UPDATE: Phone is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I've tried HTC Unbricking Project but it didn't detect my phone. Also I've tired the Ultimate Recovery tool Unbrick and it also didn't help.
I guess the only solution is JTAG / New phone.


Hello,
I think I'm in a real big trouble.

background story:
I was on ARHD 7.3, S-off, Firmware 3.33 Uni. Suddenly after about a month of use, phone started to lose signal. I could recover the signal only with a reboot (hidden menu options and airplane mode didn't help).
I thought it was a problem with the ROM so I've installed an Official RUU RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.153 after installing 3.33.401.x firmware. This didn't solve the problem I had, signal still was going off few times a day and each time I had to reboot. Furthermore, I've lost my IMEI Number, I got a new IMEI number 355195000000017 which I googled and found more people with that number. However the IMEI change didn't interrupt anything.
Realizing that RUU didn't help I've decided to go back to Mike's ROM ARHD 7.3. (after unlocking bootloader again and etc..)

Then the problem started:
com.google.process.gapps and acore.process.android and basically all the phone started to crash. Nothing helped, I've tried to reflash ROM, reflash Google Package, Nothing. Suddenly, the phone was bricked. won't charge, won't boot.
However a very strange thing happened. Suddenly I could boot Into HBOOT (maybe the phone didn't had enough battery power before).
But the HBOOT was getting stuck, I couldn't do anything So I've used the Ultimate Recovery Tool and downgraded my HBOOT. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653777)

The Problem now:
1. I can go to 4EXT recovery but it won't let me flash any ROM, installing is aborted.
2. HBOOT won't let me flash any recovery, boot, etc saying permission denined.
3. Rebooting bootloader doesn't work, it goes just to a black screen with backlight on.
4. I've tried to change firmware with PG58IMG it won't update saying hboot partition update failed failed-pu
5.I've tried to install the previous RUU @fastboot but it says battery power below 30%. I've checked the voltage it was around 3800~ and in the recovery it had like 50% so I don;t think problem lies here.

Information about HBOOT:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.49.0007 <--- Bad Bad HBOOT, I know I did a mistake here. This Hboot is for Evo 3D GSM.
RADIO-11.24.3504.31_M
OPENDSP- BLAH BLAH BLAH
eMMC-boot

I don't think I have SuperCID. when I type the command fastboot getvar cid and getvar all I see the CID number is 0418.
However, when I type fastboot oem readcid I get 11111111.

I've tried to change to superCID but again, permission denined.

I'm thinking maybe if I could somehow change the superCID then I could update the firmware and then I could run the RUU?
Or can I somehow via linux box flash a different HBOOT?


Thank everyone who read this long story
I would be truly grateful for anyone who tries to help me.

failed-pu

man is a serious problem AFAIK
did you try to reflash ruu.exe or install 3.33 universal firmware again?
did they show you failed-pu again?

edit: what hboot version is that?:eek:

edit 2: why did you use a tool from htc evo 3D forum?
since you are on S-OFF and supercid you could use any ruu.exe you wanted including GB's one
that would take care also of your hboot version(gingerbread ruu->hboot downgrade)

Yes, Flashing RUU still giving me the below 30% battery (I've charged all night).
And Installing Firmware 3.33 gives me fail-pu

Idk, I saw ultimate Recovery tool, thought it would help since nothing worked..
I do have S-Off but I don't have SuperCID (my CID num is very strange only 4 digits now).

I've tried that already but it didn't work.
./fastboot oem writecid 11111111
... INFOStart Verify: -1
INFOerase sector 65504 ~ 65535 (32)
INFOemmc_erase(1852): sd_write_sector failed!
OKAY
