Well, my dad gave my phone to his friend, which supposedly is good at fixing all kinds of electronic stuff. Two weeks later, this friend of his claims, that he actually "brought this phone back to life". I dont really believe him, but IF its true, I am going to be very pleased. I shall also ask the man about how he accomplished it, IF he actually did. Again, no promises, because I actually have no clue whats going on with the phone now. But if its all true, then I shall share the solution to all of you in this thread.

Dont get your hopes up, though. I have honestly no idea how one could fix this issue without JTAG at this point.

I had the same problem as all of you. Downloaded TWRP "pyramid" from TWRP site, made everything ready, wiped the phone and it got stuck at wiping /data. Took the battery out, and the partition table got corrupted ( /system, /data, /cache ) . 4EXT and ADB did not help, the phone was softbricked with no fix in sight. eMMC possibly corrupted.

Its such a shame.

"This bug results in damage to wear leveller internal data structures when a secure erase command is issued to the chip when the wear leveller is in a particular state. The issue manifests itself as the chip locking up whenever an attempt is made to access regions that were near whatever region was erased. This is why some users had hardbricks (damage hit the bootloader) but others only found /data inaccessible. Once damage occurs, the only way to repair a device is a motherboard replacement. Not even JTAG can fix these devices."

This issue seems specific enough, even though the chip (MLL00M) isn't listed. Need confirmation from other users.

If i want to use a rom other than revelation 1.0.3 how do i modify the kernel ?

I ve modified the updater script but need help to modify the boot.img.
[HTC Sensation] marditobass:
Please y don't like revelation 1.0.3 ROM..

Thanks for the info, my Sensation come back to life again, but i don't like this ROM very much........

Please y know that this phone is old, but is the only i have, could someone do this process with another rom , like Viper o CM 11?

i'm beggin' you guys
[HTC Sensation] Wahaj.47:
I have the modified Cm11, Cm12.1 (both by Ivanich),and Sam Rom(Sense 7 JB), didnt modify viper rom. All you need to do is to modify the updater script and modify the kernels fstab and you are good to go :o
[HTC Sensation] factoreal:
Have had the same issues as you. Original Revelation ROM without modified boot.img and updater-script could be installed via 4EXT recovery, with the only problem that the phone could not boot past the HTC logo with white background as data partition still can't be mounted. Suspected that extraction of ROM zip file could have messed with formatting of not just the updater-script, but other critical files as well. Therefore proceeded with editing of ROM zip files within a file archiver program such as RAR by replacing with just the modified boot.img and updater-script file (in UNIX format), leaving other critical files untouched, and then proceeded to install via 4EXT recovery. Phone booted into OS but found out there was WIFI error issues.
[HTC Sensation] zillion42:
The issue is quite difficult to fix, or at least no one has fixed it yet. Personally Idk why why I cant just overwrite the whole internal SD to rewrite everything, similar as a RUU does it. What I would need is an Image and a recovery system that allows me to execute dd from from a terminal

pseudo code:

dd if=/sdcard/Ruu_or_whatever.img of=/dev/block/mmc/blk0 bs=to_be_determined

or something similar. Unless the chip is fried, as other people have suggested.

Alternatively however you can make a /data and /cache partition on a fast SD card ext1 and ext2 partition. Tried today with a reasonably fast SD card, and its bearable.

And in any scenario its better than not running at all.
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
laggy phone on external sd solved.

What I did 3 years after the problem occured. For 3 years I didnt use the phone :(.

Now I booted it again, deactivated the googleplay autmatic update function, and deinstalled all language packages, all except german using titanium backup. I deinstalled also google calender, swift, trade/share stuff and so on.

So I don't know what really the problem was, but it runs pretty good now. Faster then new laggy phones.

It takes about 10 seconds to boot. The camera is much better then the one in my wiko bloom.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andason:
hey guys,

i was bored and flashed a .zip on my phone and now I'm no longer bored. Long story, short... I'm booted into the os (almost) with constant errors popping up. I can't get the power button down for 10 seconds to reboot phone and i want to get back to recovery to flash by back up. How can I use terminal (mac) to force back into recovery if phone is not in mode for adb to recognize phone?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Try hold power button + volume up to force reboot. Once the screen goes black release those buttons and hold volume down button to go to hboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andason:
Thanks for your reply. Seems the power + volume is not be recognized. Is there a way with fastboot or adb?

Otherwise, I guess I wait until power drain.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Power + Volume Up should work. But as you asked for adb/fastboot

1) "adb devices" to check if device is recognized

2) "abd reboot bootloader" so the phone reboots into bootloader

3) go to recovery and try a reflash
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This should always work as long as the screen is on. It might take 10 seconds or more, so you may not be holding the buttons long enough.

Alternately, you can use:

adb reboot bootloader

or

adb reboot recovery

There is no required more for adb commands, as long as the screen is on. Fastboot on the other hand, requires the phone to be in fastboot mode.

What did you flash? Was it a ROM, and if so did you do a full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andason:
Thanks for all the replies. It finally died and I was able to jump back into recovery. I was trying to flash a .zip (one+ one theme) to my rom and some things about it (audiofx) was not liked. I guess adb could not recognize the phone since it was basically booted into the os. I just thought there was a way to still use adb or fast boot to push it into recovery. I did not get to try adb reboot boot loader, but would adb recognize phone even with this command?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Glad it worked and that we could help a

adb reboot bootloader should be recognized nearly any time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxarbos:
The other day I tried to change the lock to the facial recognition. I didnt complete the process and cancelled it.

Turned back on the PIN num lock and then went to bed.

The next morning the alarm went off and the screen was unresponsive.

I was finally able to log in and use the phone.

Since then, i have sporadically had decent luck with it. It works great when I go to Task Manger and 'Stop All', then reset and clear cache/dalvik

Today, it was not responding and I restarted it again and now the screen is compeltely unresponsive.

Volume and power buttons work, but that is it.

I can still receive messages and such, but cant get to them.

Backgroud:

MeanBean 3.09

TWRP 2.4.1.0

Jewel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

CID-SPCS_001

HBOOT-2.09.444

Radio-1.12.11.1210

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

eMMC-boot

Oct 18 2012 15:46:20

Any suggestions on what to do next?

I cannot even reinstall meanbean since the screen isnt working.

I have read something about installing a touch panel driver, but cannnot find it.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
The touch panel driver is likely not the culprit. If so your screen wouldn't respond to touch at all. Having said that, if you want to try and install the touch panel driver for the 3.16 update, I've provided a link at the bottom of this post to the touch panel driver download. Just install it through the bootloader the same way you would install a firmware update. If that doesn't help, then most likely your digitizer is going bad on you.

Also, as a side note, I would at least update your recovery since the one you're using is quite old now.

http://d-h.st/389
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxarbos:
That's where I'm at at this point.

Thanks for the link and info. I will also read on the digitizer. I had seen that as well as a possibility.

It looked like there was a way to replace that??

thanks. Will check back in when I know more info.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes, the digitizer can be replaced if you're up to doing it yourself, otherwise, if funds allow, you can take it to your favorite cell phone repair store and have them do it. There are a few videos on YouTube that show how to do it, and I believe Amazon carries the parts you need should that indeed be the problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxarbos:
I don't know if this helps in the assesment but before I was completely unable to get the screen to work, it was getting buggy. If I went and stopped all the tasks, the screen would act better but then after a bit when it wasn't being used, it would become mostly unresponsive.

I've never had this fail before, so not sure if this is indicative of hardware or software failure.

I also read about using a mouse with the micro usb end to try to navigate the phone.

I'm not sure if USB debugging is on....so I forget if I'm going to be able to load the driver . Will try in the morning.

Thanks for the help so far .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxarbos:
I will have to review the process of this install.... I thought i just needed to place it on the internal card and reboot, but for some reason, I cannot get it loaded on the card. Plenty of room on the card, but the .img file wont load on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
It should be a .zip file. Rename it PJ75IMG.zip and place it on your external SD card. Then reboot to the bootloader & install it the same way you would a firmware update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxarbos:
Ah yes. Thanks.

So that didnt do anything Screen still unresponsive.

i guess I will order a new screen/digitizer.

Is it gradually becoming more unresponsive a symptom of the digitizer going bad?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I've never had one go bad so I'm not sure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxarbos:
So I got an adapter to hook up a mouse to the phone and it worked. I got the phone to sync locally which was good.

Either way, I should have a new LCD/Digitizer this weekend and get it installed next week.

Am I going to have any issues getting this back on the network since it's rooted?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No. If it's not activated, you just need to have a Sense ROM installed so you can go through the activation process. MeanBean will work fine, however, I would update to the latest software version via RUU and take advantage of the new partition layout and Android 4.3.

Just want to check wether it's only on my SM-T705 ...

1 Mobile Odin 4.20 says ... device not supported.

2 Tringle Away 3.26 thinks it worked but doesnt. And I would need it badly (counter =22).

3 TWRP -2.7.1.1-klimtwifi backups work but its SuperSU = Root installation doesnt.

4 Flash Counter is increased whenever I flash a non stock .img = e.g. CF-Autoroot or TWRP with Odin

5 Knox is tripped by the same actions that increase the flash counter

6 Flash counter stays if one flashes stock recovery, even if I flash one from another country

7 If TWRP is installed via adb dd or Flashify the counter is not increased

8 What about flashing with Heimdall ... does the counter behave like if one uses Odin ?

9 How can we view the flash counter besides using Triangle Away, is there a non root or any other methode ?

10 Is there a way to get cf-Autoroot on the device without increasing the flash Counter or even without triggering Knox (like TowelRoot,...) ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edan1979:
1. still not supported. pm chainfire about it and request to add the support on the main thread.

2. its the same as 1.

3. its not working. that twrp still contain some bug. so use cf-root to root your device. THE ONE AND ONLY WAY NOW.

4. yup. it will increase the counter.

5. yup. it will as well. but the counter will be on 0x1 we still dont know if they have another counter about knox that we cannot see.

6. anything stock the counter will remain the same. its like it has a check up to verify it somewhere.

7. is it... this one i cant say... rarely use those command.

8. also cant say anything about this. leave heimdal so long i kind of forget it exist... lolz...

9. last time we can see it at download mode. now i don't know.

I have D6502 Z2, Indian, Unlocked, Flashed CM11 as per the guide and then saw CM11 booting normally but baseband and IMEI went missing.

Tried almost all the solutions like

1) Flashed older and newer versions of CM11

2) Flashed baseband and kernel seperately, first of .69 then .412 then .314., but still same issue persists

3) Copied all the modem files from stock into CM and flashed again, no solution.

4) Whenever I flashed back stock or any Stock based ROM, its working fine.

Any help is appreciated.
