Root [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF -Beta Release

Can someone please help I think my phones salvagable I can't get it reconized but sone times when I pkug it in the qhsusb dload message comes up asks me to install drivers but can't find them I did everything by the book except used a rooted stock rom phone is black nothing but I'm not sure if or even I can bring it back does some one know and explain in detail I'm not new to rooting but new to this phone and trying to fix this thank you
 
Can someone please help
What guide are you using and how far did you get? There is no "universal" fix to recover from the "qhsusb_dload" state.

You probably need to try one of the methods in the ROM/Data Recovery section of the troubleshooting guide for JuopunutBear if you were attempting the wire trick when the phone stopped working.

Yes I used the the jmz vm shooter odex.zip I was attempting the wire trick then I got the qhsusb dload message so I tried again it was on the arrow screen got the same message then it went black the phones non responsive ill plug it in to comp and that found new hardware comes up and it attempts to download dribers for qhsusb but cant find them can I push something to the phone to try and start it back up? If so how thx
 
TaiPan, are you saying that you used a rooted stock ROM?


Ramjet, did you notice this?
I'm more interested in what he was trying to do and how far he got.

Many users, including myself, have been successful doing the wire trick with a rooted stock ROM. At this point I'd like to find out if anyone has done it with an unrooted stock ROM after flashing the RUU as indicated by the current unlimited.io procedure for the JuopunutBear wire trick.

I got to the wire trick thought I did it then kept on getting countdown and said couldn't find adb or fastboot drivers I'm pretty sure that's it
 
Also tried the methods on io website nada and tried to get ahold of them no one was there
Keep trying both of those things. If you were attempting the wire trick when this happened the phone should be recoverable if those procedures are executed correctly and you have the proper connection to your computer.

I understand your priority level as we have a forum member with a major issue at hand. I just wanted you to notice this, and keep it in the back of your mind. I'd be interested in how the J-Bear folks react if he ever can get a hold of them on IRC.

Yea, that will be interesting.

I didn't mean to sound negative about your comment but we already know that the wire trick can be done successfully with a rooted stock ROM. It will be interesting to see how the unlimited.io staff handle it if he's able to contact them via IRC since I wasn't able to get an answer if they consider having the RUU ROM rooted a problem or not.

So I kinda screwed stuff up I redownloaded the juopunut program the one that has my img stuff is in my recycle bin and I can't get it out cause I named the new one the same name can I reboot my computer or will I lose all the info in the first file in my recycle bin? I'm sorta no really in need of some tech help thx

Have we had anyone do it since the rules changed? (I haven't paid close enough attention)
When did you notice that they changed? Was it that day you pointed them out to me or earlier?

EDIT:

I gotta get some sleep. TaiPan, I hope you can get this resolved.
 
yes im tired if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated im gonna plug it into the wall and try again tomorrow thx again regardless I figured out the original file bit so I have my backups now but can't get my device recognized only the qhsusb dload driver install message comes up when I plug my phone in and I tried all the trouble shooting steps at the j-bear site to no avail

Ramjet,

I think I may have made a mistake. I decided to go and look at the rules as they are written on the Unlimited website. A visual reminder is what I needed...

I think perhaps those rules were in place when I did S-OFF. I must not have fully understood the implications of RUU at the time, so I may have glossed over that part. When they say this:

Verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)

I didn't realize that Stock Rooted meant Stock, with root access. I may have thought (assumed) that was the actual name of a ROM. Since I clearly wasn't on that ROM, that step didn't really resonate with me.

I can't be 100% certain really, but I do think that these rules were in place when I did S-OFF. I did it via flashing SU rather than JMZ...though that "shouldn't" make a difference.

If they REALLY want you to not have super user access during this procedure, they should perhaps elaborate a little on that rule I quoted. A newbie may not get all the implications of what being on the Stock RUU means.

If you recall, I didn't get prompted to approve Control Bear with SU permissions, nor was I given the option to install the 1.57 JBear HBOOT. This alone implies to me that I did the procedure with the newer method, and thus I must assume that the rules were laid out, and I didn't follow them 100%. I am glad that noting went wrong with my procedure.



TaiPan,

If you decide to go back to Unlimited and get on IRC, I am confident that someone will be there during normal hours. Last night, you got on pretty late, and that's probably why nobody was there to help you.

That being said, it's been well documented on this forum that the people at Unlimited expect you to follow their rules and procedures to the letter. Any deviation will likely result in them scolding you to some degree. Since you were on JMZ, you technically didn't follow their rules. I don't know if this means they will refuse to help you, or if they will help you, but make it seem like you killed their kittens. I wouldn't let that stop you from asking for help though. Also, which OS are you using for Windows? If it's not 32 bit Windows 7, then they'll scold you for that too. Again, don't let this stop you from asking for help. The worst thing they can do is say NO.

Totally agree.

I've helped many people that haven't followed my guide on XDA exactly as written and believe that's a responsibility for anyone that offers that type of tool. Some people aren't going to understand it completely, others are going to choose to do it another way and some are just going to have problems that can't be controlled, but everyone deserves help getting their phone back in working order.

Guys,

I just s-offed and now im in a boot loop at the juopunut bear screen.

what do I do from here?


Not sure exactly what you mean. It sounds like maybe you didn't get s-off yet. If you miss the timing of the wire trick, you have to run the software again. basically keep trying until you get the timing right.

Here is a video that will help with the timing:
How to Get S-Off on HTC Evo 3D using Wire Trick! – [Juopunutbear S-OFF] | HTC Evo 4G Hacks!

It will just keep restarting back to the juopunutbear screen until you get it.

Control bear keeps telling me its already completed the s-off.

Afterwards my phone reboots and goes back into bootloader as if there is no rom installed.

Hmm. Okay, check out the troubleshooting section on the unlimited.io site. Here is a link:
Unlimited.IO

I think that can probably hep you in this situation!

Out of curiosity, were you on a custom rom when going s-off?

thanks but not today im not in any kinda of mood to be scolded i think ill try a few more times and just return it to radio shack and act stupid i cant get the device to get recognized and im fricking tired and pissed and i dont think ill be getting another htc device this has been a lesson do your homework when buying a new phone you might see me again or maybe in the d2vzw forums bye for now. P.S thx for all your help it was truly appreciated!
 
Hang in there dude, you have everything pretty well in hand as far as having the hard and software that's required. We just have to figure out what the small item is that will let us turn it around. :confused:
OB
