Nothing to worry about. Please read my previous reply to a similar problem. Remember: if the phone does something it is not a brick, and since it is Android it can be fixed. So cheer up!!!

Are you working off the latest Jewel RUU here:

If you have unlocked device, you should lock it first with command fastboot oem lock, otherwise you won't be able to install RUU.

Can I get some help

So I got my replacement from Sprint after bricking my phone by downgrading from s-off..
Now I tried to brick this one and seems like it turned off before I disconected and now I can't boot it up, and the downgrade tool won't detect it, I get a dim blinking red light.
Also when I try to boot up the phone it boots into the bootloader and it says Locked and under it it says security warning, what do I have to do?
Help please :/
Do I just re-do it?
anyone?
Run the ruu.
Check the sticky on how to get back to stock

Yeah.
Or wait. Unlock your phone?
The reason it shows security warning is because you probably flashed something then locked your phone. thats what happens to me after locking my phone.
But now why would you try to downgrade after you bricked your phone. haha

Your right but you don't need to unlock it again. Just run the 2.17 ruu exe through the bootloader and when your phone is hooked to the computer check in your device manager menu ( if you have windows) to make sure you have your drivers. It should say My HTC or adb android.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But if he unlocks his phone it should be able to boot up and not show security warning. Also you need to run ruu while your phone is on fasboot USB if not your phone will just reboot

"1. Go to data menu; enter ##3282# on the dialpad.
2. Click on "Edit Mode" on the menu that appears.
3. Enter your MSL # and hit "OK"
4. Choose "Data Profile" from the listed options.
5. Press your menu button on the phone and select "Restore" from the menu that appears. Then hit "OK.
6. Phone should reboot. Once it's back up, wait for it to start hands-free activation. Once this is complete you should be good as new!"
If that doesn't work just call Sprint and tell them you are getting the Error 16 message and they will get you back going. Happened to me months ago after using revolutionary and the phone call took less than 5 minutes.
Edit: If you don't know your MSL number you can get a free app off the Play Store named MSL Reader that will find it for you.

Your right, if he unlocks it it will allow him back into his ROM. I was just saying it wasn't nessasary to have to unlock again. When I was unrooting my phone to work on the down grade all I did was lock the phone and run the straight stock ruu 2.17 through the fastboot from my PC and every thing cleared up. You just need the drivers installed minus HTC sync

mobile network not working

Can anyone help with this?
Rooted my HTC Rezound by unlocking the bootloader according to the htc developer site, then flashed it with the Amon Ra rezound recovery image, then installed the su & superuser options from the recovery menu. (I can't link to the instructions as i'm a newbie).
Kernel Version:
3.0.16=gd0049f1
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
Baseband Version:
1.22.10.0421r, 1.22.10.0424r
Everything seems to be working except my mobile network takes forever to turn on. Once it finishes, my 4G LTE indicator comes up, but when I try to go out on the internet it times out, or I get the network connection not found message, or I get "a network error occured" message. Txts, email, and talk seem to be working.
I have my back cover on, and I've reseated the SIM card and put the cover back on.
Any ideas?
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but for the first few hours or so after I rooted it, I got the message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." That was yesterday and I haven't seen the message since, even after rebooting multiple times.
Ok sense you know how to unlock this will be easy for you.let's get you on the latest radios. First your gonna need to relock your bootloader connect your phone to your comp while in fastboot/hboot pull up a command prompt on your comp AMD type the following hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd c:/folder (mine is cd c:/android)[enter]
fastboot devices [enter]
fastboot oem lock [enter]
That will then relock your bootloader. After your done with that
download this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ rename it to PH98IMG then put it on Your sd..
Then boot your phone to hboot it'll find the file automatically and start loading the update. It'll start and then screen will go black for about 20 sec then start up again, this is ok it updates tje hboot first. This will ensure your on the latest radios and hboot.. after you run the update which will take about 15min, unlock again, (same commands and same Unlock_code.bin you used before) then flash amonRa again, then dl this put it on your sd and flash it in recovery it'll give you root access on the stock Rom https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ZJtM40GdJ0TE03UVNIQ0Z2ekU/edit click

[q] help! Anyone? Soft bricked and need assistance

I am currently residing in a house with several others. Two days ago I left my phone (HTC ONE MAX SPRINT) on my desk and when I returned I found someone had tampered with it. The phone will only boot into Bootloader/Fastboot. When I try to goto recovery the htc logo screen appears for less than two seconds and then loops back to the fastboot screen.
Before anyone asks let me answer the following:
I don't know how it got to this state or what was done to get it here.
When I try to flash ANYTHING I get either signature verification denial, or remote denial
The screen says the following by order of appearance:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
T6WHL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
H-Boot=2.40.0000
Radio-1.48.50.0109

QSC=
OS=2/09/651/1
eMMc= boot 2048mb
PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP family emergency. I spoke with HTC two days and they were very kind and sympathetic but the development team was supposed to contact me with a solution when they arrived at one but I have not heard anything.
I would appreciate any support immensely.

Sounds to me step one try to s-off. Your boot loader is locked and you aren't s-off.

Go to HTC Dev and use your original unlock token to unlock the boot loader. Flash custom recovery. Boot to custom recovery. Then either side load a custom stock rom or put one on your physical SD card and flash it from there.

Hey! Thank you so much for the quick replies.
I must tell you that I have only moderate knowledge and experience when it comes to these issues.
Next, everything I try to do in terms of flashing returns with a signature not verified denial or a remote not allowed denial. I can't flash or otherwise access anything onto the phone.

That's why you need unlock token from HTC Dev. If this is truly your phone, you must know how to do that as this phone is relocked. Meaning it was unlocked before. The failure to fastboot flash anything is due to the relocked boot loader.

[Q] adb not reading device

Alright guys, Ive been trying to fix my friends DNA i guess from what he said is that he had a system update happen on his phone and it would just stay on the "HTC Quite Brilliant" Page. I tried a factory reset, and that didn't do anything, I went into recovery to wipe cache partition. I also tried wipe data/factory reset from recovery as well as hboot. so i got adb and i plugged the phone in while on fastboot. "adb devices" Shows nothing its just blank underneath the listed devices. So i figured that the drivers wont install i installed htc sync manager as advertised has the supporting drivers. Htc sync manager reads the device but doesn't say its a DNA it just says that its rom number. I tried to go to fastboot and put a previous dated RUU on but it had a error and just couldn't do anything with the phone. So now i went into the recovery and behind the menu screen it says "updating software from verizon wireless" but theres a issue with that is that the sim card in it isnt activated anymore so theres no data going to that phone if it is updating and if it downloaded the os to the phone it should be wiped since i did a factory reset 3 times and wiped cache 3 times as well.
So What i think is wrong is that:
I need usb Debugging on
S is on
Drivers wont install properly
I may need a active sim card to pass the updating?

Error Code: 160.

I was missing android sdk and i installed android sdk, and my device will read in adb but when i got to flash a udate it will read signature error. but im not using the word update im using "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img" and so forth and its not working i still cant get the hboot to unlock. please help me figure out if its possible to fix this phone im really determined to fix it and i need alittle bit of help.
Unfortunately, unless you can boot into the ROM, you cannot unlock this phone. I suggest contacting HTC support and let them know the update soft bricked the device and since you cannot unlock it, you need their help in getting it to boot again. HTC is very good when it comes to support, even for phones that are out of warranty. Support staff have been instructed to fix any m7 even if out of warranty period for the camera issue (talked to a rep personally on this issue today when making small talk). I am sure if their update borked your phone and it hasn't been tampered, they will fix it free of charge. What's the worse they can say, no?

I contacted there support 2 times on the phone and once trying to live chat and i got hung up on twice.. so im at loss here

Soft Bricked AT&T HTC One M8

Hello, I am new to the forum and this is my first post so please excuse if I don't do everything just right.
I am pretty good at IT stuff but until now Android has not been something I have worked with other than using my phone.
I have an AT&T totally stock HTC One M8. It's been good and reliable until a few weeks ago. Woke up to it asking me to input an encryption password. Never set one.
So I have tried just about everything I can to get it back working. Don't care about the data that's on it.
Can boot into Bootloader. The phone is LOCKED and S-On. Have tried to unlock via HTCdev. The commands work and the unlock screen shows up on my phone but after it reboots and I get back to bootloader it still shows as locked.
Tried adding the newest RUU to my SD card and installing that way. It finds it and starts installing. Then it says press power to reboot and goes back to same as before. No change.
Not sure what to do. Tried to post two pics of screen shots but can't because I am a new user. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you
