Alright so my issue is I flashed an ics rom on my evo LTE but accidentally with the wrong firmware. When the update was just about done, the screen went black. No charge light when plugged into a charger and the device will not power on, or do anything(tried button combinations). However when I plug it into my computer,device manager sees my phone as “My HTC”. So it seems to have a connection but it doesn’t do anything to the phone. Fix possibly?
Sorry for asking such a basic question guys. New to the forums but definitely not new to flashing roms. This problem just confuses me to death.
Can you supply as much info as possible.

Yes I can my friend. Of course, I got S-OFF with moonshine. Never had a problem there. Rooted also with moonshine as well. Flashed a lot of different jelly bean roms (CM, Meanbean) to see which one best suited me. Well after awhile I decided to give one of the ics roms a shot but the firmware version on my evo was for jelly bean only, not ice cream sandwich. Just as the flash of the ics rom was about finished, the screen went black. (Battery was above 50%). I tried every button combination, but nothing worked. Tried connecting it to a charger and the orange charge light wouldn't even come on. I even left it on the charger overnight, but no dice. So the phone is totally unresponsive to everything. One thing I did notice however is that when I tried connecting the phone to the computer, my computer makes the connection noise when it finds a
Usb device. Checked my device manager on windows and my phone shows up as "My HTC". So it seems as my computer has some type of connection to the phone. With that being said, would there be some way to use some unbricking software or any other way to unbrick my phone? (From what I see, I think the bootloader may be corrupted)
Since you can hear USB connection, I wonder if running fastboot devices from CMD would yield any results. Though I suspect you'd probably have to be booted to fastboot USB to see.

Would you know of what commands may work for my device? Cmd is new to me, or well at least when it comes to sending commands to phones lol.
Click the link in my sig. There is a guide for setting up ADB as well as commands in it.

Thank you much sir. Here's what I found out. When I type the command "adb devices", nothing shows up. When I type in "fastboot devices" here is what it says:C:\Users\lisa\Desktop>fastboot devices
C:\Users\lisa\Desktop>fastboot devices
t♥☻ fastboot
guessing that's not a serial number, as it should be, but it recognizes my device as a fastboot device. Is there any hope of fixing this paperweight?
ADB commands only work when the phone is booted to the ROM, whereas Fastboot commands only work in the bootloader when connected via Fastboot USB mode.
Can you get to the bootloader at all?

The only way I can get to the bootloader is by using the command prompt. Otherwise, my phone remains inoperable.
What happens when you select the recovery option in the bootloader?
Meaning that fastboot shows my device is connected but I cant access it on my phone.

Bricked Phone Stuck in Fastboot
My phone is bricked and I can only get to fastboot usb. I also lost TWRP, trying to run RUU for radio. Current radio is 1.12.11.1210 and looks like there is not a full RUU for this. SD Card also bad, so couldn't get my Backup. Is there a way that I can sideload or push TWRP to the phone? I want to re-flash a custom ROM in hopes that this will fix issue. I have flashed CM 10 in past, so I figure all I need to do is put CM on sd card and then I can flash from there.

no not at all. cant get to recovery. and usb to computer says in device manager qusb_dload. I have no idea what that means
Can you get to bootloader by pressing power vol down?
If you can. hook your cable to phone and get it to fastboot usb mode then run the RUU file on your computor. This will unroot your phone. this is how i fixed my phone. I hope you get it fixed.

you can start by telling us exactly what you tried to flash..link?
what your seeing with the qusb is usually a indication is bricked.
Try
Try hooking the phone to the computer, after you do that open a command prompt and type. "adb reboot recovery" I hope you backed up, run the back up you should have, then you should be fine, i doubt your bricked.

thanks for the responses but i panicked and took my phone in for repair and sprint gave me a new one.
After attempting to S-Off the phone yesterday afternoon and failing (it is unlocked), I'm now stuck at the infamous JPbear screen with the green arrow. I've read pretty much every post I can find on recovering from it and still cannot get the phone to boot correctly.
I flashed the boot img for the rom I was running, I created my own PH98 file with the boot image and AmonRa, I've tried to flash a complete rooted Global stock rom, as well as attempting a full flash of the rom I was running. The PH files seem to process correctly but when done I get a messaging it is parsing the file but nothing happens afterwards. On reboot I get the white HTC screen then straight to the black JPBear screen. The phone also does not recognize that it is plugged into my laptop or a wall charger, there are no LED's lit. Without the USB I cannot relock the phone so I cannot flash back to a stock RUU. Fastboot\Min-ADB\Controlbear all fail as the phone is not recognized.
Are there any other things I can try before I give up. I'm not sure if the S-Off attempt may have damaged the USB or not but it definitely does not respond. I do have the extended warranty on the phone but returning it would be a last resort.
I apologize for asking the same questions as many others but I have not been able to find an answer despite searching for most of the night.

Does not work. I've read the troubleshooting page and tried everything I could find before posting. Controlbear returns an error it cannot find the phone and prompts me to install the drivers and reboot. Fastboot and mini-adb return similar results (phone is not detected).
Thanks for the input.

Did you try placing a rom on your sdcard and flashing it in recovery, or just simply placing a signed PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard (meaning the official update)?

I did try a ROM but have no access to recovery. When I select it fro the hboot menu, the screen flashes for a second and then goes back to hboot. I cannot load the stock RUU because the bootloader is unlocked and I have read there is no way to relock it without working USB.
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the imput.

I tried that but no go. The main issue comes down to not getting the phone recognized by the laptop. The USB port on the phone does not recognize when it is plugged in (either to a PC or the wall charger). Controlbear or other utilities cannot find the phone so I cannot execute any commands. I've been searching for a strictly SD based solution but I am SOL.
Thanks though.

I can boot to hboot by using power and volume keys, but I have no recovery when I select that choice. If I choose Fastboot, it will try to load a PH image if present but when it completes it says "parsing file" and then goes back to the hboot menu.

I cannot relock the bootloader without access to to the phone. The laptop does not see the phone when connected to it. I cannot run the relock tool. I think the port actually died. No LED when plugged in to a wall charger or laptop USB cable. I have not been able to locate a way to relock the bootloader using the SD card.
Thanks again.

Nah no way to charge the battery. I have a VZW store near me and will take it there for a swap.

The only way to recover with the control bear program is to place all the files in its own folder and then CD to that folder and run from there.I had to recover my phone once. Took me a few minutes to wrap my mind around it. Just keep reading until it makes sense.
I need some help.
I'm trying to recover a friend's Evo 3d. He tried to flash a different ROM on it, and messed it up.
I'm on Windows 7 32bit. The phone is the Sprint EVO 3D (CDMA). HBOOT is 1.50.0000 S-ON
The device is not bootlooping. I get a blank screen after the HTC logo. I don't have access to USB debugging. I can get into recovery to try to flash a different image but to no avail - I get the same screen every time. I decided to get it back to stock but I can't relock it. ADB doesn't recognize the device and the device is very much in the device manager (proper drivers and all). I would love any advice.
Thank you.

You can boot into fastboot by holding vol-down and power from off. Then plug in USB and run fastboot(in the same folder as adb i think) with these args
Code:
boot PATH_TO_RECOVERY.IMG
and then flash a ROM. LightsOut is a good ROM. Hope I help.
Download the RUU and get into fastboot USB. and run it. That'll reset your firmware and radios and everything.
IF it has 1.50 s-on than it's still on Gingerbread, You need to update your radios and firmware, With the 2.89 RUU
Then it'll be on ICS, and you can unlock the bootloader
Then get s-off, You shouldn't be flashing anything with s-on lol.
(You can, but get s-off it's 1 more hour of work once you get it booting)
I must have been using a faulty cable or USB port, I tried it the next day with my girlfriend's Samsung cable and "fastboot oem lock" worked immediately. Ran RUU like a champ and it is alive and working now.

So i finally got rooted and flashed the 2/13/2013 version of the Supercharged Hatka ROM to my DNA. But i can't get the Wifi to work and for some reason, I still can't do any commands from the prompt. I've tried to install the drivers multiple times and when I plug my phone into my computer, it says either "device drivers could not be installed" or "the usb device is not recognized." If I try to boot into bootloader and get to recovery from there, it flashed the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen and then just goes right back to the bootloader. If I try to get to the recovery from the long press power button>restart>recovery, it just reboots the system. I need to either fix this Wifi problem, or get back to my stock ROM and retry but I need to get to recovery. HELP

Same story here, except the only thing not working for me is WiFi. And of course, can't ask the devs in their thread due to low post count. Good luck friend, I may try the newest release before jumping ship. Damn shame though, I like the ROM.
If WiFi is not working that means that you didn't flash the boot.img for the kernel.

Okay, but I can't do any other work on the phone because my computer says that the USB device is not recognized. It sometimes says that it is working like normal and I can reach the root and everything but then it will just cut out and say that it isn't recognized.
I couldn't quite tell what all your problems are, but it sounded like you are having trouble getting fastboot to work on your current rom, so you can't flash the kernel to get wifi to work.
If you are still s-on, and can't get fastboot to work so you can flash the kernel, you can buy the app ($1?) "Flash gui" which will let you flash the kernel while booted into the rom. You can also use flash gui to reflash cwr or twrp recovery.
Obviously, the better option is to get your driver situation resolved so you can not only flash the kernel, but also get s-off

I can get to fastboot and "fastboot USB" comes up when i plug into my computer. The problem is, my computer says that the "USB Device is not recognized." If i go to my computer, my phone's storage isn't there. My phone charges when plugged into the computer but it doesn't not seem to want to recognize it. Recently, I got it to recognize for a good period of time, enough for me to start to relock my bootloader and unroot, but when I went to enter the "fastboot oem lock" command, it just says "waiting for device" and it never does anything.

You can't access TWRP because you over-wrote it with the factory RUU firmware image, it isn't there anymore...
Download TWRP image from TWRP official site at https://dl.twrp.me/vigor/ or Flyhalf's build at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
Either one is good... then start fastboot, connect usb and flash recovery with the command:
fastboot flash recovery <path/filename of TWRP IMG file>
give it a minute or so, reboot into Hboot and start TWRP.
im having a similar issue but my computer always says waiting for device in command prompt. I have all the drivers installed and the phone says "usb fastboot" or "fastboot usb" (cant recall what order those 2 words are in LoL)

You probably have a driver issue then... Install HTC Sync, connect the phone, then disconnect it, remove HTC Sync and it should work. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port.
Honestly, I switched to Linux a long time ago... I don't have driver issues. If you were running Linux, even a live or USB key distro, you would access it easily.
