Okay so basically it wont boot up it says HTC quietly Brilliant and just sits there.I would just install a new rom and what not but it acts as if the sd card wasnt there.I click install zip from sd card and the screen changes (to follow through with the command i assume) but then just goes black.I have tried factory wipes and stuff but I read that I need a stock rom.I dont care if I need to re-root I just need a stock rom to set it back to the day I bought it.


EDIT" ok so i realize now that I literally deleted my entire sdcard EVERYTHING gone completly not even directories


WHAT DO I DOOOOOO please help me

Have you got CWRecovery? If you have, flash any custom ROM then flash any stock
RUU, but before you can do that, you need to SuperCID your device.

If you have CWRecovery and you have made a backup of a previous ROM, just restore it.

Hold volume down and power and factory reset, or as stated before if your rooted go to cwm factory reset or restore previous rom

well unfortunately I dont have a CW restore because I was trying to wipe the phone completely (to get a fresh start).I noticed that I can fix it with ODIN somehow but it says I need a stock rom.So ur saying grab any of those Pyramid_RUU roms and it will work?

If u supercid with all ones you can flash a ruu.exe and it will bring ur phone back to life.

You don't have cwm or u just don't have a restore Rom?

Are u rooted or s-off?

If so put this file on the root of your sd card:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3XJEHM9A

Boot into recovery and flash and u will.have the newest cwm, than boot into recovery,than factory reset or download a rom of your choice and flash

You should be fine now.
