Define bricked for us. "Bricked" generally means that you can't get it to turn on at all. If you are getting bootloops or whatever, you still have hope!
Can you get to the boot loader? If so, have no fear. The path to redemption is probably going to be simple.

I hope you are doing the RUU. Follow these instructions closely and slowly and I bet you'll be back up and running in the hour.
Don't forget to check you MD5 after you put the RUU on the SD... just in case. And run the RUU twice, just like the instructions say. It's essential.

Its funny becasue iwas doing exactly that. Do i HAVE to relock?

I have to commend you on stressing checking the MD5! It seems people have completely left this important step out of the flashing equation. I forget who it was who said this, but it holds true. "Flashing a file without checking the MD5 is like having sex with a known prostitute without a condom" Classic awesomeness! It seems that running the RUU twice is getting by a lot of people. It is DEFINITELY essential!l,

It's just good common sense to check the MD5. It takes like 5 seconds and could save you tons of problems. Flash a bad file to your phone once and see how you feel about it!

This is normal. i forget when but i know i saw it before. It just means your phone is pulling more power then the USB can pull. Try using the adapter that came with your phone

You don't purchase 4G seperately. If you have a 4G phone and a data plan, it is part of the deal.

I tried to turn it on and all I get is a vertical line that fades from gray to blue to red. It buzzes like it's coming on and then... nothing. Anyone else had this problem?

Sorry, I'm having a borderline panic attack...
I wasn't doing anything to it at the time - It had gone dead and I plugged it in to charge when I got home. After maybe 10 min I tried to power it up and I got the weird vertical line on the right side of the screen. I have tried battery pulls, I tried charging it fully then turning it on. I can't boot into the hboot menu. It is 100% stock, s-on. I haven't even tried temp-root on it. I'm trying to run an RUU but it keeps giving a usb error
don't try fixing this yourself! Take it back to an authorized Sprint repair store ASAP.
First of all relax, most bricks are reversible - but indeed some are not and hence you are panicking. Well if you followed the instructions as mentioned in the thread 99.9% things should have not gone wrong. But now that they have - you either need to figure out at what step did they go wrong - and what step before that step you did something wrong.
If nothing works - then run to your operator.
I took it in to Sprint. The rep was literally outraged that my phone was broke. Said it was ridiculous that I should have to come down there after only having my phone 2 weeks. Gave me a brand new one in the box, no questions asked. FYI - they said they hadn't had any other reports of similar issues and hadn't seen it before. It was just a white line down the right side of the screen and wouldn't do anything else.
Glad to hear Sprint is keeping the a good face...especially in this locked hboot era...just try not to break this one
Good to know that, and good on Sprint's part as well. Please read well before doing something tothis one.
Seriously. I didn't do anything to it. It is bone stock. I didn't accept a new OTA. I didn't drop it, get it wet, or try to run unrEVOked. I haven't even tried to run frEvo. It wasn't OC'd, UV'd, STFU'd or ROFLMAO'd. It seriously just borked itself. Or it was the pornography. I guess it could have been the porn...

Guys my note seems to be in the most dreadful state possible. It wont turn on, I can't put it in recovery, when I connect it to the computer I can hear a sound signalling it does recognize something, but adb cant find the device (seems like it turns off).
This happened after trying to put the cwm beta4 recovery.img , nobody except me is responsible, I was trying to put flash the image, after running the command however it dint seem to me it made any difference after trying to boot to recovery so, I tried running the command again, except this time, it gave me an error which said it ran out of space or disk space, I tried restarting and it wont turn on.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Okay just noticed this, in the device manager it now says QHUSB_DLOAD, I'm guessing this is some form of download state, I have odin open, how do I know if its recognizing it?

this wont reset the counter like on certain devices but it will put the sgh-i717 at&t note into download mode just by plugging it in
then flash back to stock with odin. all of the info to do that is located in this forum
edit.. alot of these guys are right though, if it doesnt react to being plugged in or turned on no matter what, nobody in the at&t store will figure it out, they will mark it defective and give you a new one
Honestly......best idea.... return it. I'd actually suggest leaving it alone, on the off chance you got Odin to recognize it, and maybe halfway fixed the Note, it might then look to whomever you return it to that you broke it somehow. Basically the fact it won't turn on at all is to your benefit at this point.

As for the brick, i concur, returning it at this point would be best. I hate using dd to flash things, one typo can screw up the entire device.
if it turns on at all... you may risk getting it found to be modded. just sayin.
if i were you. Id find an old ac adapter cut the wires and seperate. then zap the prongs where the battery connects. in my experience, old laptop chargers work the best. be sure to cut the end off of the cord that plugs into the laptop. the brick will protect you from fatal or even harmful shock so dont worry.

I agree. Mine was rooted the day I got it.
If you do decide to root the replacement, reading is your friend. Read, read again, and read it a third time. Then don't be afraid to read it more if necessary, and a you're doing the steps.

I had it rooted, it was while trying to install cwm, I did read it a few times, perhaps needs more reading, I had tinkered with iphones quite a bit, but I never had a bricked device ever in like 4 years, I never thought it could goto a state where the only real way to bring it back would it be to connect to a jtag device.
So, long story short, took the Phone into Sprint so they could look at my headphone jack (was cracked and left ear bud would constantly cut in and out) because its acting up.
Gave the Tech the phone without the battery in it (since he didn’t need to power up the device to clearly see the headphone jack has a huge crack in it) but I left my SD card installed. As he was walking away, I asked him if I could remove my SD card and he let me, then seen that I gave him the phone without a battery. So, I ended up giving it to him (praying he didn’t turn it on and see ViperBoys sick ass ROM booting up) and he accidently pressed the power button turning the phone on. Promptly short after, he removed the battery when the phone was on the HTC screen, didn’t even get the boot animation. I was like OHH $h!t, that gonna mess up my phone & sure as $h!t, it did… Just loops in and out of that screen resetting each time with a little vibrate then looping.
I can get into Fastboot and use ADB, I’ve flashed RUU’s, put Stock image on root of SD and let recovery restore (losing my CWM & my HBOOT 1.400), unlocked, relocked, wiped, thrown, and screamed at it with no luck.
I did do a CWM backup before even setting foot in the Store, so I do have a backup. The 1st thing I tried was restoring it through CWM recovery and that didn’t stop the looping. I can still get into fastboot via power + vol down and adb functionality is still there.
HBOOT is 1.50 and s-on is enabled..
Been reading through threads since lunch and tried many different solutions without success. It seems once a phone is this far gone, people stop responding.
Anyone have any ideas?
New phone will be here tomorrow (free of coarse courtesy of Sprint insurance) but I’ve been without a phone all day and most of yesterday. I’d like to get this one back to stock and booting before I trade it in for the replacement tomorrow
So you ran an RUU and it still didnt work? And you're sure the RUU SUCCESSFULLY ran without any parts of it failing right?
If that's true, there's no hope AFAIK. Try to get it not to show the bootanimation by bricking it further.

Yup, RUU ran though fine and finished without error. Thing has been rooted since Revolutionary came out with the 1st rooting scheme for the 3D.. Flashed tons of ROM's never had this problem.

My only explanation is that while he removed the battery some of your hardware got borked. This can't possibly be a software issue.

Hmm, hardware issue. Dont see how I can check for that if it doesnt boot.
Guess I'll just have to wait for the new Phone
try to fastboot oem lock it from fastboot. Then RUU, see if that works.
Why even get this one to work if you are getting a replacement?

The HTC unlock went as expected. Followed the directions to the "T", then relocked, checked in fastboot (not that I could check anywhere else, LOL) and the phone says "*** RELOCKED***". Ran 2.17.651.5 RUU successfully to the finish. Still looping

HBOOT 1.5 and s-on is a *****!
Not to mention... But in Linux, I never got revo recovery to flash... You can do it in windows just do it via fastboot.
Took my Orig cwm bsckup "recovery" & "boot" .img and threw them @ the phone via command prompt.
After cwm was restored, I restored my 4\29\2012 backup that I made before I entered the Sprint store, now my phone is back to the exact same way
It was. Pretty Damn sweet!

What's the likely hood that there will be a method for getting S-OFF without doing the wire trick in the somewhat near future? I really want to S-OFF but sticking wires into the back of my phone seems a little sketchy. I know that it would be hard to screw it up but still. Is it worth just biting the bullet and doing the wire trick or should I tough it out until there's another method?

recovery from failed s-off attempt
prior to attempting, I did a full nandroid backup with amonra recovery.
switched cards and ran the setup, it looked like all was working
but wire trick didn't for me. going to try again, with stiffer wire.
after battery pull, I rebooted to hboot fastboot and restored
the amon ra recovery with fastboot. I can reboot to amon ra now.
I tried normal boot and that failed to run. I thought the controlbear was
putting part software was part of itself in recovery, should it have written
on the real OS partitions?
hboot says unlocked, s-on, hboot-2.10.000
restore of the amon ra leaves me with juopunutbear in green in center of
screen on normal boot.
how do I recover?
the card contains boot.img, cache.img, data.img, recovery.img, system.img
do I need to fastboot flash parts of it? I'm unsure what it did?

After re-flashing Amon RA, use con's Nandroid helper or pull boot.img and "fastboot flash boot boot.mg" in hboot, in conjunction with a restore without the helper zip.
EDIT:
Once you gain s-off with the utility you won't need to do the above steps, as you will then be able to restore your boot.img without the assistance of either.
[Solved] Thanks... where can find the utility?
nandroid helper
So I need to boot to hboot / fastboot
then fastboot flash boot boot.img,
then restore the rest with amon ra?
Or were they already restored and just boot.img
needs manual loading?
next time I'll know to fastboot flash the boot.img
I guess that's due to s-on recovery can't restore
itself and boot?
==> resolved. Everything is back up from the backup.

Already there. You can't restore a boot.img in recovery "natively" with s-on.
I was wondering about doing a backup, maybe somebody can point me in the right direction. I am on the ICS leak from a month or so ago. Everything works, so I don't even know why I'm thinking about this, but anyway, I'd like to do s-off because I love flashing different roms. My problem is I have a few apps that I use a lot, but they generate their own ID so to speak. They don't use a login and if I lose the data I already have, all my contacts on the apps are toast. I assume that the data for those apps must reside in the phone somewhere, but, I have no idea where, and I really would be hating life if I lost it.
/rant
App makers, please let us use email/password to effing identify ourselves instead of some randomly generated crap!
/end rant
So I guess the utility
makes the boot.img into an PH98IMG.zip for hboot to process?
Something like the ROM kernel modules are done?
Alright so long story short I tried to rush through rooting my new phone here without checking everything out too much (complete fail on my part...but I wanted it rooted before I went out to the bars to save some battery life haha...ironic, now I'll have no phone tonight).
I went to root it and it somehow got screwed up...the sense launcher wasn't showing up along with the fact that when I pulled down the notification bar and hit settings, it crashed, so I went to unroot it with the RUU 1.13.651.1 and when I got to the comparison screen it said I had 1.13.651.1_R2...and being already frustraited at this point, decided how worse could it get? Tried it out, not my brand new phone is stuck at the black htc screen....fail.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I tried running it again to no avail...I'm about to try the other RUU to just see if it works, but I'm running out of other ideas. Anyone that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
awesome first post and congrats on your new paperweight

tough luck and congrats on your first post
will it turn on, what can you get it to do?... geez guy at least attempt to help evern though this was an idiot move to rush thru it...
he could try to unlock his bootloader, manually flash the recovery and flash a rom thru there ^_^
but since he even failed at one click root, how will he do all that?
can u get to the bootloader?
does ur comp recognize it when u plug it in? even if it's still stuck

Not that hard if he actually takes his time and reads before doing anything. If he can unlock the bootloader with htcdev and flash a recovery he should be ok

Easy. Hold the volume buttons down while you turn the phone on then choose to reformat or restore or whatever the option is.

Well, the good news is the phone is not hard bricked, it has a soft brick and is recoverable. Redownload the RUU and try again, but make sure you have the correct one. If that doesn't work you'll have to unlock with htcdev, flash a recovery and flash a ROM. Then try the RUU again if you no longer want root.
Like others have said...it sounds like there is hope for your phone yet. Take your time and CAREFULLY follow instructions for whichever process you choose. Hopefully you post again later saying you were able to fix it.
apparently he doesn't care that much... he hasn't checked back recently...

First off don't feel too bad, No matter how sure you know what your doing we all make mistakes. I paperweighted mine while manually installing some mods last night. If you would of watched the how to RUU the evo lte you would of seen that that the black HTC screen is perfectly normal. The phone will sit on that screen for like 10 minutes sometimes it will reboot and sometimes you will get differnt screens. The key is to have the drivers handy and install them if ur PC ever calls the device android 1.0.
The RUU version 1.13.651.1_R2 is the one you should be using. As scary as it is you just need to be patient, and let the RUU run it may look like nothing is happening but something is.
