Long story short, had a party at my house. The phone was stolen and wiped, OS entact, then sold on craigslist. Whoever bought it on craigslist, soft bricked it. Returned it to the seller who then found out it was mine and returned it. It was retrieved by my sister and was returned to me with the Splash Screen on with the red HTC developer warning at the bottom. Good news, phone is back. Bad news, its soft bricked.
So i go through a few of my options.
1) Recover a NANDROID
Internal SD completely wiped and External is missing
2) Load a NANDROID that I had saved on the computer onto a buddies external SD and recover
Loads to Splash Screen, goes to blank and returns to splash infinitely
3) Try the new DirtyRacun S-OFF
Cannot move past Step 13 because of symptom from #2 above. So now Im thinking that this may be because this method puts the original RUU on the device. I had CM on it at the time, which was flashed using Flash GUI, Im assuming the CM Kernal is still on the device and the Stock RUU wont match with the CM Kernal.
4) Flash CM
Same symptom as #2
At this point all I can do is ask the masters on the XDA forums (all you guys). The forums have totally helped me in the past but this is my first post. So, Im not to a noob to rooting and its involved processes, but, by no means am I an expert. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Some other things that may help are this I have a feeling that the Internal SD may be unmounted but Im not sure. I am unlocked and S-ON I was running a recent nightly CM flashed using Flash GUI. My recovery is TWRP 2.2. Also, Ive tried to search for soultions on the forums but havent found anything similar to my particular situation. If i could get a reference to different post that would be awesome too.
might try the recovery tool from original dev section
it was looking like a good resource for soft bricked phones.
since there's the racun s-off now you could maybe dev-re-lock and do the official ruu to 2.13 just to get to complete stock and a working phone
Also could try flashing stock pj75img from bootloader and starting fresh. I had to do this once when my system partition corrupted on me somehow and it saved my butt. It will overwrite anything left on your phone, kernel included.

what would that involve. i only know how to flash stuff from recovery. how would you do it from the bootloader.?
If you are on 1.12 bootloader use this link to dl, rename file to pj75img.zip only, place on an external sdcard and reboot to bootloader. Bootloader will automatically find the pj75img.zip and ask if you want to update, follow directions from there (it could take a bit and will reboot a few times and even look like it's doing the same thing over again) let it do its thing reboot and voila... Back to working stock.. If you are on a newer bootloader you will have to search for pj75img.zip that matches your loader (1.15 or 1.19) I'm at work or I'd look for the others.. Good luck bud, hope it helps..

That's what I thought to, but it's all I could find on un brick.. It sounds like u have similar symptoms as I did.. The pj75img.zip did the trick for me.. It's not nearly as involved as an unbricker would be and the phone virtually does it itself... What bootloader were u on??

Do this first: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ywwsgozw7ek1rva/2.13.651.1_Firmware_NoHBoot_NoRecovery_PJ75IMG.zip rename to just pj75img.zip

Let me first start off and say that this was entirely my fault for the postion that my phone is in. I did not sOFF because I was lazy, and only have a Mac. I was fine with just being rooted and running MeanBean, that was until I saw SENSE 5 experimental roms coming out for our phone. I tried to flash to one of the SENSE 5 builds using HTC DUMLOCK, and now I can't get past the first boot screen.
info
Unlocked
HBOOT-2.09
RADIO-1.12.11.1210
Open Dsp-v31.1.0.45
eMMC-boot
S-on
3.16 &
Teamwin 2.4.1.0
I can boot to recovery, and when I try to wipe and re-flash MeanBean it goes straight to the BootLoader. I've tried searching the forum to fix my problem, but couldn't find a solution. (long-time-lurker) To my knowledge they haven't come out with a 3.16 RUU.
Basically I felt as though I've flashed a different kernel & boot.image that doesn't coincide with MeanBean and because I'm S-ON, It won't allow me to change that.
I'm very humble and grateful for any help. I didn't want to post, and wanted to find the solution myself, but I failed
Thanks in advance!
If you have a backup, you can restore it from recovery.
Once you're up and running, I highly suggest getting S-off. You can use the newest method, Moonshine. It's Windows friendly.

Ya that was the first thing I tired, to restore my backup. But when it booted up it goes straight to the main boot screen. Yes I agree as soon as I get my phone working I'll S-off, I've just been putting off using boot camp to dual boot to Windows. I've got virtualbox Windows, but I haven't had much luck pushing commands via usb.

If my backup won't flash correctly, I'm guessing I'm screwed at the moment. I've tried restoring my backup multiple times. I've tired several different roms with the same problem.
Maybe try and take it to sprint, and see if they have a 3.16 RUU to Restore to stock? Or send it to HTC?

I don't think your problem is that serious. What are you wiping in TWRP? On that note, make sure you aren't wiping anything once you flash the ROM.

After you try flashing MeanBean and it returns to the bootloader have you tried flashing it a second time?
Wiping cache/dalvik cache/system/factory reset before flashing the first time of course
Have you tried typing "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes from a cmd window while the phone is booted to bootloader

Yes I've tried re-flashing MeanBean a second time, so that it tries to install the kernel but no luck. I've flashed all 4 settings before installing any zips.
I'll try the "fastboot erase cache" this weekend, when I have access to a Windows computer.
Thanks again for all your suggestions.

Definitely look into going s-off. It will save you so much heartache in the future if you like to flash and try out different roms. A couple hours of reading and following all of the tutorials to gain s-off, in my opinion, is a much better trade off than trying to figure out how to get your semi bricked phone into an operable state again. Besides, getting s-off is a great learning experience.

Bootloader and twrp access is not a brick man. You just gotta fastboot the boot.img either before or after flashing whatever Rom you want. (This is because you're s on). I used to do it right before I flashed the Rom so I could just reboot to twrp and flash away without having to restart again. The command is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from cmd promt on pc. Make sire the boot.img from the Rom zip is extracted to the same folder as fastboot and adb. And of course assuming you have the latest drivers for your device on your pc.

How is this a brick. You have all the access you need to get it up and running. This is not even soft bricked.
Your S-ON. You need to flash the kernel separately or flash a s-on friendly ROM.
You should read the sticky threads in "general" and "q&a" especially the one named "don't panic".

Hello guys,
I do realize there are tons and tons of threads of this topic, but I still decided to make a new one. That is mostly because the other ones are like 1,5+ year old, and most of them have comments of people that managed to get into bootloops, bricked their phones or whatever it is called (also happened to me).
I'm a total noob at rooting and doing stuff to my phone. I have only rooted it back in 2012, march. I put some "cool ics" or something like that on it, and now, I've decided to change to something new, better. But as I've seen I'll have to downgrade it, I tryed, but I got into a bootloop. So now I'm scared to do anything (I did fix it tho). Could you guys explain, or atleast post links to WORKING tutorials, please?
My hboot version is 1.53.0007, S-ON. The bootloader is unlocked. I have 4ext recovery, and I don't think it's rooted by revolutionary method (if that even tells anything).
So if you tell me to put some other recovery stuff on it, please also tell how to delete this 4ext thingy. xD
Thank you in advance, iShovel out

First of all, make sure that is based on htc sense rom then copy the rom in your sd card, else the phone go in bootloop.
I guess you already have 4EXT recovery, so go in bootloader mode (Volume down+PowerOn. It's a white screen) and enter in the recovery.
Make sure you have the smartflash feature enabled. Go in tools and enable it.
Make a nandroid backup (it's a full backup)
Wipe cache and all that the developer say in the rom thread.
Now you have to install the new rom Install from sdcard, find the zip and install it
Thank you
But once again, the noob I am, I managed to screw something up. I'm now at steps 10-11. At first, when I ran that controlbear.exe as administrator, it got stuck saying something like "setling your device...please wait..." (it didn't say exactly that, but I forgot what it said). I rebooted phone, tryed steps 7-10 again, and now it's stuck on "searching device" in command prompt -.-' Any ideas whats wrong?
And I feel so bad right now, since I can't do anything correct...not once...
EDIT: TRYED RUNNING CONTROLBEAR ONCE MORE, IT WORKS NOW!! it tells me to do the wire trick! ok guys, now wish me luck, because if I screw this up, then...
Let us know!
Well...I've, done the wire trick, but when I turned on my phone, there was just black screen with "JuopunutBear" text on it, and a green arrow + phone. So I said to myself, it's probably ok, that I just need a rom. So i installed PACman rom + gapps, and there is still this black screen with "JuopunutBear" text on it....what do I do now?

I'm hoping the wisdom of the XDA crowd can show me the way. My EVO 4G LTE was unrooted, fully stock when I ran the new RUU from Sprint. It got stuck and never completed. It sat overnight, with the sliver HTC logo against a black background. The program stopped responding on my laptop. So, I disconnected. I am able to get into HBOOT screen. I can reach the phone through ADB when connected in Fastboot. I have also been able to load TWRP and CWM, but image files won't take. I cannot get the phone to load past the white screen with the green HTC letters.
I figure that I have no more OS. But, I cannot do anything else because while I have unlocked the bootloader, I still have S-ON. I have HBOOT 2.10 as well.
I cannot mount the storage from the laptop, but I do have an external SD card I can swap in and out.
I know there are ways I can get to a new ROM with HBOOT 2.10, but it seems they all require S-OFF. I can't figure out how to get S-OFF.
At this point I would just like a working phone. Where do I go from here?

To gain s-OFF you'd need to be on 3.16 firmware if you don't want the hassle then redo the RUU a different way which is that link V

Yes - I've done that. Putting it into Fastboot USB was the only way my laptop could recognize the phone. I could try to flash a rom, but I wasn't sure which one would work with the HBOOT/firmware version I have.

If your Hboot and firmware match the new layout you can try and flash one of the new Android 4.3 Sense 5 ROM's.
I'll keep looking for one that doesn't require S-OFF. All the ones I've found so far require it.

Any luck? I know there are aosp roms that work on the new layout. Not sure if they require s-off

No luck on that front, but Captain_Throwback came to the rescue and gave me the solution after a plea from help over at the Android Central forums. I had to relock my bootloader, then load on the RUU as a PJ75IMG.img in the root of the SD card.

Everything is working great now. It does feel like a new phone, to a certain extent - very fast.
