Unbrick HTC One Max

Quote:

That day while updating my HTC_one_max went black, complete black, nothing was working, even force restart button stopped working too. I somehow managed to unbrick it. I am going to share with you how.

p.s. I am no way a developer. I followed dexter93 unbricking project and used it for me. Here is how.

Prerequisites
the appropriate package for the device
a supported bricked device
a usb cable
fastboot
distro utils: md5sum, strings, tail, grep, unzip ( all included in most linux distros)
some basic linux experience
root access on a linux machine
patience

DISCLAIMER: We do NOT guarantee that this method will work for you, or that it is flawless. We are also not responsible if your phone is completely dead after the procedure, or your house burns down because your phone exploded. You are doing this in YOUR OWN RISK.


Instructions
Boot the linux box and download the appropriate package for the device.
Remove the sim card from the phone. Do not connect yet
Extract the package in your working directory
Open up a terminal and cd to that directory
Run revive.sh as root and connect the device

Code:

Code:

---

sudo ./revive.sh

The procedure is automated. At the end of the unbrick process, you will need to charge the device fully and then flash one of the full firmwares bundled, as pointed from the script. This is crucial to ensure device stability.

Power on the device after it has been unbricked. You may need to charge it for sometime before you can power it on.
