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.
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
[UNBRICK][BETA] HTC Unbricking Project
If not, then JTAG.
That worked. Thank you very much SaHiLzZ.

Excellent
Basically I've been trying to root my 4 year old HTC one m7 and after finally discovering that the bootloader was locked I managed to unlock it with much hassel and managed to insert TWRP as a custom recovery screen (YAY)
Therefore thinking that I was being smart I tried to root the phone by Flashing SuperSU into it. However I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323 which is the wrong version for my phone =((
Now my phone goes through the boot logo and into a lit black screen where it doesn't do anything. I assumed this was a soft brick but i am currently unable to get out of it. I can get into fastboot and access fastboot commands but am unable to use adb commands while the phone is in fastboot. Keep getting adb server version (31) does not match this client (36).
Stupidly i didn;t backup a Nandroid copy and am unable to restore it(yes yes its stupid of me, now I know)
Currently using a Windows 10 Computer.
Any Ideas on how to get my phone going again?
Hi everyone, i made an account so i could ask this and i hope i can get advice .
I have a XT1900-4, bootloader unlocked and twrp installed, however . I made a factory reset and it got on bootloop at the logo, i could manage to turn the device off but my volume down key seems to not work so i cannot access fastboot using vdown+power keys, if i turn it on it keeps on restarting, showing unlocked bootloader notificacion and then the logo , to shutdown and repeat.
Idk what to do since my pc seems not to be able to detect the cellphone while is rebooting, so no adb reboot bootloader.
Any ideas?
I had this issue on an older phone I had (an Xperia X Compact). I let it die by just bootlooping until the battery was done, then I was able to get it into fastboot mode. Not sure if someone else will have a better idea.
Hey guys
I have this old phone that I would like to give to my friends young lad for him to show off to his friends and possibly play little games from the play store on it. However it is in a constant bootloop and I can't get it past the HTC logo. Sometimes, on its own, it will show the O2 logo, but then back to the HTC. The only way to break this is to pull the battery.
I have tried recovery in the boot menu (power + vol down when booting up), but alas, I get a red exclaimation mark and I can go further!
If anyone can help so I can get up and running with a fresh lick of Android on it, you will forever in my debt!
Hello.
Follow the guide on how to root and unlock bootloader for this phone. Have a ROM or backup on the phone ready to connect to ADB then use the command "fastboot oem relock" or "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. Then download and run the HTC RUU program. The bootloader will be relocked and the phone will perform stock.
