If you updated to v21y with kdz updater then use the same method that worked for you but select the v21e kdz file for use.
Get the v21e kdz file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24599112

thank you Core memory
Done in 5 minutes ,
Back to ICS

Flashing v21E from 21Y did not work for me. told me that I was up to date. Had to flash using "KDZ_FW_UPD" and make sure you flash using windows xp and not xp mode for windows 7. which failed for me but may work for you.

i flashed on windows 7 32 bit,
not a single problem

Using the update app called "KDZ_FW_UPD" it would crash every time. But using windows xp on a partition Harddisk worked fine. Windows xp mode also failed for me, when it disconnects the usb is does not reconnect it. even if i reconnect it it wont go any further.

I have tried this on windows 7, XP, even vista just to see. I have followed multiple guides and used multiple methods. I just can't get it to work and it has become an unhealthy obsession. I neeeed v21e back. Does anybody have ANY tips to get this to work beyond what's already out there?

Did it all last night on xp, just had to revert back to stock recovery... weird thing for me was it stopped and rebooted into S/W mode at least 5 times I thought I was supposed to hit launch s/w update again lol... the process took about 15 minutes total with boot time.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331 that one in particular the 2nd post is pretty much what I did, and reverted to stock recovery... it doesn't seem like it is doing anything at some points but it is just give it about 5 minutes after you here the USB connection sound thar your pc makes and with in 1 minute, it'll make the sound again... did it to me about 4 times and then it just sat there with the dll not found with something like (2006), 24 or something and the phone was rebooting I didn't even notice it was done until I actually looked at the phone. The kdz program doesn't tell you that it completed though, kinda weird. If it doesn't work the first try then try again! It worked 2nd try for me (forgot to restore stock recovery) I'm on XP if it matters.

[Q] QHSUSB_DLOAD S-Off

Ok, I'd been on the Sense 5 Rom and Elemental 6.7 for a while. Today I noticed that my phone wasn't going to sleep and was normally clocked around 1.0 Ghz no matter what it was doing. I tried changing the settings with No-frills cpu control but it didnt work. Long story short: I rebooted into recovery and reflashed the kernel to see if it would fix the problem. I used the stock elemental x settings (no overclock or undervoltage). The kernel flashed, I pressed reboot and the phone went dark... It wont cut on, holding the power button does nothing and plugging it into the computer gets me the qhsusb_dload message that I've read isnt a good thing to have. However most people who had this problem seem to have gotten it from RUU while S-On, my phone was S-Off so I'm wondering does that help my chances any, and is there anything I can do to restore my phone?

Try the unbrick evita thread. You'll need to run linux by live usb or live CD if you don't run linux. A virtual machine could work too.
If you can make it past step 3 and the partitions are intact, you can restore your phone.

I tried the unbrick evita thread but the zip is no longer posted on dropbox. I worked up to step 3 and there are some /dev/sda/ folders which I am presuming are the partitions... I can't find the unbrick_evita.zip file so if anyone has it I would really appreciate it. If I can find it on my own I'll update this thread. Thanks in advance.

There should be a bunch of partitions Like in the picture in the unbrick thread if you only have 3 or 4 or 5 then it not recoverable.

Alright guys. Seems like I'm fully bricked. Another guy on here had the same issue and said he sent it to HTC and they covered it so I called and am gonna send it in as well. *Fingers crossed* If it doesnt work then I'll probably just save up and upgrade to the one.
I know I dont post a lot here, but I do a lot of reading and you all have been super helpful. Thanks for the hard work you all put into this.

If you are in QHSUSB-DLMODE after trying to install RUU, OTA, or a custom kernel, you are pretty much done, aside from JTAG or sending it to HTC. I don't believe anybody has unbricked from any of these conditions.

You could try for years and will not recover. You require specially signed files from HTC to recover from that.
You are more than welcome to try the unbrick evita thread but if your patitions don't enumerate (step 3) there Is no way to recover without signed files from HTC. Other than jtagg ofcourse.

[Q] Can I flash a recovery from Terminal Emulator?

For some reason I can't get my PC to recognize my device in fastboot. I remember flashing a recovery from the terminal emulator once but I don't remember how I did it.

If you are running Win 8 or 8.1 it won't, use a Win 7 PC. The command was "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" what did you flash TWRP or CWM?

@philohtc
He isn't talking about fastboot. He's taking about flashing it from terminal emulator directly from the phone.
@nickfury27
I'm not sure if you can but you can use a couple of apps to flash recovery. They're called Recovery Tools, and Flash Image GUI.

Short answer is YES.
However, if you don't know what you are doing, you can render your phone useless. You would have to manually mount the recovery block, dd, and set permissions manually. If you screw it up, you'll have an expensive paper weight.
My advice, take timmaaa's advice.

It probably is best to post the results here, that way all users can benefit from it. I try not to assist via PM as the solution isn't able to be seen by other members who might have the same question. Just make sure you put a disclaimer on it.

Sneakin' the update

Currently stock unrooted 4.1.2 for some tests. When I odin'ed back to 4.0.4, I went to settings, about phone, system updates: check for updates and it popped up per usual saying I had an update. I said yes and it preceeded to download. When it had finished it asked another pop up asked to update with the freshly downloaded software. Where does that downloaded software get stored? I wanted to download the new 4.3 system update so I could copy it to my computer and get to investigating but after I download it, I do NOT want to update my phone with it. Wary of anything to do with it because it has locked down and bricked a lot of peoples devices now. Links, pointers, suggestions and all greatly appreciated. Just saw some of the members discussing the dwv blocks which turned me on to this idea.

OTA updates save to /Cache/FOTA after they are downloaded. Btw, we have two 4.3 threads in the General section devoted to our latest OTA. One is titled 4.3 discussion thread and the other is titled along the lines of "4.3 is arriving in October." Both have plenty of discussion going on and are your best bet on following progress on the 4.3 OTA.

Thank you! I've actually been following both of the threads to the letter but this side project of mine is more of a personal nature. If things prove conclusive then I will report findings. Need to take a gander at the low-level code written in C.

@SlimSnoopOS
Do you know if it is safe to check for update, when it says there is one for 4.3, download it and when it is finished downloading, adb pull it onto computer and never select install?

Excluding the ADB part, that's what I did lol I switched to my rooted VRBMF1 rom and did so. OTAs are a two step process. First, it asks if you want to download the update and then once it downloads you'll receive another popup asking if you want to install it at which point you can select Later or Install now. If you stay on stock though, and if you move that update.zip from /Cache, it will repeatedly ask you later to download again so freeze/rename system app "sdm 1.0" if you don't want it to autoinstall if you're asleep or away for too long.

Trouble updating to 4.4.3

Hi Guy, and thanks for a lovely forum.
I'm currently running 4.4.2 on my Nexus 5 rooted and with Exposed Installer and GravityBox[KK] (which has a modify kernel for the Exposed installer). I want to install the new OTA-update (4.4.3) but the installation always get aborted (unexpected counting) or something. Dose The EI and GB[KK] interfere with the update process or by the modify kernel or both?
Do I need to uninstall EI and GB[KK], unroot the Nexus 5? In that case, how? Or do a factory reset or di I need to install totally back to stock 4.4.3?
I'm running a Mac (the only computer i own, and I have on internet connection at home so I use my Nexus 5's 3G and use hotspot to the Mac so it's not possible to install ROM's/update via my Mac cause then I will not have an internet connection during the installation process).
Is it possible to return back to stock on my Mac? In case how?
Dose anyone know how to fix this problem or are able to help me solve this problem? All answers are appreciated. I really need to get the 4.4.3 update. It dose not matter if I need to do a full "wipe"/factory reset, I have everything backup.
//David

Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That should set up adb/fastboot that'll you'll need. Then extract the file and just double click on the flash-all.sh
