I tried to put s-off on my htc evo 4g lte, and it was putting it on my phone using command prompt. This sucks because my phone is messed up. it wont turn on. someone please help me! I can't use my phone. does someone have a solution to my problem.:crying:
little more info please. what version windows , linux. what happened exactly.
more info
i was installing s-off. i have a windows 7. i installed 32-bit. i cant turn on my phone no screen comes on my phone when i hold the power button. there are no lights flashing on the buttons at the bottom of my phone. when i plug my phone up to the computer it makes this sound to show that it's connected, but i cant try re-installing s-off because it wont find my device.
You might try going into your recovery and re-flashing from a back-up or to a new rom. That might do the trick, that is if you can make it that far, otherwise your going to have to figure out how to do it through command prompt.
If you are at a black screen but hear a sound when you plug it into your computer it sounds like you are stuck in download mode.
Here is the thread with the fix once they release it. You can check device manager to see if you are stuck in that mode. I think it will list your device as QHSUSB_DLOAD or something.

I had this happen to me when I ran it.
When the process gets to rebooting device. The phone goes blank. And it starts counting, saying it should take approx. 30 seconds.
After mine got to 200 seconds. i said WTF. And even though it said DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FREAKING DEVICE. I went ahead and held the power button until the computer made the beep noise as if a usb device was unplugged.
Held the button again until it cranked on. Came up, the computer recognized it again, and it continued on and I'm working with s-off no problems.

So I just got done configuring chompSMS. Disabled notifications on the built in SMS app. Did a battery pull and got this screen and haven't been able to get out of it. Held down home & power and got a user memory wipe screen. Figure I'd give that a shot. Still stuck on the FASTBOOT screen and now have to redo the whole thing if I manage to get out of this screen.
Anyone else see this? Not much out there about Sprint's Hero, but there's a bit about Orange's Hero, rooting, flashing rom's and all that fun stuff. Nothing about getting it back to normal though.
and to add....after letting it sit connected to usb for a bit, the screen finally went dark but now won't turn back on. Really odd.
hmm im kinda new to android, but if your stuck in fastboot cant you use the devkit to push a new recovery image like RA 1.2.3 and flash ?
i might be wrong tough
I'm brand spanking new to Android. Haven't dealt with sdk's andn loading rom's in ages and don't have the time to figure it out. Thought there might be some hard reset button combo that I was missing or something. Just heading to the Sprint store now with box in hand to have them switch it out or activate my Treo Pro again. Kinda need the phone for work and don't have a home phone so downtime is not a good thing.

he won't be able to push that to do ADB tricks, nor do fastboot flashing with img files
Goldcard doesn't help as well
I hv got a G1 in same situation after pulling out the battery.
Stucked at first splash screen on next boot.
I assume that is a rom / system problem so I tried to boot into recovery but still freeze on 1st splash screen.
I tried to figure out the problem and I'd try to connect by usb and tried adb logcat but only waiting device return. And yep the screen goes black ( but still on ) likely in this situation.
And yea SPL enter was successful but can't connect to fastboot so no recovery can flash.
I notify the phone (seemingly) won't be able to charge as the notification do not turn on, or it does charge but problem with notification light (?), probably it is more likely a hardware problem due to removing the battery. Recently I take the G1 to a shop to figure out is that a hardware failure.
I'm all for troubleshooting and playing around with ROMs, but there's times when I just need to be up and running and have opted not to screw around with something I depend on for work. There's other toys to "play" with.
So after a way too long stay at the Sprint store I have a new Hero that's up and running just fine.
Wanted to say it was something I installed, but everything seemed to be approved by the masses as working well. Maybe it was something with the battery pull. I'm surprised no one has made a soft reset widget. Seems kinda basic coming from 13yrs of PalmOS and a bit of winMob.

download sprint RUU and run it, it will wipe your phone, but it will work agian
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe
thanks for that. Will keep that handy for next time or if I ever play around with it. I think I'm going to the Moment though when it hits next month. Better screen, processor and keyboard will be doing it for me.
fixing any android stuck in fastboot
If your stuck in fast boot this is what you do.
1. Remove the micro sd card and somehow connect it to your computer.
2. Download a rom that is made for your phone and put it in a easily accessible folder on the micro sd.
3. Reinsert the sd card in the phone and reboot, once in fast boot go to hboot.
4. After going into hboot select recovery.
5. After this is done you must go to "install zip from sd card" and choose the rom that you have downloaded, select install and wait until the installation is complete, if unsuccessful redownload and try the whole process again, if unsuccessful the second time try downloading another rom.
If you have any questions please personal message me so i can help you.

Btw i had a HTC hero and had this problem many times and this had worked every time.
I have a similar situation
when i power on the phone it goes straight to fastboot mode.
I Checked volume keys and are not stuck.
If I connect phone via usb and run:
fastboot reboot
the phone will load normally the android OS and will work just fine until you power it off again.
\
I dismantled the phone just to be sure there is no hardware issues, I tried to power on the phone without the home button connected to the board and the phone will load the android OS without any issue.
I dismantled the button itself, it has some sort of touch IC inside and a normal key button downside.
I could not notice any dust or water tracks in the button, so
at this point and dont know where to go...
I dont have another button just to be sure if it is the button itself or a board issue.

People still use the Hero? There are so many better phones you can buy for dirt cheap. Heck, I got the Evo LTE for $80 on Craigslist. Even the Evo Shift, Design and 3D can be had cheap. I'd dump the Hero without blinking.
I just tried to update my phone to JI6.. I was rooted, with no lag fixes or GPS fixes ever applied. Update didn't work, just left me at the "Vibrant" screen for 30+ minutes. I tried to fix with Odin and JI6 file, but I unplugged the phone while in download mode before Odin started. Now I'm stuck at the "phone ! computer" icon. I've tried holding both volume keys and power while the phone is plugged in to the computer and then inserting the battery, but this doesn't work. I've also tried holding them all down after it goes to that screen, and it reboots, but always comes back to the same screen.
Did I brick my Vibrant completely?
This has been posted 2 billion and a half times already. You can still get into download mode. Just do what you would normally do to get into download mode but hold the buttons for a little longer until download mode comes up. Seriously, please use the search button people.
Your problem is you shouldnt be touching power to get into download mode.
First open odin.
Remove battery, put battery back in
Hold voth volume keys, do not touch power. Then plug in usb. Continue holding volume keys for a few seconds.
Or the way you were doing it. Remove battery, plug in usb, hold only the volume keys, then put the battery back in.

i've tried this a million times, is there any other way to get passed the phone ! computer screen? i've tried every single combination of button holds, battery removes and usb plugging and nothing other that that screen will come up.
You are not bricked. Follow these steps EXACTLY:
1. remove battery, sim and sd
2. Open Odin
3. Connect usb to phone
4. Hold down both volume keys and power
5. but battery back in
6. once the screen blinks, let go of the power button
7. keep holding both volume keys until the downloading screen starts
8. Flash back to stock. I always go back to stock after something like this just to make sure that nothing got corrupted. Also check the re-partition option.
9. Point and laugh at your phone with an evil henchman kind of laugh. The bastard didn't defeat you yet!!!

please keep us updated as to what happens. I had the same problem with my first Vibrant but I had borked it with Voodoo. Even though I COULD get into download mode, ODIN would never work to fix it, even with repartition checked. It would just say "DO NOT UNPLUG TARGET!" and stayed there for hours. For this reason I am VERY leary of using ODIN again. Luckily, my local T-mo was nice enough to replace the phone for me, no questions asked.
I really want to find a ROM or something I can flash with clockwork to get me back on the JFD baseband because I have a stock kernel and a nandroid that is stock with root, then I can just use the 1-click unroot and do the OTA and not have to use ODIN. At least that's my theory
Just keep trying it
I had this problem yesterday I unplugged early while doing a odin flash and because Odin had stopped responding then when I pulled the battery and tried to start the phone I kept getting the phone ! Computer notification on my phone what I did was pulled the battery and connect the phone to the usb cable and hold the up and down volume keys at the same exact time I was plugging it in. the phone looked like it was going to showed a loading screen like the battery icon was about to pop up but it then went black and the download screen popped up... Ta Da... Don't give up so easy I didn't get it on my first time either took me about 45 minutes before I got it to work download mode is tricky even without a soft brick my friend so just keep swimming
Please Help me
I have the same problem, and hardware locked. i bougth from other guy in craiglist, T-mobile say cant do nothing for me, because the IMEI number is of the other account not me. and the guy dont respond my calls. the phone is 10/10 new. just try update with odin and this has bricked.
somebody can help me with ideas
Try this, it is slightly different from what the guy earlier said..
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have Odin OPEN with admin privileges!
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
Continue holding the volume keys & you should pop into DOWNLOAD mode within a few seconds
It worked for me when I did this.

Personally i don't believe the hardware locked issue, i got mine in late August, has the same manufacturing date as many others who claim to be locked, and I have never had an issue getting into recovery or dl mode. There is a ton of information out there on this, seek and ye shall find, just be ready to do a ton of reading, take your time and don't get frustrated. Its OK to walk away and take a break, do something else for a bit and recharge your mental.

I was getting the phone vs computer screen last night. I had flashed the J16 official tar using Odin. Everything went perfect. Phone restarted at 1st try with no issues. I then re-rooted phone again with no problems. Then I went to load the segmented battery icon. When the phone booted up, I got FC messages and it wouldn't actually get to the home screen. I decided to reflash J16 and Odin failed. The screen went from the download screen to a black screen. I had to pull the battery and try again. When I tried to put it in download mode again, I got the phone~pc screen. I just did a battery pull again and when I tried again, I got the phone~pc screen again but I just kept holding the volume and power buttons and it eventually went into download mode again. That time I was successful in loading J16. I re-rooted and left it at that.

Hi
i was used the command for S-ON after S-off "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and "fastboot reboot-bootloader".
My Phone turn off and that was it...
Only the red Led lighting very weak...
and no response on press Power&Volume buttons..
The battery has still 50%...
Has anyone an Idea?
PS: When i plugged the Phone on the Computer, i see an unknown Device called "QHSUSB_DLOAD"...

i'm taking a guess in the dark, but when you hold vol up + pwr, that'll boot the device into qpst mode/diag mode and perhaps windows will show that is "QHSUSB_DLOAD" .. or the other thought is maybe dload is for Download mode?
Either way, perhaps a battery pull should reset the device then pressing only power should allow it to power on properly.
Hope that helps! Let us know!
It's help not really.
But i think your supposition that the Device was in a Download Mode, can be right.
I have take out the battery for one hour, put it in and without that i do anything, the red light was lighting weakly.
A press of the Buttons are without any reaction...
The only what it does, was on USB.
If i Plug it in, the PC recognize an Device "qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". 8-10 seconds later, it will be disconnected itselfs and connected with the "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
I don't understand, what the programm "fastload" does. I've rootet the Evo without any failure, but the command "reboot-bootloader" with the pre-command " writesecureflag 3" seems to be killed my HTC...
Is there a driver for the Dload? Or any driver, that allows Fastboot or revolutionary to connect my htc, when it's in this mode? xDD
I was serching a little bit for this device and found another Thread.. it sounds like my problem...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041153
The driver works - but how can i switch the phone back in the normal mode?
They talking from JTAG and i have no Idea, how to use this...
Or should i send it back and hope, that they don't recognize ,that it was rootet before i make more damage on the HTC?

as a last ditch effort, the only solution i can suggest would be trying different combination of hardware buttons when booting or while the device is on or while pulling the battery.
after reading the thread you linked above, they confirmed what i suspected, nobody really knows a way to recovery out of this situation.
for whatever reason, the phone is booting into a deeper, very uncommon, level of diagnostics and its something very few ppl around here are familiar with.
i've never seen this mode and actually hope i never do!
might get lucky and somebody with inside or special knowledge will know how to navigate. otherwise, as far as this community goes, there isn't much i've seen posted around here to assist.
So I was updating (well, downgrading firmware from 2.17 to 2.08 really) the firmware on my phone. It went through its thing and said it updated ok and to press power to reboot. I did and the screen went out, didnt come back on. Waited a minute and nothing, usually this works after a second or two so this is very odd. So I removed the battery and put it back and still nothing. I know is is VERY bad idea to remove battery during firmware update, but the update was done and the phone said it was all finished and needed to reboot by this point. Anyway, nothing will get the phone to turn on or show any sign of life. Plugging USB ion does nothing, plugging in to power does nothing. Removing SD card and trying to boot doesnt work, different battery doesnt work. Trying to hold all buttons while booting does nothing, trying to boot to bootloader does nothing, and booting like normal does nothing. Whether I press the power button or hold it for 3 minutes straight. Nothing. Is my phone hard-bricked now and I have to send it to HTC for reprogramming?

Unfortunately sounds like it's all done man. You've confirmed battery is good by trying other ones, so it's got juice. Based on what you've said, it's toast. As far as I know, there is no way to recover an Evo3D when it's the state yours is in. TrevE was working on some download mode stuff, I think trying to jtag it, but never got to a useful point with it. Sorry for your luck.
Edit: And the only thing I can really think of to explain why it happened, is that perhaps your download was corrupted. Flashing a corrupted radio = brick. Did you check the md5sum? Because as long as you're positive that the firmware update was 100% complete before you pulled the battery, it shouldn't have bricked.
Took it in to a repair store, they completely took the phone apart and probed it with all their special tools and all that. Apparently the motherboard is fried. Dont know how that happens with something like this but whatever. Seems almost like dumb luck that it happened at the same time, but most likely it is somehow related.
Looks like I am leaving the EVO 3D family. I will miss all the fun stuff that goes on here and the AnthraX kernels. But I sold my brand new EVO3 D I got as a replacement for enough money to cover the whole ETF from Sprint and the cost of a Galaxy Nexus. So thats where I am moving.

While flashing my LS990 back to stock (was rooted/TWRP) my dog hit my laptop and the USB cable unplugged and the battery popped out right in the middle of the process. Now when I try to enter download mode it simply reboots to the LG logo and when trying to enter recovery I get the same (says Entering Recovery then just reboots). Am I screwed/bricked? Is there any way to recover from this or am I buying a new phone? UGH UGH UGH.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I work in technology so being without a phone, even for a few hours won't fly so I may be driving to Sprint here in a few minutes...
-Ross
When you have it plugged in is it not recognizing or what is it doing? The reason I am asking is because, depending on how your dog pulled out/ stepped on the wire may tell you if the adapter in the phone is broken. When your in flashtool and it is searching try moving the wire in phone up and down till you find a "Sweet spot" then just hold it like that till it is done. Also change the usb on the computer you are using like try a different usb port. Not on the software on the sides
If you need any more help like really fast just PM me or else I wont check this till like tomorrow
First thanks for taking the time to help. It's never recognized by my Windows 8 box as it never gets into recovery or download mode. When I try download mode it simple reboots back to the LG screen and with recovery it says its entering recovery then reboots. So the PC never ever sees it in device manager at all as it won't boot that far. Honestly I think it's toast and I'm just gonna have to replace it. Ugh.
-Ross
Since your phone is in that little area you maybe able to run the command: adb reboot bootloader
defiantly try the wire jiggle thing that maybe the reason I had a similar problem with a nexus 4 my dog stepped on the wire while it was charging and the bottom adapter messed up and I had to hold a wire for like a half hour to get it to flashback then I just had to return it to t-mobile.
All change usb port use another one that you know works.
It's not a physical connection issue now - that works fine. it's that since it got cut off mid flash I think the boot loader is only half written or something. So it never shows in ADB since it just reboots over and over and over. Nothing can get it to stop/settle down.
I assume I'll be taking it to Sprint tomorrow to see if they'll be nice to me...
