , still doesn't happen
I'm not sure which one have this problem, but one of em, Do go through the process and once I get to the part to update Image (I realized my phone image is newer than the RUU image) so i proceed anyways, then it comes to a screen where it say ERROR find the latest Update for RUU. THE second one of em , once i run the program and pop-up screen comes where you accept the terms & conditions, once I do accept it; It closes OUT by itself.
I'VE DONE THE BEST I CAN DO , and I'm very frustrated right now. I've look and look and research, But nothing solve my problem, and I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS LONG ARTICLE/QUESTION. But I'm asking for anyone help who can help me get back this phone back on its feet and I will very appreciate for your help !
P.S. I can't get S-OFF , I want to use my AT&T sim card in it.

I had a similar problem. Turned out to be a firmware issue.
Boot into fastboot and connect to your computer.
run "fastboot getvar all"
See what firmware you are running.
Pull the firmware from post #3 on Bad Boyz thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635051
and run.. the flash is there twice, make sure and do it twice.. it's not a typo.

If you still have trouble, try flashing an older firmware from here..

In my situation, I flashed to 3.05.651.6 and it would boot, but once I connected to the PC and tried to access the storage on the phone, it would reboot the phone.
Flashing to 4.06.651.4 fixed everything.
Look HERE for the 3.05.651.6 RUU or you can go thru the steps to fix your phone.
From now on stay in the Sprint section to find roms

When doing the fastboot commands, it gives me error twice when doing the firmware and YES I renamed it to "firmware.zip"
gives me error message saying "cannot open" and also re-type in command again , same error
hmm.. let me try to duplicate my error later today on one of my test phones and i'll get back to you.
What ROM are you trying to install?

Make sure it's firmware.zip and not firmware.zip.zip
Window hides extentions as least on my machine it does.
So rename it just firmware and see if that helps

That was my mistake, but rename it to "firmware" . now its working. Phone is back up on its feet. lol.
Just want to say thank you for your support and help. Phone is flawless, Thanks you so much again.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY !
I did the same thing by accident. Flashed the old firmware instead of the new by accident and then kept trying to update with the same problems. Since only the first and last digits of the firmware are different and I had them in the same folder I just grabbed the wrong one. All was fixed as with you when I corrected my firmware.

stuck, failed ruu no os

flashed twrp the other night, didn't realize it was the wrong version... apparently sprint needs a special one.
flashed the right one. somehow have no os now.
ran ruu which failed. now it's stuck on black htc screen with exclamations in all four corners.
tried to run ruu again, just says usb error.... don't know what to do next.

I recently had the same issue, you should be able to fix this by following these steps, keep in mind, continuing this process will unroot your device. Thus, you will loose all of your data on your phone.
first begin by booting into bootloader, then plugging in your device via usb cable to your computer, it should now say "fastbootusb" on the device's screen.
if you don't already have the the fastbooot files required for your computer, you can download them here: ftp.qbking77.(com)/Files/OneDrivers_Fastboot.zip
after that, extract the zip file somewhere on your computer, and open the fastboot folder. Now hold down shift and click on an empty space in the folder and choose open new command window here, or something along those lines.
Now that you've done this, type fastboot oem lock and press enter, this will relock your phones bootloader.
Now, unplug your phone from usb, and reboot back into fastboot, and once again, plug the device into the computer. Just as before, your phones screen should now say fastboot usb. You can now flash this file via fastboot by following the instructions below.
androidfilehost.(com)/?fid=23329332407568410
rename the file downlaoded to firmware.zip and copy it to the folder containing your fastboot.exe file
now in the command prompt window, type in Fastboot oem rebootRUU
you should now see a black screen with the HTC logo, type Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip,
once that is complete, type fastboot reboot and once more, reboot into fastboot
you can now download this RUU file from the following link: androidfilehost.(com)/?fid=23329332407573774
extract the zip folder somewhere on your computer
boot into bootloader, and once again choose fastboot,
plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer, and the phone should once again say fastboot usb.
now open the folder you extracted and run ARUWizard.exe, this will unroot your device and return you to stock.
now, if you wish, you may re root your device.
Hope this works, if none of this makes sense, mention it. I typed this up in a bit of a rush.
also, you will have to copy and paste the links, as I have not made 10 general posts, so I can't add direct links to my post. Sorry mate.
have issue with the first step there... can't boot into bootloader, i'm stuck on the black screen with silver htc letters in the middle, exclamation on all four corners. i'm able to turn off the phone using the flashlight trick, but when i boot back up it's to that screen every time. it's stuck there from a failed ruu, just don't know how to get un stuck...
okay, some more info here. I was running hboot 1.57 ( i did relock) trying to run ruu 5_03_651_3 i'm not even positive this is the ruu i should be trying to use. now when I try to run the ruu it starts going but every time eventually fails wtih windows bringing up an error that says htc_fastboot.exe has topped working. i hit close program and the rom update utility gives me error [171]: usb connection error
edit: and now after the sixth time of that failing i am able to boot into bootloader again! weird... and it says i have an os now... still wont boot up all the way, but it's no longer blank on the bootloader screen.
second edit: after getting the usb error again and again i remembered glossing over something about flashing roms not liking usb 3.0 or something... switched to a usb 2.0 port and ruu worked perfectly. now to try and get this thing rooted again.

[Q] HTC One, tampered, unlocked, S-ON, no OS, device not foun on laptop. Cluster****.

Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

My bad. Managed to run it, but then it crashes straight away. Can that have anything to do with the driver not installed?

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS
cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:

[SOLVED]Any hope?

So i was trying to get my at&t htc one back to 100% stock so i could send it in for warranty. I got my replacement htc one, but while in the process of going back to stock something happened the phone wont load into recovery, when it boots into the os it stays at the htc screen but plays the at&t boot animation sound, and to top it off the old phone wont connect properly through usb (the new one will just fine). So i am stuck in bootloader anyone have any ideas?

I don't know what you mean by I pushed the FUU and flashed it. do you mean you flashed firmware?
If you flashed a custom hboot with no red text you will brick the phone when you lock the bootloader.
Don't lock bootloader !!
Use this tool to remove Tampered and set to Locked

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538585
MD5: fdb8264a8f4741bae22939cd7734f7c2
at this point just flash the AT&T RUU
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
and see where your at.
From the Guide you linked
Before you can proceed with the 2 following threads for removing Tampered and then Locking you need to have Superuser installed. There are links to how to do this in each thread. You can also use this toolkit. Just remember to delete the SuperUser and busybox apk if installed before you return the phone.
2. - First remove the Tampered Flag. Instructions are in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3. - Second Lock the bootloader. Instructions are in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
The older REVONE commands/instructions for Tampered and Locking:
Now since you had to install SuperUser to perform the previous 2 steps make sure you unroot by deleting the Superuser.apk and busybox.apk (If installed) from the /system/app folder and also the su binary from /system/xbin on your phone.
If you ran a RUU your systems firmware and software is all reset back to stock. If you restored via Stock ROM reset or Nandroid you should be running the stock software but it could be on non stock (version mismatch) firmware.
In either case your bootloader should display Locked and no Tampered just like out of the box. Now all that’s left is to S-On. To do that issue this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Done - device should be just like it was out of the box with no indication of any modding.
*******I am not responsible for any problems you encounter. I am simply informing you of what is needed to complete a restoration to Stock. Read all steps and commands carefully and perform them in the correct order.********

are they both windows 8 computers ?
Windows 8.1 and hboot 1.44 don't get along
you'll have to use a driver hack to get it working
Both windows 8.1 like i said the weird part is one phone works perfect through usb the old one (the one i need to work) doesn't

yeah .. here's the driver hack to make it work
Download
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

im still getting the same issue with the drivers i made sure to manually install the files but still no luck.
Have you tried a Linux live boot disc? If you have troubles with Windows drivers, always fall back to Linux as it will always work if the device isn't faulty.

all you have to do is install the driver I linked reboot the pc
put the phone is fastboot USB mode and plug it into the pc.
if it's still not visible with fastboot devices
go to device manager find the failed driver / Unknown device
choose update driver / Browse for Driver / Let me Pick / uncheck show compatible hardware
Choose HTC on the left and My HTC Version 2.0.7.22 on the Right. ...Click next / click done ..

Manual system update instructions:
If you are outside of T-Mobile/Wi-Fi coverage, or the update is not found, you may perform a manual system update. This process requires that you download and install HTC Sync Manager first in order to get the proper drivers. If you do not have HTC Sync Manager installed already, you may download the software from http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/.
WARNING: Performing the system update manually will delete all information from the device. Ensure all information is backed up before proceeding. See the Help & How To section of this website for more information on backing up your device contents.
Performing the ROM Update:
1. Download and save the HTC One™ for T-Mobile ROM update to your PC.
2. Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
3. If the device is not recognized by the PC, ensure you have HTC Sync Manager installed and then disconnect and reconnect the device from the USB cable.
4. Once the device is properly recognized on the PC, locate the HTC One™ for T-Mobile ROM Update that you downloaded. Double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.
5. Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.
6. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.
7. Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.
8. Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.
Note: If the ROM update wizard fails to recognize the device, close the wizard and then follow the steps below:
· From a powered off state, hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the device.
· Use the volume buttons to scroll to FASTBOOT and then press the POWER button to select it.
· Connect the device to the PC while in this state and attempt the ROM update again.
To exit FASTBOOT manually, use the volume keys to navigate to REBOOT and press the POWER button to select it.

[Q] I screwed up big time and now my M7 is bricked.

So, I took a look around the forums thinking that maybe another newbie such myself did this thing but apparently I am one of a kind. So here is my story:
I have my HTC One M7 since the summer of 2014, I rooted it without any problems and unrooted it when the Lollipop update came out. After two or three days of the update, I had a problem where my phone would lose all sounds and would be unable to play any media that involved music. I thought it might be a software problem so I rooted it again and I installed the ViperOne ROM from the forums. Despite the fact that I really loved the ROM, the problem insisted and once/twice a day I needed to clear cache, restart the phone and if I was lucky it would go away on the first trial.
P.S. The problem only occurred when a call started.
This past Friday however, the problem wouldn't go away no matter what I did. My phone had lost all sounds and I couldn't do anything about it. Ringtones, alarms, videos, youtube, calls, even the bootup sound, nothing.
So I decided to redo everything from the beginning, in case I did something wrong and with the hope that it will just get fixed. Thinking that my software was the problem, I decided not to do a backup (please don't kill me I know it was a stupid decision) and to just wipe everything off, and do it from scratch. I re-installed viper as a first step but it didn't fix. I wiped the whole system and data partitions and installed the ROM again, nothing. Then I tried to install a clean HTC RUU and I found that the latest was this one
Code:
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_4.19.1540.9_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3
but it needed to be installed through HTC Sync and it just wouldn't work. I was getting a message that the phone was not connected.
Uninstalled HTC Sync, Re-installed HTCDriver_4.1.0.001 and downloaded a KitKat ROM from HTC1Guru site but when I tried to install it, I was getting an error message from the TWRP recovery.
Next, I downloaded Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.401.8, installed it, opened it, sound still wouldn't work no matter what. Also, while I installed the Guru Reset, I was asked if I wanted to also install stock recovery and I said yes. Since this ROM was able to be installed, I started doing the OTA updates with the hope that one of them might fix the sound problem. On the third update, the phone got bricked and stuck in a bootloop.
At this point, I can only enter bootloader without the phone crashing.
Recovery gives me a Red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
Factory Reset goes bootloop.
And the worst of all is that now my PC doesn't recognize the device and fastboot commands give me the "waiting for device" middle finger and I can't do anything.
TL;DR
phone got bricked and stuck in a bootloop.

Recovery gives me a Red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

Please help me I don't know what to do and I cannot send it to service to fix it because the Bootloader has the "Tampered" message on top.
This is what my bootloader has:

oops, that's the wrong RUU for you phone, I would also hazard a guess that the guru reset is just too old, the key for you is in the numbers, your current os is 7.19.401.2 its the 401 part which matters the most, the 7 part is also android revision, as your on 7, I would say 2 is very too old for your phone., the RUU you tried to use if you look at the numbers is android revision 4 developer edition 1540 (4.19.1540.9) hope that explains that a little for you.
The red exclamation mark is stock recovery, when you see that symbol, press volume up and power a few times and you'll get the menu.
well the first thing you need to do is get your drivers sorted, so uninstall HTC sync manager and the drivers now restart your computer, then re-download it, install it, and then go into add/remove programs and remove HTC sync, just above it you will see HTC driver package, leave that alone.
now boot your phone into the bootloader, fastboot USB mode and plug it into the computer, leave it alone to detect your phone ands install the fastboot drivers.
your going to need to download 2 files: your RUU zip and HTC's fastboot to flash it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554130 rename this file to RUU for ease, and also download this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891970, put both files on your computer in the same folder as your current adb and fastboot files, then just issue these commands, this will wipe your entire phone by the way, but I think you've probably already done that anyway.
fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
your phone should now say tampered and relocked at the top
fastboot oem rebootRUU black screen silver HTC logo
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip notice your now using the HTC fastboot, the normal one wont work for this flash
it take about 10 mins to flash, at the end make sure it says successful and OKAY, final commands are:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
phone should now boot, it will be a first time boot so may take a while

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
Thank you for your reply! I downloaded the drivers from the guide and it works. I'm on step 5 now and waiting for flash to end.
EDIT: So everything worked perfectly and I finally was able to turn my phone on again. Thank you very much for your assistance!
Bad news is that the sound problem is still here. I really have no idea on what would be the problem. Maybe it has something to do with the hardware and the whole Lollipop upgrade was an unfortunate moment. I guess I'll start another thread in the following days to see if anyone can help with that.
