okay so as many of you know I ruined my phone and i said i was going to send it to jtag repair. as much as i want that to happen i dont have the funds at the moment to do so. what i did was call AT&T and then told them that i had a problem when updating to jelly bean, theyre sending me a new phone and so heres my question! is there any hope what so ever to recover my memory? i went to go see "In Flames" and i really would like to get my pictures and videos before i send it in, in 4-6 days. any ideas? and please, be nice to me on this one, i made a stupid mistake. but now i can learn from it. :/
I don't believe there's any way to do it short of jtag.
When you're in QHUSB_DLOAD mode, what that means is that the CPU can't find instructions on how to boot up, in this case, hboot. Either it's corrupted or the partition map is unreadable so it can't find it. That means it has no way to read the onboard memory because it has no OS to work with. It's like trying to start your PC without a bios in place--nothing happens.
Hi Elivis, you responded awhile back on my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187491
I tried everything that was suggested by you and others with no luck, my question is am I having the same problem as the OP?

No. He has a corrupted hboot, most likely. It can happen when your phone dies in the middle of a firmware update, which seems to be what happens during an OTA with SuperCID.
You have some strange connection error that's preventing your computer from communicating with your phone.
My simple mind is wondering why if hboot is corrupt can you just not run the jet tool then go through the unbricking process

QHUSB_DLOAD mode usually means you bricked hard and unless you have some software that the rest of us mere mortals don't, you will need to warranty it.

Yes Odin is Samsung. Get in touch with the s-off guys they have been playing around with download mode and may be able to help.
Borrowed this maybe it throwing you into recovery may help, also they said fastboot flash works, maybe flash twrp from fastboot.
beaups said:
I tried the pg1fs. sig check failure. As a matter of fact doing "fastboot flash aksldjflkadsfjdlsk pg1fs.img" causes the same error, so something is in the img that causes sig check or any flash attempt except recovery is sig checked. Fastbook oem refurbish puts out a lot of interesting text, then reboots into recovery and looks for something (doesn't say what).on sd card (I tried copying IMG's to internal and external sd, no luck). Interesting thing about refurb command is it seems particularly "excited" about the fact that we have super CID - run it yourself and see, no harm is done (data, etc.). one recovery boots you can screw around with volume and power keys to see the text.

The rom flash said successfull and so did the gaps zip. Then when I pressed reboot the phone never cam back on. I tired living it charging overnight in case it lost charge (even though it showed almost full before I flashed). I'm not sure but I think I may be out luck?

Is your mmcblk0p4 from 2.20? I don't know if that would matter.
I think it's because we are using Ubuntu 12.10 and not 12.04, will report back eventually..
12.10 is not happening, if it's successful on 12.04, even just the unbrick method, I'm not concerned about the downgrade anymore, this could be good news for our little international rom lovers

sorry i was out...no partition is from 1.85 or maybe even 1.73 don't remember,
any luck ?? have you tried to talk to beaups or 18th.abn ?
Unbricking has been a real pain in the butt using ubuntu, we found it to much easier and more successful using tinycore from a bootable USB. I don't know why, but it's been proven on several devices so try that. Also, p4 holds the device imei and cid, when it gets corrupted in may be causing the soft brick because p12 is dependent on its information since it also displays the device imei and phone info, so do p12, make sure your using a signed image and do p4, which can be any p4, the imei will just have to be repaired afterward. It will spring to life, I promise you

@crappy, nah we had to stop for the night cause I had to get up early and get senior pictures taken.
I had him install Ubuntu 12.04 rather than use a LiveCD, so we'll try it again later today.
@18th
We got to the point where it starts writing p4, but hangs and continuously sends the Reset, I posted in the thread over at the evo LTE forum asking about it, holding the power button for 30+ seconds as suggested prints an error cannot reset device
I am using mmcblk0p4 from crappy, and your hboot from dropbox.
On the hox, you only need to hold down the power button for about 10-12 seconds so 30 may be too long and sending a time out to the emmc recover tool

Hey guys, I just picked up a Inspire as a play toy since my cousin upgraded.. What in looking for is a RUU for the latest update if there is any.. 2.3.5, firmware 3.20 if I'm not mistaken. (Its not in front of me at the moment).. I've tried numerous sites and it seems as though they don't exist anymore..
Quick history, phone worked fine. Bone stock, never rooted or unlocked. So she took the latest update, and ever since then it has problems... Main thing is when the screen goes black, it reboots. EVERY SINGLE TIME. So I decided to unlock via htcdev, fastbooted twrp 2.4.4.0, and flashed a rom to see if it fixed it. Flashed jellytime and respective gapps, no dice. Phone is still rebooting upon locking. Last resort is a ruu... I've tried over clocking, overvolting, etc... No go. I'm not ruling out hardware 100%, but bc it didn't do this before the update makes it last on my list... Any advice?

I wouldn't recommend flashing a lower firmware.... Not sure if anything bad will happen but it does not seem like a good idea. Besides, aahk has been retired. There is no support for it and it is only for advanced users.

Didn't do this before I took the 2.35 ota.. I've tried 15 different ROMs, different kernels, I tried overclocking and trying to get rid of deep sleep. Don't know what else to do. I'd love to try to raise the voltage but every kernel/ROM I use doesn't give me that option.
Also I'd like to mention when I boot into bootloader it immediately searches for pd98img.zip. is this normal? I never seen another boot loader look for a certain file..

This happened after installing RUU 3.18.502.6.

This has happened to a few people. Were you rooted with SuperCID? It's not clear what the cause is, but your phone is bricked.
It's possible the jet tool might be able to unbrick it. There is also a service called jtag that will cost around $75.
You sir, are screwed. QHSUSB_DLOAD means the phone is most likely bricked.
Did you have SuperCID? You should have read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929
You can try the unbrick evita thread. You'll need a Linux boot disk. If you can't pull up the emmc partitions then you're SOL. Which is most likely the case but doesn't hurt to check right?
If you manage to restore your phone be sure to s-off before trying to ruu again.

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.

I bricked my phone trying to install elementalx and phone wouldn't boot at all and no lights. sent it in for jtag and they told me emmc controller was unresponsive and sent it back to me. looks like I may have to trash the phone... or make a few bucks on ebay.

Did they refund you? I was going to send it into mobiletechvideos for JTAG. I don't see the phones selling for more than 100$ on ebay.

If the emmc controller isn't responding, it's worth even less than that.

they did refund. minus the cost of shipping and something else, however. it was worth a try though... All I know though is I will never touch an elemental kernel again... not worth it that's for sure...

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.

Install twrp 2.3.3.1 and reformat sd card with a pc. Move Rom to sd and reflash. And also what hboot? I know you said s-off bit did you fastboot the boot.img and see is that helped?

thanks first of all I was on CMW, formatted the drive as computer prompted, lost the data but was able to flash the ROM and fastboot the boot image to phone.
Now only one problem the phone restarts and then goes to boot loop everytime I have to fastboot the boot image file.
DO I need to change the recovery and is there any way to by pass the fastboot process? Sorry for noob question
