Evo 3d S-off Unbrick? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi there i have a problem
I have flashed cm mod 10 on my evo after super wipe
and my phone got bricked it won,t boot to hboot tested on new battrey charged and nothing
So my phone is S-off
And it seems that my evo won,t get into the emmc mod to be repaird so any chance of getting it repaired while having s-off on your phone

Did you try removing the battery for about a minute then doing the volume down power thing to get into hboot?

I Have tried it all
The hboot is bricked maybe
And my phone shows qsubs_dlload on the device manager
My phone is hard Bricekd some how
Fastboot won,t detect it and so do adb
i will hope that htc could fix it
I can,t get into the emmc recovery state because iam S-off too bad for me

Are you Cdma or Gsm? It could be that you might have flashed the wrong type of rom for your device. Well, in anycase you could check the unbrick method posted in the cdma or gsm development thread. Good luck to you.

I apologize I did not read the part about fastboot and adb wont recognize your device. Did you try to install the composite adb drivers for your device? If that doesn't work then you will definetely need to send it in for repair. It sounds to me whatever you did will need a repair tech to step in.

Thanks for replaying
Any way Iam planning to send it to repair today
And Iam GSM
I have downloaded the zip files
The name started with shooter_U Wich mean GSM
I have figured out that you can't enter emmc_recover if you are s-off
So next time if my phone got repared
I will try to keep it s-on
Only root and 4ext
And I will stay on stock ron unless a super amazing in believeable Tom comes up

Don't worry , your device isn't bricked. What recovery are you using and did you perform a backup before trying to install the custom ROM?

[Q] New Weird Unresolvable Problem?...

Okay so i've had my htc evo 3d for a while and i decided to root it finally.
i rooted it, everything was fine, it was s-on.
i flashed like 3 roms and everything was great, ....until i flashed a kernel.
i first used the MAC kernel, and it worked great.
but then i flashed the "No name" kernel from the same creator from the MAC kernel for the htc evo 3d and i got bootloops?
i also noticed it sent me back to Hboot 1.57 somehow? and i was on 1.58?
so, i went back into 4ext recovery and wiped everything and flashed a stock rom i had.
yet, i still have the bootloop going on...
what do i do? i really want my htc evo 3d back, i had to go back to my lg optimus V for now until someone can help me :/
Thank you for your time, and to whoever helps me with my semi-bricked device

It's not a Rom or kernel issue, try flashing my pg86img.zip in the EVO 3d gsm development thread, adding your own cid to the text file (this has only been tested on gsm) but if your already looping what's the harm in trying
But my htc is CDMA. Sorry I forgot to mention it's from virgin Mobile.

I don't think that's even relevant, but I'm gsm and can't test cdma so I can't tell you it works, but on another note, where's the harm in trying
S-on is an issue, I believe because you are s-on the kernel flash was bad, some kernels require s-off , did you try another kernel, or flashing bootimg through fastboot

Yeah I think it's an issue too. I've tried flashing the MAC kernel that worked before and nothing. Where can I find a bootimg? Is it the same as pg86img?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
No, pg86img is the firmware but some Roms have the bootimg within the zip, just open your Rom with WinZip or 7zip extract bootimg and place it on your sdcard and flash it with fastboot

The unnamed kernel requires S-OFF to work correctly
You can try 4ext, but you might need to run a ruu and.start from scratch again?

I know right? I looked at the the forum again and It nowhere says I need s off.... So it just screwed me over cause I was s-on. Where can I find a Ruu? Sorry, I'm kinda new to all this.
If I need to go back to factory stock unrooted, I don't care, I just want my evo 3d to boot up again Haha.

If you have the Virgin Mobile version of the Evo 3D the RUU.exe you want to use is the fourth one from the top on this page.
To flash the RUU.exe, if you have HTC unlocked the bootloader you will need to "fastboot oem lock" with the phone in the "fastboot USB" mode in the bootloader, then start the RUU.exe from Windows. It takes about 10 minutes to run and should leave you with a totally stock configuration, except the bootloader will say "***RELOCKED***" at the top instead of "***LOCKED***".
Before you run that it might be worth starting 4EXT recovery by using "fastboot boot recovery.img" from a PC and flashing a mostly stock rooted ROM like MeanROM ICS or CleanROM BE ICS because it sounds like you may just have a non-bootable kernel and 4EXT SmartFlash required for flashing kernels directly from recovery with S-ON won't work if the current kernel is not bootable. You could also try flashing the stock VM kernel from here after using the fastboot command to start recovery.

You should reflash a Stock ROM from RUU or extract ROM.ZIP to flash via Fastboot.

Thanks alot for your reply ramjet,
okay, well i tried downloading the 4th one from where you told me and file factory is giving me a "problem loading page" so i cant download it. i have my htc locked now and it says ***RELOCKED*** so all i need to do now is install the 4ext recovery through bootloader and flash the rom and kernel and run RUU,but i need your download.
Edit: So i tried flashing recovery.img through fastboot and i got "cannot load 'recovery.img'" ?
No, ramjet told you to flash 4ext recovery before you do anything, now you can't flash recovery because you have a locked bootloader.
if you still want to go the 4ext way, you will have to unlock bootloader via htcdev.com again or use the same unlock code.bin that you used previously. then fastboot flash the recovery. then get a Rom that works with your bootloader version and flash it using 4ext recovery with smartflash turned on.

[Q] White HTC SCREEN BOOT Loop. Phone restarts itself

I have a Sprint HTC evo 3d flashed and workign for boost mobile. I was using it yesterday for skype. Went to work doing my 16 hour shift last night. I came home and my screen was Frozen on skype. I pressed the power button and i got the restart scren but i couldnt click on restart. I couldnt click on the Home button either. I took out the battery and replaced it.
Now its stuck in a boot loop. It starts up, White htc screen for a few seconds, Restarts itself, goes right back to the white HTC screen and redoes that Loop over and over. I held down the VOL D button and poewr button and attempted a factory reset. It does the same thing. HTC boot loop. Took it to my local boost mobile store that unlocked and flashed and rooted my phone for me in the first place and he did a Hard factory reset from his computer and it does the same thing. He told me sorry but there isnt any software in the phone i cant fix this.
I called HTC and they said it sounds like the phone is a empty shell atm. There is no software on the phone so it doesnt know what to load up or how to do a factory reset. He told me to hold down the VOL D and power again and do a factory reset. Same issue HTC boot loop. Told me to click Recover, Same thing boot loop. Then he said click on FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER and hook it up to the cmoputer and see if it shows up in my device manager. it says ANDRIOD 1.0. Thats it. Cant go in and use it as USB storage. He then advised me i can send the phone in and they can reload the factory software on the phone but ut would cost me 275 dollors. I told him at that price i can buy a Galexy s2 or s3. Then he told me to call my local SPRINT STORE and see if they can load the ORIGINAL software for me.
I then called my local sprint repair store. I spoke with a gentleman that was the district repair person and was the only one that repaired anything in this area. He told me most like yes i have to have the original software loaded on the phone. He could do it but hes going on vacation and cannot do anything until he comes back after the christmas holidays. He also advised me since im friends with a coworker of his to come to this website. There will be the software i need with step by step instruction. I just need to laod the software on the Micro sd and take it from there. Im actually glad i found this site due to the fact is i been wanting to start flashing phones for alot of people i know including myself. I use to do iphones, xboxes, playstations, wii's ect so i have some basic knowlege but its been years.
I registered for this site and i cant find a thread with the software i need with the step by step instructions. Is there anyone can direct me to exactly where i need to be. idk if i have to flash it from the beginning with a custom rom. I perfer a custom rom becuase im going to be using it for boost mobile any how. If so could i get that information i need and step by step instructions I use boost mobile no idea if i need GSM or CDMA. Would be awesome Thank you very much for even taking the time to read this
Hi mate,

I just know my phone was flashed, rooted, unlocked ect. it was completely unlocked for evrything and over clocked. if it had some kinda recovery the guy at the store would of did it, it has no recovery. i stated earlier that htc and sprint said it prob has to be reloaded with software becuase it BLANK right now.

i went to the top one that says the SUU. Im confused. part of the instructions say this...
fter you've followed their instructions, you can come back here to get your custom recovery and Superuser setup.
So, you got ur Bootloader unlocked via HTC, now, on your phone, go to menu > settings > applications > development and check the box net to usb debugging.
Now, here are the rest of ur required downloads for the next steps:

TWRP Recovery
Thanks to Brandas for the above version of TWRP that works with HTC's unlock. He posted it in a thread last week, I just tested it and am posting it here.
Here is where he originally posted it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=223
Take both the su.zip and recovery.img files and put them in your sdk tools folder.
Then, get in your command prompt from ur sdk tools folder.

..... My problem is i dont know what they mean by SDK tools folder and i cannot turn on my phone to follow the debugging steps. the first step was unlocking boot loader. but in my boot loader it already says unlocked on the top of the screen so i skipped that step. I dont know what to do. i need to get original software on my phone.
From what I have read you need to be S-ON and **RELOCKED** for RUU updates to work.

Bricked my Evo 3D CDMA Sprint. Need help.

First off thanks for looking & any help is appreciated. Second I searched & got Search feature is temporarily unavailable. So I did search the first 5 pages by Ctrl + F.
Nothing was quite what I have going on. Mea culpa this was all my fault. I read read read & couldn't sort it out & I went ahead anyways. Now things are starting to make sense to me. But I bricked it already. I think it is soft bricked but I was so stupid & hasty I might have hard bricked.
I went here XDA, AF, Google & willy nilly everywhere. The only thing I did right was unlocking the bootloader at HTCdev. This is so stupid & flailing away, I can't recount all the things I did.
I have hboot 1.58.0000, S-ON, ICS 4.03, no root, no nandroid & no .img on sdcard. As far as I can relate what I did, I was just flailing away. I flashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shooter.img without rooting first. I don't think I was successful next at installing or maybe flashing RootingSuperuser.v.3.0.7.zip. I just threw files & flashes at my poor defenseless Evo 3D without understanding. Involved also were files such as fastboot.exe, a lot of CMD prompts entering commands after commands.
So I'm at the HTC white for a minute or so. Then it turns off & then after approx 30 seconds it turns back on & repeats over & over. I can get into FASTBOOT. But going into the next option BOOTLOADER throws it into bootlooping.
So my Evo 3D was innocent & through my ignorance I killed it! Please can it be saved? Will you help this soul who was frustrated, confused & foolishly proceeded?
Thank you XDA.
I tried a RUU at the kind suggestion of a mod over at AF. Here's the error I received.
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I believe I have version 2.95.651.5. And this RUU is version 2.89.651.2. Could this be a problem?

I think trying to flash CWM recovery. But I was confused. Should have stepped away from the computer/phone/etc & tackled another day.
It's not bricked. You just don't have a bootable rom if you get to the bios (HTC splash screen) all you need is to get a recovery and flash something. Had you bricked it you wouldn't be able to turn the thing on.

STock EVO3D boot loop Sprint 2.95 HBOOT 1.58

Can someone please help me. I can get into fastboot usb but I can not flash anything on this phone (stuck in boot loop). It is a stock non rooted Sprint EVO3d on 2.95.651.6 with hboot 1.58. It's locked and sON all stock. Apparently there is no Sprint RUU for the 2.95 and I was wonder if there is anything else I can do. I have looked everywhere and am lost. I am trying to fix this phone as the wifes HTC ONE m7 bricked yesterday while my kids were playing games and it won't turn on (tried everything the most I can do was get it into the bootloader but selecting any option would just make the phone freeze sprint confirmed it is bricked and now we lost some family photos, I am not too happy about. although her fault for not backing them up) That phone I have to call HTC on in the morning for a replacement since I do not want a refurb from Sprint that will take 5 days anyways. Anyways does anyone know what I can do with this Evo3d that won't boot.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
P.S. rooted many phones just been a while (Wanted to stay stock because it was just going to be a kids toy now we need it)

How would I be able to flash from the sdcard without having a recovery installed on the phone? If I even try to go into recovery it just loop boots, also a factory reset was of no help.
Thanks!

Well, with the 2.95 OTA, they included the HBOOT in the firmware, so it's now much faster of a load time for PG86IMG when doing the brick.
I pulled the new PG86IMG.zip from the OTA update, and it's only 19MB, which takes only 15-20 seconds to fully load and be ready to press volume up to update... this will significantly cut down on the time it takes to downgrade, as you can re-try over and over very quickly now.
Here's the PG86IMG file -> http://d-h.st/3p8

The pg86img.zip is read by hboot from sdcard root and flashed, or you can fastboot it from computer.
from directory with pg86img.zip, command or terminal
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip pg86img.zip
will send zip to phone and flash, then will return to prompt. phone will not reboot by its self, need to enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
this is not a full rom but the update from 2.89 to 2.95. May need to look for way to fastboot and wipe data or maybe a factory reset might help.

also can the HTC one go into fastboot? if so you can pull the files from it. I use linux for most playing with Android devices, is just easier
