hey all! maybe someone can help me out. as of an hr ago i had to activate another evo lte we had for dev purposes . all i did was reboot into recovery and "Poof" instant black screen and phone is unresponsive. power button dont work up and down buttons dont work. and like i said the screen is black like no power is getting to the phone. i had a full battery when this started.
any help would be appreciated.
plug it into your computer and see if your computer tried to install drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD if it does that means that your bricked. But you should be able to fix it using the tool below when running in ubuntu (preferably 32 bit otherwise you need to do extra stuff to download appropriate lib files for ubuntu) (you can run ubuntu from a usb, or full install but the tool will work in a virtual box)

hope this helps

Ok rom? Kernel? Any idea which base? And just because i gotta ask did you accept ota or did it start dling ota? One more thing u did try the "battery pull" right? Holding power down for ten-twenty secs then letting go? If so did capacitive lights blink or no?

would never take an Ota, running Miui JB, was playing around on it for a bit very very smooth.
aosp kernel same as cm10, paranoid and aokp. i wanted to flash an audio fix but never went to recovery just went to a black screen. Other phone we were using was fine with same rom and same recovery,and still no problems with the phone rom or kernel.
these phones have a built in battery, didnt know you could pull it.
and also i held the power button down for a very long time

The power button hold is the battery pull it simulates it at least
Your positive it was a jb kernel with a jb rom?
Did you use rom or root toolbox and accidentally wipe recovery by chance?
Thats what it sounds anyways
Best case scenario battery is dead and it charges and you can flash recovery thru fastboot. Worse case take it to sprint and play stupid customer and walk out with fresh evo and ask to be allowed to check hboot versions...yes theyll let you ive done it lol

This time I have really f***ed up guys. I really think this time I have actually bricked my Thunderbolt. I was on Bamf Remix 1.63 I believe and everything was running great. I was obviously rooted also. I was bored and decided to flash Protekks Battery Sipper Kernel. Right after I flashed it, the phone would not boot. I pulled the battery and booted up again and it got stuck in a boot loop. So after a few tries I finally got it to boot into the bootloader. I got into recovery and tried to flash a backup and it rebooted in the middle of restoring it. I tried that a few more times. I then let the battery die. Then I charged it up a lot and tried to power it on and got nothing. The screen will not even turn on. When plugged into my computer it sometimes vibrates and my computer detects it and then my computer makes the sound like it was disconnected. I think it is still stuck in the boot loop with the screen off though. BTW the charging light does light up when plugged in. I tried the stock and extended battery to make sure it was not a battery problem. I finally called up Verizon and after I told them it would not turn on he said he is shipping me a free replacement. I told them that after a OTA update the phone would not boot. He warned me that if there is any evidence that the phone was rooted or hacked, I would be charged the retail price for the phone. That is really the only thing I am scared of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Sorry for the long post, I wanted to get in all the details that I could.
Thanks

Wtf? This isn't Samsung. OP do you bootloop in bootloader? I recommend you go to the irc and give them any info you can.. you will probably end up flashing a stock ruu through the bootloader but first go to irc.

Yeah I did not think we have Odin for HTC phones, and I already have the stock zip file on my MicroSD card but my screen will not turn on at all. I can not get into anything. Any advice?

OK thanks for the replies. Do you think the Verizon warranty center people will actually go to the trouble of getting it to work and then charge me full retail for a new one if they see it is rooted. I already have the stock zip on the SD card so when it does boot up, it will return everything to stock. I have read online that some people have been charged retail because there phones have been rooted but most of them have gotten away with with it..

I think you're almost certainly fine. It's a lot of work and time for big red over one phone. Plus, your etf is less expensive than a replacement device
Sent from my Thunderbolt using XDA Premium App
thanks for the response man. etf= early termination fee? I might not have said in my original post but they are sending me a free replacement device. The rep on the phone specifically said that if they find my phone to be rooted or hacked, that I will be charged around 629$ for the refurb replacement. I really cannot afford that (
Call back and tell em you accidentally dropped it out of moving vehicle and that it was run over 5 times...and that it was raining outside. Then pay your deductible.

I got out of a bootloop on my friend's Insipre 4G (which is very similar to the TB) by mounting the microSD on my computer, and then putting a stock ROM on it. I had to rename the stock ROM PG98IMG (PG05IMG on Thunderbolt), and flash it through the bootloader, but it did work.
Thanks for the post man but the Thunderbolt does not show any signs of life at all besides the flashing orange LED at the top blinking and the computer detecting it on and off every 5 minutes. The stock zip is already on the SD card so when it finally boots up it will flash and hopefully Verizon won't charge me out the @ss for a replacement.
powered on! for a second...
UPDATE: I just had it hooked up to my laptop and it booted on the the white HTC screen and I almost had a heart attaack :O but then it powered off and wont come back on. FML

how long have you had your phone and what hardware revision was it? did you try to run the RUU yet?
i think some people just got a batch of faulty phones because this doesn't seem to affect many.
I highly doubt verizon is going to receive your broken phone and boot it up and it will magically work. The only way it will auto-update is if they boot it into HBOOT. If they somehow just power it on it won't automatically apply anything. Keep that in mind. But I really wouldn't worry too much about it. If they charge you call them and tell them wtf I wasn't rooted. I don't even know what that means lol.
I have had the phone since the very first days it was released. Another slight annoying thing I have had happening prior is the glue on the screen has not been holding it down very well and and I can easily get a nail under it. And it wont let me do anything. I have a Droid X as a backup for now but I miss my beast

that's what im starting to think as htc has since released a revision 2 thunderbolt. i know as i just bought mine a few weeks ago. im wondering if the faulty phones were version 1 phones and have since been fixed. i also do not experience the high battery drain most of you guys do either.
I need to get this phone in a bootloop.
How can I do it?
I need to return the phone to the Sprint store because of light leakage but they said 'that's not sufficient reason for a return' so I need to bootloop it. Help me out guys, please?

I also have this problem that when I go into teamwin recovery my search button has a dim light on it while all the other buttons are not lit on. I'm talking about the capacitive buttons at the bottom.
Do you think If I show a sprint employee that screen it will raise a flag or are they too stupid to know?
Also, I was thinking of just flashing a ROM and midway through the 1st boot I just battery pull. Does that sound like it would loop me?

If you don't have an Evo3d well ...
I have seen many threads asking how to get OUT of a bootloop, but NEVER have I seen one trying to get INTO a bootloop. lmao. So you're going to get yourself into a bootloop, and take it in rooted, with S-off and all? I wonder how well that will go over. They'll be like,"oh look, it has a software problem because it's bootlooping. Oh look at that, this thing has S-off and super user installed, guess no software warranty on this thing.". The reason I say you'd be taking it in with S-off and super user is because you'd need that to flash something to get you stuck in a bootloop....and if you unrooted it and turned it back to s on before you brought it in, that would mean you had to run an RUU, which would at the same time fix the bootloops! LOL Just demand they replace it for the light leakage, rather than intentionally trying to make it bootloop. That is the funniest **** I've seen all day!

That light over your search button is light leakage. The other buttons are supposed to be off while you're in recovery. Just deal with it. I have that problem and many other people do as well.
I don't know why you're so worried about light leakage. It really isn't a big deal. There is no point in taking your phone back for this. You're just screwing the rest of us in the long run.
It's not just light leakage. Ever since I took the OTA I get random reboots, even tho I'm using SupraROM. I'm within my 30 days, they have to give me a new one.i just tell them that doing the OTA the battery died.
Take a leak on your phone. Lightly.

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!

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.

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.
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!

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.

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.

Thanks everyone wholeheartedly! i was abale to pay a guy 40 bucks to fix it using his jtag Apparentely he only had to rewrite the boot.
So for everyone having the same problem, JTag is your solution nothing else
Juste a small question, i have viper 3d rom on it and i was wondering is it the best ?

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.
So last night, when going to charge my phone, I notice that turning the screen on wasn't bringing me to my lockscreen. Instead it was a black screen with a line in the middle. It looked like the screen off animation got stuck on the screen. So I rebooted it and it was fine.
Today, I wake up and it won't respond at all. Holding the power button does nothing, it doesn't look like it's charging either. I know that I have it set up to run lagfix at night, could that have been the cause of this? Is there any way to come back from a brick?

Yup, there is a way to fix this. Visit your local Sprint store and have it replaced. Hope you have insurance, if not its $50. Gods peed to you.

No insurance. :crying:
After plugging the device into the computer, it says QHSUSB_DLOAD. So I guess that confirms it was from lagfix.

Well you're going to have to pay the $50 then. And yea its from the "lagfix". That "lagfix" is really just TRIM. It's disabled off CM10.2 currently for this exact reason. It's been having a grand ole time causing a brickfest.

I thought even if you had insurance you had to pay to get a replacement? Isn't only the in-store repair free?

You only pay the deductible if the phone is lost or stolen. For hardware failure, with TEP, there should be no charge for a replacement device.
Jtag might be another alternative, as well. Shoot XDA member Zarboz a PM for more info.

PM'd Zarboz. But is there any way for me to unbrick it myself? I'd really like to leave going to sprint or mailing my phone away as a last resort. I've found a few unbricking tutorials, but they say that they're only for bricks that occur when going S-Off. Would it be crazy to try one of those anyway?

It won't work. You're not the first person to have this type of brick. It occurs as a result of faulty hardware, which can only be replaced, or flashed directly with JTAG (and even then, you'd still have the same hardware, and be prone to the same issue again).
I guess you missed the part in the Lagfree app OP that mentions the "brick bug."

Well, no, I saw it. I thought I would be fine because I only saw the affected devices as samsung ones. Thanks for the input though. I'll just replace it or wait until I can upgrade.

Might help if you go to the thread and mention that this device appears to be affected as well, otherwise more may suffer your fate.
Bricked??
Yesterday I restored a backup that I've been running for mounths, restored fine and no issues. Today I got a text went to unlock the device, had snow like an old tv with no signal. I pressed home and got the lock screen but there was major screen tear and the device was very slow to respond. I managed to get to twrp recovery and there was also screen tear/snow and the middle 2/4 was not there and non responsive, so couldn't wipe, fix perms or restore any thing. Tried that a few times, now the only response I get is I hold the power button for 10-15 seconds, capasitive buttons flash, let go of button, half a second later there is a quick vibration and black screen. I can't get in to the bootloader or recovery. Am I hosed?? tia Also when I charge it the light doesn't go on
I too had this issue, but my phone went white then turned off and never turned
Back on. It was a hardware failure. They replaced mine for free.

I plugged the device after a while and the orange light comes on like it is charging?? Is that a good sign?? I try adb commands but it came up device not found. Any suggestions?

Let it charge for a good long while, then try to power it up.

If I still had insurance I would do this, but I'm not sure a new Evolte is worth $50 to me, especially with my upgrade around the corner. I'll just have to say farewell to this phone. It was a good run.

Let charge for a while it booted and got stuck on the splash screen but the coloring was off. I plugged it in to the computer ran "adb devices" and it found it said recovery and a long number. I tried "adb reboot bootloader" black screen and that was it.

Looks like an issue with the screen. If you have TEP I'd take it to Sprint and let them look at it. Shouldn't cost you anything to get it replaced.

Wow, you guys were right, you do get a free replacement.
At first, I was set on just living with my mother's old SG4G, but I couldn't stand how outdated it was. The screen looked meh, and I couldn't even install Chrome on it. So I was ready to pay the $50 to replace it, went to sprint with my evolte, and the guy there said he could only service active phones. So he changed my active phone back to my evolte, and added insurance to it. So I walked in with a broken phone without insurance, and left with a new phone for free. I'd say that's a lucky day.
Thanks for your advice guys, you guys just got me a new phone for free.
