Broke My Sprint Touch

Hello,
I saw on the htc site that an update for the Sprint HTC touch was available so i downloaded it and tried to load it on my phone.
It took a few tries to get it to connect and when it finally did it said there was an invalid command.
I thought it was because i upgraded my phone earlier to the titan rom and radio to get gps and rev a so i put it back to the factory settings.
Everything was normal.
I then tried the official htc software update again and it worked until it got to 10% and it said invalid command again and exited.
It is now stuck on the boot load screen and remains that way after numerous soft/hard resets.

To "unbrick" your phone, follow the steps in this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
In a nutshell:
You'll have to revert back to your carrier's ROM (by carrier, I mean a genuine, signed ROM) by extracting the ROM's exe file and renaming the .nbh file inside the archive to VOGUIMG.nbh.
Then, remove your Micro SD card and use a card reader** to put that file into the root - ensure that the card is formatted as FAT32 and that the card is not an SDHC (meaning any card that is 4GB+().
**card reader or any other device that has a microSD slot that operates as a USB mass storage device - I did the same procedure with an MP3 player... **
Insert the card and reboot the phone, it should go into the bootloader and update automatically.
Good luck

If you can get to the boot screen, chances are it is not bricked
Just download the original ROM and flash to that. Make sure to NOT use a virtual machine! You can only run the .EXE file in Windows XP natively, not in software such as Parallels or VM Ware.

If you are getting a communication error while trying to flash from the sd card, you've got some very serious problems. More than likely, if you are flashing from sd and get an error, it is probably not a communications error.
What letters are on the three-color boot-loader screen?

This is a pretty simple fix. You need to stick your MicroSD card into your PC via card reader. Format the card to fat32. Re-Formating is important because even if your card is already fat 32 sometimes it still won't work until your re-format it. Then copy "any" compatible Vogue RUU file over to your card. Rename the file "VOGUIMG" without the quotes and stick it back into your phone in the root directory.. Hold down the power and camera button and reset the phone with the stylus. Once inside the bootloader follow the instructions on your screen. Reset when you are done and you should be good. THIS IS ASSUMING YOUR PHONE IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. If you go back to Sprint and they see why your phone isn't booting they may not honor your warranty.
GOOD LUCK....

Let me clarify. Use any "Compatible" "Custom" Rom. I don't believe the Sprint Release off the HTC site will work with what you are doing. You need a Custom Rom.
I would suggest you visit: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59
and just pick one and follow the instructions I gave eariler. I don't believe you can do this type of upgrade with the Sprint ROM you need to try with a custom ROM....
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED....

Have you ever loaded a custom ROM?... You said you loaded a Titan ROM? I believe you had to have your phone unlocked for that and that was just for the Radio and it was not a full OS flash. So if you did that then hopefully your phone is unlocked.
If your phone is unlocked you will see the following on you bootloader:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.Coke
CPLD-3
What do you have listed.
Let me know and maybe I can help.

His phone is not unlocked and he cannot get back into Windows Mobile so he cannot unlock it at this point.
His only option is to load the RUU/WWE from Sprint (presuming that is his carrier) as I don't think (I'm probably wrong) that the stock boot loader will flash from sd card.

Hye Boggsie,
Didn't COKE release a version of his unlocker that was flashable via SD card. I know that I flashed extracted the .nbh from the .exe and renamed it and flashed. It worked but I only did this because I running Vista 64 and couldn't get it to work from Vista. I will look and see if I can remember how I did it. The op said he flashed a titan rom to get the radio or something. I would guess that might play a part in this.
I agree that the Sprint.exe would be his only option but I will see if I can locate what I did. That may also work........
Thanks for the reply...

Here is the link to the 2.31 unlocker: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe
Here is the link to the thread over on PPCGEEKS:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
What I did was to extract the .nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG. I flashed that from my SD card and unlocked my phone. I don't believe this is a supported method. I don't know how good of an idea it is. But it seems that you have tried everything else already. I would READ the thread VERY CAREFULLY before deciding to try this. I Must be VERY CLEAR. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. AGAIN READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE THREAD FIRST. I only did this because when I was newer I made a mistake and found myself in a similar position as you. I knew my phone was dead and figured I had nothing left to lose. I take no responsibility for this as I am sharing information that I have from my own experience. I don't think that this is really suppossed to work but it did for me. It has been a while since I fixed mine, and I have flashed to many times to remember. So I am reasonably sure this is what I did.
Good Luck......
Update:
Read this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
This should help you fix this.
UPDATE 2:
Rename the .nbh to VOGUIMG not VOGUIMG.nbh the .nbh is the file extension and not part of the renaming process. If you include .nbh in the name it will not work.....
OK. GOOD LUCK

He did, but only for the Titan or Kaiser ... probably the Titan.
AFAIK, he doesn't have a replacement Vogue, yet.

Hey I took the plunge.
I relocked and and then unlocked right from my sd card. It does work. Only recommended if there is no other way. But it does work. It is just like flashing a custom rom from your sd card but it only takes a few seconds.....

Wow ... a bit of a gutsy move; yours are bigger than mine, my friend.
Although, I wonder why / how it works? I mean, flashing a bootloader from SD is facilitated through the existing bootloader. So the existing bootloader is being overwrittern by the new bootloader, but the existing bootloader is performing the write / update process, so how can it possibly be overwritten?
This is why the bootloader process from the pc needs activesync; so that a temporary bootloader can be run in memory and then used to write the new bootloader over top of the existing one.
Oh well, who cares why I can't understand it ... it works. Good find!

First of all, you really shouldn't try a different phone's root toolkit on any other phone. Each phone has a different system and more importantly different kernel that interacts with the recovery and the hardware.
That being said, go to this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
Download .tar (not zip) file recovery according to your firmware (4.2.2 or 4.1.2)
Then follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46395577&postcount=19

i747 Hard Bricked: QHSUSB - DLOAD : Needing a debrick.img

SGH-I747 (4.1.2 i747's please)/ SGH-i747m( If you have a official 4.3 i747m, please post a debrick.img) only:
Hi, I recently hard bricked my phone into QHSUSB DLOAD and I am going to attempt repairing it through the SD Card boot method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=47431259
I need a debrick.img to flash to the SD card in a Linux OS.
I would have gotten it myself but my phone is obviously dead. I found one before on XDA, but it did not work on my device and it gave me an error in the Linux terminal when it should not have.
-snip-
The end of the 3rd boot-loader stage in mmcblk0 is at 77.3 megabytes. If you are going to help out using your device, try to refrain from uploading an image with a different ROM other than root.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.img bs=2m count=81054925
The count is the amount of bytes. I am not sure if it is meant to be 1000 bytes=kilobyte or 1024 bytes=kilobyte. The count above is for 1024.
I need someone to install the Galaxy S III unified toolkit, and pull the first 7 partitions from mmcblk0 ,which is where the third bootloader stage ends.(Don't upload a heavily modified device please) http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=213 Once you get the files, PM me.
If anyone has a link to a working one, please post that. If you want to get your own image to help me, go ahead.
Thanks guys.

Sorry for the bump... I just need the device running again since the state it's in, it CAN be unbricked.

I tried to unlock what I thought was a locked bootloader(I could only enter bootloader through ADB)
I found an article that says ezunlock works on all S III's.
It corrupted my bootloader,and my phone gives off no signs of life except "Device QHSUSB-DLOAD not recognized" when plugged in.
This means the motherboard/processor wasn't able to boot from the hard disk, so then it tries the SDcard if it matches the phone close enough.
I need someone to use their rooted i747 to dump the first 77.3 megabytes of "mmcblk0". That contains the firmware and bootloaders. With that, i can burn it to an sdcard in a linux operating system and plug it into my phone.

Hi, the toolkit didn't fix my phone, but its defiantly a step up. Since I'm assuming you have the toolkit installed that you suggested it, could you do me a favor?
It will be a bit easier using the toolkit to extract the partition files. If you could pull the first 7 partitions from "mmcblk0" of your device through the toolkit, it will probably set the next step to fix my phone. (Assuming you have a 16g i747... I don't really know)
You don't have to do this of course.
Thanks man.

it will work, it may not work but for the time being use this toolkit and also search forums or Google on how to fix this without, i think i found some answers after i had an emmc brick with my S2 but i did not have an SD card to re-write firmware to work again on my phone so i bought the S3 and its awesome

Did you use an i747 or a i747m device?
If a i747m image works on an i747, it will basically fix all of my problems.

What message appears on your computer when you plug it in?
If it says QHSUSB-DLOAD, you are in faint light.
It stands for Qualcomm High Speed USD Download Mode.
What is means that your processor(qualcomm), is trying to boot, but it cannot find proper drivers for the hardware.
It will then look for something to boot from in the SDcard.
Here is a thread on how some other people were able to do it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367

I have an I747M technically. I went for an actual I747M image just in case there was a slight difference. in the thread that one came from though there should be one for the actual att device if you look through it.
and just to confirm, yes the phone was blank and unresponsive. showing up as QHSUSB-DLOAD before i loaded that img onto my external SDcard. and I am using the same phone currently.

Unfortunately that's the download I found that didn't work.
Thanks for trying though

damn! the only other help I can offer then, is that there is a pretty good thread on this over in the d2tmo section. someone there wrote a little tool to easily download the relevant data. might help you on your quest. or at least make it so you could ask someone that doesnt know ADB. best of luck!

OK , take out your battery and tell me your model number(Behind battery). And what phone company do you use?
Did you possibly save a NANDROID on a computer?

You need to install a Linux operating system (Ubuntu works) to run the commands.
Edit:! According to the T-Mobile thread, you might need a debrick.IMG from a phone on 4.3
Once I know your phones model number, I can edit the main post and ask for you phone model's images.

[Q] Stuck in fastboot mode!

hi guys, i got a new HTC ONE M8 from China Mobile 3 days ago, when i got home i realized that it works with Sina Weibo instead of asking me for my google acount like all the previous Android phones i had before, i went to the store asked for a refund.. not happening. I paid 800 bucks for a phone i cant use.. so i went ahead and tried to solve the issue and root it, i followed a threat here every instruction but i messed up somehow and at the end i wasnt able to enter the recovery mode, so i couldnt install the rom i downloaded (this is the guide i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292 ) so being unable to do anything i went to a tech today, he charged me 100 bucks to "solve the problem" and he was able to S-OFF the phone and i was finally able to get into recovery mode with TWRP but he said he didnt have any rom cause the phone was too new.. so i came back home where i had the ones i downloaded from the link i posted above... followed the insutrctions and installed the rom, everything seemed to be fine but then when it rebooted, nothing happens, the phone is stuck on fastboot mode and wont load into the operating system, i have tried to reboot a million times, updated the kernel , updated the twrp... still nothing. i am in china and have been trying to find another tech.. no luck at all. can someone help me or give me ideas on what to do? i would really appreciate the help!

You should be able to just flash any GSM ROM unless the Chinese model is a different variant. You could have bricked it, never a good idea to flash incorrect ROM for a device.
May I ask what ROM did you flash and for what device?

What does "totally dead" mean? Any charge LED? Any response when connected to a computer.
Also, not a good idea to dig up a thread from 5 months ago, with limited relevance. The top post did different steps, and was stuck in fastboot, which doesn't sound the same as your situation.

[Q] ATT ZE500CL/Z00D Bricked After OTA Update - HELP (ZenFone 2E)

I have an ATT ZenFone 2E that I rooted successfully with this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3116531). Due to an error on my part(fat finger) I accidentally started the OTA update. Now when I try to boot the phone all I get is the AT&T logo/splash screen. I can get it to go into recovery mode and it also will connect via ADB. I have tried flashing the UL-ASUS_Z00D-WW-12.16.5.30-user.zip firmware via ADB fastboot but I get an error saying firmware is wrong carrier ATT (WW). Am I using the wrong firmware for AT&T? I have searched all over and cannot find any ZenFone 2 firmware other than WW, TW, and CN. Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Still no luck. I'm sure if we could find the AT&T firmware we would be able to recover. Unfortunately it appears it is not available on ASUS support and AT&T doesn't even provide firmware. Our only hope may be from a backup of another device that isn't bricked.
Does anybody know if we could possibly use the temporary CWM recovery used in the root method to flash to another ROM that is compatible with this device? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any details I can provide that would be helpful in finding a solution to recover this device? I've seen a few other people are having the same issue as I am and I would like to help them as well if I can get mine fixed. Thanks

Just out of curiosity have you tried running the xoa_unroot.bat while your device is in recovery/fastboot mode? Im not sure if it will help but I've found in other threads that to avoid soft bricking your device you must run the unroot prior to applying the OTA update. I'm sure it's probably too late but maybe worth a shot. I'm going to try it when I get home from work today.

Wait, are you bricked and tried using that as the fix? I cant post links but Check out Asus, They have Firmware, Kernel (havent checked but read it earlier today), and Boot Unlock that you can get right from (assuming you have an account) My Products.
Also... Has anyone used that method recently?
Cathaterfish said:
Sorry I will give credit to DavePmer for his guide in minute, but qouting him for some reason wouldnt let me post, even when I removed the links? anyways I'll edit and give credit I promise
So my phone is stuck on the Asus Logo, I downloaded all of this and followed the instructions all the way up to:
11) now the fun part. open your microsd card and check the folder TWRP\BACKUPS see if it has a folder named
01234567890123456789 if it does great if not, not a problem just copy all the system files from the folder
you extracted TWRP-zf2e-ATT_12.16.10.7 to your microsd card TWRP\BACKUP\01234567890123456789\ whatever folder you have next\ in other words, replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file.
Replace your system.ext4.win001 with mine, and replace system.ext4.win00.md5 with mine as well as system.ext4.win001.md5 when done safely dismount the microsd card.
It then occurred to me that i should be more careful this time around... This was from October and although I ran across links saying for the most part that this was a good shot for fixing my ZE500CL, Z00D or whatever. But things have changed since then and I was wondering if this is still the best/easiest/safe route. I learned pretty quick that over looking things like OTA/Root or in my case Making assumptions is a fast path to really doing a number on your phone. (Honestly I just started even giving thought to rooting my phone, just considered them back ups I kept in a box). I now have the itch to do this right so hoping to fix this and go about this the right way.
Thanks for any input.
Currently DLing RussaiNBeaR, went and bought a card reader/writer. I was going to Download the firmware, kernel and boot unlock tool but currently staying at a place where im getting 160kbs on my DL's. So if I can get away with davepmer's guide that would be great, or something other or smaller than downloading 4gbs on this Internet Connection.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I haven't completed this step yet because the wording kind of tripped me up. And I want to do this right. When he says "in other words replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file." and then goes on and 3 more to the list. Does that mean only copy and replace those 4? or does that include all system.(whatever).(extension) files? Im sure it sounds really dumb or noobish but the fact that the next step is using twrp to restore using system only makes me afraid to do this part wrong.
