Hi All, I'm new to this so please be gentle.
I think i've managed to brick my phone. I had rooted it with a stock rom then I tried to put a custom rom on. The phone just sat on the
HTC
QUIETLY BRILLIANT screen.
I assumed that the boot.img was missing so went to do it using the all in one toolkit but somehow I manged to relock the bootloader again.
I am now in the position where I cant get into recovery, I can get into bootloader(locked) but I dont seem to be able to communicate with my PC.
HELP PLEASE
Unlock the bootloader and flash a new recovery (use adb),the redo the whole process.
Yeah 'qwesta' is right. You should unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP recovery

All sorted
Thanks Guys I have sorted it.
I eventually followed your advise but at first had to cure the problem of a low battery. I sorted the battery out by using a batch file I found on XDA Developers which reboots the phone constantly and charges a little bit at a time. I took a couple of hours but my phone eventually had enough battery to let me unlock it and once that was done I could charge with no problem. I charged it up for a while then loaded the rom and boot image again and hey presto all back to life.
Thanks again Guys

Me and my friend have been trying to root his HTC Thunderbolt and we thought everything was going pretty smoothly. We found one of the versions of the Liquid ICS and moved that to his SD card and we unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev site and everything was working just fine. We even got to the point where we could flash CWM onto the device and even that seemed to go smoothly. But after we flashed clockwork onto the phone we were only able to get to recovery. Anytime we try to boot into the rom that we installed it just sits on the white HTC screen. We've wiped data, dalvik and cache, which is a common cause for bootlooping and common errors as such. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, my friend is concerned about not having a phone and is actually considering purchasing a phone for retail price off of amazon, and I really think thats a waist considering this phone isn't bricked, and I think the geniuses here at XDA can definitely help us out of this pickle. Thanks in advanced - Randy

Your first problem is that you used HTC dev. You need to relock the bootloader and use the allinone tool to unlock get root and s off. The problem is that liquid ice has a custom kernel and you can't flash those with a locked bootloader.

Could you link me to a thread on how to do that without getting your computer to recognize the phone? Because as is, the phone can't be recognized seeing as it won't boot and its either stuck at a white screen, on HTC's boot loader *which is unlocked*, or clockwork recovery mod.
Before you setup your phone you need to fast boot flash a stock ruu. You should have made a nand in cwm before you ever attempted to flash a rom. If you did you wouldn't have this problem right now. You could just restore that backup in recovery and you would be rooted stock. Then you could follow the relock procedure and use the allinone tool to unlock and get s off.

Well that would be where we screwed up. we never made the nandroid back up and we kept trying to flash the RUU onto the phone via HBOOT but that doesn't work either. It says that is radio version 1.49.etc. inside of the bootloader.
You will need to give me more info about your radios. What baseband are you running?

Alright so I dropped it off with my good friend Ryan and he was able to manually flash the RUU onto the phone and got it to boot stock. So we are done with our phone adventures for a little while. Thanks for offering to help, but we got it all solved
Now that you're root stock you can relock and then use the all in one tool.

Hi Guys,
I have S-off, Super CID and Hboot 1.93 was working fine with the 4ext recovery and a Nighmare ICS ROM.
Today I just accessed the SuperSu and it asked me for binary installation.
one was normal and other was from CWM/TWRP. I choosed CWM/TWRP method. Since then I can only See HTC Screen.
tried using reflashing of recovery same 4ext and also tried the TWRP 2.3.
Nothing Seems to be working. When i restart in a normal mode it goes to the Nightmare startup HTC screen and it again restarts back to white HTC screen and there after I don't see movement.
Is it possible that it can be bricked in S-off mode ?? or what has really happen.
Now I can only access bootloader, Please do help me, what should I do. I have been trying using the All in one tool..

Hey guys,
After months of going through every possible related thread, or almost every one, i've reluctantly had to resort to opening a new one.
I have the AT&T HTC One X+ and I wanted to use it in Pakistan with the service provider being mobilink, Initially my phone was locked so I had to purchase an unlock code online. Once unlocked I inserted my Pakistani sim and I could make calls but wifi would not connect to any network and mobile data would not work at all. Frustrated, i turned to rooting and installing a custom ROM for the first time ever, thinking it would solve my problem according to my research on this forum. In retrospect I might have been wrong.
Nevertheless, I installed CM10, the brainchild of the highly esteemed Lloir, without any hitches via Hasoon's toolkit. I didnt care about my data and tried to make a recovery but I might have failed. Anyways, I downloaded the RUU as well. Everything was fine except the problems we all knew about i.e the calling issue, the camera, etc. Except, my problem was still not solved; my Pakistani sim always had the same effect, wifi and mobile data would stop working. It would take a factory reset to be able to use wifi and MD at all.
Frustrated, i wanted to try another ROM, namely Viper. Here is where the current problem began. I followed the steps on Hasoons toolkit thread to uninstall the custom ROM, revert to default, and relock the bootloader. Ever since i relocked the bootloader I havent been able to either unlock it again, nor boot into recovery. Command prompts never work for me because I'm obviously doing something wrong. But i did set-up the android sdk custom prompt thing and made the desktop shortcut and that seems to at least recognize my phone when its not in fastboot (as does my windows 7 ultimate 64-bit laptop), or in other words, when i'm using the phone proper and not in bootloader.
So, to highlight my issues: i'm stuck with a relocked bootloader with the default ROM (i did manage to revert back from CM10 before relocking), and i cannot boot into recovery. Luckily, i'm $10/month for insurance so I can get another phone for $200 but I'd rather man up and fix this myself with your help of course.
Please help,
Thanks,
Ammar.
Why not just flash a ruu again and start from scratch? It does it all for you.
You won't be able to get into recovery, manipulate fastboot and install roms etc since u locked your bootloader.
Relock bootloader, run ruu, unlock bootloader then flash custom recovery via fastboot and install a rom.
Find the ruu here for:

bootloader is already locked, i've flashed the default ROM, still can't unlock bootloader or go into recovery. upon clicking recovery in bootloader menu phone shows a red triangle on top of an image of a phone and then phone restarts.
Run the RUU my man. Running that reverts everything back to default. No recovery or anything. It's just like you got your phone out of the box

He's right. I locked mine up a few weeks ago and used RUU and it was like I took it out of the box. Unlocked bootloader and started over again. Worked like a charm.
Everyone should have the RUU on hand just incase something like this happens

So my ATT One X is boot looped. How I got here. Used Hasoon2000's kit to change CID and get unlock code from HTC to unlock boot loader, all was good in life. Continued down that road and install TWRP and rooted with no problems, life was still all good. For some reason at this point I thought it would be a good idea to load a stock rom without all of the ATT crap in it. This is where life started to not be so good. I failed to download a rom from the correct forum and loaded what I take it now is not a ATT One X compatible rom. From that point on I've been stuck in a boot loop from the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen.
I've tried loading several different roms (cynogen, slim, and others) I've tried a TWRP stock backup that I'd found here on this forum also. All to the same end. Phone rebooting over and over at the HTC screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Help me please, I am a noob. So yesterday, I flashed Modaco Switch for HTC One when my battery is low (20%). Now it wont let me pass the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I've searched the solution for hours and still, no luck on finding it out. But I see some thread that suggest me to download a new rom and put it in my SD Card, but I cant even pass the HTC boot up screen. Btw, I've relocked and unrooted my device. Thx to all of u guys too

I don't have a HTC phone but I am sure that if you download the PC suit of HTC and try to update or repair it your phone will be at the original i.e at Stock ROM.Hope it helps
Well if you relocked your device then the only thing would be to flash an RUU through bootloader
What I would suggest is to try to unlock your bootloader again if you can, flash a custom recovery, then flash ROM
And being it sounds as if you were using the HTC dev unlocked bootloader method you will probably need to flash the kernel through fastboot as well
If you get things up and running again seriously consider obtaining s-off, pretty sure this is possible on an HTC one but its been a while since I've looked through those threads
