ok my device works in HBOOT , and in the tutorial how to root the rezound worked just fine, but my phone never turned on in the first place,(reason why I rooted it) just gets stuck in the HTC splash screen…..how can I add the stock and or custom rom to the phone without being able to go into the phone itself?
fyi it was rooted and unrooted by someone else then flashed by a dealer who I believe messed it all up.
I just want to use the phone again!
thanks

I think I will try, going to step 4 on the “how to root guide” and load the stock .img file to me that seems like it should work 😉 IDK
