i tried it again just now and terminal says "Success! Your phone should reboot in a few seconds. If yours doesnt, simply unplug the usb cable and hold your power button for a few seconds"

but still nothing

EDIT: i retried the manual steps everything is transferred (all the steps go through no problem) but when i get to the end when the steps say unplug USB and press power to hard reset. nothing happens. no charging light. nothing

im about ready to throw some cash to anyone who can help me unbrick
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yarrimapirate:
You may need a full recovery then.

$ sudo ./dg112.sh -r

That will reload the 1.12 HBOOT as well. I'm pretty certain than your phone will spring to life as soon as it's done with that.

Tried this yesterday for a few hours. Used a laptop with a live unbuntu12.4 cd. Seemed the computer wouldn't recognize my device consistantly enough to move forward after the brick.

I tried the manual steps along with power button to no avail. Was able to recover every single time tho thanks to pirates tool making sure that was possible.. :p

My question is should I try this on a desktop? If anything I am very fimilar with the process now but is it the laptop's USB ports that is the problem?

I feel like if I had another more experienced set of eyes on my issues it could have still been done.

Advice?

Could do with the hardware, Ubuntu support for laptops and mobile isn't the best. Some laptops have only one real port and is setup like a hub to provide more usb ports. To see the ports and if they are even recognized open a terminal and type lsusb, it should list them and once you plug the phone in it should recognize the phone as well
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
Yes the laptop I'm using has 2 ports on the side. The beginning process of the tool works to the brick. After that it can't find device no matter what I do with the power button.

I was still using it to get there then I would kill script and run manual steps from 11.

In theory could I just open another terminal window. Reload drivers/probe? I can always seen to get it to qcserial usb again. If I still had the tool script running would it pick back up?

Sorry for not using the full command lines in my post but I'm at work and trying to gather some info before I go home and try again. No one seems to be available for support when its late my time zone.

While the script is waiting I suppose you could reload. I mentioned it in another post but buffer speed and bus speed can affect the timing, is this a fairly recent laptop?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
If you could include the last few lines of output from the script, that would help us narrow it down to what the problem is. Although it sounds like the same timing problem that most ppl are experiencing. I know yarrimapirate is trying to improve that part of the process. It's tricky because of the short window of time. Don't forget, this tool is still in beta, so not everything is quite perfect yet :)

Dude that was so easy ty so much i will stress that i have no linux exp.. just a couple of years ago trying a live cd of 10. something and it was a brief thing back then....till i saw this was i brave enough to take a old useless laptop install 12.4 then download your stuff extracted it to the same name directory drag that to the home folder, setup phone debug etc. connect open a terminal through the search (had to change the font color as i could not see it in the terminal window, did this in settings made the backround a bright yellow lol but hey it worked) then typed cd followed by a space then just dragged the folder(extracted one) that was in the home folder....it setup the path i needed the followed original instructions 1 thru 9(happydance) in the op....had the occasional freeze while it did its thing the way i was able to tell it freezed it would stop and the cursor would stop blinking gave it a few then just held the power button for approx 20 seconds then let go it would then start up again. did this about ten times maybe...finally it went thru with everything else and red light turned on then it booted on its own ...didnt lose my boostmobile flash only 3g data but that was rooting fault didnt fix it 3g till i did this process.... otherwise it did not change a thing flash wise made a call no error 16 for boostmobile flashed phones....but rooting it beforehand broke my 3g(keep in mind for people that dont know how to manually fix 3g on flashed phones rooting can break your 3g) Im sure this process does not break any flashed info as my meid, nam, etc was intact....

Like i said thankyou op your efforts making this as painless as possible......now to figure out the panda thingy =)

this thread works and all the great members who help each other out

**update so did the panda thing but before hand had to use freshrom so lazypanda would work that did its thing then phone booted up and my device was s-off but boostmobile flash gone completely....

had to reflash it again all of it....no biggie took an additional ten minutes to get that worked out with working calls,text,data,mms etc. so just a word of caution to people that have another carrier flashed on the device more than likely you will lose the flash as lazypanda reverts to all the original credentials....so if you did the flash yourself no biggie do it again but for those who paid a second party i imagine you will have to get that done again.....

overall this was wicked fun! stress level was ridiculous but fun....now on to sum custom stuff....yea baby to the pirate big ups!

Don't forget to take some bamboo as a peace offering otherwise the panda gets cranky :P
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
Edit* most important. I was not receiving calls or texts after I soff'd. Phone showed data but when I tried to make a call today I got an error 16 from sprint which I read is some kind of hacker prevention. Not sure if its happening to others but if u stay on the line afterward the message a sprint rep will fix it. :p

Agreed. But I can't say I don't like the look and features of some of the bloat. For example nothing beats a sense widget imo.

For everyday life and business windows is simply more compatable with most things. Only reason I personally went back from Linux Mint.

After jumping back into unbuntu (its been awhile) hacking, modding an android device seemed to go much smoother (after I switched USB cables :D) and I remember now how pumped I used to get pulling off things like this in a terminal.

Bottom line dual boot is a great option if you have your own computer. Or have a live cd handy for tools like this, lazypanda unbricker, ect. I would def reccomend any EVO LTE owner do this plus also familiarize them selves with linux. Our devs make awesome tools that make things easy for us, but do your part too by learning/reading a bit. :D

Side note* Should have seen my roommate's face when he saw me running pirates tool from an unbuntu live cd on his laptop. "What you do to my computer!?"

Relax bro, its a live cd.

A horse with lipstick is still Sarah Jessica Parker lol. Anyway, I still thank the backtrack and knoppix teams for their first implementations of live distros. Without those guys it probably would have taken much much longer

I have a friend who built his own studio (with my help) that would beg to differ, all the desktops, servers, and laptops in the building are linux and they all run free open source software. They do all their track sessions, music videos, and promotions through Ubuntu with a few kernel optimizations for better all around realtime performance

As much as this pains me to say this but the best software, studio setup is...uck a Mac with Apple's Logic Pro 9 series. My entire family has been doing music ever since I can remember and nothing I've ever seen (sadly) compares to the quality those setups produce. It's the industry standard across multiple genres.

Believe me I love open source to death and I preach it everyday but in some cases it does not compare to paid software.

I must say i've been very happy to see open source software grow to where it is today. With big companies like google releasing open source software that's also superior to the competition (android vs IOS) I can only see more progress for open source in the future.

Plus us open source users tend to be smarter then the average main stream user. They have no idea how shady a company like apple is when they buy their devices. Or that there buying the same damn phone over and over again with little to no innovation. So sad :p

We on the other hand have the ability/knowledge to buy a strong device such as the EVO LTE and just upgrade the software/OS's for 2 years till we can upgrade to the next latest and greatest:D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
I did it last night using a live cd on a windows 7 laptop. It's not the best way but I eventually got it to work

*my advice*

Make sure you download the unbuntu 12.4 version.

Make sure your USB cable is good. Not too much wear and tear. This ended up being what was my problem. Switched cables on my 3rd try finally worked.

Open up Firefox when your in unbuntu and have a tab open with the op from this thread and also the manual instructions incase u need it.

Theres a lot of good help and info in this thread. Before u freak out if something doesn't go right, copy, paste, and search what the tool is telling you. Odds are its been covered and a solution was found.

Don't freak out if its not working or if you feel that you did something wrong. Pirate made this tool very good and its pretty forgiving. I tried the manual steps after my phone couldn't be found after soft brick and I was :beer:ing . I was totally reckless with my commands, thought I was a goner, but the ubrick command brought me back.

Don't try it drinking :o

Download Fresh 5.1.1 and put it on your SD in advance. Nan, Wipe, flash it after you complete this and have hboot1.12. (Pandas like fresh bamboo:D)

Download lazy panda for Linux. Might as well preform lazy panda soff while your in linux. Works wayy cleaner imo. Plus if for some reason it bricks the unbricker is exclusive to linux.

Lastly, try making a call when its all said and done. If you get error 16 from sprint, don't hang up. A rep will answer and fix that in 2-3 mins no questions asked besides phone type, name, number. This is what I had to do.

I hope this helps you or others. I'm too broke to donate but I figured I could atleast give feedback to help.

For gaining su in adb shell do I need to push the su files onto the phone, or is there a command for doing so?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chimstar:
on the error 16

sprint users this is a easy process stay on phone and chat with them

for boostmobile users its a bit tricky explaining to them, i actually never connect to them i hang up and call boostmobile from another phone and have them refresh the account...not reset just refresh give em your phone number pin and phone type(not evo lte obviously) and ask them to please fresh the account your phone should work with no problem...this could happen after you do everything after reflashing after s-0ff...just a heads up.....

another way if the tech at sprint/boost has issues getting it to work(trust me it happens) is to simply log on to your account and swap another phone on your account and swap you phone back in this method works as well done it a few times....then a profile update fixes any 3g issues for sprint if its not working or stuck on 1xrtt for boost just do data flash (aaa passwords) and you should be set....good luck guys!

Anyone know how to force brick with relocked bootloader?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
Ok, need some more info...

./adb reboot recovery

- When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? Do you get an error?

Lazypanda unbricker

- You shouldn't need that for anything EXCEPT a rare case while running lazypanda. It's a very specific tool for only 1 issue.

./adb shell su

- When (at or after what steps) are you getting this? Also, was you phone rooted, dev unlocked, and had Twrp installed before tou tried this?

Also, what linux distro and version are you using?

Also, if you ran the script, how far did it get and were there any errors?

-SLS-

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Probably not. EMMC_recover uses a kernel module to communicate with the device. Since mac's are based on unix it would depend on a similar driver being present and a program similar to EMMC_recover that can interact with that driver.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bartcrusades:
In reply to Soul Shadow, the phone came unplugged and it seems my HBOOT was erased and recovery is unreachable. As for the phone stuff, I was HTCDev unlocked and had twrp installed.

The adb recovery just turns the phone off and I then need about a minute to get it back on. Holding the vol- button and power does nothing.

Shell SU just gives me a line saying su can't be found.

I would have said hold on for just a little bit longer, but I know that you've been waiting a while now. I'm sorry. To everyone that's been waiting, I apologize. It's been a semi-rough last couple of weeks. I've been writing, adapting, and testing for hours (I have people that can vouch for that) while coming across new (tiny) issue after the next. Again. There will be a live CD. I have a new test version almost ready. I'd like to do a runthrough with one of my testers (who's run through this several times) and see how things are working before I even consider posting.

The fact that there's been promises, but no delivery by myself frustrates me to no end. Yes. Little tiny bits of my code have made it into yarr's tool, and I am happy about that, but I want to get the Live CD out to users.

I do want to make this right. I'm not the kind of person that will sit and lie about progress. It's not who I am, and not what I do. I also am the kind of person that tries to release something that I would be proud of.

Thank you all,
