Panic much? There's actually a thread here on xda that links a flash tool from HTC to remove root/etc. I'll see if I can find it, but you should search as well.
You'll find how to return to stock if you search these forums...
It will be easier to help you if you would explain exactly what you did up until you lost the ability to use your touchscreen.

Make sure you've installed the Android SDK USB drivers as well.

Easy. Boot into fastboot, then flash the shipping software from winxp. Have the HTC sync drivers installed, but htc sync stopped. It works.

I have an HTC Aria (well, wifey does) whose screen randomly quits working. I think it may have to do with the battery, as troubleshooting suggests that possibility, and a totally full charge seems to help (where-as it may not work at 80%). Anyway, doing what I can to mitigate it while I get a replacement unit. Although it is under manufacturer warranty, I'm scared to send it in to them, as you get charged so much if they find it to have violated warranty in any way (e.g. water damage or something). Almost cheaper just to buy a used one on eBay.
Send me your email and I can send you the stock 2.1 recover that breaks the root. Its what I used to return my first aria. Just make sure to backup all your data on your computer. Change the SD card also or back it up on your computer and delete everything on it if your sending it to HTC. I must warn though your replacement might contain the new hboot which their is no root for as of know.
P.S. my touchscreen failed because of the phones high temperatures mainly in the 105-110° F.
Signatures are fancy.
This phone has never been rooted, so no worries in my case. The OP may be different, I kind of jumped in here. I fear instead one particular water sticker, that, while white, is slightly torn (somehow). So... I mean, its like rolling dice.

You said it started working again, what worked for you?
pLs help me .. i have same problem with my HTC ARIA ..!!
how ur HTC started wOrking ?
Today every time I reboot, Google Wallet is asking for root permissions. I haven't allowed it. Does this happen to anybody else? Seems a little odd to me......
Same has been happening to me.
Curious for an answer, as well.

It does that to tell if you have root. It's so it can put the unsupported device flag at the top. It also checks /system/app/ for a Superuser.apk to tell also.
If ANYTHING asks you for root that doesn't need it/that you didn't want it to have/you didn't request, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS deny permissions.
Wallet will function fine without root.
So what is the outcome here? I just rooted using the method that zedomax posted, and got the "unsupported device" notification. I denied superuser privileges to Wallet when it asked, but what exactly is happening when it says "unsupported device"?

Nothing. It has just detected that you're rooted. If you tap on "More info" on the unsupported device banner, it tells you more info about it. Even if you deny su perms, it still knows if you have su. It's only asking to check if su exists.
do NOT give wallet root! you'll get unsupported device, then if you flash another rom or unlock/lock it or unroot or any other changes after you give it superuser/root permissions, you will brick your NFC chip with secure element error! the only reliable fix for that so far is sprint is replacing your phone with another.
heed that wise man's advice! NEVER give superuser to anything that doesn't require it!! especially most especially WALLET
----
it says "unsupported device"because wallet isn't supported on rooted devices, that's why it checks for root. this is on purpose because google or sprint won't warranty or troubleshoot or insure or give you support or help or even a sympathetic ear about wallet on unsupported devices because you are dealing with MONEY and FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. if your
phone is hacked, stolen, or lost, and you loose money from someone spending your stuff, your only protection is whatever the credit card company will give you if you can convince them. THAT'S why it checks for rooted devices. just so you all know

Even if you deny su, it still will show unsupported and know that you're rooted. By the su prompt coming up, the app knows you're rooted.

Please don't post misleading info...allowing or denying root privileges to google wallet has nothing to do with bricking the secure element of the NFC chip.
only after you do something else rom/root wise. without clearing data and saved info and settings.
So for some one like me who rooted allowed it to have permission, thinking that unsupported device was bad cleared my cache and then unrooted thinking this would fix this issue. Apparently not, so who has a fix or a thought of one?

There is no need for a fix. Google Wallet works just fine when rooted, ignore the message.

I'm sure everyone knows that you should always wipe everything before installing a new rom... If they don't then they deserve what happens to them..
I however am having an issue with the "initializing your device"... Its been sitting here for an extremely long time, and is annoying. -- Any ideas anyone? I've done research and some people have said its down and some have said its up, etc... So if anyone has a for sure answer that would be much appreciated.

The for sure answer is that google wallet is currently not working correctly on our device. Google is aware and is working on the issue.
good to hear. Cuz last night I finally rooted and unlocked bootloader. I did clear settings in wallet first. But now it just sits on initializing and won't continue.

Thank you much. Was there any eta by any chance? If you know that is. I as well rooted the device and never had Google wallet active till after, then all of a sudden I get that initializing stuff. So I got a little freakish when I saw some posts, lol.. :-(

I'm not trying to be mean, but you are so wrong that you should Not be giving advice. NFC chip breaks ONLY if you DO NOT reset Google wallet BEFORE you flash OR even do a plain factory reset on an UNROOTED LTE.
Read the sticky in the "general thread". It explains all about the Google wallet and the NFC chip.

I recently purchased a T-Mobile LG G5. I am not too tech savvy, and since I'm a novice when it comes to rooting, I have a question I need help with.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. Shortly after doing so, I noticed a blister in the paint of the phone's battery/charging port tray. This is the part I'm referring to. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-LG-G5-Accessory-Module-Loud-Speaker-Gold-p/lgg5hsg4gld.htm
I contacted T-Mobile, and they offered me a warranty replacement. That sounds great, but I'm bummed out. I have my phone customized exactly how I want it, screen protector and all. I can't figure out if I want to go through the hassle of unrooting my phone, relocking the bootloader, then doing the reverse to the new phone.
Anyhow, the answer to this one question will help me decide. There's always the possibility that the T-Mobile store rep will be unconvinced the blister, which has since then burst, was a manufacturer defect. It actually now looks more like a scratch. If I go ahead and relock the bootloader, but am denied the warranty replacement and have to keep my current phone, will I be able to unlock it again? Or should I save myself the hassle and shell out $70 to buy a new battery/charging port tray?
The common sense answer is to ignore the blemish and keep using my current phone. But I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these things and can't bring myself to do it.
EDIT: I'm going to leave this up rather then delete because the answer below may have valuable information for somebody else. But there was never a blister in the paint. I feel like such an idiot. The phone came with a plastic protective adhesive that was applied so well, I never realized it was on. That's what blistered.
You could relock the bootloader, and send it back. The question is rather whether they would find out, since i am not quite sure if they can see that the phone was ever rooted. If you decide to lock the bootloader again though, you can unlock it later on again, that is no problem. I would suggest unrooting it, and relocking the bootloade, if you can not ignore that blemish. I just got mine yesterday, and im debating whether i should root it again, because i am not certain that i could re lock it and recover the warranty. I only need to root it because of adaway, since there is no custom rom support yet.

Thanks for the reply. Read my edit to the original post. You're gonna laugh.

Is there a way to unlock a relocked BL?
I bought a used G5 H850. When I try to unlock BL on LG site, I get the following message "Device ID is unmatched. Please check your Device ID. Your account will be locked if you enter the wrong Device ID more than 4 times.".
Searching in the internet, it seems that I get this message because my phone had been unlocked once.

1.) the phone id was entered to get the unlock code
2.) you can find a unlock detector in a hidden service menu
:crying: if they want to see, they will be able to see!

as I know:
that’s right! At the first time the phone was unlocked; the id was registered as "unlocked" in the LG data pool! AND unfortunately the ID was related to the user account of first registration.
Best way will be to contact the first owner if you can.

How to relock the bootloader pal?
Im curius because, even if the bootloader is locked again, cant LG search among the IMEI's and find out that previously the device was tweaked?
Thanks!

While LG will know that the Unlock.img file was requested they wont know if you have used it or not. So they will need evidence that you used the file in order to warrenty void.

Ooh i see. Cool bro thanks for the reply!
someone has installed user certificates on my phone and changed hardware/software etc.. maybe flashed not sure but i need to get whatever got into my phone out and return it to its Original rom samsung. is there a way to figure out where it came from and can anyone help by chance willing to try anything. i know this much. its some kind of apatche license/certificate as well as several others idk what half of this means i know how to get into download mode for custom os push and how to get the the factory reset page etc but as far as code and things like that my knowledge base just is not there. anyone that can help it would be VERY much appreciated. PS> i think my current wife we are seperated and i think her jealous bf somehow hacked my phone to see our convos etc etc etc. but any help will be very much appreciated and if i can find out who or why and its him i will **** his **** too with community help nof course. been dealing with this going on 3 months now with my phone so to the forums i turn !!!!
If it is simply certificates, then follow the screenshots.
If you think the phone has been tempered, or rooted to gain unauthorised access to you, you'll have to boot into Download Mode and check KNOX status. If it contains 1, then you're screwed, and I advise you to go to the police.
If it is 0x0, then you're fine, but you must wipe/format the phone, just to make sure nothing is left that may track you. Unless your wife's boyfriend works at Samsung or your carrier's company. Haha. Then you're totally done for.
I thought people lost hope in marriage in Western Communities. Nothing is the same it was back then.

KNOX is not something that can be disabled and enabled, it is a Samsung feature, they give it a special treatment that if someone tried to modify the device in an unauthorised way, it'll trip a fuse that cannot be repaired.
So it is simple, either the device is still under KNOX, or it is not, and you're probably being hacked, without you noticing that.
My credentials' storage also says backed up to hardware, it's normal. You simply follow the screenshots to clear any user-added credentials, if there's none, you won't have to worry.
I have an old AT&T Asus 9020A tablet. I got them new years ago thru my phone plan with AT&T. It wasn’t used much and is like new still.
Anyway, I take care of my mother and she likes games and painting by numbers on her iPad but she broke it and screwed up her charging port. I want to fix this tablet up for her.
I bet it wasn’t used 2 months and was just forgotten….I looked it up and completed a factory reset on it and wiped it clean. So I was trying to set it up and get her to painting again! It’s bout to kill her not having it..lol
I was setting it up and it wants the old email associated that was used to set it up. There is no way to remember that or even get it. I asked my daughter, she don’t remember. Anyway, are there any way I can use (reset) this tablet not knowing the old email that was associated with it? Where I can fix her up for her or am I just wasting my time? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
So it is FRP locked?

It’s not locked. It reset ever And started the initial setup as if it was new. It just wants the old gmail for some reason before it will accept the new one. It lets me start in the setting up her account on it but is asking for the old email for verification….. I don’t have it and there is no way to remember it unfortunately. I know they are there to keep folks from stealing them and that’s great. But 10 years later…LOL Is this possible?
what you describe (verify device with google account) is called FRP lock (factory reset protection). this is same on most/all official android devices to render device useless on theft.
however, the unofficial by-pass methods vary for each device model/android version. search on YouTube.
