Black screen boot, can't detect EMMC Partitions. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello,
In a last ditch effort to try and get an aokp rom on my one x sooner rather than later I tried running my telus RUU and returning to stock so I could then reunlock the bootloader and get to flashing however things did not go as planned and now I am stuck in that black screen that gets power but nothing boots up (no light, black screen)
So Here's everything I've done:
First off I had the Stock Telus 4.1 OTA installed when I started all this.
unlocked bootloader using htcdev installed TWRP 3.3.3.0 which obv did not work as I had 4.1 OTA, flashed 3.3.3.1
Installed custom rom yay!
Discovered I could not use aokp roms due to Touchscreen FW update in 4.1 OTA
Downgraded Hboot to 1.09 using Jet which got me bricked
Used unbrick thread to get unbricked
Still no AOKP D:
modified my mmcblk0p23 from 3.17.xxx,xx to 1.00.000.00
Ran RUU.
RUU claims to have completed successfully but phone is now in black screen, no power light
Does show up in linux as Bus 003 Device 006: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) but I cannot detect any emmc partitions.
Whoo, that was a lot of typing. If anyone has any ideas as to anything I can try, I'd be grateful indeed!

This doesn't look to good might of needed your phone up if you can't get those partitions out....I know you did your reading and had an understandig so I feel bad looks like you need jtag service..... Go to mobiletechvideos.com and maybe you could ask them about s off while you're at it

I'll just contact HTC and explain what happened. It's weird for an RUU to kill the phone especially if it said it completed successfully. if I need to pay to have it repaired then so be it I guess. Alternatively, I could bring it to telus and tell them running the RUU bricked my phone. I wonder if they can tell the bootloader was unlocked while it's in this state.

Since its completely dead the people there will not be able to tell what actually happened unless they plug into their specialized machines at HTC and see what got corrupted...so its up to you and how you feel you should handle this

I called HTC. They told me they'd charge to fix it and they'd have to replace the motherboard so they told me my carrier would probably do it for cheaper and faster so I went to telus and they replaced it for free since its only a week old

[Q] HTC Aria will not boot if plugged in

EDIT: Wrong category, sorry. I'm new.
Rooted Aria/Liberty won't turn on if it's plugged in (wall charger or USB). The orange charging light is on and the screen is lit but black. The menu buttons do not turn on. I have to remove the battery after unplugging it for it to turn on.
The phone is rooted and the problem is consistent no matter what ROM I use. I believe it is a problem with the bootloader, but I'm not very advanced with these things.
I rooted the phone with Unrevoked and whenever I boot into recovery mode it says "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4."
Any suggestions on how to make this problem go away? I know it's minor, but it is my mother's phone and every time I'm on the phone with her she complains about it.
The only way to fix a bootloader issue like this is to reflash the stock one, which you can accomplish by sourcing an HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your Aria. This will flash everything back to stock so you'll lose everything, but it will fix these issues that tend to pop up occasionally
Good luck!

I just did this and the problem is still occuring. I used the RUU on HTC's website that was the upgrade to 2.2. The process went without a hitch, but it did not do anything except change to the stock Froyo ROM. I checked and it was still Revolutionary's bootloader and the same HBOOT (6.02.1002).
I believe I read that Revolutionary is a protected bootloader and fairly difficult to remove, but I'm not sure. I've been researching this for 11 hours now. I've read a lot. >.< I'm up for a challenge, though, so if you or anyone else have instructions/link on how to replace it, I'll try.

I followed that and the only thing it did was change the top of the bootloader screen from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev Unlock." The hboot is still the same. The problem is still happening.
Is there a way to downgrade my hboot even though it is protected? Heck, I can't even turn S-ON because of that.
NOTE: The major problem I'm running into with all the forum posts I find is that they used megaupload to host their downloads and those links no longer work.

You are MAGICAL. Thank you so much! And thanks to juzz86 for the suggestions as well.
I used fastboot to flash the recovery and now it does the normal battery image when the phone is off and charging.
No problem. When that happened to me, I panicked but after a couple of google searches I came across that...glad you solved it.

[Q] Did the JB ATT RUU brick my phone?

Starting with where I am now: my ATT One X is totally unresponsive. Power button held, Power plus either of the volume buttons held, nothing produces any response. When I plug it into a wall adapter, the charging LED doesn't light up. It is both looking and talking like a brick.
Here's how I got here, and I'm hoping someone may have some kind of suggestion .
I had been running Tachi91's original Sense JB ROM. TWRP recovery. I used the AT&T JB update RUU from HTC's site.
Before doing this, I rebooted to bootloader and re-locked the bootloader. After this, I seemed to be unable to reboot back into system, so I just ran the RUU while the phone was sitting in the bootloader (figuring that the first thing the RUU seems to have done in the past is reboot to the bootloader).
The RUU went through its usual lengthy, multi-reboot thing. No errors whatsoever, everything seemed totally fine. Clicked "Finish" at the end...and my phone's screen went black. I figured it was rebooting, but unless it's taken the past 40 minutes to reboot (which seems unlikely! ), something is obviously amiss. See beginning of post for what I've tried since and results.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Phone dead!

Hey guys, need your help! I updated my AT&T One X using this manual method:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=464&p_name=htc-one-x-att
And now my phone is not even turning on. Its completely dead. Can't go into download mode or recovery mode! Volumes keys and power key not working. Please help!
Thanks ahead!
Was the phone completely stock, or was it previously SuperCID, rooted, etc?
No, I had rooted it previously and then unrooted it back because I couldn't go into the recovery mode then. Yes I was on stock!
If your phone is the AT&T version and you were rooted, you must have had SuperCID.
SuperCID + 3.18 RUU = brick (unless you are also s-off).
Sorry to say, you are now bricked. You missed my warning at the top of the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929
Your best bet know is to find a repair shop that can JTAG the phone.

Why in the world would anyone who wants a rooted phone do an ota or ruu to a unrootable firmware? Patience us a virtue even with a phone.... Wait a day or two, read and read more.. then decide, easier than "woops I upgraded and now help me" threads like this entertain me, sorry but true

Plug your phone into your computer and see what comes up in Device Manager. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, you're bricked. The JET tool might help you, otherwise it's jtag.

Make a linux boot disk/flash drive. It's easy.
ive gotta get a usb stick the dvd player isnt working, about how hard is it to set it all up and do, will i be up all night or is it a quick set up and job
I have tried connecting it to my PC and it says QHUSB_DLOAD in the device manager, what do I do? Can I fix it all on my own?
Sorry my friend but you're bricked. Sounds like you'll need a jtag repair to me.

[Q] Hard Bricked? Don't see how....

Ladies and Gents,
I made sure I chose the correct RUU based on my CID (CWS__001)
I relocked my phone and attempted to install "RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_ 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed.exe". After the RUU finished my phone seems to be hard bricked.
Won't Boot.
No power lights.
I knew this could happen when flashing an international version. AFTER getting owned I also found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929. Which was blatantly in the beginning of the forum. Has anyone found a fix for this issue, or is my only option JTAG repair?

You could take your phone back and tell them it won't boot etc.
If you can't get it to boot neither can they, so no-one will know it's been unlocked/rooted.
Some people will say this is fraudulent, but hey, if you can live with yourself who cares what anyone else thinks?
Pft I returned mine to Telus when the same thing happened to me. The way I see it, it was HTC's RUU that bricked my phone, not me. Like you, I did not have supercid and was S-ON.
You could try the unbrick Evita thread. If you make it past step 3 you can save your phone.
You'll need to boot to Linux.

Just curious about your situation. Did the kernel flash successfully and then just not boot? What ROM were you flashing it over? Tons of people, myself included, have flashed that kernel without issue so I'm interested in what exactly happened.

Sure, I too have used their kernels and have never had an issue until this time. So I started to install the kernel and it froze at I believe 60%? Then it sat... It said the flash could take awhile so to just wait so I did... For 2 hours. I knew something wasn't right because no elemental flash has taken my phone longer than a few minutes before this one so without thinking i'd hurt anything I held the buttons to hard power off the phone. After it shut off it's been completely dead since. No charge lights, no sign of any life at all other then the QHSUSB_DLOAD under device manager when plugged into my PC. the rom that I had flashed was the latest cleanrom. super bummed but i'll get over it. the worst part about this was I had pics of my kids that I had not backed up that are now lost.

That does suck about the pictures. That would upset me more than the phone as well. I went and looked at the thread after I saw your post and saw a couple of other bricks aside from yours in the last couple of hundred posts. Very unfortunate that flashing a kernel bricked it. I try to stay away from anything that uses the Aroma Installer unless there are no other options, not saying that was the problem, but I've had numerous issues with it previously. After seeing multiple bricks from a basic kernel flash I'm going to definitely be more cautious about what I flash from now on. I'd be totally screwed if I bricked this phone. Anyway, hope you end up with something better out of this, like the HTC One.

Funny thing about the One... I was thinking about getting it but after this issue I will never look at another phone that doesn't have a removable sd card...
I think a key thing to note here is that you are flashing software that has been altered by someone you don't know and you can never be sure that things will work out. There's huge risks associated with rooting/unlocking your phone. If there wasn't HTC would warrant your phone regardless of what you do.
If you don't have an answer to the question "What will I do when I brick my phone?" don't root. Whenever modding anything, consoles, phones, set top boxes, I always assume that I will render it unusable. If that doesn't sit well with me, I don't modify it. That should be the general rule of thumb to follow.

[SOLVED] Flashing light, no screen...Help appreciated!

Hi All!
Recently i flashed TWRP and Cynogenmod 10.2.1 stable to my HTC Telestra One XL (evita)
I unlocked boot-loader
I successfully rooted
But I shut down once, and when i tried to boot, it got stuck in a boot-loop
Upon many retries, it suddenly wont turn on
when I charge it it only has a flashing red light but it wont even turn on, no screen not buttons; nothing!
And if I plug it in to my PC, the pc keeps sounding the USB Connected sound multiple times over a short period of 30 seconds to 2 minutes and then it gives off multiple shaky beeps
I hope this is enough info to let anyone help out!
Thank You in Advance
EDIT:
when connected to a pc it shows drivers is ready to use but tries to install QHUSB_DLOAD but fails and latest RUU does not detect
Thx again
What is the exact full filename of the ROM zip that you flashed? When a device is showing up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in Windows it usually means it's bricked.

a friend of mine tried to flash a file named "cm-10.0.0-evita" and it gave off a message saying that this phone is not rooted or missing supersu/ something along those lines
before that he wiped sd card (whole thing)...
and then it went off from there
NOTE: its a phone with mess with, but still want to fix even though its just a side phone we barely use....help appreciated

How did he try to flash it -_- these vague responses make it very hard to help. Bottom line is you can try pressing and holding power until the light goes off and then power and volume down to get the bootloader up, if that doesn't work you can try the evita jet tool to try to unbrick it. Bricks such as yours are not recoverable 9 times out of 10.
It looks like your only option is to get a jtag repair done. I wouldn't bother trying to do it yourself unless you're a fully experienced electronic engineer or the like. I'm not sure how many jtag repairers there are in Australia but I'm guessing Google should be able to reveal that information. Howdy from Melbourne.

he placed the cyanogen mod on the phones sd card, then he wiped sd card, after that he used the install function on twrp it gave him a message that his phone is not rooted and if he would like to root it, he accepted, then it rebooted into twrp, and he tried again to install, same message appeared and then he gave up and shut it down...(sorry for vague terms, please bear with me, still trying to learn the ropes of talking on this forum)
I gotta say, this is all very odd :/ How did he install anything if he wiped the SD card after copying it over? :/ hmmmm In any case, you CAN try he jet tool as per my last post before getting a jtag. You'll need a linux install or Bootable USB stick/CD/DVD though.
My guess is that the only thing he installed was SuperSU. That'd be why it booted straight back into TWRP.

Hi guys!
im back
I JTAG'd the phone overseas, and it came back, surely enough, working, but now another problem arises,
the guy apparently unlocked the bootloader, S-Off, and installed CM with android 4.3.1. the phone boots, everything is well, but for times from 10 seconds to minutes of usage it just turns off, the Hboot shows
***tampered***
***relocked***
any idea wth is wrong with it now?
it does not reboot from power menu, and does not do anything really since I cant keep it on for more than a few minutes at most. I cannot keep it on long enough to unlock the bootlaoder anymore, and I cannot boot into TWRP (as the guy told me he put it on)
da hell do I Do now? any help appreciated
Try an RUU, any Evita RUU is fine if you have s-off.

Thank you, tried but it did not pick up, but:
UPDATE:
I booted into teamwin, and flashed a CM11snapshot (latest one) everything seems fine so far (after 20 million dalvik and cache and factory restores) but now i am waiting for the problem to arise again, if not, ill have one problem left to fix....the back button does not work....
and now how the hell do i use an RUU on a custom frimware, ? (used it once on this phone but using a stock rom)
thanks again for your time timmaaa, seriously appreciated

There's only one way to run an RUU, and that's to connect your phone and initiate the program in Windows. You're s-off so all security checks are disabled.
