I think I know basically what I need to do, but hopefully someone can help me with the commands or point me at a better way.
Today My LCD died. Backlights come on but screen does nothing.
Phone boots and is running fine. Just no display and no touch screen. I've tried pulling the battery about 100 times.
Phone has Nill's ICS Sense 4 ROM
Device is S-ON and HTC Unlocked
I want to return it to stock ICS before taking it to VZW for repair or replacement.
What I assume I need to do:
Relock(I can do this)
Put the RUU on the sdcard(I Can do this)
Boot to Hboot and fudge my way through the update process(this I'm iffy on without a screen).
Can anybody help me with the exact commands from Hboot? OR is there a way to do this from abd or any other command line from my PC?
Thanks in advance.

You need to relock, then get into fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
then put the PH98IMG.zip into the folder with adb and fastboot on your pc and then type
Code:
fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip
wait for that to finish and you're golden :good:
Good luck sir

You forgot to tell him to run the ruu twice.
THANKS! Running now, though I'm not sure I'll know if it worked since I won't have ADB or screen capture if it worked or if it's bricked. Either way,this thing's only 3 months old VZW is gonna eat it.
Update: OK I think it worked, seemed to boot for a while without the charge light, now the charging light is back on and I can turn the back light on and off. Hopefully that means it's sitting at the setup screen.
Thanks again.

why do I need to flash twice?
It does seem to have worked as stated. Actually looks like the touch screen is working as I am able to unlock and power off the phone once booted and then i can boot it back up. I think I'm good, though I may try to enable adb if I can figure out the touch locations.
Update: OK WOW, the RUU I flashed(latest) has adb enabled I guess, I can adb and get screen shots and I am at the android setup screen. AWESOME. Thanks!!

Hey,
I have an HTC One X+ with a little issue:
The phone does not boot up to a rom
I can access the boot loader (HBOOT 1.32)
ADB can't see it (Or I just suck with adb)
AAAaaaand recovery looks like its been wiped.
Help?
You can't use adb at hboot, you may only use fastboot (and only if the bootloader is unlocked). If your bootloader is indeed unlocked then you can use fastboot to flash a new recovery, and then use that recovery to flash a rom. How exactly did you manage to wipe the vast majority of your phone?

I've been reading up. I actually was handed this by a client. Never flashed a phone before, so was just picking up after them. Thanks very much for the fast reply. He says he was following a Youtube video.
On another note, whenever I try to flash the update.zip I get an error:
Archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
Archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I imagine it's a fairly straight forward fix, I just don't know my way around (yet).
Tried dumping EMPTY *.txt files in. New error!
Archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
Archive does not contain 'recovery.img'
Archive does not contain 'system.img'
error: update package missing system.img
Help?
Do you know what the devices CID is? If not you can use the command "fastboot getvar cid" from fastboot. Once you know the cid, search the forum for the correct RUU. Once you have a compatible RUU, conect device to PC while in bootloader and run the RUU. This will restore stock firmare.
Also before you flash the RUU. Make sure the devices bootloader is locked. If it is unlocked. You can use the command "fastboot oem lock" to lock it.

If your phone is bricked this is what will happen. Your phone will shutdown immediately, refuse to start, and the LED will flash red and green when connected to a charger. If this is not happening, your phone is save. Now, clear all ROMs in your phone, make it empty, no ROM, no data. Then, lock the bootloader and flash the stock HTC ROM that can be found in the ROM's thread. This error could be because your flashed an AT&T ROM for an international model, or vice versa. Also, flashing mods that are not for stock ROM can lead to this problem. If this problem cannot be solved, then my advice is to forcefully brick your phone by flashing an incorrect recovery, then bring it to HTC and tell them that for some unknown reason the phone became very hot and stopped functioning. They will believe it as there is a very very powerful engine inside that phone that has every chance of overheating. Good Luck!

That's an outdated ROM. Consider getting the new ones that have arrived.

Still having that red blinking light issue. Problem is, it doesn't take a charge. When I connect the phone up to the wall, it just gets hot and the led blinks red. I've thought about removing the battery and wiring it directly to the charger, but I'd rather not void the warranty (more than I have already).
Thoughts?

u can try unplug turn off and on phone power button down volume down get to bootloader usb plug in and out ur charger while phone is booting to bootloader and get it to where it shows red not blinking let it sit i played with mine 2 days finaly got it back but its only the begaining..
AW: Powers off at boot, except bootloader
Are you unlocked and with custom recovery? If yes just go to recovery from boot loader and let it sit on the charger. Now it should charge unless you have some old twrp version with broken charging.

Yes they fixed off mod charging on twrp..that saved me..
Have you tried to flash the correspondent ROM kernel? In fastboot if you unplugged the usb wire, can you access the recovery mode (menu will change)? If so, which recovery and version it is?

When my HOX+ was blinking red I had to let it charge for a few hours before I could use it again. Did you wait long enough for it to take a decent charge?
Hello, my phone into a brick. Energy installed firmware and immediately after I put Atrix-CM9-Kernel-026b1-ext4-1.45GHz.zip BUT my phone Ruby! I do not put on my device and not for its firmware.Now the phone does not turn on the charge lamp is not lit. The program Amaze_All-In-One_Kit tried to enter the bootloader, but the computer does not see the phone.Drivers installed, HTC Sync is a new version. S-OFF, root, 4EXT.
If I press the volume button down + power button did not work.
What else can I do? Throw the phone? Sorry, I do not speak English.
Well I believe you bricked your phone because of the atrix kernel. If the phone has warranty try sending it back but just tell them that the phone will not turn on & nothing else. If you do have warrenty pm me if not dont.
Y the hell would you flash a kernel from a different device!?!? I think you might just be the first person to officially "brick" the Amaze. I would do wat Justin said, hopefully it is still under warranty. If not, well, then things aren't looking too good

Two separate times & idk why but my phone broke maybe from a brick maybe not bit the point is that I called up my carrier & said my phone will not turn on so they sent me a new one & did not charge me anything.
My phone is not guaranteed. Are there other ways to restore it?
Friends. Who will help with the acquisition of the motherboard for the phone and send to Russia? I'll pay. Please. The phone is very good, but the parts for this model in Russia, no.

Have you tried pulling the battery, letting it sit a minute then put it back in? If you do get it to come on make sure you have a copy of the RUU on your sdcard and have it named PH85IMG.zip and go to the bootloader screen.
I don't have a solution for you, but this poses an interesting question, and that is how can flashing any kind of kernal affect your phones bootloader? I am still learning the ropes here, but my current understanding is that to brick an htc loaded with android, one would have to either flash a broken radio or bootloader file, through the bootloader itself. How can a kernal affect the boot sequence? Just wondering.
Need help. To restore my phone, need an image of the system.
file: "Full flash htc Amaze 4G PH85110"
The image can be copied using the "Riff"
Hey, to make a long story shorter i tried to root it but did not succeed.. fully.. haha, well it all went smooth until i wanted to go in to recovery first time
after unlocking bootloader, i couldnt get in there, so i erased cache and tried again, and different methods then i started to try to flash another recovery img, didnt want to work and still i could not get in to recovery.... tried to lock and unlock bootloader and other things and nothing....
So i did it from scratch,. but i couldnt even do factory reset from bootloader, couldnt do anything from there really... and then it didnt want to boot normally for some reason, i might just have been impatient but... so i started flashing in another boot.img.... dont ask me why but in the end when i felt there was no more hope i started flashing in everything i had, more or less.. what i think got f'ked up is the Kernel.
i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 and used that all in 1 tool most of the time, but also tried manual commandands via fastboot..
.
when it locked up totally, it didnt want to boot normally after that i could just get in to bootloader, so i sat all day yesterday putting posts in different threads in several forums so dont say i havent looked ^^
i didnt get any answer anywhere in time and it got uncharched, and was dead since yesterday so i gave up, until today, i couldnt charge it.. but i tried now and from nowhere i could get into bootloader again but this time with too low battery to flash!!
and i dont think its charging properly, dont know why exactly.. so im just sticking the usb cable in and out while its powered off since the red Led just light up for a sec when inserted then nothing, just to maybe get some power in there...
so im kind of at a cricis here, and would need help since i dont have anymore time to try to fix it
dont know exaclty what info you need, dont want to boot in unneccesary right now so just ask if u need any numbers or whatever..
i bought it very recently here in sweden.. dont rly know what more information i can give
Would surely appreciate some solid help!
Sincerely, jeff

Your battery is critically low.
As already advised by lloir... Just plug it in to the charger, and may forget for a good 24 hours so that the phone exists....

Once charged, you could download the correct RUU, flash that, and restart from scratch. You may have to relock the bootloader using Hasoon's toolkit. After that, its not complicated - use Hasoon's kit to unlock again, flash the correct recovery, sideload a ROM and boot up your phone.

i have the correct RUU on my desktop, i searched for ages before i found it, but this is an .exe and starts a program for me and have failed at the last part.. i cant try it now so i can see what it said and i cant remember exactly at what step it failed.. i came like halfway in to it
or do you mean the ruu.zip version? to flash it manually into the device?
did you relock the bootloader? the error message might help

seriously, you need to read atleast a little bit - a million people before have posted exactly the same questions, have had answers posted umpteen times. you need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU.

Hi All,
I got my HTC one and was playing with it for some days and decided to root and make it a google play edition. I did the following steps
1. Unlocked BootLoader from HTCDEV
2. Rooted and did S-OFF (Using REVONE)
3. Was trying to update MID to the GPE and tried to flash the .zip having the MID, CID using HBOOT and phone froze at RUU
4. I did a reboot and now phone is not turning on.
When I connect it to my PC I could hear the sound of it recognizing my phone but nothing is showing up. ADB and FASTBOOT not recognizing the device.
Does it mean my phone is hard bricked>??
If so, is there a JTAG service for HTC one?? The bootloader is still unlocked and i wont get anything from HTC as my warranty is void
Please help!!

Did you flash eng hboot?
Did you flash the eng hboot? Isn't that the only way to change MID? or no? if you can try to boot into fastboot that way. I did the same thing with mine and thought i screwed it up. you should be able to rebootRUU and reflash the tmobile firmware to get you back on your way
Mine did the exact same thing. In fact I never saw the gray spotted screen. You just have to do a combination of button holds while plugging it in.. and it will boot. I had to hold mine for almost 2 straight minutes
You have to manually boot back into RUU mode..it has very specific instructions when flashing ehboot. Why would you go through all the trouble of a MID change when there are many awesome gpe roms? When I changed my mid I could only tell it was doing anything was because my computer made that connection ping.. otherwise the phone screen stayed completely black!!

Hi handman29,
I wanted the stock GPE ROM mainly for the direct OTA's from google. Could you please let me know how to manually bring back RUU
Does your phone show up when you type fastboot devices? If so you should be able to get back.
