I bought a used Evo on craigslist for a crazy great price. The screen was alleged to not work, but does. There's a pattern lock that the original owner doesn't remember. Any way around this? Other than doing a reset through the bootloader? I was able to get into the bootloader screen, using the volume keys, but they are unresponsive using within the menu. Am I completely out of luck? I would really love any advice you have. Thanks in advance.
We're not going to help you hack into a phone, especially when you only have one post here. If you want to get into the phone, do the right thing and contact the seller and ask what their pattern is.
Sorry. I didn't even think of how my post could be interpreted. I contacted the seller. They suggested trying N and reverse N shapes, to no avail. I wouldn't even be thinking about the pattern, if I could use the boot menu properly. I guess my question is: Is this a hard ware problem stemming from the alleged water damage? If so, why does the volume button work to launch the menu, but not within it?
You won't be able to bypass the pattern lock. You'll have to do what the seller should have and do a full factory reset...
Try the Supersonic 4.67 RUU in .exe form.
On some roms if you input the wrong pattern a certain number of times it will reset the phone and let you in after it has erased all info on the phone, if the volume buttons aren't working in the bootloader(hboot) what are your options in the menu is the first option bootloader or fast boot? If it says bootloader first fast boot maybe enables and selecting bootloader with the power button should activate the remaining options, if you have a power menu mod from lockscreen press and hold power button select reboot and 4 options will appear select recovery and from recovery wipe all/ data factory reset and reboot and you will have a completely stock phone, however with the seller not knowing their own lock pattern I'd say seller=thief and esn=blacklisted which will require a bit of shady tactics to get you activated on any carrier be it sprint boost metropcs etc

I know it's not much in the way of proof, but it's what I have to show I didn't steal the phone.
In any case, I'm being impatient as I'm still waiting for the USB cable I ordered to come in. I'm no stranger to rooting or custom roms. However, is it possible to wipe the phone without being able to use the vol keys to manipulate the hboot menu?
Also, the rom seems to be the stock rom, nothing custom, so the only option I get is to enter the google account credentials. That would be too convenient.
Thanks for addressing my concern that the vol key isn't working.

I can't; it's locked by the pattern lock that the seller doesn't remember. [see above]
Use one of the ruu.zip(pc36img) I think its named likke that from the bootloader ... Make sure the file(pc36img) is on the root of the sdcard and go into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to updTe and follow the instructions

yes i have done both and after the phone reboots i can hear sounds but i am still unable to see anything on the screen
Edit - I take that back, if it's still not working after a reboot
Have you tried entering the bootloader and re-flashing with the stock ROM?
If you can't see anything at all on the screen, no splash screens etc, even after soft-reset or entering the bootloader, then it sounds like you have a hardware problem (screen failure).

"PLEASE HELP"
It's a tricky situation. So if you hold down Volume Down (and keep it held down) and press the reset button, then you still don't have anything come up on the screen ?
How about if you try a hard reset, does anything come up then ? You can hear the phone making sounds, so it seems like it's just the screen ?
Putting the charger in doesn't help, does it ?
You could try flashing a stock ROM from SD card and seeing what happens.
You might well have to send it back under warranty with HardSPL still on. In that case, if it was me, then if they tried to say the warranty was void just because of HardSPL I would argue very strongly against that and ask them to prove it - e.g. how can HardSPL stop your screen working ? I don't know what country you're in, but in the UK I think our consumer protection laws would have something to say about that.

I've never flashed via SD, so I could be wrong on this. But I thought it was still possible. I see that the instructions (in the sticky on flashing ROMs) say to put it into the bootloader and "follow the on-screen instructions". I wonder if it's possible to just wait for a while and then press the appropriate key ? Though I don't know what the "appropriate key" is.
Perhaps someone who has flashed via SD can comment further, e.g. as to whether it's possible to do this without seeing the screen ?

man i really need to fix this maybe you can ask around for me since i'm new here & really don't know anybody on this board
I know it's frustrating, I'd be kinda worried if I had an apparently-non-working screen too. But please be patient, and wait for more people to see your posting. The folks in the US will be coming online around this sort of time, so there will be more people looking in and hopefully someone can help further.
Flash without seeing the screen
Enter boot loader even if you can not see the screen. You can flash your phone to stock then enter boot loader again and hard spl. I had a similar situation and was able to complete the process and warranty repair with AT&T no problems, or you can pay to have it fixed at an outside shop. I was quoted 150 and refused to spend that muck so I flashed the phone without seeing the screen...
I saw your post over on Sergio's thread but decided to answer you here.
You do have a blown screen, no doubt there. How that happened is not really relevant.
My best advise is to connect your phone to your PC and wait for the activesync connection to come up. Once that happens you know you have a good connection and can flash. Run the RUU (or exe) for your stock ROM, the on screen (PC Screen) prompts will let you know if it can't proceed. Once the stock ROM is back on it, follow the same procedure and put the stock SPL back. Then send it off to get the screen replaced.
Hope that helps

well when i plug my phone to the computer activesync is not popping up what can i do to get activesync to recognize my phone
can somebody please help me i need to reflash my phone but i am unable to see anything on my screen when i plug it up to my computer activesync is not working so what can i do please i really need help with this
Flashing witout screen
Step 1
Enter boot loader mode (* Remove the back cover from the phone.
* Hold the Volume Down button.
* Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
* Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.)
and attach to computer. (wait 30 to 60 seconds)
Step 2
Check device manager for HTC mobile sync under mobile devices.(Active sync will not work in boot loader mode)
Step 3
Flash using Rhodium CustomRUU on your PC. (use original ROM from At&T.
Step 4 repeat for Radio
Step 5 Use Stock_SPL_Restore_087.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 repeat the process with it.
This should work it did for me. Let me know if you run into problems.
Well I have had my question answered by a friend but the answer was not the best of news.
Evidently my rom is corrupted which makes me feel like a jack a** for not rooting sooner since from my reading of the forums you can 'flash or re-flash' the different rom builds and recover your phone. So my conundrum exist in the fact that i never did root since i love sense so much and i was told that s-off negated it period, my phone being bricked or soft bricked since i can get into the boot loader is there a way to root and flash a custom rom so that i can get the phone to work.
And also im running the official upgrade for froyo
espresso pvt ship s-on\hboot- 1.02.0000
microp-0620
touch panel-synt0102
radio-7.15.35.16
nOV 26 2010,20:43:01
any help would be appreciated since i have some thing that i want to get off the phone that i deem relevant in my life as well as the desire not to buy a new phone quite yet since im not eligible for an upgrade
What exactly is wrong with your phone? How did your friend know it was "corrupted?"
Have you tried this, as copied from another non-rooted person:
1. pull battery
2. replace battery and turn on power WHILE HOLDING volume down. This will access "Hboot"
3. use the volume down button to hover over option 3 Clear storage
4. select using the power button
5. hit yes using volume up
I don't know anything about the official update, but can't you update your phone again with that same procedure?
Oh, read up on your problem. You dropped it in water. Is that obvious? Can you check and see if they'll send you a replacement. That doesn't actually sound like your rom is corrupted, it sounds like your hardware is fried.

So this is my dilemma i have a slide that was dropped in water, it started to work for a moment then it stopped it's stuck on the splash screen and wont go beyond that. It will go into bootloader but wont boot in recovery mode. It does read the usb in recovery mode although i cant access the files (it just shows the hr glass and i mean for hrs.. I would try to root from this point point but i got the official froyo update so i cant go s-off and i dont have a gold card or the facilities to make one. Help please i dunno what to do from this point!!!........
that was my original question. I didn't get a reply so i got a hold of my friend who lives in alaska, who also works for an it company he says that it sounds like the rom is corrupted since u can access some of the primary functions ie. bootloader, it does read from the sd card, it does go into fastboot (sort of).
I bought the phone off of craigslist so no insurance there either, so rocjk in a hard place yes. Ive tried clear storage as well no luck there, as for re-updating i would have to be able to access the sd from the usb, and although it does read it every time i've tried to access it won't let me from the desktop.
So i come again to those with more knowledge than my self in hopes of garnering the requisite knowledge. How would/could you tell if the hardware's fried or not?
I don't know about your phone but on my Evo 4G I can load a fresh copy of the official 2.2 rom without going into recovery.
I just downloaded the RUU for my phone and renamed it to PC36IMG.zip and it automatically loads on the hboot menu from my SD card. It had to be on the root of your SD card to be seen.
I get the feeling that you may have a different issue if you dropped it in water.

would i need to create a gold card for that to work? or could i just use a sd card reader download and hboot it from that point?
I've never heard of a gold card but just did a search and found info on it. Yay more stuff to research!
I'm not sure if you need one. Someone else will have to answer that. I didn't need one. But then I used unrevoked to get root, now I'm not even running that stock rom.

my verizon xperia is not recognized by either pc companion or seus. I am trying to do a hard reset due to the fact the lockscreen doesnt work. I have read that I can press and hold the back and search keys on front while powering on to factory reset the phone, however that does not seem to be the case. Can anyone give me some suggestions if the two button factory reset does work and that maybe I am just doing it wrong. And any suggestions as to how to get my phone to connect with seus so I can reset if teh 2 button trick is indeed not an option. Thank you to all in advance.
Doesnt anyone have an idea? I follow seus instructions. Power off wait 30 seconds, then plug in the usb cord to the pc, then press and hold the back button then inserting the usb cable into the phone... and then I wait for it to connect which it doesnt.
have you tried removing the battery wait a bit and put it back and then try again. I had something similar happen when I first got mine.
yes.... I waited beyond the 30 seconds it suggests. I eve waited about 2 hours once. Still nothing......I really want to get this device working.....it does power up. Everything seems like its supposed to work but it isn't. Thank you for helping me... I really really appreciate it.
hey, if youre comfortable, we can unlock the bootloader on it. if we do that, then you can just use fastboot and the files you can get off of my State of Development thread to return you back to stock. You could also root it. If that interests you, send me a pm with your ESN and Ill get you an unlock code.
Or do you still wanna try to figure out the **** fest that is SEUS?
I would love to unlock the bootloader. I have always had motorola android phones so even though i have never unlocked the bootloader I would love to.
Where would I find the ESN #? I am not able to get past the lock screen....so all I can do it make emergency calls
I have PM'd you my phones info. Thank you for your assistance
What is preventing you from passing the lock screen exactly? Programming?
the phone says that the pattern lock attempts has been exceeded... and the only way to unlock is to enter either a gmail info or answer the question. Neither of which I know.
Ahh! phew i thought it was more serious than that. Were you able to have the phone activated on your Verizon account okay? The esn wasnt blacklisted or anything?
And the funny thing is, even if you HAD got seus working, it would not have fixed that problem. SUES doesnt wipe the device as far as I know.
the *#06# in the emergency dialer doesnt show anything?
also the MEID is under the battery.
I have not activated the phone as I cant really use it in its current state. I did check with Verizon and the phone can be activated no problems.
I do have the MEID #, is it safe to list it here?
Also, the phone does not take the #* code, says its not an emergency number
K, i have successfully unlocked my bootloader on my phone..... I am trying to make sense of what to do next
YAY!!!!!. I unplugged and rebooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader and now my phone is back... I can sign into google now
you should use this command and reflash the stock system
fastboot flash system system.sin -w
this will erase usersettings and reinstall the stock rom.
make sure you have the rom downloaded.
edit- Never mind.

Hey, everything you need to know is in the many pages (and the initial post which is constantly updated) on my State of Development thread. Read through there and you will see that everyone else is also having problems with the kernels and roms making the phone unresponsively slow. The first post also has links for stock files that you might need.
Basically if you get your phone into fastboot mode (turn off, hold search key, plug in USB line, solid blue light turns on) you can do two commands to get you back to stock, and then follow the rooting instructions that I have on the R800x Rooting thread. Its linked in the state of development thread. Second item, i believe, below the link to Bin4rys.
The two commands would be "fastboot flash system system.sin" and "fastboot flash boot kernel.sin". the first command might not be necessary even, just the kernel one might fix you.

Maybe I do not understand really well why you need volume keys for unlocking phone, but you can reboot to recovery via pc, or from Rom, as well as you can unroot phone by using wugs tool for example(no need for hw keys).
You can then try to use twrp recovery as there is no need for hw keys, because twrp fully uses touch screen.
Hope this could help you.

That solves precisely nothing. He needs volume keys to unlock the boot loader.
There seems to be two ways: One is if he's on earlier versions of 4.x.x, root via adb backup restore exploit.
The second is via dd.. BOTH REQUIRE ROOT FIRST. I'd follow the best advice which is to fix those volume buttons or get rid of the phone.

So you have it already solved Did you use latest wugs app(1.6.3)? I usually flash stock+unroot. Then flash custom recovery, i.e. TWRP and there is no need to use volume keys as far as i remember. Access to recovery could be then possible from wugs by reboot into recovery if needed.

I unlock my HTC10 then flash TWRP recovery and PE ROM
after that I do "fastboot oem lock" ..............
now my phone can't boot anymore >.<
When I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off.
Is there are any way to fix that with out change motherboard ?

wait why did you run fastboot oem lock??
if you were wanting to lock you need to run an RUU first (for future reference)
by the "phone can't boot anymore" do you mean like nothing. completely dead? (Bricked)
you can't get to bootloader or download mode? Try holding volume up, volume power and power for a few minutes, see if does anything.
does it show charging light?
I am not experienced enough to give more details, esp about motherboard, but if can get to download or bootloader try RUU that matches the firmware on it.
(gotta be very sure about what you're doing when running commands esp. once the device is unlocked. once unlocked it's on you what you flash and run..)

I can't say but it seems like it could be a pain, but I hope not!

Oh dear!
I dont like to tell you this, but you have hard bricked your phone and it cannot be fixed using software.
Locking the bootloader is ONLY for when you are on pure stock. Even having a custom recovery (like TWRP) isnt allowed even if the ROM is stock.
In locking it, you have hard-bricked it, and there isnt ANY way to recover this using software. Nobody on XDA has EVER been able to sort this one out.
Your best bet is one of two options:
1. Buy a new phone. Yeah, pain I know, but the HTC 10 is now 3.5 years old and it might be cheaper to just buy a new phone than try to fix it.
2. Get it fixed at a repair shop. I can imagine that a few local places might not be able to do it, but maybe somewhere can. It's worth an ask?
I seem to recall that using a JAVA card or something like that you might be able to fix it, but if you have locked the bootloader with a custom rom on it, then the chances are it is over for you.
Hey, don't beat yourself up too much about it; we've all done stupid things in the past. I reversed my car into a concrete post last month and it cost me a fortune to fix it!
Such is life.....

When I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off.
Is there are any way to fix that with out change motherboard ?

Bro, never relock the bootloader. That's just a bad idea. You most likely hard bricked your phone and there is no way back. That's not 100% for sure but if u flashed any non-htc images the bootloader will not boot it. Thats why you keep it unlocked, so it can boot unsigned images. That's why it keeps shutting off.
