htc inc s, brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu) . So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago!
Can someone figure out what is going on and help maybe...

yay i think that ebay china seller has fooled you
i am not sur but it must be like this;
the phone must be from indonesian market.
(there is no reason for which htc global support will lie!!)
the ebay china seller must have resold it to you.!!
and then you flashed a european RUU and thats the problem.
i will try to hunt for solution.
may be some expert will come up with solution
keep patience
:silly:
okay
i searched a bit on your problem
a guy on android forums has a similar problem
check; http://androidforums.com/htc-rezound/596891-ics-ota-bricked-my-new-unrooted-phone-help.html (if posting a link for information purpose is also not allowed by this forum please forgive me)
i dont think there is any solution!!
just in case asking; can you get into fastboot??
i dont think you can as bootloader doesnt start but asking it a s a last option

That probably is the problem. +1 I would find an official European RUU for the Incredible S and then run it. Or just unlock the bootloader and root it and live a long life with the Incredible S

O right nvm, unlocking bootloader is not possible because you need android debugging.... hmmm.... school has been wrecking me lately....
It might be possible to run an RUU though. Just have it boot and have it left in the state. Then try running the RUU. Of course I have never seen such a case as this and at this point, anything could be worth trying :/

ya that true
but i dont think that would work
if some way he is able to get fastboot atleast;
then everything can be done
but i think he will have to send it to company or ebay seller to demand for exchange

The only other thing you could try is to get the latest RUU from HTCDEV.com and extract the ROM.zip file from the /temp directory and then copy it to the SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip.
Then try rebooting using volume down and power and see what happens.

Why did you choose that RUU and ROM? This forum is for GSM version of the Incredible S. The Verizon version of the HTC Incredible 2 is a CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
From the sound of it, I think your SD card is probably the root of the issue. That would explain why the OTA failed. Have you tried taking the SD card out and booting the phone without it. That might abort the OTA and allow you to get back to the HBOOT menu.

Should never do what you did, that is to say, never disconnect the phone during a flashing process.
If you are unable to retrieve with different software available to you, then it is hard bricked.
We must change the physical ROM, that is to say change the motherboard, or do so in a specialized repair service.

If it is still under warranty, so it's good.
If you need provide an explanation, provide the simplest, such as "When I turn on my phone, I discovered like this", or "I made an update and reboot, I discovered like this, " etc.
As it is currently, the specialized services can not see that you tried to flash.

Were you able to solve the issue? I've got exactly the same problem.
Was trying to rollback from windows 10 technical preview, got the error message on windows phone recovery tool.
Snapped the cable in a hurry and now stuck with a dead phone.

Don't panic
Hi,
please plug your device to your computer. Will it be discovered in Device Manager? If so, is it Nokia Bootmanager or Qualcomm USB Somewhat?
If it is showing the Nokia logo, just retry flashing with WDRT.
Otherwise, look for Lumia Flash Tools. Switch device on holding vol-up or connect it holding vol-up to your computer. When it shows flash and cog wheel, you can flash it with Lumia Flash Tools. You have to select the .ffu file which was downloaded by WDRT.
If the device is recognized as Qualcomm somewhat, I experienced, that after a night without battery it got back to the red Nokia screen and I could retry flashing it with WPInternals.
Best whishes!

Newb here. My HTC One M7 is hard bricked. LED doesn't turn on when I plug the charger into it. Tried holding pwr and vol-down, and all three buttons at once for two minutes. Nothing and I don't know what to do so I came here. I searched for threads on how to fix it but all I'm finding are fixes for bricks that were caused by rooting. I haven't rooted mine- it's still stock except for a SIM unlock I got about a year ago- so I don't know if those fixes are applicable to me or not.
So, my questions are, are there any threads that might be able to help me? If not, can anyone tell me wtf I can do to fix this? I don't want to end up sending it off to get repaired since I'm out of warranty at this point.
Edit: I should add that I have a Mac, not a PC. I'm out of warranty and I didn't get insurance. I'm probably SOL but figured I'd ask anyway.

So at this point, I've created a usb boot stick with ubuntu, so I got that going for me. Next step, where do I find the appropriate package referenced in step 1 of Dexter's steps?
Now at this point, I've been able to extract the package and run the revive.sh command on the terminal. However, I get an error message saying that a bricked "device can't be found, check connections, aborting." Any advice?

I did the procedure based on the stock rom flash D405 with img extracted files. After that the only active device the display if I put to load without the battery, which displays the battery with a question mark. The device does not enter download mode, does not go into recovery, does not display anything, as if completely dead. Does anyone have aware and know any solution to the problem? Note: I've tried the LG flahs tools, it does not detect the device.
You have probably the worst case of them all. I suggest you to take your phone to warranty and see if they can replace it (because there probably isn't any way to fix it). If your warranty is void, then, I'm afraid, you will have to get a new device. I have had this issue myself, and it was solved only by replacing whole internals of the phone. Good thing that I still had my warranty, so it didn't cost anything. Good luck.

Yes. I tried to flash a ROM (which requires an unlocked bootloader), but for some reason the bootloader wasn't actually unlocked, and flashing a ROM caused the device to be bricked. This is probably what you would call a hard-brick.
In my case, replacement took a little more than a week. But this could differ from country to country.

Exactly. Since the device cannot be turned on, I don't think they have any way of checking if it was rooted or tampered with in any way. So your best bet is to just play dumb and tell them your phone doesn't boot up. That helped me to get it fixed for free.

hard reset does not remove all traces of root. There is RCT checking. u can be sure that have no traces of root when RCT was reset. On kit kat we have chance to reset it without reflashing. But on 5.0 only reflash

Try flashing stock rom from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
You may need to become a member(it's free) to download. Once you download the rom for your region and device, unzip the file and flash the .tar.md5 file in odin

EMMC Brick Bug takes another phone down. Unfortunately the EMMC is dead. You can try and take it to a specialized repair shop and have the EMMC replaced. But it would probably be very expensive. Download mode works because the SoC actually boots for download mode, EMMC is not accessed. Nand erase all is useless in this case, and Kies doesn't know what to do.

It will work normally, but make sure to take an i9300 motherboard for the normal S3 and an i9305 motherboard for the i9305. And also make sure to not damage anything. And not loose any screw (lost one already and regret it).
The IMEI will be different (if you have the box) but other than that, make sure the motherboard is tested, works 100% and doesn't have any problem.
Don't forget to push the tanks button just in case

Very tricky, may not work and it could possibly blacklist both the IMEIs. Generally, IMEI copying is done using specialized programmes, but it is not generally both allowed, practical and in some parts, or global, ILLEGAL.
