Thanks captain, nice to see a familiar face over here . Ill be joining you saturday,,,Gittin ready man,,,Thanks again,,,later,,,:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
I thought once you did any sort of unlocking your bootloader, your warranty is void anyway whether you use HTCDEV or an exploit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kpkimmel:
tested on a couple evos....if you format sd card from phone, you won't have any hang issues at all......just an FYI
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Theoretically . . . but if your device can be restored to a completely stock state, how would they know? ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
Good point, except I read in Regaw's thread from people saying that if you run the RUU it will still say "Relocked". Is that only if you use the HTCDEV method and not this one? :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That is correct . . . thus the advantage of this method :).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Echo2Lincoln:
driver version

is 2.0.7.3 the correct driver version that should show up in device manager under "My HTC"??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ph33zy:
Can you just remove the sdcard completely? I want to try this but I don't have TEP and am scurred! I'm already HTC unlocked, but it would be nice to get rid of the developer text on bootup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
I see.... :victory: Well, I may have to take a look at this method then.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
just checking. used htcdev to unlock. flashed charmeleon with it's supersu and jan's pkmn tweaks.

have win 7 64 bit with htc drivers installed.

am i good to go ? do i need to replace my build.prop ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kpkimmel:
no the sdcard is needed for the unlock, just backup to pc, format in phone and then unlock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
I guess I spoke to soon. I rebooted my device and back to temp-brick status.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
thank fcuk this post was answered cause i had the same thing. All set now, thanks guys. Btw i downloaded and ran the driver files countless times just to make sure i had them. During the process panda was looking for the driver and i was prompted to search for the drivers. No drivers found but panda kept doin it's thing until it stopped on searching for device. A lot of reboots........ windows xp, mean rom

Thanks guys:good::good:

Unbricked

I just spent 3 hours trying to unbrick this device. I had tried power button for 30 seconds. Power button+vol up +vol down for 30 seconds. Nothing worked. Prior to the "brick" I was getting corrupt sdcard messages.

Well, I removed my Otterbox Defender case, held power+vol up +vol down fior 30 seconds and phone rebooted. Still had corrupt sdcard message.

Downloaded windows drivers and s-off files -- original attempt through linux -- and fed bamboo to the panda.

Now all is good and my sdcard has all my files -- noncorrupted!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
I went to my local sprint store and unfortunately they wont replace the phone right on the spot but they ordered me a new one... Unfortunately, that means I have to walk around with a loaner blackberry until they release a fix or I get the new phone.

Screw you qusb error...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Can't believe you guys are trading out phones. Didn't they already say they have a fix they are just testing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
Hey, all. So earlier I had the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers not found during the LazyPanda method and the phone stayed black for way more than 30 seconds. Nothing I tried, no combination of button holds or presses worked, nothing. After consulting on the IRC help channel for a while, I decided to just bite the bullet and take it to my local Sprint repair store. I was just within 14 days of purchase and I have the TEP so I got a replacement phone on the spot.

I came home, let it charge for a while, rooted, and then made the leap again, but using Ubuntu this time and it worked without issue. I urge everyone to use Ubuntu. Not one issue during the whole thing. Download the Linux files from the Unlimited.io site, extract them. Open up a terminal session, navigate to the folder where the extracted files are, then type sudo ./FeedPanda and just let it do its thing.

If you are a Linux/Ubuntu newcomer, don't be afraid. Until I got my first OG Evo, I had never used Linux, but just do some Google searches and use the Wubi installer to get Ubuntu on your machine as a boot option, read up on the commands a little bit and it should be painless from there.

Good luck, everyone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
They did say that.

They did say that. i don't understand why people are just throwing there words to the trash so fast. i do hope that they release the fix as soon as possible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
Not quite... They say the issue is "Fixable and will provide support shortly." That doesn't quite imply a solution to the issue yet.

Unfortunately, shortly is not usually that short when it comes to development. Unless they release a fix before Monday, I'll be swapping my phone. Call me impatient but I just can't function with this cheap P.O.S. phone I have to use in the meantime.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awdlexusis:
thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xb1az3x:

That definitely implies a solution.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
What do you mean?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
that sucks for the unlucky folk that have problems. TBH i wouldn't have run the tool knowing that the brick was permanent.

anyways good luck to those that need help after panda mishap
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xb1az3x:
I think he is referring to the fact that the unbricking thread was abandoned but if I am not mistaken it seems that those are two different things so I'm still holding onto hope that they will have something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
PERMANENT?!?

Is the brick permanent? Are you saying the brick is permanent?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
so what your saying is that by using this tool theres a possibility of bricking "permanently" ???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah thats what im talking about. Sorry i should have clarified LOL. My replacement is coming tomorrow. Some think the obvious thing, is to wait around for a fix. i need a phone for work, so i dont have that option. Thats why i ordered a replacemtn

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Yeah there is a chance. My PC was setup just fine. ADB, SDk, Drivers and all. and i dont have a clue where i went wrong. It seems most are having luck running it with Ubuntu, so thats what im gonna try over the weekend. i just need to set it up
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xb1az3x:
I am pretty positive they are still working on the QHSUSB_DLOAD issue which is what most(all?) brick problems are, of course I could be wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
There is a chance of a temporary brick. It shouldn't be permanent as they have identified the issue and and going to release a fix soon; but yes, there is a definite chance you will at least be temporarily bricked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
i should never have said permanent just read the unbrick thread. seems to be abandoned . last post by OP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kdawg1700_1:
That's always a possibility. This was labeled "beta" software.

Having said that there were 2 threads talking about recovering from this problem One was abandoned as not possible, the other is still live but closed until the fix is ready

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Nah the fix was Patched by HTC. The Ubrick Method is gone. Bummer
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
They just patched it today? Because I watched at least 2 get successfully unbricked in #unbrick on freenode last night...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
That's kind of a **** move. Why would a company 'fix' a method that unbricks their devices? Wouldn't that prevent warranties being used, saving HTC money? This war on development is just... insane..., unless I'm missing/not understanding something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
Different types of bricks though. The un-brick tool for this issue is just still in development. They said they are releasing a fix soon.

Am I mistaken?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinky059:
Yeah, but, after all, it is a security exploit which can be dangerous so it makes sense.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xb1az3x:
I don't think that the methods were the same as part of the requirements for the QHSUSB_DLOAD fix is another sd card which is not required for the other unbrick method. That leads me to believe that they are different but really we should wait for someone from the team to respond.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Ohh see, they said it was Patched and closed the thread for good, so i figured the Method was scrapped. Im not too sure myself now. If i am, thats my bad
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
Waiting is easier said than done when my phone is currently just a very expensive paperweight.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

That was for a unbricking a phone with different issues. It is true that the method in that forum wont work, but that doesn't mean all of us in this thread have permanently bricked phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saints775:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:

They closed that thread because, if you read the whole thing, then you would see that they said that they are now working on a fix with lazypanda.

ok was stuck at black screen for 400+ seconds, buttons did nothing. unplugged USB held power and volume down, reboot. plugged in USB after ROM booted and phone rebooted to bootloader with S-Off. no idea what happened there but procedure seems to have worked. phone did do OTA activation after reboot. almost shat my pants but all seems to be well now. thank you guys for your amazing work!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Everything went well for me but part of this is we have to reflash our recovery right? At least, I seem to have no recovery in my bootloader now.

And could someone point me to a tutorial on installing a recovery? I used a oneclick method last time that did it for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
did you use the windows method???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottborasjr:
So if you do this with a blank sd card

Can you take your current sd card out, put a new formatted one in run LazyPanda, then can you replace the sd card and be ok?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
That's what I would recommend you do, because on the off chance it wipes or corrupts your SD card, it will be a blank one with no important data on it :) I wish I would have known that (although not a big deal in my case because I had a recent backup but still).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
Anyone out of brick yet?

Has anyone gotten out of the brick yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
Nope, still waiting on word from the devs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottborasjr:
Ok so here is my plan to try and run this. I'm gonna backup my 8 gb card from my og EVO, because I still use that as a wifi device. Take my 16 gb card out of the LTE put formatted in and try to run this. Will I lose S-off when I replace the sd card?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theothermillion:
Success! SD Card and Internal storage were all fine after process.

I followed directions word for word and made sure I reverted my build.prop back from the google wallet fix.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Then hold off. (Almost) everything you can do with S-OFF you can do with HTCDev, if your phone cannot run the risk of being bricked then don't do this until the issue is completely identified or at least until they release the unbrick tool.

I don't believe the thread should be closed, just a disclaimer placed on the OP because this worked perfectly for me (except for corrupting my SD card, heh). But not everyone is running into issues, if someone wants to take the dive, they should do it :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wi11ie:
Seriously... I am the most computer ignorant dude here..

I just loaded the recommended drivers after removing ALL of the drivers from other HTC stuff, removed HTCsync, installed the drivers mentioned in the OP and ran the executable... 3 minutes and several reboots later S-OFF...

I wonder if the difference was that I removed all the HTC bull**** but those drivers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gfullwr70:
I removed all HTC drivers and HTC sync before installing drivers in OP and running lazypanda and i'm bricked and i'm no noob
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
Same here. Certainly not a noob but in the same position.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I removed HTC sync but left the drivers it had installed. I also didn't install the drivers recommended in the instructions since the htcdev unlock method I used before worked I figured my drivers were correct and didn't want to mess with them. I used regaw_leinad's one click method before but had installed HTC sync to get all the necessary drivers I believe to do an RUU before that. This method worked for me and s-off was achieved quickly. I think my device had to wait maybe 35 seconds once and the other reboots were less time. I also made sure usb debugging was checked in my settings and that fastboot was off.

My computer did go through a driver install screen during this s-off method and it installed 3 of the 4 drivers it wanted to. The QHSUSB_DLOAD driver or whatever it was called was the one that failed to install (which I assume is a good thing?) The other three installed fine. Not sure why they needed to reinstall like that but since they were already on my computer from regaw_leinad's unlock method (or actually from the RUU I had done earlier I think) I figured I was good to go.

p.s. I had posted earlier about not seeing recovery in the bootloader but I didn't realize I actually had to select bootloader then press the power button before I would see the recovery option... so I think I flashed my recovery unnecessarily once i was s-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Did you guys run it as an administrator?

It may also help to see where your adb daemons are running from. To do that hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, task manager, processes, and then look for adb.exe. When you find all of them right click on them and post the path that it shows under properties.

Fixed my "bricked" phone. :)

[19:12] <ailima> Hmm I just debricked and unlocked my device. :)

[19:12] <Bsutton> How?

[19:13] <ailima> Basic technique - boot up again using power-volup-voldown technique - it takes several tries (many)

[19:14] <ailima> sometimes I hold for 20secs sometimes 30secs sometimes 45secs ... don't know what combo works but it eventually does

[19:14] <ailima> always have to wait up to a minute (edit: wait 1 minute AFTER the button combo) per try

[19:14] <ailima> when it's up, disable usb debugging

[19:14] <ailima> reformat an sdcard on the phone

[19:15] <ailima> reboot (don't know if this is necessary) - I had to do the power-volup-voldown fiasco again ... takes forever

[19:15] <ailima> plug in the phone to the comp (i'm using ubuntu) - reenable usb debugging

[19:15] <ailima> #adb devices to make sure it's working

[19:16] <ailima> then re-run #FeedPanda

[19:16] <ailima> it runs all the way through - no problem

[19:16] <ailima> back to normal - definite S-Off

[19:16] <Bsutton> windows?

[19:16] <ailima> I did, however, lose all my data. (I didn't listen when they said back up the sdcard)

[19:17] <ailima> Ubuntu - but I'm guessing the procedure will be the same

I hope you guys get some mileage out of this too. :)

btw. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and version 0.1.3 of FeedPanda

Good luck!

edit: Not sure which of these steps are absolutely necessary - but that's what worked for me in the order that it worked for me. :)
