Flashed OJM's rom in TWRP, and now my phone won't boot at all. I can't find my NANDROID backup I made, and I cannot mount internal storage and when I plug it into my computer, it says that the internal storage needs to be formatted. Am I just screwed or what?
you have access to bootloader or recovery? Also, RUU is likely an option (last resort, of course)

wow
internale storage corrupted
try formatting it thru hboot if its possible. i think there is something of the sort
try it

or try ruu
does it mount the external storage in TWRP? if so why not just put a rom on that and flash it there?

Yes it does, and I put one on and it just won't flash it. Keeps rebooting TWRP

Did you happen to be playing around with the kernel as well? and how was it flashed?
I hope your Blocks aren't bad nor un-writable, for the message given to you will not be able to fix.
Very easy fix

I screwed up the same way the very first day I got the phone. The eMMC on this phone tends to get easily corrupted. The fix is extremely easy. Just click Format. Then Flash ROM. Done.
If you do not have custom recovery installed please google how to do it using Android SDK through fastboot.
The good thing about Android phones (and particularly HTC) is that short of dropping an actual brick on the phone it is really hard to "brick"it. I am yet to see one hopelessly dead.
This is in detail:
1. Boot-up into recovery
2. Mount internal storage
3. Connect to a USB port on a computer
4. Right click on the Removable Disk (X where X could be any letter depending on your computer. Format. Done. Disconnect from PC.
5. From within TWRP recovery install the ROM you have downloaded and put on your External microSD card. Do not forget to select "Using External SDCard" before flashing.
I think I'm in trouble. PLEASE HELP!

JEWEL PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT – 1.12.1111
Radio – 1.02.12.0427
Recovery – TWRP 2.2.2
ROM – CyanogenMod 10
I tried to upgrade to TWRP 2.3.1:
Download - Bootloader Method:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jew....1.0-jewel.zip
Download the file above and rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sdcard. Boot into bootloader and accept the update. Boot back to the ROM and rename/remove the file
Everything went well and the update was successful. However, my phone is stuck in a boot loop – clocking on the Cyanogen boot animation (the word “CyanogenMod” in the middle of a circle going clockwise on the outside and counter-clockwise on the inside). I let it run as long as 30 minutes - - no luck.
I am able to long-hold the power button to bring me back to the Upgrade screen. If I hit yes <VOL UP>, it updates successfully and asks to hit power to re-boot. If I hit no <VOL DOWN>, the upgrade is aborted and I am asked to hit power to re-boot.
I‘m thinking my options are:
1. Try the “RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter” to get back to where I was
2. Try the 1.13.165.1 RUU to get back to factory and then re-root.
3. ???
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Gary
Did you put it on the internal or external? If you put it on the external card remove it and reboot to bootloader. This is why I tell people to flash recovery manually
I think I would try and return back to 2.2 since it was working great there and "restore", and find out for sure if my DL source was actually from TeamWin or if any compatible issue may occur with installing or upgrading to the new recovery.
Since you 1.12.1111(modified), just remember that you have to be stock 1.12.000 and s-on "if" you are thinking to go the RUU route.

As long as the update is on the card the bootloader will be stuck trying to install it and reboot or reboot if install is canceled so trying to downgrade is pointless and I don't know if ruu will even recognize the phone in the middle of an update
Try a full wipe and reflash your rom
If the user has an update on the internal the bootloader will be stuck trying to update, no access to recovery
Not bricked.
Great diagnosis bud, any ideas? Even with bootloader attempting to install, is fastboot accessible?
I FIXED IT. Thanks to Tekn010933, {ParanoiA} and om4. Since the new "PJ75IMG.zip" was on the card, it would continue to loop. I figured I would remove the sdcard. I knew there was a chance of corruption, but I removed it and got into TWRP. It was 2.3.1, but I reloaded 2.2.2., updated it to 2.3.1, clean full wipe, NAND restore and back in business.
This was the most scared I've been since I started rooting (my Hero, my OG Evo and my Evo 4G LTE).
WHEW!!!
Here I was thinking you pushed it to internal, well I asked but didn't get an answer so I assumed lol
bricked htc evo 4g sprint
phone will not turn on and when i hold the power button for more than thirty seconds the orange lcd flashes five times then to off again cant even reachthe bootloader screen any help please!!!! i have two years of warranty so worst case senario is i bring it back it and get a new one but if any could help me soon would be greatly appreciated

So I decided I needed to update my phone. I installed the new firmware and everything went perfect. I decided on this rom (I am S-ON). After installing the rom I ran the other zip for S-On users. It then told me my Main Version was too old. I remember doing a fix for this months ago and saying I won't have this issue again. Now I am sitting at a white HTC screen thinking my phone is completely done for. With the firmware leak and all that all my backups seem to have been deleted. Any suggestions?... I am in dire need.
-Still sitting staring at this white htc screen. I literally am out of ideas. I did everything perfect and this happened, I'm so sad. I specifically remember doing something regarding MainVer's awhile back so I would never have this problem and now I am here with a broken phone. This blows ... Suggestions?!

If you are s-on, it is nearly impossible to be "done for". Probably user error (no offense) but you probably had a file named incorrectly or it didn't flash properly. I just got to work and can't really help you right now, but i know someone can. Just don't worry, you'll be fine. Like i said, it's far from "done for".

Easy fix.
If you don't have the ROM on your computer anymore, download it again. Extract it and copy the boot.img to your ADB directory (if you don't have ADB, you need to get it lol.) Plug your phone into your computer, then just boot your phone into your bootloader, go into recovery, wipe everything 3X to be safe. Install the ROM, reboot into bootloader (make sure you're in fastboot USB mode.) Open up command prompt, CD to your ADB directory and type in fastboot flash boot boot.img. Reboot, and enjoy. If you have any issues, let me know.
In addition to Chyrux's useful post, I'd recommend keeping backups of your phone's storage on PC and possibly cloud storage.
If you got the time, or a spare SD card to get phone running in the meantime, might want to try a recovery program to get those nandroid backups and files off the SD card. I'd suggest Piriform Recuva for Windows, use the Deep Scan option.
I used to have ADB but don't anymore and downloaded the "noob proof" thing that allows you to do everything. Although you can't really use it without your phone turning on. When I press the volume down button it tries to install a kernel and said "Main Version Old" and makes me press the power button to reboot. I do have Amon Ra installed. I haven't really messed with the whole phone thing in awhile and have tried to educate myself by reading and reading and am a bit of a perfectionist. I don't know where I went wrong.
-I do know that I am on the new firmware w/ ICS
-I do know that Amon Ra is installed.
-I don't have a backup because everything seems to have been deleted.
-I suppose something went wrong during the installation process with RezRom S4 2.5
-I currently have no idea what I am doing. I am not stupid, nor do I expect handouts. I am fully capable of reading threads and usually fixing all my problems on my own. But, without a backup and me not being completely familiar with adb and my phone stuck on a white htc screen it makes me a bit timid to do anything else without some direction.

Lol I feel your pain. I don't have an SD card reader, so situations like this usually blew. But, there's a bright side: you have an internal storage unit. Let's try something basic. Take out your SD card and plug your phone into your computer. Reboot into your recovery and mount your USB storage. Tell me if you can see your internal and can access it.
So this is where I get stuck at; I appreciate that idea and will try it shortly (at work at the moment). I basically have no access with my computer and phone via usb because i am unable to get past hboot.
2 things happen as of right now:
-I press the power button and it sits at the HTC white screen forever
-I hold volume down and the power button and it tries to flash a kernel and says my Main Version is old. (When in fact, I know I did the MainVer fix while back; frustrating)
So with those 2 things only happening, is your suggestion still to yank out the external? I wish I had a microSD reader to wipe it and put a new rom on there and then figure out how to access amon ra and get passed this mess.
I took 2 min off work to yank the card out(the external, that is) -- I was able to reach recovery. I went into the mounting section of Amon Ra where I was able to see /sd-ext and /sdcard, both of which I got the message. "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1) (No such file or directory)

And for that matter, I have gotten in the habit of lifting my battery out at an angle, pressed into the contacts still to remove and insert my SD card on the fly for when I get these lingering PH98IMG.zip files. Pop out, go to recovery with a ninja grip on phone, and pop SD in lol.
I know Amon Ra Revamped 3.15 recovery has an option to delete those zips.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23169557
Need to try reflashing that zip again in recovery perhaps, maybe RUU undid your Misc partition Mainver fix.
In any case... What your white bootloader screen says would help troubleshoot.
(Sorry for constant edits)
When you flash a new kernel the mainver is changed to what that kernel's is. I'd it's a newer number then when you try to flash something with a older number it won't flash. So every time you flash a kernel it is a good idea to go ahead and redo the main version fix

The white screen text I showed you was without the external sd card in. I feel like the only solution right now is to buy another external SD card.. put a rom on it, and then flash it... maybe that's the solution since I can't access this SD card and it seems to be ****ed with a mainver problem? Although, even with a new SD card I don't know how I would flash the mainver fix?

Okay, you are following the guide of the RezROM to a tee I take it. Have to ask which AmonRa version did you install? I got the same mounting errors once and had to re-flash the recovery to AmonRa 3.14 to detect the mount points properly.
And yes, should be able to use fastboot commands with ADB to push the recovery, the Mainver fix, etc. That is the key communication tool you have barring any other access in your situation.
I'm am not anywhere remotely close to a PC and a bit rusty too, will try and find the ADB commands for that.

Those lines I typed were without the SD card in the actual phone. I did install the newer version of AmonRa (3.15 for ICS and GB) In the actual recovery with the External SDcard out I did some scoping around where you're able to delete the kernel install, but that would leave me still with a broken phone. I need to be able to access my SD card and put a new rom on it i'm guessing? I don't even know what the **** I'm doing anymore.
wow.
put THIS file on your sd card. then do the update in HBOOT. once your are back up and running flash the main version fix. then get s-off
*EDIT* just saw where you can go into recovery. Okay. Here comes the fun part. I'm not well-versed in the mainver issue and this method can brick your phone, so be careful. Just what I have for now.
Start by having your SD card out (but on your desk, just make sure you have it lol.) Boot up your phone into the bootloader and go to where you can access your recovery, but don't. Here's where you can brick your phone. Pop out your battery and leave the cable plugged in (you'll have power still going to your phone.) Now, put your SD card back in and put your battery back in as well. Boot into your recovery and mount USB storage. From there, delete the update file using My Computer.

I think his issue is that he can't access his SD card because he doesn't have a reader/other device to use.
Ah... That makes sense. Maybe another sdcard, then? I'll put the set mainver low file in the dropbox later today and send a link. If you can use a second sd card and put it on that he can fix it. I think.

Nah, he won't have to. Granted, my method is a bit...unsafe lol, but it worked fine for me. he just has to be careful and he'll be able to take the file off. Glad you have the fix cause I don't, though. So hopefully my trick will work and then he can use the fix.
If you get to the point where you can get into recovery, flash this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/79523435/SetMainVersionLOW.zip
Then flash your rom and kernel as per normal.
so I copied the JB RUU zip into the root of the sdcard(internal) and when I go into bootloader...it doesn't see it...any suggestions? i'm on hboot1.12
Ruu packages don't run from the bootloader, and never place any update packages on internal memory. Should anything go wrong you will be stuck in a seemingly endless loop of updating and rebooting. The ruu zip needs to be run from the desktop with the phone in fastboot. Unlimited.io has the directions on running the ruu zip.
can you help me with how to get my phone back to stock?
i'm rooted, bootloaded unlocked and running a custom ROM.
when I've tried to relock the bootloader and run the RUU from Windows, nothing happens...it just freezes.
what i'm trying to accomplish is to get all the latest firmware and radio without s-off...i can't do s-off because i don't have a windows 7 32-bit computer. i know it's a bit of a runaround but i figured i could go back to stock unrooted with the latest release and then reroot, unlock, and then load a custom ROM again with the latest firmware and radios...

Actually that's not exactly true. If he has an RUU.zip he can flash that through fast boot. You'll need to place the RUU.zip in his adb folder on the pc. Open a command window there. Then type
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
Only RUU.exe files can be run from the computer. And in both cases he'll have to relock his phone before he runs or flashes anything.

You really should s-off. You can definitely do it on a 64 bit computer by booting a live CD of ubuntu 32 bit on a 64 bit computer. It's totally supported. Head on over to the dirtyracun thread. Or go directly to their website http://unlimited.io. They offer live support via there IRC channel. The link to their channel is right on the first page of their website.

Thank you for repeating and elaborating on what I said which was ruu zip is run from the desktop with phone in fastboot
when i relock my phone, my phone gets stuck in the bootloader and won't do anything, won't be recognized by the computer, and just gets stuck there with a "security warning". i can't get into recovery or anything...i have to re unlock it for me to be able to do anything. so how can i run fastboot through the computer if my phone is unrecognized by the computer when relocked?

The bootloader will only scan for the PJ75IMG file if it's in the root folder of your external SD card. It won't look for it in your internal storage. Remove the SD card and delete the file. You can then put the card back in your phone.
What were you trying to update?

No problem. Actually happened to me at work a few weeks back and didn't have access to a computer. Ended up pulling my SD card and putting it in a co-workers' OG EVO so I could delete the file.

You know....you could've simply removed the SD card, then boot into the bootloader. After it finishes the scan for PJ75IMG, reinsert the SD, then boot into recovery. That's what I always do.
That way, I'm not forced to use another device, or boot back into Android (if I didn't wipe my OS).

Actually, the problem was a little more "involved". I got stuck in a boot loop trying to install the Sense 5 port on my phone (this was after I had done the touch panel driver update after downgrading it previously) and I forgot to delete it. Every time I booted to the bootloader, it automatically scanned for the file on the card, so I had no way of getting into recovery. I keep all my backups, etc., on my SD card, so removing it and booting the phone wasn't an option at the time

Forgive me if I don't fully understand your situation. This has happened to me many times with the touch panel zip. While I'm in the bootloop, I remove my SD. I boot into the bootloader, then reinsert it. That's when I boot into recovery. Simple and easy.
I don't mean to dwell on the matter, but I'm sure that someone will run into this problem while they have no pc access or alternate solutions for an extended period of time.

Trying to upgrade the HBOOT to accommodate the new partition layout, I did the following:
With the Jewel disconnected from the USB...
Booted into hboot/bootloader
System started scanning for PJ75IMG. Finds it and starts update.
Finishes update and tells me to press power to reboot.
Stuck in HTC white screen for at least 10 minutes, as of 9:53 pm EST
Is there something wrong or do I need to wait longer or what?

There's no Rom for it to boot to. You have to flash the TWRP recovery from Capt's if you haven't already, and then flash the Sense 5 Rom of your choice.

:highfive:Thanks. I guess I freaked out. Went back to recovery and TWRP 1b was installed, so I just cleared partitions, installed ROM and there it was. I should flash phones more often to get much more familiar.
... and then again... now after ROM flash, it get stuck on the ROM's splash window (Beanstalk 4.4, new partition ready, digital roaming fixed). GRRRR
SOLVED - It seens I didn't wipe partitions. Once that was done Beanstalk started set-up. D'uh
Anyone that could help me out with this, I would be so grateful. I am new at this, this is my very first post, and I'm looking up to you guys as my super hero! I have checked threads for the past 7 hours and cannot find out how to fix the following problem. I have found threads addressing similar issues but always find something that is slightly different and cannot help, I think I have a unique situation.
In a nut shell, my current objective is to restore the phone back to factory settings.
-Phone WAS running on Sense 3.6, ICS 4.0 <-ICS came preinstalled with the carrier
- I succesfully rooted the phone via the 'Hasoon Amaze all in 1 kit', downloaded 4EXT 1.0.0.5RC3, and tried to load the Cyanogen CM 10 jellybean rom
-Where it was stuck on the Cyanogen splash screen
-Figured out it was because my phone was set to S-ON via the bootloader screen, which HTC prevents cutsom roms from loading apparently
-Could not figure out how to remove the CM10 rom from automatically loading up, so I figited around in the 4EXT, and wiped everything
-Current Rom (according to 4EXT is 'Unknown')
Where I am right now:
- Stuck at HTC splash screen
- Only things I can access is the bootloader and 4EXT ( via battery out, volume down at restart)
-Cannot connect the through USB to modify the anything on internal SD card (I cannot access the phones internal drive through the computer)
-Cannot access SD card through 4EXT (it cannot locate it)
-I have tried to factory reset from the bootloader screen - takes me to 4ext. I have tried to factory reset from 4ext, takes me to the frozen HTC logo.
-With not being able to connect via USB, I cannot load anything else (zip files) onto the phone from the computer.
I have no idea what to do now Did I delete some important factory recovery file when I wiped the phone from 4EXT?
The idea was, that I'd install Jellybean as a ROM, I don't like HTC sense, I wanted google now, and I failed. I would REALLY appreciate it IF you can help and are in Toronto, beers on me.

since your phone came ICS preinstalled it'll be a lil easy choose the correct carrier and download the Latest stock ruu from there and Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your external sd card. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button.once your in bootloader it will prompt you to install, select yes and then it'll flash then flash 4ext after that..when your flashing another rom always run this super wipescript from 4ext..it is IMPORTANT to do a full wipe before flashing another rom..

Hey Ravike - thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. Remember, I am new, so please correct me if I am wrong understanding what you mean in this solution. Do you mean to say to follow these steps;
1) Get an external SD card from a store (I do not have one)
2) Find a way to load the said .zip file on to the External SD card (I cannot transfer the file from computer directly to the external SD card via phone USB connection as it is not showing up as a mounted drive in My Computer - I would have to have a friend put the file onto it some other way), then insert the card into the phone
3) I am a little curious about this one -- And once the file is on the external SD card, load bootloader (on the phone) and bootloader will automatically recognize that this file is on the external SD card and prompt me to install it? (Again I am new, but from what I've seen it just doesn't seem like bootloader has that kind of functionality -- prompting)
4) If step 3 is true, it will end up putting me into 4ext.
-If you confirm these steps, then what happens after I end up in 4ext after step 4)? What happens and where am I in my quest to reset to factory
-If you do not confirm these steps, would you be so kind as to detail where I went wrong?
I just want to as sure as I can before going out to a store and actually buying an external SD card.
Again, thanks SO much for this, I really do appreciate it.

1.yup you have to have a sd card dont buy a huge one even 2GB is enough (i'm using a 2GB for flashing n stuff)
2.well try the option called ''toggle usb storage'' from 4ext it mounts your int n ext sd card on pc aswell if it doesnt work then ask one of your friends or take a card reader or something?
3.well when you boot into bootloader most of the times your in fastboot mode so make sure your in the right mode the option you should be seeing will appear as ''fastboot,recovery,factory rest,clear storage,simlock image crc'' simply all you have to do is go to bootloader option and press power button
4. try it first :good:
Soubds like you dont have smartflash enabled in 4ext... or did I miss that part somewhere?

Hey Again. Still stuck. Just a quick note that my carrier is Mobilicity. Here is what I've done so far since we last talked.
1) I got an external SD card
2) I loaded the file within the link you gave me "OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_DAVE_CA_2.14.1800.6-1.45.1800.2_R_release_263099viknauioz1fkgotb.zip" ,and renamed it to "PH85IMG.zip", as you said (I think - this is the zip file in the link Latest stock ruu you provided under Mobilicity) on the root of the external SD card
I note that there is another file in that link under mobilicity named "RUU_Ruby_DAVE_CA_1.45.1800.2_R_Radio_1.09.550L.11v 2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227348_signed.exe"
3) Bootloader recognized there was a file there and tried to work it's magic but it failed and took me back to boot loader.
Which file do I rename to PH85IMG.zip? The exe or the zip? And what to I do with whatever file happens to be the one that I am not renaming to PH85IMG.zip? And where do I put it?
To answer the other fellow - I have tried enabling smartflash either way. And the CM10 rom is gone now. So is the stock rom. There is no rom running at all. It's just the HTC logo screen and does nothing. I can access Bootloader screen and 4ext through bootloader, but that's it.
THANKS!!!

Thanks Ravike! Still stuck though brother!
1) How to I 'relock the bootloader'?
2) I'm soooo new, what do you mean by 'flash it'? What's the procedure for flashing in this situation?
3) Also, what do I do with the other exe file or is it not important?
4) Is there any settings in 4EXT I need to ensure are on, or mounted or enabled?
Other things to note (may be useful for answer):
- When I rename the zip to PH85IMG.zip and go into bootloader, the following shows up in HBoot:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking
PH85IMG.zip ... parsing
Then it brings me back to the default bootloader screen and back to where we started. This may be where your solution of flashing comes into play of 'relocking' and 'flashing'? I don't know, hope you do!

Okay, somewhat good news (I think)...
I did manage to relock the bootloader in fastboot using the all in one toolkit. It looks like yes, it will send commands via fastboot mode.
In HBoot, It did something differently this time....
It used to say:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking
PH85IMG.zip ... parsing
Now it says:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking <-----this time with a yellow progress bar
Then it takes me back to the bootloader screen.
- tried to hit recovery (which usually takes me into 4ext, and it reboots the phone and back into bootloader)
-Factory reset also reboots the phone and back into bootloader
-If I go into fastboot, and hit reboot it also reboots the phone and back into bootloader
-At one point, I saw the yellow status bar on the HTC logo screen and it took me back into bootloader
-Each time it goes into bootloader, it follows the process of detecting the zip file mentioned above, but then it ultimately puts me back into bootloader
So now, here is where I am,
-The bootloader is relocked
-HTC logo/splash screen no longer freezes, yellow progress bar appears in top right corner and puts me into bootloader
-Cannot seem to access 4ext anymore
-Able to send commands to phone via All in 1 kit 3.2 with phone connected in Fastboot mode
-RUU zip is on External card, which gets read in Hboot, but throws me back into bootloader mode
Keep 'em comin' boys! I'd be so grateful if we could solve this! Are we almost there yet? LOL

Hi everyone, I've seen you guys help out so many other people I figured I'd give it a try.
My HTC Rezound is not working. I can't charge the device while off. I can't start the phone (Flashes the HTC logo, screen goes dark for one second, then stays at the HTC logo. Luckily, I have an old Thunderbolt, I have been able to charge my battery through that, and access the bootloader using the power + vol down method.
I have never rooted my Rezound and have been using stock since I got it, here is what I see in my bootloader:
***LOCKED***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23. 10. 0123R/2.23.10.0124R
OPENDSP-V14.6.0.7708.00.0507
EMMC-BOOT

Under that I see the regular Bootloader menu. I cannot use recovery, factory reset or clear storage, because it fails and I get the E: Can't mount /data/data/recovery/log error message. I tried downloading a PH98IMG.zip file, but when it tries to load it I get an error saying that the version on the phone is newer than the one on the SD card, and it won't update (Don't know if that's an issue with downloading things from before Sep 20 2012, but I havn't found anything post that). I can't use the RUU updater because my computer will not mount/ recognize my phone, I downloaded all the HTC sync stuff, and my computer beeps and says that there is something there, but it fails somewhere in the process and nothing sees it. I also tried to push it with ADB, but I get the same issues, CMD will ask me to attach the device and I can't get past it.
So that's where I am, I can get to my bootloader, but I can't do anything via the RUU exe, ph98IMG.zip file on an SD card, or ADB/Fastboot. I'm stuck.
I am willing to try anything, and will give any other information you guys need if you think you can help. Meanwhile I'm using my old cracked Thunderbolt that lost it's 4G capability, I feel dirty.
Please let me know if you can help! And thanks in advance!
If past your warranty or if you have no insurance on it. Go to the htcdev website and unlock the phone.

Hi everyone, I've seen you guys help out so many other people I figured I'd give it a try.
My HTC Rezound is not working. I can't charge the device while off. I can't start the phone (Flashes the HTC logo, screen goes dark for one second, then stays at the HTC logo. Luckily, I have an old Thunderbolt, I have been able to charge my battery through that, and access the bootloader using the power + vol down method.
I have never rooted my Rezound and have been using stock since I got it, here is what I see in my bootloader:

The fact you've kept it stock and it won't let you get past hboot or the HTC screen and you can't do anything via hboot tells me it's dead.
You have the latest hboot, there is no RUU/firmware zip available to let you re-install everything clean.
You're probably gonna have to get it replaced.

I was able to unlock it using the method on the htcdev website.... what can I do with it now? Bootloader looks the same, but says **UNLOCKED** at the top of the screen.

Download TWRP at http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2102623&d=1373341752
Extract the .zip and place the .img file in the same folder as fastboot. Use fastboot to flash it. The command is going to be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you done that. use command fastboot boot recovery.img
Go to backup and create a backup
After that finishes backing up. Download http://vp-zp.com/snuzzo/kernels/rezound/sense/Funky-Kernel-v3.7.3.zip and place it on your sdcard. You can mount your usb drive inside TWRP recovery.
After you have copied it over. Install that zip from the sdcard and it should go through the steps of being s-on since you are s-on. Then reboot phone

When I ran fastboot boot recovery.img the phone when dark for a second, went back to the fastboot menu, but now at the top of the screen above ***UNLOCKED*** there is a *** TAMPERED*** but no recovery menu. Is this ok?
EDIT: I went into recovery and see the new menu. will update once finished.

That is fine saying TAMPERED. Just means you have something custom flashed. Hit the power button and go into HBOOT. Then select recovery in the list.

Well, I sincerely appreciate the effort. It seems like the internal storage somehow got damaged, can't imagine how that happened. At least I have a thunderbolt to keep me until I find a new phone. It could be worse.

Yeah, same as anything else, can't mount E.
In TWRP try to mount internal storage when plugged into a PC. See if formatting would work.

It doesn't sound like your internal storage is completely toast. You are able to boot into the hboot partition and the recovery partition, the others may be corrupt and reflashing the recent RUU may help. Try to s-off to be able to RUU recent and older RUU zips (stock IMGs)

There's no recent RUU to flash, that's part of the problem, none came out for the OTA update and you also need a running rom installed to s-off.
OP - What happens if you try to format the partitions via TWRP?

Won't mount anything to format, just will say can't read. I can however go through the file tree. Somehow the internal memory got semi-fried. I don't know what happened.
im having a very similar problem except none of my computers will recognize my phone so i cant re-unlock my bootloader any suggestions
Hello all,
So I am having an interesting issue with my Rezound which has served me well for the past two years. Last night while I was browsing the internet I got the warning that my battery was going to go dead. Ignored it and kept browsing, eventually causing the phone to auto shutdown, fine, I have a spare battery (love removable batteries), threw that in and it started to boot but gets stuck at the white "HTC" loading screen. I am able to get into HBOOT and get the following.
*** LOCKED ***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S_ON RL
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

eMMC-Boot
Sep 20 2012,17:40:22
When I try to do a factory reset it will act like it is going to start, showing a phone with a green circle and an arrow, and a loading bar. Then before the loading bar begins to get filled in at all (it is just gray with diagonal lines) the green circle changes to a red triangle and an exclamation point.
If I try to boot into recovery I get the same phone with a red triangle image.
This phone is 100% stock unrooted and untouched in any way save for disabling the stock bloatware (I didnt even root it to uninstall that!). AFAIK there was no OTA update done to it yesterday, and I have been using it every day up until now with no real issues.
Simply just the battery died, and now it wont boot. Any ideas?
I am having the same issue on my wife's Rezound. It died last night and went into the same bootloop. Tried a factory reset to no avail. Phone is stock with the same info as previous poster in HBOOT.
I'm familiar with some android development, but know nothing about HTC phones. If somebody could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
So I have tried running the stock RUU, no dice, I was already at the latest version.
I then unlocked my bootloader through HTC dev and tried to flash AmonRA so I can do custom ROMs.
Now when I go into my bootloader and select "Recovery" the white HTC screen pops up with a brown progress bar in the top right which fills up quickly, then the phone turns off and that is it until I remove the battery (wont respond to power again after it turns itself off).
So it would appear flashing AmonRA did not work either. Next I will be trying CWM.
Thanks for the update. Keep us posted if anything works. I just don't have the time to learn and try everything right now.
So I got CWM Recovery flashed successfully, but when I boot into recovery and try to wipe I get format failed and mounting errors.
Could my eMMC have been corrupt? How can I fix it?
EDIT: I also get cant mount and cant open on /cache, /system, /sdcard from inside the CWM recovery
Have you attempted to s-off and ruu down to an official exe?
Sent from my DNA using my mind.
I have not done s-off yet, would that fix my mount issues? I am now running TWRP recovery, that also is unable to mount anything. I appear to be having issues with the /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 etc areas. At this point any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have put a good 12 hours into trying to get this thing to boot. I feel like I am close and if I could just get it to somehow re-format the whole /block directory then flash a new rom it would would. Pushing an RUU from fastboot did not work, nor did running it from TWRP. TWRP gave me issues in the aforementioned mmcblk areas, and fastboot just says failed, I would guess for the same reason though.
Yes, if all else fails. RUU exe is the last resort
Sent from my DNA using my mind.
I found another phone for the wife to use for now. I'll try to s-off and ruu when i have some time.

Where can I find the instructions and files to get S-Off without access to a ROM and running windows? The JPBear instructions state Linux only and says I need to have a stock ROM.
OK, so from my research I will need to use Linux. Do I need the HTC USB drivers or anything or can I just take a fresh install of Ubuntu and run JPBear? Also, since I have unlocked my bootloader and (tried) to flash a rooted stock rom, do I now need to re-lock and try to run the RUU again? I did try that tonight (re-locking then running the stock RUU) but it still gave me the error that HBOOT was older on the version I was trying to flash.
You won't be able to run any RUU with being s on as their isn't one available for the latest OTA. Try wiping and formatting cache data and system with the latest CWM (Touch). Then follow flash instructions of a ROM for s on.

I have personally used the windows version of jpbear on a custom ROM to s-off my Rezound. It is somewhere in this forum. I was in a similar pickle and needed s-off to ruu. Albeit, my phone didn't have mount issues, so I don't know if ruu will fix your specific issue, but if anything will, ruu will fix it.

I believe an RUU would fix it if I can manage to get S-Off. I found an old version of ControlBear 0.2.2 for windows, when I run it it tells me to connect my phone and install drivers if I run from recovery. If I run from fastboot USB it trys to reboot my device into the ROM. So I dont know if JPBear will even work for me if I don't have access to my ROM.

you suggest I use fastboot usb to reinstall everything, is there a guide for this also? I am able to get to the white HBOOT screen to do fastboot USB, and I am also able to get into TWRP recovery.

Sorry for my noobness with flashing, last time I did any of this was when I unlocked/s-off my DINC which was very easy at the time.
EDIT: I notice also in that guide you suggest to start from inside the ROM, I am unable to do this. Will it work from HBOOT, fastboot usb, or recovery?

OK, I installed 2.6.3.0 and that is running. Still have mount issues but I am guessing that is normal at this point? I didn't try to wipe the internal SD per say, I was trying to wipe the cache and system to do a reinstall after the battery died and I was stuck at the white HTC boot screen.
Basically I am a noob and was just trying anything/everything to get it booting again. I found my old DINC now and am running that for now so I have some more time to work on it. On a side note, CM7.2 GB is still awesome.

so wait you are staying on ice cream sandwhich or lower? ok steps on 2.6.3.0 to get internal back is first go to wipe>advinced wipe and tick internal sd only...then swipe to wipe...youll get an error and thats ok....do the same method again except this time you'll notice it says emmc instead of internal sd....now go to mount option from main screen..then make sure only internal sd is checked and right below all options make sure it says Storage: Internal SDcard (size in mb) if it still says micro sd just tap on that area to change it....tap mount usb and plug into pc...reformat in windows using administrative tools in control panel or if it shows in my computer do it that way.....if you are staying on ICS or lower STAY WITH AMON RA ONLY...twrp and cwm is meant for jb and higher on the rezound....if the above method doesnt work...install amon ra and moun usb that way....you will have to fastboot install the recoveries obviously

I have not decided what ROM I want to run, for now just getting it booting on the rooted OEM rom is fine.
I tried that method and it did not work. It does say unable to mount /emmc, but it also comes up with unable to mount just about everything else. Nothing shows as mounted under mount from the main menu (I have my SD card removed for now) and when I tap Internal SDcard to mount it I get unable to mount /emmc in the console.
I tried AmonRA first, flashing through fastboot usb, and it did not work for me. When I would select recovery from HBOOT the phone would go to the white HTC screen then the screen shuts off but recovery never comes up. The phone just got hot and would not respond to power button so I pulled the battery.
