I have literally murdered my phone. PLEASE HELP! - HTC Droid DNA

I have literally no clue what I have done to my phone. All I know is what I've done is bad and that I have voided all warranty. I did this knowingly, but this still really sucks.
I have CWM installed but CAN'T boot to it. Apparently I have like super-bricked my phone and when I try to boot into CWM it boots out and boots into the boot logo where it stays.
Someone please help me. The adb and fastboot commands do not detect my device (Windows 8.1) and they also don't work on my Windows 7 netbook.
I have no clue what to do. The RUU also doesn't work.
I have a Droid DNA.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561044 this may help you. From what I read you have to put it on an ad card and run load it onto your phone. I'm fairly new to all this myself. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I would use this but I get a "<waiting for device>" on my computer and the windows 7 doesn't pick it up either so I can't flash. I am seriously so screwed - I'm sick to my stomach at how screwed I am.
edit: anyone...please..I am literally crying. I cannot fix my phone. I cannot afford a new one.

Can you get into hboot/fastboot?
then in fastboot mode, enter :
Code:
fastboot erase cache
If that goes through, try entering Recovery again.
If your computer isn't seeing the device, make sure you have fastboot and adb installed and if it's a driver issue, try installing this if you can without a booting device
It requires some interaction with the phone, but maybe it will see it in hboot or install enough that it can detect it.: LINK

Don't panic man, your phone is going to be fine. I think we've all been there before. As long as you can get to the bootloader it's not bricked. Just do what santod said, also double check to make sure that you have the drivers installed properly, you can get adb and fastboot working on 8.1 if you install the correct drivers: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...r-solves-your-adb-driver-problems-on-windows/ also make sure you are using fastboot commands in the bootloader and not adb commands. That may sound ridiculous, but those are the type things that are easy to forget when you're stressed because your phone won't boot.

This rom looks fantastic! Will it break root? Where's your download link?
From fastboot menu make sure phone is plugged in... Open up a command prompt.. change directory to wherever you have your adb & fastboot ... Make sure your recovery file is there also.. from command prompt type "fastboot flash recovery ********.img" replace the ****** with whatever your recovery is named ... This will flash a new recovery

i need your help
Go to windows folder and copy cmd.exe
Paste cmd.exe where your SDK/ fastboot,adb files are at.
Download a recovery like twrp.
Rename the twrp .IMG file to trwp.img
Copy the img file to the same folder as cmd, adb, and fastboot.
...
Now pull your battery. Re insert battery.
Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.
Hold vol down and turn on phone.
Your phone should be in fastboot USB
open the cmd.exe file and type
fastboot boot twrp.img
The command window will display that it sent the info to your phone and reboot your phone into a full unlocked recovery.
From here you want to wipe system, data , and cache.
Then install a 3.6 or 3.0 sense Rom to make sure everything works

Probably a strange coincidence, but I lost all voice and texting capability about 15 minutes after I went s-off. I was on Meanrom ICS and wanted to avoid having to flash kernel to make it work. I can get sprint data working no problem, but can no longer make/receive calls or text. Tried everything I could think of:
Reflash rom
Wipe/Factory reset
Superwipe
Flash stock unlocked rom
Flash OMJ GB rom
Even called sprint to see if they could reset on their end.
No luck. I'm going to try going back to stock, locked s-on and take the phone in for replacement I guess now.

I had the same thing happen to me. I tried to make a call out, and got a recorded voice saying "error 16. please stay on the line while your call is connected to a representative."
30 seconds later a sprint rep was on the line, just verified my personal info to make sure I was authorized to be making changes to my phone (apparently it failed some kind of security test). I told them that I just did a hard reset on my phone and they said it was the most common reason that people got that error. 3 minutes later they fixed my issue. All connectivity restored, phone working 100%.

I wonder if I should call sprint again or just go into the store. Guy gave me an eticket number for a replacement phone. If anyone is interested though, I restored to stock, then used adb to put s-on. Bootloader now shows Locked and S-On with Hboot 1.50. Doesn't appear to be any evidence of my rooting.

stuck on 2.11.0000 hboot while unable to charge, use ADB or fastboot

Stuck on HBOOT 2.11.0000, I have scoured the net trying to find a solution. I was doing the S-off tutorial when my cat knocked my phone off my table as I turned around to get some cheezits really quick. the phone unplugged from the usb and now I cant get my phone to charge, enter fastboot as well as unable to use any adb commands. I desperately need to relock my phone but I cant....
I got the phone working however and flashed 1.6 clean rom just to have something. but I am crippled without the use adb or fast boot. I need a new RUU but I am in between a rock and a hard place on this one, a speedy reply would be greatly appreciated.
Are you in a locked or s-off state? Does the phone charge while in a running state?
s-on, phone doesnt charge at all. everything else works though
ADB While in a recovery?
No charge, no fastboot, usb not recognized
Did 1 Rezound S-0ff real easy, but on a second phone, had exactly same
result as OP.
Except I have no WiFi and no radio, but a pretty screen running rooted
GB.
Since we can't access thru usb, cures aren't going to be easy.
Am experimenting and taking advice from smarter folks to get out of this
spot. Hope you find a cure and post it.
I cannot access ADB in recovery, nor will it boot into fastboot in recovery. its as if the usb port is turned off, i am thinking that if I can flash to a new ruu this will go away. is there anyway to do that at all with a unlocked phone?
so is there nothing I can do about this? what about a golden sd card or trying to push someting through ADB via wireless? I am at a complete loss here

Could try downloading abd wireless off the market and give it a shot. Wouldn't you still need to be in fastboot ?

Just to clarify, the commands to "fix" SD mounting was purely due to the new ICS firmware that expects the SD blocks at different points. All the commands that were listed do is format the SD card. That should have nothing to do with your USB though. Also if even while off or on, it still doesn't charge, really sounds like it's just the USB port itself. Maybe it fell and pushed the cord in in a bad way? If that's the case, even a RUU can't help. Your best bet to VZW not noticing (IMO) would be to flash a rooted stock gb rom and then removing the super user app so there's as little chance of them seeing you altered anything.
No USB fastboot connect and No Charge
Have exactly same situation as you. Flashed a MISC.IMG with a Terminal
program from the Market per Con247's suggestion. Phone boots up,
recognizes WiFi, but no charge, no usb, no fastboot. Won't give up yet.

Need to reset my Phone, Help

Let's clarify. You tried to install cwm, it failed and now your phone says unauthorized software take to Verizon? Your post honestly doesn't make sense. Oh and now Odin won't see your phone?
If this is correct then your phone is far from screwed up. Very common it's what happens when you don't unlock the bootloader. So let's get your phone seen by Odin. Are you in download mode? What os is your computer? Have you trired different usb ports? Are drivers installed?

Seeing as when I tried to switch to CWM I was already on Aroma I am confused as to how my bootloader got locked. I have been installing, uninstalling all over the place. in fact im still doing it. to answer your questions: yes,7 and 8,yes,covered.
And believe me I know that article inside and out. If I could get my odin to work Id be in fields of gold. Conveniently I have a new computer arriving today that I will try to get it to work with. It seems that my computer cant figure out how to communicate with it.
It calls it a "Gadget Serial" downloading PC studio didnt seem to help

You can't be on aroma. Aroma is a method used by ROM devs to allow the user to select options during install of their ROM. There are two recoveries, CWM and TWRP.
So you are seeing unauthorized software? Then your bootloader is locked, if it was unlocked then we'll figure that out later.
You should see gadget serial. Is it installing the drivers for that? How did you install drivers, Windows update our manually?

Okay, thanks for clarifying. That is a little strange then. I mean did you let Windows download the drivers for you, which you answered. You can try to put phone in download mode and keep plugging and unplugging it (give it time to recognize it first). There was a guy that said it eventually just recognized hos phone after 16 times. You did restart your computer correct?

You're most likely not bricked if it will turn on at ALL! Here's what you need to do:
1. Make sure your computer is setup with the proper drivers/ODIN.
2. Go here and download the stock ODIN image
3. Get a different USB cord you know works or try the most rearest USB port and put your phone in ODIN mode as stated above.
4. If ODIN doesn't recognize your phone, restart the computer with it plugged in and unplug it and replug it...
5. Flash ODIn in the PDA, not the Phone section (Follow the directions given by Imnuts).
That should fix you up, if it doesn't, chances are you missed a step. Good luck:victory:

[Q] Accidentally formatted system AND internal memory, help!!!

I need to reflash stock ROM, however I made the dumb mistake of accidentally formatting everything prior to flashing the new ROM. So I have no OS and no way of mounting the sdcard to ADB push the ROM from my computer instead. I've heard CWM (my recovery) has native support for ADB, but I'm pretty inexperienced). Can anybody point me in the right direction? Sorry if this is a repost, none of the threads I've tried have worried for me thus far.

First, don't panic.
Download the ROM you want onto your computer, put it in the same directory as your ADB/SDK tools.
Then, on your phone, press and hold power and volume until it reboots into bootloader.
Press volume down to highlight recovery and then press power to boot into recovery.
Once in recovery you can use ADB Sideload to load ROM to phone from computer.

Try installing PDAnet on your computer.
You don't really need the tether app part of the install, but it doesn't hurt.
The main thing you are after, is the drivers it will install.
Run the installer and follow the prompts on your monitor.
That should get the device recognized, assuming you have adb/fastboot set up properly.
Your going to laugh but install pdanet and it will reinstall adb. I don't like cwm I'd advise u gonwith twrp unless ur going to use cm 11

First, don't panic.
Download the ROM you want onto your computer, put it in the same directory as your ADB/SDK tools.
Then, on your phone, press and hold power and volume until it reboots into bootloader.
Press volume down to highlight recovery and then press power to boot into recovery.
Once in recovery you can use ADB Sideload to load ROM to phone from computer.
Enjoy...

Hello. A real big thank you for you. You gave me a big hope by the two words "Dont Panic". Your advice was a huge hint on how to get back my HTC One. I researched on ADB Sideload and within One Hour I got back my phone to normal. Thank You. You are God!
I downloaded a custom ROM and did the adb sideload. It worked. If computer doesnt recognise your device in recovery, try plugging it into other usb ports on your computer.

i think i bricked my phone and i keep making it worse the more i research

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

please help....
ive read many pages about similar issues, some saying boot into fastboot, some saying "just type in cmd prompt" with an attached line of code... others saying "its easy just unlock your bootloader" but what i dont understand is how i can do this??
update: can get back into TWRP not sure what i can do from here as i dont have an SD card reader to transfer files just a usb and a phone with no OS

Can't help with the issue but, the waiting on battery to die issue you can press and hold power button for 8 seconds to force it to turn off

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

Did you try to root your only phone, that's a very bad idea

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

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
