Input: Text: update: not so much a tifu anymore since i resolved the issue, but yeah. 

well, reddit, tifu pretty badly. it is now 10 hours post my absolutely stupid decision to root my phone and start trying to reload a different rom. 

background: i have horrible luck with electronics. i kill everything (not on purpose) and have absolutely no experience whatsoever with rooting and unlocking bootloaders and loading roms or using adb and fastboot. but, of course, i decided to jump right in.

history: i was really bored today watching my boyfriend play dragon age inquisition and was bouncing around on youtube. as it happens, i ended up landing on a video about converting my exact phone (htc one m7) into the rom for the google play edition phone. and, can you believe it? each video is only 6 minutes long. "i can totally do this," i think to myself. "it's a bunch of buttons and stuff. how hard can it be?"

well, reddit, apparently it can be hard enough to fuck everything up. surprisingly enough, i managed to download adb and fastboot easily enough and even got twrp on my phone (thank fuck for recovery options). i also managed to unlock my bootloader with no issues and even rooted my phone! i was on such a roll i decided to say fuck it and keep going: "psh, that was so easy", i thought as i basked in my technological abilities, "i could be a computer engineer!"

then, i download android revolution 82.0, went into twrp and started trying to apply the new rom. and boy, did i fuck up. i got stuck in a boot loop and decided to wipe the davlik (sp) cache, cache, data and system again... 3 times. each time after the wipe i tried to reload the new rom to no avail... boys and girl, i soft bricked my phone (if not a hard-brick... oh, please, don't let it be a hard brick).

i then decided to attempt an adb side load to push a different rom to my phone, only to discover that my adb is no longer locating my device. i apparently managed to fuck up my driver, as well. 

now, i'm sitting in the bathtub, with my laptop on my toilet cover thing (no water exposed, no worries), trying to figure this out. i work in 5 hours and thankfully i work with developers, but i don't know how much they know about phones. i promised my boyfriend i wasn't going to fuck up my phone; oops. thankfully, i managed to shut off the boot loop temporarily by selecting shut down from that one white menu with multiple colors that has the android logo skating around on a skateboard mocking you, so i have that going for me (which is nice). 

i should really just keep away from technology.

edit: spelling and stuff. i told you. it's been 10 hours. i want to cry.

edit x 2: already said it'd been 10 hours. i'm going to use improper words in inappropriate circumstances because i'm exhausted. also, to note, i've been trying to flash a new rom over, but my adb can't locate my phones drivers... ugh. 

edit 3- 24 hours later: still in the boot loop, but i'm moving forward slowly. apparently, arhd82.0 isn't actually sprint compatible (whoops). i managed to place viperone 7.0.1 on my sd card from my computer hard drive and flash it from twrp. so, now i have an (inoperable) lock screen that forces my phone to reboot when ever i attempt to unlock it, but at least now it looks like an actual lock screen rather than the "wtf-is-this-shit" fest that it had been on arhd82.0. now to figure out the boot loop and find a way to reconnect to the sprint network... (no network connection. whoo.)

**last edit: well, guys, it's been a journey, but i got it figured out! i officially have my phone back up and running. the amount of help i received from the reddit community has been awesome and if i wasn't new to reddit and knew jacksquat about gold, i would hand it out like candy. as is, for all the people who helped me out (stillazure, specifically), thank you so much. your ruu idea worked perfectly once i fully understood what you were saying. i returned my htc back to stock, locked the bootloader back up and i'm done rooting it until i have a better grasp on what i'm doing. i'm getting my hands on a crappy smart phone now to practice on and would appreciate any learning resources.**


i love you guys <3

TIFU by thinking I could play developer.
