Happy to see your responses, but unfortunately, there is no stock or custom rom available with me or on the net. Been to service center and explained them what happened, they are asking me to change Mobo for a cost, since the device lost its warranty. Just made my try to tell them to flash the required rom file and even boot files from recovery, but they denied to do so, due to some HTC rules.
The phone can very well enter in to fastboot and recovery.
When charging with power off, the battery % icon works well. Does it mean that system is intact and working but lost some of vital files???
If any body by chance come across a link to fine the rom for this model, pls share....
Thanks
Jay.

I spoke to HTC, the other day, and told them what happened...I simply argued that Mobo change should be in such cases where there is physical damage or I made S-off and over written the Nand partition. Since the S-on is very much present, and that that the boot-loader is showing all stock OS and firmware versions, why don't they just instruct the CC to flash the stock files once again. I told them that unless the CC receive an instruction from HTC, they cannot proceed forward. HTC was kind enough to understand and they instructed the CC to soft repair the set. Since there is not hardware tamper done and its only the software crash, they took the case upon my request.
Possibly my phone will be back in couple of days.....
Thanks for all the answers from your end....
Will update you once I receive the set soon....
Cheers

So I bought this asus tf300t that is softbricked for a low price. I've fixed many softbricks before but this one won't boot into fastboot nor recovery. Only nplex mode or whatever it's called. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks.

Sorry mate you've bought a lemon if it won't go to the bootloader and only apx mode.
Without previously saved nvflash blobs you are hard bricked with no way out
Sorry for the bad news.

Sorry but if you haven't previously done it then it is too late now to use that guide as you need a fully functioning bootloader and recovery to make those back ups. I know you don't want to hear it and it might be hard to accept but if you only have apx mode then you are hard bricked and there is nothing you can do other than replace the motherboard.
Don't know how else to say it

I installed a Franco Kernel so my device would charge faster. After I installed it, my device wouldn't boot. The device didn't react well to another rom's or kernels.
So it was an desperate attempt really , I wasn't aware of the consequences.
A guy on the live chat from Oneplus told me their tech support could take over my PC and they could install another rom. But the first open spot is like 3 days away.
Thanks in advance.

@Bjornc .. Untill you provide all information noone will help you ..
1. What was the state of your device when you did the flash ?
a. On which ROM it was.
b. Which recovery were you using ?
C. Have you took any backup of ROM ?
What is the state of phone now ?
Is it booting.?
Is it showing any boot screen?
Is it booting into recovery ?
Is it booting into fastboot ?
There are lot of things which can recover phone .. Provides you give enough information here ..

Question Hard brick

Hello good to all,
It turns out that I have the device with a hard brick and I can't find a solution to repair it, I've been looking for a similar thread, but nothing. It won't let me in, it's not fastboot, not in recovery or anything, and if I turn it on normally I get: The current image have been destroyed...
How I got to this situation, was after rooting the device with a tutorial here, which worked perfectly for me. It was later when I had the great idea of closing the bootloader with the rooted device, and since then it gives me this error.

1)Just go to service center , if phone is in warranty , they will just flash the device with STOCK ROM using msm tool (best )
2)however they might even replace motherboard for no reason but that will also fix the device (time taking)
3) last option is to use paid msm flashing services costs from 5to 10$ USD , you can find them by Google search (risky)

I had about the same problems, my GT Neo 2 does not load fastboot further. The cyclical startup process is repeated.
Stupidly, I understand now, I decided to wipe data in TWRP recovery
This is what it looks like - youtube
I tried to install custom recovery from this topic, all stages passed without problems, but at the end after rebooting fastboot loops
Have you solved this problem, if so, in what way?

udp
installing this method
but root I couldn't get here
I tried to unlock twrp using the magic installation, but the problem described above appeared

I think I have the same problem as others. Realme appears and restarts continuously. It does not go into fastboot because the boot loader is blocked. What can I do?
