[Q] Bricked HTC One X

Hey guys, Battery went flat during a ROM install and now phone wont charge or turn on or anything.
I've spent the past few days researching the problem and I believe it to be bricked.
When connected to the computer I get QHSUSB_DLOAD displaying in the device manager.
I can see there is a fix for this for the HTC Sensation however nothing looks promising for the HTC One X.
The device itself is only 3 weeks old and has never had an issue before, Just stupid me didn't check the charge level before flashing yet another ROM to test lol.
Does anyone know if this is repairable/will be repairable? If not, Will Telstra replace it under warranty?
Also I haven't been able to find a Telstra RUU for this device either if anyone knows where to obtain one?

Try charging it first. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26192390

Thanks for the suggestion mate but unfortunately it does nothing. The phone isnt even booting as far as fastboot.
Same problem as here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23078349 However for the HTC One X

You know more about this than I do. Apparently, going dead in the middle of flashing corrupted hboot. I don't know a way to recover from that with s-on except taking it in to a htc service center. Since they won't be seeing the bootloader screen, they will have to replace it IMHO.

For ruu to work, you should be able to boot the phone to bootloader at least.

I bricked my phone, flashed wrong rom. :(

so I just tried to flash a rom on my phone and stupid me being tired as hell flashed the wrong one.
If there any way I can do anything to it?
If it helps I accidently flashed the galaxy note version of a rom on my Rogers S3.
I am guessing I am basically screwed and need to send it in?
Thanks.
Sorry mod had like 40 windows open and posted this in the wrong board, kinda freaking out. :/
can you move it to the Q&A please?

Can you get to Odin?

Possibly try a jig, if that doesnt work(and it probably wont as you've borked your bootloaders) send it to mobiletechvideos and pay $60 for them to JTAG it, they are a very reputable company and have done the service for one of my captivates. Be more careful next time and at least you dont have to pay samsungs near-$200 price to fix it!
On another note if you dont want to have to deal with shipping(and you should get shipping insurance, cost more but worth it if the device disappears) you may be able to find someone locally that does JTAG service for the GS3 but I haven't seen anyone around me that does it.

I'm pretty sure a JIG should get you into download mode...I always thought a JIG is a sure fire way to get you into download mode. There is a thread somewhere that has a list of forum members that have JIG's and where they are located, if you don't have the money to buy a JIG you might be able to find someone to let you borrow theirs.

SO............................You thought your question was so important that it deserved to go in the original dev section.
Moved to Q&A where it belongs

Ok I am going to look into getting a jig.
Thanks for the help guys

No i didnt, if you read my origional post i said i made a mistake and asked if it could be moved.

As already stated a usb JIG requires some functionality of the bootloader, if it is completely nuked it will not work. The reason being the jig is simply a short circuit which triggers the bootloader to fire up, the most basic of functions being download mode. The bootloader from a different device may or may not have a similar enough instruction set to trigger the process. If none of the methods of [hopefully] getting into download, i.e. pulling the battery and letting the caps discharge, or booting the phone with the usb connected with or without the battery...chances are slim (although not impossible) a jig is going to do much. It is fairly simple to make your own jig as outlined in this thread although it does require fairly precise soldiering ability and a usb micro cable one would be willing to sacrifice. Most likely in this case JTAG is required to manually send an industry standardized set of signals to the PCB to jumpstart the bootloader into download mode.

If you're close to Austin I'd be glad to help. Jigs can help in some situations but I think this will not be one. Every other case of flashing the wrong boot loaders that I have seen has resulting in a non functioning phone or download mode even with a jig. I personally bought one back when I had my captivate because I had one that didn't have the button combo for download mode. Ended up with a soft-brick for a week one time while I waited for the thing lol.

[Q] Is it bricked?

I have a problem (not me actually but a friend who asked me for help). Phone does not bot up, but stops at the first HTC logo. Phone supposed to work properly until got wet in a backpack. Warranty does not cover such damage. At this time, you can run it in recovery mode, but nothing else. I added the screenshots from recovery. Do you have any proposal what to do with it?
I'd appreciate a step-by-step.

i was just reading the post you have directed me to Have no time to check everything right now, but i will and post everything here (or in the thread you have directed me to if you prefer). All i know right now i the phone was not rooted. Was workin until it got wet. It is charging, safe mode (powering + S) don't work; don't know about adb.

No problem, ill try to help when you get a chance to go thrugh the thread. Water damage can be brutal, but not always. If you don't mind post in the other thread that would be great. I'm trying to keep as much together as possible so people can only have to search in one place for their answers

Phone Wont turn on :(

So I updated my phone from CM10.1.0 to CM10.1.2 today. I used the updating feature found in settings.
Everything seemed to go well, the rom updated, phone rebooted, and 140 or so apps updated. Got to home screen and everything works fine. About 5 mins later the phone shuts down. I turn my phone on again, 1 app updates, and I get the home screen. I checked my email and such and put my phone in my pocket. About 5 mins later I notice my phone has turned off again, cept this time now it won't come back on :/
I've searched google and some people point to the battery being the culprit.
http://www.sebertech.com/2013/03/sam...-problems.html Issue #16
and
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...turn-help.html
Both say to remove battery, plug the phone in, watch for the charging light to come on, then reinsert the battery. This doesnt work either.
If I take my battery out and plug in the charger, the charging light does come on. If I hold the power button down in this state after a few seconds the light will turn off until I release the power button. With the light on and after reinserting the battery the light goes back out after a few seconds. I just went and got a new battery, but thats not working either :/ I havent been able to boot into recovery mode or download mode.
If the update bricked my phone would it turn on and work just fine before dying? I used a data connection just fine after the update.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The rom shouldn't be an issue at all because CMTeam... Why would they do such a thing.
When you updated from 1.0 to 1.2 did you:
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache before you updated.
reset permissions via Custom Recovery after update?
I saw a few people with S3's that went through exactly the same problem but it turns out the phone's main-board was fried because of a corrupted NAND right after a flash.
If there's no haptic feedback or led when you try to turn on the phone ( With a battery ), it's a possible brick but its not super-bricked.
If you put a usb / charger on the phone with no battery in it and it indicates a red LED. There is a possible 50/50 you can restore it but
it'll cost around some 40-60 bucks for having it JTAGGED.
If there is no LED when the phone's plugged to a charger wall port / USB via computer with no battery.
It is completely dead and you'd wanna send that in to get a brand new phone.
It just looks like you need it JTAG Repaired.
Hopefully others would have a better and possible way of finding what happened. Because mines would be a last resort
type of thing and its the only thing I know when the SIII Bricks after completely doing a clean flash or if the phone ends up dying
for no reason after a flash.

I used the method provided by CM found in settings -> phone info, like I have many many many times. I dont remember the full process, but I dont think those options are provided in that method, just download the rom then click update.

You claim it booted up after the flash and everything worked, so it can't be that you flashed a cm rom for a different device. It doesn't even attempt the boot splash?
Have you tried putting the battery in and plugging the charger for several hours? Could just be a bad usb port and or bad charger cable and your device simply is out of power. Find a different cable or charger all together and try see if anyone has a similar phone that you can try their battery in your phone.

Yeh, the fact that it started fine twice is what is baffling me. Though it did turn itself off after a few mins both times.
Yeh, I plugged the charger in overnight last night just in case. I took it to the sprint store where the guy took out my battery and tested it, he said it was bad and that was the issue. As of now I've tried 4 different batteries. My own, a new one I bought and fully charged and 2 borrowed from people at work.

That's really weird.... And none of the led come on at all? Really weird, it's not a brick issue because it would give some symptoms but it's like it's not getting power at all. It could just be a major hardware failure. The power button is defective on the S3 but it usually makes an attempt to turn on.

It really sounds like it flashed an International rom from those symptoms. But you said it turned on after the flash.

It flashed whatever rom was downloaded from the phone info screen. But yeh, it booted up, updated apps, and made it to the home screen after the update.

Sorry wish I could be more insightful, but I think your going to have to take it in to Sprint

I've posted in the CM10.1 thread, I'm not sure if Ive heard anything from anyone on the CM team though. I guess it's possible they messed something up, but I havent seen anyone else with this issue and CM, so I'm guessing the issue is on my end.

I would let the phone sit on the charger and try to boot into recovery and try to flash a tw rom. If you haven't tried that already its worth a shot.

It's doesn't power up at all regardless of how long it charges, he tried different batteries and bought a new one also. How would he be able to flash or even get into recovery if it doesn't power on?

Oh yeah forget it. It's not a power issue it's bricked. That's exactly what they say when they are bricked by flashing international roms. Jtag is your only option.
Try this can't hurt, this guy claims he revived a phone which was hard bricked. The method has not been confirmed but you have nothing to loose http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43305728

Sweet, will def try and report back on the results. TY

Have you tried my method of unbricking a hard brick without JTAG? The link is on my signature.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Hard brick on usc s3

I know that this is in the wrong area, but I could not find the area for the US Cellular LTE version of the sIII, if a moderator could move it to the appropriate are, that would be much appreciated.
I flashed a version of the MIUI rom that was meant for the GT-I900 version, but from the description it looked like it was for ALL s3's.
After finishing the aroma installer, the phone rebooted, or rather didn't. It powered off but didn't power back on, and I had a charged spare battery that I put in to see if that was the problem, it wasn't. I've done everything I can find documentation on, but to no avail. I've heard of ways that I could use an sd card with an image on it and odin mode that would load a version of download mode on it in a way that I could flash a fresh image, and it has had very positive results, but I haven't been able to find any version of the sd card image that is actually designed for the USC version. i also heard of using a usb jig, but it has had varied results on hard bricked phones and I'd rather not mutilate a charger or cable for a procedure with such varied results. Any help is much appreciated, as this is my only phone aside form my old g1, and it is the phone I use as a phone with google voice, without it I can't do any texts or any phonecalls, it's as dead as it can get right now without being physically broken, no download mode, no nothing. It doesn't do anything except for prompt me to pull my hair out, I'm almost at the point of taking out the mother board, getting a new one, and doing a video of some target practice with the old board. Also, if there is any way to recover the contents of the internal sd, that would be great, as while I made a cwm backup to an external sd, my photos and all of my music are on the internal. Thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

the contortions I had to put my hand through to get that combination were epic:silly:, but to no avail, I have no haptic feedback, nor even a charging light

I tried a method that uses the sd card to try and boot, but I had no success through the 3 files I tried

I'm probably going to need jtag, but I don't want to have to pay $30 for the service, if possible

are there any cheap jtag boxes I could buy? I have this http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/cable_...y_S3)_JTAG_Jig_(+_1_X_12_Pin_Molex_Port).html in mind as I'm not too hot at soldering (pardon the pun) and don't want to have to borrow one

I've heard people talking about a jtag rig, but the actual specifications or requirements for one such setup seem shrouded in secrecy, it's not like I can find a single one that advertises a price lower than 120

I haven't found them for less than $25

and that's for the service, not the unit

Is riff as good a jtag as they make it sound? I found an adapter that will allow me to plug it in without soldering, but are there any files that I'll need to unbrick it? Also, how much does riff cost from their site?
