[Q] Bricked my Desire Z.... I think (screenshots inside)

I rooted and did s-off and installed a custom ROM about a year and a half ago when I first got my phone.
Last night I obviously missed a step when I tried to update my ROM to Cyanogenmod.
Stuck in Hboot loop. My phone is recognizable in adb when it's stuck at the white HTC screen. I can power into fastboot but the volume buttons don't work so I can't access any of those options.
When I type "adb devices: it says: HT0AMRV07945
When I type "fastboot devices" nothing is found
Here are some screenshots:
No buttons work on this screen so I have to go into Hboot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I mistakenly hit up instead of down and said yes to updating:
This is the only screen where my volume and power buttons still work.

Looks like the prob is that you have 2 update.zip's find the duplicate and rename reflash rom after wiping to ensure a good flash. That should work I had same prob.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA

I can find the duplicate by removing the card from my phone and inserting it into my PC. After that I don't know how to wipe the phone and load a ROM from the hboot screen.
Or are you saying it should boot normally after I rename the duplicate update.zip?

Hmm... is there anything named PC10IMG.zip on your sd card?

Go into recovery
1) Remove all ZIP files from your SD card (only the files that are NOT contained in any folder). So your phone will not try to install anything when in HBOOT.
2) When adb is working you can boot into recovery using the following command:
adb reboot recovery
3) From recovery you can do:
Wipe cache partition
Install a new ROM
Install a new radio
4) While in the white HTC screen you can get some log messages from the phone using adb. Some examples:
adb logcat : Shows logcat information (phone log)
adb logcat *:V : Shows verbose logcat info
adb shell dmesg : Shows kernel messages
adb shell ps : Shows all running processes of your phone
5) When still stuck you can write me a private message at XDA

[How To] Installing ClockworkMod Recovery On Samsung WIND T999V! EASY!!!

Ok guys, after about 3 days of search i finally find how to install Clockworkmod Recovery (Touch Version) on my WIND T999V so im sharing it with you!
Assuming you are already rooted right? Ok then read on!
If not then i suggest you follow mrRobinson's thread on how to root.
Note: THIS METHOD WILL TRIP YOUR COUNTER!!!
So if you worrying about that then please read how to remove that using Triangle Away here
I would like to quickly say im not responsible if you brick your device! so please take the necessary precautions etc​
Ok lets move on.
Files needed:
FIRST Make Sure that the Samsung USB drivers are installed. You can find it here
Odin: Located here
CWM Recovery: Located here (Although this is for T999V other phones are listed but im not sure if the procedures are the same)
MD5 Checker: Located here (This is to check your download files to see if they are complete or correct files)
Download Odin.
Turn off your Phone and Turn it On While Pressing, Volume Down + Home + Power button until you see the download mode screen, Press Volume Up to continue.
Open Odin in Computer and connect your device to PC, while it is in the Download mode.
If your Phone is successfully connected to PC, the Odin port will turn Yellow with COM port number and in the status section you see <Added!>.
Now Click on PDA and select the File "recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.4.3-d2tmo.tar" (would be better to rename it something like recovery.tar).
In Odin, Check Auto reboot and F.Reset Options if they are not already checked.
Now Click the start button and wait for the process to complete.
After the installation is complete you device will restart and once you see the Home Screen, unplug the cable.
You should now have CWM Recovery installed!
To check turn your phone off and press Volume Down + Home + Power.
OPTION 2
Ok so after a few more brain storming, trials and error i found out that i can actually install CWM from ROM Manager without going through the above process. Anyways i am leaving it just in case some users need it.
Now its simple to get CWM for your phone!
First Download ROM Manager (if you are rooted)
Open the app
Select Recovery Setup
Select INSTALL OR UPDATE RECOVERY
Select the Option Button >>>>>

}
Select Show All Devices
Select Ok at the popup
Scroll Down untill you see Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile) (it should have d2tmo below it)
Select It
Select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Wait until its finish and you are good to go
Note: If you want to support the dev you can Select YES at the Flash ClockworkMod Touch before you Select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery its just $1.99!
Its easier to use anyways!

2nd method with ROM MANAGER worked well on my wind s3.
Thanks for sharing

Root is not required for the first step. Both methods will work for all T999 variants in case anyone is wondering. Good write up

Try this
To download a ftf(a flashable file this is in types choose your type e.g, my mobile is
Xperia m c2004 so I choose "Firmware C2004 15.2.A.2.5 Generic Unbranded Brazil (4.2.2 JB)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697277
And this by myself
Do as I say don't add anything
Now first of all download these
1.Flash tool (I know you already have)
2.Download CWM.img link(ignore if you already have)
LINK2-http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00124/TY6....1.5%20ROM.img
3.open flashtool and select flash icon and choose Fastboot
4.Now connect your device while pressing volume down button(device must be switched off by removing direct battery)
6.flashtool will show message "device connected in fastboot" then continue to next step
5.Now after choosing fastboot menu there is a option "Select a kernal to flash" select that option and browse the folder where you have downloaded CWM.img now you can't see that .img File because the browse the location that you have selected has by default extension ".sin" just select it to ".img"(see attachments) and flash it.
6.After this Turn on device and the notification below device glows pink.Abruptly hold volume up button and enter CWM recovery and select mounts s backup and format /system /boot /cache /data.
7.Now connect it to flashmode and flash the desired ftf(don't flash any other) choose from top given link
8.Comment Straight forward it works or not

What app is that.
Try wifi instead of data. Check if data is available as well.

Already tried changing to wifi and to mobile data still the problem persist. I want alternative solution such as PC bootloader unlocking. Can anybody know the steps how to do that???

Use unofficial unlock method.
Unlocking
1. Download this rar and you'll get 2 folders namely unlock and ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows
2. Install the drivers according to your OS and go the unlock folder
3. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing volume up + power on at the same time.
4. Connect it to pc and open unlock.bat in unlock folder
5. Done

UNLOCK Bootloader Zenfone 5z APK from ASUS Website
Hi Guys, I found this file for unlocking the boot loader officially from the ASUS website, It can unlock the boot loader after the latest update too. Please note If you unlock your boot loader you will not be able to get OTA update but you can...

Recovery_ramdisk EMUI 10 with access to patched eRecovery (with TWRP installed on it)

For those who want keep the erecovery as a fail-safe.
Fully functional on our device except for OTA updates (logical).
If you enter Recovery from TWRP or through the extended reboot menu, it is almost the same as on our EMUI 9.
But if you enter with the Volume Up + Power buttons, then an additional menu will appear from which you can enter other modes:
- Updating via dload method
- Updating from a computer via USB
- eRecovery mode
So you can enter eRecovery even though TWRP is installed on it , that could be very useful.
It works on stock recovery as well as on magisk-patched recovery.
( How to enter magisk-patched Recovery:
Boot into Recovery, when the yellow warning appears on the screen, press and hold Volume Up for ~ 2 sec,
release the button and immediately press and hold again for ~ 2 sec. Repeat it 6-7 times, the device will reboot into Stock Recovery ).
