[Q] brick or hope? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

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?

Sounds like a softbrick. Go and download RacunHunter from unlimited io. Though I think its linux only.

i will give it a try. right now anything is better than NO PHONE!

Your not in windows 8 are you?
I don't think you can't s off on windows 8

64 bit isn't supported by DirtyRacun. Some people have had success but I'm sure there's a good reason they don't (driver issues or something like that). Just use a live disc of ubuntu. It's not hard.

Selling my Droid Razr - Bricked/won't charge

Hey,
I didn't feel like going through the trouble of buying the Motorola factory charger or whatever you need to charge the phone when it said *battery low* *cannot program* when trying to use the RSD program (might have spelled it wrong) to restore to factory settings. My battery must have been low and in the middle of the restore, it stopped and now Im unable to get to either recovery or charge it.
I had insurance luckily so I just got my galaxy nexus back and should be to me tomorrow. Do yall think someone will buy this phone like that? i have 2 nandroid backups on there so it's probably not safe to sale with that stuff accessible.. smh.. that's why i liked the samsung galaxy s and galaxy s 2 devices because you can use Odin which makes the phones virtually unbrickable. The phone's in PERFECT condition. Would be nice if there was a way around that man
how much? just curiosity...
That's why its always recommened to have full charge when rooting or installing custom rom. I hope someone here in the forum can help you solve this issue.
you can make one looks like here:

if you want to give it a go, will cost you a $3 cable if you mess it up, and will gain you a $300 phone if you do it right.

Yeah but you know when you're a frequent flasher and are sure it only takes about 10 percent batter at the most, you don't charge it to the max but I just made a boo boo by not reading the part that said *You must be running a the rom already before flashing the update portion*.. that caused the bootloop..
Thanks a lot though. You're right

Get phone in to ap fastboot and go down to bp tools and then press vol+.
Phone should reboot in to a sort of recovered state (last firmware that was on phone) and allow you to charge up.
Once 100% retry flashing.
I screwed my phone several times already and thought I wouldnt recover. Through some chat help have always recovered. Same for my Charge after a few times you figure out all the tricks.
You can recover it. I've done it twice
If you check out my post it shows you a alternative and easier way charge your phone again and make it back to stock rom and no root. Then you can sell your phone for a better price or just keep it!
Ill give you $150 for it...
Ill trade you a Samsung Charge for it. Seriously though you should be able to recover.

(SOLVED) Pretty sure I'm bricked...

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.

[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:

Help!! Not charging or connecting to pc

Ok so last night I transferred some files with otg cable. Unmounted and then went to put it on charger and it does not recognize the charger. It did charge after I powered it down. But when the phone is on it doesn't recognize anything plugged into the usb port. Anyone have any suggestions? And if not how do I run a ruu or something to get back to stock for warranty without a connection to pc?

Quick update. I am on 3.09.401.1 firmware and a 2.24.401.8 based rom. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but it will charge in recovery mode but not booted up. So seems like a firmware/software issue. Is there any way to flash firmware without using usb to pc? Because it won't recognize the usb at all.

Weird problem. Not sure if it will work but you can try "flashify" from the play store to flash firmware, etc without usb. Keep us posted on your results.
Also see if you can access it through bootloader. You might be able to RUU. Alternatively, factory reset and install ROM in recovery. Or try side adb in recovery..

I have been running this combo for a week or something. Ever since the firmware hit the forums. And had no issues until two nights ago when this first started giving me grief... so I don't know what has caused it.
I also posted this over in the international forums and there's a guy over there with the same issue.

well i am downloading a stock backup and i have a stock recovery not sure how to get them both to work... because i have to flash the stock rom with twrp and then how do i get the stock recovery flashed with a stock rom.... i will figure it out. anyway my plan is to try to take an ota and have that change the firmware and then i will know if i have a hardware issue or a software issue.
Lol. Now I'm not sure what to do. I reverted back to stock rom and recovery and then realized the touch drivers I have aren't compatible.... But I am booted up and plugged into the pc and it is charging but not coming up on the pc as a device. I don't know if debug mode is on because I am stuck at the first setup screen... Ahh I can't seem to catch a break here...

That's what I am trying to do... However I can't get the pc or the phone to recognize the connection. I have been messing with this thing and getting nowhere for so long I feel like I'm just banging my head agains a wall...

...have you tried booting into safe mode and then see if it is recognized? Just a shot in the dark. :fingers-crossed:

How do I get into safe mode?

Press the power button until the power options open. Tap and hold POWER OFF on the screen and the phone should ask if you'd like to boot into safe mode but if your touch panel is not working for you this is not going to work.

Correct. I have totally screwed myself I think. I think I basically at this current time have a fairly lightweight brick that lights up. I have no touch capabilities at all and nothing recognized when plugged into PC. I have tried plugging into a windows 8 and also a Ubuntu machine with no dice in fast boot or adb....

I dont think it is prob with some ROM. I used HTC One with stock rom (official stock by HTC) and after three months my phone stopped charging and also stop USB connection. I googled it and it was universal prob and also HTC knows about that.
See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417377
Phone acted very strange. Details are in above link. And also there are 2 or 3 threads more like this.

Did you end up getting it resolved and if so how?
I don't think AT&T will look kindly on me for having it unlocked and s-off and for having a rom/firmware mismatch...

Unless the OTA adapter screwed up the USB connector pins for data but not power, then you should be able to recover. However like stated there has been a few reports of failed USB connectors.
Does there seem like there is any damage to the usb pins in the connector on the phone?
Did you make sure to have the HTC device drivers installed on your PC before trying ADB. Do you have a Windows 7 PC to try?

So far I have tried on win8 winxp and Ubuntu.on the windows pcs the drivers were definitely installed. No dice on any of them. I am thinking the connector must be messed up. I can't see anything obvious looking at it but the fact that on three pcs one of them running Linux didn't find the phone but will charge it is pretty definitive. I don't have the money to pay for repairs due to having "tampered" with the phone(even though it doesn't say that) it is an AT&T phone with s-off and unlocked and a 1.55 hboot and has a inverted splash screen. Pretty obvious...

If you boot the phone into the bootloader without the cable attached it should come up and say fastboot. When you attach the USB cable does the display on the phone change to fastboot USB or stay only fastboot?

Yep, then it seems the pinouts on the USB connector have been damaged. Bummer.
On the plus side consider this: AT&T will probably still give you device exchange without charging you a fee. First, they mostly don't care about users modding their phones. Secondly there are so many exchange requests coming into them for the One, that all the defective units will just be sent back to HTC directly by AT&T and at that point HTC is not going to bother to go back to AT&T and say listen this list of devices were modified. If they did, that would create a backlog on work for AT&T to match the records to owners and then contacting them and trying to prove that the user did this so far removed from the exchange that it doesn't make business sense to them.
I have seen AT&T users report that they have sent in devices that were extremely modified and obvious, but AT&T proceeded with the exchange anyway because they would rather keep you as a happy customer than spending time trying to prove what you did was the only cause of the failure. Users have even sent back total bricks that they created by doing something stupid and AT&T still replaced the device without question.
When you modded the phone, that basically ended AT&T's obligation to help you with any service/software related issues, but the modding did not void the hardware warranty and it seems your device has a hardware issue that was unlikely caused by the software modifications.
The key in your case would be to do the defective device exchange via phone/mail and not via the walk in device service center.
If you don't want to do this because of the possible risk of flagging by them, then I may be willing to buy your bricked device if you are not going to do anything with it. PM if interested.

Help phone bricked i think

try conecting the device to a linux pc and see if fastboot or anything works, or if the partitions mount
Did he by any chance swap partitions like say from ROM manager or a similar app etc. ?
