I think Im bricked - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I went to OTA update MeanRom from 3.1 to 3.2 and after the rom install and reboot my phone kept rebooting, I waited for about 45 minutes just make sure it wasnt going to take.
I then used fastboot to install my last recovery however, the recovery install froze at installing /system for over an hour. I had no choice but to try and reboot as none of the buttons worked. I am now stuck at the HTC screen and can not get into fastboot or phone.
I've tried searching for a solution for a day and still have had no luck. Cant run RUU as it has a USB error which I expected as the phone never boots.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am/was on latest radio/firmware/s-off.
Thanks for looking!

Have you tried getting into recovery from the boot loader and flashing a rom

I'm confused...You were flashing a recovery from fastboot? Or were you doing a nandroid restore? You tried holding volume down + power to get into the bootloader right?

I can not get past the first HTC screen. Holding power and volume down wont work as it wont get past the first screen. I was using a Nandriod.

Did you do the restore from recovery (TWRP) or did you use fastboot? I ask because fastboot isn't typically used to restore from a nandroid backup, so just trying to understand your description. Do you have adb on your pc?

Gotcha...then this is very strange. Once you have adb installed, try plugging the phone into your pc, power it on and when it's at the HTC screen try the "adb reboot recovery" command and see if that gets you into TWRP. I've never tried using adb from that screen so not sure if the phone is capable of communicating at that point, but worth a shot...

That's what I was afraid of...the only other thing I can think of is to maybe try flashing a new boot image, but you may have the same problem you had with adb in not being able to communicate with the phone. What you would need to do is pull the boot.img file out of the MeanROM zip, put it somewhere on your PC, then with your phone plugged in open the command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path_to_boot_img>boot.img
It's basically the same process as installing a new kernel on the new hboot version, which is outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867
Typically you have to be in the bootloader for this, but it's worth a try from the HTC screen. I've been successful with the fastboot command when adb does not see the device, so may work in this case as well. If not, then I'm out of ideas. Since you can't get to the bootloader, you should be able to take it into sprint or best buy without them knowing you tampered with it. Just tell them you took the latest OTA and the battery died during the installation or something. Hopefully they will exchange it, but you run the risk of getting one with the new hboot and losing S-OFF Better than no phone at all though, I suppose...

Not too sure if u have a recovery installed but regardless you should be able to simulate a battery pull by holding power button for 10 seconds or until the captive button lights flash 12 times I think. When the phone powers down press and hold volume down only and you should boot into boot loader. From here you should have a better chance of using adb or fastboot or recovery if you have twrp installed. If you can get to boot loader you have options especially since your s-off.
Good luck man

Ok I was able to get into bootloader and tried to flash MeanRom after wiping cache/dalvik/factory reset/system three times each with a new download of MeanRom and it said it flashed successfully. I rebooted and it keeps getting almost to setup then reboots. Should I try an RUU again? If so what version should I use?

That's good you can get into the bootloader, as previous poster said, you have a lot more options. I would save RUU as a last resort. See if you can flash a different ROM, like viper 4g or clean ROM. Or maybe an older version of mean ROM.
Sent from my EVO LTE

That's odd that after a full wipe mean ROM won't boot. Wasn't there issues with mean ROM if your recovery wasn't up to date. I would do a full wipe and try to restore a nandroid. Someone with more knowledge than me can defo help you . You can access bootloder, you have a recovery installed so you should be fine.

Ok upgraded to the latest TWRP and tried MeanROM again. No go so now I will try CM10 to see if that works

Great news CM10 works and so does an old version of MeanROM guess I just cant run version 3.2 or 3.3. Thanks again for all of the help everyone! This place is the best.

[Q] New phone, flashed recovery, cant load custom ROM, hangs installing Kernal

I just got an Evo 3D and I am trying to flash a custom recovery image. I used htcdev to unlock my phone, then I flashed the latest Clockwork mod recovery image to the phone using fastboot, but when I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader it just reboots and it never takes me into recovery. Ive tried flashing a few different recoveries in the hopes that I just got a bad file but nothing works. Any ideas?

Can you get into the bootloader by doing the following:
- Pull out the battery
- Put the battery back in
- Hold the volume down button
- Hold down the power button while still continuing to hold down the volume down button
From there you should go str8 to the bootloader screen rather than the splash screen.
If you get to the bootloader screen, are you able to get into the recovery from the bootloader menu?

Yea, do the battery pull, you can also unchecked 'fastboot' in settings, power.

So since I posted, I have made it to the next step. I have TWRP recovery installed and working, but for some reason the whole boot.img and kernal flashing doesnt work. After trying for another couple hours trying to install MeanROM I have had no success. Flashing the ROM from recovery works fine, but once it gets to the step of updating the kernal, it just freezes and I had to pull the battery (waiting 10+ minutes). After doing so, I could get past the boot screen, but it would never properly load the ROM, I just got an endless status bar and black screen. I went through this process a couple of times before I decided to restore to my original nandroid backup. Even restoring the backup caused it to hang when it got to restoring boot.img. After waiting another 10 minutes I pulled the battery and rebooted and luckily was able to get into the stock Sense ROM, which is better than nothing, but I really wish I could install a ROM like MeanROM.

Try 4ext Recovery (see my signature). It will flash the kernel properly for S-on users.
It didnt work for me, I am still on the stock ROM so I dont have root access. Is there a way to flash 4ext through fastboot?

You might need to play with this combination but hold down the power button and volume down for about 10 seconds or so then let go. Then hold the same combo down to get into the bootloader. Once in the bootloader navigate with the volume up and down to highlight recovery then press the power button to select it. Once you get back into recovery, flash a rom to at least get you back up and going.

[Q] I bricked my HTC one

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed with Trickdroid, found some bug, then I decided to try the Renovation HD Rom. Got frozen during Aroma twice. Then I rebooted twice. Now my device is half-bricked. I can't get into recovery anymore. Tried CWM, TWRP. doesn't work. everytime I tried to get in recovery, it will just jump to the HTC screen. and after the HTC screen, it will reboot itself, and keep looping...
I want to try to restore using RUU, but there is NO RUU for AT&T version now.
I can't get in recovery, I can't get in the system.... I am stuck. Hopeless now.
Am I the first to brick a HTC ONE?
After 5 hours of struggling, IT got into the recovery again!!!!!!!!! didn't know what I did to make it work. and flashed with Renovation HD Rom and working now.
Update: If you keep getting boot loop, or can't get into recovery, try the ALL IN ONE kit and use the "erase cache", that fix my problem, and I learned it the hard way..

Hi I am a complete noob and just got my HTC one and went way to fast with rooting my phone and may have a bricked phone as well. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the clockwork mod recovery using the all in one kit. I proceeded to boot into the bootloader, and then went into the recovery. I backed up my phone at the point using clock work mod. I then wiped my phone to factory settings and wiped the cache. At that point I forgot that I had not put my ROM that I wanted to use on the phone storage. So i pressed reboot now. Obviously this was a mistake because there is nothing on the phone to boot off of. Now I have an HTC One that is not turning on no matter what I do and I have no idea where to start. Anybody know where I can start? It is also worth mentioning that I made another noob mistake by starting this process with 35% on my phone so is it possible that it is out of battery and not able to charge?
Charge battery copy ROM to SD card press volume up and power look for clockwork mod recovery go to SD card and install rom . Hopefully nothing more is required. Don't panic if clockworkmod is giving you brick sign usually its a sign you have wrong clockwork mod installed.

[Q] How do I fix my wife's HTC one x+ ?

So I was trying to root/rom flash my wife's X+ to the Viper rom. I unlocked the bootloader from HTC, downloaded the all-in-one app, but it only had CWM on it, so I flashed CWM, pushed SU and installed SU with CWM, everything was fine. \
Loaded Viper rom on to internal memory, rebooted into CWM, installed Viper rom with full wipe. Phone rebooted, got Viper start up screen, booted to Viper lock screen, but when I unlock it, it shows a white screen with HTC on it, and wont let me get into anything. If I hold the home button, it says set up stopped responding, wait or close. I then reboot and all I get is a black screen with the battery, wrong time, and no signal at the top and then it resets it's self after about 2-3 mins. I cant get into the memory card or debugging before it reboots. What can I do to get the phone back functioning?
1. What method did you use to try to root? see above
2. Do have twrp or cwm installed? If so can you boot to recovery? CWM, yes
3. Can you boot to bootloader? Yes
4. What software version is phone on? 4.1.1
4. Does you pc recognize the phone when plugged in?
5. Does the phone boot at all? Yes
6. Can still get to fastboot? Yes

First thing's first, what hboot version are you on? you can see that in the booloader screen. Mine is 1.32.0000 which is the previous version.
Anyways, ADB works in TWRP. I'm running 2.4.4.0 and I noticed it can take up to 30 seconds for it to start. You may want to start with that version: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/evitareul
Once in TWRP, you can either use "adb push" or "adb sideload":
ADB Push:
Run "adb devices" until your serial # shows up
run "adb push c:\somefolder\rom.zip /sdcard/" to push the rom zip to your phone's sdcard. It can take up to 10 mins to transfer it this way. You can use one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235248
ADB Sideload:
While in TWRP, select Advanced then ADB Sideload
Type "adb sideload c:\somefolder\rom.zip"
Once flashed, reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img then reboot your phone.

Yes, the first is an .exe and can be run from Windows. However, you may need to flash stock recovery( which can be found here ) first.

you have no idea..... lol kinda glad im at work so i dont have to hear about it, but kinda wish i was home so i could fix it faster, lol
i should be home in about 3 or 4 hours though, and i will try a few things and let you guys know the status. I appreciate all the help so far, hope i can get it back up and running asap!
before going back to stock, i would flash a different rom mate. latest viper as a known issue where it leaves you stuck at that very point I'm sure while its stuck on the htc screen you should be able to connect it to your pc and drag a new rom across, if not flash TWRP 2.4.4.0 and "sideload" or "push" your rom. Trust me theres no need to go back to stock.

First thing's first, what hboot version are you on? you can see that in the booloader screen. Mine is 1.32.0000 which is the previous version.
Anyways, ADB works in TWRP. I'm running 2.4.4.0 and I noticed it can take up to 30 seconds for it to start. You may want to start with that version: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/evitareul
Once in TWRP, you can either use "adb push" or "adb sideload":
ADB Push:
Run "adb devices" until your serial # shows up
run "adb push c:\somefolder\rom.zip /sdcard/" to push the rom zip to your phone's sdcard. It can take up to 10 mins to transfer it this way. You can use one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235248
ADB Sideload:
While in TWRP, select Advanced then ADB Sideload
Type "adb sideload c:\somefolder\rom.zip"
Once flashed, reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img then reboot your phone.

If you install the international 1.0.7 from a full wipe you get stuck at that very point.
I'll follow up with m0n then see if he knows anything about it.
However, I'm pretty sure we're talking about the AT&T variant of the HOX+

red triangle with exclamation point after twrp flash

So I've tried researching this slight issue and I have seen a lot of different solutions but none of them apply to my particular problem. My phone works just fine when booted regularly and charges just fine. The only time I'm having an issue is if I boot into recovery. I just installed twrp 2.7.0.3 and tried to reboot in order to flash supersu. No dice. I've tried rebooting into fastboot and reflashing and I've tried the M8 toolkit. Reflashing works, but still won't boot to recovery and the toolkit just hangs trying to flash the file. I think that's where my issue lies. I waited 19 minutes and eventually closed the program and just rebooted. I'm thinking this caused an issue and corrupted my recovery but i figured reflashing would solve this.
I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me, in which i'll just sit tight and wait until an ruu releases and stick with stock sense. The phone works perfectly so I can deal for a little while. I was just hoping to move to the GPe rom and get xposed running on it.
Thanks yall. I'll keep searching until I have to go to work and if I find a solution before anyone responds I'll update this post so it can be locked.
I would make sure you adb files are up to date, and try flashing philz recovery instead.

Are you using philz instead? I flashed twrp and it's very buggy. Did you fastboot flash recovery etc...? How can I install philz over twrp?
Thanks

yeah im using philz, have been since it came out as i thought the same about twrp, tons of issues.
definitely 'fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img'
It'll apply itself right over your current recovery no problem :good:

Seems like every problem in here is when someone uses a toolkit. IMO it is easier just to use the commands. There is nothing wrong with twrp as most people including myself are using it flawlessly. Download fresh copy of twrp. Make sure you get .img file, not .zip. Boot your phone, plug in and type "adb reboot bootloader" it will reboot to fastboot, if not, you do not have newest adb drivers, get this fixed before moving on. once in bootloader type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" this will just reboot your boot loader and let you know fastboot is working. If not fix this. next move to your directory with twrp and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp***.img" should only take 5 seconds. next type fastboot reboot to make sure system is still booting. Then type "adb reboot recovery" and it should go to twrp. Make sure you are getting the UL_CA twrp and not the whl. whl is for sprint and will not work. let me know. UL_CA is not available on official site. search the xda forums for it.
I actually tried the commands first and couldn't get it that's why I tried the toolkit. That's actually what ended up working for me though, but at least I'm good to go! I should have updated this a few days ago but forgot lol this thread can be locked if a mod wants to. Thanks all
