frustrated need serious help bring SNS back to life

I have a SNS that has been unlocked and rooted. I want to go back to a clean original phone without the custom rom. Anyways I am not sure what happened but I can only either go into Fastboot mode or boot normally and get stuck on the "Google" screen. I really am not sure if I accidentally did something to cause this.
I have been trying every thread I could find here to just load some sort of recovery image. Problem is that my device isn't detected in adb. I can't push anything to the SNS. I can't even see straight since I've been at this for 5 hours. I have a pc running Vista. I have tried my Mac yet.
Please can someone help me. I am lost. Please spare the smart*** comments because I have tried and I have been at this for quite awhile.
thanks
Have you tried to use Odin to get back to stock. Its in the development section. You have to be able to get into download mode in order for it to work.

[q] help please! Bricked my device trying to get s-on incredible s

I was trying to put my phone back to S-ON after trying all the roms, i used the method of installing an unroot method i found on the web on my phone through terminal emulator.
Now my phone won't turn on, i've taken out the battery, left it for a bit and put it back in, and still won't work.
It';s definetly bricked, but i was thinking, if carphonewarehouse can't fix it, will someone let me know if they know anyways that i can fix it please.
It still charges just that it wont turn on no matter what i try.
THANKS
can you get in recovery mode?

[Q] HTC Inspire fades to black after boot, no recovery

Hey everyone. this is my last resort after scrolling for hours trying to find an answer. I think I softbricked my HTC Inspire after trying to flash a new radio. It fades to black after it boots to the HTC logo screen. I running the Ace Advanced Hack Kit again, but now it doesn't recognize the phone and I went to IRC channel and they kicked me off after I asked a question. I tried downloaded the original RUU and tried to flash it through the Hboot screen, but the phone doesn't recognize it. I know this is noob mistake and I'm trying my best to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You were kicked 'cause you failed to answer...but you can come back and answer all the questions we ask....to fix the mess flash the AT&T ruu or just flash the CWM recovery and flash a custom rom...you shouldn´t play with radios....is a delicate thing and you might mess the device.
If your hboot still says S_On then try this. On pc install HTC sync with drivers and make sure it's running. Put phone into hboot and then select fastboot and plug into pc. You should see fastboot usb on phone screen. Now run the ruu from HTC website. This will take you back to stock. If you are going to try the hack kit again uninstall HTC sync from pc before using it. If you experience the black screen leave it plugged in and just run it again. I believe the manual covers that very issue. Good luck.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Brilliant screen

I'm throwing in the towel and posting after looking for help on the threads, IRC, etc.
How can I reset my phone to stock? I no longer want root access, I just want a phone that works.
I have an AT&T HTC One X+ that I was trying to root using Hasson2000's all-in-one for the X+. If I don't push anything, it stays on the HTC simply brilliant screen. I can get to the white boot loader screen, fastboot, etc. Recover does nothing besides reboot, show the HTC screen, then go to a black screen. Factory Reset used to go to a black screen with a green arrow logo, but that doesn't happen any more. I used to be able to get to TWRP but it doesn't seem to like me any more. I've read threads about how you can use ADB PUSH to put a boot file on your phone, but I can't seem to find out where to put it. I got a stock ROM from Scott's ROMs, but I am unable to get my phone to be recognized by windows. Windows thinks it's an empty removable drive that asks me to put a disk in when I click it. I can get SOME adb commands to work, like adb reboot, but if I try to do anything else, it says it can't find the device.
Yes, I'm a noob, yes I screwed things up, but this is my only phone and it's a work phone and it might cost me my job. Lesson learned. I just need to get my phone back to working order. Please, please help.
Alternatively, it does have insurance, so I could let one my kids drop it into the toilet.
I know I'm not giving you much help, but you may want to find the correct forum for the phone you need help with.
It's surprising how the people that can't find the right forum for the phone they tinker with have so many problems!
It's never too early to get your kids involved in fraud because you can't do things right.
Sent from my HTC One XL
I appreciate the suggestion. However, I did not see one specifically for the AT&T HTC One X+. Since this was for the AT&T HOX, I figured this would be the best bet.
edit: Sorry I'm a dumbass. I found the forum for the One X+. Thanks again.

Firstly, you need to find the way to unlock your bootloader. After that, you can flash the TWRP and get in to recovery ( The original recovery cant access, dont worry, just flash TWRP after unlock bootloader) Next you will be able to flash the custom roms.
Your phone can boot to briliant screen, so it wasnt brick, dont worry.

RUU Error 171 Stuck on waiting for boot loader

As the title says, RUU attempts booting my phone but it never comes back on. Even selecting restart boot loader in fastboot or a command it doesn't power itself back on. I have read through other forums and nothing has worked for me yet.
EDIT: I should probably clarify fastboot usb WORKS. Ruu must see my phone considering it detects the ROM version and turns the phone off in attempt to reboot. Anything that I do that requires a reboot doesn't work. I have tried unlocking the bootloader again, everything is fine until it comes to rebooting then I must turn the phone on myself and nothing changes...... IT DOESN'T REBOOT ITSELF therefore seemingly nothing wants to work. And the HTC boot screen is gone??

What we're your steps exactly? Did you relock your bootloader

Yes I did through fast boot with the oem lock command. I've tried installing RUU with a Windows 7 laptop (has HTC sync software) and Windows 8 desktop (basic drivers). Both failed, tried using Windows XP/Vista in compatibility modes and running as an admin with the same results.
Error 171 is a connection error, meaning the RUU can't connect to/find your phone.
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, rebooting your pc, and installing it again. If you've got the Android SDK installed, be sure it's also fully updated.

No luck. And I believe it does see the phone in the beginning of the installation. It makes it reboot to the boot loader and that's where it loses the connection. The phone just isn't booting itself back up. I appreciate the reply, if you have anymore ideas please let me know.
Could be something got corrupted. Try redownloading the ruu. Does adb see the phone?

Re-downloaded RUU and still no go. And adb doesn't see my phone, will it on the fastboot menu? I'm not to familiar with it.
Does anybody else have some more ideas?

No. If adb doesn't see it, fastboot won't either. Does the command "adb devices" (no quotes) show the device as connected?
It sounds like the connection might be working for a few things (like rebooting the phone, as you mentioned). But I still think a connection issue is the main problem.

Fastboot does see it but adb does not. And what I mean by rebooting the phone in my last post is RUU attempts rebooting it from the boot loader which does turn the phone off but it stays turned off. I've used other commands to reboot the phone from the fastboot screen and those too turn off the phone then again it doesn't come back on like a reboot should do.
I have about completely gave up and going back to using a regular feature phone. I have watched a video about a jtag repair service and was wondering about that or just selling the phone as bricked on ebay.

don't sell it as bricked since it is obviously not bricked. you could get more money just saying you dont wtf your doing and gave up on it. but ill buy it as a bricked phone =) ill give you 50 bucks.

Well if it's not bricked then I sure wish somebody would lead me to the right direction. I have tried 5 different PCs (which all show as connected through fastboot) and they all came with the same error. I've tried everything I could possibly think of and I haven't seen anyone else with quite the same problem I'm having.
I still have not completely gave up and have already decided against selling it as "bricked". The bootloader still comes up so there is at least some hope.
i just had the same problem. the solution was simple - i switch usb-port from front one to the backside one which is directly on motherboard.

when you say it shows connected through fastboot what do you mean?
how are you getting the device into fastboot - through recovery??
oh, and what was on your device before you tried loading the RUU?

Yes this + if you're on a usb3 port try usb2. Also make sure you're using the cable that came with the phone as I understand other cables may cause issues like this. Also, avoid using a hub or usb extension.
Solution to error 171
I had the same problem and after many attempts I finally got it to work!
-Uninstall anything HTC related from your computer such as HTC Sync Manager and Drivers. Also delete any HTC folders from your program files.
-Make sure you leave the sdk and adb stuff that you downloaded.
-Connect your device via USB to your computer and let it recognize it. It will automatically install default drivers.
-A pop-up asking to install HTC Sync will appear, just ignore it.
-Make sure you set Fast Boot OFF on your phone, and Debugging ON.
-Leave your phone ON and run the RUU set up.
-Then follow the steps on the wizard and everything should work just fine!

I have a similar problem with my HTC One. I am stuck in the bootloader and any action I take leads straight into a boot loop. If I try to reboot, reboot-bootloader, go into recovery (twrp), or factory reset it goes into a boot loop. Also I can't lock the bootloader and flashing my recovery doesn't help, even though it says its a success. I've tried three computers and deleted and reinstalled drivers but still the computers only find my phone in fastboot usb and can't find it using adb.
This solution above won't help me since I can't get my phone on for the life of me. I tried running RUU and All-in-One Toolkit but no luck. RUU fails finding the bootloader since my phone gets stuck in its boot loop. I am fresh out of ideas so any other ways to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I found my phone is this condition when I pulled it out of my pocket. I never installed custom ROMs on it. It is unlocked and rooted though running 4.2.2 (3.05.651.6) hoot 1.55. The only thing I can think of is that an OTA update got pushed to my phone and bricked it. That or for some strange reason something went wrong with phone from the rooting process after two weeks of it working perfectly.
