Hi, I made some mistakes, and now i have semi-bricked phone.
I can go to bootloader, my DNA connects with PC, but I don't know what to do as, without any rom i can't do anything
I know that this seems noob but I would really appreciate help
I tried RUU, by it is giving mi signature error 12
Thanks
Can you go to recovery, and do you have a rom file on your phone?

No, I can not
What happens when you try to load recovery.

I thinik I could try loading recovery, but what to do next? How to transwer a ROM file from PC to DROID?
adb sideload romfile.zip

Ok, I'm sorry for such a topic, but RUU form exe worked. I hope that if someone will end up with similar thing he can just read that the RUU in executable is best solution.
Thanks for help

I am coming from a Droid and to boot into recovery if it boot looped or anything it was power + x then it was in CWM. But I am unsure how to get into recovery if it boot loops on my tbolt. Sorry for the noob question!

To get into cwm you hold volume down as the phone boots up, then select recovery. Make sure you don't have a pg05img on the root of your sd card tho because it will automatically try and install it, resulting in your inability to select recovery.

Thank you for the help. Last dumb question. What's a pgn05img? So many new things to learn on this.

Not dumb, but it shows you've not rooted...
It's basically a stock rom/rom-update image file. If the phone sees one on hboot, it will overwrite your current system with it.
If you've rooted your phone, you put two different versions of it on the sdcard at some point in the process. If you forget to remove it or rename it after finished rooting it could be problematic.
If it does get bricked or bootlooped is there a method similar to odin, or rsd to unbrick? This is my first HTC device. Thanks

Brick means there is no recovering. You toss it and get another one.
As long as you can get into bootloader, you are not bricked. As posted above, the correct definition of a bricked phone is a phone that will not boot anything including the bootloader. This goes for any phone from any manufacturer, not just HTC. The phone ultimately is a paper weight at this point, and there is nothing that can be done, unless you have money for a JTAG device. I'm not even sure if a bricked Thunderbolt has been successfully revived with this device. Someone else will need to comment on that.
Now if you mean recovering a phone where its OS no longer boots, yes it can be re-flashed through bootloader (full RUUs and Radio) or recovery (custom ROMs).

Thanks for the help. Is there an app similar to odin or rsd that is run from the pc or is it all done through the phone on HTC?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Most work is done on the phone itself. In case of a non booting OS, the computer is only needed to transfer ROM files to the root of the SD card and to check the MD5 checksums. Custom recoveries such as Clockwork Mod or Aman_Ra will allow USB connections to set the SD card as Mass storage in case of a non booting OS.
Odin and RSD are flash programs, where as our phones are capable of flashing themselves without use of a flash program.

that answered my question perfectly. thanks everyone for all the help. im new to the bolt and came from the charge and must say that i am really happy already with what ive seen
To reach the Hboot where you can flash a recovery ROM turn off your phone hold volume down to reach this screen any flash should be named PG05IMG.zip

Here's a great place for you to get started. Read everything in it. It explains how to root, unroot, flash, troubleshoot, etc. This should answer anymore questions you may have as you continue to explore.

Yes it is needed as this is the flash file. The correct file name is PG05IMG and it is a .zip file. Full stock RUUs and Radios must be named PG05IMG (if when you DL it and it is not then re-name it)
Any file with this name MUST be flashed through HBOOT (bootloader). Just remember once you are finished flashing, you need to delete the flash file from your SD Card.
Custom ROMs are different in that they do not need to be renamed however they MUST be flashed through Recovery and not HBOOT.
Sent from my brain.
Ok so custom roms can be flashed in cwm. Does this include rooted stock roms or are those still in hboot with the pg05img.zip file?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Sorry for the late response but yes, rooted stock ROMs get flashed in recovery.

Been trying to unlock my mophos bootloader and I've been very careful to make sure I do it right and not brick my phone. I installed RSD Lite 4.9 but when I plug my phone to the usb and reboot into rsd nothing happens, my device isn't listed either. Am I missing something? (Using Windows 7 64 bit.)

If you are on 2.3.5 you cannot unlock. If you are 2.3.4, download the Root-Unlock-Relock pack (links located in the Photon Compendium). It been available since April and has RSD lite 5.6.
Yes I am still in 2.3.4 and rooted. Would I have to get rid of my root to unlock the boot?

No you don't. Did you install the drivers?

Yes I did install the drivers. I managed to run the unlock tool but couldn't execute the fastboot command. Downloaded the file but every time I try to extract the files I kept getting a diagnostic error message...

If you pulled the files form my site you need to use 7-zip. Rezipping them in a standard zip format is on the list but it will make the files larger.
Thanks guys for the help, I have my bootloader unlocked after several tries. Only problem now is that most of the pictures on my sd card are now corrupted. Has anyone experience this too? I was under the impression that this process wouldn't affect my data while the card was still mounted so I didn't consider going through the trouble of backing up. In all honesty this wasn't worth loosing my files. But thanks anyway...

It was actually stated to remove SD card while doing this although my SD card wasn't affected

This all happened while I was trying to flash the MIUI rom. Went through the configuration and when it said I was done my phone never recovered from the boot image screen. So I tried flashing a few more times and even picked a different zip file all to no avail. Kept getting an "error while flashing boot image" so I decided to do an advanced restore. When it was all said and done my phone came back in but most of the data on my sd card was corrupted. Hopefully I will be able to recover my pics and stuff...

Hi Marz, does this mean I should stop trying the Photon Torpedo method since the only tidbit of files I need is the photon-torpedo.tar which I am waiting for someone to upload again before I try to work with my 2.3.5 Photon? ;(
Thanks,

Your Software/Firmware version is 2.06
Moonshine will work, it's how I got S-Off on my third DNA.
The first two I did the hard way.
Follow the instruction EXACTLY.
You will have to download the latest SDK tools and the correct drivers.
You must have ADB and Fastboot working.
Turn off your Firewall on your PC.
Uninstall HTC Sync.
This is all in the instructions. If you can't get it to work, maybe you shouldn't root your device.
Maybe tell us what error your getting????

If ADB and Fastboot both recognize device, then your drivers are okay.
Fastboot drivers are broken on Windows 8.1
Windows 8.0 and earlier work okay for me.
USB 2.0 port. Do not use a 3.0 port.
Did you unzip the archive before running distiller?
