I have a big problem !!! I had on my phone root s-off ROM Shooter Beats 1,7 and I flashed CWM 4.0.1.-shooteru via fastboot.
BUT when I was in fastboot USB I was thinking that I will try to have root with s-on on the screen on HBOOT. So I used command that I read in unroot section.
fastboot oem fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and then reboot bootloader and my pfone is off and I cannot turn it on and dont know what to do :-( I am scared
you need to s-off your device again.using cmd
yes, I know, but I cannot turn on the phone.. I cannot do anything
Bricked

There is nothing else to do?? :-(
What about warranty? If I cannot get to my phone, HTC cannot know if it doesnt work because of root, right? Do I have a chance?
What about a simple RUU? Just to try, and may it gives you s-on back and hboot and Kernel, so you maybe can boot into fastboot loader

I cannot turn my phone on, I cannot go to bootloader, I cannot do anything. But when there is battery there is little red light on and when I remove battery it goes off. It is not blinking it is just permanent weak red colour (it is hardly to see).
When I connect Evo 3D to laptop, there is a sound that something is through USB connected, but the drivers are not regognized (in system there is only something QHUSB_DLOAD)
I was trying cmd and fastboot reboot and it is waiting for device
I was trying adb restart and nothing..
when I try RUU, it cannot find my device

Did you have recovery? If you do, the problem you ran into might be an easy one.
1. Plug your phone to a power source (Long press the power button for few seconds and see if the light is on)
2. If the light is on, press the camera button (may be few times if first time doesn't work) and wait.
3. The first two steps should have already taken you into the boot screen. If it doesn't, then sorry.

Try to push camera, volume up+down and power Buttonand hold it down for a few seconds and see if the phone boots. Then plug in charger and charge it. So you can see if the battery was dead!
Thank you guys for advices but
1, I tried use RUU and as I said it doesnt find my device (there are not drivers anymore)
2, volume plus camera button and so on.. this problem I solved many times.. it was problem with CWM 5.0.2. but I have there 4.0.1. which has no battery bug.
My phone doesnt work and cannot go on.
I googled little bit and find out that people with Desire HD had the same issue and they sent it to service and got new phone. I hope it will be the same I love my phone so muuuuuuch..
I think the problem is that I would need to get drivers for my mobile to get sdk ready.. but :/

bricked...there are a few reports here that did the same procedure and bricked it too.
I really cant understand why people play with those things although they have no idea of what they are risking.
..i mean, you could have been very proud that you got a device which csn achieve s-off. Thousands still dteaming of it.
Why the hell you wanted to went back to son and root?
If you would read through the forums you should have nitice, that you cant flash custom kernels easily - just with flash img gui. And flashing radios is

I know, I read through forum and find out that problem with QHUSB_DLOAD is always dead end. You cannot understand why people do that? I read a lot of topic where people have written that I tried to unroot their phone because of warranty and in finally step - whitesecure flag 3 - it bricked. They do it exactly how it was in "manual", so they have just bad luck.
I want to have s-on because my cable conector was wrong and I was afraid when I won´t connect my phone to computer, I cannot remove root and my quarantee will finished.. But I didnt flash stock Rom because I want to give it on sd card and when my usb cable won´t work, I could just reflash to stock ROM from my backup..
Right now my phone is in service..

Hi.
I recently got a refurbished Evo 3D after my old one's digitizer broke. About 2 days afterwards, I was being stupid and accidentally dropped my phone. The back popped off and the battery came out. Now it shows a dim red light whenever it should be charging (via usb cable into my computer) and refuses to even turn on. However, whenever I plug it in, it makes the sound that windows recognizes that a USB device is plugged in. Is this a sign of hope that I can fix my phone? Please give me any suggestions.
Things I have tried:
-Holding power down (with the volume buttons and camera button etc.)
-Trying to use the command: adb reboot bootloader
-Taking out batter and using a different one from another phone.
-Charging the original battery to full using the spare Evo 3D and then attempting the above.
Before I dropped it I did root the phone and stupidly attempted to install the wrong ROM (used CDMA instead of the other one, can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's the one used in Rogers phones), but it didn't brick the phone or anything.
One more thing to note is that right after I dropped it and tried to boot it up it made it to the white HTC screen, then turned off.
Hopefully this is enough information, and thanks in advance for any help.
Check out the thread in the dev section about downgrading hboot 1.5 at some point in it, you purposefully brick it to a faint red light. Try to follow instructions from there.

Any other suggestions? I don't have a linux machine, and currently my ISP is not exactly cooperating with my internet connection, so it's extremely slow atm, and as a result will probably take too long to download.

Not to just repeat what others have said, but the dim red light truly sounds like what happens when the phone is bricked. If it is, you may be able to save it by following that thread when your ISP cooperates. It is strange though that dropping it would cause it to brick.
If he is on Rogers, he has a GSM phone & can't use the Hboot 1.50 cdma downgrade thread. There are 2 stickied downgrade threads in the Gsm section.

out of warranty ? =.=
just 2 days after returning
Here's what I would try
Here's what I would try:
1. Take battery out of phone and make sure, 100% sure, the phone is off.
2. Once the phone is 100% powered down pop the battery back in.
3. Now what I would do is hold down power + volume up until the phone comes to HBOOT.
4. If HBOOT doesn't come up, idk. If you have a working nandroid, I would restore from it. If you don't, just select fast boot, then select the option to start up normally (which I forget what it is called...).

okay! so I have a S-on amaze 4g. Unlocked bootloader and have clock work recovery, Im also on tmobile. I was running Bulletproof's rom v2.5
so yesterday I was looking at some roms and I came accross mike 1986's android revolution ROM that was based on tmobile's sense 3.6 and android 4.0. I decided to ditch my current ROM and go for mike's ROM instead
Well last night I followed his instructions. Put the PH85IMG, Rom and Super wipe to my phone's SD card. I booted into bootloader and it loaded the PH85IMG but it didnt seem to have done anything so it loaded back to bootloader. I selected "Recovery" and booted into recovery. I deleted my files and cache using clockwork recovery. Then applied the Superwipe zip then installed the ROM. It said it installed the rom and then I proceeded to reboot my amaze 4g. Ok I rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the HTC screen for some quit time WITHOUT THE QUIETLY BRILLIANT. So i decided to redo this all over again. and again the same problem happened. stuck on the HTC logo. so I took out my batterys and went to bed since i wanted to get some shut eye
now this is where my problem comes from. When ever I turn on my phone it wont turn on! i wanted to boot into bootlader but when ever i press on the power button with the volume rocker down it wont start up. So i plug in my USB cable and the LED that indicates charging comes on. and my computer detects the phone... i click on the search capacitive button and the phone disconnects from my computer and it boots into the HTC screen and the screen turns blank
if anyone can help me please help.

I tried the same rom yesterday and it failed for me also. I've seen quite a few fails on it. Mine didn't die like yours, mine just froze on the splash screen. I had to pull the battery and hboot and re install my recovery so I could restore my backup. Does anything happen if you pull the battery and try to get into bootloader?

i cant even get my phone to get into hboot when i press down on the power and volume buttons.
it did work yesterday after i failed... but when i woke up today i cant even get into hboot for some reason.
You might have to get an external charger to charge your battery, or if you know anyone to swap batteries with to charge yours and try theirs to see if it's just a dead battery. Sounds like it might be.
Download the latest RUU for your phone. You said the computer detects the device see if the RUU will see it as well. Hoping that it does just run it and it will flash your phone back to stock stock and you may have to unlock and install clockwork again but if it works you'll have a working phone again good luck chief

I believe the Rom u were trying to flash is for s-off only....I might be wrong though...

If i recall, you were supposed to lock the bootloader before you placed the PH85.img, because it wouldn't recognize the file without it on an S-On device. Also, where you using Xboarder's Clockwork recovery touch? or an older version?
Try this and tell me what happens. Change your phone by your computer USB and turn it on by search button and "HOLD THE DOWN VOL BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME" try it a couple of times.

I think it's a problem with the version of cwm installed, it won't charge the battery right if it dies all the way pull the battery then charge it for about 20 mins then battery pull again and charge for a minute or two and try and turn it on

You don't have to be a farmer to know what sh*t smells like.
I just bought an HTC 3D evo off craigslist, the seller said that he loaded the wrong ROM into it, he had android 4.0, tried to upgrade to 4.1.
I don't know if it is rooted or not, doesn't turn on at all (nothing happens, light, vibration, etc), i tried removing-the-battery trick, didn't work. I just want to load a new ROM into it so i can get it working again..
How do i do that?
Thanks.
Does the small led come on when plugged into a charger? Have you tried to hold down the volume down button and power button down at the same time to access the bootloader, also please specify if your phone is gsm or cdma.
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!

the small led light does not turn on when pressing the power button (no signs of life at all!), i tried to reset (power button+volume down) it but nothing happens and it is a GSM phone.
Looks like your friend hoodwinked you bro. It sounds like he gave you a bricked phone. Unfortunately if your not able to access bootloader then its a paper weight now.

As I have said, you need to be able to boot into bootloader mode to flash firmware. Whoever sold you that phone didn't tell you he hard bricked the phone in the process. The hboot had to have gottened corrupted. That's why you can't turn it on.

Here's a tutorial that you might find useful in helping you set up adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751439.
Now do not take this the wrong way, you should listen to what I'm telling about your phone instead of ignoring me and trying to prove me wrong. Especially since I'm educating you on adb. I gave you that link so I dont have to explain how to set adb up. You have to be able to access bootloader, recovery or have phone completely on to run adb. In the end you will realize what I have told you. The person who sold it to you screwed you over. Your phone is completely bricked. Truly bricked. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm always open to learn new things.
I would definitely concur with Jsparta26, you unfortunately bought your phone from a unscrupulous, deceitful azz wipe.

I read your problem and read through the other suggestions, It does sound bricked but have you tried a different battery?, I had a battery one time that once it went completly dead the phone would not charge it, I had to charge it though an external charger, once it had some juice in it it would charge fine with the phone. All i am saying is make sure it is not something as simple as a bad battery before you decide to use it as a paperweight. If you do get it to turn on, let me know and I can help you get it working again.

Its like I said. Your hboot was corrupted. That's great you got your phone booted back up.
Now as for viper 3d there's no "best" ROM. Its a subjective topic so its basically not allowed. I can tell you its very stable, has lots of tweaks, and highly customizable. Only thing is that is doesn't have 4g or 3d. And it works on any hboot.

brick fixable
I had the same thing going on w/my phone. Problem was: the hboot was corrupted.. The only way to fix this is with linux.. I don't recall the exact files or command that I ran but if you search you will find them and it will bring your phone back to life.. NOTE: every thread i found had old information with older hboots which have different filenames.. Once you find the information on how to fix your hboot aka "brick" you simply need to get your exact hboot file and replace (flash) it through linux.. there is even an ubuntu cd you can download and boot into so that you don't have to install Linux.. I'd give you more info, but I'm at work right now and don't have time to research it. Good luck..!!

today i have a problem with my evo. i loss my phone in my car, and at night was frost, - 20 C.
half of day phone dosnt power on. my first opinion was that the battery died, but when i measured voltage, i see 3.75V, thats normal for X-Polimer Battery. after i Inserting the battery at her place, and press power button, phone turn on
i dont know, may be i had to remove the battery for a long time, or during this time dry condensate, after frost.
Hello friends and thanks for reading. Glad to finally be a part of one of the most highly respectable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable development sites on the Internet. Not an ass kisser, just feel that if you've used a website to fix or mod ALOT of different things that you didn't know how to fully do on your own, and you also learned how and why, you should express some appreciation. I've searched and searched but I'm pretty sure this is one of the more rare bricks. Not one of those did u hold volume down and OMG theres the hboot menu threads lol. So here goes...
Modification Procedure:
JuopunutBear S-Off
Hboot 1.50.5050
Radio 1.09.00.0706
Recovery TWRP v2.2.0
Angry Bean Rom CM 10.1 build 06.07.13
Joe Blow Hacks
Computer rig:
Ubuntu 12.04 x32 & Windows 8 x32 dual boot
Asus A8AE-LE
Amd Athlon 64 3500+
2gb Pc3200
Tools / Testing Equipment:
- 2 identical model Evo's
Model: PG86100
- 2 identical batteries (all working)
- Both phones have had the same exact procedure done
- The other Evo that went through the procedure is still working fine and I use it as my main phone
What it Does / Doesn't do:
- Cant get to hboot
- Cant get to recovery
- With battery in and usb charger plugged in, and not hitting any buttons including power, there is a solid red light that would indicate normal charging. I don't believe it is because the other Evo, after letting the bad one supposedly charge the battery, says the battery is low
- With the usb charger unplugged and a known charged battery placed in the phone and me hitting power once, it vibrates once and the home, menu, back and search light up. Screen shows absolutely nothing. holding volume up down and power in this state makes the phone vibrate once and all the lights go out. Then after a second adb sees it again as device offline
- When I boot using either Windows or Ubuntu, the command “adb devices” shows the serial and offline
- When I boot the working Evo using either Windows or Ubuntu, the command “adb devices” shows the serial and device (as it should)
- Adb and fastboot run fine with the working Evo
- Adb is about useless on the dead Evo. Every command = error device offline
Things I tried that failed:
- Volume up + power it vibrates once and the home, menu, back and search light up
- Volume down + power the phone doesn't boot (can't access hboot)
- Charger in the phone first with no battery. Then I held volume up and down and inserted the battery. Phone just goes back to the solid red light and gets hot. Screen shows absolutely nothing
(yes I took my time do to the fact that most problems occur do to a lack of patience and user error :silly:
- Ruu (no fastboot)
- ./brickdetect.sh Device can't be detected. Check connections
I usually got this type of thing in the bag but this time I'm just not getting anywhere. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Is there something not right here in this Evo setup that I'm not seeing or in your opinion do u think that the working Evo is in “harms way”? I keep wondering...Thanks

No thats the thing. I did both Evo procedures at the same time. Same files and everything. S-off went great for both phones. The phone was being used as a dlna client.

Hi everyone.
So, what do you guys think happened here? Did the motherboard just happen to die, or was its demise hastened by modifying the phone?
Good to read that you solved your problem, though. So, where did you get a replacement board, just off one of the usual sell yours buy someone else's type sites?
i cant really find much about this but i did read somewhere that one possible way to easily unbrick a hard brick phone (one that doesnt even turn on) is to open the phone up and remove a small battery that looks liike a wristwatch battery, and put it back in again. this will reset the bios and hopefully alloow you to turn on the phone again.
i own a bricked HTC amaze 4g and i tried doing this although it seems like that battery is soldered on. does anyone have any tips to easily detach this battery?
thanks,
Btw - that battery has in most of the cases just a single purpose - keeping RTC (Real Time Clock) running even when "the big" battery is discharged or removed so phone doesn't lose the track of time and date. Bricking a phone does usually involve damaging/erasing data from the persistent storage (flash memory), and no battery is used there.
What you're referring to is not so common with todays phones - smart or "dumb". Its mosly a computer phenomenon. The fact that the phone wont power on doesn't necessarily mean its hardbricked. As rbeavers suggested, its usually a case of corrupted or damaged data in system memory - probably the bootloader. You could try flashing a new bootloader.
Can you tell me how can I flash bootloader when phone is not booting up ??

Pull our battery.
Put battery back in.
Then out the back on.
Then hold volume down for a few seconds and keep it pressed.
Hold power button a few seconds after you've been holding volume down.
Tada you're in the bootloader.

You can flash anything you want even though the phone theoretically may not boot.
And you probably won't even be in that situation since you already did all the mods for the international amaze. So don't worry about it. It is very hard to completely brick a HTC phone.
I never heard of bootloaders being corrupted. Its hard to imagine that. If that happened I guess you can just use a RUU.
