Hi all. I apologize in advance for my English. I use google translator. I have a problem with my hox, I had him in the service but did not find what it is. Telephone writes that the application has stoped and it gradually all aplication and services. I wanted to hard reset or reinstall rom but to no avail. The phone will not run. I wanted to use nvflash but I could not find the files for flashing. Warranty does not. Thank you for your help.

that's weird, if you cannot get into fastboot you probably bricked your device... what is does actually?
Does the pc recognize it as APX maybe ?

phone is switched off and I get to apx. only lack the necessary files that I should-flashing. I got here just for tablets

ok so if you are on apx mode the only thing you can do is return the phone to the manufacturer

And why not in apx mode via nvflash?
APX is at the moment still a hardware brick where no real solution exist for. There is a thread somewhere about that. But when you get out of apx it probably kicks back in after several hours/a day or 2 max
It is strange to me that the phone occasionally moves into fastboot. Now charging the batteries.

Probably. I finally got into fastboot and clockworkrecovery but I am in error E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No Such file or directory)
Then you need to upgrade the recovery. You have an older one. Try cwm 5.8.4.0 it solves that problem

In order to use nvflash you need the sbk which is something that hasn't been leaked.
Also the apx mode that you are stuck in is the low level recovery mode.
Nobody has found a way yet to safely enter and exit this mode.
Certain Hardware faults trigger this mode which means you should see these questions.
Why are you in apx mode?
What has caused you to enter this mode?
And the most likely answer is that something in your device has stopped working.
So even if you can use nvflash to reflash your devices partitions. It's still unlikely to work again as the thing that caused it to enter apx in the first place has not been addressed
Edit: stupid phone. Only loaded half of the comments.
I hope your in luck and back alive but note that it is highly likely that you will end up stuck back in apx soon

something that is probably true. I lost my phone, the police found him. phone returned to me with a broken display. I changed the display and since then I have found increasingly in apx mode.
I would swap the motherboard but I do not know where to buy it.

Dear All,
After I did repartition sd-card with rom manager i can't boot my phone. I mean i can't even get to download or recovery mode. I think it also repartition internal sd too. Right now when I plug in to charge or usb even the red light does not turn on but windows 7 does recognize it as QHSUSB_DLOAD, if can find a driver I think I can flash it with odin but after several hours of searching I could not find any driver suitable for it. Can anybody help me with this?
Yep, odin is probably the right program to use
Here's another thread with the same story.
I know but as I don't have that weird driver Odin does not recognize phone. So I need the drivers called qhsusb_dload...
Actually I would only use Odin with Samsung...
I hope somebody can find solution to this problem, that we flash entire phone without recovery mode... if somebody has the driver please post it...
Ya, I have the same issue.
I wasn`t able to find the driver for my device too. Sad Panda!
...seems like there`s no solution right now. I ll give it to HTC this evening if noone could give THE advice to repair it on my own.
Does anyone know why the desire is crashing when trying to use ROM Manager to partition the sd-card?
Well, I think I will give it to HTC a few hours later today seems to me there is nothing we can do about it.
All the drivers that are needed are installed with HTC Sync. Odin won't find your DHD because it's meant for Samsung phones (and even they have to be turned on in download mode). As your phones won't boot to either recovery or bootloader there's not much you can do.
You are right, I already sent it to HTC. I hope they don't recognize that it's rooted. But as it has already repartitioned the sd-inside, I don't think they will try to recover any data and try to understand it.

I don't know if this helps anyone...... I found the drivers for "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but I haven't been able to do much else. If anyone else finds a way to recover the device please post.
Koush confirmed that this was an issue with older versions of ROM Manager and has since been fixed. However, this happened toe yesterday using the latest recovery and the latest ROM Manager. He hasn't responded to me as of this post. A new phone is on its way from tmobile.

The device is bricked. The drivers don't help. The only fix it to send it back and get a new one.
Update: I can now repair the Desire HD with advanced JTAG recovery. If you need help with a bricked Desire HD, please PM me...
Riff Box Jtaging recovery im guessing.
Now i Dont have riff box, but I have x64 drivers installed and working for the qualcomm port, and QPST sees the phone properly. The only thing im missing are the files to flash.
Edit:
If anyone is needing them; Attached are the x64 drivers for "qhsusb dload"
You can't flash the phone when it's in CPU mode. The only devices that can really do that are the NVFlash units that are the Tegra 2 chipsets. From what I know, JTAG is required. And yes I use the RIFF box and advanced micro-soldering to recovery these particular models. The Desire HD is a very difficult phone to take apart and requires skill in small electronics to not damage components. Despite the build quality, HTC makes phones that are very difficult to dis-assemble.
Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.

It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.
I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.
After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

The update was most likely incomplete/corrupt. Unfortunately, I've heard that the Ouya uses SBK in nvflash. You should try the print screen method of forcing a reboot to recovery (check out the post by mbm http://forums.ouya.tv/discussion/1380/recovery-mode). If you can get there, we can get you a flashable zip that would solve the issue.

What is the exact VID/PID?
If it fails to boot anything but APX mode, you are screwed. APX is locked down on the ouya (So much for "Open", eh?), and there's basically no way to get around it.
OUYA can *probably* fix it ,assuming they even know the SBK is set (I'm not really convinced.).
The weird thing however:
None of the released OTA's flash the bootloader or anything else that should ever be able to cause it to get stuck in APX.
No amount of failed flashing should be able to get it into that mode, ever!

In fact, It is incredible.
In the first day, my console is stuck in "Type password to decrypt storage" message after os boot. I succeded enter in recovery mode and make a factory reset. Yesterday this issue with APX mode. OUYA console is not ready for mass market.
The modem updater-scripts for my GS3 usually check a hash of applicable files before flashing. Ouya can probably do the same to ensure that they don't write a bad system partition / boot.img to the device. From the description, it sounds like the weak networking capabilities of the Ouya caused the updater.zip to incompletely download. Then the reboot into recovery caused the corrupt zip to be run. Basically...the update bricked the device. They need to fix both the weak networking and update their scripts to account for potentially corrupt files. It would be cool if we could somehow trick the device back into recovery.
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!

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?

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.

Hello community members,
TL;DR no adb, no fastboot, no flashmode, no QDloader (or similar) ... how to unbrick it?
I was trying to force Android to allow lower lcd backlight brightness levels by patching framework-res.apk and I had the edited zip file ready to flash. Then I realized that my Android 7 Ressurection remix ROM (thread) flashed Cyanogenmod recovery, which I don't like. So I decided to reflash TWRP 3.0.2 (link) ( edit: using "fastboot flash boot twrp.img", which was almost fatal mistake) and it has gone almost well. The phone started to boot into recovery mode everytime (and took a long time doing so). So I googled a bit and found this thread which lead me to this thread. I was looking forward to seeing my display brightness at lower than default values, so I probably skipped some security checks and texts with red color, so I flashed the zip with the boot.img replaced. After flashing I chose reboot and nothing happened since.
The problem is I flashed something that was not for my device (extracted boot.img to wrong mmcblk). The command that bricked my phone is (from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script):
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6");
After that it doesn't boot, doesn't light up LED (even when charging), doesn't get detected by PC in any state.
So I have no adb, no fastboot and no flashmode and not even a QDloader or similar mode.
Is there a way to unbrick it?
EDIT: How to unbrick it using JTAG interface? If I find somebody that has the required equipment, what data do I need to give them?
Hey there! Did you manage to solve the issue, because I just got into the same situation after the zip didn't save the corrected partitions but the initial ones... So i ended up without any signs of life in my phone

Nope, I found no solution ... even some kind of Qualcomm flashing mode via COM (serial port over USB) does not show up nowhere. I gave up and bought a used S5 mini, which is full of features I appreciate.
I'm gonna keep this Xperia M for some time if some solution comes up.

No, as I said, the phone does not react on anything. I would be able to put it back together if this was possible.

can you still access fastboot mode? anyway you need to know first what is exactly partition that you overwrite with boot.img :/
. That was really critical -_-

Nice looking tutorial, but I cannot find any download link for that One Click Unbrick Tool in that article. I doubt it would work, they are not explaining what it does.

No, as I said. The partition that got overwritten was /dev/block/mmcblk0p6. It was overwritten by boot.img from LG OPTIMUS 3D that I link to in the main post.

I don't think this has any chance that it will work.

Do you know how to use Flashtool?
If so, did you already attempt flashing a ftf via Flashmode (Hold VolDown)?

I know what Flashtool is. I know what ftf is. I used it once I think.
But the phone does not boot into flashmode as I mention in the main post.
