Bricked my HTC Rezound trying to root it today. Need help installing stock RUU, but how do i do this. Push it to my phone with ADB while in fastboot? And if thats how, how is this accomplished? I can only access the bootloader/fastboot.
What exactly were you doing when this happened?
I was in aman ra recovery and i thought i was rooted. I also thought i had done a nandroid backup earlier, but apparently not. I flashed cleanrom, and when i rebooted, it got stuck on the white htc screen
If you are unlocked then just flash the kernel in fastboot.
If you are trying to install cleanrom 4.0 you need to run the leaked ruu first.

Its literally too late for any of that. I can only access the bootloader or fastboot. There is no recovery installed now because it was only the temp one. If i had a way to get the stock ruu on the storage so it installs in the bootloader, then i may be able to fix my rezound, correct?
do you understand what brick means???
you are simply having user error.
Please re-name this thread!

I apologize, but last time i checked a phone that doesnt boot is a bricked phone, whether it was user error or a problem with the device that caused it?

When your phone is bricked it literally means its a brick that won't bee good for anything than a paper weight
Your case, all you need to do is flash a new kernel

Thank you for clarifying. Can you help me do this?
Also. Wouldn't it be possible to just fastboot oem lock, then put the RUU on an sd card using an sd card reader, and enter hboot and install that way?
Why do that? If you can fastboot oem lock, why not put the boot image that is in the PH98IMG.zip file, in the same directory as fastboot then type fastboot flash boot boot.img. Now you have your kernel installed.

Because I am inexperienced with ADB still and did not know i could, or how, to do that.
So far it looks to be working as its booting up, thanks a million. I feel sheepishly inexperienced but i guess we all start and learn somehow, right?
Yes we all start somewhere. It isn't the end of the world, live and learn.
Am having the same issue here

I was able to fix mine by going to fastboot on the phone, going into the actual zip file that was the rom i flashed on my pc, and extracting the file named boot.img into my adb folder and then in the command window with the phone connected to the pc and in fastboot mode typing fastboot flash boot boot.img
Can you explain this process in a bit more detail?
I'm kind of new to HTC and not familiar with all the terms yet. Same thing happened to me trying to get the ICS leak on my phone.
I'm not familiar with ADB, and have minimal familiarity with ADB.
Am also having the same issue here
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------
my steps:
1 anlock from htcdev.com
2 re-lock bootloader
3 flash leaked RUU 3.11.605.22
4 unlock again
5 flash Amon Ra recovery
6 flash Scott's CleanROM ICS Edition Version 4.0
- enjoyed the week
- wanted to flash another rom
I put on the SD card RezROM_ICS_v3.1.zip and began to flash, forgetting the first re-lock, flash leaked RUU 3.11.605.22, unlock and then flash RezROM. (isn't it?)
Phone rebooted and there was a white HTC screen and nothing more.
Then I tried to fix it and flash leaked RUU 3.11.605.22 again (re-lock, put on the SD card PH98IMG.zip, flash, but after reboot I got the same white HTC screen and nothing)
pls someone could instruct me on the right path?
which means in Amon Ra recovery:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
and so after each attempt to flash any ROM
I can not understand what I do? pls help
Try pulling the battery & SD card, power up without SD. Do a factory reset. Are you currently in an unlocked state with a fresh .22 RUU installed?

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)

I also tried to flash original RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00 .1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe, but when I click the button to proceed and I get an error message stating it failed due to an invalid signature.
You can't RUU backwards and you need to re-unlock before attempting to flash another rom.

E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkp36 ( File exists )

Hey guys,
Hoping to get some help.
I was updating TRWP 2.7.0.0b and firmware to 4.13.651.4. To update flash Viper's rom. It all flashed correct but when I rebooted to flash the rom, it would error out to "E: Unable to mount \cache, \system." Also I noticed during the boot, I was getting Tampered and Locked notification within Bootloader. So I tried to reflash TWRP http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98 but the when I goto Recovery, TWRP no longer has touchscreen capabilities; I can't do anything within it. And it's showing TWRP v2.3.1.0 after trying to reflash
Any tips on how to get a rom back on phone?
*** Update ***
Okay back on TRWP 2.7.0.0b // HBoot 2.10 // FW 4.13.651.4 // S-OFF, Locked
When trying to flash any rom, I get the unable to mount messages.
What specifically is recovery saying it's unable to mount? Also, what ROM are you trying to flash?

It specifically says:
Updating Partition Details...
E: Unable to Mount '/cache'
E: Unable to Mount '/system'
This is happening any rom that I've tried so far.
Vipers, Liquidkitkat, and even Sense5.
Recovery.log file with the error when trying LiquidKitkat
Go into TWRP and try wiping system and cache (under the advanced wipe tab). May also try a factory reset (from recovery, not the bootloader). I've run across this issue a time or two on the old format.

Run the newest RUU, let it boot once, hit fastboot and reflash twrp. should take 15 minutes.
Hello
I am having some troubles with rooting and installing a custom rom. The basic problem ist, that I am getting the E:Unable to mount '/system' in TWRP recovery.
My bootloader was unlocked with Flashtool and the TWRP wash flashed with the same tool.
I've done some research and it was suggested to flash a different recovery. So I went with Caynogen to install the rom and got this report: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
By coincidence I noticed, that both recoverys are on the phone, Caynogen and TWRP. Luckly I can choose wchich one to use/boot.
In adb shell when I try to mount the system with mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system /system I got this:
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system on /system failed: invaild argument
At this point I don't know what should I try next?
I was looking for solutions on the forum and I wasn't that lucky or maybe just not smart enough to understand what to do.
For any advice, links or tutorials I will be very greatfull!

Either reinstall the firmware via adb sideload, or if you want to root again, downgrade to 4.5.3 using the adb sideload and then follow one of the tutorials to root and install another lollipop Rom.
I have tried to run:
adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3.bin
but got:
E:failed to mount /cache
E:failed to set up expected mounts for install; aborting
Installation aborted.
