[Q] HTC Amaze 4G bricked during wire trick - HTC Amaze 4G

I was trying to s-off my HTC Amaze. When I reached wire trick, my first attempt failed and ControlBear told me that s-off failed.
I tried again and suddenly ControlBear stopped detecting my phone. I looked on my phone and it looked like bricked.
I unplugged USB cable and tried to switch on my HTC Amaze but failed. I also tried to log into bootloader by pressing Volume Down + Power but phone did not turn on. I replaced battery, tried to charge the mobile but in vain.
When I put my phone on charge with either USB cable or wall plug, not even charging light turns on.
Now I am unable to turn my HTC Amaze on. I have also tried HTC Unbricking Project http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627882 but it does not detect my phone.
Please help me!!
I am S-ON, stock ROM GB.

I was trying from Ubuntu.

Try to charge your phone again or hang it to wall charger without battery for 45 minutes and than try it again.

Soft Bricked Evo 3D

I tried my hand on rooting my Evo 3D. Was successful using revolutionary, but i kept getting error messages so i wanted to put it back to the original way it was.
I did the updating of the ROM through the Shooter Shippoed ROM, i have the drivers installed, and now it's stuck at the HTC screen with triangles on the corners.
When i run the ROM update utility, the update doesnt finish and says, "ERROR [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR". So i proceed with the recovery process, but it still goes through the same thing.
I can't get to Recovery Mode either (through vol down+power)
Help?
BTW, It's GSM.
By recovery mode, do you mean fastboot? Or will it fastboot, but not go into recovery?

It won't load the fastboot, so i can't go to recovery options. Basically, when i turn it on, it's stuck on that black screen with HTC and triangles on the corners.
When you plug it to a computer, do any drivers come up? Check device manager in settings system on the comp.

I installed the drivers, then when i plug it in the first time, it recognizes it but when i unplug and plug it again, it doesn't recognize it anymore.
well when it does come up, try going to sdk tools in command line and run "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" if fastboot comes up, you can probably load everything through there.

Black screen + recovery access impossible + qhsusb_dload driver not found

If I were you, I would follow instructions on following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
The install is using fastboot so it would work for you.
Your flyer is in QDL mode. There is no way to power it off short of opening the device and disconnecting the battery. Based on your description of how you got there it should be fine ok if you let the battery run down so that it powers off completely and then charge and power on again provided you had a working CWM installed. If that doesn't work you will have to send it in for repair.

I tried to disconnect the battery, charge flyer and put it on but it doesn't work... Is there any way to left QDL mode with a program or something else ? :crying:
From what I understand, Qualcomm download mode means that everything is gone, including the ROM and Hboot. Without hboot, you can't recover from this. As globatron mentioned earlier (in December!) you need to send the phone for repair.

sdpinsens thanks for your reply.. But, there is an error while processing adb reboot recovery.."error: device not found".. Could you please advise what has to be done next...
first: make sure htc sync is installed on ur pc, because it's need htc usb driver to define ur device....But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
second: try to boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB....., then in pc adb type command: adb reboot recovery ....
if you still can't resolve the problem, try this command: type command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img --------> you can get recovery.img file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775840
then
fastboot oem lock

once the phone boots into the bootloader you have to press the power button to select fastboot from the menu (vol +/- are used to scroll). this will put the phone in fastboot. if your usb connection is detected it should display "fastboot usb" on your phone after a few seconds.
what software version do you have? If it is 2.11.605.9 then there are extra steps need to get it.

If you are on the system version stated above use this http://www.cd-net.net/dev/Joomla/index.php/projects/htc-thunderbolt-hacking to root.
Thanks I'll try it

Another option disconnect the phone from the USB and reconnect it after a few seconds. Might have to power cycle the phone also.
Solution to "waiting for fastboot"
I just ran into this same problem, nothing I could find would work. I was using the thunderbolt all-in-one solution to root my phone and was stuck on the revolutionary step. If I power cycled and booted into recovery and selected fastboot, the phone would say "fastboot usb" for a moment, but then it would just say "fastboot". Finally, I found a solution. With Revolutionary stuck at "waiting for fastboot...." I did the following:
* uninstalled the HTC drivers
* reinstalled the drivers
* power cycle phone and boot into recovery
* select fastboot
again it said "fastboot usb", then toggled to "fastboot", but then windows gave me a message telling me that a device driver was installed, and it togged back to "fastboot usb". revolutionary was then able to find my phone and go to the next step which was... booting into fast boot (once moar). again it hung here, and I had to repeat all of the above steps.
after this I was able to install CWM successfully, and use the all-in-one tool to install the super user program.

I am on Windows 7
Try running the tool on administrator. Also when you connect the device before you start the process and you get the prompt to run HTC sync don't touch it. Don't close or allow the dialog just leave it be until the tool is run.

Bricked(?) trying to convert to Developer Edition

Hello,
I was trying to convert my T-Mobile HTC One to a Developer Edition so I could receive OTA updates by following the instructions here. I made it to step 11 where I changed the CID to BS_US001 (from T-MOB010), but encountered an error trying to change the MID to PN0712000 (from PN0713000). I also tried to change the CID to 11111111 which also worked, but I was still unable to change the MID. At this point I searched around for alternate ways to change the MID and found this post which I was able to follow until step 5. When I rebooted to bootloader at step 5, the phone never turned back on and I got a message in Windows saying "USB device not recognized".
The phone doesn't turn on at all, I have tried to hold power and power + vol down for around 30 seconds and nothing happens aside from a few vibrations every 20-30 seconds. I've tried holding power + both volume buttons for over 2 minutes to no avail. The PC I'm using is Win 8.1 using the USB 2.0 ports. I left it connected to the wall charger overnight and it only gave me a flashing red light.
Am I permanently bricked? No matter what I've tried, the phone just will not turn on at all. I tried running the RUU but of course it didn't work because the phone wasn't recognized as being plugged into the PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've also attached a screenshot of the command window up until the point where I tried to reboot and it never turned back on.
When you get the "unrecognized device" the phone is on. Chances are, it's running a badly modified HBOOT that is trying and failing to get into RUU. LAst tiome that happened to me, holding the power button for *exactly* 16 seconds brought it into RUU mode (did not display the HTC RUU logo). From there I was able to run the RUU.
If you can get to that point, the RUU should install so long as you are SuperCID. If it does not;
Make sure you have the latest adb/fastboot - (or search google for "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" which has always worked for me)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Install the modified tmous hboot following the instructions here:
http://rumrunner.us/hboots/
This will enable the use of the fastboot oem writemid command allowing you to change your MID.
I use this HBOOT when doing any conversions on my device. It allows all of the commands and has yet to fail me getting RUU's to run.
I have converted from T-Mobile to Dev, GPe and Int'l (and back to T-Mobile) several times and haven't bricked.
Keep working at it. These things are hard to brick!
Thank you for the reply! I'll try what you mentioned and report back on the results. I probably should have waited until I had a windows 7 PC to work on, but mine is currently in shipment. Hopefully with those tools you mentioned I can resurrect it.

Well, I was able to get it working again. I actually tried plugging it into the usb 3.0 port on win 8.1 and it didn't give the unrecognized device message so I went from there. I did have to install some 8.1 fastboot drivers for usb 3.0 which was easy. I tried to run the t mobile ruu which didn't work because I had changed the CID but after that the device just booted normally.

[Q] Soft Bricked! One not recognized by computer

So long story short my cousin tried to flash the SlimKat ROM the other day and somehow managed to soft brick his phone. Now it gets stuck on the splash screen of "HTC Quietly Brilliant". I thought it would be an easy fix by sideloading a new ROM by adb but that didnt work. I can get it into bootloader (1.44.0000) and fastboot but the real problem is that the computer doesnt recognize the phone at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers and have tried 2 different computers and 3 different cables. I can get it to say fastboot usb but whenever I type a fastboot command it gets stuck "waiting for device" and when i type "adb devices" it doesn't find any device.
Has anybody seen this or have a solution?

So now it finds the adb device, but when i do
adb sideload (filename).zip
It only comes up with a list of available adb commands. Am I not doing the command right? As far as I can see the phone has no /system partition and it cant mount /external_sd to install the old ROM zip from the sd
U have to move the ROM into the adb.exe folder, rename the ROM into ROM.zip
