I have an HTC U11 Life, bricked, CID 332, Telcel operator, main version 2.16.600.1, and S-On. Unfortunately, there is no firmware with this build. I found firmware for this phone, but the only problem is the main version is different. How can I flash the phone with a different main version? Or even unlock the bootloader without enabling OEM unlock because the phone won't fully turn on?

I have an HTC One M8 Dev edition running CM12. I also have TWRP and S-OFF with unlocked bootloader. I want to know if I can use the RUU for marshmallow for my phone and if there are any steps I have to do before running the utility

I've been tinkering around lately with my HTC desire 510 and I feel like if someone doesn't shed a bit of light on this for me I'll be going around in circles. I'm looking at stock ROM's for my HTC. I found a massive amount of them and I want to figure out what the following terms mean/stand for on them: -A11, A11U, A11UL, A11CHL ? -K44, K443 ? -SENSE60 ? -0PCVIMG As an example I'm looking at the following ROM update utility: > RUU_A11_UL_K443_DESIRE_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.51.401.1_Radio_01.02.012_U10251_39.08.40922_release_398419_signed.EXE

## Background ## After 1 year of use, the most recent OTA to my HTC One rendered several key features, including the notification bar and the home and back buttons, unusable , effectively soft-bricking my phone. Although it was still under warranty, I decided to fix the matter myself, and also try a custom ROM. Unfortunately, I was unable to make a backup with ADB, because that was one of the functions the OTA update rendered unusable. First, I tried a few factory resets, to no avail. I decided more drastic measures were needed and unlocked my bootloader using the instructions at [HTC Dev](http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader) and installed a custom recovery, [ClockworkMod Touch](https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager) . I then tried to flash a new ROM, the newest snapshot release of [CyanogenMod](https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7&type=snapshot) , via ADB sideload. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the need to change the CID, and thus rendered main ROM completely non-functional. Around this time, ADB also ceased to function in recovery, and my device was no longer detected. A week or so later, I flashed a different recovery, [TWRP](https://twrp.me/devices/htconem7gsm.html) and again flashed it with fastboot. This restored ADB functionality, however, ADB still failed to detect my device in sideload mode, which caused me to be unable to use the Guru Reset tool I managed to download. I then searched for and found a RUU.zip for my CID, VODAP021, at [XDA forums](http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944) . I then tried to flash it. I re-locked the bootloader and tried to flash it with fastboot flash zip RUU.zip after putting the phone in RUU mode, which returned load_file: could not allocate (filesize) bytes presumably because 1.5 GiB was too much to handle. ## My question ## Is there and hope of unbricking my phone (HTC M7_ul) now that I can't access recovery or normal ROM, and have a relocked bootloader with S-On? If so how, and if not, what do you suggest I do with it?

I bought a an HTC EVO Shift 4G phone on eBay, but parts of the screen don't respond to touch. Different parts of the screen don't respond at different times. Also, sometimes when you type on the keyboard, the wrong letters come out. I tried searching all over the web for a ruu (if I got that right?) to set the software back to factory settings, but can't find any. This is after trying to do a hard reset, which didn't help. I've already spent hours trying to figure this out. Can this phone be fixed, and how?
