[HTC Rezound] shock_and_awe:
Update #3

Alright so right now I am EXTREMELY happy!!! Thank you so much for the advice. My phone happened to not get into fastboot anymore for some reason after I thought I bricked it. The final attempt I made before going to bed that night was to put my Micro SD into my phone and attempt to get into fastboot one last time and by some miracle my phone decided to. This is the steps I took to get my phone back operational so please excuse the length. At the moment, its not completely solved until I get my phone 100% operational, but this is what I have so far. I listed a few notes before I started so here goes.

Update #3:

HTC Rezound 2014:

- S-OFF and rooted with Liquid Smooth ROM and Amon Ra recovery

- fastboot oem LOCKED (no bootloader access available)

- batteries all low powered, 1 fried (3 total)

- when plugged, charging light turns on for 3-5 seconds and turns off without charging battery or

allowing phone to power back on; requires battery pull to restart process

- Power + volume normally takes to bootloader; recovery, factory reset, and reboot option fail

- when attempting to boot, phone will vibrate, power on to green HTC logo on white screen and then

turns off to black

- any attempts to turn on phone result in said description and requires battery pull after each attempt

Current issues:

Batteries are not fully charged

Cannot access bootloader because of last command in console, "fastboot oem lock"

PC cannot read devices despite drivers installed and fully working USB cord

Possible causes:

- Extra batteries just aren't fully charged to allow phone to fully boot

- System files are corrupted; no recovery, no boot.img, no OS; nothing for the phone to read to start up

Attempt 1:

- Plug phone with battery inside and cover off

- Clear memory off SD card

- Remove battery and insert SD Card

- Note: Battery has little to no power

- Plug into USB cord connected to computer

- Before orange light comes on, hold down Power + Down Volume

- Failed; repeat (unplug from phone, battery pull and reinsert)

- Attempt to leave battery to charge for 8 minutes via USB

- Charge attempt failed; orange light turns on for 3 seconds before turning off

Attempt 2:

- Remove phone cover, take out battery and reinsert

- Hold Power + Down Volume and go into Fastboot USB

- If successful, plug into PC via USB cable

- Open console (Shift + Right Click in folder AndroidSDK\platform-tools)

- For list of fastboot commands, type in the console (which should read slike C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\) "fastboot help" without quotations

- To make sure you are connected, type the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

- If the phone reboots into FASTBOOT USB after the command, then you're good

- Type in the command "fastboot devices" to make sure your devices can be read by your computer (should show up like HT18BY892363 fastboot)

- Since the last thing I did on my phone was "fastboot oem lock", use the command "fastboot oem unlock" and hope for success

- Command prompt will read something like:

...

<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.014s ]

finished. total time: 0.017s

- Type into command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"

- Submit Identifier Token to HTC Dev (need to create an account)

- Download file and save in platform-tools folder with the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files

- Type "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" into console

- Select "Yes" option and phone will reboot as follows: vibrates, shows HTC logo on white screen for 3 seconds and turns off

- Unplug phone from USB, take out battery and reinsert

- Hold Power + Down Volume and boot into FASTBOOT USB; should read "*** UNLOCKED ***" at top of screen

- Using TWRP 2.8.0.1F, extract "recovery.img" into "platform-tools" folder

- Type command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and profit!
