Long story short, I tried to unroot my phone and now when I try to boot my phone, it just says Google. Nothing else happens.
When I open the bootloader and go to recovery, I get the little android with the warning triangle above his head.
If I press the power button and up again, I can go to apply update from sd/card.
Navigate to clockwordmod/download/ and choose any other rom that I have downloaded I get an error saying E:signature verification failed installation aborted.
I have noticed that in the bootloader it says: LOCK STATE - LOCKED
When I hold volume up/down keys at same time and and plug usb into computer, I get the "Unlock Bootloader" Screen, but no option to unlock the bootloader at the bottom as there should be, and I can't do anything from this screen.
I cannot access my phones internal sd card from my computer because I cannot enable usb debugging. At least I think that is what the problem is, When I connect phone to computer via usb PDA.net gives message HTC Sync Error.
Any help would be great, this is my first android phone and I don't know what to do from here. Been googling stuff for a few hours with no luck.

I have managed to get the PCeU Ransomware onto my Tab and now when I turn it on i immediately get the splash page asking me to pay up.
No matter what i do to try to get into Safemode or Recovery Mode it is no good I simply get the splash page up which prevents me getting any further in my attempts to remove it.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
I forgot to add that the usual method of getting into recovery is as far as I know the power button and volume up after turning the device off first (I have tried up and down volume as well)....i feel however that the device never completely turns off as when I hit the turn off option on the lock screen it shuts down but i dont feel the vibration that i used to get when it did this.

Try to force reboot recovery by using "adb reboot recovery" and wipe data and cache from here. If you want you can save data from TWRP
Greets
If you can get to download mode and reflash stock rom, it might work!
Cant get to download mode unfortunately. Is there any idiots guides for instructions for "adb reboot recovery"?
Scratch the above.. I found the above and was able to run the command prompt but the device does not appear to be found and when any command is run i get error: device '(null)' not found.
I can see the files on the device in Windows explorer however so would have assumed the drivers when correct.
I suspec the issue is that I cant get into usb debug because i cant get past the blasted ransomware splash screen.

Hard boot into recovery and then factory reset. Vol Up + Power until screen pops up then keep holding just volume up.
Hello, I just unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery (clockwork 6.0.4.8), and gained root on my HTC One S. I then attempted to install a custom ROM, (cyanogen 12.1).
After installing and telling Clockwordmod to reboot, I believe I am in a boot loop. The white HTC screen pops up and then goes to black and stays there. When I plug my phone into my computer, I get the connection and chime, and a new device appears in Device Manager called "HTC MTP Device." When I am in fastboot mode, my phone is shown as "Android ADB Interface" in device manager, so this is different. This leads me to believe that my phone is not dead or off, it is on with a blank screen. I do not believe my computer will recognize a device that is not powered on.
I have HTC Sync Manager and I have the option for it to automatically pop up when a device is connected. It pops up, but with an error saying HTC Sync Manager could not connect to your phone.
I am able to hard-reset the phone, by holding down the Power button for several seconds. However, this just repeats the process (White HTC logo screen, then black screen). I am not able to enter bootloader or recovery by holding down Volume and Power. I have tried Volume Up + Power, Volume Down + Power, and Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.
Also adb no longer recognizes my device, so I can not interact with the phone that way either.
Currently, my only idea is to allow my phone to die so I can try booting it into recovery from power off. But if there are any other ideas that would be great.
Right before I rebooted, after installing the ROMs, I got a message saying something like "Root possibly lost, do you want to fix root." I said yes, could this be part of the issue?
I am on Windows 10.

Just in case anyone stumbles on this. You can boot into the bootloader by Holding down the Power Button for several seconds, the soft buttons will blink, indicated ensuing reboot, when they stop blinking, hold Volume Down until you get to the bootloader menu. The phone does not need to be powered off for this. From there, adb/fastboot will recognize your phone, and you can factory reset if needed.
However, I figured out my problem. On older HTC models, including the HTC One S, you have to manually flash the boot.img file that is included in the zip for your ROM.
But now I've made it to the cyanogenmod boot screen and am stuck there. sigh. i've been at this literally all day.
In the end, I just flash a different rom, specially Candy5 as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/development/rom-t2964931 and it worked.
It's possible I accidentally flashed a rom that was incompatible with my device, not sure.
EDIT: I also switched from CWM to TWRP. Not sure if that helped.

I have broken volume down button, what can i do? face the same problem
What does it mean by manually flash boot.img? After flashing a custom rom, do not reboot first but flash the boot.img via twrp which can be found in zip for the rom?
I tried rooting my Pixel 3 tonite and was having success following along with the directions up to the TWRP part. I was able to get it onto my Pixel by typing the fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img.
Once the screen popped up on my phone it asked for a password, i just typed in one I use for most things and it went to another screen. I can't remember what i clicked on there but it rebooted and now I get the "your device is corrupt,it can't be trusted to work properly screen.
I can get it to go off that screen by holding power and volume down and I get to the fastboot screen but my platform tools doesn't recognize the device.
I think that is because I clicked of the allow USB debugging right before i did all this because I thought i had it done.
Anyone know if I can get out of this somehow?
Hey guys - I hope you're doing well.
I recently got an HTC U12+, but wanted to try using a custom ROM due to all of the bloatware . Unfortunately I think I've ended up bricking my device. Here are some things I've since tried:
- Restoring to the backup I made beforehand in TWRP - restore works without any errors, but then just hangs at the boot screen
- Method 1 from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/u12-plus/how-to/collection-htcu-u12-ruu-firmware-t3794664) - TWRP always says the zip files are corrupted for some reason
- Method 3 from that same thread - this actually worked before, but I tried installing a custom ROM again, somehow messed up again, and now this method no longer works as it just hangs at the "HTC" boot screen for eternity
- Both methods in this thread (https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-htc-firmware-ruu-and-zip/) - the first one leads to a "failed remote 99 ru unknown fail terrible mishap" error, and for some reason my PC doesn't see my phone when I try the second despite being able to see it in file manager
- Probably many other methods that I've now forgotten
I know this is a whole lot of information, but I'm in desperate need of some help. I typically like to troubleshoot things myself, but I've been trying to fix this for quite some time now and could definitely use another set of (much more experienced) eyes. I greatly appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks.
Flash RUU with SD card method
Download RUU from here(important:check your CID): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wIRrVQawd5rD-t9VKPQ-SdRK20RcJVZhwD7lhmPIK8w/edit#gid=0
1. rename RUU to 2Q55IMG.zip
2. copy zip in the root of your sd card. - external card / not internal - it will not work
3. reboot to download mode,
4. your device will pick up the zip file and flash it.
5.follow on screen instructions and enjoy your RUU(this method erase all your data)
I'm having an issue with my u12+ where it just continually reboots to a message saying "The boot loader is unlocked and the software integrity cannot be guaranteed. Any data stored on the device maybe available to attackers, do not store sensitive data on this device" and then it shows the white HTC logo that says Powered by Android down the bottom of the screen, it stays like that for about 5 minutes and then reboots and does the same thing over again.
Holding the power down button does nothing, it will not turn off the phone. Holding power and volume down does nothing either. The phone just does this every 6 minutes and reboots and cycle and that's it.
I've tried putting the file 2Q55IMG_IMAGINE_DUGL_O80_SENSE10GP_hTC_Asia_TW_1.53.709.1_Radio_sdm845-000201b-1807311356_release_531499_signed_2_4.zip (renamed to 2Q55IMG.zip) on the root of a 8gb Fat32 formatted SD card, but I just can't get into recovery or download mode.
I've tried holding down all 3 side buttons for minutes, or just the power button, or combination of buttons, they all do nothing to the phone. (it's as tho they are disabled, but sometimes holding a combination of the 3 will make the phone vibrate a little bit, but in no particular time or order)
When the phone is in either state (locked bootloader message or white HTC logo) my Windows 10 PC sees the phone plugged in as a "USB Input Device", not an Android Phone or Android Device. So using ADB or Fastboot commands do not work to it. I've tried to force the driver to the HTC driver but that does not work.
I also tried using the RUU_IMAGINE_UHL_O80_SENSE10GP_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.30.617.2.exe file, but once again it doesn't detect my phone.
Any help would be kindly appreciated.
Cheers!
EDIT: So I was finally able to get into download mode by waiting until the phone done its 6 minute reboot and then holding power down until it vibrated once, then held volume up until it vibrated again, then let go of the power button, I was then able to choose recovery, download etc.
So I managed to get the file 2Q55IMG.zip to install, it said it installed 100% okay. The phone rebooted and now I'm stuck again just at the white HTC logo and Power by Android down the bottom of the screen.
This time the phone is not automatically rebooting itself and no key combinations will make it reboot. I've tried holding them all in certain combinations for periods of time, the phone will not reboot or turn off.
EDIT 2: So maybe I didn't wait long enough after installing the 2Q55IMG.zip file, I finally got the phone to reboot and now I've got a working phone again. happy days :laugh:

Cheer mates, issue sorted. I just updated my comment in my post.
Not sure if I'm game enough again now to try and put LeeDrOiD and Magisk on it.
I tried to root my Moto G5s+ to install a more lightweight ROM.
I reset my phone and didn't even add a pin.
Unlocking the bootloader worked
Then I tried to install TWRP, it failed 3 times
Then I tried to boot the phone, it asked for a password
I didn't even add a password
When I tried to go into recovery mode, it said "No Command"
So i can't even use my phone now, Atleast it was my alt phone.
Look inside here:
How to Fix Android Recovery Mode No Command Error
The no command Android error has popped up for many users when in the recovery mode. But before we start, lets understand why it exists.
www.wawcase.com
At the no command screen press and HOLD the volume up and power key together and once you see the recovery menu release the keys.
