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

I have a serious problem. My tmobile g2 is rooted and has virtuous rom installed. It worked fine for a week but then all of the sudden it died. Completely shut off as I disconnected phone from the charger. Now I can't get the phone to turn on. I have tried volume down and press power button. No response. I took out the battery and sd card and put them back in. No response. I even tried battery from a different g2 phone. still the phone refuses to turn on. Did I brick my phone or what?
I bought the phone on craigslist so I can't go to t-mobile for a solution.
I have just spoken to HTC repair line and given them all my info. They have asked me to send in the cell for a repair. If the cell has no out-of-warranty damage then it will be free. Now the problem is, out-of-warranty damage also includes modifying the software in the cell. Now mine is rooted and has a custom rom on it. You guys think they will find out or care to find out? I mean the phone is totally dead and will not boot up at all.
Please give solution before I sent it in. Is there anything I can do on my part to revive the cell? thanks.
It is really depends on your luck!!
maybe the phone is totally **** and they will give you a new one so will not
know it was rooted .or maybe they can fix it and will find out!!
this is a long shut but try to connect it to your computer and see if you can
you ADB shell by any chance??

Then how will tmobile be able to find out...
I bought a motorola cliq off craigslist and it had scratches so I called tmobile and returned it for a remanufactured one np. They don't know where u got it, u may be the original owners family member... there is a 1 year warranty from tmobile from the purchase date from tmobile. They don't care who u are, unless u were dumb enough to tell them u got it off craigslist....

Umm, I am not sure if its that simple. I remember we took a phone to tmobile for repair and they asked for receipts etc. It seems each telephone is registered to your name in your account and they know if this phone belonged to you or not. So lets see, I will try it and see if they can help me out. I will play dumb.
Thanks for the help.

if its that simple? I wasnt saying this is how it "should" happen. I said this is what happened with me. I dont understand why they would treat you any differently. They have a manufacture warranty for a year, fact.
But you are right, just play stupid... they should swap u out.
I swapped the cliq right when i bought it and then i swapped it again about 2 months ago (a week before the year was up). Swapped it then bought my wife a g2. so we have a brand new (remanuf) cliq in the closet just in case.
Hi,i have been trying to revive my phone for about a month and tried a lot of debrick images,with 2 diferrent SD cards,the second one was a "top of the line" samsung Evo that cost me about 40$,and i f*ck*ng give up.
Anyways,do you guys know any store or site that does Jtag services,and that are 100% safe,even though my phone is a brick i still want it with me.I live and mozambique and they dont have any stores that have that service,so my only option is shipping it to fix

HELP HARD BRICKED my LG G4
At the time I did and ended Downgrade process seemed that all ends well but the device was turned off and no longer enciendio not give anything the PC screen or only recognizes the device as QHSUSB_BULK to find and install the drivers recognize the device with the name Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008 (COM13):crying::crying::crying:
Thanks for taking the time to read the post and I hope you are taking the time to read this, and you can help me solve this brick on my lg g4:good:
any solution? :crying:
As far as I know there is no fix if you attempted to downgrade your bootstack...sorry. There is a bold lettered post warning not to attempt a downgrade. Hopefully you can get a replacement through your carrier but they may deny it if they can figure out what you did.
it is not known whether there will be any solution as lg LG G2 or G4?
I sent mine in to LG repair and about a week later got it back fixed and flashed to 81110N under warranty.
Took about 8 days total.

Bingo! there is no such thing as a hard brick if you got the right equipment.
How much did they charge to repair it ?

Under warranty = No Charge
(or at least did in this case)
Just tell tmo to send you a replacement under warranty for $20. They'll pay for shipping both ways.

I had not heard of that service. Nice.
But, I actually wanted my particular phone back. I don't have any of the problems some others have reported with wonky screens, messed up batteries, wifi issues or whatever some folks have experienced and I did not want a refurb nor even take a chance with another new unit. If I experienced any of these issues, I'd have been all over this for the quick turnaround.
Also, I bought mine outright and am a prepaid customer. TMO's official answer to our service requests is: Suck a big pink ****...go to lg

Yeah but don't they check the device and discover you just voided your warranty ?
Even then it isn't the end of the world, these guys have the tools to fix it.

Well.... then send it to LG.. They don't send refurb units unless they absolutely cannot repair yours.

Yeah, long since have gotten back repaired.
Last time I shipped them my G2 for the digitizer, it only took them three days.

I sent my phone back to the LG repair centre to fix the wifi module but they wont because of the unlocked bootloader. In their accompanying letter they said their out of warranty repair centre could fix it. I called them but they said no.
Now I can live without wifi but when I got the phone back I cant even get pass the initial start-up to use the phone as it cant use my data connection as the sim is only showing one bar and no lte/3g signal. They seemed to have broken the sim slot. I have flashed a kdz to see if it would help but no change. I have tried two sims but to no avail.
Anybody any ideas or are their any repair centres that could fix this in the UK?
Thanks
Would I be locked out of the phone at the minute as I didnt remove my Google account before I returned my phone to LG? Clutching at straws here. Very frustrating as I have an expensive paperweight.
Bummer mate. Sorry to hear that.
But if i remember correctly there should be warranty for the hardware compounds. Or everything can be tied to a unlocked bootloader.
"Hey the usb is toast because unlocked BT"... That's bull.
Better try to get some help from a local repair center. It would not be cheap or you get lucky and you get your phone up and running in no time.
Good luck.
Oh WOW! I just flashed the latest MM kdz using LGUP and I immediately got a full LTE signal. I dont know how but its working. Very very happy!

Yeah I read that if its less than 6 months old and if its a hardware fault it should be fixed under warranty. I will try and get it fixed elsewhere. Not contacting LG again. Just so happy I got it working again. Going to buying a Nexus 6P as a Xmas pressie to myself so just going to use this until then. I have had to use a HTC One M7 for the last three weeks while working in London. Broken charging port and battery not lasting a day. My boss wasnt happy as he needs to contact me but my M7 was always off lol.
Have a good weekend m8!

Have a great weekend too mate.
Just my 2 pennys....... don't rush about the 6P.
As a former HTC and recently LG user i want to tell you, to take your time and look around.
I am sure you find something more interesting and better then 6P.
So my nexus 5x has shut off and just won't turn on, tried all the tricks i have learned over the years, from cords to button combos, I am chalking it up to the motherboard. I have called LG they referred me to google google referred me to lg, when lg decided they wanted me to send it in they said wow this international we don't have parts for this.... I said can you send me the number to international repair they said we don't have that.... seeing that this website is world wide could someone think of a way lg might accept my repair or do i have to send it overseas if so does anyone have a number for that? Thanks in advance gang
Had the same issue with trying to get a repair. They referred me to their Canadian website for support. Looked like they had one price for any repair, but I didn't pursue it.
