Ok, so here's my problem. I was running rumrunner trying to gain S-off on my evo LTE, but while it was sitting on my desk, the cat pulled on the USB cord while it was going through it;s second pouring and the cord came out. After rebooting it I had problems, Reflashed Viper Rom, everything seems to be working ok, a little sluggish maybe ,but not too bad. I was just wondering if I should try to fix anything or try to re-run rumrunner. It's my only phone and I'm afraid to screw it up more. Thank you for any and all help, I appreciate it.

Hello, today my phone just seemed to shut down itself.
It's strange, now my PC can see it only as QHSUSB_DLOAD (even if the phone is without batteries), and i can't turn it on.
I removed my SD so that may be the cause (i can't see the sense, but i really didn't anything else).
Any idea of something i can try?

I think you need to start at step 2 of unknownforces downgrade/unbrick guide in development stickys. Good luck.

Please i have a question
1-iam now freaking scared
2-before 5 minutes i saw that thread and then i flashed cayanogen mod 10 to my phone using twrp 2.2
and then it seems the i bricked my phone!!!
and will it work for htc evo 3d gsm
hboot
1.53.000.7
S-off
Nothing more
i can,t get into hboot
and when i plug it in the charger i see a little red light in the notificatoins light it is so small barly
PLEASE IF MY PARENTS KNOW I BRICKED MY PHONE THEY WILL KILL ME
I just pull my phone from pocket and it was shut down. nothing happened when i try to turn it on and even the charging is not working. when i connect the phone to the pc it says QHSUSB_DLOAD. i assume that somehow it bricked itself??? how can i repare it? please let me know if i can do something to repair it!
I sold it, but it seems that it can be recovered with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
It is for S ON. I am S OFF.
Unkownforces and the HTC Unbricking Project are S-ON only. If it is bricked with S-OFF, I'm sorry to say, you are screwed. You might be able to search Google for something, but as far as I know, you cant fix it.
This phone has gotten me wanting to quit technology altogether. I have had so many problems with mine, I can't even explain how irritated I am and how good an iPhone sounds to me. Phone rejects all usb connections, can't stay on for more than half an hour (If I can get it to boot fully) I don't even know what to do anymore. I know I could probably get it RUU'd, only thing is that I can't lock its bootloader anymore. And also broke my root. Superuser and su are still there, but superuser can't gain root access, neither can anything else. Tried factory resetting and reflashing my rom, but that didn't work for more than 10 minutes. Honestly if I could, I would torch this phone and leave it in a ditch, unless someone has a way for me to RUU without needing to lock the bootloader, because I'm pretty sure that's the only way I can do it.
I'm on CleanRom 4.[one version before the newest]
Warranty it. But that sounds like a cluster**** of user error.

what he said. were these problems there when it was stock unrooted? doubt it.
Wow...I've had no real problems with mine at all, except for some weirdness with recovery and Boot Manager yesterday. But I finally managed to clear those up. This has been a great phone for me. I don't intend to assume user error, but it's always a possibility...but don't give up and go to the iCrap...Android is still WAY better. Hopefully someone in the community can get ya straightened out.

The only reason why there's any problems is because none of my cables connect to my phone anymore. My stock one broke and so now I'm using the standard usb cables that every other phone has. usb connection has never worked since the switch. Also my phone was working fine till it decided to randomly reboot into death.

I don't blame you for blaming me, but the truth is I really don't think this is my fault. I have almost bricked my phone due to a batched RUU Flash, but it still worked fine after I got it out of the loop. And this all started happening recently. I dunno what to think.

Is there a difference? I've tried at least 6 different cables, brand-new out of the box to older used for other phone. I know I can connect older phones with the same cable, so I'm pretty sure it's a data cable.

the cable for the og droid should be a data usb cable, so try taht one. i know that we sell cables that actually don't work for sending data in my store, but come with a travel charger.
idk man, it sounds like you may have f'ed it up somehow. why can't you unlock it again? try RUU'ing the newest leak maybe?

To run the exe, yes. But if you S-Off, it won't matter. It may be worth it.
FWIW, I know the 4G issue that occurs after flashing a radio is resolved by running the RUU then doing an hboot factory reset...maybe give that a shot?

Can't S-OFF if I can't connect my phone to my computer.
The vzw corporate just agreed with me that the battery life is ****ty and sent me a gnex which ill be happy with since the battery is better and it has miui roms which I like
what i would reccomend doing is flashing the latest ruu.
to do this take out your microSD and put it in a sd card adapter and put the ruu onto the sd card and then run it, and then do an hboot factory reset

What was the process you went through to get this done?
I would definitly say you should warranty replace it. Dont know why you cant use a data cable to connect to pc, I use em all the time, sounds like a hardware issue with that. Unless you can data connect while in Recovery or in Hboot I would say just replace with warranty.
Just tell them about the heat issue....and bad battery life...they sent me another rezound and I complained again and now they sent me the nexus....I know im going to be happy with that phone...I can just smell it

no, the specs aren't ****tier. however, the actual phone itself is ****tier. the pentile amoled screen with oversaturated colors, the terrible radio that gives awful 4g reception and awful 4g speeds when compared to a rezound. you act like we don't have the developers...really? have you ever been to the development subsection? either way, go enjoy your nexus. i'll continue to enjoy my customized rezound, thanks to our many developers.
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!

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.

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.

A friend of mine has an EVo V4G. He recently did the wire trick and while trying to flash the eng hboot to his device it just turned off. his hboot is 1.57.5757 he had TWRP installed and though roms would flash fine each time he would boot loop. It doesn't respond to any button combo nor does a charge light come on while plugged in. Any help would be greatly appreciated as he lives a Looong way from me and I can't exactly drive there. Troubleshooting via Google talk sucks plus I'm running out of answers

It's really hard to tell with that much information, especially since he can't turn the phone on to get more data, but if his bootloader flash got interrupted somehow he might have bricked the phone. This thread is specifically about how to "unbrick" after that happens and he should probably read at least the OP to see if that fits his situation.
One thing he can try that has worked for some is to charge it on the A/C adapter overnight and see if he can start the bootloader in the morning after removing/replacing the battery.

tried sitting on the charger overnight and nothing.
hook up to computer and i get qhsusb_dload.

Just a thought but you might hit up Team Unlimited on their IRC channel and see if they can be of any help. I know their site says their support of qhsusb_dload issues is limited to problems encountered while using their tools to S-off but they may be able to point you in the right direction, at least.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Does it charge? If so, it's not bricked.
IRC says firmware problem (whatever that means).
wont light up or anything.
sent it to sprint, sending me a new phone (free) tuesday at the latest.
