So I know I'm a dumb ass but here's what happened:

HTC Rezound S-off

Amon Ra 3.15

Hboot 2.27

ViperRez 1.0.3

My phone was acting a little buggy and my friend kept telling me I should flash a firmware update so I flashed

this " PH98IMG-firmware.zip - 33.02 MB " from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835811&highlight=ruu&nocache=1

I checked the MD5 when I dl'd to PC

BUT

not when I copied to sd card. When flashing, all steps were successful except for 2: MDM9K - FAIL-UZ & RADIO_V2 - FAIL-UZ

I rebooted and got stuck at the white HTC screen. Battery pop and I tried to flash again. This time almost everything returned -- FAIL-PU except for the two above which still said FAIL-UZ.

Adding insult to injury I tried flashing two more RUU's from android police, I have a screenshot attached of one of my failed attempts.

ADB Devices doesn't recognize my phone but FASTBOOT devices returns a serial number. Boot loader also changes from " fastboot" to "fastboot-usb" when I plug into a PC but my PC doesn't see my phone.

I think it was a corrupted RUU because I decided to check the MD5 of a RUU on my sd card after the damage was done and it was bad. I then copied the same file over to my sd card a bunch of times, checking each MD5 and more than half the time they were bad.

I appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.

Sorry, thought I was in the Q & A section. (I already said I was a dumb ass)

Try this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835039
[HTC Rezound] jksell07:
Thanks Squirrel...tried that one. That's actually the RUU that I ran for the screenshot. I think the problem has to do with updating my partition in the internal memory.
[HTC Rezound] jksell07:
I tried flashing in fastboot...heres what I got:

Stinks to say but it looks like if you have bad blocks I don't think it can be fixed.

You can try unlocking and if it will unlock. Download a recovery. CWM. AmonRA. or TWRP. A fastboot command would be fastboot boot recovery.img or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Use the first command if you can't flash the recovery. If you can get a recovery to load. Flash a rom
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
Just an idea here. I would go here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor and down load one of the "EXE" RUU and try it. These are windows executables, so just double click on the file after downloading. Start with a ICS first and if that dont work try the GB
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
The .exe basically does the same thing as fastboot oem rebootRUU. Just does it for you in a GUI.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Wish I could help here but curious about something, if he some how flashed a bad dl of an ruu, which contains hboot, and radio's etc..I know that if you have a bad dl of an hboot, or radio and you flash it it would brick your phone. could it be possible he bricked his phone due to this same theory? Except by running an ruu, or could that even be a possibility when updating via ruu? Just my 2cent and ?? :)
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Maybe he can try flashing just the hboot then trying the ruu again
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Agreed, he is s-off.. you can try doing everything seperately, make sure you check your md5s.. start with your hboot..
[HTC Rezound] jksell07:
I just got home and my internet connection's out. I'm tethered to my OG droid right now and it is slooooooowww. When it rains, it pours.

" Stinks to say but it looks like if you have bad blocks I don't think it can be fixed.

You can try unlocking and if it will unlock. " Thanks Flyhalf205, I already tried unlocking and that was a no go.

I tried messing around in a linux terminal:

" Detect the device using the script provided. Type this in the terminal: ./brickdetect.sh "

(I got this from here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833530&page=6

)

It said something like permission denied.

I'll try flashing an hboot...I had thought about that but since its the only thing working on my phone I was a little hesitant. First I have to get my internet back up and running. :p I'll check back later.

Everyones help is much appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Can't wait to hear if it worked. But as famouscollin said, check check and triple check that MD5. A bad hboot = permanent brick
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
Here are some confirmed working hboots, in case you were unsure of where to get them or which to use. They are based on the latest release, but have fastboot enabled without HTCDev unlock, and have the "LOCKED" at the top replaced with various other words.
[HTC Rezound] jksell07:
Internet's back up but I won't have a chance to play with my phone until Tuesday night, so I'll post again when I have something to report. :good:
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
Like to hear how it went for you
[HTC Rezound] jksell07:
Not good. Nothing will flash. The only thing I have left to try is some fastboot erase commands. That might be the nail in the coffin though if I lose hboot.

Heres something else I tried...extracted the img from a RUU:

c:\mini-adb_vigor>fastboot flash mdm9k mdm9k.img

sending 'mdm9k' (23389 KB)... OKAY [ 3.259s]

writing 'mdm9k'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 3.575s

If your'e still around, when you say bad blocks, is that something physically wrong like fried or just that the blocks are not accessible? Even if my phone is toast, I'm still curious as to what exactly happened.

I've been rooting phones for a few years now and no matter how bad I messed up my phone, I've always been able to bring it back from the brink. I was starting to think that bricking your phone wasn't really possible. It's like your dog dying and learning about death for the first time.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
That's weird, I've only seen the remote not allowed when the bootloader is locked and you are s on

Can you try and unlock even though you are s off?
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
A bad HBOOT will cause a bad block. I am not sure how I can explain it. But the original MD5 did not match the one you downloaded and so it was a bad flash but this time a bad flash that can't be undone.

I know this sounds crazy. But trying doing the wire trick again and if asked to flash HBOOT. Do it!
[LG Optimus Black] :
I have been using the P970 for about 9 months and only last week I have not been able to charge my phone or connect it in USB mass storage.

The only way I can let the contacts meet is to push the tip of the contact to the right and it will charge. The tricky thing is this: connecting in mass storage is even harder and I have already installed the proper drivers. I think is purepy a hardware problem BUT is there any way to to fix other than sending it to the service centre?

I had to travel to the other side of my country just to the service centre and it had shifted somewhere else. But they do not tell you the venues on the official LG website.

Anyone else who experienced this problem? And flashing a ROM is technically impossible.

P.S I did search for a similar topic but was unable to find one that was my problem.

Regards.

So is everybody under consensus that this LACKS the Wifi Toggle in the Notification Pulldown, and it has the annoying persistent "Turn On Wifi" Notification? And does that bother anybody?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] desantim:
Have the white GS3, I miss a dark colored phone. I admit it was unique having a white phone, but the white is a distraction, it doesn't allow the screen to blend into the phone as much as I would like. Just my 2c, and the button? It's obnoxious, like Mike tysons face tattoo. Shouldn't be there. Ah well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inkdaddy66:
I had an s3 when they first released. Yes...the WiFi notification is rather annoying. But if the note2 doesn't have the toggles you want. Check out power toggles in gplay. I use it all the time. Its awesome and doesn't require root access.

I thought there was a way of turning off that notification? Ugh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inkdaddy66:
I'm sure there will be once some development goes live. I believe there was a way to remove it on the s3 w/o requiring root. I believe the app that was used is called SqLite. Don't hold me to that though. I could be wrong.

[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
Well Elevate peeps... What can you tell us concerning this?

Several sites mention IPX5 certification yet there's no mention of the rating anywhere in the official HTC or VZW specs.

It's reasonable to discern that with the unibody design and snap in water tight musb cover that this thing should be at least IPX5 rated but it's not safe to assume I suppose.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
Engadget said it's splash resistant, I don't know why it wouldn't be since it's basically the same phone as the J Butterfly. Maybe someone will do a soak test :)

A quick email to HTC from a member of elevate should suffice.
[HTC Droid DNA] Matto2007:
Here is what I was told: So who really knows..

Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Support North America!

I bet you are as curious as we are here about the new HTC DROID DNA. I was doing some research on this device and I found it has the same dust and waterproof IPX5. You will be able to learn more about the specs of this phone at http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/htc/droiddna/. I’m positive this is what you are looking for.

As this is not an HTC official partner website, HTC does not support or warranty any third party information, and its implementation is at your discretion. I encourage you to keep visiting constantly our product page at http://www.htc.com/ where soon you will be able to learn more about these amazing new gadgets and stay informed on any future announcements.

I got it on Friday and since then it's been twice on the floor.

TWICE!!!!) the first fall happened yesterday - there was no damage and the second one happend this night - the noise woke me up, it was sooo loud, i think the phone hit wardrobe first and after landed on the floor...

I guess i got lucky having watched all the reviews. I was hearing how slippery it is weeks ago.

I would never throw my smartphone at someone no matter how mad I got. Well at least being in limbo I may have a case before it gets here. I have a Gs2 Skyrocket which is Samsung pure slippery plastic phone. I love my Skyrocket but hate how slippery it is. A otterbox defender case with the plastic screen popped out was my saviour.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberNoobZA:
Mine dropped from my desk onto the floor. A .7 metre fall onto a carpeted floor. If you use vibrate on this phone, you REALLY want to get a case that has some sort of grip on the surface you place it on :) Phone is fine I'm glad to say.

It's not really about the protection more so the grip. The Bumper if you hold the phone correctly, should provide better grip of the phone, although I haven't tried the bumper for this phone out. But all bumpers for phones I've used in the past have helped with better grip of the phone.

Then you can trip and twist your back and be put in traction because you tried to fall under the phone to protect the glass. Sorry the devil made me do it.:D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
they should have used a different coating with more friction for the glass. Gorilla glass is made to have a low amount of friction, which is great for touchscreens, but no friction on the back sucks.

I used to put my phone on my wallet since its leather and wont scratch anything, and sticks pretty good to plastic and glass. I did that with this phone and 10 minutes later I heard it fall off from where my wallet was. Its so damn slick it took 10 minutes to slowly slide off a nearly flat surface, a surface that should have been sticky for glass.

I will probably get a cheap "screen protector" for the back that has more friction so its not so ridiculously slippery, I dont do cases for my phones. My advice is not remove the plastic film on the back when you first get it.
