Virgin Mobile Desire 510 stuck on HTC screen

My Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 is stuck on HTC screen. I just got the phone in April and need it to last me 2 more months. It is not rooted. I removed the SD card and have tried everything including a factory reset to no avail. What are my options? I really need to get this working again ASAP. Someone somewhere mentioned something about "flashing" it, but I don't know what this means or how to do it, or if that will even help me with this issue.

Please help!

Edit: I should mention that my computer runs OSX 10.9.5 (in case I need to download some programs.)

[HELP] Tutorial for Rooting a virgin Xperia Z C6603 5.1.1?

hey guys

im very noob for mobile programming, so can u guys just give me a blunt yet gentle response, how to root an untouched Xperia Z C6603 5.1.1? (in very detail, pretty please?)

i just upgraded to 10.7.a.0.222 yesterday, my mind had been juggling off since i bought this phone 2 years ago, whether to root or not this....

with all the kinds of unfamiliar term used for rooting process (ROM, bootloader, flash, etc), i've come to realization, ROOTING is not for beginners, especially if they first time want to root their devices...

so could u all masters help to enlighten my poor, poor knowledge in rooting process?

pretty please?:fingers-crossed:

Thoughts from an unlock virgin

A few weeks ago, I unlocked my HTC one. In the process of following an old step-by-step tutorial, I soft bricked the thing but in the following 10 hours (with very little sleep) I learned A LOT about custom recovery and available roms. I still don't know a lot about S-OFF, achieving that state and what benefits it brings me.
Quick disclaimer.. someone's signature round here highlights that this forum is not called xda-overly-entitled-users. Hopefully I don't come off sounding like that.

In order to get back up and running, I flashed a ROM very similar to my stock. It worked well but I felt that I wasn't being ambitious so I flashed to another fairly well known rom.

Now that I've got that to roughly where i like it, I realised that all I'd done was flash a new ROM and then customise it with millions of apps to look and act like my stock rom which was as near as perfect across the smart phone industry.. Further, aside from xposed and root cloak, I've not really done anything that actually required a root - i could have installed most of this stuff on my stock rom.

So.. what am I missing. As a more enlightened user, what is it that I should be messing about with that made the effort worth it. I feel like I'm not taking advantage of the situation.
