Root [Sprint] Noobie in need of expert advise! Hansoon ERROR: "Devise not found"

After running CM10.2 (which was installed for me) I was able to RUU back to stock for the 4.4.2 OTA update. Trying to reinstall CyanogenMod I got stuck in bootloop, flashed back to bootloader to try and reinstall RUU but "there is no RUU out yet for OS: 4.06.whatever" (quoted from HTC customer service). Now my system is completely wiped and my PC (using Hansoon) cannot find my device.

P.S. My wife is due with our baby on FEb 14th and is NOT happy that I'm w/o a phone. Please help. (Will donate generously for some one-on-one guidance)

Namaste'

If you took the update why in the world did you try and reinstall CM ? ..
 
this is one reason i dont care for toolkits, they dont really teach you anything,and dont offer much support when you need it.

on to your issue,some basic info is needed to try and help you get up and running.

first,let us know the info in your hboot screen.

then,do this and paste the results(xx out esn and imie):

first download and install these drivers: revolutionary drivers (mirror)

then,download this small file:
mini-adb.zip

-unzip it,and place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive(not inside a folder)

-open a cmd window(with win 7,click start bubble,type "command" or "cmd" in hte search box)

-now change to your mini-adb directory(assuming you didnt chagne the name). type in the black cmd window that opened on your PC:
cd c:\mini-adb

-pull the battery in your phone for a few seconds. hold volume down,then power. hold them both until you see the white/colored writing hboot screen

-select "fastboot" from the hboot menu with the vol rocker/power button

-in your cmd window type:
fastboot devices

it should output your phones serial number. if so youre good to go. if not,youre apparently having a driver issue. i usually recomend these drivers from Revolutionary: modified htc drivers download and install the drivers(you should just have to run that file). afterwards,unplug your phone,plug it back in. make sure its in fastboot. as soon as you get a result from "fastboot devices" your ready to procede to the next step.

-in your cmd window,type(or copy/paste,is much easier):
fastboot getvar all

-copy the info that outputs here. right click in your cmd window,click mark,highlight it all in white. hit enter. paste the info here. it will help us know which ruu for you to run. :)

Anything yet? Or did I not do what it was that you asked me to do?

First thing your going to need is to get a working a recovery installed try this
Download TWRP 2.6.3.0 Techerrata Downloads - Browsing m7wls
and copy it to your miniadb folder
Go into fastboot USB (hold power + volume down - plug phone into PC)

Then from command prompt from your miniadb folder (rightclick + shift + open command prompt here)

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can go into custom recovery (Again hold power + vol down - choose recovery and tap power to enter recovery) and you should be good to proceed.

The next step would be to Sideload a Rom to your phone
Download this one >> Guru Reset M7 Sprint 3.04.651.2 - HTC1Guru

and copy it to your miniadb folder as well (anything you push or sideload or flash will go in this folder)
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type
adb sideload guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip

when it completes it should ask you to flash the rom choose yes

This rom uses an Aroma installer that gives you choice to install stock recovery or to root the phone. In your case I would choose the stock recovery and try and take the OTA update again after the phone is running
Click to expand...
I also found a Stock rooted 4.06 rom you could sideload if you don't want to take the OTA again
it's here >> xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM][4.4.2 Sense][STOCK]4.06.651.4 Rooted Deodexed and Odexed
 
Note that you can use the "miniadb" file that you used above for fastboot getvar all to run the fastboot commands clsa has instructed. You'll need to place your recovery image into this folder as well.

Just holler if you have any questions :)
 
Now it's telling me in cmd window "cannot read sideload" and in recovery>advanced>adb sideload it's telling me "E: Unable to mount" :confused:

I'm pretty sure I did. TWRP is working and installed.

Hard boot the phone hold the power button and volume down for 15 seconds and try sideload again.

Make sure you doing the steps in the correct order
hook phone to PC
Start sideload in twrp
start sideload on PC

try adb devices before sending the sideload command
what does it show ?
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
FA34NS901212 recovery

since adb appears to be working,try and push your rom to your "sd card":

adb push romname.zip /data/media/0/

where romname is the exact name of the rom youre trying to install

if that is successful,using recovery:
-wipe data/factory reset
-install zip from sd card(chose /0 then chose your rom)
 
I thought u was going to wait with flashing the phone til after the 14th. Now you have someone searching for a ruu stock didn't the stock I gave you work or what happen

he is s on,and there is no ruu for his build. he needs to flash a rom to get back to a working device

When I slide the twrp sideload slider thing it tells me E: Not Mounted

any luck pushing the rom as Scotty instructed ??

Update:
Got it here's the stock recovery for 4.06 so lets try. Its in my Dropbox here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/41f650diewakm96/Sprint_4.06.651.4_recovery.img

lets flash it and try a factory reset
fastboot flash recovery Sprint_4.06.651.4_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running <<< Important!

Phone will go out and start bootlooping. Now power off and go back to bootloader mode: (theirs a small chance your phone will work after this step alone .. if not continue on)

Go into fastboot

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can go into custom recovery and you should be good to proceed with the sideload or push
Click to expand...
Also the response from adb devices when the phone is in sideload mode should read h********** sideload <<... not recovery

also for completeness the entire firmware can be downloaded here in case you want to flash the default kernel also >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407568410
