[Q] RUU Brick - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I bought my EVO LTE with TEAMWIN on it. I had a problem with it and attempted to do a factory reset in teamwin. I somehow deleted everything from my phone and it now gets stuck on the HTC screen when booting. I have tried to run RUU on it, but it comes back with error 170 because my computer does not recognize the USB connection. I tried to install the driver, but that also doesn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I should start?

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.
Are you S-OFF?

Thanks for that link. I followed the directions and installed the driver, but I am still getting the 170 error when trying the RUU. The only thing that I am able to get into is the teamwin control panel. I have tried to install the RUU with the phone "mounted" and also without it mounted. Anymore suggestions? Thanks for your help!

I'm S-Off. Not sure how to change that at this point if I need to?

Is their a reason why you want to ruu? ... If you want a functioning phone just download a ROM (viper ROM, mean ROM etc...) And install it through twrp by putting it on an SD card and flash it.

Did you re-lock your bootloader before you tried to run the RUU?

Bricked Aria?

Hi all i think i have bricked my aria, the power button doesnt work and my cm7 rom crashed and i dont know/cant get into recovery i can get into the stock recovery but to use it you need to use the power button to select options. any ideas? thanks
If you have CM7 installed you don't have stock recovery anymore, you have Clockwork Recovery instead. What version of Clockwork are you using? Newer versions use the trackball to select, you could try that.
Maybe you're confusing "stock recovery" with the bootloader screen. If that's the case, try installing the Android SDK w/ ADB on your computer and using the USB connection to run the command adb reboot recovery.

It must be since the stock recovery is erased with CWM in order to be able to flash the rom.
Have phone off and plug into wall USB. Should go into cwm, right?

It can't be stock recovery you got into. It must be CWM recovery you got into since the stock recovery is erased once CWM is flashed. This had to be done for you to install CM7. Have you experienced problems with your power button before your rom crashed? And how exactly did it crash?

Yes. So he has version 2.5.0.1.
Hi thx for all your help. Yes it is the bootloader sorry i was confused, the rom crashed a long time after power button broke and im unable to get into cwm do you normally hold down and power on?

I'm still a little confused at to your situation. Is your phone currently off or on? If your power button doesn't work, how did you access the bootloader?
Anyway yes, normally holding down and power on will take you to the bootloader, at which point you can select recovery. If your phone is currently off and the power button doesn't work, you have two options:
1. As andrew.cambridge suggested, plug the phone into the charger. That should bring up clockwork unless you have an off-mode charging version
2. Use ADB to send a recovery command from your computer

Don't edit your post to say something completely different when you realize you were wrong. At least use strikethrough and add the correction.
sorry what is strikethrough? what should i have done? i can get my phone on by plugging charger in then putting battery in but it goes into the bootloader i think but it has an option for recovery but i cant select it
What you need to do is turn off the phone completely (do a battery pull or whatever you do to turn it all the way off). When off, put the battery back in (if it is not in already). Then plug your phone into the wall charger while it is STILL OFF. This should prompt it to go into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM).
I would redownload your whatever ROM you are planning to use and the correlating version of gapps (Google Apps) to your computer. Unplug your USB from the wall charger and plug it into your computer. In CWM, use the trackball to go to the mounts and storage option and press the trackball to select, then go down to the mount USB tab and click it. This will mount your SD card to your computer. You can then transfer the zip files of your newly downloaded ROM and Gapps to your phone. Once finished transferring, click the mount USB option again to unmount it from the computer. Then you need to click go back.
Now you need to do a full wipe. Click wipe data/factory reset then yes. Once done, click wipe cache partition, then yes. Once done, click on mounts and storage and you need to click format system, then yes. Once done, click format data, then yes. Once done, click format cache, then yes. Once done, click format sd-ext (if it exists), then yes.
Now you need to install your ROM and gapps. Click install zip from sdcard and navigate to your ROM zip file, click it, then yes. Once done, do the same for your gapps zip file.
Now you need to click the reboot system now button. It will take a little bit for it to boot, so give it plenty of time. This should get you back on your feet.

Also, STAria was referring to the user Theonew, with regards to the strikethrough and add correction statement.
Thanks for your reply, No luck with that unfortunately when i do that nothing happens. If i plug the charger in then put the battery in the phone turns on but just goes to the cyanogen screen and stays there

That's the bootanimation. Have you tried letting it sit there for like 10 minutes?
Does it ever actually boot into CM7?
Ok. Try connecting your phone to your computer and use ADB to boot your phone into recovery.

When you say it gets stuck, do you mean that the arrow stops moving and it just stays there or the animation just keeps going and CM7 never actually loads out? Anyways, this happened to me before and all I had to do was a full wipe/reset and reflash the rom. Everything went well after that. Did you follow ALL the instructions given in post #11? This should have fixed the problem.
it stays on that screen forever if i let it, also all i get is cannot find device when i try and adb into it. What state does your phone need to be in to use adb?
Do you have the phone drivers installed on your computer?

[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?

Try downloading 4ext from play store, after inatalling it will walk you thru the set up to flash the recovery
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?
EDIT: I got it installed with fastboot, trying it now. Thank you for the suggestion!
EDIT 2: I worked!!! Seriously, thank you again!

I think Im bricked

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!

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

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.

[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.

same issue here. I think they not only messed our RUU and made it corrupt, but made the entire OTA corrupt......
Same here. Mine is stuck at the progress bar though. I have to reboot it and then I get the red triangle.
Did anyone of you having this Red Triangle issue ever did any modifications to your phone? Suppressed any apps, deleted them? any changes made to the phone can make that happen. Also while on the red triangle, have you tried pressing the down or up button, sometimes it displays the error what wen't wrong with the install.
If push comes to shove, factory reset, then install. (data will be lost)

mine says
finding update
opening update
something along those lines then it says, installation aborted. it all pops up after i press the volume up key
Pressing power/vol-up in recovery toggles "show recovery text". You're not actually "doing" anything that might affect the update by doing this.
That said: If it is failing, there are basically two reasons:
1) Bad download. The update file itself is corrupted.
2) You did something to the device and the update will not continue because it has detected this.
If it is 1, wipe cache/dalvik (use fastboot to boot into TWRP from your PC if you have to) and try deleting/re-downloading the update. If it is2, you'll need to find some way to return to stock. Waiting for the RUU to be fixed in this case may be the most prudent step.

I have not made any modifications to my phone at all. The only change I do is kill the power saver app when I restart so that it is not in my notification bar. I did do a factory reset last night and then attempted the update again with the same result.
After getting the red triangle, I have tried both the up and down volume buttons but they don't do anything. Sometimes I can get to the recovery menu when also pushing the power button but the only option that works is the reboot option.
I also attempted the manual update option from the HTC website but ran into the issue of the bad file that there is another entire thread about in the general forum.

have you tried installing the past .8 RUU on your phone and then trying again to get the .11 OTA? maybe that can work. (its a PITA but worth the try at this point.)

I have not. I will try and find it when I get home tonight and see if that works. Do you know if it is available on the HTC site or if I will find it somewhere here on the forums? I just backed everything up last night so I am willing to give almost anything a try right now. I will let you know if it works or not.

There is no .8 ruu.
You'd have to try the .8 firmware in the dev thread, and an .8 nandroid or stock Rom

Thanks, I prefer not to root or flash my phone at this time. I will just wait and see if the .11 ruu gets fixed and try that.

Ir there is no .8 RUU then in the website you will find all the software that's ever been shipped with out with out phones, start from the back and let the OTA's do the rest.

Mugetsu posted a bone stock nothing touched .8 nandroid on the .8 thread. I flashed that, made sure twrp didn't root it, then finally flashed the stock recovery. Rebooted, took the .11 OTA (took a few reboots to make it complete at the progress bar in stock recovery). I'm finally now on .11 and rooted with twrp.
I was s-off and unlocked by the way. Didn't relock at all.

I solved it. Just had to factory reset phone and it worked. Don't actually know what was causing the phone not to update, but it good now
