@Darkmind don't see the issue cuz pictures r not clear enough or enlarged enough on each screen but the one on the left is normal, just can't see what the one on the right says (sorry) also more description would be nice
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
The right one is the bootloader, but yeah, cant really tell the important info such as hboot etc.
But how is it bricked? what does it do? What doesnt work etc?
Generally though, if you can get into bootloader you can fix the device, but theres always some exceptions.
AW: Could this phone be repaired ?
It's an service offered on eBay an the owner said that some update went wrong. In my opinion it's totally fixable I add 2 zoomed pics

Its okay go for it , already an unlocked bootloader

Just use and follow 'Hasoon's All In One Kit', should be good to go?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Honestly they probably forgot to fast boot the kernel. Just run a RUU (After you relock the bootlaoder) and request for the Unlock_code.bin from the seller.

Don't anyone take this the wrong way including the OP, we night need to instruct in newb terms just so he can get this done.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
From the look of it, all you need to do is flash a recovery(TWRP), flash a rom, fastboot flash the boot.img and you should be good to go.
How to perform each step is listed in several guides already.

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.
no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

A few questions. You say your " Bricked " . What did you do to get the Device in this state ? Does it Boot into Recovery ? What Recovery are you using ? What Rom were you using prior to the issue ? What Kernel are you using ? Have you Updated your HTC Sync Drivers ? The reason I'm asking all these questions is that the more information you provide, the easier it is to help you.
Thanks a lot, everyone. Now I can fastboot into recovery, but I just can't flash any recovery into my phone. Now I have Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.8(really long long ago). And I can't flash any Rom either.

You need to give us more information...
So you can't boot up then? But you can get into recovery? Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? Did you flash a rom and then your phone got messed up? When you say "bricked" what do you mean by that, how serious is it?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
I can get into recovery only. And I think that if I can have my phone can be detected, everything will be fine.

So awhile back when I had my inspire I checked into unlocking it, and found the forum on here about the aahk advanced hack kit. I just recently started messing with it since I have a new phone. I've had some problems with rooting it. First time the process went about halfway through then quit. Now every time you try it the process will not cooperate and gives an error. Anyone have any suggestions for a noob like me to try and help in any way? Anything is appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
What was the output? And which version of AAHK?
What do you mean by output? And its an older version...probably from May 2012. I think there is a new version that came out in November 2012, i just don't know if I've bricked it by using the old kit.

Here is the video I used to root when I was on 2.3.3 Gingerbread. It's painless, but takes some waiting.
What is the error you are getting, exactly? D: and if you are on 2.3.3 try my link. ^.^ If you are on 2.3.5 or another version, try searching more hack kits for rooting that specific rom version.

Ok, step, by step, what did you do? And by output I mean what did AAHK say when it ran (both times). Also, what does it say when you reboot into hboot? (Reboot holding power and volume-down.)
Noob mistake I know, but I couldn't tell you. (Calc and physics has my brain fried...). I think I'm going to try the latest hack kit tonight and come back on here if I need help or get stuck. More than likely I'll be back.

Okay so here's what happened last night. I tried the new aahk (11092012) and it required a downgrade of the rom. Process went thru but however when it got to thr hboot menu I received a message telling me that the image was not found. I have a pic of the output where it tells me the downgrade is complete (if anyone wants to decipher it for me), all the way thru the hboot directions. Could this be a faulty sd card?

Well, this has happened to me before and a data/system/cache/dalvik format and then a reflash of CM 10 fixed the problem (IDK why but it did) Assuming you've already tried that I would flash back to a Samsung Official GB or ICS ROM and see if it works then.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNING TO STOCK SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.
If I helped you in anyway don't be afraid to hit thanks!
