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 went to take my evo off the charging dock and then went to wake up the screen and when i do the whole screen is in rainbow, snow pixel. like all i can see normal is the status bar. i can boot and reboot, boot into recovery ( but cant see anything except the very first line on the top of the screen) but the screen is just messed up. it looks like one of this old tv's that when they loose connection they get white and black snow except mine is colored snow.

The same problem with my GSM Evo 3d:/
What ROM, Radio, kernel are you using? LeeDroid V5.3 and LeeDroid V4.2.1-1.94GHz-KERNEL, radio - 10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06 in my case
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/543/img20120225140835.jpg
I noticed that when I removed battery and tried to boot, in the beginning screen was black and then was LeeDroid's boot-sound and when phone is supposed to ask for my PIN code the rainbow-pixel screen appears.
Could anyone make step by step instruction how to reflash ROM? I cannot see anything so I need all information (like push vol down two times). I hope it might works

really... LCD Failure... how would i fix that... here are some pics. I am running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456793 on version 1.3.
so i will post pics, and do you think rogers would be able to fix this problem or would it cost a hell of alot of money?
I'm not convinced that it's LCD failure. LCD is working (in a strange way) and in my case touch is working as well. In my opinion it might be motherboard (or anything that controls LCD). I'm going to try changing radio, rom and kernel - maybe it will work. But I really need your help with the step by step guide I mentioned in my previous post.
ok, so what are you going to try and do, are you going to try and reflash a rom?
like i can try and give you instructions, but i need to know what you want to do.
EDIT: I have downloaded and tried to run the RUU for My rogers htc evo. it is installing the rom, stock radio, and what not. so when it is done i will update and post back if that worked or not.
UPDATE: Installing the new RUU did not work, the screen is still messed up im guessing its a hardware failure. im going to try to bring it into rogers and see if they will do anything to help me out.
Something new, now my screen is completely black (but i can hear that touchscreen and touch buttons are working).

I don't want to start new topic so I'll ask here:
Could anyone please help me with going back to stock rom?
My LCD is still not functional so it'll be unusual guide.
1. I open cmd and run adb reboot bootloader command (with stock rom in PG86IMG.zip file)
2. Does phone starts in fastboot or bootloader? If fatboot I need to press power button right?
3. Now phone should check for PG86IMG.zip file, what should I press to accept flash?
4. Now few minutes for flash
5. And what button should I press to reboot?
Is there any easier way to flash stock rom without working LCD? with adb commands maybe? please help me guys

Your in diagnostic mode. Hold down the power button for 45 seconds then press the camera button twice it should reset the phone.

Guys I have a problem. Is there any way to switch on USB debugging without working screen? I need to s-on my phone and I cannot use adb without USB debugging. My touch screen and touch buttons are working though so maybe someone could make screenshots how to switch it on? I'm on stock ROM now.
Or maybe there is other method to use step 5 of this tutorial without USB Debugging?
And one more question, If my phone doesn't connect with computer in bootloader/fastboot, does it means that I have s-on?
As of late, my 3d turns on but nothing shows up on the screen. The capacitive lights turn on and it does the quick vibrate when you power it on. Other than that, it shows no life. It randomnly started doing this, does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Pull out your battery, put it back in, and try charging your phone for about 30 min without turning the phone on. Then try again. Report back.

Additional info: When the phone is "on" my computer recognizes it, and I can tell it to boot into bootloader using adb. The phone is 100% stock, hboot 1.5 s-on. Also, after the phone is on, and I hit the power button, the capacitive lights turn on, and they shut off once I hit the power button again, as if the screen was being turned on, but it just doesn't display anything.
Also, is there anything I can do to possibly get the display back on. Something like put a stock ruu on my sd card, name it PG86IMG.zip, reboot into bootloader, apply the ruu and perhaps that would bring my display back on? Or is it more likely hardware related which I will have to take the phone apart?
Having the phone on the charger while off didn't change anything. Now I am flashing the latest stock ruu, while it's updating the phone's display SHOULD be on showing the status of the update, but it's not displaying anything. The update completed, the phone rebooted on its own, but again, the display never turned on. Not sure what to try now..?

This happened to me when I flashed a incompatible kernel......now all you need to do is flash a Rom and also flash the boot.img from that ROMs zip using fastboot and you will be good to go.

is your phone's bootloader unlocked with htcdev.com?
If you haven't unlocked your phone yet then I can't say for sure if flashing Rom and kernel will work or.not......
If you haven't unlocked , just use a RUU.exe and your phone should be working again unless its a hardware issue

I rooted my Sprint HTC Evo 4glte and everything went fine, but I then I just installed 3DChainfire app without thinking.. installed it and when the phone restarted. My Phone would go to the Pamper page and after that it goes blank.
I would turn the power on and it would make my buttons flicker and then goes back to the pamper (HTC brillantly quiet) and shutsdown or goes black.
Is there anyways to reset the phone or somehow to get the phone back to the stock settings? Thank you for your help.
Looking on Chainfire3D on Market need Root which you have but S-OFF is also needed on HTC devices. After root did you also unlock bootloader? I am certainly novice but this might be the problem?
You can run the ruu it will take you back to stock, if you made a backup nows the time to use it.

After trying to run the RUU, it is stuck at reading the bootloader. After a minute or two it will say that the port or USB is not plugged in right. I plugged it in and everything is okay. It errors. My Phone screen will load and stay at the screen saying HTC.

Unfortunely I did not unlock the bootloader.
anyone able to help me? If there is any other solutions let me know? I also wonder if I bring it back to the store will they give me a new phone or no? Thank you.
Did you relock the bootloader before trying to run the RUU?
Through fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
Thanks everyone for helping me, I was able to find the solution to fixing my HTC EVO 4G LTE. I just had to load up the bootloader (by pressing power button+volume down button+ camera button) on my phone and reset it back to factory settings. Everyone works again now! Still ROOTED so good to go!
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?

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.

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!!
