Ive been using the virtous fusion rom, overclocked the rom to about 1.2 the highest. Cat, dropped the phone last night. worked afterwards. this morning the phone screen wouldnt turn on. charged the phone to max, took out the batt a million times. nothing. seen the actual screen maybe twice from doing the above things. dont know what to do. currently in DR.
Same problem as this one?

Yes exactly same problem, without the whole part of that user sending his phone back to htc, and wanting to brick his phone. I want to get it fixed. thought maybe i did something wrong by overclocking it. I dont know and I paid too much for this phone to just throw it away. Im in dr, without a tmobile plan, and calling htc or tmobile is out of the question because I live in DR, and brought this phone off craigslist. Avid xda-dev reader. willing to do everything to fix my phone back to how it was!
lol just realized you where the one who had the problem. what did you end up doing?
Warranty the bugger or send it to a phone repair store.
IM IN SCHOOL IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, just gave the phone to a dominican phone repair shop, told me to come back in the morning, dont expect them to fix it tho
WOW, i have the same problem. Please some1 help!!
First off being in DR or anywhere else, reguardless of where you purchased it, its still technically under htc warrently. The reason is the phone has not been out for over a year, so all they are all still under warrently. Just call htc and say you bought it cash at tmobile store when it came out in usa, and have since moved to DR. They will have you send it to be replaced.
Before you send it in, follow my post here to unroot:

If you don't want to do that and fix it yourself your going to need a new LCD screen, not digitizer.
Goodluck, let me know how it goes.
Hey guys! My phone's wifi antenna seems to be borked. Won't turn on (stuck at: "turning on wifi...", but never goes on), and it's causing my phone to reboot over and over and over again without stopping! Horrible! I tried to get Samsung to send me a replacement, but they won't because it was made in Korea. Anyone know what I can do? Has anyone had success getting a replacement GSM phone made by Samsung?
Please help! I'm really stuck! Thanks!
did you buy it off a website? Contact the website..

How do you know it's a hardware defect? Did you try reflashing the stock images?

We need more info. Are you rooted? What rom u on? Have you tried to use adb to go back to stock?

i was rooted when it started rebooting, so I went back to stock and the same thing happened. I'm 100% stock everything right now, locked bootloader and it wont stop rebooting. I don't really care to solve the problem of the rebooting, I just want to know how others here were able to send it in to Samsung and get a replacement (GSM model).
Anyone know?
Thye have told me they won't fix my UK supported GSM nexus also.
I would have to send it to the UK facility to get it repaired or replaced, but that facility will NOT accept shipment to/from the USA.... So I would have to find someone in the UK to accept the phone, send it it, receive it, and send it back to me.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. That is so sucky! I will never buy a phone off contract again!
buying a canadaian phone outright would probably be a pretty "normal" warrenty experiance...
Where did you purchase your Nexus? Try contacting the reseller to see if they can handle the warranty or repair for you.
Next time go with Negri Electronics if plan on purchasing another international phone.

I had the same problem but luckily I purchased my phone from Negri and well they have shipped it to Samsung for repair but I am without my Nexus for going on two weeks now and it could be up to 4 weeks before I see it again. But atleast they were kind enough to get it repaired for me.
OP tell us where you bought the phone from... it matters. Samsung (usually) won't process warranty claims if you imported a grey market device. You have to contact the site you purchased from to initiate the warranty claim.
This is why its so important to choose your importer carefully based on how they handle warranties.
Hey guys
To make a long story short, I just had a Bell Optimus LTE that's doesn't boot. When I plug it to the charger or the PC all it does is blinking its soft buttons about 15 times. Tried to enter download mode but no dice... Guy who sold to me said he bricked it when he was trying to upagrade it to ICS.
I suspect it to be hard bricked since all what I see on my Device Manger is "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
I did a search on the board and I found 3 or 4 other cases looking for answers...
Question is can I save it or I just bought a paperweight?
I'm willing to paypal some money if it can be recovered
On a side note the guy who sold it to me didn't have to bill even if he had the box and all the included accessories. Will LG canada take it under warranty?
i would try to see if bell will send it in for repair...it's worth a shot, right?
if not maybe a seasoned developer might be able to help you out

Yup, it's hard bricked. I had the same problem with my Nitro. LG USA fixed it for me, so Canada should fix it too.

If you've Hard bricked your Virgin Mobile/Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2-S5 and you live in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, you're more than welcome to come on by and try my jigs. I have 5 different jigs purchased from different sources that are used to Unbricked, hard bricked Virgin Mobile/Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2-S5 cell phones. Totally free.. no charge... just contact me via email at [email protected]
These jigs are used to force the phone into download mode where you can use odin to restore the phone.. Hard bricked means that the phone does absolutely nothing when powered on. No lights or anything at all. The jigs can restore your hard bricked Galaxy S2-S5. I purchased them while to diagnose my own phone issues. My motherboard ended up going bad. Remember, you can always purchase a new motherboard for your Galaxy phone from ebay or other sources for about $50-$75. Just make sure it has a clean ESN if you do..
I offer these because one can't be afraid of failure..
Check out amazon.com and ebay.com for various jigs for galaxy cell phones. it's a good place to start a search for a jig for your model phone..
