***Please Help*** Urgent! May have bricked

Ok. This phone is killing me. Flashed the recovery.img and then went to recovery, developer menu and installed super user. Rebooted device after that completed, it powered on, saw HTC screen and now is stuck on a black screen.

Which ROM did you try to fire up?

I am on the stock Rom. Is there a particular Rom to install so I can get the phone working?

Maybe try one of Scotts Clean ROM's for S-On. It has a script that allows the kernel to pretty much auto install...after you flash it, the phone should automatically reboot to Hboot and ask if you want to flash the kernel...accept the update and you should be good to go. If nothing else you'll at least be able to use the phone again until you get a ROM you really want. Scott's ROM's are usually very close to stock but with improvments and minus the stuff many of us consider bloatware.

I tried flashing many of Scott's GB ROMs. That works fine, but when it auto installs the kernel, I get "main version is older, power to reboot".

Use the tool in post #27 to change your mainver back to 1.000

Yep, what Mr. Smith said. In the 4th post of that link to "the other forum" is a zip file. Grab that zip file, put it on the root of you SD. Do all your data wipes, flash the ROM but after it flashes go back to the "flash from zip" menu and flash the mainver zip file...then let it go to Hboot for the kernel install.

I'm pretty sure thats the order...if it automatically takes you to Hboot after the ROM install then flash the mainver zip before you flash the ROM.

I keep a copy of this file on my SD card for just such cases...only had to use it once so far though.

Mr. Smith/Wanda. Thanks that worked. I got to turn in my other Rezound to warranty. Now I get to deal with the fun of going back to S-On and locking my device.

Hello,
Is there any other link where you could get the exe RUU other than FileFactory?
