[HTC EVO 3D] hugomo:
Hello there!

I have some questions about my phone that is bricked..

My phone: HTC EVO 3D (GSM)

I will tell you all things that I did to my phone, and how the phone behaving is. ( Sorry for bad English at the start :) )

All started when I swapped different SIM card into my phone, that was already swapped before and phone was functionaling normally.

And last time I swapped it again and I got it bricked, or boot looped, or something else.

So the phone behaving is next:

When I put my battery in and put it on charge, the red light for charging turns on for about 4-5 seconds, and then it turns off and stops charging.

And when i turn it on, it just shows HTC logo for few seconds and after that it goes to black screen and stays there forever, and my touch button lights stays turned on.

When I connect my USB cable while that black screen is on, Windows starts to search drivers for "qhsusb_dload".

When I put battery out and in again, I can access my HBOOT and FASTBOOT by pressing volumedown and power button, but when i try to go to Recovery, or Factory reset, phone just shuts down.

My HBOOT version was 1.53.0007, and I successfully downgraded it with Unknownforce Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1. to 1.49.0007 on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2124142

And then I successfully installed RUU with PG86IMG.zip, but still goes to black screen.

And condition of my phone now is:

***LOCKED***

SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.49.0007

RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M

eMMC-boot

So I found thread on xda-developers forum with unbricking procces for qhsusb_dload issue, but that proccess can't detect my phone.

Here is thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25501417

I did not do any updating, or anything that could brick my phone to this state, just what I did is swapping different SIM CARD, and after that I did not manage to turn it on.

So I'm out of my mind, and asking you for options if you have any?

Thank you.

I tested a Mega 6.3 today and thought it was awesome... the screen is massive and performance seems to be on par with the N2. If the N3 turns out to only get a 5,7" screen I might get the Mega instead.

If you look at the benchmarks, the Mega 6.3 beats the Note 2 more often than not. People get too caught up in dual-core versus quad-core; the latter isn't automatically more powerful.

However I expect the Note 3 will thrash the Mega in benchmarks not to mention pixel density.

It annoys me a bit that you try to "defend" the telephone you have purchased and are not willing to read new reviews or listen to user reviews from people who own both the N2 and the Mega.

I'm happy with my N2 but haven't closed my eyes to alternatives by any means.

A review is a review...thats it. Just because a user reviews something, does not mean that is everybody's opinion. The Mega is cheaper than the Note 2 for a very simple reason....it IS NOT the same quality, nor does it outperform it. Those that are on their soap boxes "bigging it up", are obviously taken in by the screen size. I have both, a Note 2 for personal use, and I have a Mega as a test piece for work. Its like saying a Ford Fiesta can outrun a Ferrari...they both have four wheels and an engine....but I know which I would rather drive.

Both these phones are excellent for different reasons....but as a straight forward comparison....Note 2 shows it a clean pair of heels by a country mile.:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] landeiro:
Mega 6.3 is mid. Note II top. Mega its sux for me, very big, not top performance only 1,5 gb ram. Wait Note 3 or buy S4 or Xperia Z Ultra.

This reviews is not accuracy however your decision.

Note II< Mega 6.3< Mega 5.8<
[Galaxy Note II General] Tubgirl:
Correction: Note2 is last year's flagship, Mega is midrange of 2013 which is pretty much on par with the N2 give or take.

Well well... I've had both Note1 and Note2 mainly because they had the biggest available displays at the time and while some people say 6,3" sux because of its size you also have people that say the Note2 sux for the very same reason. As long as the device fits in MY pockets then I'M happy.

I enjoy my Note2 (and I enjoyed my Note1, S2, HD2 and E90 before that... all flagships of their time) and if somebody feels offended because cheaper phones can perform as well or better than the Note2... well that's not my problem ;) I'm just sharing my findings with other "big screen freaks" like myself.

Have a nice day...
[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
I hear you... I have very seriously considered the Mega 6.3 but in the end I gave up because of the RAM. The way I use my smartphone, less than 2GB RAM is, sadly, a deal breaker.

You are taken by the display size and I can perfectly understand you (I myself was quite ready to DOWNGRADE from a Note II to the Mega 6.3 just because of its display size), but you have to admit that the Mega is worse than the Note II in practically everything else... (display quality included: by all accounts the Mega's display is pretty good but I simply love AMOLED displays).

So yes, it most definitely has lower specs all around but had it had 2GB RAM I would be toting a Mega 6.3 now... ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] landeiro:
Nops. Note 2 ís top today until release Note 3. It´s flagship. Mega Midrange. Very Lost features. I will never buy this Mega for all reasons. Note 2 ís big but Mega is very big as Xperia Z Ultra. Note 2 beats Mega 6.3 all features. Forget it and wait or buy another phablet.

[Galaxy Note II General] Tubgirl:
Thanks for the link landeiro... I like how the Mega can fit more content on the screen... see how the benchmark progress bar fill almost half the screen on the N2 while it only occupies a fraction of the Mega's screen leaving lots of space for more info. The actual benchmark result doesn't mean much to me since they seem to behave about the same when being handled by the user. Besides I spend 95% on my N2 surfing the web and the Mega seems plenty fast enough for that.

Agreed.
[Galaxy Note II General] spfraggle:
I think that raw specs mean nothing if you don't use the phone to its full potential. If you use lots of power app and use the s-pen regularly then the mega is not an option but for those who bought the Note 2 for say, just multimedia, watching movies etc then the mega makes a good side step since you're not going to miss the higher specs of the Note 2 but in trade you get a larger screen. I do see the appeal of the mega but because of the lower hardware is not for me. I'm just hoping that the Note 3 gets a good bump in screen size
[Galaxy Note II General] jetbruceli:
Only thing going for the mega right now is 4.2.2 and the bigger screen.

I will take those cuts for better performance, s-pen and of course this note 2 has a lot more developments than it too!
[Galaxy Note II General] BratPAQ:
honestly, im intrigued by the mega's performance, why a dual core is as good if not better than a quad-core. maybe its the 4.2.2

i wonder though if note 2 gets the 4.2.2 update, how will they compare then. anyway i still have to spend 2 years more with my note 2 contract, so no use for me, haha
[Galaxy Note II General] Beowulf_pt:
I'm very flexible to alternatives and never defend a product only because I bought it.

That said, I think the Mega is not perfect for me. The Note 2 has a few interesting advantages. While I like big screens, the Note 2 is pretty much on the limit for my preferences. Anything bigger starts being tricky to carry the way I carry them.

Plus less memory, no FM radio, midrange performance and above all - no S Pen. The lack of S Pen alone would be a deal breaker for me, especially when combined with the LCD screen. I got really used to the great contrast and deep blacks of the SAMOLEDs... so far, no LCD has looked as nice to me. The Mega has a good screen, blacks are as deep as in a an iphone 5, but I have an iphone 5 in the house and the screen just doesn't look as nice as the Note 2's... resolution isn't everything.

Let see what the Note 3 will bring. But even then, it will be a solution to a problem I don't have right now - the Note 2 remains very very functional and I seldom miss anything except the ability to fold it in two and make it smaller when I don't need to use it.
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
Screen for mega is lcd. Not samoled. But the price difference makes a big difference to note 2. For me if mega came out Earlier I would got myself mega.

Been on note2 for 8 monthsnow and the times I used spen is less than 20...
[Galaxy Note II General] Shudder123:
i played with a few mega 6.3 phones at the samsung store here. it feels like a larger and more awkward sibling of the s4. in no way would i compare it to the note 2 at all. the mega i found was way too big and couldn't even fit into my pocket.

i have only seen one person with the mega, however every time I use public transport at least 4-10 people around me have a note 2, s3, s4 or some variant of of those size phones

Yesterday I had the chance to play with a Mega 6.3 at the store, I can say that even for a big screen sucker as myself I found it too big for a daily phone usage. Besides after using the Note II the SPen is a must have feature.
[Galaxy Note II General] dante-fu:
How do you use the S pen in daily life?

I have a Note 1 and I find it to be just a gimmick. I can take notes faster using the keyboard than being limited by the relatively small size of the screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Hover to expand menu, browsing without annoying false touches more than notes really. Or even using keyboard. Especially while traveling or walking. Although it is decent enough for quick notes, while buying grocery etc. for instance.
[Galaxy Note II General] apallohadas:
All of that ^^ plus diagrams.

One of the websites I regularly use for work has hover over menus. Those are even annoying on a desktop!
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
I don't necessarily use it in daily life, but very handy for applications like Home Plans, and sketching diagrams, editing pictures or videos.
[Galaxy Note II General] numbnutsuk:
I have both the note 2 and the mega 6.3.

They are the like comparing an apple with an apple.

One apple is slightly larger than the other and one has a stalk.

One has a slightly less vibrant green color. The other has a few more pips inside!

One is newer than the other and more fresh. The other cost more.

One is labeled 4.1 the other 4.2.

Based on this I choose the mega 6.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tubgirl:
One disadvantage with the Note2 we haven't discussed is the screen burn-in problem. It's easiest to view in low light condition with the brightness turned all the way down. This is how you see it:

1. Open your browser and load the Google homepage.

2. Turn your Note2 sideways onto landscape position,

Now... (unless your device is fairly new and you haven't used it a lot) take a look at the edge of the screen that's closest to the Samsung logo (same edge as the notification led, front facing camera and proximity sensor) and you'll see a strip that's brighter than the rest of the screen!! This is a classic case of burn-in!! So... looking at that bright strip... once the entire screen was that bright but it's getting darker and darker the more you use it. (the reason that strip is brighter is because that part of the screen haven't been used as much since that's where the notification area normally is and the dark grey color of that area doesn't burn the screen as much)

This has happened to all four amoled screens I've had... two S2's, one Note1 and now my current Note2.

[MENTION=2133134]Tubgirl[/MENTION] - I have nothing of that sort here. Mine's relatively old and yes I'm a heavy user. What I don't do though, is to leave the screen on while charging, or a static image/text/page for an awfully long time. Are you talking about permanent burn in or image retention (that takes a few seconds to go away)?

And I think most of us here are aware of AMOLEDs and the ghost image/image retention issue, and have discussed this to death by now. Also the blotches that's visible in a dark room on black screen lowest brightness.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tubgirl:
The burn-in is permanent. I have a 2 minute screen timeout and never have the screen turned on during charging. During daytime I always use full brightness and in the evenings I manually lower it.

I don't have a camera with me to take a picture but here's a picture of my old Note1.

about burned in amoled screen, thx for pointing the way to check thw screen.

i am a note 2 owner for 7 months now (since end of december last year).

i am medium user.

with the lowest brightness, in landscape mode just like Tubgirl said, I can barely see the difference. yes, it is there, but hard to see if i dont pay attention to it.

maybe because i am a medium user.

usually put the brigthness around 50%,no auto lock. i always lock the phone manually.
