[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StrummingLevi:
Bingo!

I figured out that where all of the problems came from. The boot.img I was using was from decks rom for my old Evo 4g (smacks hand on forehead). All is well that ends well. Thanks for the help guys I can't thank you enough.

Cause my device dead boot now...

Today try hold power for like 30 seconds but no response.... it says " not connection"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
Ok, Bad News time :(

After further investigation and some help from other developers, it appears our miracle (the mprg8960.hex) is NOT loading on MSM8960 based phones (including this one). Without the help of that file, we are once again limited to only repairing devices which connect and enumerate their partitions.

If your phone is connecting to your computer as a Qualcomm Gobi (QDL) device with vid/pid 05c6:9008 and NOT showing it's partitions (/dev/sda1 - /dev/sda36) then there is nothing that can be done at this time.

Myself and other developers will continue to explore other possible ways to fix these devices, but as of right now there is nothing that can be done.

My apologies to everyone who has been waiting patiently. Unfortunately we can only work with what Qualcomm and HTC have incorporated into the design and manufacturing of these devices. While they are essentially unbrickable by design, the means to a software based recovery has been disallowed. JTAG appears to be the only currently available method to unbrick these devices.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Thanks for trying. Maybe there's still hope for the future. I know if it was possible, it would have helped me the time I bricked mine by accidentally applying an old firmware file (the old downgrade brick). I learned my lesson on that one but I can confirm that a downgrade brick is, as above, not unbrickable. It only showed the Qualcomm QDL and no partitions. Oh well... I didn't feel bad at all getting a replacement under the insurance because there's no way that downgrading firmware should cause an irrecoverable brick! They should have at least made the bootloader smart enough to not load firmware lower than what you currently have if doing so is going to brick it.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
Actually, it was probably because of the rollback prevention that caused you to get stuck in QDL mode. If HTC allowed us, 99% of all these "bricks" could be fixed using the mprg8960.hex. Instead they lock down the phones and leave us with a BS 'htcdev unlock' mechanism which is barely a half step. They are actually increasing the possibility of a bricked device, which is costing them more money by constantly replacing customer phones.

-SLS-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Amen! Add to that their lousy s-on unlocker and their failure to release kernel source in a timely fashion... and this will probably be my last HTC phone.

Well, PSP, I just saw this and soulshadows last post. I was just thinking I could loan you my OG Evo for the estimated week or 2, so you wouldn't have to spend for a new device. But, in light of SS's last post, looks like you're in for a replacement :( sorry.

Soul_shadow, thanks for all the effort you've put into this. :thumbup:

Agreed. And it's sad, cuz I've always been impressed with their hardware. But, moto makes pretty nice hardware, too. Solid, at least, not plastic. Maybe after Google's purchase of moto, we'll see the moto X before long and not have motos awful UI.

brick trying to upload newest firmware

I was trying to upload the newest firmware: PJ75IMG_Jewel_3.16.651.3_Firmware.zip via bootloader. Everything went fine but when I went to reboot the phone is not responsive. When I plug it in, there is no charging indicator light either. I have tried holding power and volume down for 15 - 30 sec but get no response. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tripp-phpBB:
Sounds like it's bricked.

Thanks Soul Shadow and others for all the work and time you've put in trying to help us. Kind of sad that this is the conclusion but you tried on other people's behalf and I can't thank you enough.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction from here:

I bought my EVO off Craigslist for $230 and flashed it to Boost Mobile. So I'm not with Sprint in anyway so as far as I know, I can't take it to them even if it were a "defected" phone. Am I correct?

HTC told me the warranty is void since I bought it off Craigslist because they have no idea what the previous own had done with it. They said I could send it in and they'd take a look at it. If it falls outside of them covering it, it would cost around $140 to fix it and if I didn't want to pay they would send it back for free. I'm pretty sure if I sent it in they'll try to charge me and at $140, it's not worth it because that's well over half of what I payed for the phone.

Then there's the site I mentioned previously, MobileTechVideos. They say they can JTAG this phone and repair it. But I tried e-mailing them as well as sent a message to the guy who runs the site on here and never heard anything back at all, and this was well over a month ago. So I'm a bit skeptical of them now but I've read a lot of positive reviews so does anyone have any experience with them? Any reason why they wouldn't e-mail/message me back?

If all else fails, the guy who sold me my Galaxy S2 said he would buy my EVO for parts so I guess I could recoup a few dollars but I'd rather fix it because it was a really awesome phone.

Thanks again to everyone who has tried to help us unbrick our phones, your time and effort is greatly appreciated!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aloupha:
I have the same problem with precplac1.

Every method I try to unbrick the phone fails because it is not be recognized by the computer.

Any suggestion on what else we could try?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuses:
There is no "rollback prevention" on S-OFF phones. Every restrictive feature is gone when device is S-OFF'ed. Thats why people should turn device to S-OFF (and keep it that way) when someone releases S-OFF exploit. S-OFF actually prevents bricking device in some cases and makes things easier (and allows lots of other things) :good:

btw, emergency download-mode is locked, that's why MPRG-images cannot be loaded in to the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pspunderground:
Ah, oh well. Time to search for someone with a Riffbox.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
You bricked the phone again?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
And what, may I ask, is a riffbox?

(Yes, I will Google it, too)

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Scott,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pspunderground:
Nah, still the same bricked phone, I bought the GNex while I waited. I just want the pics saved on the internal memory.

That's the one. I have the files, just not the actual box. I'm hoping it doesn't format the internal storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
I'm pretty sure it would, though its worth a try I suppose
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
Actually, there IS rollback detection/prevention. HTC has it in hboot for s-on flashing compared to the currently (or newest) installed baseband. S-Off disables HTC's rollback prevention.

However, there is also a rollback prevention feature built in to the secure boot loaders (pbl, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3) checked at run time. It ONLY applies to the secure bootloaders. Typically you'd never see this feature in action, except when you flash a firmware zip with the secure bootloaders (sbl1-3, rpm, tz). It will flash fine, but when you reboot it will check the version, throw a rollback error, and switch to download mode. Depending which stages of the boot process succeeded, you may or may not end up with access to the emmc partitions.

That is why I suggest that firmware zips should not contain the secure bootloader files (sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, rpm, tz) in addition to the usual exclusion of hboot, recovery, boot and system.

And yes, I agree, everyone should s-off and STAY s-off.

As for ehostdl, testing has shown that it is enabled, however the OEM's have also enabled (via qfuse) the security, so the mprg8960.hex is required to have the same OEM signature as other firmware. The one available on XDA is not signed, which is why it isn't working.

Fuses: if you'd like greater details, pm me. I won't clog up this thread with something that technical.

-SLS-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] E:V:A:
Just, to emphasize what you say, "people" can look at the picture in THIS post. There you will find a QFPROM (Qfuse) area called "OEM Anti-Replay". This is just one way that can keep you from rolling back. (Source code for tools needed to read Qfuses are available from links throughout that thread.) If I recall right, from discussions in the HOXL thread, that Qfuse tools are incorporated into HBOOT.

EDIT: Then on page 23-24 of THIS JEDEC eMMC presentation you can read about "Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB)"...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] japclev:
I am and have been s-off prior to bricking by accidental firmware downgrade... Can I fix? A yes or no is good enough.. If yes will read more.. If no will replace?

Tia
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
It depends. If you are able to access the emmc partitions under linux, then there's a good chance. If not then there is currently no known methed (except for jtag, which requires special hardware and additional knowledge).

If you can access the emmc partitions, post here or pm me before trying to do anything. There is no universal way to fix things, it will require some customized steps depending where the problem lies and what firmware was previously loaded.

-SLS-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuses:
What firmware package you used to do downgrade?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] japclev:
Sorry for slow reply... Without phone right now

If I can't do virtual Linux I'm screwed because I'm not versed in non windows Linux...

Went from I believe 3.16 firmware backwards to 1.22...

No biggeee if can't do.. Just wanted to know how far to push it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuses:
Yes, but can you give a link to that package what you used.

Downgrading won't brick phone if everything is ok.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] japclev:
I believe progression went from

Started at urevo ROM 2.13 firm 1.22... To flashing new stock odex ROM 3.16.651.3 and then 3.15 firm ... Back to urevo ROM and flashing 1.22.651.3 firm back over that..

Super dumb...

I got ROMs from here and firmware from mikmik site...

Going to sprint today but if it helps someone else I'm good... So if you need more specifics I can do more
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I believe fuses is asking you to upload the specific FW package you used.

Sorry about your Evo. :(

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
Translation: the "mikmik site" would most likely be the firmware packages created by Captain_Throwback.

I'd have to look through the firmware zip's to be sure, but there's probably something that was upgraded with the newer firmware that is missing from the older firmware. Certain firmware can't be mixed together. But that's just a guess based on your limited description.

-SLS-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] japclev:
Thanks for sympathy and responses.. Soul is correct on translation and saves us time... In my limited opinion totally agree with it happening when dropping from those two firmwares and I did not listen to what was a posted warning...

On positive note remembering how fun my evo3d back up is!

Good luck on unbrick project!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] curiousGeorge:
I bricked mine by flashing "PJ75IMG_Jewel_3.16.651.3_Firmware". It completed successfully but when it finished it turned off, never to turn on again. Now it is stuck in QHUSB_DLOAD (I think -- absolutely ZERO signs of life on the phone itself, and the ONLY indication anything is there is the presence of the Qualcomm, Inc Gobi Modem entry in lsusb). Will this tool do anything to help it pop back to life after the failed firmware flash?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No, it most likely won't. I'm curious to know where you got that file from. That's an older file which is how several devices were bricked before. My thread no longer has that file, and I updated the link in the Wiki too. If there's somewhere else I need to update to prevent people from bricking, I need to know.

Stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD?

Get the RacunHunter!

Support for DirtyRacun is on IRC channel #unlimited on freenode. If you do not have an IRC client you can use the link below.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] curiousGeorge:
It was linked and mentioned a number of times from the MeanBean thread as well as themikmik. It was presented as the latest firmware without the touch-panel drivers. I am looking again and I see this firmware in a number of threads, but the zip files in some of them contain the word "extended" which mine did not contain.

I actually downloaded this file a few weeks ago and used it successfully on another LTE device without issue when it was the recommended download without problems.

Is there a known way to recover from this situation?

[edit]

It seems that if the partitions aren't enumerated in Linux, there's no known method of recovering from a failed firmware flash/downgrade. This is the case for me. The only solution is JTAG repair. Some people like MTV do it for $60. Does HTC offer warranty replacement?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ak074:
sorry but no. htc's warranty is for repair only.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SouL Shadow:
RacunHunter is ONLY for fixing a brick during the use of DirtyRacun. It won't fix anything else.

QHSUSB_DLOAD is not unique to dirtyracun. It stands for Qualcomm High Speed Universal Serial Bus Download. It's a feature built in to all Qualcomm chipsets. However it's usage can be, and usually is, restricted by the OEM (for "security" reasons). It's because of this security that we are so limited in our ability to unbrick this phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jclendineng:

My bricked evo 4g lte

First and foremost I would like to thank the devs for their relentless hard work and experimentation to try to figure out a panacea for our bricked htc evo 4g lte. Thank you!!!!

My phone is S-off hboot 1.19 using 3.15 firm TWRP 2.3.1 Mean Bean ROM.

I was on a phone call and the it dropped the call then turned itself off. I tried the extended hold of the power button, the power and vol down and even the three finger salute (power, vol down and camera button}. Since this did not alleviate the problem I went so far as to change the battery thinking maybe it simply lived out its useful life. BTW I only use OEM wires and chargers. I was on the charger when the phone died during the call.

Since I did not get resolution to my problem I read and tried RacunHunter, QHSUSB_DLOAD fix, Jet, Emmc_Recover as you might have guessed it could not find the device...check connections. I read your entire Thread and again was impressed with the knowledge of the devs here and learned so much from all of your comments and insights. I have included the lsusb and dmesg in an attached file so as to not clog up the thread.

Any help, if possible, would be greatly appreciated. If however, sending it off to get it JTag is the only solution the so be it. You are my last resort.

Thanks again and sorry for the long post.

[Galaxy Note II General] robotnikz:
Hi guys.

The only reason for me to root my gn2 is that i can freeze unused apps with titanium backup..

Do you notice any differences in battery life when doing so?

And do you have some tipps for increasing? Omega rom oder revo rom better than stock.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II General] Yrcimim:
You mean by rooting, freezing or both ?

I can share you my perspective. I used my N7100 for 2 weeks now with stock ROM and I can honestly say that IMHO this is the first Android phone that does not really need rooting. Only Nova instead of TouchWiz makes it just right. It's only for the sake of CallRecorder that I wanted to try out that I needed to root the phone.

I have it rooted now for a couple of days and can't feel any difference in battery life. YMMV though. I didn't freeze anything (yet...) :)
[Galaxy Note II General] robotnikz:
Thanks for your answer.

I mean the battery life if unfreezing unused apps.

My note runs awesome and im not sure if it would runs better :)

But you said what i think. At the moment theres no need to root for me.

:beer:
[Galaxy Note II General] Goodm7sn:
U can already freeze apps on stock with no root required (it's an android feature since ics).just got to apps manager and disable the apps u want to freeze.

I have most of the boat frozen, and im not rooted, don't think I need to in the mean time.

I have a branded o2 Htc One x, can I just flash it with a ruu file from a genric model or do I have to still unlock the bootloader ect?

I don't really want to ruin the warranty.

Flashing a s3 was easy but seems alot more when it comes to this handset and so many threads and not sure which to follow.

Help!!
[HTC One X] seanicca:
you need S-off to flash any ruu, if you unlock the bootloader, flash CWM you can flash a custom rom or just delete all the o2 bloatware but it'll still have the o2 CID
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
You dont need s-off to flash any ruu maybe to debrand the phone but not any
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You need S-Off to get super CID to flash an RUU with a CID that does not match the CID your phone came with.

If you want to be able to flash any RUU (as opposed to a few particular RUUs) you need S-Off.

English language allows for ambiguity :rolleyes:
