I think I've made the worse mistake anyways could make.
I deleted my whole OS off my phone so all it does is boot the the HTC logo and stays there. I still have TWRP. I have a backup saved on my computer but since I have no OS my computer doesn't show up a folder so I could put the backup back on the phone.
Am I screwed?
do you have adb setup on your computer?

How long does it usually take to backup? I've been sitting on the back up osh for like ten minutes. Haven't backed up my phone yet so I don't have any idea. Any info would be appreciated.

Also, while I'm on the subject. If I restore after I do the OTA update. I'm gonna lose the OTA update aren't I?

Sometime backup can take a bit depending on amount of apps, etc. I would give it some more time. And yes, you will lose OTA upon restore unless you back up after doing the update.
I'm unlocked which is why I backed up. ha. Crap. Oh well. I guess I'll just reunlock or something. I don't know. I'll figure it out. I'm not sure what I wanna do yet.
I have a HTC Rezound unlocked, S-On. I tried flashing over RevRom 2.5 earlier and continuely got stuck in a bootloop over and over. I am at the point now that i can't get back even to my backup. Says that there isn't a nandroid back up on my device. I have full access to Fastboot and Recovery. I am currently using RA-Vigor-V3.15. I have tried flashing older versions but phone will reboot. Any ideas? Thanks
Did you try flashing another Rom ..try that

I use the 10 x wipe then install rom

Did you flash the kernel installer
I have tried a couple times. When i try to wipe Data, it gives me a warning saying "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 (File Exists) and then says error mounting /data/.
When i try to flash another rom, it seems like Recovery reboots itself really fast and returns to main menu inside Recovery
i even have my nandroid saying "Restore Complete" but once it goes to reboot, all i have is a black screen.
Yes i did use the RevRom Kernall installer and thats when it first started getting stuck in bootloop. I gave the boot loop 15 minutes before doing anything because i heard the first time with RevRom took around 10 minutes to fully load
Did u flash the proper ph image for the Rom

Thank you so much for your help. I have been reading different forums and etc for 6 hours now. I appreciate your help more than you know.
Songs like you're on old gb firmware too? If you are you'll have to flash the old firmware patch too

When I tryed to flash MeanICS on my evo all appeared to go well until I rebooted. After rebooting I only got a black screen. I can still boot into bootloader which gives me hope. I tryed reflashing Mean and a couple of other ROMs but the problem persists. I was hoping someone may have had a simular problem and had a fix or workaround that I could try.
Thx
Check my guide I listed this exact issue in troubleshooting, if you have any questions after feel free to ask
Thank you for your help. I now understand the problem (bootloop, caused probably by the kernel) but even a full wipe using twrp I can't get any ROMs to load, and I was not thinking and didn't make a back up.
Download a ROM and verify the check sum then unzip and place the boot.img in your adb tools (or SDK depending on what you use) boot to boot loader and select fastboot (from PC terminal, sorry) type fastboot flash boot boot.img and then in recovery try to flash the ROM zip. Be sure to wipe dalvik, cache, factory reset and system first to avoid issues
---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
I just noticed you said black screen, that most definitely is a kernel issue but its a ROM base mismatch, you just needed to fast boot the mean kernel most likely
I had this problem literally yesterday. All you need to do is flash the boot.img located in the unzipped folder of meanrom and then flash via fast boots via pc or mac. Wipe everything first and then flash the BOOT.IMG. THEN FLASH MEAN ROM and wipe cache etc.

Yeah I read too quickly and missed the part about the black screen. I decided it was better to outline the whole process
ok i downloaded a new rom, verified md5sum, and unzipped the rom. i also downloaded eclipse and am linking eclipse and android sdk to try and make this a little easier, i hope. i feel like such a total noob, well for the most part i am.... i guess what i am saying is that i don;t know if i am removing boot.img from zip or if i'm just checking something on the boot.img using adb
You just need adb tools, you are making this a little harder then it needs to be

Hi,
I made a fudge... I had a couple of the bootloader flash files in the same download folder - long story short, I thought I was updating radios/firmware and it turns out I downgraded. Everything said "Ok" during the process, but after the reboot, I'm bricked. No lights, no response, Windows shows it as the Qsomething-or-another mode.
Is there any way to fix this - or do I have to take it into the store? I have TEP, but I'm afraid of what to say when they ask me what happened, since I have already customized my bootloader, unlocked via HTC Dev Unlock, etc.
Any pointers?

I tried this, and Terminal tells me that the phone is not found... and I confirmed through their IRC support chat page that this tool only works for bricks caused by their tool. Mine was caused by a firmware flash.
I was not sure thats why I said I would wait till someone would confirm. would you do stuff makes sure your usb plug in is plugged into the read of the computer where the usb plug is plugged into the motherboard not by a extension that goes to the front of the computer makes a bif difference in stuff like this.

You could look into this thread a little just some again this is something different but I not sure what the unbricker really does its a file ported over from the htc one x phone that worked on the htc evo lte since it iis very simular phone
Hi,
im new to xda, please be nice to me if I made a mistake..
I have (had) a rooted HDX 7" and I installed the Nexus Rom, but the Play Store wouldnt work - therefore I went to RecoveryMode and wiped: Delvic Cache, Cache and -> System <- (I believe thats the problem) and restarted.
Now I*'m stuck in bootloop - like not even the bootanimation shows up - only the "KINDLE" logo in the beginning shows up.
I can go to the Kindle Fire System Recovery to Factory Reset it but that seems to not work - it's still the same after the Factory Reset.
I also tried using ADB for it, but my devices isnt found and it is not showing up in "Devices and Printers" on Windows..
Can anyone of you help me ?
Can I send it back to Amazon and get a new one? Its only 1 month ord.
Would appreciate your help!
Yeah, I have the same problem..
Did you have safestrap installed? I DID but after reset, i dont see any safestrap? Not sure what happened there...

I think were in bad shape... Not botting into safestrap. and no devices found in adb.... i think we F*** up
---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
GOOD news... ( i am doing this as i type)
I managed to get my kindle to boot its own system recovery...
Not sure the button combination, power + up until reset or power + down untill reset... i think one of those forced the hdx into recovery... try this.
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------
You may be able to get it to work form a factory reset.
How ever, as i am attempting this, it is failing, and reverting back to the gray "kindlefire" logo with no response.... i have tried the factory reset a few times with no love.

If you wiped the /system partition, then logically there's nothing to reset in the first place...
Anyways, without ADB access, I don't think there's anything you can do.

Thanks for the answer! But Factory Reset won't help It's seems to make the problem even worse.. I called Amazon and they sent me a new one..
I don't think that we can get that back to what it was without ADB access!

Yes, indeed, thats true.. But I got a new one from Amazon today - I hope they won't say anything because of the root-access I had.

Yeah, i went the same route. Amazon is pretty great when it comes to customer service.
But i am fairly certain that what we did, WIPED EVERYTHING! lol... EVERYTHING... it was a shell!!! lol... i could be wrong, but i am sending mine back as well!
so, now, i got a fresh device in my hand, and my wife is saying i better not root this one! HAHA.... (as i am searching the best root method for 14.3.2.1)
Sorry for noob question, I'm new for HDX.
There is no way other than ask Amazon for helping ?
I guest because it is bootloader locked, right ?
ok
