Bricked Phone after flashing Steve0007's img

I was one of the unlucky testers before Steve0007 closed the thread. Did anyone figure out how to save our Sensation after the bad flash? My phone does not light up or respond to any button presses but when plugged into the computer it is recognized as an "unrecognized device."
I guess this is the risk we run being early testers. Hopefully someone figures it out otherwise I've got myself very expensive paper weight.

I assume no two button rescue? And this should be in q/a or general
Can you get to the bootloader?

what did he brick people's phones with what was it supposed to be?

Wrong section. And that happened to me when i got an hd2 and i bricked it. Luckily it was 2 days after i bought it so tmobile gave me another because they thought something was wrong with it. But next time please post in the right section. Thanks.

Thank god I didn't flash it, I just finished downloading it when people started reporting issues.
Anyway, I'm sure he didn't mean for it to happen. If you have a spare battery, have you tried putting that one in?

These things are usually flash at your own risk.
I would never flash a ruu, unless it's official it could cause problems.

Also, if it doesnt work and if you have tmo. Tell them bs and they will get you one. Just some advice and please dont flame me.

tried spare battery. same result. And i'm sure he didn't do it maliciously I've flashed many of his things before with no problem. Just hoping to get some help. Phone doesn't respond. Can't get to bootloader. Only sign of life is windows recognizing that i plugged something into the usb slot.

Yes as I said, this happened to me exactly when i had a tmo HD2 and flashed a european ruu and it was dead. I tried everything. You will have better luck to talk to your insurance company.

Have you got ADB installed on your pc? If not start downloading and installing it. I will find some links, in just a sec.
Edit:
New to ADB CLICK HER
More to set up path CLICK HERE

Extract to system 32 or sysWOW64 (64bit)
Try 3 finger salute (VOL UP,VOL DOWN + POWER) with your phone plugged into pc and pc volume up see if it makes a sound like a device has connected.
Whats was this RUU anyway?
if you just need ADB you dont need all of the stuff above or to set up a path if its extracted to those folders

This is excatly what happened to me.Computer wont see the phone though,so no adb fix can be applied.Mnn i'm so pissed as i dont have insurance.

usually blagging HTC will do the trick for a repair,dont mention XDA, ROOT, ICS or basically anything except your phone said update was available and the battery died

What does it recognize it as?

unrecognized usb device

Ok guys, it looks like the firmware that I posted to another thread from 3.06 bricked few devices. I have flashed it and it worked fine, so i tried again with the package i posted and indeed it is corrupted as it bricked also mine
My device does not respond, so I would think it is dead
I feel sorry for those who have bricked also theirs based on the package i posted.
I am closing my Rom thread and starting now my Rom developments will be for my own use. I will not publish anymore my work.
Again I feel sorry for those who have lost their devices.
Steve

ok so now his rom thread is closed. Why not keep it open and work together to help those with bricked devices attempt to restore them to a working state?
That way you keep your reputation rather than running away after bricking devices?

Arrrggghhhh,This could not have come at a worse time

YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED. The term bricked means that your phone is a useful as a brick, i.e. if you can get into HBOOT, it's not bricked.
Gotta ask though, why did you not use the Hack Kit as its the only reliable method to root, my advice to you sir is when this gets cleared up READ AND EDUCATE YOURSELF before you really do brick your phone.
If you have a SDcard reader, pop out the SDcard and place one of the PD98IMG stock ROMs on your SDcard. From here you can reboot into HBOOT with the sdcard in your phone and HBOOT should pick up the PD98IMG and flash a working stock ROM. From here, you can root with the Hack Kit...
This will help you, read it and do what the stock ROM option...if you can get into HBOOT

I have tried doing that, it says loading image, then parsing, then goes back to the hboot screen, it doesn't say press volume up to update or anything else as I have read in many other posts. Am I doing something wrong? As far as not using the hack kit, I didn't really stumble on that until after it was to late, sure wish I had found it in the first place. Guess if I could just get it back to factory, I would accept that doing this isn't for me and not mess with it again. I am good at following directions, but nothing I have tried seems to work.

is the file named exactly "PD98IMG.zip"..you may also want to check the hide extension option to be sure its not hiding the .zip because if it is and you renamed it to "PD98IMG.zip" with the hide extension on, the phone will read it as "PD98IMG.zip.zip" and you would get that error.
haha and yeah man, we've all been there...I don't want to discourage you man, rooting is such an awesome experience and the hack kit is a pretty straight forward process, if you do the research and take the time to understand what you're doing, but lets see if we can help you out here first. I had the same issue you're having when I tried to flash a radio (same PD98IMG method you're trying to use) and it turned out to be the hide extension issue.

I had also verified that as well, I went under tools, folder options, view tab, scrolled down to hide extensions for known file types and unchecked... And, everything was correct, just verified to be on the safe side.

hmm, so its named PD98IMG.zip caps and everything? If its not working you m ay have to get a stock RUU and run it through fastboot..

This is why you should educate yourself first. You do not need to unlock the bootloader from the HTC dev site. Now you could flash the the stock ruu from the PC and then use the hack kit. Check the stickies in the Inspire general section for more help.

I understand that I should have been a little more educated first now, but I thought I had everything in order, thats what thinking gets me... I have tried running the stock ruu, but it gives the following error.
ERROR[155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I did notice the Image version the program shows is on the phone is 3.13.0.0, and it is trying to put 2.47.502.7 on the phone... Is this the problem? If so, whats the solution, I am so lost now its not even funny.... I apologize everyone.

Dalton, lock your bootloader again. Boot into fastboot and plug the phone. You will see fastboot usb at the top. Then plug your phone and open cmd session. Once there type fastboot oem relock. Once that is done, try flashing the .exe file in the HTC site (original GB update), making sure that you have HTC Sync installed.
If that fails, then I would try using the HACK Kit to gain S-OFF and root. You will then be able to revert to stock or flash a custom rom...

Had a similar problem when using aahk my own fault and I took care of it. Long winded, so short of it, are you trying to install through
1. hboot or 2. on the computer using HTC rom update?
I ended up trying 2. But ended up using aahk to finish.
HTC update errored out and the recovery portion would not work, just in a boot loop on HTC logo
This was good news as aahk could take over on USB during that HTC green letters white background.
I'd suggest reading the effen manual run the tool to get it up and going, figure out what you want to do. I've used it to return to stock with s off before go back into roms.
So look at those options know what you want and then power on the phone USB connected and during HTC screen enter your number the kit should take over and give you what you asked it.
That should give you a working rom image.

Glad you have it back....yeah you'd better read and make sure what are about to do it and of course what risks are involved before making a move....

Dalton,
I would suggest following glevitan's and willm's assertion of getting s-off and root to use custom roms. Custom roms are WAY better than anything HTC has to offer, and much easier to install, if you have an issue warranty wise, you can always return to stock. Just make sure you know how to flash correctly, search for it and you will find easy instructions, and if memory serves, a youtube video which helped me greatly.

If you are using AT&T branded cell then go to the htc.com site and in the support section of the inspire you will find it. Otherwise, you will find stock roms in the general section of this forum

Black screen boot, can't detect EMMC Partitions.

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.

[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.

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

[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.

Just found out:
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

So does it power on at all?

nope
when plugged in it only has a red LED that flashes once every once in a while and thats it
pc recognises it but wants to install qhusb_dload (as mentioned) and it just sais no driver found
i am researching and i found something called a "RIFF Box" but unsure if its worth it, plus i dont know where to jtag it (if its possible at all)
PS: hi from sydney!

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.

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.
