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?
hold vol down + power... Until boot loader shows up, select recovery.

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

Thanks for the help. I ended up following the instructions from the very bottom of this guide.

After that it worked great!

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.
Hi everybody,

If I were you, I would follow instructions on following thread

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
and good luck!

Still trying to fix this I now have no recovery and just get the two icons wipe data and fast boot or it just keeps trying to load a Rom that isn't there so it sticks on the main logo screen if I could get it to show in windows that would be great but now I have no recovery I'm not sure how to even get it to install anything once I do !

As long as you have the fastboot logo, there should be hope. First, you will need to do whatever you can to get your computer to recognize fastboot mode. In order to do this, click on the fastboot icon on your prime and then plug your usb into your pc. What does windows say? Is the device showing in the windows device manager?

It shows up but then says failed to install driver will try it on different pc,s see if it works thanks for the replies seems fairly easy
Ive found on my device that it sometimes requests two different drivers. One for adb/fastboot, and one for mtp. I just cancel the one for mtp as they are not in the naked driver set, and windows then detects another different device.

Okay, you're half way home! The reason why nothing shows in adb is because fastboot and adb are two completely different interfaces. When in fastboot, your device will be expecting the fastboot command only.
Now what you will have to do is find a recovery that is in the blob format. Cwm would probably be okay. Twrp would be good, however the new version requires the nvflash version of the bootloader.
Once you find the blob of the recovery you want, place this in the same folder as the file fastboot.exe
It should be in the same place as adb. If not, place the blob somewhere easy to remember.
Then in a command prompt, type
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery blobfilename
If you placed the blob in the same place as fastboot, then the above will be the blob filename, or better would be to include the path as well.

hi guys and girls happy to report that thanks to the community my prime is aliiiive !!! used a utility off here called knives and forks to install adb and then downloaded fast boot and extracted to my users directory then used the fast boot command to push the blob to the prime into recovery then used adb push adb push virtuous_prime_s_9.4.2.21_v1.zip /sdcard/ and installed virtuous to get it running then it all shows up thankyou to everyone so happy took all of five minutes lol. my trip to london for 3 hours will be less boring now !!!:laugh::highfive:
I messed up I know I did but please help me! I have an HTC One X+ (AT&T) and currently I'm at a dead end. I tried to install and flash Cyanogenmod 10 but my phone did not boot up. I panicked and wiped the whole SD like an idiot to get the ROM off. But now I have no OS to boot up in and no Roms in my SD to Flash. My PC no longer recognizes my phone is connected when in TWRP. So I've tried multiple ways like Side loading or using the ADB Push command but nothing seems to work. I've heard if you have an OTG Cable you can stick a Flash Drive directly in and transfer the ROM on that way. Any help is appriciated!
As far as i know, USB on the go only works when Android is booted. Even if you wiped the device it should affect your device being recognized in recovery. Are you sure you have all the drivers installed?

I'm almost 100% guaranteed I have the correct drivers. HTC Sync boots up whenever my phone was plugged in (When it had an OS) and let me access the phones files. Is there any other methods of pushing the ROM.zip in the CMD? Thanks for the reply BTW.
Your best bet is sideloading. But sometimes it takes ages before your device is detected in recovery... If i was you i'd boot into recovery, connect to your PC, then go make something to eat \ go for a walk \ have a game of COD ect lol Come back in 15 mins then try sideloading.

Hey, well I finally got the ROM onto my device but now comes a new issue. The phone will not boot after I install the ROM. (I've tried multiple Roms just to see if the one I chose was incompatible). No ROM is working. Here's what I'm doing.
Open boot loader
Select fastboot
Go on my PC and type "fast boot flash boot boot.img" in CMD
Then I go into recovery mode (TWRP)
Clean the dalvik-cache and cache
Go to install
Install the rom
Reboot the device
Sits in boot screen "Htc quietly brilliant"

@BenDroid1
You can write the custom recovery to your recovery partition using dd in an android terminal emulator from the play store. You would need to know which partition holds your recovery.
For MY device (your partition is different) it would be as followed in the terminal emulator:
Code:
su
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/customrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 is the partition that holds my recovery on my device - yours will be different!
You can also use this method for the boot.img towards the boot partition as well as data to data partition, and so forth.
If you have CWM and you were smart enough to create a backup of your device, then I would write the custom recovery to your recovery partition, boot in to CWM, and restore your device with your backup. Then, reboot, plug device in to your computer, allow the computer to reinstall the drivers and hopefully at this point you should be able to establish connection with adb/fastboot again.

Because right here according to your quote you mentioned that you resetted your device, lost connection to your adb. Only time you can use ADB is when your phone is running. Only way you can confirm if you lost connection with ADB is if your phone is up and running, you open up command window on pc, then run 'adb devices' and if nothing returns then you have no connection. Otherwise, there is no way to confirm if you lost connection to it. So by your quote above, you made it sound like you got around your bootloop problem but could not connect with using ADB and no longer had CWM on your device.
Try to be more clear next time lol.
Have you tried using fastboot instead of ADB?

Your phone has a bootloader. You need to access your bootloader, select fastboot, plug your device in your pc, open up command window, then type 'fastboot devices'.
If you get your device serial number returned back to you then you have connection. If it returns blank, then you do not have connection which at this point I will not be able to help you.
