Hey there,
Im a newb here, and this is my first thread, but whatever.
It all started a few months ago.
Several weeks after I rooted my play, and flashed cm7, with doom kernal, my play just suddenly didn't turn on. (Like, turned it off for the night, but refused to turn on in the day again) . However, after I took out the battery and charged it for 10 mins before plugging the battery back in and turning it on again, it worked. This happened intermittently, and through the 12 months I had with this phone, this has happened multiple times, albeit rarely. Every time it happened, it wouldn't turn on, no led when plugged in the charger, no nothing. Its like a dead brick. Plugged it into the computer and it says "QHSUSB_DLOAD". It would work after I charge it without the battery tho. LOL. - weird. (Something like this, link here
However, yesterday, 31/1/2013, my luck basically ran out. The same thing happened again, with "QHSUSB_DLOAD" showing up and all, but my above method didn't work. And so, I'm stuck with a dead brick.
Basically, my xperia play is unresponsive. Plugged it into the computer and it shows "QHSUSB_DLOAD" I think it stands for Qualcomm High Speed USB Download mode. Today, following this link I just randomly plugged in my phone while holding the back button, with flashtool open in the background. Its some miracle, like, my pc suddenly detected it as an unknown device, and flashtool did some kind of thing, not sure, forgot to screen shot but i think it goes along the lines of "installftfkit". After that, my phone booted.
However, because I wanted to plug in my sim card, i rebooted it, and this time it wouldn't turn on. I tried replicating the results, and all i got wasn't "unknown device" but "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
And there you have it, Xperia Play stuck at "QHSUSB_DLOAD" permanently after several times of intermittent incidents of that happening. It may be hardware failure, which explains the intermittent incidents.
But Im still kind of curious. What causes "QHSUSB_DLOAD"? What component fails that would cause the PC to read it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"?
Its a dead brick, but I am still trying to revive it. I installed qpst and the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers. QPST configuration reads a phone in download mode(image 1), QPST software download seems to be able to flash a phone and boot image(image 2). But it needs a hex file and stuff. (Not sure bout that)
Is it easy to get a boot image thing for xperia play? Can i flash it using QPST and make my phone work again?
Thanks for your help guys! Really appreciate it!

Correct me if Im wrong...but Im guessing you tried Flashtool and it doesn't work ?
Also , are you familiar with using fastboot?
another Xperia Play Problem
Hi I am a noob also.
I am having a similar problem. Today I was trying to install the wifi module since it wasn't installed on the gin2Jellybean rom, i tried to flash the phone using the Flashtool (turned the cellphone off and pluged it in again while holding the back button) then the window disappeared and nothing happened. So I tried again, but first I took out the battery and put it in again and tried to flash again and now nothing is happening, Doesn't turn on, Flashtool doesn't do anything and when I try plugging it the laptop does the sound of an unrecognized device. The phone doesn't vibrate or anything when I press the power button.
Just realized that I tried flashing my cell phone using the x10 BLRelock.ftf crap.. is there anyway I can fix this?
Please Help.
Thank you.

LOL WTS.
As I said, its totally intermittent and random. I tried plugging it into the computer today, and this time a red led was flashing. I let it charge up a little, and there i had it, booted up perfectly normally.
Maybe the plug is becoming dusty or whatever, resulting in the detection being very intermittent? It happens on and off.
When the phone booted up, I noticed the battery level being very low (2%) maybe it needed some charging? Maybe the battery's screwed?
Its really weird.
And yea, fast boot drivers are installed, and boot loaders are unlocked (If not cm10 wouldn't have been installed lol)
Gonna keep you guys posted and see if it goes dead after restarting. Gonna restart after it charges up to 40%.
(I need to restart cos I have to plug in my sim and memory card)

Well, I restarted and it worked.
My theory is this: Phone ran out of batt one day. Plug is loose and dusty. Computer couldn't detect it properly, charger couldn't charge my phone properly (contacts are rusty or whatever shyt) and therefore phone couldn't on.
Don't know why my computer detected it as QHSUSB_DLOAD multiple times throught the 1 month tho.
Could a dirty plug cause that?
During that 1 month there was no response on the computer, thought it was bricked lol.
Anyways, I will keep you guys posted if this happens again, thanks for your help guys!
Imma keep this thread open since this is intermittent.
I'll only close it after 2 months.

FML. Hands were itchy and wanted to see what would happen if I turned my phone off.
Now it can't turn back on, with the computer only detecting QHSUSB_DLOAD.

Turned on my phone after 10+ tries.
What I did:
1) Plugged out battery, held power button
2)Without releasing the power button, insert the battery.
Repeat until phone turns on.
Moral of story: Persistence pays off. Nah jk.
Made sure to on my phone with the sim card in this time
Never gonna off my phone ever again (Hope it doesn't run out of batt LOL)
One thing to note is this really weird fluctuation in my phone's battery levels. Maybe my battery is going nuts? Attached is the screenshot.
Made sure to on my phone with the sim card in this time
The epic fluctuation may provide clues as to why my phone's behaving like so.
As you can see from the third dip, I was charging my phone. And then after switching it off, it wouldn't turn on. After a day, and countless times of trying to wake it up, you can see that the battery level has dropped sharply. Weird.
The first dip happened a few days ago(not able to turn on) on 1st Feb. The second dip happened on the 4th, while the third happened on the 5th, today These drops in battery levels happened when my phone couldn't turn on.
Qhsusb_dload
I am sorry to say that my problem is still the same every time I plug my phone it is shown as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
I just need to find a driver for it.
PS my phone never turned on after the brick.
Can someone send me a link to the driver and instructions if hard to install.
Thank you.

Nope every time I connect it is detected as QHSUSB_DLOAD and it tries to find a driver and fails.

Even if it finds the driver, it wouldn't help you, cos QHSUSB_DLOAD means that the phone can't find the rom, and kernel or whatever. (I think) Its like a computer without an operating system. QHSUSB_DLOAD = Qualcomm Highspeed USB Download Mode, which means its waiting for the manufacturer to flash the rom and shyt, and therefore, your phone is bricked. (Dead brick, i think?)
For me, i think there's something wrong with the connections in my motherboard, resulting in the phone not being able to find the rom and stuff.
Maybe there's no hope for you.........
In short, I think your phone's bricked forever.... Most probably.
any fix bricked play
Hi,
I am in the same boat. I get the QSHUSB Dload error and I cant get the phone into flash mode. Its basically dead, as the others have mentioned. Anyone get a fix for this thanks

YOU SAVED ME! We have an Xperia Play at work and it wouldn't boot. Plugged it in USB and the HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Device came up. I read your post, did the power+battery thing 8 times, and it magically came back to life!
I wouldn't believe it if someone told me, but for some reason this seams to work. removing the battery and plugging it back in did not work for me, but holding down the power button did the trick.

HAHAHAHA LOL.
Glad it worked out for you
My guess is that there's something loose inside, and repeatedly trying to do that may help.
I think it's something to do with Sony's build quality, or maybe because the phone sustained hard knocks and stuff. (Probably just wear and tear)
Aledranssimo didn't reply me, so yea. T.T
This issue is probably an intermittent one I guess. I've since moved on and gotten a new phone (Lumia 520)
Hi, im in trouble here, i connected my phone to our laptop for file transfer when the phone suddenly went dead and wont turn on. i have connected my phone to my laptop before so this was really unusual. I have tried several times with the power button but still it wont start. When i connect the phone to a charger, there was still no response. no light, no vibrations. Please help. Thanks a lot.

Sounds like something shorted, and is time for an RMA. @Asus_USA, @Tuanies, what do you think?
Was there anything custom done before this happened (e.g. root, recovery, kernel, ROM)?
Try holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds, see if it turns on again. Let go, repeat. If nothing happens, then yes, you should RMA it.

Hi sethvitales, What I would recommend is that you try to use a different adpater and power cable and try to see if you are now getting a display or even a sign of charging. If you are not sucessful with these steps, email us at [email protected] with the serial number and location and we will have an RMA generated for you.

Hello, what does RMA stands for? i have tried using different cables for my zenfone 2 but still, nothing happened. Aside from downloading apps and games, there was no custom done to my phone.

Hello, thank you for answering, i have tried using different adapters and cable as well but there was still no response from the phone. I will send an email to social support and i really hope they could help me with this. My phone's barely 2 months old and there was no custom done to my phone prior to the incident. Thanks again!
Device stuck in loop.. "Mi Logo" then battery icon.. this keeps repeating.
Friends,
My redmi note 5 pro was 50% battery and it suddenly turned off. After that when power connected no response. Connect via USB and Mi Logo appears first, then the battery icon with a flash symbol in middle. This repeats continuously. Some help, please ?
The phone is not rooted. Still in warranty period. No recent update. The last update was 1 month ago. No glitches after that.

Woh.. its been a long time, though I am still using the same phone. ?
Try a hard reset first, if it doesn't help run to the service center. Don't worry about your data, service technician can easily recover it.
Back then My phone came into contact with sweat moisture and it fried few chips on the mother board.
Fluid damage is not covered under warranty, yet they gave me 50% discount. ?
All the data was restored afterwards and the phone still working fine.?
Hope you will find a solution soon. ?

I was also facing the similar issue yesterday. Actually my phone fell down while charging after that it's started behaving like that and I kept on charging for 2 hours and tried to switch to fastboot mode still no luck and after that I left the phone idle for sometime witout charging and I gently pressed all the edges of my phone and tried fastboot mode and it's started working.
I know the solution which I gave looks silly but it's worked for me
