I had the unfortunate accident of my 4a going through a full laundry cycle. I didn't expect it to even turn on, but it did.
No I am stuck at pic related.
Perhaps the memory is gone for good or something else? I am not expecting the phone to work normally, but I would like to get some pictures in their original quality, including some videos that exist only there.
Any ideas what I can do on my own? How realistic would it be for a recovery shop to be able to do it?

Since you're stuck at fastboot, you could try to flash full factory image...although, I wouldn't keep my hopes up high...
Let it rest for a full day first. Hopefully not all of it's main components were affected....

It has been a few days since the event. Wouldn't flashing a factory image delete all the data I am hoping recover, though?
Or do you just mean the boot image?

No, I mean full factory image.
To retain your data you just need to remove the "-w" flag you see at the update command on the flash-all script.
This is what I get

Seems to me that your bootloader is locked. You didn't unlock your bootloader, did you? If not, that won't work.
You could try the full OTA instead of factory image. See if it works.

I did unlock it, though. The phone is supposed to be rooted and all too.

I got this sensation from ebay as "New", and i tried updating the firmware, but when I unlocked it, it would say loading, and then freeze for like 15 seconds and then reboot. This is pissing me off, and I turned it off, held the power and vol down button and selected factory reset, and it's still doing the same thing. Is there any way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated!

I tried taking out my sim card and then booting it, and to my surprise, it actually booted for some reason. (Bad sim card maybe?) I'm going to try to update it via software update on HTC and then putting in my sim card after it's done updating.

Hi everyone !
Here I am in a really bad situation...
I bought a second hand phone with a rom issu and the guy who had it told me he ahd no time to waste trying to make it work again, I decided to buy it thinking that nothing could resist a factory reset via ADB.
But, and if I'm here today, it's because I'm in a such a situation, I need some help, and hope you guys can find a solution or at least some leads.
when I got it:
- model 16 GB D821
- The battery was not correctly attached in the phone (i did open it and put it back how it should be and seems to work)
- it is root, bootloader unlock, with Teamwin recovery version 2.6.3.2
- bootloader version HHZ11D
I can launch the teamwin recovery, it's asking for a password when it's starts, i don't know whay BUT I did a data format seeing that some people had some problem with it and did that to fix it
In Teamwin I got 0mb of storage and no OS installed, again it could be fixable via ADB
Now the best !
I can't flash anything on the phone. I can connect to it, it's well detected, I can control it (via ADB or Fastboot) and I can even had a temporary recovery with the nexus toolkit. but:
-Impossible to flash the bootloader, I do everything right, there is not "error" but at the end nothing changes, I'm back with the HHZ11D version and not the latest on I'm trying to get the HHZ11Z.
-Impossible to flash the recovery, same as the bootloader, version teamwin 2.6.3.2.
-impossible to flash a rom, and I don't have one anyway....
Here we are, I think I tried everything, but any clue would be appreciated. I hope I can fix this...
Thanks for your help.
And finally a picture of my fastboot -w when I do one, does it seem normal to you ?

Try in fastboot, fastboot oem lock. Then reboot and see if the bootloader is locked. I'm guessing it isn't and your emmc is bad.

No, you're hosed. Rma would be the option but not in your case. You're not going to be able to flash anything.

do post. i had this happen to me. then after entering any four numbers.. it said something about encryption and i then had to fastboot flash each individual file for the rom. if the same is happening to you.. all is not lost.
---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------
yeah i haven't seen that. you might try to format/erase the cache partition in recovery (pwr and vol-). or if stock recovery doesn't allow for this... then it would have to be done in fastboot/adb. i dunno... it is just an idea. cannot hurt to try. if it works.. you will not lose any data. otherwise you are probably going to have to factory reset/flash stock back on and lose app data. good luck
Maybe you have accidentally "butt" passworded your device. It looks as how it stands right now, you probably have to factory reset it using the vol- and pwr combo. I would try @phermey advice first, but not that hopeful looking.
Edit: sorry for all those that just received a mention. Kept getting auto corrected.

Hey. I'm kinda new to the android software and custom roms. I seem to always have issues with custom roms. I try to follow tutorials, but it just works for them, when I get errors
This is not the first time installing a new rom, but signal never disappeared before.
It's not there even on stock rom.

It's 0. When I installed custom roms before I didn't need to back up and restore IMEI, but it's gone now.
I flashed the radio and I see signal, but no one can reach me, when I call it says calling, but nothing happens.

This must be the wrong tutorial. Never do a "fastboot erase all" !

Can you get into bootloader? Completely turn off the phone. Then wait a few seconds to make sure it is off. Afterwards, press power and volume down at the same time until you see bootloader menu.
If you can get into bootloader, go to android flash tools website and reflash.
When the screen goes black to reboot, hold down power + volume down. You should boot to bootloader doing that. Then you can flash the factory image and that should fix it... I think. I've never used Pixel Flasher before. I just do everything manually myself.

Then you can can either download the factory image to manually patch (making sure to use platform tools r33.0.3 and NOT latest) or you can use android flash tools the website (If you use website, it's just follow instructions, select the image you want to flash, select options, then flash).

Are you rooted and do you have any Magisk modules installed? Sounds like maybe a Magisk mod may be in need of an update and caused a bootloop. If this is the case, you can choose to disable Magisk mods in Pixel Flasher and flash again.
Kind of hard to tell without much details given...
Worked thanks So much
I was rooted not sure how I screwed up back to factory now

If you reflashed the image you remove root. Just reroot and you'll be okay.

Like what Lughnasadh said, it is hard to pinpoint the reason why it screwed up without enough information. Could be platform tools depending on what version you used. And it could also be your magisks modules that are causing the loop. Or the options you selected in pixel flasher. Not sure tbh. Or maybe an entire problem we aren't aware of lol.
Personally, what I would do is a clean flash. Cleanest way to do it. Just back up everything. Do a clean install of the image. Reroot and reinstall all apps/modules afterwards.
