Bricked HTC One Max while Rooting

hi ankur,

I dont think so this issue occur in this kind of smartphone, they are easiest to unlock, You can do two things or help in this case.

First is that you can go to youtube and see and check that out how to do this task step by step

else you can take some help of professional to this task.

Just try to install STock rom your phone will work fine

Best option I would say is, watch few videos on YouTube on "how to unlock HTC Bootloader / install custom ROM on HTC (say One M8)" ...after watching 3-4 videos, you know exactly what you need to do without getting confused!

That's how I learned!

Yes, I thought as much. Even with HTC's step-by-step instructions, the process is complicated. Some people can do it easily I guess, but most will have trouble following them.

Well Pranay,
I am a developer myself. I make custom ROMs for HTC, Motorola and LG devices ....I know there are many steps...but at least HTC is providing a simplified solution...in case of other manufacturers, there are no clear instructions as to what is to be done.

If you actually follow the steps there, you'll realise that it is quite complicated. There are about 15 steps involved in just unlocking the bootloader and that's before you get to the actual rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing the ROM.

You guyz have a misconception... HTC phones are the easiest to unlock and root.

Visit here for official unlocking http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and follow the simple steps.. any further help, let me know...will give the exact details on how to do that..

But now that its bricked, google for HTC One Max offocial RUU. Download that .exe file double click and connect your phone to the PC... let it do the rest.. it will be up and running

It starts booting, but then it freezes up.

HTC's bootloader is ridiculously hard to unlock and rooting those phones is never easy. I'm sorry to hear about your experience, but if I were you, I wouldn't try to root any HTC phone.
