[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Scudderb:
Annnnnnnnd I think I'm bricked :(

I tried the "better luck" file at the link above, renamed to firmware.zip and attempted to flash as per these instructions:

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder

-boot into bootloader or download mode

-plug in usb

-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)

-type fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type fastboot reboot

I watched the youtube video from post #386 above for locking the bootloader and returning to stock found at https://youtu.be/8FTQBxSSiA8?t=4m19s last night for some guidance. At the 4 min 19s point of the video, there was a comment about a "failed" statement, not to worry, and with direction to "please flush image again." I came across a similar "failed" statement when I was flashing.....a FEW times....and issued the fastboot command again and finally got SUCCESS!! Here is the text from my terminal (hidden because it is long) I BOLDED the "failed" instances for reference:

Problem is that when I rebooted I am STUCK on the white HTC screen.....green logo in the center...."Powered by Android" at the bottom. It has been on the white screen for 10-15 minutes as I have been typing :(

....and the phone is

VERY

HOT!!

During one of the 3 or 4 "failed" flashes above that I reinitiated, the black "HTC" screen changed with a warning in RED below the HTC logo that read:

Security Warning

If you flash this phone with an ROM that as not officially released by HTC you take the risk of releasing your personal and financial information to unknown sources

......???

Interesting. And funny it gave me THAT warning but did NOT say that when I reboot my phone will it will be bricked :silly::eek:

Sooooo.....NOW what??? :confused:

THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS!!
