(SOLVED) Pretty sure I'm bricked... - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hey everyone. My evo was htc unlocked, but i wanted to get it s-off. so i used to the lazypanda method...and everything was working great. when i reached the 30 second part, i patiently waited 30 seconds, but it kept going. it went all the way to about 900 until i ended the program and did it again. it couldnt detect the device, and now i cant get my evo to turn on. help please!
UPDATE: My worries are over! My phone was indeed bricked, so I installed Linux on my Mac to use the unbrick tool. It was easy to do, but kind of a pain as well. Those who are having trouble and need instructions to unbrick...you've come to the right place Instructions will come shortly.
1. If you're absolutely positive that you are bricked...simply install Linux (Ubuntu) on your Mac or PC. A virtual machine will not work! You must use a CD or USB stick.
2. Once you have installed Linux, download

No Power <> Bricked

I don't see the connection between "it won't power up" and being bricked. Are you sure you had/have good power, i.e., plenty of battery left. If you are sure the battery is charged up, hit and hold the power until it comes up, try it. If your not sure about the amount of charge, plug it into your charger and do the same thing, hit and hold the power button, see what happens.

i had about 60% left. but even though it is connected to the usb cable right now, there is no charging light. im assuming that its bricked, therefore it isnt charging

Just for grins, unplug it from the USB (you may have already done this) and try to power it up. I can't see a way that some piece of code would nix(brick) the power, where it would not start up to "something", a loop, error, something.

wont power on guess im bricked

I too am in this boat:/ Any help guys?
Edit: used Lazy Panda's method. Worked perfectly. Typing this from my once bricked EVO.

Plug in phone, check device manager to see if its recognized as qhsusb_dload mode. There a thread in original development covering lazypanda bricks. Need linux, live cd or whatever but it says 100% success so check it out

Well, the method and what not wasn't the same to get me to the issue, although on my last two phones the result of me purchasing another phone was that there was no charge light and it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was bricked, and I still have these two dead devices on my desk. Neither of them power up or show any signs of being alive. I can leave them on the charger for hours and no heat is generated at all. Everyone just blames it on being a lemon I tried literally everything I could think of, so assume I took every possible available measure to revive them =P(Short of taking it to any repair shops or opening the device up for surgery :3)
I am just sharing my experience, and to say that those things only happened on my htc devices and if you google around for devices not booting and no charge light then you'll see others with similar issues. If you get yours back up and running let me know ^^ It'd be interesting to have hope to bring back my shift/3d. Also good luck!

I had this same scenario earlier. After a while I gave up on waiting so I unplugged it and pressed the power button and volume down (don't ask me why I thought that would work lol) for about 15 seconds and it turned on. I reformatted my sdcard and ran the program again and now i'm SOFF

all u guys, just use the unbrick method http://unlimited.io/lazypanda-s-off-public-beta/evo-4g-lte-unbricker/

Marco while this might be a pain to setup (if your not running linux), you can download virtualbox from Oracle (a Sun product Oracle now owns) and then download and install your flavor of linux in a VM. You will put in a little time configuring linux, but it will get you to the test. Virtualbox is free, its similar to VMware Workstation or Microsoft's Virtual PC. I would go with Ubuntu, also free. What bugs me about your issue is you plug in the charger and you get no charging light. If this is indeed the case, even if you did all of this, how would you even be able to connect to the phone to issue the commands to unbrick it. Good luck.

I believe you have to use the sudo command to run it as superuser... I really dont know much about linux but I did have to create a Ubuntu boot CD to unbrick mine after trying to unlock in Windows.
I had assumed that improper HTC drivers were my problem in Windows but after unbricking I tried the use FeedPanda under linux and got bricked again. After 20+ power pushes and bamboo finding I decided having S-off wasn't that important to me lol.
Good luck.

Got it thanks!

Im having the same issues as the users in the thread the only way to unbrick the phone is LINUX?

Mario for everyone else here (1) a brief on how you bricked and (2) how you unbricked would be good to have.

linux is easy. i installed ubuntu on my laptop and dual boot. after some googling figured out how to enable root login. i went that route. then terminal is already su.

i installed ubuntu on my laptop. i then used the unbrick tool. pretty simple

[Q] brick or hope?

i was running RabiesShot.exe i noticed the phone was taking a very long time to respond. when i noticed it was not powered on i proceeded to power on the phone. no response. i plug the phone into the charger i dont see the notification light.
is there any hope on taking this phone in for repair or a way to get the phone to power on again?
i just got it back from repair earlier today.
i got 1/2 way thru the root process so i am worried that they might find out it is rooted if i go to take it in.
so do i have a brick or is there some sort of hope?

[Q] Bricked during SIM activation?

Hello everyone,
I seem to be facing a singular issue, but I imagine it is much my fault, and just wanted a confirmation from those more experienced with the device...
I bought an Incredible 4G from eBay, that already had the a copy of Avatar on it, I believe almost the latest update. So when I confirmed the device worked after charging the battery, I flashed the latest copy of Avatar and the JB Gapps, and everything seemed hunkydory.
So, after that, I put in my old SIM, deactivated as I was using a non-4g device, and put it in the Incredible 4G. I started the activation process on the phone, following prompts to reboot the phone (Note: I did not know about CM10.1's issue regarding activation at the time, so one of the possible problems.)
After seemingly failing to activate after the first reboot, I "tried again" and it went down for another reboot. And it stayed down. Completely. I cannot get the phone to start, after charging the battery separately, cannot get into bootloader, nothing. I get QHSUSB_DLOAD when plugged into a computer using USB, but that's it.
A few notes: first time I started up, the screen went to recovery. I didn't think that was an issue; I factory reset from there, and rebooted into Avatar. Second issue: I used ROM updater on the phone to download and install the recovery, as I imagined that there was an automatic checksum done in the process (perhaps it was imagined?), and so when it went to flash, it had some issue, which didn't seem like a problem with the download, and I went through flashing it normally through recovery. Sorry I can't provide more details on that, but everything seemed to work all right after rebooting.
Finally, and this may be irrelevant, I put a 64GB SDXC card in the phone, I had already realized that it could not natively support exFAT, and so left the card in the device until the next time I could boot to recovery to partition it, and went through the activation process with the card inserted and not recognized.
So, I imagine that I have a hard brick, but can't tell if it's completely my fault, because it bricked in a peculiar fashion, at least from what I can tell, as no one seems to have encountered a similar issue after searching for the last 5 days.
If there's any hope for recovery, I would really appreciate some help regarding the device. I'm willing to provide some more info if necessary, and I'd like to find out sooner rather than later if it's a lost cause.
Thanks for any help you guys can give. XDA devs are awesome.
Quite the predicament. Just to clarify, have you tried the following?
1) Remove that super-big MicroSD
2) Remove SIM
3) Remove battery and wait a few minutes; also press the power button while phone is off
4) Only re-inserting the battery, hold vol-down and then hold power until screen comes on (then release power but keep holding vol-down)
I have tried them all; no SIM or SD card has been in there since the issue started. I hadn't tried pushing the power button while the battery was out, but it doesn't seem to change anything. So far, no reaction whatsoever even when holding power + vol down for a few minutes.

You can't do fastboot if you can't reach the bootloader, and I've been assured the unlimited.io tool will not help for DLOAD resulting from non-racun related procedures.
Reading forum posts about QHSUSB_DLOAD suggest either jtag is necessary (which might not be worth it considering the phone can be purchased for $150 on ebay) or some strange strokes of luck after letting the phone sit for a bit. ChiqOmar, sorry I don't have great advice; do all the reading you can about QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

yes sounds like he is stuck in QSHUSB_DLOAD mode, but i don't know if the resolutiion on unlimited.io will help him or not.they say it's not supported for other reasons other than from running their exploit. it might work though.

i was able to bring my rezound back after a hard brick with a hex edited hboot that went bad with this tool but ported for rezound. its worth a try?
Thanks for the help everyone. Yes, although it states quite clearly that the Unlimited.io tool is only meant for devices bricked using their tool, I tried it anyway; obviously, nothing changed.
Though JTAG sounds interesting, I have no idea how to get started with that...nor do I really know if I want to travel down that route just now.
The HTC Unbricking Project sounds promising, but also no idea how to get started as it has not been ported for our device. The partitions don't get mounted in Ubuntu, as I connected it to the computer to use the Unlimited.io tool.
Finally, regarding the nature of the brick itself, I really wish I could pinpoint the issue better to help others if a similar issue happens in the future.
I am actually waiting on a battery, (ordered before I got the phone) and so will try that to see if anything changes.
Thanks again everyone. I've got a feeling I might have to write this one off pretty soon.

I lost my first Dinc 4G LTE after I installed CM10.1, was working great for a while and just blinked off, never to recover. No charge light, no response to power button. I also had an aftermarket battery (Hyperion), but it would get so hot charging I replaced it with an OEM HTC battery. I think that damaged the phone.
Since I work with analog electronics, I assume something in the power path physically burned out. I never tried to talk to it via USB, but just cabling it to a computer generates no response.
I went back to the Stock RUU.zip from the unlimited.io site to get the firmware update. During the update it just sort of died. Now I can't get it to charge or get into the bootloader. Help! Please!:crying:

Bricked Htc Evo 3d no screen, hboot, or recovery...

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

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?

Dead HTC One qhsusb_dload

Made the mistake of bricking my Att HTC ONE M7. Ive tried everything to revive this damn thing, did loads of research to see if anyone came up with a solution with no luck.
I was restoring my backup phone (Galaxy S2) to convert my mom to an android and get her away from that pile of **** iPhone. I downloaded a philz recovery from the xda app on my ONE for the S2 (which is something I've always had a rule against for this reason).
To make a Long story longer I, for some reason, thought it was for my ONE. Flashed it in recovery (TWRP) "Failed" then I realized what i did. But it failed, I then flashed a bootanimation. "Success"..
Restarted my device but it never came back on. No lights, screen, or response from any combination of buttons.
I guess the recovery flash ,even though it failed, was the nail in the coffin. I just can't believe it died that easy even though it let me flash a bootanimation. Not paying attention just cost me a lot of money and loads of pride.
It shows up qhsusb_dload in device manager. I e-mailed HTC and I'm gonna try a warranty claim. Also talked to someone about Jtag.
If anyone wants to attempt a solution Im game.. I will keep this post up to date with what run around HTC gives if I go that route. If anyone cares...

•With the device truly OFF while still being plugged into the wall outlet, push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button, for 2 minutes.

Their is a fix now .. I did mine today
QHSUSB_DLOAD Fix
This will fix devices which were bricked due to firmware incompatibility. This can be caused with the way HTC handles the firmware updates in it's m7's OTAs. If you've been flashing from a 3.x firmware to a 5.x firmware via OTA, or manually, you most likely have a device stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD. This tool is for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770684
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:
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.

The problem with mine is that after I bricked it I sent it to be jtaged. When I got it back it wouldn't unlock to any network. No matter what it asks me for an unlock code.
Maybe I can run this on my phone and restore the emmc that cross checks the modem.???
What harm could it do

where did u send?
How much was it ?
I sent it to mobile tech videos... I heard good stuff about them but don't send it to them if you want your phone to work again. I don't remember what it cost me but I wish I would have waited for this unbrick method. The jtag process fried my modem or part of my motherboard. Try the unbrick method. People have had a lot of luck with that.

i tried that method but after the command i get a message error that my device isn't found

Root without pc?

This device is EOL I realize but I would like to root it. Problem is I can't get any pc's to even acknowledge it is plugged in. Can I get this thing rooted again without ADB???
My bootloader is unlocked from when I first got the device.
EDIT: So it was the USB port that was bad. Ordered a daughter board from E-Bay and now I have working ADB. I'm going to leave this thread open in case someone does figure out a way to get root without adb...

If you can't get the drivers set up, try Wug's NRT toolkit. He has a walk-through on setting up/removing/reinstalling drivers. You don't need ADB to root, but you do need to boot into a custom recovery to install a root program (I use SuperSu). You can boot a recovery via CMD from fastboot as long as the recovery is in your adb/fastboot data folder.
FWIW, NRT can do all.

I'm really thinking it is my connector. Sometimes it doesn't even charge. I guess I could try to boot one of my pc's into a live Linux distro. I never had issues when I ran Arch. Actually I could try it on my server. It is an Odroid XU4 though but it runs Arch... Thanks.
Cables are most often the cause.

Linux doesn't recognize it either. I assume it is the port/cable. The original cable is long gone but I have many brand new Anker and other brands but none work for connecting... Guess I'm screwed. Really wanted root because I'm having issues with battery drain again and the screen not coming on. I wanted to get a custom kernel running... Oh well.
I use off-brand cable exclusively. Have you tried uninstalling all Android USB connections then allowing an auto re-install? I've had to do that with my N9 at times. A few times, the driver showed up in device hardware but nothing further (connection). I right-clicked and updated driver-just went through the process with no new driver just basically re-install. Once, it was the cable but all others worked.

I tried removing everything. It never even acknowledges it is even plugged in. I also tried on 1 brand new Windows system. Same deal. I did a live boot of Linux and nothing. I tried on my Odroid and nothing. I'm not new to this and have many PC's and other devices but none work.
Only thing I noticed is under developer options it comes up as ptp or mtp but if I try changing it I will always say charging no matter what I pick.... So I never even get a USB permission dialog...
As this isn't new territory, you know some cables don't have pin config for data transfer.
Are you able to get recognition of your device with ADB devices command?--recognized but unauthorized?
[C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
007667324ccb229b unauthorized]

Yup... And I'm doing it again now. This time both in Android then from the bootloader (pwr+dn).
Also apparently when I flash stock back on this a year ago for my son to use I never flashed the recovery image, or not correctly because there is no recovery at all. Just hboot... When I select recovery I get the dead Android..
I altered my previous response. Andy lying on his back is the stock recovery portal. You have to hold power button then push/release vol+. It can be tricky, but pretty sure that's the sequence. I'll flash stock recovery to double check if needed.

Doh! I'm so spoiled with rooted devices and twrp I forget you have to jump through hoops to get into some recoveries... So, I did the Android reset, Hboot reset and stock recovery hard reset. And no changes. Still only charges. Oh, well. Thanks again.
Quick update... Ordered a usb daughter board from e-bay. Last $10 I'll spend on this device...

My USB started acting up on mine too. Watching a movie with a USB otg and it just stopped. I then discovered the only way for it to work was to jiggle it then hold it in a certain angle. I'm guessing something is loose. I haven't opened her up yet. I'd like to grab a new USB port for mine. Is it soldered to the daughterboard? Seems like changing the daughterboard will be easier.

A few screws... I had to fix my camera because I pulled the back off wrong trying to disconnect the battery a while ago. Just gotta be careful. When the part comes in I'll update.

I looked it up and saw it. I noticed the rear camera was attached. Thanks for the info. I changed the screen on my n7 2013, but never thought to change the port on this one. D'oh.
@madbat99 @ritchea
Got the daughter board from China. About 25 minutes to install (I'm getting real good at taking this device apart now...lol). Powered up and connected to my Windows machine. And... It is recognized now! Can't believe I fought so long thinking it was a driver/windows issue.
After taking it out I can see why it would wear out/break. Cheap plastic and it has such a large opening on the outside my son probably tried all the time to plug it in wrong...
@ritchea thanks for your help!
@andyroidking,
I did nothing but super glad you were able to fix it!...and share it with the community.

I ordered one from the link you provided. Coming from China so I hope it doesn't take too long. Can't wait. The port is waaaay to big, too much room to jiggle around. Hope this fixed my problem too.
