What I may have done wrong: I was trying to go back to stock because I couldn't get CWM to mount to the SD card. So I figured I would start from scratch.
I opened up ODIN, went into download mode, selected the PIT file and selected the TAR file. The thing was though, is that when I selected the PIT file, it automatically selected "Re-Partition Device". I didn't notice this until after I pressed Start. It ended up failing very shortly after it started, so I figured I'd try again without Re-Partioning. I selected the same files, and it flashed but it flashed weirdly. It only took a few seconds and then it said it was done but I remember it saying something like 0/0 completed or something.
SO NOW, when I connect it to my computer, it doesn't recognize the device at all. The phone is totally black. I've tried taking out the battery, sim card, connecting USB with both +/- pressed down and it still doesn't recognize it.
The worst thing about all of this? This was my brother's Christmas present and like the idiot I am, I ruined it.
I've read mixed things about a USB jig - some say that if I can't get into download mode without a jig then it's useless.
I'm open to anything at this point. I just want to get my brother his phone... If it does end up being that the phone is dead (we bought it at Best Buy), what should I say to them? Should I go through Best Buy or T-Mobile?
*Any* help would be appreciated.
A usb jig may work ! And you can make yours by yourself

take out battery, hold down power button/volume up/down
if you feel a vibration, the phone is not dead
if you don't take it to bestbuy and tell them the phone broke itself
Tried this - no vibration whatsoever. I'm not sure when you wanted me to plug in the power. If I just plug it into the USB without the battery the computer recognizes when I let go of the volume buttons. Like it's disconnecting from the machine.
It comes up as 'qhsusb_dload'.
Also, do you have experience with Best Buy? Are you sure I'd go through them and not T-Mobile?
QHUSB_DLOAD stands for
qualcomm high speed usb download mode
sounds fully bricked to me(dont quote me on it)
what this means is that if you send it back to bestbuy/tmo/samsung they will not know if its rooted or not, so they cant refuse to fix it
again, wait for someone of more knowledge to confirm QHUSB_DLOAD = full brick(although im pretty sure it is)

actually, i just found another thread with similar situation
skillllllz said:
**UPDATE** I closed Oden and killed all processes related to Kies. Then with my phone still in download mode, I quickly unplugged and plugged the cord into the PC's USB port. Odin was able to communicate with the phone and flash the firmware successfully. Hopefully this info will be useful to some other soul and save their butt.
I think I may have bricked my phone also. I was flashing the latest firmware also, it almost completed and then Odin said it failed. Now the device is still in download mode, Odin can't seem to establish a connection, and I'm afraid to pull the USB cable out or power-cycle the phone. Anyone have any ideas? This really sux

this guy has his phone in download mode still
so he was able to rescue it, now that your phone does not even respond, then you should have no problem getting it fixed by samsung(whether directly, thru tmobile or bestbuy)

Hey,
Ive got a big Problem.
Ive flashed my HOX with the Insert Coin Rom 10.7.1. Everything worked well.
But then i wanted to flash another kernel to get access to the cpu core clocking.
i wanted to flash franco kernel r21. so i downloaded the kernel and the modules and did the step-by-step tutorial.
but something went wrong. after the reboot my HOX has a bootloop. and i cant get into the bootloader. it just shows the htc logo.
when i connect the HOX with usb to my PC it makes the "something plugged in"-sound on my computer ^^. but nothing happens. When i try to power off the HOX it just restarts. it is on as long as the battery has capacity.
Could i do anything to get it back to life?
Sorry for my bad English.
Try issuing from pc
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you want to go to bootloader or
Fastboot reboot
to reboot into your rom.

the problem is:
fastboot just shows:
"waiting for device"
Try holding down power button+Vol down button for approx. 10 seconds. That should take you to bootloader.

Then plug the cable in. Go to fastboot. You should see fastboot usb on the phone.
now ivegot a bigger problem. after flashing a newer version of insertcoin (13.0.0) i updated hboot to 1.31, i had no network connection anymore. then i wanted to flash the stock kernel but now it restarts again and again and shows me for about 2 minutes a black screen with a blue screen phone and a red triangle with a red "!" in it.
i think i did nothing good. :/

he was wrong. You have to wait for it OTA refreshing
what means OTA Refresh?
Custom kernels don't work on the new base for your information.
ok. so how i can flash the stock kernel? i cant get into fastboot mode, because it just shows the warning sign i told you above.
Okay, so recently installed the 4.4.2 OTA on my completely stock nexus 7 (unrooted, bootloader still locked).
Tried connecting to my PC via bluetooth (for headset) and noticed that it wasnt working (was working on 4.4), so decided that maybe a reboot would fix the problem.
And now the tablet doesn't boot. Completely unresponsive, no charging icon etc. either. Tried holding down the power button, power and +/- vol for 20+ secs to no avail. Connecting the tablet to my laptop makes windows update search for the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver. From what I've read this is supposed to be some sort of hardbrick?
I left the tablet completely stock and haven't done any tinkering except use the Wugfresh toolkit to do a backup (which only needed USB debugging on). Also the battery was definitely 60%+ before I attempted rebooting.
Help please? This is completely out of the blue seeing as I never even unlocked the bootloader or anything?
Please help!

Gone through both of them, tried the steps in the first one but I cant get to fastboot, still a blank screen and QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. The second one mentions in it's FAQ that the bootloader must be unlocked before using it? Mine was locked so I guess I cant use that method?

Hmm, well, last ditch would be to charge it overnight, and hold the power button down for several minutes, if that doesn't do it, you may have to just use the warranty.

Alright so still no dice. Warranty is out of the question because I bought an imported version off eBay before it was officially available on Google play here in India.
From what I've understood this may be recoverable. People have made fixes for some HTC devices etc. Basically if someone could makes a "QCN" backup from a working device I may be able to restore the bootloader using the Qualcomm drivers. Or would this tool be of any use?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
Not too familiar with all this low level flashing stuff - so need a second opinion. Will try again today evening, leaving it unplugged this time.

Yeah, I don't know much about that either, sorry, I'm not going to be much help there.
Ok, am I the first person with this problem? When the device is plugged in to the PC and I try holding down the buttons (tried almost every combo I could think of) the disconnect/connect sound plays and the tablet is re-detected by device manager as QHSUSB_DLOAD. Im extremely disappointed that this can happen even without screwing around with the system.
The warranty card with the tablet seems to imply international warranty although not specifically stated, it's from the US, so would taking it to an Asus center in India be of any use?

Downloaded them, I think a USB driver is needed for the tablet to show up as a COM port, I've tried a few drivers but QPST Configuration was unable to connect. Even if it were able to connect I dont know what to do after that, it seems that some device-specific hex/qcn/xml files are needed and this is the mode the manufacturer uses when flashing the bootloader. Does this mean that my bootloader somehow magically corrupted itself?!

That's exactly the thing, it doesnt get into fastboot mode or anything, I assume you need a working bootloader to be able to boot fastboot? If it was in fastboot I would have attempted this already.
Anyway the seller says that the item is covered under a 1 year international warranty, thats my only chance now I guess....
The thing that concerns me is that I was completely stock, locked bootloader and unrooted. Only installed the official OTA updates (no sideloading either).
For those who are interested - I finally had time to drop by the service centre. They replaced the battery and motherboard (it was under warranty). I was expecting them to do some magic with QPST or something though.
The same has just happened to me, but I'm out of luck, the warranty has expired.
Did anyone have managed to fix it with the QPST drivers?
thanks.

I rooted my phone about a month ago using PurpleDrake and now I'm on SkyDragon G3 V0.0.5 w/ TWRP. I had never been able to boot into download but thought nothing of it since it wasn't crucial at the time. Then, yesterday I accidentally took the new OTA update, but was able to fix it with the ADB commands that others have posted. Being able to get into download mode would have made life easier so I tried to fix it today. Flashed stock boot.img and tried to re-run PurpleDrake to see if I missed a step but it won't detect my phone for a reason I don't know. At my wit's end.
Not being able to get into download mode is a concern in case I ever to fully return to stock. Wondering if any one has some insight on how I can do that or if there's some image file I need to flash, etc.?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I could have been more clear in my post. I have visited that thread and held volume up while plugging my phone in, but all that happens is the LG logo screen pops up for a few seconds, then the phone shows the charging percentage. When I try to do it from the advanced reboot menu when the phone is powered on, it simply reboots into the system. Same deal if I try to do it from TWRP. Really not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Is it possible that I somehow corrupted the bootloader or something else that's hopefully fixable?

I think you made a wrong procedure.
Take the battery out and put back in.
Press and hold volume up button.
Plug in the cable.
Release the button when you see download mode screen.
In addition, make sure you have LG PC Suite with phone driver installed.

Thanks but I have already done this with the same result as I've described. I know how it is supposed to be done with the hardware keys and I am using the stock data cable. Even watched a YouTube video demonstrating how it is to be done. Are there any other possibilities?

Hey guys,
So i wanted to do a factory reset on my Phone before i calibrated my new replaced battery.
To clear all battery stats, coordinates and normalize charging.
I tried doing it through hboot, which seemed to work.
The problem was it lasted longer then an hour and it seemed to be stuck in a loop or something, although im not quite sure.
I decided to turn it off, i tried again but the Phone didn't respond to anything i did.
Cant power it back on or get in hboot, the red led doesn't light up if i plug it into the wall or the pc.
When i plug the phone into the pc,
Windows does make that recognition sound it makes when pluging devices into the usb port.
Can i get my phone working again, i just got the battery replaced.
Or did i screw up my phone.

Throw it away..get a new (second hand one) on eBay. £30.
Job done....
The fault is obviously the battery from what you have said. Send it back and complain..
What happens if you hold volume down and power...
Well the thing is i got some important stuff i need on the phone so i really would like to bring it back to live if possible.
When i hold down the volume down and power button nothing happens.
The weird thing is i already had the battery replaced with a new one and it worked absolutely fine.
Its when i did a factory reset it seemed to be stuck in a loop or something cause it took forever to finish resetting so i turned it off,
and now it doesnt turn on at all. The little led light doesn't turn on when i plug it into the wall.
When i plug it into the pc though, windows makes the sound it always makes when plugging something into a usb port.
But when i press the power button (or hold it) it makes the same sound as when you would disconnect the Phone from the usb-port.
Its as if windows recognizes im trying to turn the Phone on and off.
Could turning off a Phone while in the process of a factory reset really kill the battery?
Kinda hard to believe if you ask me but then again i dont really know, thats why im asking here .
Thank for the reply though, its appreciated.

Years ago when rooting my One X+ it ran out of battery...
This was a total nightmare because it couldn't charge without an OS or while in bootloader......
This does actually sound like what's happened, your phone has totally discharged while factory reset...no matter how weird that sounds.
I found a script/program/batch file (I can't remember which one) that continually switched the phone on and off via my PC that actually recharged the battery....I know it sounds mad but it worked and it is a workaround for this very common problem.
See if you can find that script/program, it on XDA somewhere for the One X+ maybe it's for the X also......it may well work

So ive read the link you posted, seems like it could work.
But i have no idea how to go about it, ive never flashed a rom or rooted a phone before
Im totally new to xda-developers.
Should i go through all the 5 steps and would following those 5 steps change the os of my Phone?
Would it be possible to just follow the first step (descibed bellow) until the Phone has been charged and then try to get in HBOOT?
1. Get the follow Fastboot-battery-recharge.rar and place it in the samefolder as your ADB files.
- It will restart your phone every X seconds and so it can be charged while the black screen is on, this can take HOURS (It gets 2mV by every reboot)!
ADB files?
Hope you have the patience for a greenhorn like me

OK I think you can just download HTC Sync manager and that will install the right drivers. It certainly won't hurt....so Google HTC Sync manager....let it install.
Power your one x up go into settings, power, turn off fast start up/boot....
Then still in settings go to Developer options and turn on USB debugging...
Plug your phone up to your computer and choose charge only..
I will pick this up tomorrow as its past midnight here but I will walk you through it as I will root my one x at the same time as writing your instructions....I'm a bit rusty....I root once a year and always forget how to do it!!
The next thing you do is open up the adb folder and a cmd window.....but as I said wait till tomorrow
****I HOPE YOU WATCHED THE YOUTUBE VIDEO IN THE POST ABOVE. IT MAY SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER!!!!!!****

Just plug it in to charge overnight (on mains not your pc)
In the morning whilst still plugged into the mains hold all the buttons down until something happens!! Shouldn't be more than a minute but don't give up hope on that....also change your USB cable if you can.....will carry on walk-through tomorrow.
I hope that works....

I tried what you said and nothing happens, already tried every button combination.
Also tried using different USB-cable and even another adapter (same model).
Still nothing happens.

That's a shame, it means we've got to carry on!!
So download and install these 64bit drivers:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217384
I know they are old but so is the phone!! And because there's no power to the phone we can't easily determine if the sync manager has installed the right ones.
More instructions to follow this evening..

This is better because the sync manager is only bloatware!! It just has the drivers included so it was easier than extracting the drivers.....but just installing the drivers is a lot cleaner.
Will help you a bit later, not in front of my pc, just on my phone at moment.....

Just to add to your post:
Drivers for One x and older devices was purged a few years ago from recent versions of sync manager.
So you would be wasting your time downloading and installing it to discover the phone is not detected..and maybe H.W. Plainview already tried this :silly:

Even if i would download the drivers separately.
Is there something else i could do to get my Phone working again?
I'll still give eskimosound's idea a try, just in case
HW, I'm going to have to sort this tomorrow for you...we just have to put the sdk folder on your C: Drive root....then put the script file .exe in the folder and run it from there. The problem we have is whether your PC will recognise it's got the phone plugged into it powered down without it being in fastboot.....you may need more assistance because my skills are limited!!!
I have a spare day tomorrow to sit down and sort through it properly.
In the mean time find a tutorial on installing the sdk folder....
This is the only way I can think to fix it apart from sending it back to HTC!......keep searching as there are loads of threads on it...

Thanks for the help though its appreciated

So this is what I THINK you do.....
Unzip the Android Slim SDK anywhere but desktop is good.
Plug you phone into your PC via usb.
Copy and paste the Fastboot-battery-recharge.rar into the Platform Tools folder. (That's inside the unzipped Android Slim folder)
Unzip it!
Whist in platform tools folder hold down shift, right click and open a command window.
Type: adb reboot bootloader.
With a bit of luck your phone may spring to life...
I think next just run the Fastboot-battery-recharge.exe
(I haven't looked inside this RAR so am not sure what to click on but it should be self explanatory, you can always ask on that thread) and follow instructions...
Tell me what happens!!
It will work, it's what XDA do, fix things!!!
