Brick HTC ONE S

Hello friends.
I have a problem after upgrading to JB.
HTC One (s4) Europe2.31.401.5 radio 1.06es].
TWRP v2.3.1.0 hboot 1.14.0002 REELOCKED
So in your example >>> the body of a RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5.exe
Loader was opened to the right of the root and rekoveri TWRP, SuperCID (units).
Received notification of the new firmware. Battery is 70% +.
What to do:
1. Closed the loader through mcOneSToolsXE 3.5.1
2. Reflash RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5.exe.
3. Received notification of the new firmware.
4. Start the installation.
5. The body has become a brick.
6. Set Ubunti - updated it.
7. Download the necessary files to the root folder.
8. In the terminal window, went through the root to the "Home" for breaching operations "instructions."
9. Brick sees Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode).
10. In the second terminal window, I see / Dev / sda / dev/sda1 / dev/sda2 / dev/sda5 / dev/sda6 / dev/sda7 ... manipulation of the fishing ... 12 ... did not work ...

One terminal window
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05c6: 9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d: c050 Logitech, Inc. RX 250 Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root forelock

2 terminal window
uaman @ Mars: ~ $ ls / dev / sd *
/ Dev / sda / dev/sda1 / dev/sda2 / dev/sda5 / dev/sda6 / dev/sda7

May already have some solutions for this problem?
That you can recommend?
Thank you.

Same here, after the firmware update the phone became a brick and I cannot even see the partitions.
I think somebody is screwing our phones. Not funny at all in christmas time.
I just hope we could fix the issue and not buy another phone.

I've already decided to send it for service from HTC.

Yea me aswell. I can't see the partitions either and can't simply pull it out of dload. I suspect the update corrupted our bootloader, but there is no way to know for sure at this point. There have been some cases on other phones devs managed to create a work around. But I don't that's even possible with s-on and locked bootloader.

From what i read on the internet most phones who cant be pulled out of dload (if it ends up there accidentally) they will replace the mainboard. Because it's either a corrupted boatloader or a hardware issue (wide variety from short circuit, charging/battery issues, or fried parts). I don't know if that's because of the man-hours or staff education on the local tech centers. But either way our warranty should cover it although the unlocking I guess. Though I'm not sure if our imei will pop up in a database from unlocking our bootloader via htc-dev.

I wouldn't even tell them you were upgrading. Just write them it doesn't turn on anymore.

Anyone else noticed the device flapping in its states before it reaches QDL mode?

Reset it from QDL, watch modules getting loaded, unloaded, loaded, unloaded .. until it (sometimes :p) comes back to QDL.

// If there is a developer out there with a very risky idea: Just let us know .. I don't care if it gets even more bricked ;P

Add me to that list :p

Just sent HTC a VERY nice E-Mail, explaining why they suck and that I want a ****ING new Device.
Cant wait for their response tomorrow, might call my lawyer too, just in case they go the "OH, your device is unlocked" road.

    Hi All,

    There are more and more reports coming in from people who ended up with a dead/bricked phone after the JellyBean Update 4.1.1 , 3.16.401.8 OTA. As you connect it to your PC you will soon find out it's in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

    The purpose of this threat is to see how many people are affected, what people have done to attempt to recover their phone, and to find a possible solution (this chance seems rather small though).

    There are alot of post about this in the JellyBean Speculation/News/Discussion threat, starting from page 157.

    There are 2 threats about it in Q&A:
    One S in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode
    My HTC to really died

    Reported attempts to recover:
    QHSUSB_DLOAD Fix by team Unlimited
    Unbricking HTC devices with the QHSUSB_DLOAD issue tutorial by kgs1992
    Step 3 (and some others) from [TUT] Downgrade/Unbrick Ville S4
    Another HTC one V recover guide where i can't find the link for.

    Please report here if you have this issue. Please mention your CID, in what country you downloaded the OTA, the software version you upgrade from and the hboot version.

    Also any new ideas to recover our phones our self are welcome!

    My phone:
    2.31 Unbranded Europe
    1.14 Hboot
    Downloaded in The Netherlands
    1111111 Supercid

    Hello, can some one of you plaese send me his bricked One S? I live in Germany,so a german person would be good:
    Contact me on tecardo@gmail.com or here on this forum.
    If the device doesn't work anymore, i will send it back as it is, and also will send back if it works again: I WILL NOT START PHONE, NOR WILL I READ ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR PRIVATE DATA. You can get this with a letter if you want.
    I only need a device with this error. I will wipe Phone if wanted.


    Thanks.

    My phone is bricked too

    Orginal CID was HTC_203 (maybe), not branded by telecom company - France
    but changed to 11111111

    I had Stock Recovery and relocked bootloader and flash the 2.31 RUU
    1
    So does that mean if I run JB on HTC__001 CID it'll work ? Though I've T-Mob version of Jelly Bean I want WWE RUU to run.

    No, t mobile has different MID. You need to s-off for that.

    HTC_One_S | S-OFF | ViperOneS_2.2.0 | Black-Blue_Sense_Theme | ElementalX_4.2
