Before anyone tells me to ask on the specific thread or go on irc to get help, please know that I did all of those and thats why I'm opening a thread
So, I bricked my HTC Sensation a couple of months back while trying to update firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
But it didn't work properly, and then it didnt have a ROM and it needed a firmware too, and nothing worked. So anyways, i kept trying and all of a sudden my phone wouldn't turn on, charge or anything at all. I realised it was bricked. So recently I saw this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
So I decided to give it a try, but my problem is that when i type the command in the terminal, it said device wasn't connected.
Then i came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pcxt6nKI10
So after much effort, I got my sensation to become QHSUSB_DLOAD mode on my computer in Windows. But I realised after I take out my battery and sdcard and plug it into my linux computer, the same thing happens. And when i plug it back into my windows, it doesnt get recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD anymore.
And it's really hard to get my sensation to show qhsusb_dload mode too.
Any advice on my problem? Thanks. Really wanna get my sensation alive again.
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere (have searched the forum but can't find it previously). Am a newbie to rooting and don't want to brick my device as I'm still mid-contract.
Have finally decided to S-OFF and Root my phone using revolutionary, CWM recovery and su-2.3.6.3 before flashing CyanogenMod 9. I know I have to set my Fastboot to off, and switch USB debugging on. My question is this:
When I connect my phone via USB to my laptop, I get the choices of charge only, disk drive and HTC Sync. Which should I select? Some websites/forums say select HTC Sync (and ignore any subsequent warning message of not being able to find it), other websites don't make any mention of which one to choose.
Also, is it correct that I should uninstall HTC Sync from my laptop? Again, this is something that some websites mention, but not others.
All help massively appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi,
Look HERE
Or HERE
Ok guys so here is my problem... I am new to rooting android phones as I just converted from an iPhone.
So I found Hasoon2000`s awesome All In One Toolkit for my HTC One S. I went for it... I installed the HTC Drivers, registered at HTC DEV and wanted to get my Token ID but no luck. I plug in the phone (USB Debugging enabled, fast boot disabled) and click on go. The phone goes into the bootloader (I believe the one with the white background and diff. color text) and the cmd on my PC still says waiting for device. I dont know why, I tried both fast boot on and fast boot off, but neither works and I really want to root my phone I would really appreciate , if someone could help me because I cant seem to figure out how to get past this error.
Sorry but questions go in q&a as posted in the rules

Hi there,
I accidentally flashed (inside twrp) my HTC m8 with a bootstack/modem of a different phone (39a,LG G2). I'm pretty embarrassed about it, didn't mean to do it...I thought I was following instructions to install a new rom for the m8,except I was in the wrong forum..
details: in TWRP I flashed the wrong file, then went on to install a new rom and an error appeared: this is not vs980, this device is m8wl...so I thought, what? strange....
I turned off the phone (without realizing yet what happened. Sorry, stressful couple of weeks) and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't. No matter how long I held the power button, or power and vol down. It will not go in download mode, neither detect it is plugged in to charger or a computer. Basically totally off without any response.
My question: is there any way possible to resuscitate this phone? please help me! any advice is appreciated.
before I had the m8 with s-off,rooted,with a 5.1 rom installed.
Thank you in advance!!!

You need all in one kit 2.0
M8 firmwareTWRP or probably RUU file
my choice will be firmware TWRP
you can flash it with help of All in one tool kit 2.0

No, a toolkit won't help. He needs a new phone.

thanks for the help so far guys!
Here's another funny thing. After a few attempts of plugging it in to a computer, it was recognized and it showed up in the device manager. The phones still did not turn on though. Additionally it seems that the phone is seen as an LG model (even though it's not), but I am not sure yet. I will get the HTC drivers installed,and if it doesn't work, I will try the LG drivers.
by the way, isn't there a way to flash the correct modem/bootstack with ones of those kits? i also remember from downloading the wrong LG G2 modem/bootstack that it didn't come with fastboot in it.
I will try a few things and report it back.
thanks again,

If your device doesn't light the power button but for a single flash when you try to power it on your board is toast.
If it shows up in device manager as a qusb bulk device the board is toast.

I got it to be recognized on a computer again, and windows installs a driver. The name of the device is forge hs-usb qdloader 9008.
I tried the all in one 2.0 kit, adb sideload, etc but anything I try I get a "device not found".
I think I am giving up unless someone finds a way to unbrick this kind of severe problem in the future. I also researched a bit on google, and there's a way to unbrick the LG G2 when it's seen as forge hs-usb qdloader 9008, which is known as a board unbrick. I found nothing for the HTC m8 though.
We tried all we could Thanks all for the help, it's very much appreciated! You guys are the best and this forum is awesome. I also ordered a new phone...and I will root it too

Might be completely wrong on this.
Wouldn't he be able to JTAG the appropriate boot image back onto the device?
Also, I know we had a hard brick recovery for the S3 back in the day. Worked consistently on full hard brick's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
Isn't it possible to dump a debrick image from a working device and follow the guide with that? I know the two devices are completely different, but the premise is the same.
My technical know-how isn't anywhere near your level, just thought I'd throw these ideas out there is case it hasn't been thought of yet. I'd be happy to put together a guide on how to do this if it can work on the M8.

Not likely with the nand used on this device.

Apologies if something similar has already been posted on here already. I have had a look, but can't seem to find anything.
I was trying to root my oneplus one this evening, and was following a very useful link here....
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/like-a-boss-how-to-root-your-oneplus-one.58493/
....and got to the bit that says "sudo fastboot oem unlock" - waited a minute, and the phone rebooted showing the android and 1+ logo. But before anything else happens it turns itself off, then back on again. And continues to do this indefinitely. I can get it into fastboot mode, but not recovery. When it is in fastboot mode the pc doesn't recognise it. Something obviously isn't right, but I'm not sure what. I'm guessing something is possibly corrupt.
What I think I need to do is firstly, get the pc to recognise the phone somehow. Secondly, install a recovery on to it and thirdly, flash a rom. I've been scratching my head all night trying to work out how to get the phone recognised, and Googling like a teenager who's just discovered porn is available on the Internet.
Is there anybody out there who is familiar with Linux who can possibly walk me through what I need to get my phone working again?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for any help that may be offered.
