[Q] Bricked Desire Z - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've got Desire Z with latest Visionary rom. Everything worked fine till today. My som played Angry Birds and suddenly phone turned off... I was unable to turn it on - pull & put back battery doesn't work. When I connect charger - nothing, unable to boot, black screen, charging led not working. I connected DZ via usb to my notebook - it found QHSUSB_DLOAD device and nothing more. I read somewhere at xda, that it could be burned motherboard. Any ideas to bring it back to work ?
Greetings - Tom

Hi,
yesterday my phone went to restart. Unfortunately it shows only black screen with phone with red triangle than I pull and put back battery and try to start again. I got only logo htc and nothing more. Than I tried restart phone more times and now it not response to power button. I get only black screen. If I connect tel to pc it found device QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Interesting is that i played Angry Birds few hours before scrash.

I bought this phone yesterday and it was already broken. Phone dont start and if I plugged them to PC it defined as QHSUSB_DLOAD device.
Previous owner said that phone was finally broken (from died memory chip to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode) when it lying on the table with battery.

fried emmc is a prdoblem with certain chips on these phones. do you knoew if it rooted? boot into bootloader (hold volume down while powering on) and write down everything on that screen

In QHSUSB_DLOAD mode phone cant boot into bootloader, unfortunately..
I ask previous owner about root, will see what he says
There people solved same problem with sensation but no solution for DZ granted

Phone is s-on without root

unfortunetly if you can access bootloader or recovery there is nothing that can be done other than jtag.

bootloader and recovery has no available currently. I know that a long ago..
Do you know how repair via jtag or via qhsusb_dload mode?

as far as I know no one has made a way to unbrick with the qhsusb_dload for the vision, I only looked into that project once when I got a doubleshot for my girlfriend, just to see what its all about. I believe there are only a limited number of devices that dexter (I think that's his name) support, the vision not being one of them. also this will only help under certain circumstance. if you have a fried emmc than you can't read or write to it and I don't believe even jtag would help. but not having access to bootloader or recovery just makes it nearlly imposible do anything.
now there are people who have the knowhow and equipment to jtag the vision, and they probably charge in the $50 range. this *may* get you access to your bootloader and then of course a full stock rom/radio/spl/etc would be forced to you phone but again without knowing what caused the brick it is hard to say

Thanks.
May i ask dumb question? bootloader is stay in emmc? or another storage?
For example, desire s with died emmc setup to boot from microSD and it works!
I see no problem with replacement emmc but boot from sd is easier if bootloader alive, of course
And jtag-board with soft is so high price..

yeah the bootloader partition is in the emmc, if that is just borked (not a fried emmc) jtag will fix it. you can't boot from sd because you have nothing working, cathedral (I think that's who it was) discovered how to boot off sd in these situations, and yes that works with the g2/dz as well, but even then you need a somewhat working recovery
jtag is probably about the same as a new logic board, maybe a little cheaper. but if you can't find someone to do it for like 20~30 bucks then buy a new motherboard for like 60~80. or learn how to do jtag yourself, the equipment is rather cheap (sometimes can make your own cable) and the software I believe is free. someday I plan to learn myself (got a couple dead g1s lying around) but for now I'm no help in that regard

if bootloader hold in emmc.. so i really want to know what is written in cpu-memory)

I believe all partitions are held in the emmc, the cpu is just like the command center and decides what to do and when to do it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

above CPU exists another flash-drive but i dont know anything about data located in this storage.

sorry I couldn't tell you, haven't looked it to this much but to my understanding is that all partitions are held in the emmc. I guess its possible that the larger system parition is located in a seperate nand but I don't think so. I'm sure a little googling will turn up a breakdown of all compenents on the logic board if your interested and where memory is alocated

Replacing emmc solved problem

Hey glad to hear! Did you replace the whole board or just the chip?

[Q] Bricked G2

First off let me just say, I already know this is most likely a full brick with no chance of recovery.
Anyway, when my sister got a G2 a while back I perm-rooted and s-off'd it for her. I later flashed the CM 6 RC and that's what she's been on this whole time.
Apparently her new boyfriend is "tech savvy" and has the same phone, so he asked if she wanted to be updated to CM 7 and gave it a shot without letting me know first.
He bricked it, I'm almost certain of it. He said he tried to update it to the newest radio via adb and got an error saying something like "memory is full" or "cant write, no more space" or something like that. He then turned it off so he could "try again", but from then on it wouldn't turn on anymore -__-
I know that a bad radio flash leads to a brick so I'm guessing there's nothing i can do for her, but I've never bricked any of my devices so i thought i'd ask to be sure. As of right now, when i press the power button the screen stays off. No images, no lights, no nothing. I've tried holding the power button + volume down/up and nothing. It simply does nothing. The charging light still turns on if i plug it into the wall charger but nothing happens when i connect it to a computer.
Is there anything I can do to help her besides telling her to get a new one?
Sounds like a brick to me, did he try flashing the ENG. Hboot ? If he screwed something up while doing this the result would be exactly what you are describing.

have you tried pulling the battery then re-seating it and booting into recovery?
Also take out battery and hold power as you put battery back in. Worth a shot

he has the same phone right... TO ME what i see is... her boyfriend has a new bricked g2... and you sister has a new g2 with CM7 installed on it... so much for tech savvy... if i remenber right the best and only way to flash radio is through fastboot..

This guy has it right your sister has a new G2 with cm7 and he has nice expensive paper weight tell him thats what he gets for ****ing with stuff he knows nothing about
My LEDs don't even lit up when I plug it into the wall charger. Into the PC neither. I do get a hardware detected notification though, but Windows 7 isn't able to find the correct driver (for a what's apparently called QHSUSB_DLOAD). I have all HTC and Android drivers installed since I have the Android SDK and HTC Sync+drivers installed.

USB brick on HTC Desire HD the correct thing I'm on about?

I'm looking mainly if someone can point me in the right direction regarding an issue.
My phone I got off a mate doesn't ask me when I plug it in via USB what I want to do. I understand there are settings that I have changed for it to ask me what to do. Charging works fine with phone off and booted.
I have tryed cables that I know are for data as well as power ( checked both computers and with a kindle and gf's cyanagenmod phone both work.)
Some might say my mate tryed to root it. I have asked him and he only did one over the air update. He has no gain from lying as he said he would pay for repair( replace ment of the USB board as I belive the phone has a upper and lower board.) Trying to save money (hes a mate and I'm not going to mess him about.) and a save a repair that might not be needed or even fix the issue.
I have cleaned the port with a small brush and cables have a normal "snug" fit.
Futher to research on forums I think I might have a USB bricked phone. At one point I unmounted my SD card while USB dev mode on and I got " USB not reconized". At this point I unplugged the phone to then install drivers. Drivers did not work. Now you may think broken but my experince says if the connecter was broken that it wouldn't even charge as I belive the outer pins are the power.
When I look up desire hd USB brick online I get only results for desire phones not desire hd. With desire issues seems that the phone needs to be rooted barr one walkthough that's once again geared towards non hd desire.
My points are-
Am I correct to look at this as my phone could be USB bricked or does this issue only affect the desire model of phone. Belive it could be caused by the ota update.
Has anyone else had this issue? If you got the phone fixed did a lower board replacement correct it?
Any links to further reading or solutions would be great help. I feel I'm failing to describe my issue in the correct terms if it is indeed a USB brick.

My understanding im am using "stock" HTC software on my phone and it never has been rooted or had a custom rom installed (yet - fingers crossed ).

I also think i dont have a recovery, as when I do a boot holding power and volume down and click recovery its loads for a bit and then shows a phone with a red ! next to it.
Just to learn, I am correct from what I have read that the kernel is just like a modern OS kernel for a laptop/desktop. Its the part that makes the software and hardware talk?
When you got the phone, had the phone gone through a data wipe (factory reset)?
...And you've tried using the USB connection via another computer as well?
...And in the settings, under 'Connect to PC' you have 'Ask' checked?
The phone had a factory reset done via android settings menu and when you hold power and vol down.
Checked settings and it says ask.
No dice on another pc double checked the cable with kindle and data transfer was ok.

[Q][Urgent] Wildfire Died?

Well I rooted my htc wildfire and overclocked it.
Everything seemed to work fine for a few months
and then...
I got a text message, and I responded to it, but I did also see that my battery was almost empty, then after responding, I putted my phone in my pocket, Then like 15 minutes later, I looked at my phone and it didn't do anything anymore, so I thought, my battery ran out, nothing to worry about then I got home, plugged in my phone... led didn't turn on... phone didn't charge. I was like damn, maybe my battery died? So I went outside to someone who also has a Wildfire and asked if I could try his battery, We switched batteries and my phone still didn't work
Does anyone know how i can fix this? my phone doesn't respond to ANYTHING I've tried
These symptoms are a bad omen.
Does it pick anything up plugging it into a computer?

Rooted and overclocked, I don't think my warranty is still valid?
Yes your warranty is void. But, if you were on a Stock / Sense based ROM, you *may* be lucky and the service guys may not notice.

But maybe they won't start repairing it and give me just a new one, (since it's more expensive to repair the phone then to give me a new one i guess) and then they'll won't notice either?
also, if I do bring back my phone and they find out about it, will they charge me for the repairing costs? even if I don't want it to be repaired if it will cost me? (I already bought an iphone now, but sometimes i just want to experiment back with my android xd)
I really can't answer that mate. Policies vary widely across stores and nations. But, don't hold your breath for a new one, I think that case is extremely unlikely. I guess your best bet is to give them the phone, and have them contact yo regarding it's situation, repairs, and costs (if any) after their preliminary inspection / assessment. Only after their assessment, you give the go ahead to repair / replace (If free ).

HTC and Apple don't roll the same way.
Apple's products aren't even worth repairing, thus they don't bother doing that.
it might be an lcd problem this thing also happened to me...
I know quite a few friends of mine who had similar issues with other HTC devices and they just went to the shop and they were given new ones in a short time. usually guys at the customer service are ignorant and don't check for anything, even if in your situation it should be impossbile to know which rom you're mounting.
my advice is go there and have a brand new wildfire, nobody will discover it's without warranty
Mabye its static?
Once my brothers netbook had a static build up causing a problem i dunno if the same rules apply but try: take out battery -> hold power on for around 30secs, If that didnt work try getting into bootloader holding vol down and power on when your phones off
Hope my ideas worked and that your wildfires better
I have same problems
When i trying root my HTC device ... there are something wrong... so it can't boot after rooting.
I think that it was bricked.
How to unbrick HTC Wildfire? Pls, help me resolv this problem

Recovery from QHSUSB DLOAD

Lately my HTC One shut off while typing on it and it was dead.
Holding power for 10 seconds (and any of the combination with the volume buttons) did not help.
And when you connect it to the power does not even had the red led indicating that is charging.
If you connect it to a PC you get prompted to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers.
So the phone is dead but not really completely dead.
Clearly that QHSUSB_DLOAD is a Qualcom hook that could be use to debug and probably re-flash the phone. The question is what is this tool and how do you use it?
I think there is some sort of standard way to recover across phone (maybe not all with a Qualcomm but I am sure that the protocol is the same among a few processors).
There are a few examples out there:
[UNBRICK] HTC Unbricking Project - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886
DLOADTool - https://github.com/posixninja/DLOADTool
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/ultimate-cure-to-the-qhsusb_dload-of-mi2-s.20567/
And a lot of info about HTC internal here: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision
So I wonder if anybody here has some idea about the tools and how to use to resurrect HTC phones and in particular the HTC One (M7).
I think the same thing happened to my phone. Died at a random time, wouldn't start up or respond to anything. Verizon sent me a new phone and even took the phone back no questions asked. Mine was S-OFF and everything. (though I never mentioned that)

A tool must exist. It is just not publicly available. That is how HTC fixes the phones. And, as I said, there are tools distributed on these forums for other phones that are able to operate in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
From what I can tell is that driver will only work for the MI2 and MI2s. It is utterly useless for the one. If you're willing to spend some cash you could get a USB otg and a Java card. It is the only way I have heard of being able to write to the device outside of android in the way you are wanting.

Sorry to hear that, but that's a brick, when it says that the phone is pretty much done for. I doubt it was just a restart that did that, there are threads that talk about bricks, search for them. But once it shows up as that's it's unrecoverable as far as I know

Just got a friends phone that did this same thing. He doesn't do anything custom with this phone. He is the average consumer the likes android.
What I was told about what happened:
Phone had 80% battery and just shut off. Tried to turn it on and only a black screen(appeared to not turn on at all). He tried charging it over night and still same deal.
I just got the phone from him and plugged it into my pc. PC sees it as on, and device manager is showing two devices:
QHSUSB_Bulk
I guarantee there was nothing custom done to this phone. I'll keep researching as I just started and found this thread. This does feel very brickish, but the fact that this happened to the average joe just using the stock phone is alarming.

If it's due to software it can be fixed by JTAG (not sure if available for m8) or by Linux if partition table is not corrupt (you can see all partitions and write to them in qhsusb_dload mode), otherwise could be a fried chip possibly by overheating.
Many phones can overheat when heavily used while charging, like 3d gaming or console emulators.
Note: official HTC service center will never fix bricks like this they just replace the main board. Can be under warranty coverage depending on warranty and device condition.

here is an old thread regarding enumerating partitions in linux , it worked for htc one xl and evo hd.
i'd give it 2% success rate given that your emmc chip isn't fried and you have partitions from working phone .
good luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966850 (you will have to replace any one xl files or partitions)
another bad news, seems jtag(regular method) is not possible on m8. You can sell your bricked phone on swappa junkyard(or disassembled on ebay as parts) if you lose hope.
