Haven't been to try a whole lot. Unable to use ADB commands or go into recovery so it's pretty difficult. Managed to erase data with fastboot but didn't help.

Try holding POWER + VOLDOWN (phone under a bright light,) after about 5 seconds, buttons should start blinking, and after 20 to 30 seconds, phone should reboot.
you may need to try 2 or 3 times, to get it to work.
Also remove your imei no and serial no from your fastboot getvar all. .that's your personal information.

That solution made the phone reboot but the screen is still dead

Can you get into recovery.. ADB only works with booted os or in recovery. you may have to reinstall a RUU. . or an nandroid recovery backup from here.

Well I think I got into recovery successfully but when I tried adb devices, it just said;

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

Managed to get adb commands working in recovery. Tried both RUU.exe and RUU.zip methods, both get stuck. I'm going to try and put S-ON back on, do you know how I can do this with my current situation?

Use TWRP 2.6.3.3 for your phone.. CWM as problems with kitkat Also you probably know this but you cant flash an RUU. Zip through recovery...

RUU exe

http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/o2-ruu-android/


fastboot oem lock
fastboot rebootRUU

and then launched the RUU. But they never seem to work for me, I never get this pop up, the InstallShield Wizard window just closes and doesn't re-open.


RUU zip

http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_4.19.401.11_deodexed.zip


fastboot oem rebootRUU <------- stuck here, CMD just says waiting for device even though still connected.
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot

Sounds like your still having problems getting PC to talk to phone. Have you got the latest adb version. Google it.. I'm at work for another couple of hours yet otherwise I'd check for you..

Type adb version on PC then check google

{EDIT} I think latest adb version is 1.0.31*

The RUU.zip you call it is a Rom not a RUU

the RUU.exe should be flashed with the bootloader in fastboot usb not fastboot rebootRUU

if your RUU.exe doesn't load use Run as administrator

I can run it fine in Windows 8, but unable to apply it to the phone due to "USB device not recognized"

When running on Windows 7 it shows the InstallWizard (below) and then nothing else happens after, even when running as admin.
