[HTC One A9] bogdan#:
Hi, guys.

I have HTC One A9 Sprint hard-bricked as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" black screen and not visible in adb/fastboot

fastboot getvar all (before it bricked)

e:\HTC One A9>fastboot getvar all

At first I had new phone with Spint-locked sim.

I unlocked bootloader (via htcdev.com), installed twrp and supersu and unlocked sim using this manual.

Then I decided to updare firmware, returned stock recovery

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

where firmware.zip I made by decrypting RUU firmware and manually zipping it (it was a mistake!)
