Apologies. I posted this first in another forum, but this appears to be the correct place for it, and I think I just messed up trying to post to this forum.
Hopefully this isn't too big a question.
My phone just did this all on its own, I was just browsing the web with it. Just running whatever was on there from Verizon and HTC, not rooted or anything.
Now all I can do is get to the fastboot menu, and can do a few things there. I just tried to go to hboot then factory reset, this after trying a lot of things, and it didn't work.
It's connected to my computer, it seems to be recognized, at least by "fastboot devices" but not by "adb devices".
It shows as "***LOCKED***" and "S-ON". Everything I've found that talks about changing those requires going into the settings, setting developer mode and or usb debugging. I can't see how to do that if I can't get into the OS.
I chatted online with HTC yesterday, and they said Verizon should help. I just spoke to Verizon, and they said HTC should help. So, it looks like I get zilch from either of them. At this point I'm looking for a data recovery company, maybe someone can crack the thing open and get my photos out of it.
The irony here is that if I had rooted the phone already I likely wouldn't be in this mess. It feels like encouragement to root these devices before they inexplicably choke.
Am I screwed?
Thanks for any assistance.
