Hi guys I have a mytouch 3G slide and I was able to get the bootloader unlocked. However even before I unlocked the bootloader I was unable to get the phone to work it would stay at the mytouch slide splash screen. Im on the new hboot and a am able to get into fastboot and hboot. However when I click recovery in hboot it takes me to the tmobile slash screen and never gets into recovery. I have flashed the original recovery but still no luck. I can't reboot the phone all they way. Anyone know what's wrong?

Hey Moe92,
I'm pretty much in the same situation as you!
I was given a phone to fix that has water damage, the owner disclosed that up front and I can see this based on the moisture sensor on the device.
The phone boots up and is stuck on the splash screen with out any activity after this. This is the same screen that I see when trying to enter recovery.
The only thing the phone can do is go into fastboot and hboot. Let me make a list of all the activities I have tried to perform and what ended up happening. As of now I still cannot fix the phone.
Device Details in Hboot
Code:
ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0002
MICROP-0620
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0102
RADIO-7.15.35.16
Dec 13 2001,11:34:01
The items I've performed so far are:
* Downloaded two different versions of ESPRIMG.zip and placed them on the SDCARD for the device. Neither loads up by the device and they both fail.
The MD5 hash for each version is: 892b885010563208edc3037dfec40425 and 9e80d53b4afa73ecf0d58f703831ac82
* Created a goldcard and tried to run the above two files with the same result.
* Tried to enter recovery from the device; ends up on the boot splash screen and hangs
* Tried to use fastboot to flash several recovery images: Clockwork 2.5.0.7, recovery-RA-Saphire-v1.7.0, recovery.img from the ESPRIMG.zip files
* Each time fastboot flashes the recovery sucessfully, but trying to get to it ends up with a boot splash screen hang.
I'm starting to believe the phone is bricked, or something occurred internally when it became wet. I have no idea what the software was on it prior to it being wet.
From your experience does this phone have any luck of being restored? I've spent two days looking over the threads and trying to avoid asking a question that may be answered; but have had no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually sometimes and this rarely happens... I can load into the welcome screen but everythine that happens, the phone is in safe mode. When I power down the phone it goes back to the splash screen and hangs there. I have to keep flashing the Tom many many time and pray that it gets into the welcome screen again.
BTW I can unlock the bootloader. Does anyone know what I can do after I unlock the boot loader?. I tried to flash zips via fadtboot but got the error where it cannot determine the signature. When unlocking the hboot, are there specific things I can do via fastboot? Please let me know. Thanks
I have also unlocked the bootloader by using the token provided by htcdev.
What zip did you try to flash to yours? I haven't tried that from fastboot yet. I only tried to flash each component of the ESPRIMG using fastboot with out any luck.
Moe,
Do you have any information on how to boot the device into safe mode?
I tried to use fastboot to flash an update.zip but that method did not work either :crying:
Does anyone have access to the ESPDIAG.zip for this device?
Ran out of ideas at this point .

well when i unlocked the bootloader. i then decided to relock it. once i relocked it. i went to the HTC website and got the 2.2.1 RUU. once the RUU downloaded, i reloaded the phone with the firmware and once it was done, it booted o the entire OS but it was in safe mode. i didnt press any buttons for it to get into safe mode. it went in by itself...
also when i shut the phone off and truend it back on, i was back in square one where i was stuck in the boot loader screen.
Also you can extract the original ESPRIMG.zip file from the offical 2.2.1 ruu. In order to extract the .zip file, you first have to run the RUU. Once you click on the Downloaded RUU program, let it run. once the first page of the RUU comes up, follwo the below directions to extract the .zip file. DO NOT flash the phone with RUU if you want to extract the .zip file.
Here are the step by step instructions
1. open my computer
2. click on the main drive. (for me it was the C: drive)
3. click on users
4. click on you computer name (the one that has the lock on it)
5. click Appdata. (appdata is a hidden folder. to un-hide it, click---> Organize/Folder and search options/view/ scroll down to hidden files and folders/ click on show all files and folders)
6. click on Local (NOT Locallow or Roaming)
7. click on Temp
8. when you get into the folder, sort the files to the DATE MODIFIED
9. when you have it sorted, you will see some folders such as ({95153F7E-B880-4656-B55D-54DD7869F984}), the name of the folders can and will be different. open each folder and when you come across a folder that has the ADB application, scroll down the folder until you reach the LETTER "R". you will then see a .zip file named "rom". copy that file onto the desktop or any other folder. rename it to ESPRIMG.ZIP.
10. format your SD CARD to FAT32. once the format is complete, copy/move the extracted rom/ESPRIMG.zip file into the sd card.
11. put SD card in the phone.
12. Hboot should then detect the esprimg file.

Hello,
I am in the same boat. I recently purchased a EVO4G from a friend. The phone was rooted and I would like it to be unrooted. I've tried to unroot myself but it hasn't work. There was a pretty good guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 that I tried to follow. Unfortunately, I could not get the UnRevoked S ON Tool to work and I ran the PC36IMG.zip file. I seem to be stuck in a loop and I cannot get past the HBOOT screen. Also, when I go to Recovery, I get a Red Triangle with an exclamation point.
The information on the phone is as follows:

2. Rename to PC36IMG.zip
3. Place in root of SD Card (Make sure this is the ONLY PC36IMG.zip file on your SD card)
4. Boot into HBOOT (press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button)
5. Once in Hboot highlight and select the "Bootloader" option. Allow bootloader to detect the PC36IMG.zip
6. apply the update by pressing the up volume button when prompted. (will take several minutes for update to apply)
7. Check your Hboot to make sure you have S-on. If not, then **CLICK HERE** and follow Captain Throwback's method for getting S-on.
8. Enjoy newly unrooted phone
Zip file will replace EVERYTHING. Stock splash screen, boot animation, up to date OTA release, recovery, S-ON, and HBOOT.
I used this method last night when unrooting my phone because I thought I would have to take my phone into Sprint today. However, running this zip happened to resolve the issue I was having so I turned around and rooted again.
I would give credit to whomever it was I saw this unroot process from but unfortunately it was late and I was sleep deprived so I do not remember. Either way, I do not take credit for it whatsoever. If I come across the one who suggested it I will edit this post and give the credit that user is due.

First let me apologize for being a noob.
I used the RUU method for unrooting my phone. Phone shows S-ON. But HBOOT still shows 6.17.0001. I'm sending the phone back to Sprint for a replacement b/c the charging port is loose.
Can I still use this method to get HBOOT back to factory settings?

OK, I figured out that, for some reason, the MBP was not reading the file as a .zip so I actually zipped it, loaded it onto the SD card and went into Bootloader. It found the file as a bar on the right side of the phone displayed and began to fill up. During this process, the following was on the screen:
Loading
PC36DIAG.ZIP
No Image
Loading
PC36DIAG.nbh
No image
Then after the blue bar fills the screen changes for a second and it says Parsing
Then it goes back to the Fastboot screen.
Any ideas?
Also, someone that unroots phones told me the issue I am having is called a "Soft Brick". Can anyone help?!
Thanks

What you are seeing are not the files you are trying to flash. You are trying to flash a PC36IMG.zip file, not a PC36DIAG file. You said you zipped the file on your own. You have to make sure that when it is zipped it is done so as a storage file and not with any type of compression. If you compress the file when it zips then it will not flash. So remove the zip file from your sd card, rezip it using ONLY storage method, recopy it to your SD card and then try to flash it. Make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip EXACTLY as I have written it. Also, make sure there are no other PC36IMG.zip files on your SD card at all. Otherwise you can cause problems.

Using that method will send you COMPLETELY back to stock. That method modifies your splash screen, boot animation, operating system, hboot version, radio update, and a few other things. When you flash that file you will be 100% stock, unrooted, and up to date.

The red triangle means that you do not have a recovery installed on your phone. If you can get into HBoot then use the method I posted above with the PC36IMG.zip file. That will take care of everything for you in one simple and painless step (including the red triangle).

Thank you for the help and now pardon my ignorance. What do you mean by zipping using a storage method? Is this normally an option in zip programs? Right now I only have the zip program that comes with OSX and The Unarchiver but I believe that is only for unzipping. Do you have any suggestions? EDIT: I found a program called Keka. Under the options, I picked "Store". I ran the zip, transferred the file to the memory card and the phone did not recognize the file. I even tried to download the file again from the post above and rezipped it using "Store", transferred it and tried again...same result. I am stuck.
In the past, I've tried to rename the file PCIMG36.zip without zipping it and the phone could not find the file.
Thanks
It all goes like this - I wanted to root my WPS to solve space problem, although, there was a solution for it without rooting, I figured I will be wanting to use some apps that need root access and some roms sooner or later.
So I did a search and found few ways to root my phone. Being a lazy ass I decided to use "the simple" one click solutions - gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) or Root Unlocker (http://www.unlockroot.com/) This was no success. Gingerbreak kept rooting when I launched the app, but Root Unlocker displayed " FAIL TO GET SHELL ROOT". I figured that problem with Gingerbeak might be that I updated the software to the latest version -
Then I went on and tried another tutorial(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275). Everything was fine till I selected Recovery from bootloader. It got stuck with white HTC logo. Took out the battery tried to use newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery, but still was a no-go. I also can't do a factory restart. I can't do it from bootloader or settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset. (But could do it at first. Before trying to root my device I did a factory reset once.)
Is there a way to use another Recovery (not CMR) or force Recovery from fastboot? As I found there are some other people that got stuck with similar problem.
Other problems:
My phone doesn't show up in HTC Sync. Althought, when I tipe adb devices in cmd, it shows up. I did turn my AntiVirus off when I installed HTC Sync, but it still didn't display my phone.
I also found that I can't boot when I connect powered off phone to my pc. I have to take off my batery.
Here are my specs:
Model HTC Wildfire S A510e
It shows Marvel in bootloader.
Phone was S-OFF when I bought it.
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sence 2.1
Software number 2.26.401.3
I bought my phone without a contract from a local internet shop. I am from Baltics.
The phone might be somewhere from Europe.
My bet would be Poland. (guessing that manual language is Polish, but I might be wrong)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE!
I took the original recovery img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426611 and flashed it. All went well. I did a restart (after doing this I was able to boot power my device while connected to pc) and had another try with CMR recovery, but it didn't work. I also I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406321 recovery img, but it didn't help, I still can't get into.
How to root Wildfire S S-OFF the easy way
First download this
Put it in your memory card
then press and hold voldown+Power
It will load the bootloader follow the instructions on the screen and update accordingly
Then Turn off
Remove that PG76IMG from sdcard
After that download this and put in your memorycard and update same way, it will flash the CMR5.0.2.8 (after flashing dont forget to remove this PG76IMG from sdcard as well).
Now download this put it in your mmc and flash this from recovery.
Done.. U have successfully rooted Ur S-OFF device Now In CWM do factory reset install new custom rom according to the way devs say. I can assure U that this process will even remove Ur white screen
im stuck too on the recovery s-on btw and bootloader unlocked
ME TOO
but i m s-on
Same problem here, unlock by htc-dev worked. Recovery flashed but device stays stuck on the HTC logo. So my daughter's phone is unlocked but that's it.
Thanks, but now I am simply stuck with white htc logo on black background with purple line after entering recovery.
There might be another work around with fastboot, but also have a fastboot remote: not allowed.
Let me know

I dont understand. If ur splash screen changed means u have installed cwm. Just select recovery and install a rom. Like this one
Download the rom. Put in ur sdcard.
remove battery
press vol down+power
press vol down
press power to select recovery
In recovery to move press vol up/down, to select press power
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced>> Wipe Dalvik cache then also wipe battery stats
Go back
Install zip from sdcard
Select the romname.zip put in sdcard
that should be it instructions are also found in that rom. thread so simple!!

Here is a flash file you can try since you are S-Off. It should flash the default splash image, CWM 5.0.2.8, hboot 1.03 and re-calibrate the touch panel.
Hope it works for you.

I have the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV.com, though with S-ON. In any case...
My WFS is running 2.3.5, it's A510e.
installed recovery image 5.0.2.8 via console (had trouble installing it from the SD card).
each time I attempted to go HBOOT > RECOVERY, my phone would reboot, but would be stuck in black screen with the nav buttons at the bottom lit up (HOME, MENU, BACK, SEARCH).
installed recovery image 6.0.1.0 via SD card, going to HBOOT > RECOVERY will restart the phone, but it freezes on the white screen with the green HTC logo
downgraded to recovery image 6.0.0.3 via console, same problem - frozen on the white screen with the green HTC logo.
at this point, I'm out of ideas, but it seems that recovery image is at fault here?

Hi,
I read boot-looped for many in this thread...
I Hope this method would solve all your problems....
Follow and flash these system.img, boot.img and recovery.img file as in the link. (You must have installed .net framework on your PC).

Nope didn't work. I reflashed each of the boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img, manually though, since the utility didn't work for me. To do this, I booted into HBOOT, then FASTBOOT, and ran commands from my machine "fastboot flash <image type> <image.img>", where <image type> is either boot, recovery, or system, and <image.img> is the corresponding image (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img).
It seems my recovery cannot boot from HBOOT. It simply gets stuck.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6, the phone appears to shut off completely.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.8, the phone will shut off except the Android buttons at the bottom are lit up.
I don't know if I can use later CW recovery images, but I tried 6.0.0.3 and I get stuck at the white background with green HTC logo when attempting to go into RECOVERY. Downgraded back to 5.0.2.8.
However, I gave the HTC SuperTool v3 another try, and this time it worked. Previously was giving me errors.
So... to those that are stuck, boot your phone normally. Make sure to go into Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging. Also enable 3rd party installs, just in case.
Then proceed to STEP 3 on this page http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html

It appears that the latest Wildfire S has a slightly different firmware, possibly for the video chip, which causes the CWM Recovery not to work. Perhaps there'll be a fix released eventually, but for now you can follow the thread above for some possible workarounds and more info.

Nope didn't work. I reflashed each of the boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img, manually though, since the utility didn't work for me. To do this, I booted into HBOOT, then FASTBOOT, and ran commands from my machine "fastboot flash <image type> <image.img>", where <image type> is either boot, recovery, or system, and <image.img> is the corresponding image (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img).
It seems my recovery cannot boot from HBOOT. It simply gets stuck.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6, the phone appears to shut off completely.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.8, the phone will shut off except the Android buttons at the bottom are lit up.
I don't know if I can use later CW recovery images, but I tried 6.0.0.3 and I get stuck at the white background with green HTC logo when attempting to go into RECOVERY. Downgraded back to 5.0.2.8.
However, I gave the HTC SuperTool v3 another try, and this time it worked. Previously was giving me errors.
So... to those that are stuck, boot your phone normally. Make sure to go into Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging. Also enable 3rd party installs, just in case.
Then proceed to STEP 3 on this page http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html

It finally worked. I am rooted. Thanks mate and everybody (who hasn't already received a thanks) that joined this posts receives virtual cookie from me and thanks.
I flashed stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21891784&postcount=1 and run SuperTool and it worked.
It took me a week, but it is finally done. Let the good times roll.:laugh:

It appears that CWM 5.0.2.8 actually works, but it doesn't provide any output to the screen. With ROM Manager, you can automate starting into CWM Recovery and installing a custom ROM, so it doesn't matter if the screen is blank.
Hi all,
I'm in desperate need of help here, I purchased an already modified HTC One M9 (which i wasn't aware of when purchased) and have attempted to flash it back to Stock.
well i've made a real mess of it and I really don't understand what to do now if someone could help it would be greatly appreciated. as the phone currently stands:
I've somehow removed the TWRP and it boots into standard recovery
Its been wiped as a pre-req of a guide i followed to install the stock image so it wont boot at all
I can't get my PC to see it when i boot into Download mode, so ADB and fastboot do not see it.
I'm tearing my hair out and really wondering where i can go from here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Several things that would be helpful to know, if you can:
About your phone
- your phone's carrier variant (AT&T, T-Mobile, developer, et cetera)
- what you can boot into (recovery, bootloader, download)
- are you S-ON or S-OFF (boot into bootloader, see upper left hand corner)
About your computer
- what drivers have you installed on your PC
- whether or not HTC Sync is installed on your PC
Depending on what you can boot into, an RUU is your safest option - you'll need to download the RUU that corresponds to your phone's carrier variant. Barring that, if you can boot into download mode, you should be able to install TWRP - which may open up some other options.
The carrier is a UK model unlocked factory so i'd imagine just the standard EU model.
I can get into Recovery which is the standard Android one, Bootloader and Download mode
S-ON which is what confuses me, alot of these posts are regarding S-OFF devices
UPDATE: I managed to figure out i was running 2.10.401.1 so i downloaded the corresponding file for it. Formatted an SD Card to FAT32 and put the file on named 0PJAIMG.zip
It looked like it was working but failed on System.img, the device rebooted and now its stuck on white HTC screen with the Green HTC logo.
I can't turn it off, its just stuck there, any ideas?

I'm sorry for the late reply. I hope you've had better luck in the meantime. If not, you can force a reboot by pushing and holding the power button & volume up.
If you can reboot, see what you can boot into. From what little research I've attempted on your carrier's software offerings, I'm not seeing an executable RUU (ie, installable from Windows). If there is one, that is by far the most dependable way to restore your phone to stock condition.
If you're intent on using the SD card install method (or it is the only way), you might consider ensuring that it is a reliable card. A read failure in the middle of a firmware update might explain the install issues you're having.
Beyond that, I'm afraid I don't have any further advice; I've reached the end of my experience! But if you still need help, please post an update and let us know what is going on.
Get a fresh SD card and pop TWRP or CWM on it along with the stock image. Automatic recovery and 3 wipe there we go. I only got boot loops when I was using a corrupted SD. Also, try both the ones with the underscores replacing spaces and regular names. One of them seem to be a decoy, as far as I can see.

That file is corrupted and shouldn't be used. You can try reviving your phone by using this RUU service since there is no working 2.10.401.1 RUU you could use.
HI all. I am in serious need of help please.
My wifes M9 is stuck on a screen with only a backlight. How this came about is after several failed attempts of updating the system via Wi-Fi. South Africa does not have a RUU available and only over the air updates are available
After about 2 days on the net, searching and reading and trying and failing I have determined the following.
What I have tried
1. Boot to Bootloader and tried recovery. This give me an Error - "Failed to boot to recovery"
2. Tried a Official RUU from HTC, this failed due to CID - Error wrong Customer ID
3. Learned a bit of ADB but this is no use as It seems USB debugging is disabled on the phone
4. Tried Custom ROM's via the SD card but this is blocked as the phone is **Locked** and **S-On**
5. Fastboot sees the phone as I can push reboot commands but because of locked status I can not do much
6. I can not get a unlock token as OEM is locked and this must be unlocked for ADB command to get token to get unlock.bin from HTCDEV
Basically it seems like I am at a dead end as it appears that I need to get into a boot status to enable debugging and enable developer mode from phone settings to be able to work from ADB
So here is the Million dollar question, How can I "wipe" the phone with a SD card boot image/loader or does any one know of a RUU-.exe for South Africa CID_016 that I could flash the phone with or possibly any other methods to get a ROM on it that we can use it again
I repeat, phone goes to blank screen with only backlight after HTC Logo, S-on, USB debugging seems to be disabled and it is in Locked status. I am able to boot in download mode and bootloader and fastboor does see the device. ADB devices does not see the phone, even after trying loads of different drivers, ADB USB ADB Interface etc etc
Please I need help
I'm suffering from the same fate. Except I had rooted it before, then I tried to update it to 5.1 and I relocked my bootloader. Android 5.1 loaded successfully but it got stuck while booting and now I can't unlock my bootloader. I have tried EVERYTHING!

1.download this zip file
2. Rename the file to 0PJAIMG.zip (zero not O)
03. Copy the file to the root directory of a SD card which is formatted to fat32
04. Put the card into your phone and boot to Download Mode.
05. You will be asked whether you want to flash the file. Confirm with the volume up button.
06. Your phone will reboot at least one time. Depending on your current firmware version it may reboot to Android instead of rebooting to Download Mode. If this happens you just need to shut your phone down and manually boot it to Download Mode.
07. Flashing may take some time.
08. At the end you will be asked to push the power button. You phone will shut down if you do so.
09. Wait some seconds and then turn your phone on, again.
10. First boot may take a while.
11. Congrats! thanks to flippy
YES!!! OP I tried this and it works!!! My phone is finally alive again thanks to flippy's instructions.
Maybe I missed it, but I spent an entire day yesterday trying to find THIS solution. I didn't know it was this particular one, but I would have tried it first if I could have found it somewhere obvious. It really should be stickied as a "How to unscrew what though hast screwed"!
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this Degerli43! I know virtually every answer possible is available on this forum, but finding it is the trick!
Note to anybody else doing this, be sure to locate the correct image file for your provider and area, as the link above and the one below may not be the correct one for you. I am a T-Mobile US customer and used this one -
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...6ce7fb817fc1524b58f67fe05270f032107d2306abcd4
This worked perfectly after I could not boot or enter TWRP recovery. Anybody who can still access Android Recovery the Downloader should be able to use it to get un-bricked to a clean carrier state if the image file will take.

Did you ever visit the general section? :silly: There's a sticky thread with stock files and linked instructions for recovering TWRP backups and flashing RUUs. Read the OP, follow it's instructions to my google sheet and you will see where the steps that helped you out are taken from.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Labs
Need some help on how to get the download mode back.
so i have HTC 10, Nougat. S-off and unlocked bootloader,
had some issues with my phone so i formatted the user data from TWRP, the went to flash the original stock ROM, something went wrong obviousely so now i lost the ability to get into download mode.
if i press the power and volume down the phone just gets stuck in boot screen, i can get into the bootloader and recovery (not the TWRP) by pressing power and both volume buttons, bot from recovery I seem to fail flashing the ROM again, it fails on the signature check and even via ADB i cannot boot to download mode.
Any advice on how to get this issue sorted. i want to get the twrp or reinstall the rom again.
PS placing the rom.zip on the SD card is not doing anything as the phone bypasses that step automatically
thanks in advance

I cannot, when i pick download mode it goes straight into a boot loop and gets stuck on the HTC logo screen nothing else happens
push vol down vol up and power
Since the computer can talk to the phone, I would try the RUU executable.
(hard to help troubleshoot not knowing what you did but flashing "original stock ROM" via TWRP is a problem)
If you're getting a signature check fail, investigate that. What file are you flashing? How are you trying to flash it? Does downloading it again and comparing the two show any differences (if there isn't a hash to verify it)?

thanks for your comment,
I will try the RUU method tonight and see if that makes any difference.
I was flashing the Original Stock ROM, but i did that from SD card not TWRP, but during the flashing the phone rebooted multiple times and then i ended up with this issue. i am pretty sure I am trying to flash the same file, but will check the Hash just to be sure.
the issue the annoys me is that i cannot access the download mode, if i could then i will flash TWRP again and restore from backup images i have.
I want to say there's a condition where you have to flash twice but I'm not certain on that but it wouldn't hurt.
The signature fail is a concern; hence getting a new file. Are you exctracting 2PS6IMG.zip from the RUU via the decrypt tool? That's what I've always done to ensure I have the correct file and intact.

oh thanks for that tip, I used a zip file downloaded from easy-firmware.com
but tonight will try to extract from the RUU. will see how that goes.
really appreciate you taking time to respond

Yeah, there's a lot that can go wrong there, like downloading the wrong one, the poster making a mistake, not to mention its an unknown source--especially since you're S-OFF.
Ensure you get the correct version from htc.

ok here is the latest development, wondering if anyone has any advise,
firstly extracting the file from the RUU and flashing it did not work. however i managed to find a little app called Windroid that allowed me to flash TWRP from the bootloader (without the need to go to download mode)
but I soon found out that the phone lost all its partitions. so i cannot wipe, format, install anything, but i can see a bunch of folders and filed via the TWRP file manager.
used ADB fdisk -lu I only see one single partition end was only able to remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.
any advice will be highly appreciated I am not sure how to proceed here
thanks in advance

If you're still in this trouble: -Search for your actual installed ROM (the firmware zip with a lot of other zips inside), deRUU it (search on google how to decompress a RUU) and flash via BOOTLOADER the hosd_signed.img image (this is "download" and "RUU" modes). You can boot to BOOTLOADER holding both volume buttons and power together (try more times if it wont boot).

thanks for the response, I want to try this method too, just wondering do you have any idea how to flash the file form bootloader, given i donot have fastboot, or more precisely fastboot would not see my device, but adb does.

Flash in bootloader the hosd image for your actual firmware and you should be able to use fastboot/download
