This won't work with HTC devices...

Unfortunately.

Sent from the brick
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
Has there been a confirmation? Touchpads and Samsungs on 8660 have been fixed with this method.
[HTC Sensation] tpaxadpom:
Did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.1. Same problem, cannot detect device. That sucks.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Yup. Tested.. and failed
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
I believe there is still some work left to be done, as the method is not final.
[HTC Sensation] damfanzang:
Hi, is there any version to do with HTC Desire GSM?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Nope. Entrirely different chipset. It won't work there
[HTC Sensation] tpaxadpom:
I managed to bring my unit back to life. I've tried everything but I wasn't able to discover my device with Linux box. I no longer have rework access to BGA rework station, so I've used heat gun method (normally wouldn't recommend it as there are way to many 0201 components that will flow all over the place). No go.

I have tried wire jump method and shorted two pins(one at a time) to ground (SD card shield) and then shorted the two pins with paper clip for quite some time with the battery on, then connected to Windows XP 32bit with not battery, SD, SIM and noticed the device wasn't discovered. Disconnected put the battery back in, powered on and booted normaly with Elegancia ROM. I hope it continues to work and I don't have to use my backup Sensation.

It looks like my unit was stuck in DLOAD mode and hboot was totally fine as I haven't recoved it, unless HTC made a backdoor.
[HTC Sensation] kyle_engineer:
Does this work for the Doubleshot?

I'm curious if this would be the right method for unbricking a doubleshot. I'm not sure my device is bricked, cause the battery died, and apparently CWM won't allow it to charge if it's off. :'( So I still have to find out, but that won't happen until my extra batteries & charger arrive... Anyway, just checking.

-Thanks

Hi All,

It's come to my attention that not all the hexloaders are the same for the 8660, ive seen different behavior in the wild from the two different loaders i have,

I've attached them in case anyone want to try. I renamed them based on the strings found inside, each one has a different build.

Also it seems that the SBL1 of the loader can be jammed and then controled more than we knew, the emmcrecover tool only make a small amount of use of this loader, and it's triggered on every boot, not just when the bootloaders fail. I am trying to get my hands on the proof and copies of the loaders source via a contact in china.

Also in the spirit of sharing, i've also attached a few tools for digging into the partitions, any one who has used util-linux or util-linux-ng will know the tools, all i've done is compiled them statically for arm (arm5 but runs on arm5 to 11).

I hope this will further the work done here.

I suggest all users who have a copy of the various hex files floating around just run the linux command strings on the file and note it's build details

example below

darkspr1te@devbox:~/Downloads/Samsung/hexloaders$ strings M8660AAABQNLGM313142-EMMCBLD.HEX | grep "jos_bus\.c"

*D:\Builds\M8660AAABQNLGM313142\modem_proc\core\wiredconnectivity\hsusb\core\src\jos\jos_bus.c

the tools i've included are

lsblk

sfdisk

partx

blkid

I've found these tools to be very handy in my current work, sfdisk most of all, in my debrick system it's able to create a complete partition table on the device while in SD card mode (8660_msmimage) from a previous copy, I dd's null over the entire partition beforehand so that now partition table info was left.

a quick

cat part-e160l-.txt | sfdisk /dev/sdb

and i had my partition, no messing with partition0.bin or the like.

/offtopic

I am also currently working on a program that will grab copies of the table, loaders (currently only samsung with root) but i hope to expand that support and include a export to QPST option as I have almost nailed down the .xml format (key is the partition name assigns it's type, not it's LABEL)

But first, I have to finish learning Java and my Pascal/COBOL background keeps getting in the way.

QHSUSB_DLOAD in HTC Sensation.

For some reason, my device is not in the script brickdetect.sh, get the message: "Device can't be detected. Check connections"/ All transactions are made in ubuntu 11 (x32).
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
is your device in one of the supported brick types?

ubuntu 11.x is known to cause issues. Boot a 12.04 or later liveCD
[HTC Sensation] :
preinfo: QHSUSB_DLOAD was detected in windows / device manager. it was a S-OFF bootloader.

the problem: the sh script did not recognize it. using ubuntu 12.04 lts with latest patches + all spftware (drivers etc) installed on hard drive.

i'll have to send it to the support and hope...or?

/ why bricked it?

i was using it today to listen to music. boom. froze and did not get on afterwards. and it was hot as hell. it was PERFECTLY working before. i have the z720e - i am using the same kernel on my evo 3d - and it works.

When i put the battery out of it (it was powered off) and put it into my evo 3d, there were only 4% remaining (from 89% as the sensation bricked -- ANKER 1900mAh power pack) - so maybe it's a hardware defect...
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
that pretty much describes a hardware failure
[HTC Sensation] :
ok thanks. i'm just a bit unsure as windows detect the qualcomm device...maybe the usb goes directly to the processor/is controlled directly by the processor...
[HTC Sensation] musicstashall:
Thank you, Mr. dexter93.

I'm on the HTC Sensation flashed this thing htc-data2sd-ext3.zip, with which I am on HTC WildFire increasing domestic memory phone by card. Can I fix this defect now?

Sorry for bad english:o
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
you flashed something for another device. The Wildfire and the Sensation have very different partition structure. You just nuked your phone. RMA it or JTAG it
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
The QDLOAD is a generic failback mode.. it means that it can't boot, either from sw or hw issue. Yours seems like it's hw
[HTC Sensation] musicstashall:
I hope the service center will not know that I've done with my phone? Device has a warranty :cowboy:

go to sensation xl forum and ask for your issue
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
I'll update the packages with 1.29 hboots soon. Missed that

different chipset, so no.
[HTC Sensation] carbonmeteor:
Thank you very much, my machine is unbricked now. It is in Bootloader Page...

I am seeking a best means to flash the RUU...

Any Suggestions or tutorials plz ?

I tried this RUU "RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_TW_1.35.709.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198188_signed"

But it gives a error message: 133 Customer ID incorrect.

The phone cannot be detected by ADB anymore, maybe the USB Debug is off.

How can I flash the RUU in it?

P.S. : I remember that the CID of my phone..maybe 044
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
maybe this work for you

[HTC Sensation] carbonmeteor:
However my HBoot version is 1.27, should I use latest RUU (3.32)rather than 1.35 with older Hboot?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
from your previous post i assume you are S-ON

if yes then you have to use the latest one.actually not necessary the latest one but the appropriate one

the link i sent you might not work
[HTC Sensation] carbonmeteor:
As your expectation, it really doesn't work~~ Oops..

It gives another error message, 140 BOOTLOADER VERSON ERROR

It means that I should try 3.32 RUU ?

The machine is :

3.32 is work!!!:good:

Now it becomes stock / Thank you
[HTC Sensation] tpaxadpom:
The problem came back on my phone. This time it happened when I was at work, I didn't reflashed the phone or anything. I knew it was a hardware problem. I took it to the lab and reheated SMT components (Radio, Qualcom chip and a few others) with the heat gun. Let it cool down and assembled it back. Phone booted up with no problem. Something to consider if you phone screen just went blank (no reflash rooting involved) and failed to boot into bootloader.

bricking HTC EVO 3D

Hi, I've been trying real hard to find an answer for breaking the HTC EVO 3D that doesn't boot since attempting to S-off and stuck on QSUSB thing.

I've tried it all and even this didn't work..

I haven't seen a specific download for evo 3d, even on that section it's called pyramid!?

Any suggestions?

my device does not get recognized in ubuntu 12.04. I went to unlimited.io and downloaded that program and didn't work either.

any help appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] dralibak:
emmc not seen by linux.

I think linux 12.04 is not even picking on the emmc of htc evo 3d as nothing's recognized. maybe I had s-off during the downgrade of bootloader and i'm stuck in qsusb mode.

I really find it difficult to do / or go to someone/ for this JTAG thing .. plus it may be costly for me.

I wish there was a way of somehow get the phone to be recognized by linux or windows 8 (64-bit) i Have dual boot going.

Any help is really appreciated.

All the fixes in xda .. confusing I don't know which is exactly for htc evo 3d?

As far as I know, the Evo 3D and Inc S have no relation, unless I'm missing something. Personally, I've given up on restoring my Inc S since nobody appears to be capable of fixing it. Funny thing was I almost bought the Sensation instead.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:

Also, did you disable automount and remove battery, SIM & SD card before running brickdetect?
[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
It wasn't bricked in the end, the PCB at the top with the on/off switch and cameras was fried, I replaced it and it booted fine. I could see it as a HTC modem just because it was alive but couldn't boot.

I am having problems with detecting my device (HTC Sensation). It keeps giving me the same message all the time and i do not know what to do anymore. I read thoroughly previous posts but none is working for me. Please help....

./brickdetect.sh

Searching for bricked device...

Device can't be detected. Check connections
[HTC Sensation] cajunflavoredbob:
Alright, I'm not sure if mine is repairable or not, but I'm posting to make sure I've covered as much as I can on my own.

My device is a T-Mobile Sensation 4G (Pyramid). It bricked while in recovery flashing a ROM through TWRP. I don't remember if it was flashing the ROM or gapps, but the screen went black and showed up as QHSUSB_DLOAD on my laptop when I plugged it in.

After doing some research and reading this thread, I booted into Linux Mint 14 x64 MATE and tried out the instructions from the OP with no success. It would not detect my device.

I then decided to burn a live CD of Ubuntu 12.04 x86 and followed the instructions exactly as it was in the video. It yielded the same results.

I've made certain that automount was off in both cases.

EDIT: Nevermind all of the above. I missed the line in the OP that said it was for S-On flash failures only. My mistake.
[HTC Sensation] janitux:

hang on i just seen that your phones stuck at boot animation :S if it is booting up then its NOT bricked and you can flash a RUU and it will go back to stock. all you need to do is take battery out put it back in hold volume down and power till it takes you to bootloader. Once in bootloader select fastboot and plug it in then run the RUU file and let it update. once thats done flash recovery and restore a nandroid backup and your done mate :)no point sending it away if its booting up or stuck at bootanimation mate just a waste of cash
