Today I woke up to my phone saying Please insert Sim card, it was inserted. I restarted, no dice, reinstalled cm 10.2, no dice, wiped factory settings, cache, dalvik cache, then installed Paranoid android, still not working. It won't let me get past the activation screen even if I let it time out and hit skip it literally will just go back to the welcome screen and try to activate again.
I searched around and found that RUU-ing back to stock, locking the bootloader and all that would fix it so I locked the bootloader and am trying to use Ruu but half way through Ruu-ing it takes me to a black screen with a silver HTC logo on it and freezes, then Windows 8 tells me that it is not reconized and Ruu says error 171 which is a USB error. I checked under Device manager and it said unknown device so I'm obviously missing the driver so I go to install htc sync to get the driver and no dice, even if I uninstalled HTC sync and kept the driver it still didn't work. My question is which driver am I suppose to be using?
Phone: Droid DNA
Rom: Was running CM10.2 at the time then installed Paranoid Android to see if it would help
OS: Windows 8

Did you Reset the phone after RUU? are u on VZW, you should receive the OTA 2.04 then 2.06
sometimes that happen, (the roaming s) if you still roaming get it to VZW to exchange SIM Card and be resetting.

Evidently resetting it via recovery was the wrong way to do it. I tried it through fastboot and it worked!!! Thank you for all your help!
I'm on my second dna, about a month in total two phones. First one rooted, s-off from stock rom flashed the latest build of cm10.1. Upon boot up the first screen where it says activating it just sat there after about 5 minutes said it couldn't activate. Odd. On my past nexus devices Samsung gs2 and gs3 it would fly past that screen. I restored my back up same thing it said I had no service. Data worked but couldn't make a call or send a text.. Didn't know what to do and luckily Verizon didn't seem to care and swapped it out. So now I'm re-rooted on this phone but to afraid to flash anything cause of what happened. Seems like the same thing that happened to you happened to me.. I don't know how to do the ruu thing and I guess u can reset the phone from boot loader?? What fixed your issue.? I really want to rock stock android but to scared to flash anything. Let's say something happens again do I just get in boot loader and reset that's it nothing else needed?

You welcome!
after RUU >Stock Factory Reset, can be done from the phone... Setting>Back up & Reset> Reset Phone ( is exactly the same process when you go to Bootloader, fastboot and apply /Factory Reset. my bad if you misunderstand my concept , I called Stock Recovery to the Factory image and setting of the phone as it came out of the box to differentiate from Custom Stock Recovery like CWR/TWRP. Glad that u figured it out and have your phone back. Next time i will more specific.

I actually had to downgrade from 8.1 because it was impossible for me to get adb and fastboot working, because of the drivers. I spent the better part of a whole day trying to, its simply broken because of driver signing.

I have been having data & app issues with my Photon for the last couple of days. And wanted to flash to have a clean slate. When I try to flash any sbf I get the screen below. Pulling the battery and rebooting gets me back into the ROM, but looks like it didn't flash. I have tried different sbf, data cables, versions of RSD Lite. I am stumped, and hope the pic may shed some light on the issue.

looks like it is getting stuck on the BP, it flashes the AP then the device reboots and flashed the BP. Try a stock rom

Honestly not too sure what to tell you, sure someone will pop in and help out. I personally couldn't for the life of me get the drivers to install correctly on my main desktop to get RSDLite to work right, but I tried it on an old desktop laying around and boom first shot it worked great, if you have easy access to a second comp I would give that a shot because it seems like your missing a driver set somewhere. Have you flashed anything through RSDlite before with this computer onto your Photon or is this your first attempt?

This is the first time flashing with this Photon. It's a referb I received a few weeks ago. My original Photon flashed fine.
No spare PC or laptop around to try. Could installing XP solve the issue, or win7 32 bit? My PC is running win7 64 bit.
Try 198_7. I had the same issues with 198_6 I believe. Switching to a different sbf fixed my issues. I also had better results on a windows XP box. In pure windows and not a virtual machine.

I did it/do everything with 32bit Win7, but don't want to tell you to go through the hassle of installing an entire OS considering it is just a shot in the dark as to whether it will fix it or not. Only other thing i would think to try would be putting the phone into RSD mode and plugging it into computer and see if Windows installs any drivers that way BEFORE trying to open up and flash through RSDlite.

I can't even boot the phone...I can only get into recovery and fastboot. and those dont even connect right.
Well since your getting a SoD... you most likely have to reflash your rom. If you don't have it on your phone you will have to to a sideload install. I've never played with sideload but I am sure others will be able to help you.
Do you have the android sdk installed? Sounds like you don't have the right drivers installed. Get the sdk, open the sdk manager, update the usb driver, reboot the pc. You should be able to push the rom to the phone with Adb.
You need to be bootloader unlocked and have a recovery installed like twrp or cwm as well.

did you update cwm I have heard others not being able to find it once they did. Also did you get that SoD from updating to a new rom? if so it is most likely corrupt or the install didn't complete.

OK some of you guys who are racking their brains why they can't do this, you know you have everything right. Well I was one of those guys then I tried something and felt so F'n dumb. If you know you have linux live cd and your phone is set up right but something juuuust isn't right I think I know what your problem is. My dumba$$ ASSUMED I had to be in Fastboot mode, GUESS what. . . DUH, nope, your phone should be on regular. OMG after I did that and ran moonshine and let it go I was S-Off in minutes. I feel like an a$$, so if your having problems and kept booting in to fastboot stop! lol Hope this helps, thanks is always nice, peace and good luck.
So you should already know to take off fastboot in the battery section, put her in debugging mode, be on 2.06 FW. Have a linux cd burnt, I used mint 15, phone should be charged up.
Run your linux cd, if your on mint right click in the downloads folder were you should already have downloaded moonshine, like I said in the download folder right click and open terminal, then paste this command IF YOU ARE VERIZON tar -zxf moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz that unzips moonshine in the downloads folder, now LEAVE THE TERMINAL OPEN and copy and paste this sudo ./distiller Read everything in the terminal the type Yes , read some more and type Yes when prompted again. Uh yes your phone should already be connected, Then sit back and let it do it's thing. When it is finished it WILL TELL YOU it's done and ask you to power the phone by holding Volume down and power, then life is GOOD again and you can start doing other junk to your phone again. Like CWM, make a back up MAYBE<<<YESSS do that.
People should have to take a quiz verifying that they've read the instructions before being allowed to download Moonshine.

Sorry for my very noob query
I did a factory wipe and reset, after setting the phone via instructions, booting the phone as I would normally, installed the PDAnet driver, after uninstalling the HTC sync and drivers, reboot laptop all went well. Minutes later went to do my girls DNA without wipe and factory reset got the WTF error. So she doesn't want to reset her phone. I'm not an expert, just thought I would share my mistake and hoping you guys will to. And maybe we can help sort each other out.

Disable fast boot in settings/battery then enable USB debugging, restart your phone then hold power and volume down, wipe and factory reset. Boot your phone like you normally would. plug it in to your PC while already running your live CD, moonshine should already be in the download folder, open a terminal, if running mint just right click IN the DL folder and open terminal. I'm guessing you already downloaded and unzipped moonshine. then copy and paste this just like it is in the terminal
sudo ./distiller sit back and wait, Yes Yes then a little more waiting.
After moonshine and S-off I downloaded>>>> recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-dlx.img and used Windows/ADB to flash or install to DNA. Couldn't get adb to find DNA. . . . until I uninstalled and deleted HTC Sync and used PdaNetA4126.exe Then finally in device manager it came up an Android interface or something. So for me I made a folder called "fastboot" and dropped it right in the C drive so when I open a CMD window I can just type "cd c:\fastboot" then with phone connected in NORMAL mode and PDA installed type "adb devices" you should Fblah blahblah, that should be your DNA Then I believe you type "adb reboot bootloader" and your phone will go into fastboot mode, it should say "FASTBOOT USB" then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-dlx.img" that is NOT a typo so don't fk with it! Then reboot into recovery and back up your phone. Then for me I flashed viperDNA_1.3.1.zip and Blackout_DeoDexed_LockMod.zip the lock mod puts the lock ring on the DNA on the bottom right corner of your phone. I like, a lot. The viper ROM is cool with sweet install options, the cwm is the touch version, GET IT you'll like it I promise.
That is if you download that version of cwm and place it in the same folder, hence the command.

Ah, ok I'm doing something very basic wrong. Just got on a fresh Windows machine with no SDK on it. So when I run distiller it tells me to run distiller again and read. Just downloaded the sdk right now but dont know the steps between here and being bale to run the distiller....
Sorry for my very noob query

The process needs to be performed using LINUX not Windoz
Shouldn't this thread be in the Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting forum?
Not that I'm advocating for one over the other. But revone does not require a wipe, can be done on any machine, and takes less than a minute with like 4 things typed in adb

Moonshine doesn't require a wipe, just some users have wiped and its moved forward, it removes whatever is preventing it from going through, an app, a setting, any number of things may get in the way, but the time to find it wasn't taken.
Moonshine can also be used on windows or Linux machines, not sure about osx.

Confirmed: Moonshine with Windows and Linux Mint BOTH work and NO Factory Wipe necessary...at least NO Wipe for me in Windows. Just let it do it's magic; search for drivers, reboot many time..takes about 5-10 min. Some may S-OFF W/ROOT quicker than others, but it works. Amazing job by beaups and co. Thank you again
Oh wasn't sure on the details. So why are people using a Linux boot CD to do this?

Windows was a recent update.

Back in March I was rooted, running a cool sense 5 based custom ROM and happy. But the phone had other ideas. It stopped recognizing the SIM card and the replacement phone Verizon sent was on the latest firmware which we couldn't hack. I couldn't deal with the stock configuration after having the custom ROM so I binned the phone and went back to my old GS3 hoping to someday be able to go back to the DNA.
If I understand things correctly, that day has come and we can root the current firmware equipped phones.....Correct? I've read thru a number of posts and all it has done is left me confused and hesitant to give it a shot.
Can someone help me out with the correct steps, methods and procedures to root my stock, S-on DNA running the latest OTA firmware (2.06)? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

So I just follow the steps listed in the link above and I'll be ready to flash a custom ROM? No HTC unlock code and such?
Correct.

Ok, gave it a shot with the windows version and didn't succeed. Followed the instructions and definitely made sure there was no trace of HTC Sync on the computer. When I run the Distiller.exe file, everything seems to run OK for test 1 (rebooting into bootloader) and test 2 (booting device) were the phone reboots like normal. Then the script says rebooting into bootloader (again) and sits there waiting for fastboot. It times out after 60 seconds and says connection failed. usb connection error.
Any ideas on were to go from here?
You need fastboot drivers.

Google HTC fastboot drivers. If you are on win8 with usb 3 ports only you can expect issues.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Googled HTC fastboot driver and it looks like I need HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe . If I google HTC android drivers I can find another file HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe. Tried them both on my home windows 7 machine with a USB2 port. Nothing changed. Same results.
So I tried the window XP computer at my office that I originally used to root the old DNA. Got a little further this time. I get a message that temproot has failed. I also get a lot of stuff going on with "other devices" drivers when I watch my device manager. Is this normal during the process?

Ok temproot failing means factory reset time. You should be good after that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
That did the trick!! Factory reset and the older XP machine. God, how much I missed the custom roms for this phone. It totally transforms the device.
As for the Moonshine process, like I said, it worked for me but I did run into a few more speed bumps. Everytime the phone would reboot, I had to squash the HTCsync install. I guess it's something on the phone as I searched hi and low to find anything like it on the computer, with no luck. Anyhow, I would just cancel out everytime the message appeared on the screen. If I didn't cancel out, the moonshine script would time out and fail.
Just wanted to follow up on this in case someone else has similar issues.
Thanks again, guys!
long story short
htc desire 610, rooted, bootloader unlocked
needed to bypass safetynet
used magisk 12.4 worked fine, new update came
magisk no longer worked, forced me to update
update bricked my phone, bypassed this by reflashing rom in recovery
researched why new magisk update was being stubborn, one suggested updating my TWRP to latest build
updated TWRP, flashed the img while in recovery, ended up putting recovery into my boot (following a guide and wasnt paying attention)
phone now stuck in bootloop, can only go in recovery
wiped and formatted everything, decided to use adb sideload as its worked wonders for me before to try and put my rom back in
adb sideload wont detect phone, after many troublesome hours i decided to follow yet another guide i found about installing a RUU file into my phone to recover
followed guide step by step, turns out htc phones need bootloader locked, wasnt mentioned in guide

this worked, i must of given up at exactly 7 seconds lol
dumb question but with all these programs ive downloaded tonight ive just about given up
if i factory reset my phone in android recovery mode (not TWRP, the one with the 4 androids) on a phone that doesnt have an OS installed there isnt some miracle chance it would revert to stock rom would it? the only thing on my phone is TWRP and i was using CM12 before everything spiraled out of control
update - phone can access TWRP so im back to square one, i tried RUU i tried adb sideload and i also tried the folliwing programs
sdkmanager
SP flash tool (cant be used with htc)
windroid toolkit
USDDeview
ODIN
i just want to start over and try again but i cant seem to fix this
No, factory reset just reinstalls the OS that was on the device. If you brick the device it doesn't have an OS to reinstall.
Unfortunately, I can't help you very much as I wasn't able to fix my Galaxy S4 that was bricked trying to unroot as my carrier data was slow and I couldnt find the series of files including Bootloader and OS that I used on my Galaxy Discover that fixed it (obviously galaxy s4 series of files) as Odin will flash stock os and with some work around flash custom os.

The power reset is 6-15 seconds on devices but stock Android has included this feature since Android 4.0 at the earliest that I know of

its all good i feel like theres hope now that i can get back into recovery, tense moments such as these means id prob never of held down that button for more than 7 seconds to begin with and id still be stuck from RUU mode atleast.
just wish i knew how to get adb sideload to work its worked in the past but i cant get it to detect and the guide im reading says i have to use SP flash tool but i cant use scatter files on an htc phone.

I don't really know adb very much as I haven't really had much experience with it.
Will probably be picking up a nexus 6 and rooting it since those are 100% stock Android and are easy to root and unbrick etc I will definitely be getting more experience with adb and root

ive rooted before, and since its rooted its easier to recover in circumstances such as these
the magisk update is what started it, old magisk stopped working and it forced me to update and that caused everything to spiral out of control

back to square one, new magisk update came out today which claims to not brick phones... still bricks mine
i guess thread closed. nobody here and every 2 hours i come into a different problem so ill just keep toying with it
if anyone cares, my current issue is that i cannot flash the current TWRP it always results in a bootloop im currently using an older build and ive been told that i need the newest TWRP for the newest magisk build
